Within the Land of Void Source Reshaping, the dark light of the divine statue had not yet dissipated. Qin Yu was suspended in mid-air by the light screen, his sea of consciousness and the laws of heaven and earth roaring simultaneously.
The Three Forms of Fate Construction originally engraved within him—[Cause and Effect Deconstruction], [Time Flow Reversal], and [Existence Erasure]—shattered under the illumination of the light curtain! Each principle transformed into billions of fragments of light, like a shattered galaxy, scattering around Qin Yu. However, they did not perish; instead, they were drawn back by a higher-dimensional ripple and reforged into entirely new laws.
The Void Source Ripple suddenly spread, causing space to undulate like the surface of a sea. The entire dark void of the Land of the Void Source was abruptly torn apart into three overlapping images:
The first layer is the collapse of countless causal light chains, shattering into countless fragments of light.
The second layer is a reversal of the torrent of time, where the remnants of the past and the future appear together, as if billions of mirrors shattered at the same time;
The third layer is the stripping away of the essence, where the illusory image transforms into a transparent mist and is gradually obliterated.
Deep within Qin Yu's sea of consciousness, a brand new imprint suddenly emerged. Ancient and vast symbols shimmered with chaotic light, as if they were the first word written at the beginning of the universe. With a tremor, it reassembled the three techniques, ultimately fusing them into a completely new super cultivation method—[Void Source Truth Command].
First Technique: Cause and Effect Reshaping
With a push of his palm, Qin Yu caused the Void Source Ripple to transform into trillions of light points, impacting space. All mountains, stone walls, and the void instantly disintegrated into tiny fragments of causal light, as if the entire world had been broken down into countless particles of light. With a thought, those fragments of light reassembled, generating a completely new scene—mountains transformed into plains, and new star rivers appeared in the void; life and death were only a breath apart.
Second Technique: Time Flow Interference
Qin Yu's pupils suddenly reflected countless overlapping torrents of time. Time within the Void Source Domain crumbled like water. With a wave of his hand, the past scenes in the afterimages were pulled back to reality: a long-withered flower bloomed reversibly before his eyes; images of the future were also projected ahead of time, the enemy's attack collapsing before he even launched it. He Time Splitting timeline with his own will, forcibly rewriting history and predetermining the future's ending. The gears of time broke and reformed in his palm, emitting a deafening roar!
Third Technique: Existence Overwriting
Qin Yu slowly extended his hand, and a mist of annihilation appeared in his palm, within which countless "coordinates of existence" flickered. As the Void Source Ripple covered the enemy, their figures gradually blurred, and incredulous fear appeared in their eyes, as they began to doubt "Who am I?" and "Do I even exist?" Once their cognition wavered, their bodies automatically turned into illusory dust, dissipating into nothingness. But Qin Yu could also manipulate it in reverse, rewriting the dissipated fragments into new existences—reshaping them into his own forces on the battlefield.
--
As the three forms were reforged, the entire Land of the Void Source trembled. The dark void was illuminated, and billions of light fragments poured down like a galaxy, swirling around Qin Yu. Behind him, a magnificent "Void Source Domain" appeared, with light fragments flowing, torrents of time swirling, and mists of existence drifting, as if the very foundation of the world was under his control.
From this moment on, Qin Yu's Three Forms of Fate Construction were completely reborn, transforming into the Ultimate cultivation method capable of manipulating cause and effect, time, and existence at will—[Void Source Truth Command].
Deep within the Land of the Void Source, the annihilation light curtain still roared, enveloping Qin Yu within it, the entire space transforming into a universe undergoing reconstruction.
Inside the cave, Yunyi was the first to sense something was amiss.
She was originally Qin Yu's Fate Soul Beast, resonating with his Fate Soul. At this moment, as the [Three Forms of Fate Construction] within Qin Yu's body completely disintegrated and sublimated into [Void Source Truth Command], an unprecedented shock to the soul surged like a tidal wave in the starry sea, directly impacting her sea of consciousness.
Yunyi suddenly stopped, her pupils brightened, and her three dragon eyes—azure, golden, and purple—manifested simultaneously. Deep within her pupils emerged countless broken and reassembled causal chains, the reverse flow and collapse of the torrent of time, and even the dissipation and rewriting of the essence itself.
"This is..." she murmured softly, her voice trembling with shock.
