Causeless Karmic Fire Chain · Heavenly Prison Final Tribulation Field

The ninth layer opens – the moment cause and effect are ignited, the world does not turn a page.

Instead, it was burned open by fire. Boom!

That wasn't thunder, nor was it the sound of the earth collapsing.

Rather, it is the sound of "cause and effect" itself burning.

The sky is no longer the sky.

It is, in fact, a narrative scroll that is being burned.

Vast stretches of causal lines fell from the sky like lit fuses.

Trailing crimson and black flames, it exploded in the void, creating ripples of fire.

Extinguished Light raised her head, her beautiful eyes twitching slightly.

"... Cause and effect were forcibly ignited."

Qin Yu's clothes fluttered behind him.

Every fiber of the garment is burning with an invisible "fire of cause and effect".

The flames had no heat, yet they seemed to be burning away his Fate Soul's memories.

Ling Liangyan frowned suddenly; seven or eight "shadows of herself" had appeared around her.

Each shadow represents a choice she once made.

And all those shadows were burning—turning to ashes, falling, scattering, and disappearing.

"Is this... taking all the choices we've made in the past, rekindling them, and pointing them all towards one result?"

For the first time, her voice carried a distinct seriousness.

Extinguished Light said softly, "Yes—every 'cause of the past' is rewritten as a 'cause of destruction'."

Before Qin Yu could respond, the entire Ninth Layer of the Heavenly Prison suddenly lit up.

The Causeless Karmic Fire Chain, descended—and space was shattered with a "crack."

A giant chain of black fire was dragged out from countless fragments of space.

It has no head or tail, and its links are as huge as pillars of heaven. Each link is engraved with scarlet "causal runes".

The runes flickered like a beating heart: hum--hum--hum--

With each jump, a segment of "Qin Yu's past karma" exploded into ashes in the void.

As the fire chains fall, visible "causal wind pressure waves" form in the air.

Like countless fragments of history being leveled together.

The chain of flames, like a black sea of fire, consumed time, consumed space, consumed emotions, consumed logic—

All the "possibilities and impossibilities" are burned into one result:

You will perish. And then—in the gray abyss of space,

A blurry figure of black flames slowly rose. No, it was a—"The Lord of Burning Effects".

It has no face. It is only a black fire spirit that is constantly being burned and reborn.

Each time this soul image re-forms, it reflects "different future fates for Qin Yu, Extinguished Light, Ling Liangyan":

One lay in a pool of blood, one was hanged in mid-air by a chain of cause and effect, and one turned to ashes, leaving not even a name behind.

The Lord of Burning Effects raised his hand, his five fingers resembling five segments of causal lines burned red.

His voice was not a voice, but a "cause-and-effect judgment" that exploded simultaneously in the minds of the three:

All your causes Return to One result: annihilation.

"Those who oppose will be swiftly annihilated." "Those who resist will be swiftly annihilated." "Silence will also lead to annihilation."

With a gentle snap of His fingers—

Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!!

Countless chains of black fire burst forth from all directions!

The chain tip, like a venomous snake, tore through space, leaving a long trail of flame.

It was as if a million "causal instructions for self-destruction" were simultaneously targeting the three of them!

Destruction from the source - Chain Slaughter

The chain of flames swooped down from the sky at such speed that space itself didn't have time to deform, and was directly "burned into a hole."

Like a storm of cause and effect, Qin Yu's brow Azure Evolution Core.

The Annihilation Devil Pupil suddenly opened! Black and red demonic flames soared into the sky.

Like billions of Annihilation galaxies pouring down, it instantly engulfed more than a dozen chains of fire!

But... the fire chain only paused slightly.

Then it charged toward Qin Yu at ten times the speed.

The Azure Evolution Core hummed as if saying, "This is—your past karma, rewritten to 'hurt you'."

The stronger you are, the stronger it becomes.

Extinguished Light raised his hand--

As the black light condensed, the Final Radiance Giant Wheel roared forth!

As the giant ship fell, it was like a divine light and a dark sun, shattering hundreds of fire chains!

However, the Chain Flame fragments returned in the opposite direction, locking onto the Extinguished Light once more.

Ling Liangyan's eyes were cold and deep as she manipulated the air with her ten fingers:

"Playing Jiwu Without Strings, Eradicate in Three Breaths!" The sound of the zither exploded forth.

The sound waves spread like silver wings of light.

The chains of fire surrounding the three people were frozen in mid-air.

The next instant—those chains of fire, along with the "self-destructive karma" attached to them...

Everything vanished within three breaths, but the tranquility lasted only a moment.

The Lord of Burning Effects raised his hand, and the chain flames blazed violently. "If it extinguishes in three breaths, it will return to burning in four breaths."

The heavens and earth trembled violently! All the fire chains that had been erased by the music were now being "rewritten" in the void.

The quantity will increase tenfold, and the speed a hundredfold!

Like ten thousand giant pythons of cause and effect, they roared and charged towards the three of them!

