Just as the flames of the battlefield had not yet died down, and the final ripple of logic activated by Heng Yin still echoed in the void, a ethereal figure, like a feather of light, tore through the wreckage and arrived—
Liu Qing!
She was still dressed in a greyish-white soul dress, the hem and long hair fluttering like smoke in the fading light. However, this time, her expression was more solemn than ever before, and her lips uttered a hurried, suppressed whisper:
"Quickly! We must set off immediately!"
Her gaze swept past Yao Zhiyan, who was still recovering from the aftershocks of her injuries, and turned to Qin Yu, her tone heavier than before. "The Dawn Soul Book Prison - Fate-Annihilating Heaven-Sealer... has been thoroughly enraged."
"I can feel its violent will, sealed deep within its Fate Soul, awakening. It has begun to mobilize the 'old logic chains' at the bottom of the Star Abyss Forecourt —if we are even a step later, the entire forecourt will be sealed off, and at that time, even the strongest Spiritual Sense will not be able to penetrate its interface cracks!"
Her voice trembled faintly, as if the entire space was quietly shaking because of the Lord of the Dawn's emotions. Spiritual Sense flickered in all directions, and deep, resonant waves like the roar of a whale could be heard from the distant star mist, as if some being was slowly awakening from the depths of the cover...
Qin Yu frowned. "You know a shortcut?"
Liu Qing nodded without saying much. With a wave of his right hand, a tattered jade page with annihilation patterns emerged from his palm. The runes were like locks, layer upon layer, but in the center burned a wisp of soul fire from the "Fate Track Fragment".
"This is a weak passage I obtained by exchanging the last 'Reverse Abyss Seal' in my Fate Soul when I was imprisoned by it before my death. Although there is a logical blockade between the three major power points, I can use this to forcibly lead you across the logical layer and reach the Realm Splitting threshold below the [Annihilated Chapter Rending Domain]. From there, we can turn towards the final node of the Annihilated Chapter Rending Domain and bypass most of the obstruction."
Without hesitation, Qin Yu clenched his fist, sheathed the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword, and then helped the still not fully recovered Yao Zhiyan: "Let's go."
Liu Qing took a deep breath, raised his hand, and threw the Jade Page with Annihilation Pattern into the void. In an instant, the world changed dramatically.
The void ahead seemed to be "peeled" by some force, tearing open a deep crevice like a membrane being ripped apart. Within the crevice, black and gold light intertwined, like a net or an array, and in the center of the passage, soul patterns shone brightly, as if a galaxy had fallen!
Liu Qing said no more and stepped inside.
With one hand supporting Yao Zhiyan, Qin Yu turned and disappeared into the gate of ethereal light.
The moment the three stepped into the passage, the entire [Annihilated Chapter Rending Domain] began to tremble, and an ancient, majestic, and hollow whisper echoed from the distant void—
Those who oppose me will be forgotten because of their names.
The will of the Dawn Soul Book Prison - Fate-Annihilating Heaven-Sealer has been fully awakened.
Within the deep, abyss-like teleportation passage, soul flames flickered, and the very essence of the void continuously collapsed and expanded. Liu Qing led the way at the forefront, with Qin Yu carrying Yao Zhiyan closely behind. The three walked on a bridge formed by the tracks of fate, their feet resting on the "abyss" woven from the collapse of cause and effect.
This place does not belong to the surface structure of the Star Abyss Forecourt, but is a Realm Splitting threshold surface between the "logical bottom" and the "causal boundary".
There was no light from any direction, only fragments of the world floating like torn pages, spinning disorderly in the depths of the void. Broken palaces, snapped clocks, and collapsed cities of pages seemed like dream fragments carelessly torn apart and discarded by some being, drifting away like mist.
Suddenly, a faint light flashed at the end of the passage, and a strong sense of spatial rupture tore open the path ahead, revealing an enormous rift platform.
Liu Qing's expression suddenly hardened, and he stopped the two of them, whispering:
"We've arrived. This is the final boundary point set up by Xi Hun. All paths leading to Dawn Soul Book Prison Fate-Annihilating Heaven-Sealer converge here. And the true ruler of this place... has been waiting for you for a long time."
As soon as she finished speaking, black and gold flames suddenly appeared from all directions on the platform that severed the boundary, condensing in the air into a black soul shadow that was a hundred feet tall!
His head was shaped like a multifaceted broken mirror, with nine pupils rotating. Each eye displayed a scene from Qin Yu and Yao Zhiyan's past battle, as if it already knew everything. His hands held two broken soul mirrors, within which flowed countless memories of annihilated enemies and their death trajectories.
Behind him, the enormous pages of the Soul Chapter burned incessantly; with each page turned, a vision of a collapsing world flashed before his eyes, as if sealing away the logic of all unfinished enemies.
The mirror soul transforms into Judging Mirror Delusion Master.
--One of the logic guardians personally crafted by Dawn Soul Book Prison · Fate-Annihilating Heaven-Sealer, capable of reflecting the existence of enemies, recalling the Silent Shadow in the mirror, and reversing the logical control between the original body and the mirror image.
