Fate Seal and Azure Ring · Breaking the Prison to Save the Origin
Qin Yu stared at the ancient book, which seemed to be forged from molten metal and black iron. Its crimson core pulsated gently, radiating a pulse that seemed to rewrite the world. He slowly raised his hand, his fingertips still inches from the book, yet he already felt a bone-chilling heat and a sense of oppression. It was a kind of suppression that seemed to invalidate his framework, as if touching it would redefine his own existence.
Azure Ring's voice rang out in her mind, carrying an unusual solemnity and coldness:
"Qin Yu, do not be afraid. This is a test from the 'Origin Truth Framework Scripture.' If you touch it with a mortal heart, it will erase you as an 'illegal component.' But if you respond with the essence of the Origin, and write it as the 'Fate Constructor,' it will submit to you."
Qin Yu's gaze darkened, and he slowly pressed his palm against the crimson flame pattern on the book cover. In an instant—
Boom!
The entire space seemed to ignite with the heartbeat of the ancient book; the void suddenly distorted, and crimson runes surged like a tidal wave of fire, completely engulfing him. Qin Yu's vision went black, followed by an illusion of countless pages turning:
Each page is a complete universe.
With each turn of the page, a galaxy is born; with the next turn, billions of beings and countless worlds vanish into nothingness.
Every narrative, every line of logic, every historical event is merely a fleeting fragment in the book, instantly rendered invalid with the "cutting of the book."
Azure Ring stood beside him, her gaze icy, pointing towards the void:
"Look, this is the initial form of the techniques in the * Origin Truth Framework Scripture *—[Framework Judgment Book]."
Following her guidance, Qin Yu saw the void ahead coalesce into a giant burning book, its runes shimmering like a sea of stars. The next instant, the illusory "Book of Decree" slowly opened, and billions of characters transformed into chains of flame, binding a narrative framework that was attempting to be reborn.
A deafening roar followed.
The narrative, before it could take shape, collapsed entirely as the pages of the flaming book were turned, as if it had never existed. Even its creator was covered by a crimson rune and forcibly returned to nothingness, without any room for resistance.
The visuals are like a Hollywood -level visual feast:
As the pages are turned, stars turn to ashes, the sky shatters, and countless fragments of the universe fall like a rain of fire, only to be judged by invisible ink and paper, turning to ashes and scattering with the wind.
Azure Ring's voice was clear and powerful:
"This is the Framework Judgment Book —as long as it exists, any illegally created rules, universes, or narratives will turn to dust with the turning of the pages. Qin Yu, you have been recognized; you can mobilize this power."
At this moment, Qin Yu slowly withdrew his hand, a crimson flame flickering deep within his eyes. He murmured softly:
"The Origin Truth Framework Scripture... Volume Five, I have obtained it."
As Qin Yu withdrew his palm, the * Origin Truth Framework Scripture * slowly closed, its crimson pages still flickering in the air like burning ashes dancing beneath the starry sky. But at that moment, a sudden tremor ran through the depths of his consciousness, as an ancient scroll, long dormant, resonated with it—
That was the first volume, "The Beginningless Origin Record".
In an instant, two phantom images of ancient scrolls appeared in his mind's sea: one was as black as an abyss, emitting the eerie light of "Origin Cycle"; the other was ablaze with crimson flames, burning with the judgment fire patterns of "Framework Judgment Book". The two were originally unrelated, but at this moment they resonated with each other, like two completely opposite extreme forces, forcibly twisted into the same cycle.
Boom--
The world around Qin Yu suddenly became unbalanced. Deep within the void, an indescribable scene appeared:
The mirrored cycle of "The Beginningless Origin Record" unfolds in the air, with countless fragments of the universe arising and dying on their own. The origin is traced back, but it is trapped in endless reincarnation, like a broken lens refracting infinitely, forming billions of illusions.
At the same time, the flames of the "Origin Truth Framework Scripture" fell from the sky, and with each turn of the page, those illusory frameworks were directly reduced to dust.
The interplay of mirrors and flames resembled a cosmic collision.
One renders all definitions endless, plunging them into Beginningless; the other renders all frameworks ineffective, instantly annihilating them.
Within Qin Yu's sea of consciousness, the two briefly overlapped, releasing a terrifying "synergy of true scripture fragments."
