Annihilation Against the Mirror, Causeless Disillusionment
The wind stopped completely at this moment, and the sand and gravel in all directions seemed to be suspended in mid-air. The Annihilation Fire Spirit Seal in the hand of the cultivator who had reached the Only Book Realm · Supreme was frozen in mid-air, the flames trembling at his fingertips, but he could no longer condense into a form.
Liu Yuan raised a hand, his gesture extremely gentle, yet like a decree of heaven and earth. The cultivator was stunned for a moment, and fine sweat beaded on his forehead. He hurriedly withdrew his spiritual power, his expression changing slightly, and dared not move rashly again.
"Your Excellency," Liu Yuan's voice was extremely calm, like a suppressed undercurrent in the deep sea, yet it carried an undeniable authority, "I don't like repeating myself."
He took a step forward, his gaze fixed on Qin Yu like a needle. In that instant, the world seemed to be compressed by an invisible will, even the flow of Spiritual Qi was blocked, leaving only the aura between Qin Yu and the two of them colliding silently.
"If you're smart enough," Liu Yuan's tone grew increasingly low, carrying an almost commanding coldness, "Hand over the treasures you obtained from the cave, as well as the rewards from the eighth level of the Ancient Logic Cultivation God Tower."
He paused, a smile that was both smirk and chillingly cold appearing on his lips.
"I can... spare your life."
The three Only Book Realm · Supreme simultaneously looked up in astonishment, their expressions shifting between shock, disbelief, and even hesitation amidst the interplay of light and shadow.
The eighth level? That's a legendary level that even experts at the Annihilation Dawn Realm might not be able to reach.
So, it wasn't their master, Liu Yuan, who initiated it, but rather this seemingly calm young man before them?
In an instant, the way the group looked at Qin Yu completely changed. Their expressions shifted from contempt to caution, and then from caution to a complex mix of greed and fear.
Qin Yu remained calm. The wind brushed against his sleeves, stirring up a few specks of dust. He slowly raised his head, a glint of desolation flashing in his eyes, his tone as indifferent as if he were discussing a trivial matter.
"Give me a way out?"
He smiled softly.
"Liu Yuan —do you know that the most dangerous thing in this world is talking to me about 'a way to survive'?"
- At this moment, the breath of heaven and earth began to condense, dust and sand flowed back, and a sense of silence gradually arose.
In an instant, the aura of heaven and earth collapsed. Qin Yu's brow twitched slightly, and the Silent Origin Stainless Sword from the depths of his sea of consciousness slowly emerged—that faint light, like a silent calamity fire, was born from nothingness and gradually devoured reality. The air began to tremble, dust and sand floated, and the surrounding space froze the moment the sword intent touched it.
That was not simply spiritual pressure, but a kind of "deterrence Undefined Domain". It was silent and invisible, yet it caused the "logic of existence" of all things to collapse. Liu Yuan and the three Only Book Realm · Supreme were simultaneously shocked, and even the spiritual meridians in their bodies were slightly disordered, as if they were being targeted by some kind of "negative existence".
Qin Yu raised his eyes, his black hair slightly tossed, his tone as cold as a deathly whisper from the depths of chaos, "If you want war, then war. Why waste time with these words?"
At that moment, the surrounding mountain winds seemed to freeze. Liu Yuan's eyes turned completely cold, and he growled in a low voice, "Since you want to die, then I'll grant your wish!"
Three Only Book Realm · Supreme simultaneously erupted—
The first person flipped his right palm, and the sky suddenly cracked open, unleashing a golden-red Wheel of Annihilation Fire! It was a forbidden technique that cost the soul to burn. The sky was like a sea of flames rolling back, and countless phantoms condensed into the illusion of "the fall of the fire god" in the burning clouds and flame waves. The fire wheel, tens of thousands of feet high, crashed down on Qin Yu with the force of Realm Collapse.
The second person simultaneously uttered a low shout, and the Soul Annihilation Tower appeared behind him! As the tower shadow rotated, the sea of lightning roared, and the heavens and earth turned into a vortex. Chains of annihilating silver lightning shot out from the tip of the Soul Annihilation Tower, intertwining like dragons and snakes, enveloping the entire mountain range. Lightning tore through space, and every arc of lightning was accompanied by the mournful cry of a soul, as if even time and space were burning.
