Void Source Divine Hall · Heart Demon Purgatory (I)
Heaven and earth have no form; all things return to emptiness.
When Qin Yu and Yan Yue crossed the last Realm Splitting gate, they stepped into the true Ultimate place—the heart of the Void Source Divine Hall. The space they were in at this moment was no longer a "scene," but a chaotic purgatory of the conceptual layer.
In an instant, the entire world transformed into a shattered dream, with countless lights and shadows twisting and turning chaotically, as if the Milky Way had reversed and the universe had been written backwards. The ground beneath Qin Yu's feet was not soil and stone, but hollow pages composed of layers of "Chapters of Destiny." With each step, futures that had long since vanished or had not yet occurred appeared beneath his feet. Meanwhile, a ring of pitch-black fire patterns appeared around Yan Yue, symbolizing that her "trajectory of Fate Brush" was being spied upon.
Boom--
A stream of dark purple lightning swept diagonally from the void, transforming in the air into a gigantic vortex-shaped "Void Source Divine Hall's true consciousness." It had no fixed form, but was constructed from countless fragmented illusions, with terrifying images constantly flashing within it, such as "Qin Yu being buried," "Yan Yue to ashes," and "the final chapter of fate being decided."
At this moment, the voice of the temple's will resounded, seemingly echoing throughout every dimension:
"Children of Annihilation, Daughters of the Fate Book, you dare to tamper with the established order? Then start from within your own hearts and dismantle all your beliefs."
What followed was the manifestation of the first layer of inner demons—
Illusion Construction, Yan Yue, Inner Demon Trap
Boom--!
Qin Yu was suddenly blasted back by a "Source Ring tearing light". A bloody scene appeared before his eyes - Yan Yue, lying in front of him, her chest pierced, her Fate Soul about to dissipate.
"No--!" Qin Yu's eyes turned bloodshot, his soul power surged, and his Source Ring completely lost its balance.
However, the Azure Ring within his sea of consciousness trembled slightly, instantly revealing a faint "mind's scrutiny line." He saw through a clue:
The Yan Yue's death... left no "mark of her Fate Brush," indicates that she has not been truly erased.
"This is an illusion." Qin Yu murmured, but his emotions remained unstable, and his inner demons were growing stronger—the "Yan Yue" in the illusion actually spoke:
"You'll get me killed eventually, Qin Yu... You're too strong, everyone's watching you... Even if I die, I'll just be your backdrop."
"Shut up!!"
As Qin Yu roared, the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword instantly materialized in his hand, its black flames engulfing the heavens and earth, unleashing its first strike:
⸻Origin -Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword: Sever Fate, Cut Off Return
The sky was torn apart like a sea of blood. Qin Yu's figure merged with the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword to form "Life-Severing Stream of Light". A horizontal slash swept across the illusory void, forcibly severing all "concepts of future death". The false death constructed by the temple's inner demons began to disintegrate, and traces of "fate reversal" appeared in the air.
The illusion of Yan Yue was shattered into pieces, vanishing into nothingness and mist.
But in the next instant, a new illusion suddenly appeared:
Illusion Construction, Qin Yu's Betrayal, and the Trap of Inner Demons (Part Two)
Yan Yue saw was another world: Qin Yu coldly watched, ignoring her serious injuries, and then walked away with a strange woman.
She froze, her Fate Soul trembling; the woman had a face she recognized...
"He doesn't need you anymore," the illusion whispered. "He's just using you to fight against this so-called script of fate."
Yan Yue's pupils contracted, Fate Brush trembled slightly. But just as the illusion was about to fully materialize—
She suddenly knelt down, drawing a line in the air with the Pen of Fate:
Yan Yue Skill: Dawn Wheel Zero Book - Divine Deletion of Annihilation Cause
Yan Yue's pen swept across the illusory void, the "Deletion Wheel Seal" constructed by a beam of light instantly shattered. The illusory chain of cause and effect was forcibly deleted, and the illusion collapsed into meaningless code-like debris, shattering like quicksand.
A clarity dawned in her eyes. "You are not him... nor are you the doubt in my heart."