The void was torn open, and an enormous illusory book appeared. The upper half of the book's pages contained endless mirror images, reflecting countless worlds of birth and death, while the other half burned with crimson flames of judgment, severing those mirror images and reducing them to nothingness.
An unbearable phenomenon erupted between heaven and earth:
The stars suddenly reversed, and mountains and rivers were instantly created and destroyed; billions of chains of rules broke, were rewritten by mirror images, and were once again annihilated by the flames. The entire secret realm was like being dragged into a double purgatory of "cycle and judgment," and time and space condensed into a destructive resonance field around Qin Yu.
Azure Ring's figure flickered in the void, her eyes revealing a genuine mix of excitement and solemnity for the first time:
"Qin Yu... you have mastered the linkage of two volumes. 'Origin Cycle' and 'Framework Judgment Book' —one traps the enemy in an endless cycle, while the other annihilates them before the cycle ends. Although it was only a momentary resonance, it already possesses the rudiments of a 'fragment of the true scripture.'"
Qin Yu's gaze was deep as he felt the power within him that was almost tearing him apart. His voice was low and firm:
"The first volume, 'The Beginningless Origin Record,' and the fifth volume, 'The Origin Truth Framework Scripture,' have already entered my body."
"Eleven volumes are still missing. When all thirteen volumes are gathered, it will be the complete 'Beginningless Silent Origin True Scripture'."
As soon as he finished speaking, the resonance within Qin Yu's body subsided abruptly, and the illusory images of the two ancient scriptures slowly faded away, but the imprint left in his Soul Sea was indelible.
The air in the entire secret realm seemed to tremble as the power was briefly unbalanced.
Qin Yu gradually subsided his aura, suppressing the aftershocks of the * Origin Truth Framework Scripture * and the * Beginningless Origin Record * deep into his sea of consciousness to prevent the terrifying interconnected phenomenon from leaking out again and attracting unwanted attention. Azure Ring also slowly dimmed her radiance, her voice clear and solemn:
"Qin Yu, you must be cautious from now on. The power you possess has begun to show its edge, but there is still a long way to go before you can truly master the 'Beginningless Silent Origin True Scripture.' And now, what is even more urgent is the situation of your disciples and elders in the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall."
Qin Yu's eyes sharpened, and a faint resonance emanated from the Azure Evolution Core his brows. He could vaguely sense that in the deeper part of the Desolate Annihilation Secret Realm, there were still faint traces of his fellow disciples' auras and cries for help, but those auras were so weak that they were almost swallowed up.
He took a deep breath, stepped forward, and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the deeper layers of the secret realm.
As they ventured deeper, the Desolate Annihilation Secret Realm became increasingly eerie.
The surrounding earth seemed to be repeatedly torn apart and pieced back together by time. Mountains rose up in an instant, only to crumble into dust the next, as if they were being constantly written and deleted by some invisible rule. In the sky, strange symbols flashed through floating cracks. These symbols sometimes resembled ancient contracts, and sometimes unfinished propositions, emanating a chilling aura that tore at the Soul Rend.
A strange, lingering scent of loneliness permeated the air, as if each breath would strip away a part of one's sense of existence.
Qin Yu's figure darted between collapse and reconstruction, his divine sense spreading out to carefully investigate. Finally, at the end of a shattered landscape, he detected a few extremely weak fluctuations. It was the lingering aura of survival released by the unique Purple-Gold Eternal Pole Crystal Core of the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall.
Qin Yu's eyes turned cold, and he muttered to himself:
"Finally found them... They must still be alive."
As he drew closer, the atmosphere in that area grew increasingly oppressive, as if some extremely dangerous entity was lurking, waiting for any life that dared to approach.
As Qin Yu drew closer, the aura deep within that Desolate Annihilation Secret Realm was finally fully revealed.
Before me lay a desolate wasteland, utterly annihilated. Mountains and rivers had collapsed, the earth's veins severed, and the land seemed to have been rewritten and deleted countless times, presenting an unreal, distorted state: mountain peaks hung upside down, rivers flowed upstream, and the sky shattered, flowing out strands of eerie green "causal blood" that dripped into the void below.
In the center of this eerie place, a cage woven from pure conceptual chains and annihilation runes floats suspended in the air.
