Fate's Sealed Volume · Blood Radiance True Book

The grey palace doors slowly closed behind Qin Yu, the heavy rumble seeming to shut out the entire world. In an instant, all the light around him dimmed, even the sound of breathing was swallowed up, and he stood alone in an endless grey void.

The ground wasn't made of stone slabs, but rather countless shattered pages, like remnants of history and fate, emitting a low sigh when stepped on. The pages were stained with ink, but the contents were illegible; they sometimes burned and sometimes froze under Qin Yu's footsteps, as if responding to his presence.

Just then, a vast scroll slowly emerged from the void. The scroll had no boundaries, seemingly written on endless starry skies and inscribed with the laws of cause and effect. As it slowly unfurled, each page carried fragments of Qin Yu's life:

The solitary figure of his youth, stubbornly wielding a glimmer of light to contend with heaven and earth; the isolated silhouette amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood on the battlefield; and even the gradual journey to where he is today, each destiny-shattering transformation of the awakening of the Annihilation Origin, the Logic Realm, and the Ring Seal.

With each page turned, the void trembled, as if the entire "Bookless Hall" existed solely to force him to confront himself.

The scroll was not static; it changed constantly, like a living thing, as if asking:

"Are you willing to accept your destiny of being written about?"

"Are you willing to admit that all of this is just a predetermined narrative?"

Qin Yu's pupils suddenly darkened. He felt an unprecedented pressure surging from the scroll, trying to define his existence as "a chapter that has already been written," from which he could neither break free nor rewrite.

Space distorted violently, and he even saw afterimages of the future: his own death in battle, the annihilation of his comrades, and the eternal fall of the Ring Seal into the Black Abyss... Those images flashed like fragments in the scroll, as if forcing him to admit that his end already existed, but he had not yet arrived at it.

However, deep within Qin Yu's sea of consciousness, the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword trembled slightly, and the Azure Ring emitted a faint light for a moment, as if silently watching over and protecting him, but without uttering a sound. At this moment, the trial could only be borne by Qin Yu alone.

The deep, resonant voice of the void rose again, like a narrator delivering a verdict:

"The decree has been written, the narrative has been determined. All that carries the book is powerless to defy it."

There was no other person in the hall, no Hong Xiuxiang, and no other disciples. Only Qin Yu stood alone, facing the judgment of the Book of Fate.

His true "narrative trial" began from this point.

The gray, Bookless Hall suddenly trembled, and the boundless giant book in the void abruptly unfurled, the rumbling sound of its pages turning like the collapse of billions of galaxies. Each page was a fragment of Qin Yu's destiny; as the scroll turned, scenes of future destruction, the death of companions, and the collapse of the ring seal were projected into the void, cold and absolute.

"The fate has been written, the narrative is set." The deep pronouncement shattered the void, as if countless destinies were simultaneously striking Qin Yu's mind.

Qin Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and deep within his consciousness, the Book of Fate Law slowly emerged. He raised his right hand, and the Realm Severing Origin Brush manifested with a bang! The brush body was like the condensation of the rules of billions of worlds, and the tip of the brush flashed with a dazzling white-gold light, as if it was about to cleave a new era in the dark void.

"If the fate has already been written—then I will rewrite it!" Qin Yu's voice was low yet thunderous, echoing throughout the palace.

Boom!!!

With a flick of the tip of the Brush of Realm Severing Origin Brush, the void was instantly illuminated. The dazzling light of writing transformed into a ten-thousand-foot-long river of light, cascading down like a waterfall and spanning the heavens and earth. Within the light, countless stars, destinies, and chains of cause and effect emerged, rearranging themselves under Qin Yu's brushstrokes, as if a completely new world was being reconstructed.

The scroll suddenly trembled! Countless black characters burned like flames, bursting out from the pages of the Book of Destiny and colliding head-on with Qin Yu's River of Light.

Rumble--!

The galaxy was torn apart, the chain of cause and effect broke one by one, and the gray scroll released a vast "narrative backlash". Countless dark lights surged like a tsunami, transforming into a huge "page storm", each black fragment of which carried destructive power, and would completely erase existence from the narrative if it hit!

