Initial Fate Returns to Order · Heavenly Balance Shatters Fate
The world remained Annihilation and barren, and the echoes of the Silent Origin Heart-Annihilating Key still reverberated deep within the sea of consciousness. Qin Yu sat cross-legged, surrounded by the faint afterglow of black and gold annihilation light. He seemed to have sunk into the rift of time, regulating his breath, stabilizing his soul, and calming his mind.
This is an Ultimate stillness.
However--
In the midst of this profound silence, the thin mist beyond the decaying white forest suddenly rippled. Without a sound, one figure after another emerged as if from a rift in hell, slowly stepping into this dead zone shrouded in an aura of annihilation.
--Six people.
They were all dressed in deep black robes, faceless and hooded, their auras extremely restrained, so much so that even the laws of the world could not accurately trace their movements. They came from behind Qin Yu, but not one of them made a sound, and not even a speck of dust was disturbed.
Their footsteps were like those of the dead, as if they were born to exist in this decaying land.
Their cultivation levels—without exception—were all at the Supreme the Primordial Void Realm!
One person lightly raised a finger, the fingertip gleaming with a Ji Ran, cold light, around which were strands of fate like broken chains, and whispered:
"Only you, Qin Yu, have annihilated the alien beasts; only you, Qin Yu, can recuperate here. We have confirmed our target."
The silent air seemed to freeze in an instant.
While Qin Yu was recuperating in the depths of his soul, an assassination attempt unfolded silently.
The six people slowly approached, and although the heavens and earth did not move, it was as if the gravity of the entire Silent Realm was pressing down on Qin Yu.
One of them finally spoke, his voice low and piercing like an icicle, seemingly containing the essence of millennia-old snow, filled with a mixture of surprise and murderous intent:
"For billions of years... even the Only Book Realm · Supreme could only avoid that strange beast in the Corruption Spirit Lake; no one could truly Annihilation it."
But you did it.
"Moreover, in the entire Epoch Origin Ash Ruins, you are the only one who has made it this far... You must be hiding an unspeakable treasure within you."
He paused, a chilling glint appearing in his eyes, then slowly raised his finger and pointed at Qin Yu:
"Although I don't know what you gained, today—"
"This is your final resting place."
As his voice fell, six dark patterns, resembling the tearing of fate, appeared beneath the feet of the six people, reflecting the six layers of annihilation patterns: Severing Cause, Breaking Thought, Devouring Soul, Mieyin, Seizing Source, and Sealing Consciousness. They approached step by step, their spiritual energy already locking onto a hundred-foot radius around Qin Yu.
That comes from the meaning of "fixed killing".
They weren't there to test him, nor to capture him; they were there to completely erase Qin Yu from the world.
At that very moment, Qin Yu's eyelids trembled slightly.
He had already realized it.
An assassination attempt, arguably the most powerful in the cultivation world, is about to erupt.
Qin Yu looked at the six people, neither fearful nor speechful, but simply said softly:
Who you are is no longer important. What's important is... do you think six people can contain me?
Without a word from the six, the battle formation exploded.
The world suddenly changed, and six black figures appeared in six directions, forming the "Six Fate-Slashing Seals" formation. Each person used their Innate Martial Soul and suppressing combat skills at the start of the battle!
Man in Black Number One - Martial Soul: Abyssal Devouring Thorns - Annihilation Vine Ring
The moment the martial spirit unfolds, countless black thorns spring up from the ground, like annihilating poisonous vines, specifically designed to sever the soul's life trajectory.
Combat Skill [Erode Origin and Wither Fate]: Restrains the enemy's consciousness and soul, delaying the activation of their skills, and consuming ten times their mental energy for every thought they have.
Second man in black - Martial Soul: Bone-Destroying Night Ape - Roaring Thunder
A giant ape phantom appeared, its roar shattering the connection between the enemy's consciousness and their senses.
Combat Skill [Nether Quake Shatters Breath]: Causes the enemy to lose "life consciousness perception" for five breaths, temporarily disrupting their attack logic.
The third man in black - Martial Soul: Nightmare-Slaying Bone Lotus - Ninefold Weeping Mark
A black lotus appears, emitting an eerie light, specifically designed to seal the path of subsequent enemy skills.
Combat Skill [Weeping Scar Chain]: Constructs a chain of attacks to block enemy skills, preventing them from using skills consecutively and breaking the logic of the "combo" chain.
The fourth man in black - Martial Soul: Yinyuan Shahuang - Fallen Soul Flowing Flame
The phoenix roars, burning away the logic of space; once you get close, the technology is extinguished.
Combat Skill [World-Burning Falling Plume]: Induces the enemy's life trajectory to burn, causing the user to fall into a state of collapse.
