Heavenly Cause Judgment Order · Six Severances Seal
The void seemed to freeze at that moment, and the breath of heaven and earth suddenly stopped. Qin Yu and Yunyi looked at each other for a moment, and the next moment, the ground beneath their feet cracked into a cloud of light and dust, and the entire ninth-level Waterfall Heavenly Stairway collapsed with a crash, like a dream that had been erased. In the silent Annihilation, a strange beam of light descended from the sky, like a divine oracle that spanned the ages.
That light was not mere radiance, but a cascade of countless afterimages of cause and effect and fragments of destiny. Its colors were extremely strange—purple-black life marks, golden-white threads of cause, and deep blue soul streams intertwined to form an unsolvable tapestry, each strand seemingly carrying the history of a world. It enveloped Qin Yu and Yunyi, as if stripping them from reality and casting them onto some other shore that could not be written or narrated.
The instant the radiance touched his body, Qin Yu felt a jolt in his sea of consciousness, and the Azure Ring within it trembled slightly, as if awakened by the cascade of light. Countless illusions flashed by: the birth of the Source of Epochless, the destruction of countless temples, the unknown tenth secret realm... everything flowed before his eyes like ink painting, only to vanish before he could see it clearly. Yunyi gently approached Qin Yu, her dragon eyes reflecting the light, revealing a rare tremor, as if the radiance contained an even more ancient power connected to her bloodline.
The beam of light grew increasingly intense, as if the heavens and earth were about to collapse. The two were lifted up, their figures elongated and dissolved amidst the shattered light of their destiny, until they were completely submerged in the cascade of light. At that moment, they no longer belonged to the ninth level, but were led to a deeper, more hidden place.
This beam of light is not merely a transmission, but more like a "selection" by an ancient will.
Even the sound of time itself vanished from the air, leaving only the booming of Qin Yu's heartbeat synchronized with Yunyi's, echoing like war drums in the Annihilation universe.
The moment the cascade of light engulfed everything, the collapse of the ninth level ended completely, and the void seemed to be rewritten. Qin Yu and Yunyi floated in the weightless stream of light. There was no heaven or earth, no stars, only billions of causal lines appearing and disappearing around them, like countless threads intertwining into an endless net, each line shimmering with the light of a different destiny.
Suddenly, all the causal threads trembled violently and snapped simultaneously. The shattered light fragments danced in the void, transforming into a swarm of light butterflies that hovered and guided the two forward. The Azure Ring trembled slightly in Qin Yu's sea of consciousness, its halo light echoing the light butterflies, as if all of this had been destined long ago. A strange sense of oppression welled up in Qin Yu's heart—this was not an ordinary advancement, but fate pushing them into the unknown in the cruelest way.
As the light butterflies converged into a long river of starlight, the void ahead suddenly cracked open, revealing an ancient portal. The portal was made of black stone tablets, with strange and mysterious seal script engraved on their surfaces. Each character carried an oppressive aura of annihilation, as if proclaiming: those who cross this gate will no longer be protected by any destiny.
Yunyi stared at the entrance, a ripple of emotion stirring deep within her dragon eyes, and whispered, "Little Qinzi... this is the tenth floor."
As soon as the words fell, the heavens and earth trembled, and the entire void space erupted with a roar, as if billions of worlds had collapsed and been reborn at the same time. A dark golden halo appeared on the portal, slowly rotating, as if waiting for them to step in.
A premonition Qin Yu felt was unprecedented: this tenth level was not a simple continuation, but the "final place" hidden in the deepest part of the Realm of Primordial Echoes. There, the answers they sought might be found—or there might be utter destruction.
Amidst the interplay of light and darkness, Qin Yu and Yunyi were drawn into the dark golden vortex of the ancient gate, slowly stepping inside. The surrounding fragments of causal light vanished, leaving only their silhouettes as they disappeared into the unknown tenth abyss.
Silence returned to heaven and earth, with only the ancient portal slowly closing in the endless void, as if it had never existed.
The light stream abruptly ceased, and Qin Yu and Yunyi plummeted into a desolate realm. Here, there was no heaven or earth, no color, only endless black lines intertwined, stretching for thousands of miles, like an unrecoverable net, completely sealing off this space.
These black lines are not simply energy, but rather "remnants of Annihilation cause and effect" condensed together, resembling tombstones of countless destinies. They twist and tremble, yet are tightly intertwined, layer upon layer enveloping the "Star Abyss Core" at the very center.
The Star Abyss Core, like the heart of a star, was utterly shrouded in darkness. Its surface was devoid of any radiance, only constantly flowing ripples of Annihilation emanating from it, emitting a low rumble that seemed to be the deepest pulse of the entire Source of Epochless. With each ripple that spread, the void cracked, as if the entire world was being pulled toward Ultimate annihilation.
