Chaos Desolate Prison · Annihilation of Rules (I)

Boom--!

The instant the teleportation rift exploded, Qin Yu and Yan Yue were swallowed by an inexplicable chaotic tide, as if they had fallen into an abyss of annihilation with no bottom in sight.

Before me lay a shattered and distorted world.

The sky Does Not Exist, the ground is unformed, and all things seem to be products of being torn apart and reassembled by rules. Space is constantly flipping, and time is intertwined in a rapid reversal and advancement. Gravity is sometimes immense and sometimes ineffective, and all perceptual logic is gradually failing.

Within this chaotic abyss, countless "desolate giant pillars" flowing with dark lightning patterns emerged from the ground, piercing through the entire domain like the blood vessels of heaven and earth. Each pillar was engraved with annihilation characters: "Annihilation·Prologue·Cause·Collapse". Once touched, the very source of existence would be instantly drained.

The moment Qin Yu landed, his right arm instantly turned to ashes. He forcefully activated the power of the Source Ring and let out a low shout:

"Silent Origin - Wheel-Breaking Seal!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Annihilation Ring exploded, and the Silent Seal spun like a falling meteor, shattering an oncoming "Sequence Flow Chains," but also causing a violent tremor throughout the entire Chaos Desolate Prison. Countless "fragments of rules" flew through the air like shards of glass, turning into ghostly blue flames that pierced into Qin Yu's sea of consciousness.

"Damn it... the rules here... will devour the source."

Qin Yu frowned, his Source Ring forced into its Limit defensive state.

Yan Yue descended softly, her Fate Soul force transforming into gentle light that circled around Qin Yu. The Brush of Pen of Fate in her hand manifested as azure-gold tips, lightly touching the void:

"The Light Mirror Evolves the Abyss!"

Instantly, a circular mirror of destiny appeared around the two, instantly deflecting all the shockwaves of the desolate currents. A radiant ripple was reflected on the mirror, and the "Time Distortion Domain" and "Spatial Rending Domain" were continuously annihilated outside the mirror and then ejected by the mirror.

Yan Yue spoke with focused concentration, "Yu, every change in the rules here starts from those 'fractured nodes.' I must seal them off to create room for maneuver—protect me!"

Before the words were even finished, the ground suddenly transformed into a sea of molten lava and lightning. Qin Yu's feet instantly collapsed, and a humanoid puppet formed from the convergence of desolate currents emerged from the void, its eye sockets burning with eerie blue flames, and suddenly unleashed:

"Destiny Consciousness - Source-Seizing Finger!"

"Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword - Sever the Cause, Preventing Birth!"

As Qin Yu roared, the Black Annihilation Divine Sword shot out, slashing directly at the puppet's hand gestures. In an instant, the causal structure collapsed, and the puppet was severed in one blow. Its body disintegrated piece by piece as if its logic had gone out of control, turning into dust!

But just as he caught his breath, the "Virtual Source Chains" reappeared in the air, four chains coming from all directions and simultaneously locking onto Qin Yu's Source Ring!

"Fate Cause Master Seal - Seal Derivation: Mirror Returning Ring!"

In an instant, a mirror ring pattern exploded out, knocking the four chains apart in mid-air and back into the void, while a chain of lightning streaks pierced through the entire area!

"Qin Yu! Stable point detected to the right rear! I'm going to seal it off!"

Yan Yue's figure transformed into a wisp of Fate Soul and burst forth, five rings appearing around her—

"The Silent Fire Samsara!"

"Annihilation Seal Soul Realm!"

"Light Covers Ten Abysses!"

"Law Alters the Eternal Epoch!"

"Destiny's Beginning: The Dawn Wheel Zero Book: Divine Deletion of Annihilation Cause!"

The rules of the entire Chaos Desolate Prison were as if erased word by word by her pen, and new logical laws were forcibly written. A huge ten-ring divine array emerged at the stable point, gradually and forcibly rebuilding the anchor points of space and time!

At this moment, Yan Yue's long hair flew in the wind, and the illusory Dawn Wheel unfolded behind her, like a divine decree, suppressing the chaotic torrent of half of the desolate prison!

"Success! I've sealed off the first stable node!"

At the same time, the ground suddenly cracked open, and a huge puppet army formed from the "Chaos Desolate Current" soared into the sky. They had the shapes of Qin Yu's past battle afterimages and numbered in the thousands.

"Good timing."

A flash of blue light appeared in Qin Yu's eyes, and Azure Ring appeared in his sea of consciousness:

"Azure Ring: Silent Origin Wheel Prison."

The Azure Ring suddenly unfolded, instantly transforming the surroundings into Silent Origin infernal arena. All the puppets slowed their movements and their consciousness cores disintegrated within the Azure Ring's light. Then, he swept his sword horizontally:

"Sever the Epoch Without a Trace!"