Boom--
Her dragon soul phantom unfolded behind her on its own, the roar of the Nether Abyss Black Dragon mixed with the chanting of the Illusionary Butterfly Tide naturally appearing! Billions of butterfly wings floated around her, fluttering like the Milky Way overturning. That was the result of her Fate Soul being forcibly awakened, because Qin Yu's power was directly overflowing into her body through the Fate Soul contract.
Yunyi felt as if the whole world was being rewritten by Qin Yu. She could even clearly feel that the deepest imprint of her soul was being gently yet domineeringly drawn by Qin Yu's will.
She clutched her chest, her cheeks flushed, and whispered:
"Little Qinzi... is he... going to reshape the entire world?"
The shock in her heart was like a tsunami. She knew very well that Qin Yu was touching upon a supreme power that transcended the Annihilation Abyss and the Void Evolution, pointing directly to the foundation of the universe. And this power could resonate completely with her Fate Soul, as if she was born to accompany him and bear this power together.
Hong Xiuxiang also sensed the tremor in the space. She raised the Brocade Ink Soul Brush in her hand, her heart and soul trembling. She stared in shock in the direction where Qin Yu was, but it was nothing compared to the deep tremor in Yunyi's soul.
Yunyi's gaze was bright, both proud and gentle. A thought quietly formed in her heart:
If Little Qinzi eventually becomes the "Lord of the Void Source" who rewrites the world, then she is willing to become his Fate Soul and go through Annihilation and rebirth together.
Deep within the cave, the black light suddenly receded, and in an instant, it seemed as if the entire space was torn apart and then reassembled.
Qin Yu's figure was lifted by the black divine light and slowly returned from the reshaping light curtain of the Land of the Void Source. In his eyes, there was no longer a simple annihilation light, but a chaotic starlight that reflected the broken chain of cause and effect, the reversal of the flow of time, and the Existence Overwriting. With each step he took, the ripples of the void beneath his feet twisted and distorted, as if reality itself was being reconstructed by his will.
"Void Source Truth Command..." Qin Yu exhaled softly, his voice echoing loudly in the cave, as if even time and space were recording this moment.
Hong Xiuxiang immediately looked up, her slender hand tightly gripping the Brocade Ink Soul Brush. Her pupils contracted sharply, and she almost held her breath. She clearly saw that Qin Yu's aura was completely different from before:
He was no longer just a cultivator of the Logic Realm Realm, but rather a rewriter grounded in reality.
Layers of black and gold light flakes appeared on Qin Yu's shoulders, like "Void Source particles" decomposed from the beginning of the universe. They spun around him, sometimes forming new runes, sometimes collapsing into dust of Annihilation, each piece carrying the power to reshape an entire world.
A wave of indescribable shock and slight unease washed over Hong Xiuxiang. She had been confident that she had reached the pinnacle of the Only Book Realm, Supreme the recognition of the Brocade Ink Soul Brush as its master had made her believe that she could accompany Qin Yu on his journey. However, at this moment, she truly felt that the gap between the two of them was widening infinitely.
She murmured softly, "Qin Yu... you... are completely different now."
Her voice trembled, yet it carried a deep sense of admiration and tenderness.
At this moment, Yunyi walked over. Her Fate Soul contract was still trembling, intertwining with Qin Yu's aura, causing a strange phenomenon of countless butterfly lights and dragon shadows to overlap in her eyes. She looked at Hong Xiuxiang and smiled gently, "Sister Xiuxiang, don't be afraid—although Little Qinzi has become stronger, he is still himself. It's just... now he has begun to touch a world that even we cannot imagine."
Hearing their voices, Qin Yu looked up, his eyes softening. He slowly extended his hand, the black light dissipated, and the Void Source fragments around him gradually disappeared into his sea of consciousness, leaving only a calm and warm aura.
He said softly, "I'm back."
His voice, like the soft murmur of the starry sea, made Hong Xiuxiang's heart tremble involuntarily, and her eyes even welled up with tears. She was genuinely happy for Qin Yu.
Inside the cave, the Annihilation light finally dissipated, and the fluctuations of the Void Source gradually subsided.
Qin Yu looked around at the shattered walls reduced to ruins by the black light of the statue, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go. We still need to continue pursuing that escaped beast."
His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable firmness. The radiance of the Azure Ring trembled slightly in his sea of consciousness, faintly revealing a chilling aura. "Little Qinzi is right. That [Abyss-Rending Desolate Prison Mystic Hou] will not give up easily. After it escapes back, it will most likely report to the higher-level Dark Sovereign. If we delay too long, we will only face an even more terrifying hunt."