The illusion shattered, and the temple was enraged!
The temple's will roared piercingly, "You actually maintained your clarity of mind during the first illusion? Then let you experience true time-space reversal!"
The surrounding scenery abruptly shifted, and Qin Yu and Yan Yue were thrown into different "past" and "future" scenes respectively.
Qin Yu – Entering a battle where he had previously suffered a defeat;
Yan Yue -- Entering the post-apocalyptic wasteland where Qin Yu is gone and he perished alone.
The two will each face their own trial of "cognitive annihilation".
Overlooking the core of the main hall of the Void Source Divine Hall, it has now transformed into a mental space where reality and illusion intertwine. Its entire structure resembles a mirror-shattered star sea, with countless fragments of the mind and echoes of memories floating with the illusory flow, as if the entire space were a giant purgatory of consciousness.
Within this space, Qin Yu and Yan Yue were stepping into the "Illusory Consciousness Rift Hall"—the surrounding space was distorted like a water mirror, and streams of "memory light veins" intertwined in the air, seemingly constructing the deepest memories, fears, and obsessions within their hearts.
Illusion Generation Mechanism Unveiled
Suddenly, a cracking sound rang out from the depths of the entire mirror domain, and countless "mirror line cracks" exploded on the ground, immediately shattering into two phantom enemies constructed by "Void Source Heart Demon".
1. Illusion of Yan Yue (to Qin Yu)
With blood-red eyes like flames and tears streaming down her face, the "Void Yan Yue," shrouded in black mist, slowly approached, also holding a "Pen of Fate" in her hand. Her gaze was icy as she spoke, "You have ultimately betrayed destiny, Yu... You are not yourself."
2. Illusionary Qin Yu (to Yan Yue)
Clad in Annihilation causal runes, and wielding the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword, "Phantom Qin Yu" stood in mid-air, his voice cold and ruthless. "Yan Yue, your destiny is to fulfill me. If you stand in my way, you are defying fate."
Yan Yue ·Skill Release
Yan Yue, her mind trembled violently, and she was almost driven to the brink of a split by the illusion.
She instantly steadied her thoughts and released her Fate Soul Domain with both hands once more!
Skill - Recognition Annihilation Final Realm - Severed Dawn Sealing Wheel
Endless life patterns spun, and a bluish-white life wheel rose from behind her, locking the boundary between reality and illusion.
Recognition Annihilation Domain spread, the outline of the mirror image "Illusion Qin Yu" suddenly became slightly distorted, as the broken Dawn Chain peeled away the layers of truth from falsehood.
The Pen of Fate: Dawn Law Rewriting!
She raised the Pen of Fate high, inscribing a new law in the air. "Illusion vanishes, my knowledge is truth." A burst of silver light flashed, and illusory cracks rapidly covered the body of the mirrored Qin Yu, causing him to stagger.
Qin Yu - Skill Release
Qin Yu's eyes surged with emotion as he forcefully suppressed the piercing pain in his heart. Faced with "Illusion· Yan Yue's " seemingly genuine yet gentle questioning, he closed his eyes and suddenly let out a low shout!
Skill - Fate Cause Master Seal - Master Book - Cause Severing Name!
With a flash of the main seal in his hand, the Soul Diagram of Loneliness appeared in the void, revealing the source of the illusion—fragments of his memories from the day he first met Yan Yue.
He roared, "You are not her! She never spoke of indifference to me!" The Master Book's pen struck sharply, sweeping away all traces of knowledge!
The Fifth Form of the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword: Sever the Soul in Nine Silences
Nine sword shadows overlapped, flashing like a meteor shower, and slashed towards "Illusion· Yan Yue" with a roar, severing the connection between the illusion and its own destiny. The entire illusion mirror was cleaved open with a bottomless crack!
Illusion Collapse and Shock
The bodies of the two "Illusory Qin Yu" and "Illusory Yan Yue" began to twist and dissipate, turning into a cloud of blackish-purple "Heart Demon Mist" that rapidly swept outwards.
Suddenly, countless cracks appeared on the ground, the mirror of the mind image collapsed violently, and countless blue-green life-patterned star chains emerged, shattering bit by bit into the annihilation void.
