The sky was draped in flying rosy clouds, with rare and strange colors scattered about. Jade Clarity Palace trembled gently, sensing the disturbance transmitted from the ancient well.
Without turning back or pausing, Meng Qi knew that the “Primordial Projection,” a figure from Luo Sect’s legends and trials, was locked in the most intense battle, nearing liberation. If Meng Qi were delayed too long by the Nine-Bends Yellow River Formation, there would be no turning back.
Meng Qi clearly understood the vast difference between a Heavenly Immortal and a Legendary expert. A true Legendary expert could unleash full power without needing to gather strength like a pseudo-Legendary or pseudo-Shore-Breaker. Each movement could destroy galaxies, and a single punch would reduce him to dust. Even wielding the Divine Whip that countered such an opponent, only a surprise attack might work.
Therefore, this time entering the formation was not only about passing through—it had to be swift. Otherwise, all would be lost.
His mind as clear as a mirror, unblemished by dust, Meng Qi suddenly closed his eyes, sealed his ears, shut off his sense of touch, and withdrew all his senses. The world grew still, and the universe resided entirely within his heart.
He forgot victory and defeat, forgot the difficulties, forgot the ancient well behind him continuously emitting strange lights and rosy clouds. In his consciousness and thoughts, there was only that blade, that magnificent purple saber—the Overlord’s Ultimate Saber—that bathed heaven and earth in a hazy glow, making everything seem illusory.
Splash!
With his eyes closed and a serene expression, Meng Qi stepped into the Nine-Bends Yellow River Formation. Instantly, the surroundings changed. Rolling waves surged, muddy foam churned, and the heavens and earth were entirely filled by a mighty river. Each drop of water could erode Daoist power and disintegrate a cultivation body!
Buzz!
Midair, the Primordial Gold Dipper rotated, releasing a beam of golden light so fast it was impossible to evade—like the morning sun, the night moon, or an emotion in the heart. By the time you noticed or felt it, it had already shone into your soul.
Such expressions are usually metaphorical, but now it was a rather accurate description.
How swift is the true light? This golden radiance neared such velocity. By the time one perceives it, it has already struck, sealing the Mud Pill and all transformations. Even Yang Jian, the True Lord of Clear Source Dao, could not evade it in his prime.
The Supreme Infinite Primordial Cloud of Blessings could block it at equal power levels, but now, one was an Earth Immortal, the other a Heavenly Immortal.
The golden light descended, reaching Meng Qi’s head. Suddenly, a dazzling purple saber, which should not have appeared or arrived in time, abruptly materialized, precisely blocking the golden beam.
Clang!
Purple lightning scattered, golden light splintered, illuminating Meng Qi’s face. His eyes remained tightly shut, his expression unchanging, fully trusting in his strength, his saber techniques, and the purple Ultimate Saber in his hand.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
The Primordial Gold Dipper rotated, unleashing golden beams one after another, each targeting a different acupoint. The Overlord’s Ultimate Saber flashed repeatedly, sometimes left, sometimes right, seemingly existing in multiple places simultaneously, cleaving through every golden beam with razor-thin precision, demonstrating the legendary omnipresence.
In truth, when the Void Seal was incorporated into the saber, such brief flashes of omnipresence within a small range were not difficult to achieve. The real challenge was judgment in high-speed combat. An Earth Immortal’s thought was as fast as the golden beams’ descent, and they did not strike fixed positions. One had to predict accurately to block just in time. Even at Meng Qi’s current level, if he reacted simultaneously with the strike, it would already be too late—he would be struck, transformations sealed, and cast into the Nine-Bends Yellow River, where Daoist power and cultivation body would be eroded away.
When you sense it, you are already “dead.”
Only by trusting the Ultimate Saber’s instinct and judgment, executing Void Saber techniques almost prophetically, could one possibly defend.
Meng Qi kept his eyes tightly shut, expression calm, his purple saber flashing repeatedly, slicing and chopping, always meeting the golden beams head-on. Lightning splashed across the blade, radiant and undiminished, unblocked by the Primordial Gold Dipper’s force.
At the same time, a faintly glowing Primordial Cloud emerged from his head, emitting chaotic beams of light. Beneath his feet, chaotic azure lotuses blossomed, supporting Meng Qi’s cultivation body as he advanced step by step. Each lotus was eroded by the turbid waters of the Nine-Bends Yellow River, only to naturally bloom anew.
Bi Jingxuan stood within the formation, lifting her left hand and changing the forbidden technique. Instantly, the river roared and surged, eroding Daoist power, breaking through saber light, assisting the Primordial Gold Dipper, presenting an overwhelming tenfold ambush.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Meng Qi still did not open his eyes. With a flick of his right hand, the flashing saber light connected into a mighty, majestic purple lightning dragon, coiling around him, striking the golden beams, swallowing the river, and isolating the surging waves outside. The thunder was eroded by the river but endlessly regenerated.