Qin Yu's long hair danced in the wind, his gaze sharp as a sword. With his left hand, he pressed down on the Book of Fate Law, while with his right hand, he manipulated the Realm Severing Origin Brush, forcefully tearing a slit in the raging black torrent. The light from the tip of the brush drew a diagonal arc, as if a divine brush had pierced the heavens, and wherever the brushstrokes were, the void was repainted with light!

"Buzz--!"

The entire void suddenly lit up. It was the mark of "fate reversed" drawn by the brushstrokes, like a chasm of light stretching across the sky, temporarily suspending the oppressive force of the book.

However, the scroll did not retreat. It let out a low roar, and countless narrative afterimages reappeared from the void, transforming into thousands upon thousands of versions of himself— Qin Yu's death, failure, and annihilation, constantly piling up and rushing towards him, intending to completely overwhelm him with the suppression of "infinite possibilities".

The enormous roar was like the end of the world, and the entire Bookless Hall trembled as if collapsing.

The first round of the trial ignited completely the moment Qin Yu wrote a reversal of events!

The Void Scroll slammed shut! In the next instant, endless black runes swirled into a violent vortex, coalescing into an irresistible annihilation storm.

"The Narrative End - The Book-Deleting Silent Curtain!"

The somber declaration was like a supreme judgment; the scroll suddenly opened, and countless symbols of destiny poured down like a black waterfall. These symbols were not simple words, but complete narrative fragments, each reenacting the scene of "Qin Yu dying here." Countless "virtual endings" engulfed Qin Yu like Sea of Form.

Boom!!!!

The colors of heaven and earth collapsed in an instant. All the light within the Bookless Hall was stripped away, leaving only blackness and absolute Space Silence. Qin Yu's figure was surrounded by countless "death narratives," as if he had been forced into an unsolvable dead end. Every chain of words was tearing at his existence, dragging him into a fictional end.

Qin Yu's eyes narrowed, a vast and silent light burning within them. A thunderous tremor shook the depths of his consciousness— the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword hummed forth, its blade seemingly sensing the essence of its opponent at that moment, its sword intent suddenly igniting!

"The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword: Sever the Main Narrative!"

Sword drawn!

As the sword swept across, the void suddenly burst into a blazing white light, like a giant crack tearing open the dark curtain. The sword intent burst forth like trillions of light swords, the black and white colors flowing on the blade intertwining to form an irreversible trajectory of destruction.

Boom boom boom!!!

All the oncoming "virtual death scenes" shattered completely the moment the sword's edge swept across. One by one, the illusions of "Qin Yu's fall" shattered like glass, the narrative chains broke, the Sea of Form was forcibly split in two, and the void once again revealed its colorful true colors.

However, the pressure from the scroll did not weaken; instead, it became even more violent! Countless shattered characters reassembled in the void, transforming into a colossal black statue. Countless pages appeared above the statue's head, and with each page turned, a new "Qin Yu's End" manifested, creating an even stronger oppressive force.

The colossus spoke in a deep voice:

"It cannot be rewritten; the narrative has ended."

The void trembled instantly, and every space in the Bookless Hall was torn apart by the pages of the book, as if the entire world was about to collapse.

Qin Yu did not retreat. The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword in his hand roared with a deafening sword cry. The sword body was intertwined with black and white light, and the sword tip pointed directly at the pitch-black giant statue.

The colossal book-like figure roared to the sky, and countless pages flew about like an endless black tide, turning the entire Bookless Hall into absolute darkness.

"Narratives come to an end, and destiny is inevitable!"

The sound reverberated through the Soul Sea, and even the void cracked at the sound of his declaration. But just as this wave of destruction was about to crash down, a cold light flashed in Qin Yu's eyes, and he suddenly raised the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword high, its blade bursting forth with billions of black and white cracks, like Annihilation waterfall piercing through time and space.

"The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword - Beginning of the Realm - The Sole Silent Name!"

Boom!!!