With a single sword strike, the record was shattered, and a hundred puppets were simultaneously erased from the "battle log," turning into nothingness and ashes.

Yan Yue: "The second stable point has been locked! I'll continue advancing!"

Qin Yu shouted, "Alright! I'll cover the rear!"

The two stood back to back once more, the Dawn Wheel and the Soul Annihilation shining together, the Life Seal and the Azure Ring intertwined, and the battlefield gradually presented the dual edge of "stability and collapse".

In the farthest depths of this battlefield, a pair of cold, empty eyes are watching them through the abyss of the Void Source Divine Hall.

"... The Pen of Fate and the master of destiny... have finally stepped into my script..."

Boom--!

Before the first and second anchor points, which had just stabilized, had fully solidified, the entire canopy of the "Chaos Desolate Prison" suddenly cracked open, and a black storm, like a collapsing galaxy, swept across the entire battle zone, named: "Chaos Desolate Current - Hostility Reconstruction".

In the void, an altar seemingly composed of fragments of rules and remnants of thought appeared. From the altar, three Void Source puppets reconstructed from "Qin Yu's old enemy thoughts" were born:

1. Mirror Abyss · Yu · Alienated Version

2. Yan Yue - Shadow Form (Past Illusions)

3. Qin Yu - Uncontrolled Clone

The three attacked Qin Yu and Yan Yue together, each strike carrying the oppressive force of the abyss of memories and the tearing apart of rules.

With a wave of his hand, the Mirror Abyss · Yu · Alienated Version cleaved space and Sever the Fate Trajectory:

"Severing Light Illusory Edge!"

The entire desolate prison shattered like a mirror, countless mirror blades blooming before Qin Yu. He roared:

"Silent Origin - Boundless Ashes!"

The Annihilation Wheel erupted in flames, transforming into the Boundless Realm karmic fire that devoured all the illusory mirror blades that had been slashed down. Just as Mirror Abyss ·Yu Canying was about to counterattack, Qin Yu's left palm had already shot out:

"Fate Ring: Rank- Linked-Stage Judgment!"

Chains of cause and effect erupted from his palm, instantly pressing Mirror Abyss Yu into the "Wheel of Destiny Tracing" and sending him directly back to the source of the rules!

At that moment, "Yan Yue - Shadow Form" appeared before Yan Yue, whispering coldly:

You can't save him... You'll lose everything in the end.

Yan Yue startled; it was a memory that had brought her to tears in her dreams.

She gritted her teeth and forced herself to stay calm:

"The Endless Dawn Radiance!"

In an instant, countless rays of light, like wings, unfurled from behind her, enveloping her entire "illusionary body".

"The Light Abyss Return to the Beginning: Silent Book: Chapter Zero!"

The Fate Soul -Binding Pen spun from her fingertips, its tip pointing directly at the phantom's forehead—as the pages turned, the despair in that memory was instantly erased, and the phantom shattered into stardust!

But on the other side, the most troublesome enemy finally made its move:

"Qin Yu - Uncontrolled Clone!"

He completely replicated Qin Yu, the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword, the Fate Cause Master Seal, and the Silent Ring Return Diagram—the three major systems—and with a single swing of his sword:

"Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword - Sever Fate, Cut Off Return!"

This was a strike powerful enough to annihilate the very essence of existence; even Qin Yu himself dared not take it head-on!

He hissed, "Recognition Annihilation Silent Abyss!"

Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!!

His consciousness surged back into flame, forcibly activating his own soul's protective barrier, causing the chains of consciousness to annihilate and erasing the enemy's fate from the "observation layer." Immediately afterward, he instantly spun around, Annihilation Dawn Wheel Ring appeared:

"Annihilation Seal Soul Realm!"

The Annihilation Dawn Mark emerged in a ring, piercing straight through the clone's core of consciousness, shattering its logical self in a single blow!

Yan Yue arrived in time, citing:

"Annihilation Fate Dawn Heaven - Silent Wheel Writes No Name!"

The intertwining of the Dawn Wheel Annihilation Brush completely devoured the clone's "initial statement." At that moment, the Void Source puppet clone was unable to activate any skill mechanisms and was erased from the void!

The entire "hostile reconstruction array" collapsed completely under the combined efforts of the two!

Yan Yue's Pen of Fate points to a shattered crystal in the distant chaotic sea:

"That's the third stable anchor point! I'll go seal it off!"

Qin Yu responded loudly, "I'll suppress the core of the Desolate Flow!"

At this moment, his sea of consciousness surged with light, and the spiritual pressure within his body vibrated!

"The No Consciousness Realm - Beginner Level"

Suddenly, the entire Chaos Desolate Prison around him ceased to be filled with wind and thunder. Qin Yu's figure transformed into an annihilation god, the Five Souls Diagram slowly unfolding behind him, the Annihilation Wheel spinning, the Fate Ring shattering, and the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword rising above his head, causing the entire layer of rules to collapse!