The third person, shrouded in black mist, slammed his palms together, unleashing the power of his sea of consciousness. He released "Causal Prison Reverse Abyss," using cause and effect as a blade and logic as a prison. Instantly, countless runes formed chains, like the roots of fate extending from the earth, sealing off the void where Qin Yu was. Each twist of the chains produced a resonant sound like the roar of the heavens.
Three forces converged: burning the heavens, splitting the earth, shattering the soul, and shattering time, all crashing down on Qin Yu. In an instant, the world was torn into three layers of space—the Fire Domain, the Lightning Prison, and the Abyss of Destruction—intertwining to form a destructive triple battlefield. Light and shadow collided, colors exploded, and sonic booms swept across hundreds of miles like a tide.
The mountain collapsed, the void was like a mirror, and amidst the low roar of heaven and earth, only Qin Yu stood alone in the wind, his clothes fluttering in the wind.
However, amidst the chaotic and violent special effects storm, his figure remained motionless.
The Silent Origin Stainless Sword hung behind him, its blade formless and intangible, its light slowly gathering like an endless white expanse. It was the eye of the storm, and also the beginning of destruction.
The world stood still for a moment.
The triple destructive energy was still roaring, but it was forcibly torn apart by an indefinable silence. Light, flame, lightning, and chains froze in mid-air, like the afterimages of a torn scroll. Qin Yu slowly raised his hand, and the Silent Origin Stainless Sword slowly took shape in the void between his fingers—there was no sword light, no Sword Qi, only a wisp of extremely faint white light floating around him, like the light of a newly opened chaotic lotus.
This touch of white is the color of Ultimate negation.
"--The No-Thought Absolute Silence Sword."
He uttered four words softly, and the world instantly collapsed.
In an instant, the entire sky Annihilation Wasteland Border transformed into a spatial scroll torn in reverse, colors stripped away, sounds reversed, and cause and effect frozen. The blazing flames of the sea of fire, like paint erased of meaning, suddenly dimmed; the flashes of lightning turned into silent black mist, curling up and falling; and those chains of cause and effect were as if "deleted" from existence, each link shattering into ash in the process of being defined and disappearing.
The three experts at the Only Book Realm · Supreme froze at that moment, their eyes reflecting the Annihilation lotus sea surrounding Qin Yu.
The sea of lotus flowers had no color, yet it reflected the illusion of a collapsing universe. Each falling petal of lotus light carried away a memory, a lifeline, and the possibility of a soul.
The Wheel of Annihilation Fire on the first person began to reverse; the flames ceased to burn and were instead devoured by the "forgotten existence" within him. His body became transparent from his feet down, and before he could even show a look of terror, he transformed into a silent gust of wind.
The second person's Ninefold Soul Annihilation Tower suddenly collapsed. Before his soul could even shriek, it was torn into light fragments by the logic of his own sea of consciousness. The sea of lightning shattered like glass, and countless arcs of electricity fell into the void, losing their reason for existence.
The third person suffered the most tragic fate. His "Causal Prison Reverse Abyss" backfired the moment he was touched by the Sword Qi. The causal chains he had woven suddenly turned back on him, locking the root of his soul's definition—and then inch by inch, pulling him away from "being remembered by the world."
His last glimpse was of Qin Yu standing at the center of the collapsing world, his robes fluttering without wind, the Silent Origin Stainless Sword hanging by his side, its blade formless and invisible, leaving only a point of absolute white light.
The world trembled—boom!
All three vanished simultaneously. There was no blood, no screams; even the act of "death" failed. Only faint dust remained in the space, like a forgotten dream.
The wind returned, and the sky regained its color.
Qin Yu stood on the ground shrouded in luminous gray, his gaze calm, his tone indifferent. "When the three thoughts cease, the Realm Silence. Only then can one achieve non-thought."
The Silent Origin Stainless Sword trembled slightly, and a silent ripple spread out, completely erasing the aftershocks, and the world returned to tranquility.