Man in Black Number Five - Martial Soul: Curse-Devouring Frost Bones - Rift-Blade Nether Spear
Using cursed chains as blades and life as spears, shatter the enemy's life-sustaining bones.
Combat Skill [Curse Soul Pierces Fate]: Precisely locks onto the enemy's Fate Soul Nucleus, reducing the activation rate of Fate Soul skills.
The Sixth Man in Black - Martial Soul: Netherworld Soul Python - Abyss Lock Mieyin
The ethereal python forms a protective domain, trapping all of the enemy's "skill settings".
Combat Skill [Cause-Destroying Counter-Erosion]: Causes all enemy attack logic to be "reversely annihilated" before it is even initiated.
⸻
The six people activated the formation, and the world fell into complete silence. The area where Qin Yu was located was forcibly sealed off.
"So it was... the Six Fates Linked Killing Formation." Qin Yu's eyes turned cold as he slowly stood up.
Within the sea of consciousness, the Fate Cause Master Seal resonated, and the Silent Ring Wheel Diagram quietly emerged.
But he didn't make a move, only saying one sentence:
"Your first strike... can only be used once."
The wind suddenly stopped, and in the next second, six black shadows flashed through the air like lightning, blocking all of Qin Yu's possible escape routes. The first round of "Skill Chain Blockade" was fully activated!
Annihilation like an undercurrent, and in an instant, six streams of killing intent transformed into chains of life-sealing, sweeping in from six directions.
The deafening sounds of the underworld and the mournful cries of life force created a space as if it were sealed within six layers of a death vortex.
Qin Yu neither moved, nor dodged, nor avoided.
The next instant, the Fate Cause Master Seal suddenly appeared—
A dazzling [Fate Ring] phantom image rose around him, and ten layers of Fate-Cause chains intertwined and burst open in his sea of consciousness, with azure-gold annihilation patterns appearing on them, as if a tower of logical construction had suddenly reversed!
He stepped forward slowly, gently pushing the empty seal platform with his right hand:
"[Fate Ring - Linked-Stage Judgment]."
The words fell.
The entire space suddenly distorted--
Countless "chains of life" composed of enemy skills shattered in mid-air like broken mirrors, and the [Skill Chain First Strike Logic] activated by the six people was directly destroyed.
"What?!"
The man in black was greatly shocked. His "Cause-Destroying Counter-Erosion" combat technique was unable to accurately lock onto Qin Yu's skill starting point. Instead, he was forced to "fail"!
The other five also felt a sudden sharp pain in their minds, and the chain of techniques automatically shut down, as if they had been judged to have "activated an illegal attack."
[Fate Ring - Linked-Stage Judgment] -- This skill can determine whether all of the enemy's continuous skill chains are compliant. If the cause and effect are not closed and the logic is not self-consistent, it will directly collapse in the early stage of construction.
This is precisely Qin Yu's [Fate Cause Master Seal] system's extremely powerful opening move to break the deadlock!
The six-man attack failed completely in their first round. The surrounding atmosphere trembled, and they were forced back several feet. However, before they could counterattack, a glint appeared in Qin Yu's eyes:
"I'll control your pace."
His aura wasn't deliberately unleashed, yet it was like the overwhelming force of law, instantly reversing the offensive and defensive shifts of the six people, turning them into the "judgmented ones."
At this moment, they were no longer hunters.
They are six disqualified individuals awaiting trial.
After a brief moment of surprise, the six black-clad men at the Primordial Void Realm · Supreme launched a second wave of attacks almost simultaneously!
"Kill--!"
Three formed a formation, with three others providing support from behind, and their six Innate Martial Soul unleashed simultaneously high in the sky:
-
Nightmare Prison Soul Rend - Fallen Cause Monument: Raise the pitch-black stone monument aloft, like a judgment of suppression, and directly carve the enemy's soul cause into the annihilation monument's surface. Once successful, the target's soul consciousness...
The logical connection with the world will be severed.
Space Silence Spirit Transformation - Shadow Spider: Summons the King of Ten Thousand Shadow Spiders, simultaneously releasing Spiritual Sense erosion into the enemy's sea of consciousness, primarily targeting will interference and skill chain deployment.
Burning Era Forbidden Zone - Burning Flower: The lifeblood flower blooms, withers as a sacrifice, its petals transforming into 960 Blades of Severance. If they successfully strike, they can sever the target's life trajectory.
Reversed to "fragment".
Annihilation Mirror Wheel - Heavenly Reversal: Triple life mirrors overlap, returning all enemy techniques, soul consciousness, and logical trajectories, forcing "self-techniques" to counterattack oneself.
Breaking the Senses with Ashes and Echoes: The sound waves do not reach the ears, but enter the soul platform. When the enemy hears it, their senses are broken and their techniques are disordered.