He slowly raised the broken mirror in his hand. The mirror trembled, and the figures of Qin Yu and Yao Zhiyan were clearly reflected in it.
"You... have not yet passed the review process."
His voice was like the cry of a soul in an empty shell, devoid of emotion or anger, yet it caused the entire Realm Splitting threshold to suddenly sink.
Qin Yu focused his mind, his left palm already resting on the hilt of the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword, his gaze never leaving the multifaceted, shattered mirror soul face.
Yao Zhiyan said softly, "Senior Brother Mo, this being... possesses a terrifying logic I have never seen before."
Qin Yu said calmly, "We don't need to meet too many times, once is enough."
But the next moment, the entire boundary platform suddenly trembled—
As the Judging Mirror Delusion Master raised his hand, the fragmented worlds, shattered destinies, and old causal seals floating in the void were absorbed one by one by the power of the Mirror Soul, reconstructed behind it, and finally converged into a domain resembling a "Hall of Fate Book," officially beginning its battlefield logic—
The [Mirror-Wielding Nether Judgment - Abyss of Knowledge] domain is now open!
Countless mirror images descend, creating layers of mirrored surfaces on the ground, distorting the logic of time and reversing the trajectory of fate. Here, spellcasters must undergo "Mirror Soul Consciousness Reflection"—every time a skill is cast, it must first be "recognized" in the mirror; otherwise, the skill will directly collapse and backfire!
This is the "Law of Reverse Judgment of the Consciousness Abyss" constructed by the Judging Mirror Delusion Master.
Qin Yu didn't move, and Azure Ring remained silent, only a rare solemnity appeared in his eyes:
"Are you one of the final outcomes prepared for us?"
The Judging Mirror Delusion Master slowly raised the mirror; its nine pupils merged into one, the mirror's light shattered, and the first attack began—
The mirror light suddenly appeared, like ten thousand fragments crashing down in an instant. The first wave of attack of the Mirror Soul Transformation - Judging Mirror Delusion Master descended like a boundary seal that sealed the cause and effect of the universe. The countless mirror surfaces were like fragments of time hanging upside down in the air. The light was reflected and distorted layer by layer, forming a strange abyss of refraction, which completely locked the entire threshold of the Realm Splitting.
Qin Yu's gaze was sharp as lightning, and he uttered a single word:
"Break."
[Fate Cause Master Seal - Fate-Cause - Split Consciousness Fall]
--The halo of Fate Soul appeared, and a fault line of life trajectory that runs through memory and consciousness was suddenly torn open in the void. The vast fragments of Fate-Cause collapsed from top to bottom, crashing down like a waterfall of light, and accurately smashing into the "Mirror Consciousness Initial Judgment" that was about to be fully unfolded.
Before the mirrored field could fully take shape, a gap was forcibly torn open by this attack.
Space rifts, mirror pages churn, and light frequencies vibrate wildly!
The Nine Eyes of the Judging Mirror Delusion Master trembled, and the broken mirror in his hand flashed with countless illusions, directly reflecting the causal origin of Qin Yu's skill, intending to reverse it back to the origin and annihilate it.
However, at this moment, Yao Zhiyan had already recovered from her injuries and leaped up side by side. With a flick of her slender finger, countless crystal musical notes fell from her sleeve, like flying feathers weaving through cause and effect.
[Purple Palace Sound Domain, Third Regulation - Clear Melody Descends and Evolves]
--Music penetrates the soul, dispelling the causes of Break Delusion.
Each note is a blow that shatters the mirror and penetrates the soul, breaking the "reflection point of fate" in the mirror's reflection, causing the reverse logic of the Judging Mirror Delusion Master to collapse instantly!
"Alright!" Qin Yu shouted, taking the opportunity to step into the void again, breaking through the seven layers of mirror barriers, and unleashing the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword.
[Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword - Sever the Spirit Source Abyss]
--That sword severed the source of the logic controlling the Mirror Soul. Wherever the sword light passed, the entire "Mirror-Wielding Nether Judgment" domain trembled violently, and some areas lost their mirror rules, revealing violent collapse cracks!
The Nine Eyes of the Judging Mirror Delusion Master closed again, but the burning Soul Chapter behind him suddenly rippled!
An ancient, fragmented chapter quietly unfolded, transforming into the form of "Mirror Fate Qin Yu," appearing as a shadow and wielding the same Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword, with the exact same sword style.
"He's copied your existence again!" Yao Zhiyan exclaimed in surprise.
Qin Yu sneered, "It's merely a reflection... I myself am the only one."
[Fate Cause Master Seal - Destiny's Seal - Recognizing Paradoxes]
In an instant, Qin Yu raised his brush and sketched a Fate Soul seal in the air, rewriting the existence logic of "Mirror Fate Qin Yu" as "not accepted by the main consciousness," causing it to collapse and disintegrate from its logical structure!
Bang--
Before Qin Yu could even land, he shattered into countless fragments and vanished.