Qin Yu nodded slightly, his gaze turning to the tattered ancient map that Mengxin had given him. The scroll unfurled in his palm, emitting a faint spiritual light, and three black-gold marks appeared in the void, like cold starlight, each suppressing a triangular region within the Realm of Primordial Echoes.
"Here." Qin Yu tapped his fingertip lightly, and starlight suddenly appeared on the incomplete map:
The first location is in the Nether Abyss Bone Marsh, a Plain of Ten Thousand Bones covered in blood-red miasma;
The second location is the Void Silent Spirit Pool, a legendary abyss of still water that connects countless dimensions;
The third location is in the Heavenly Abyss Riven Firmament, a network of fissures that lead directly to the unknown, higher realms of nothingness.
"Mengxin said that these three super divine beasts are the true rulers of this realm." Qin Yu put away the map, his eyes cold and sharp. "If we want to completely escape the Realm of Primordial Echoes, we must first suppress their power one by one, otherwise we will have no chance at all."
Upon hearing this, Hong Xiuxiang bit her lip gently, her hands slowly tightening around the Brocade Ink Soul Brush, a hint of solemnity flashing in her eyes. She said softly, "In other words, the previous battles... were just a prelude."
Yunyi's dragon eyes flashed, the shadows of butterflies and dragons intertwining in them. Her voice was low and clear. "That's right, the real interception has only just begun. Little Qinzi, we need to be even more careful than before."
Qin Yu took a deep breath, stood with his hands behind his back, his body surrounded by a mixture of annihilation and Void Source light, like a king stepping out of nothingness, and whispered:
"The moment the Abyss-Rending Desolate Prison Mystic Hou escaped, it was already destined that there would be no turning back in this hunt. Next, we'll head to the Nether Abyss Bone Marsh."
As soon as these words were spoken, a gust of gray-black wind suddenly swept through the cave, as if responding to this resolute determination from the depths of the universe.
When Qin Yu, along with Yunyi and Hong Xiuxiang, followed the guidance of the Mengxin Ancient Map to arrive at the "Nether Abyss Bone Marsh," the world suddenly darkened, as if the entire space was swallowed up by blood and gray-black.
As far as the eye could see, there stretched an endless expanse of bones. The earth was devoid of soil, leaving only hills and valleys formed by the stark white and gray-black skeletons. Countless colossal beast skeletons stretched across the sky, their broken ribs like white spears piercing the clouds, dark red liquid flowing from their empty eye sockets, dripping with a "tap... tap..." sound like the tolling of a death knell.
A blood-red miasma floated in the air, from which faint howls and curses could be heard, as if millions of dead creatures were still roaring and calling for their return. With each step, the ground would crack open, revealing abyssal fissures where rivers of blood formed from bone marrow flowed, emitting a stench that sent chills down one's spine.
In the deepest part of this bone swamp, the light between heaven and earth is completely distorted. In the distance, it seems that a towering "Bone King's Palace" stands, with its doors tightly closed and covered with countless broken causal runes that flicker with a dark red light, as if foreshadowing some inescapable judgment.
As soon as Qin Yu and his companions stepped inside, they heard a deep rumble emanating from the entire Bone Swamp, as if the whole world was breathing. The next instant, the blood-red miasma surged violently, transforming into thousands of phantom skeletal hands that reached out from the void, clawing at their souls and bodies.
Hong Xiuxiang's expression changed, Brocade Ink Soul Brush in her hand emitted a low hum, its tip scattering ink radiance to block a giant skeletal hand that lunged at her. Yunyi Long's eyes suddenly flashed with cold light, butterfly shadows surged like a tide, and the dragon soul roared, suppressing the howls of those phantoms.
Qin Yu stood quietly in front, gently raising the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword in his hand. Annihilation black radiance and Void Source light fragments swirled around the sword's blade. His voice was cold and resolute:
"This is one of the three sources of terror that Mengxin mentioned— the Nether Abyss Bone Marsh. If we don't break through this realm, we'll never be able to leave."
The instant he finished speaking, a roar that seemed to transcend time suddenly came from the depths of the bone swamp. All the bones trembled at the same time, and the ashes were stirred up, turning into countless vortexes. It was as if a true sovereign was awakening from death and blood and bones.