Qin Yu and Yunyi stood suspended outside the black line, their bodies trembling slightly under the invisible pressure. Qin Yu's heart suddenly tightened. The Star Abyss Core did not feel like a treasure to him, but rather—a prison of the source of Annihilation.
The Azure Ring trembled slightly deep within her sea of consciousness, yet unusually silent, leaving only an extremely suppressed stillness. Yunyi's dragon pupils narrowed slightly, and she said in a deep voice:
"Little Qinzi... that is the source of this tenth level."
The black lines trembled, and the Star Abyss Core seemed to respond to her words, instantly erupting with countless cracks, as if it were about to collapse at any moment, releasing the unknown entity within.
The black lines deep within the Star Abyss Core coiled like billions of death serpents, twisting and tightening, exuding an aura of "untouchability." They were not merely chains, but the Ultimate shackles woven from countless once- Annihilation causes, destinies, and existential logics. Each black line murmured, like the weeping of countless remains of spirits.
Qin Yu stood in the void, his expression cold and stern, and slowly raised his hand, revealing the three supreme treasures he had acquired along the way:
First is -- the Karmic Crystal.
That was the essence left behind after the death of the Karma Nightmare Disciple, like a transparent yet shimmering seven-colored prism. Inside, billions of causal threads intertwined, each shimmering with a different radiance of destiny. When touched, one could hear whispers of the past and the future overlapping. At this moment, when the crystal emerged, the black threads trembled violently, as if their origin had been forcibly revealed.
Next is -- Fate Shard Crystal.
Formed from the disintegrated fate track of the Fate Adjudicator, it was as black as ink, yet a dazzling silver-white crack appeared within it, like a severed remnant of fate track. The aura it emitted caused the void to tremble, as if it could forcibly alter all the pages of the book of fate. Qin Yu lifted it up, and as the shattered crystal vibrated, hundreds of black lines before his eyes tightened, as if compressed by the force of severance, cracking open with barely perceptible fissures.
Finally, there is one of the Star Abyss Life Marrow Core.
This core, like liquid starlight condensed into a sphere, had a deep purplish-black light flowing across its surface, reflecting the birth and death and destiny of countless stars within. Each drop of flowing light carried the rise and fall of a world. When Qin Yu suspended it in the void, the entire tenth floor instantly roared, and all the black lines trembled violently as if they had encountered their nemesis, emitting a sharp, Annihilation shriek.
The three supreme treasures simultaneously floated in front of Qin Yu, their radiance intertwined, and cause and effect, destiny and the origin of the Star Abyss resonated with each other, converging into a supreme power.
Qin Yu's expression was cold as he raised his hands and unleashed the three supreme treasures simultaneously. In an instant, billions of rays of light surged forth, the threads of cause and effect transformed into blades, the rifts of fate into a heavenly axe, and the power of the Star Abyss Core transformed into a purple-black sea of light. The three merged into one and crashed fiercely into the black shackles.
Boom!!!
The black lines, as if burned by lightning and fire, emitted a deafening shattering sound, and were forcibly Annihilation one by one, turning into black ashes that drifted into the void. As the first layer of black lines collapsed, the entire Star Abyss Core trembled violently, releasing an unfathomable pressure.
At that moment, a sharp glint flashed in Qin Yu's eyes, and he understood—
Only by completely burning these three supreme treasures can the black lines be shattered, forcing out the sealed ultimate being.
The void roared, an unprecedented shattering sound seemed to come from the distant past, shaking the entire tenth level of heaven and earth to the point of upheaval and collapse. As the last black line was completely incinerated by the combined power of the three supreme treasures, the entire space suddenly fell into deathly silence, and then suddenly exploded with billions of rays of light.
The Star Abyss Core slowly emerged. It had been dormant within the confines of endless black lines, resembling a lifeless star, but now it began to beat like a heart. At the same time, another Star Abyss Life Marrow Core also appeared, rising from the depths of the void, carrying a stream of light like an endless galaxy, and slowly approaching the first one.
The moment the two cores faced each other, the world changed color.
The first emitted a purplish-black abyss light, chilling as if falling into the depths of annihilation; the second released endless starlight, radiant and brilliant, like the flames of destiny from billions of worlds. The two diametrically opposed forces collided at the first touch, instantly creating an unprecedented fusion phenomenon.
--Boom!
The entire tenth level of space shattered into countless fragments of a starry sea, the timeline was stretched to infinity, and the chain of cause and effect twisted and burned in the void. Countless illusory stars emerged from the void, their birth and death occurring in an instant, enacting the cycle of reincarnation and destruction of billions of worlds.
The two Star Abyss Core were slowly merging, and a blinding purple-gold flame erupted at their junction. The flames, like a waterfall, swept across the entire world, illuminating all of time and space. Qin Yu and Yunyi had to do their best to raise their defenses, but they were still shaken by this torrent, causing their blood to surge.