Yan Yue threw herself into Qin Yu, her breath slightly rapid. "I almost... I really almost believed it all..."
Qin Yu gently stroked her temple. "If illusions were real, how could they compare to the truth in one's heart? You are the destiny I personally guarded, and no one can change it."
The two figures embraced before the intertwined star waterfall of destiny patterns in the mirror of the heart, a scene both warm and fragile—this was the first trial in the "Heart Demon Purgatory," and also proof of their deep bond.
The mental space of the Void Source Divine Hall began to collapse rapidly, and fragments of illusion surged along the cracks into a vortex. From the center, a chaotic stream of light emerged, as if countless fragments of memory, time, and future were intertwined within it.
A low, thunderous murmur echoed from the void:
"Fate resets to zero, time reverses. You will once again witness those who cannot be saved."
Illusions Descend - The Most Painful Return to Fate
Suddenly, Qin Yu and Yan Yue were each dragged into different "vortexes of memories".
They are living in their most painful, regrettable, and unchangeable past:
Qin Yu: Trapped in the "Annihilation Abyss Epoch" battle, he watched helplessly as Yan Yue was pierced through the chest by the Blade of the Wang Chi, and Azure Ring had not yet awakened, leaving him powerless to do anything.
Yan Yue: Stepping into the moment of annihilation of Fate Soul once again, she saw "Annihilation Dawn Silent Wheel" sealed and Qin Yu's soul consciousness torn apart, but she was unable to save him Fate-Cause she was trapped in the vortex of fate.
The golden fragments of the "Scroll of Fate" all surfaced in their minds:
Even if one defies fate, one's destiny will ultimately remain predetermined.
Yan Yue Skill Activation - Rewriting the Cause
Pen of Fate - Skill: Book Pages Cover the Void
Yan Yue forcibly steadied her mind, urging the Brush of Fate Soul to pierce through the illusory void. Silver destiny runes floated out, constructing a protective curtain of "destiny pages" around her.
She whispered, "You are not the past. You are a fake."
Then, unleash the Ultimate logic technique: Light Abyss Return to the Beginning - Silent Book: Chapter Zero
The runic pen inscribed, "A predetermined destiny is not the only possible ending."
The surrounding space instantly collapsed, and the illusion shattered into thousands upon thousands of cracked pages, turning to ash in the void!
Qin Yu's Skill Burst - Severing the Time Lock
The Fate-Severing Question Fate Cause Master Seal, the final order, and the end of life!
With a hand seal, he pushed across the void, and a "Destiny Wheel" rose from his palm, encircling the three layers of time rifts, locking onto the source logic of the illusion Origin Framework.
He coldly retorted, "If you are truly a memory, then you should be remembered by me, not forcibly crammed into my soul!"
Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword - Final Technique - Source Silence Severs All - Trace and Sever, Leaving No Wheel!
The black light flickered, severing the causal chain of "Yan Yue's Fall" within the illusion.
The rules of the entire arena reversed, the void suddenly collapsed, and the illusory scene turned to ash.
Illusion Backlash Collapses - Qin Yu Yan Yue Return
The two people's consciousnesses trembled violently, and they finally broke free from the illusion's shackles, returning to the core of the main hall amidst a tearing blue light.
Their breathing was disordered, their faces were pale, but their eyes grew increasingly determined.
Qin Yu said in a low voice, "Even if time and space erase you from my memory, I will find you beyond the myriad realms."
Yan Yue replied in a trembling voice, "What we experienced was not a destiny that illusions could alter."
The entire Void Source Divine Hall suddenly trembled like a heartbeat, and a blurry afterimage of the "Core of the Void Source" appeared in the center.
It was as if the struggle that had just occurred had shaken the depths of its consciousness.
The center of the Void Source Divine Hall suddenly twisted, and a colossal statue constructed from mirror fragments, logical runes, and causal sealing arrays slowly rose from its throne. Its name: Void Hall Mirror God - Adjudicator, is the Ultimate creation of the Void Source Divine Hall's will, the most concrete and judgmental manifestation of its power above illusion.