At this moment, Liu Yuan remained motionless, his eyes narrowing slightly.
What he felt was not power, but the terror of even the "definition of power" being erased.
The wind whipped up the ashes of the fading light, and the world fell into a deathly silence. The three Only Book Realm · Supreme were no more; even the traces of their existence had been completely erased by that sword strike. Only the lingering aura of Annihilation still drifted in the valley, turning into invisible dust that slowly dissipated in the cracks beyond the reach of time.
Liu Yuan stood frozen in place, the spiritual energy in his palm turning completely cold. He could clearly feel that all the laws he knew—energy, soul consciousness, time, causality—were "negated" at that moment. It wasn't a crushing defeat on the level of power, but an absolute terror of "the meaning of existence being deleted."
He slowly raised his head, his gaze falling on Qin Yu.
The young man stood quietly in the wind, his long hair fluttering slightly, his sleeves spotless. The Silent Origin Stainless Sword hovered behind him, its faint white light so intense that even the wind dared not touch it.
Liu Yuan's breathing quickened, and for the first time, a genuine fear arose in his heart.
"Who... who are you?!"
His voice was hoarse, almost swallowed by the silence. In that instant, even his soul trembled, for he saw something incomprehensible in Qin Yu —an incomprehensible, No Definition pressure.
That is a kind of existence logic that does not belong to the Source of Epochless · Middle Layer.
However, after the fear comes the instinct of the strong. Liu Yuan slowly exhaled, his eyes regained their composure, and a dark silver halo appeared between his brows.
"Whoever you are... wanting to destroy me—I'd like to see just where your limits lie."
He flipped his right hand, and a deep silver spear slowly appeared in his palm.
That was the Abyss-Observing Soul Spear, a weapon of origin formed from the will of the "Supreme Severed Observation Realm". The spear was entirely silver-black, with patterns like cracked mirrors flowing across its surface, each pattern reflecting the collapse of countless parallel spaces.
The moment Liu Yuan gripped it tightly, the mirror image of heaven and earth began to distort. The entire valley seemed to be reflected on a body of water, while that water surface reversed the order of heaven and earth.
"Mirror Viewing - Boundary-Splitting Style"
His whispers were like the beginning of destiny.
In an instant, a mirror-like halo erupted from beneath his feet, spreading to the sky. The shadows of all things began to separate, and the reflections of the rocks rose from the ground, transforming into an anti-world that overlapped with reality.
The air shimmered with countless fragments of mirror light, and sharp spatial cracks crisscrossed like countless spears suspended in the air, pointing directly at Qin Yu.
That is the primordial power of the "Perfect Mirror of Supreme Severed Observation"—"bounded by observation, annihilated by reflection." Anything observed will be copied and then destroyed in the mirror.
The air around Qin Yu suddenly froze, and even the light of the Silent Origin Stainless Sword was bound by that heavy mirror barrier.
Liu Yuan's right hand suddenly jerked, and the spearhead drew a streak of backlight, instantly splitting the image of heaven and earth!
This attack was not a probe, but a fundamental test that was truly enough to shake the very foundations of the Void Obliteration Domain Realm.
As light and shadow intertwined, white shockwaves erupted from the void, turning mountains into dust, shattering the sky, and instantly reversing the entire field into a mirror-image apocalypse!
The sound of shattering mirrors continued unabated, like a divine judgment announcing the end.
Qin Yu remained motionless, the silent light flowing from his fingertips, transforming into a colorless ripple that collided head-on with the spearhead.
The air collapsed completely upon contact.
Boom!!!
The mirror world shattered, space tore apart, and the other half of the sky fell into "nothingness."
At this moment, the world is reduced to a mere clash of light between white and silver.
The roar of the shattering mirror realm had not yet dissipated when space, like broken glass, rapidly collapsed between the two. Liu Yuan pierced the air, shattering everything in its path, and mirror light spread outwards in waves. Qin Yu did not move, his robes fluttering, and the Silent Origin Stainless Sword silently hovered to his right. In that instant, heaven and earth fell silent.
"The Causeless Disillusionment Sword".