At this moment, the Judging Mirror Delusion Master suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a broken chapter formed from fragments of the Soul Mirror: "All unjudged knowledge should be examined in return—Mirror Soul Burning Judgment, Twin Mirrors Locking the Abyss!"
This is its true attack: if the caster is captured by either of the mirrors, they will be permanently locked in the "Island of Consciousness" constructed by their own mirror image!
Instantly, two soul mirrors appeared before and after Qin Yu, simultaneously displaying every move and stance he had just executed in the battle, even his breathing rate was precisely recorded!
At this critical moment, Yao Zhiyan suddenly swung her sonic blade, cutting out a "silent rift" that shattered one of the Soul Mirrors from an audio logic perspective!
Qin Yu's eyes were cold and sharp, and his words were like blades:
"You have glimpsed my knowledge, so I will reverse your destiny."
[Fate Cause Master Seal, Fifth Form - Destiny Judgment - Cause and Effect Boundary]
The Book of Fate Law suddenly turned a page, and a pure white causal ring spun in Qin Yu's palm. The "final ring," carrying the logic of sealing the boundary, fell and accurately hit the Nine-Eyed Soul Mirror above the head of the Judging Mirror Delusion Master!
Boom--!!
The Soul Mirror shattered! The entire "Mirror-Wielding Nether Judgment" domain shook violently out of control, with fragmented pages scattering and collapsing, and soul energy flowing back like smoke.
The illusory figure of the delusion master twisted violently, even showing a slight tremor.
But it did not fall; instead, it whispered an ancient death curse.
The silence suddenly stretched on, as if the entire Star Abyss Forecourt had held its breath.
The shattered form of the Judging Mirror Delusion Master hovered in the air, its chest heaving like the shattering wind of a broken mirror. All nine pupils were broken, leaving only the central master pupil burning with a ghostly soul flame. In that instant—it uttered its final death curse:
"The soul is not recorded, the name is not known, and under the mirror's gaze, all beings are headless."
Those who appoint me as their master will surely destroy my soul.
--Soul Judgement, Sealed Lord, No Mirror Nameless, and Consciousnessless Curse.
This is a curse from before the Annihilation Origin, from the beginning of life consciousness. Once released, it will cast a "Main Soul Rewriting Instruction" into the target's sea of consciousness. If the person under this curse is designated as the "Mirror Consciousness Subject", then all of their Fate Soul will be forcibly rewritten and transformed into a mirror reflection!
At that moment, Yao Zhiyan's inner soul trembled instantly, and she spat out a mouthful of blood as the logic of the curse of death was directly reflected into her sea of consciousness!
She staggered backward, the rubble beneath her feet exploding, as if rejected by heaven and earth. A semi-transparent mirror gradually formed behind her, seemingly projecting her as a "secondary soul slave"!
"Zhiyan!!" Qin Yu roared!
In the next instant, the Book of Fate Law suddenly soared into the air, unfolding into floating pages in front of Qin Yu, accompanied by the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword emitting a ghostly light behind him, resonating as one!
He no longer needed to say anything; he simply raised his hand and lightly tapped the edge of the book page.
--Fate Seal· Sever Observation, Leaving No Mirror
"If you cannot observe clearly, you cannot discern the truth; if the mirror is lost, you cannot make a judgment."
The starry sky instantly reversed, and a "Sword of Severed Observation" capable of penetrating the logic of the world rose from behind Qin Yu. The sword was like a broken page of a book, with thousands of "named records" engraved on its blade.
The moment the sword was drawn, the body of the Judging Mirror Delusion Master trembled violently!
Boom!
The power of "Sever Observation, Leaving No Mirror" locks in the entire root logic of constructing mirror consciousness.
With Qin Yu's soft shout, the sword slashed down, precisely striking the broken mirror behind the Judging Mirror Delusion Master!
All I heard was --
Click!
The last page of the mirror shattered into billions of light fragments, exploding silently in mid-air before being swallowed up by the Book of Fate Law, leaving not a trace of information behind!
At the same time, the mirror soul that had fallen into Yao Zhiyan's sea of consciousness also dissipated into wisps of smoke, and the crisis was completely resolved.
The remnant soul of the Judging Mirror Delusion Master floated about, its light shattered, and he knelt on both knees.
As the pages of the Book of Fate turned with a low hum, its main soul disintegrated, its ashes drifting into the bottomless abyss of the Annihilated Chapter Rending Domain.
Just as it completely fell silent, a spatial surface twisted to the Ultimate suddenly appeared behind it, and a second Eternal Cause Crystal Activation Array!
The entire Annihilated Chapter Rending Domain trembled violently, the triple soul locks collapsed, and the countless logic runes vanished. Above the void, a gray-blue vortex appeared and disappeared.
But at that very moment, deep within the Star Abyss void in the distance—
A destructive roar shook the entire space, causing it to tremble violently!
The voice of the Azure Ring resounded in Qin Yu's sea of consciousness:
"It has moved— the Dawn Soul Book Prison: Fate-Annihilating Heaven-Sealer, its true form's will is approaching!!"