Qin Yu's Counterattack: The Book of Fate Law Activated--

Qin Yu's eyes darkened. The Book of Fate Law - The Realm Severing Origin Brush unfolded in his hand, its pages splitting open like the sky itself:

"Heavenly Cause Judgment Sequence - The Orbital Collapse Lock!!!"

The book's pages contained billions of causal chains that were forcibly manipulated.

In the air, they transformed into countless "life-stripping chains".

A fierce clash with the Black Fire Industry Chain!

Rumble--!!! Cause and effect collide with cause and effect,

The power of the two narrative levels erupted with a shockwave like the collapse of a black hole.

Even the ninth level of space was ripped open, creating a spatial rift several kilometers wide!

But the Lord of Burning Effects reached out and grasped—

All the causal chains released by Qin Yu... were "rewritten" in an instant.

It transformed into "the cause that devoured Qin Yu's past." The Azure Evolution Core trembled violently.

Many images of Qin Yu's "past states" began to burn away and turn to ash within his body!

This even includes—his memories, his training path, his battle imprints...

Extinguished Light's face turned cold. "Qin Yu's karma has been directly burned... This is absolutely unacceptable."

She took a step forward, and black light shot into the sky:

"The Annihilation Fate Radiance Induction — The Star Judgment of End and Beginning!!!"

The final radiance fell from the sky, severing thousands of the Lord of Burning Effects's chains of fire!

But every severed link of the fire chain... was reassembled and reborn.

And it locked onto the Extinguished Light itself at an even faster speed!

The cold, resounding voice of the Lord of Burning Effects declared, "Those who aided him—are of the same ilk."

Ling Liangyan's Swan Song: The Bright Zither's Final Severance of Lingering Sound.

Ling Liangyan plucked the strings with her ten fingers, and the music poured out like a waterfall from between her fingers.

The sound waves transformed into seven-colored strings, which then divided the incoming fire chains into seven segments.

She sighed softly, "The Yanran Final Act." In that instant—she withdrew a wisp of the Lord of Burning Effects's "desire to annihilate."

The chains of fire flickered, and the Lord of Burning Effects of the Lord of Burning Effects paused slightly. But his pause was only for a moment.

The next instant, his voice was like a judgment from hell. "The will can be extracted—but the result cannot be escaped."

Suddenly, all the fire chains reversed direction and accelerated, converging into a single, towering chain of fire.

Like a celestial river cascading down from above—it locked onto the "Fate Soul Nucleus" of the three.

The entire Ninth Layer of the Heavenly Prison began to burn! Hundreds of fiery seas cracked open in the gray sky, and the ground surged into an ocean of causal black flames.

The shattered fire rain of cause and effect fell like meteors, and the chain flames whipped up a wall of fire hundreds of meters high.

Space rippled, shattered, and evaporated amidst the flames... The three roared in unison, "Break!!!"

The ninth layer... completely exploded. Not an explosion.

Instead, the entire world was gradually burned away by the "fire of cause and effect."

The sky was torn into countless fragments of a book, each burning with crimson and black flames;

They were swept up by the unseen winds of cause and effect, falling like billions of streams of fire and broken feathers.

The moment the black fire rain hits the ground, it doesn't burn the earth, but rather burns—your past.

Each drop that falls erases a segment of the Fate Soul trajectory of one of Qin Yu, Extinguished Light, or Ling Liangyan.

Qin Yu could even clearly see his own shadow being burned to a fragmented shape at his feet... a half-missing outline.

Extinguished Light's brows were gleaming with a dark light like a knife. She raised her hand slightly, and the dark light surged like a tide, blocking the flowing fire and shattering rain.

But the next moment— the Heavenly Prison was fully activated.

--The Lord of Burning Effects Descends in Full Form--

Boom!!!!!!!!

The entire space was stretched to its Limit and then compressed by the black fire chains.

A towering black flame entity, thousands of feet tall, finally entered the "narrative space."

That wasn't a body, but—

A sea of causal corpses, piled up from countless "burnt futures" and "extinguished pasts"!

With each step He took, many figures appeared beneath His feet: they had all tried to challenge this place.

But their "past existence" was burned away, leaving only... the afterimage of black flames.

The Lord of Burning Effects raised his hand as if grasping the heavens with a pillar—"Today, all your causes... Return to One fruit."

He closed his five fingers together. Boom boom boom boom boom!!!!!

Countless chains of black fire rose simultaneously from the sky and the ground.

Each chain of flame is thousands of feet long, its links as solid as cast iron mountains.

Trailing a fiery aftermath of causal chaos, it hurtled towards the three at the speed of light.

They're crushing down on us!!! These chains aren't an attack.

It's the "cause and effect judgment content." Once you encounter it, your story ends.

The Extinguished Light and blocks the way; the Final Radiance Giant Wheel breaks through cause and effect— the Extinguished Light and takes a step forward.