As the fusion deepened, incredible sights began to appear within the Star Abyss Core—
Countless destinies transformed into galaxies, revolving around the core; billions of causes and effects wove together like threads, converging into an invisible cosmic book; the rifts in time and space constantly overlapped, as if the entire tenth level had become a chaotic yet sacred altar of Annihilation.
Ultimately, the two Star Abyss Core merged completely into one.
That was a brand new Star Abyss Life Marrow - Complete Core.
It is not merely a core, but a projection of an independent universe: its surface flows with liquid light interwoven with purplish-black and starlight, while its interior reflects the illusions of the birth and death of countless worlds. Each drop of flowing light carries the rise and fall of a complete era; each beat is like the heartbeat of endless destiny.
The entire tenth level of space was then reconstructed, the darkness dissipated, and in its place, a magnificent starlight waterfall cascaded down from the depths of the void, heading straight for an unknown, higher level.
Qin Yu held his breath, his eyes deep, his heart utterly shocked.
He understood—
This Star Abyss Life Marrow · Complete Core is the true supreme substance, and the power it contains is enough to rewrite the cause and effect and destiny of the universe.
Azure Ring whispered in her mind:
"Little Qinzi, this is your true destiny on this journey. But remember—this item brings not only power, but also... an unavoidable catastrophe."
The roar of the void seemed to have been silenced.
As the complete core of the Star Abyss Life Marrow slowly fell into Qin Yu's sea of consciousness amidst the tremors of heaven and earth, the burst of light and flame was like billions of galaxies burning and perishing simultaneously, tearing the entire sea of consciousness into two poles of light and darkness.
The liquid life essence, interwoven with starlight and abyss, pulsed like a heart, surging forth with boundless waves of cause and effect. Qin Yu's body trembled violently, his chest cavity seemed to transform into a cosmic furnace, his sea of consciousness suddenly lit up, and the sixteen marks of the Fate Cause Master Seal appeared all at once!
--boom!
Each mark materialized, hovering above the sea of consciousness, each evolving into an independent world painting:
[Destiny Inheritance - Knowledge Sealing Stage] transformed into a heavy iron lock, obscuring the sky and blocking the invisible path of destiny;
[Yinyan· Mirror Returning Ring] refracts billions of shattered mirrors, distorting reflections and retracing all logic;
[The Master Book - Cause Severing Name] reveals ancient characters; with a single stroke, the enemy's name vanishes without a trace.
[Fate Ring - Linked-Stage Judgment] The myriad rings collapsed, as if a heavenly ladder were exploding and falling step by step;
[Inheritance and Transformation] A colossal book emerges and flips, rewriting the rules of the entire domain;
[Law of Binding] Chains traverse time and space, freezing the enemy's causal foundation...
Each of the sixteen forms is reorganizing, splitting, and absorbing, as if the entire sea of consciousness has become a galaxy tribunal.
Immediately afterwards, the radiance of the Star Abyss Life Marrow Complete Core seeped into it, and the Sixteen Forms were no longer just isolated marks, but began to fuse together under the impact of the starlight and the Abyss Life Track.
--Boom!!
His sea of consciousness surged, countless illusory stars exploded and fell, turning into annihilation dust, and then reforming into a new order. Qin Yu's eyes reflected the raging flames of endless destiny, and his heart roared. He clearly felt that the fundamental logic between himself and "fate" was being completely reshaped.
When the final fusion was completed, the sixteenth form suddenly contracted, transforming into a six-layered seal with intricate patterns that were too complex to be seen directly.
That's brand new--
[Heavenly Cause Judgment Sequence - Six Severances Seal]
The entire mark appears as six overlapping celestial halo rings, each ring woven from countless chains of cause and effect and star trail inscriptions.
The outer layer is a ring-shaped pattern resembling a galaxy, flowing with the light of life essence, interwoven with purple-black and gold radiance;
The second layer of the ring seal reveals fragmented characters, representing the destiny of "ending before words are spoken";
The third ring is formed by chains of cause and effect, each chain flashing with moments of world collapse and rebirth;
The fourth ring is engraved with patterns of Annihilation, like an absolute judgment in the deep sea of Annihilation Abyss;
The fifth ring of seals burns fragments of time, flowing yet frozen, like the heartbeat of the universe;
The innermost layer is the "Core Judgment Seal," a confluence of annihilation and brilliance, upon which six ancient characters for annihilation emerge, each a judgment of World Extinguisher.
As it slowly rotated, the entire sea of consciousness trembled violently, and the void seemed to be ruled by an invisible great judgment.
Amidst the interplay of roar and silence, Qin Yu felt as if he had become the sole judge of fate.
--A new mark, new powers, are born from this.