The whisper was like a thunderclap striking the soul, and a sudden burst of Annihilation light erupted from Qin Yu's fingertips.
That was not sword light, but the collapse of cause and effect. The threads of the void—the lifeblood that sustains all things—transformed into visible light dust at this moment, falling from the sky. Each broken ray of light was the demise of a "cause" and the annihilation of an "effect".
Qin Yu lightly raised his hand, and the sword's momentum poured forth like water, creating an arc of white light. That white light was silent, yet it devoured the colors of the world—red, blue, silver, gold—all were erased, leaving only "nothingness."
When the sword's edge clashed with the Liu Yuan's edge—
The heavens and earth trembled.
The cracks in the mirror world spread wildly, as if the mirror space had been fundamentally dismantled. The countless "illusory Liu Yuan" reflected therein collapsed one after another, turning into gray mist, which was absorbed into the sword light by the annihilation of cause and effect. Liu Yuan suddenly felt a tearing pain, as if an invisible knife had severed the energy connection between him and the world.
He roared, his hands trembling Abyss-Observing Soul Spear, its momentum swift as a streak of light!
Countless mirror images coalesced into a swirling spear array, reflecting Qin Yu's sword light and deflecting the "Annihilation white light" layer by layer. The moment the sword light collided with the mirror images, the entire space emitted a blinding flash—white and silver intertwined, and there was no direction between heaven and earth.
Qin Yu's figure paused slightly amidst the light and shadow. The oppressive aura emanating from the Severed Observation Realm · Supreme finally manifested itself—every inch of air was shattering, and every strand of energy was torn apart by the backlash from the Mirror Realm.
That is the barrier of boundaries, a suppression forged by the "right of observation".
Liu Yuan's figure split into dozens of illusory images in the mirror light, and his voice seemed to come from a thousand layers of space at the same time. "Although you wield a sword to defy fate, you are ultimately only— Sole Book · Intermediate Stage! You haven't even fully stepped into the realm I've observed, so what makes you think you can contend with me!"
Qin Yu's breathing became slightly erratic, the Silent Origin Light Wheel around him surged, and a buzzing sound emanated from his sea of consciousness. The resonance of the Stainless Sword clearly entered his mind, as calm and firm as a whisper.
He looked up, his black hair flowing, his eyes filled with a desolate light like an abyss. "It cannot be determined by 'definition'."
The white light exploded again--
The second sword technique of the Causeless Disillusionment Sword unfolded, completely severing the causal connections of heaven and earth, even erasing the very structure of the mirror world's reflections. Countless mirror images shattered simultaneously in an instant, and the backlash of silver light struck Liu Yuan's chest, causing him to stagger back several steps, his spear vibrating violently.
Liu Yuan's expression changed, and the Mirror Mark between his brows dimmed slightly.
He sensed it—the opponent's sword not only severed the attack, but also severed the "cause of the attack."
Energy surged and churned in the valley, tearing dozens of abyssal rifts in the airflow between the two. Qin Yu's sleeves were slightly torn, but his aura remained stable. Sword light surrounded him, and the white, silent light collided and intertwined with Liu Yuan's mirror silver light, tearing out billions of light threads.
The world was violently distorted; on one side was the Mirror Sea, and on the other, the Lotus of Annihilation.
Their clash transcended a battle on earth; it was more like a collision between existence and observation.
The current balance of power is so intense that even heaven and earth seem to weep.
Liu Yuan was secretly shocked: How could an Only Book Realm · Intermediate Stage have fought him head-on to this extent? If it weren't for the difference in their realms allowing his soul power to last longer, the outcome would probably have been decided long ago.
Qin Yu remained extremely calm. He sensed a pressure amplified by a level above his own—a kind of existential logic emanating from the "Observer." The light of the Silent Origin Stainless Sword continued to extend, but he understood that if he forced the sword's momentum forward, he would inevitably expose his own soul's trump card.
The two were locked in a stalemate, the wind seemed to freeze, and the mountains and rivers trembled incessantly at the boundary between collapse and Annihilation.
The Supreme power clashes with the sharpness of the Sole Book; the battle between strength and definition continues to tug at this world.