His long, black hair exploded in the causal wind like a god descending.

She raised her hand, her palm blooming like an abyss:

"Annihilation Fate Radiance Induction - Star Judgment of End and Beginning!!!" Boom--------!!!

Zhonghui fell from the sky, like a black and gold meteor that compressed all the future into a single point!

The colossal ship roared out, severing hundreds of causal chains at an incredible speed!

The instant the severance occurs—the severed cause and effect immediately backfire on Him.

Extinguished Light endured was not pain, but...

She bore the "deleted future" for Qin Yu. A section of her shadow burned off on the ground.

Qin Yu's heart skipped a beat. "Extinguished Light!"

Extinguished Light turned back, smiled at him, and her black, abyss-like pupils slightly contracted: "I said—"

"Wherever you go, I'll follow you." Hei Hui exploded again!

The giant ship reversed course, meeting the fiery storm with even greater ferocity.

But the Lord of Burning Effects waved his hand—and all the severed causal chains instantly grew back!!

Moreover, the quantity doubled, and the speed increased tenfold! The chain of cause and effect rained down like a storm, causing cracks to appear in the black radiance giant wheel!

Ling Liangyan makes her move – the zither extinguishes the seven causes.

Ling Liangyan slightly raised her eyes, her gaze reflecting countless incinerated shadows of cause and effect.

She gently reached out—her jade-like fingers brushed against the air. Ding!

That wasn't a sound. It was the echo of "a piece of history being deleted."

The air vibrated like a giant ancient zither, with seven-colored light strings spanning the heavens and the earth.

"The Yanran Final Act." A single note on the zither string—

The seven-colored arc of light resembled seven blades of light slicing across the path of fate.

In an instant, she erased all the causal chains that bound her and the Extinguished Light!

But the next moment, she felt a sudden tightness in her chest—the seven-colored light string had begun to pull back at her emotions!

She felt her "anger" and "fear" being taken away.

Even their fighting spirit has begun to wane!

A flash of blue light appeared between Qin Yu's brows. "Elder Ling!!!!"

Ling Liangyan shook her head, her voice still indifferent. "Here, cause and effect specifically sever the variables of the future."

I inhaled its cause, and it backfired on my heart. The music shattered again!

The heavens and earth were shattered into vast blank pages! But... the Lord of Burning Effects remained standing unmoved.

His voice was like the only remaining footnote to the Way of Heaven: "Emotions can be extracted—because they are irreversible."

All the chain flames that Ling Liangyan had wiped away reignited beneath His feet, even more violently and irresistibly!

Qin Yu took a step forward. The Azure Evolution Core hummed to its Ultimate.

The Annihilation Devil Pupil - The Final Gaze slowly opened!

The entire Ninth Layer of the Heavenly Prison seemed to be "seen through" by this black and red demonic eye.

Space, fire, causality, narrative... all are distorted and deformed.

A beam of dark, colorless light shot out from the depths of the Demon Eye.

As fine as a brush tip, yet like the final beam of light piercing through the Heavenly Prison.

Boom----------!!!

The black light pierced through more than a dozen chains of cause and effect, instantly collapsing the causal runes within them, and the entire chain turning to ash!

For the first time, the Lord of Burning Effects looked up at Qin Yu.

The whole world trembled. "... You, you bastard..." "You actually used 'Annihilation' to fight against 'cause and effect'?"

He clenched his five fingers, and all the causal threads of heaven and earth were reversed.

They converged into an enormous "cause and effect fire chain".

It stretched all the way through the entire Heavenly Prison! The black flames were so enormous they seemed to ignite the entire Heavenly Prison!

Slamming down hard on Qin Yu!!!

As the Extinguished Light, the colossal black wheel of light opened once more!

Ling Liangyan plucked the strings with her ten fingers, and the seven-colored light of the zither transformed into a curtain of light! A second flame ignited in Qin Yu's demonic eye between his brows!

Three supreme powers unleashed simultaneously. Extinguished Light: "Final Radiance Descends upon the World!!!" Ling Liangyan: "Stringless Empty Singing!!!" Qin Yu: "Final Gaze — Shatter Cause!!!"

Boom------------!!!!!

The Heavenly Prison exploded into billions of spatial fragments, as if the universe had been torn in two! The giant black fire chain clashed head-on with the combined attack of the three:

The sea of fire exploded into countless black, lost chapters; the giant ship shattered and was reborn; the light of the zither was burned and then condensed again; the light of the demonic eye pierced through the core of the fire chain!

Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!!

The world was destroyed nine times in a row!!

Each time, it felt like the entire Heavenly Prison was being "deleted and rewritten"!

Finally—the giant chain shattered!!

The flames of cause and effect were torn open with a huge gap!!!

The Lord of Burning Effects was forced back three steps by the combined attack of the three.

This is the only person in the history of Heavenly Prison who made Him retreat.

He slowly raised his head, his voice icy. "... The power of reversed consequences... must be eradicated."