All the puppets vanished into thin air with his cry, "Annihilation Principle Observation Lock - Script-Sealing Severance Realm!"

At the same time, Yan Yue completed the stabilization of the rule core deep within the third anchor point, and all spatial reconstruction nodes converged into a huge vortex.

"The third anchor point has been successfully sealed. Begin the Realm Splitting to the next area!" she announced softly.

Qin Yu's eyes were clear and bright, Yan Yue Dawn Wheel floated. The two stood in the chaotic and collapsing wasteland, with the stable glow of the three major rule nodes behind them, and in front of them was a deep passage that cracked down to the next realm.

Qin Yu and Yan Yue stood on a floating platform of rubble, surrounded by constantly collapsing and reconstructing layers of space. Gravity, time, and matter were in disarray, reorganizing, and annihilating in every breath. Below them was the endless "Desolate Sea of Rift," churning with chaotic energy interwoven with scarlet and dark gray. Each wave released a terrifying roar that twisted the rules of the universe.

The sky suddenly reversed, and thousands of inverted black suns fell from the heavens, each carrying a flame that devoured time. Qin Yu focused his gaze, and the Source Ring behind him manifested a diagram of annihilation melody, with soul patterns swirling around it like ink dragons, as he fully activated his skills:

Silent Origin - Boundless Ashes!

Suddenly, a colorless Annihilation Abyss unfolded before Qin Yu, and all spatial rifts froze instantly for five breaths before him. The "black suns" that were falling toward them shattered into ashes in mid-air and were swallowed up by the Boundless Realm annihilation.

At this moment, Yan Yue also closed her eyes to sense the life source meridians. Her figure transformed into a stream of life flames that cut through the desolate flow. She suddenly pointed the Pen of Fate in her hand at the void beneath her feet!

Law Alters the Eternal Epoch!

The divine runes grew like vines, taking root in the depths of space and forming a "stable node," instantly solidifying a domain that intertwined reality and illusion. The two found their footing firmly once more, gaining a brief respite.

"The rules here are too abnormal..." Yan Yue's forehead was covered in a fine sweat. "The Chaos Desolate Current is unpredictable to begin with, but it actually responds to the pull of the Fate Brush... as if it's intentionally avoiding it."

Qin Yu frowned. "You mean... this thing isn't completely unconscious?"

"It's very likely a projection of the will of the Void Source Divine Hall..." Yan Yue was about to finish speaking when the void trembled!

A vast expanse of desolate energy suddenly surged, and a black-armored puppet as tall as an iron tower stepped out from the raging torrent of annihilation fire! Above its head floated the words "Void Source Number 373," its right arm was a "Time Collapse Cannon," and its left arm was inscribed with the "Logic Reverse Ignition Array."

"Target identification complete. Qin Yu, the Fate Reverser, eliminate!"

Qin Yu snorted coldly, drew the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword, and the soul flames on the sword blazed, while the black annihilation surged like a whale tide.

The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword - Sever the Epoch Without a Trace!

With a single slash, the puppet's "recording cause and effect" soul core logic was directly severed, causing it to retreat several steps. However, in the next instant, the reverse-burning array on its body suddenly lit up, reorganizing its logical structure.

Yan Yue cold. "Get rid of him!"

Annihilation Dawn Wheel Ring - Severed Dawn Thousand Senses!

Behind her, the illusory wheel radiated countless rays of light, and as it spun, it unleashed a wave of annihilation against the soul. The puppet was weakened once more by its life force, and its behavior became chaotic—its left arm exploded, and data reconstruction failed!

Before the two could catch their breath, four more puppet legions of different forms emerged from the "Remnant Domain of Rules." Some possessed "Space Devouring Claws," while others carried "Reversal Fate Soul Locks," all attempting to sever the traces of the two's existence.

"We can't let ourselves get entangled any longer!" Yan Yue whispered, "I'll continue searching for the next stable node. Yu, you hold me off for five breaths."

Qin Yu nodded, Source Ring expanded rapidly, the light of his soul merging with the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword. He softly uttered:

Fate Cause Master Seal, and by the lock and the mirror of bondage!

Countless "Fate-Cause Mirrors" cracked open in the space, binding the four puppets to the "Anti-Logic Component Layer," rendering their attacks ineffective in an instant, and trapping them in the fate chain logic they themselves had constructed.

Five breaths later, Yan Yue completed the reconstruction of her destiny line:

Dawn Burns the Fate Manuscript!

A page of Dawnfire flew from her hand, instantly writing "Domain Stable - 7 seconds" in mid-air. The chaotic, Chaos Desolate Current suddenly went out of control in the fan-shaped area where the page unfolded, collapsing and returning to silence.

Divine runes converged on the ring-shaped map behind Qin Yu, and he uttered a soft shout, "Prepare for a counterattack!"