As the sword fell, the entire Bookless Hall trembled violently. The sword's edge seemed to cleave the Ultimate chasm between heaven and earth, and the black and white sword light transformed into an endless torrent of stars, crushing the countless fluttering pages. Each page of the drama turned to ashes in the sword light, dissipating into the long, Annihilation wind.

The colossus roared and swung down its palms, the palm lines transforming into countless chains, attempting to permanently bind Qin Yu at the end of the narrative. However, in the flash of the sword, the Fate Cause Master Seal appeared in Qin Yu's palm, and the runes exploded!

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

Countless causal runes merged with the sword's edge, transforming into an irreversible logic of destruction that forcefully shattered the chains one by one. The rune chains broke inch by inch, exploding into the endless void like a galaxy exploding.

"Silent Origin - Boundless Ashes!"

Qin Yu activated the Silent Principle Void Annihilation Scripture once more, unleashing a boundless silent flame around him that devoured the void and scorched the colossus's existence logic.

Boom--!!!

The blade of the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword and the Heaven-Burning Silent Flame intertwined, and finally, in the utter silence, the colossal body of the Book-Scroll Colossus shattered, turning into countless fragments of narrative dust that dissipated with the wind. The suffocating oppression suddenly collapsed, and the entire Bookless Hall returned to silence.

In the void, only the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword hovered in mid-air, its sword cry still echoing, as if announcing the victor's ownership.

At this moment, Qin Yu stood tall in the center of the Bookless Hall, his aura sharp and his eyes cold. His sword slowly lowered, yet it still carried the lingering power to crush all narratives.

The narrative colossus Annihilation into oblivion.

The silence of the void was broken by a deep, low hum.

As the aftershocks of Qin Yu's Annihilation of the colossal scroll statue dissipated, a scarlet light suddenly appeared deep within the void, like the radiance of magma erupting from the heart of a volcano. The light gradually condensed, transforming into a thick ancient book, which slowly floated in mid-air.

The book's cover was deep red, like ancient leather Blood Immersion, with faint, dark gold warp and weft patterns flowing across its surface. The patterns weren't carved, but rather appeared on their own, twisting as if alive, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura. The spine was thick, with black and gold metal corner protectors, each engraved with complex, almost undecipherable runes, shimmering with an eerie light that appeared and disappeared intermittently.

Most striking was a crimson gem at the very center of the book. The gem seemed not to be an inanimate object, but a living eye, its interior constantly churning with crimson flames and black mist. Occasionally, golden streaks of light would flash across it, like lightning splitting the night sky. The radiance it emitted was not merely illumination, but rather as if it ignited the space itself, casting an illusion of crimson and flames across the entire inner wall of the Bookless Hall.

The gemstone is surrounded by an intricate metal pattern. The metal is not ordinary material, but flowing "Origin Iron," as if it is breathing at all times. The pattern converges into a circular array, on which are engraved four ancient characters. "Silence, Source, Narration, Fate." With each flash, it seems to rewrite the cause and effect and logic of space.

The pages of the book were never turned, yet faint crimson and purplish-black light and smoke leaked from the gaps, as if countless burning scriptures were sealed inside. Each wisp of light and smoke that burst out of the void would transform into fragmented narrative pieces: the collapse of vast galaxies, the wailing of countless living beings, the annihilation of a realm by an emperor raising his hand... but all vanished in an instant, as if they had never happened.

Beneath the ancient book, a pale gold and scarlet mist swirled, like an altar woven from flames supporting it, making it more than just a book; it resembled a forbidden sacred object of the universe.

As it fully solidified, the light in the entire Bookless Hall suddenly dimmed, all the remaining radiance was swallowed by the book, leaving only its own blood-gold brilliance to illuminate the silent world.

"Buzz--"

The book trembled slightly, and an Ultimate, resonant hum spread through the void, like the sigh of a thousand troops, or like the origin of the universe proclaiming some unquestionable law.

In that instant, Qin Yu even felt his very existence being watched by the pages of the book, as if once it was turned, his destiny would be written directly into it, and he would be unable to resist.

This is the gift bestowed by the void, the only opportunity after the narrative Annihilation.