The chains, like countless shadows and lights, sometimes appearing as words, sometimes as unfinished narrative symbols, intertwine continuously, completely sealing off the creatures within the cage. The rune array flickers with black and red annihilation patterns, each rotation erasing a portion of the space within the cage, as if trying to make the trapped beings disappear from existence entirely.
Inside the cage, a dozen disciples of the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall and three elders sat cross-legged. Their bodies were covered in cracks, their breaths were so weak they were almost extinguished, their clothes were torn, and their blood stained the Purple-Gold Crystal Core. Their eyes were half-closed, and only a faint thread of life remained.
One of the elders had veins bulging on his forehead and his eyes were dim, yet he still gritted his teeth and maintained the protective barrier, barely managing to shield his disciples from the annihilation rune array. But Qin Yu could tell at a glance that this elder's soul consciousness had been severely weakened, and it would definitely collapse completely in another incense stick's time.
But what's even more terrifying is --
Three terrifying creatures stood guard outside the cage.
Their forms resembled ancient tomb guardian statues, yet they were formed from annihilation and void, their faces blurred, their bodies covered in cracked bone armor. Their aura was incomparably powerful, clearly having reached the Annihilation Dawn Realm · Supreme. They silently guarded the cage, and with each breath, the surrounding void collapsed and reshaped, causing the heavens and earth to emit a muffled roar.
Azure Ring suddenly spoke in Qin Yu's sea of consciousness, her voice unusually solemn:
"These are the Soul-Annihilating Prison Wardens... They were originally the oldest guardian Spirit Clan of the Desolate Annihilation Secret Realm, specifically used to suppress things that 'should not exist.' They wouldn't appear here unless driven by a powerful being."
Qin Yu's eyes sharpened, and the Azure Ring between his brows quietly lit up.
He slowly raised his head to look at the cage, his heart filled with murderous intent.
"So you... were here."
Deep within the void, Qin Yu finally found the missing disciples and elders of the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall. They were all trapped within a terrifying cage-like array. The cage was semi-transparent, seemingly woven from countless black rune chains, each chain carrying an aura of annihilation. The runes churned like flowing fire, radiating an extremely cold light, like billions of dead stars burning simultaneously, freezing the soul at a glance.
The prisoners were all deathly pale, their consciousness heavily sealed, unable even to send out a cry for help, their eyes filled with helplessness and despair.
Qin Yu's expression was solemn. As he raised his hand, the radiance of the "Fate Cause Master Seal" in his palm instantly bloomed. In the depths of the void, chains of fate appeared, crisscrossing like a net of destiny, tightly binding the cage.
"Fate Cause Master Seal Cause-Determining Silent Judgment!"
Qin Yu shouted, and the light of the seal surged, transforming into a giant, pitch-black, and chilling seal that fell from the sky and slammed down on the cage. In an instant, the causal chains on the cage began to tremble violently, as if their foundation had been forcibly severed. All the flowing runes stopped abruptly, as if they had suddenly lost the driving force of time and froze in an instant.
However, the cage remained intact, the black mist surging back, attempting to repair itself once more. A cold glint flashed in Qin Yu's eyes, and the Azure Ring in his sea of consciousness suddenly lit up. A clear azure light shot up from between his brows, transforming into a vast outline that enveloped the entire cage.
"Realm Abyss Reverse Evolution!"
The voice of the Azure Ring resounded through the void.
All the runes in the cage began to reverse rapidly, as if time had been reversed, and they were forced to return to the beginning. The lines representing "chains" broke and collapsed continuously in the reverse flow, and finally, with a roar, the cage's origin was completely destroyed and returned to the initial nothingness.
Boom--!
The entire rune array collapsed in an instant, and billions of azure rays intertwined with the black light of the life seal, pouring down like a bursting galaxy, protecting the trapped disciples and elders of the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall one by one.
At that moment, everyone felt the heavy seal in their sea of consciousness instantly break, as if their dead souls were being reawakened. One by one, they opened their eyes, filled with shock and disbelief.
They stared at Qin Yu, whose aura surged powerfully in the void, their minds unable to calm down for a long time. That scene—the simultaneous release of the Life Seal Judgment and the Azure Ring Reverse Derivation —was like the sky being reconstructed, and the entire void of the Desolate Annihilation Secret Realm trembled at this strike.