Soul-Sealing Drops - Cause-Severing Bell: When the bell tolls, the enemy's soul is frozen, their consciousness is temporarily sealed, and their skill logic is directly frozen for five breaths.
-
Each move is a soul-destroying technique: locking, severing the soul, cutting the trajectory, severing the cause, returning the technique, and confusing the senses—the combination is flawless.
The battlefield instantly turned into an abyss, nine layers of gray lightning pierced the sky and intertwined, and a hundred phantom spider shadows attacked Qin Yu's sea of consciousness, each Soul Arts precisely hitting the logical chain of Qin Yu's existence.
But Qin Yu did not panic. Instead, he whispered four words:
"[Initial Fate - Writing-Opening Seal]."
Boom!!!
In an instant, the chain of skill among the six people was broken!
Soul connection - severed!
Construction Technique Writing -- Break!
All the skill logic they were preparing to use to strike Qin Yu was forcibly reset to its "initial state" at the moment the destiny trajectory was written!
In the void, a strange page of the Golden Radiance Soul Book faintly appeared. As the pages turned, the skills of the six people were pulled back to the initial thought stage by a "source tracing power"!
That was a logical overriding act that bordered on humiliation.
It was as if all their efforts just now were merely --
A draft that "never existed".
--
"What kind of ability is this?!"
"My construct was... rewritten?!"
"No, impossible! How could such a thing be directly denied by reverting to the technical track--"
Just as one of the men in black was about to roar, he felt a violent tremor in his soul.
Several versions of the "skills he wrote" simultaneously appeared in his mind—all of which were "denied as illegal structures" by Qin Yu's page of the Golden Radiance Soul Book and torn apart.
[Initial Fate - Writing-Opening Seal] -- is the strongest "state restart logic" in [Fate Cause Master Seal].
Before the enemy's technical logic forms a closed loop, Qin Yu can forcibly reset its thinking, technical concepts, logical chains, construction processes, and soul consciousness processes to the "unwritten stage."
Even if you constitute the Book of the World, as long as He does not acknowledge it, you can only be a blank draft.
At this moment, the six assassins fully realized:
They were not facing a fighter.
Rather, he is a logical master who holds the book.
The six beams of soul light roared and shook the heavens, but before Qin Yu's [Initial Fate - Writing-Opening Seal], they all turned into illusory drafts, their logic scattered, their soul consciousness torn apart, and their skill chains broken. The six were furious but could no longer coordinate in time. Just as they were about to form a killing formation again, Qin Yu stepped forward and pointed his finger.
Whispers are like the sound of heaven splitting apart.
"[Silent Origin - Eternally Sever the Heavenly Balance]."
Boom--!!
The celestial balance is shattered, and the technical system collapses!
In an instant, an annihilating force emanating from a deeper logical foundation erupted from beneath Qin Yu's feet, forming a continuously rotating vortex of annihilation. This vortex didn't devour the enemy itself, but rather precisely targeted—the "balancing support chain" within each of the six individuals' skill systems.
This is a skill that shatters the synergy of life chains. Once it hits, it will completely dismantle the stable logic of the enemy's skill chains in battle!
The six Primordial Void Supreme Assassins, whose skills all consisted of multi-layered complex attacks or instantaneous combos, were now horrified to discover—
The Nightmare Tablet is unbalanced, and the locking logic is inaccurate;
The petals of the Burning Era petals scattered, unable to reassemble;
Several skill runes cracked in the Mirror of Returning Slash;
The Shadow-Binding Spider Chains dissipated, making it impossible to lock onto consciousness;
The Soul-Destroying Bell tolled intermittently, like a broken bell;
The melody of the ethereal music is out of tune, causing it to backfire and harm itself!
"What happened? My skill... disconnected?!"
"No, he... shattered our entire collaborative system!"
"He's not breaking our attack! He's destroying our structural balance theory! How... how is this possible..."
Qin Yu, however, remained indifferent, surveying the battlefield as if everything was under his control.
"Every move you make, every technique you execute, relies on the power of coordination, rhythm, cycle, and balance. And now—"
He solidified the life seal in his palm again, and the life chain patterns burned the void.
"What I severed was the very foundation upon which your concept of combat itself is based."
Boom--!
Circles of pitch-black ripples spread out from Qin Yu's body, and the six-person skill patterns collapsed and peeled off in space, like an unfinished palace collapsing in an instant.
At this moment, the six Supreme experts felt for the first time:
The enemy they face can not only erase the attacks you "write," but also destroy your entire "writing logic" itself.
This is not a difference in tactics, but a difference in perspective.
"He's not a fighter..." an assassin whispered, trembling, "He's... the terminator beyond mere technique..."