It has three heads, each representing:
• "Judgment of the Past": Revisit the enemy's most painful and fatal wounds, and forcibly construct an illusion to launch a counterattack.
• "Judgment of the Present": Reads the current thought logic and combat status, and seizes the right to activate skills.
• "Destruction of the Future": Blocks all future actions and consequences that the enemy is about to take.
The three eyes hovered and moved, and with each opening of one, a section of law collapsed!
Skill Release - Adjudicator - "Silent Judgment - Three Eras of Deletion"
First Judgment: The Silent Cause Mirror Return
A mirror-like blade shot from the void, slashing directly at Yan Yue, simulating the scene of her being devoured by the "Recognition Annihilation Silence Sealing" technique, pulling her consciousness into the "Self-Judgment Rift."
The mirror surface was like water, revealing the backlash trajectory of the "Recognition Annihilation Final Realm" skill, shattering her soul's reflection.
Second Ruling - Present Deletion and Seizure
The Mirror God stretched out his right hand and directly seized Qin Yu's skill Origin Framework chain.
The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword was forcibly dismantled, causing Qin Yu's "Source Ring Resonance" to briefly malfunction and his skill release to go out of control!
Third Trial: Future Lockdown, Silent Fate Nether Lock
The Adjudicator finally raised his head, and a gray-white life lock covering the entire area descended from the top of the temple, attempting to forcibly freeze Qin Yu and Yan Yue's next skill activation, prematurely severing the "future causality."
Yan Yue strikes – the Life-Annihilating Brush shatters the mirror.
The Life-Annihilating Brush - Skill: Dawn Wheel Zero Book - Divine Deletion of Annihilation Cause!
Yan Yue forcibly suppressed the fluctuations of her soul consciousness, and with the Pen of Fate, drew a circle in the air, constructing the "Wheel of Writing and Deletion".
A wheel of fate formed from runes flew from the tip of the pen, colliding with the Mirror God's "Future Lock". Space shattered, and the chains of time scattered into starlight, instantly reversing.
She used another trick:
Annihilation Fate Dawn Heaven, Silent Wheel Writes No Name!
"This enemy should not exist."
Yan Yue the "future damage" record from the "Mirror God's" fate track, directly skipping the "prophetic attack"!
Qin Yu's Burst of Power: Recognition Annihilation Silent Abyss + Origin Destroyer Counterattack
Recognition Annihilation Silent Abyss
Within Qin Yu's sea of consciousness, the Silent Principle Void Annihilation Scripture" automatically activated, condensing into the Annihilation Wheel Mystic Diagram and releasing the " Recognition Annihilation Realm Sealing."
The giant ship ascended into the air, directly crushing the Mirror God's head!
The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword - Ten Severing Forms Combo Technique - Three Forms Fusion Release!
1. Sever the Epoch Without a Trace (delete enemy existence records)
2. Sever Fate, Cut Off Return (preventing the Fate Soul).
3. Sever the Void in a Single Thought (Rejecting the logic skill activated by the Mirror God)
When the three forms merged, ancient inscriptions appeared on the divine sword, and annihilating flames spread from the sword's edge to the void mirror wall, completely burning away every "skill subject" constructed by the "Adjudicator"!
Mirror God is injured and collapses.
The three-headed body of the Mirror God was shattered one after another, the Judgment Domain gradually cracked, a large number of Void Source logic chains began to collapse, and the fragments of the God's Throne turned into shattered mirrors that returned to the origin of the temple.
Yan Yue and Qin Yu stood back to back in the center of the shattered mirror, their residual light dancing, their auras trembling, and their consciousness violently disordered.
Yan Yue: "This is not the end, this is just the beginning of the trial."
Qin Yu: "Don't give me that pained look. The hardest part is yet to come."
The Temple's main core experienced its first fluctuation after the Mirror God's collapse.
A "vortex of cause and effect" appeared in the central core of the entire Void Source Divine Hall. An image of an unformed "Core of the Void Source" appeared on it, as if its consciousness had regarded the two of them as the greatest threat.