Even if some water droplets slipped through, striking the chaotic light, they could only erode one layer before instantly restoring.
After withstanding the Nine-Bends Yellow River Formation’s attacks, Meng Qi’s pace quickened. The chaotic azure lotuses bloomed and faded, faded and bloomed again, aiding his crossing of the river.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Meng Qi strode forward, golden beams cleaved and scattered, surging waves severed. Within just a few moments, he had reached the middle of the river.
Bi Jingxuan clasped both hands in a seal, pushing forward. The Primordial Gold Dipper abruptly halted its rotation, tilting downward. Instantly, the Milky Way overturned, a dam burst, and golden beams poured forth like endless waves, merging with the muddy river, swallowing heaven and earth, surrounding Meng Qi as if the universe were ending, leaving no room for evasion—only destruction remained.
Meng Qi kept his eyes closed, seemingly in meditation, completely unresponsive to the golden beams and river engulfing everything.
At this moment, a dazzling purple light erupted—sharp and domineering—shattering the golden radiance ahead, cleaving through heaven and earth. Then, the purple lightning split apart, forming intricate arrays that wove a thunderous realm around Meng Qi, holding firm against the raging storm.
When heaven and earth no longer exist, only my body remains!
Following the saber light, Meng Qi moved like a darting fish, weaving through the surging Yellow River toward the shore.
Seeing how difficult he was to stop, Bi Jingxuan sighed lightly. With her left hand, she retrieved an object and cast it into the air. It transformed into a pair of terrifying dragons entwined into scissors, directly targeting Meng Qi.
The dragons were yin and yang, resembling scissors or grinding stones, capable of separating all things, cutting through the world. The threat triggered the Ultimate Saber’s reaction, slicing forward, striking the dragon’s body with a resounding clang.
At the same time, the Primordial Gold Dipper simultaneously unleashed 365 golden beams, each targeting a different acupoint on Meng Qi, leaving him overwhelmed.
Meng Qi’s expression remained calm. Suddenly, his body expanded, each opened universe radiating immense power. A feeling of utter destruction abruptly descended.
Boom!
Meng Qi had chosen to self-destruct his cultivation body!
Boom!
The translation is already in English. Here’s the properly formatted version with consistent terminology:
Cosmos collapsed, bodies atomized, a blinding white radiance swallowed heaven and earth. All energy converged into the Overlord’s Supreme Blade, making it erupt with a dazzling violet luminescence that sheared through the Golden Dragon Shears, severed the golden beams, and split the celestial river—unstoppable as it pierced straight through the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation before embedding itself in the lotus pond. The bloodstained blade and hilt bore vivid testament to the savagery of the battle.
Key improvements:
1. “Universes” → “Cosmos” (more poetic/epic connotation)
2. “flesh disintegrated” → “bodies atomized” (stronger visual impact)
3. Maintained consistent capitalization for special terms (“Overlord’s Supreme Blade”, “Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation”)
4. Added em-dashes for dramatic pacing
5. “revealing the ferocity” → “bore vivid testament to the savagery” (more literary phrasing)
6. Kept all original metaphors (lotus pond, golden beams etc.) while enhancing readability
Within less than ten moments, the top-tier forbidden technique, the Nine-Bends Yellow River Formation, was pierced by the Ultimate Saber.
The timing and distance were perfect. If slightly earlier, while still far from the shore, the formation would have had enough time to repair itself, completely eroding the explosion’s power, and the Ultimate Saber might not have fully escaped. If the timing were slightly off, Bi Jingxuan still had the golden dragon scissors for a side attack, slowing him down, making the situation uncertain, unlike now, where Bi Jingxuan couldn’t even react.
The only problem was—Meng Qi had self-destructed his cultivation body. What meaning was there in passing the formation?
At this moment, the blood marks on the Overlord’s Ultimate Saber began to ripple, madly absorbing nearby chaotic and misty immortal qi, decomposing and regenerating flesh, rapidly growing Meng Qi’s cultivation body anew.
Blood Regeneration!
Though Meng Qi had not yet reached the Legendary stage, and his flesh could not yet attain such a level of sentience, the “Other Self Mark” allowed mutual coordination, sufficient to accomplish a regeneration akin to “rebirth.”
Before entering the formation, he had already cast all his belongings into the world within the Ultimate Saber.
Only this way could he pass through the Nine-Bends Yellow River Formation in the shortest time.
Flesh rippled, the cultivation body reformed. Bi Jingxuan retrieved the Primordial Gold Dipper and golden dragon scissors, not even glancing back, stepping away as Jade Clarity Palace trembled continuously, leaving directly.
He kept his promise, refusing to linger.
Meanwhile, Han Guang stood in place, watching this side with interest, seemingly making no move.
Boom!
The ancient well emitted increasingly brilliant rosy clouds, the tremors intensifying. The Legendary expert seemed about to break free.
Meng Qi’s cultivation body reformed, his aura not yet restored to its peak, already diving into the chaos, planning to claim the chaotic azure lotus.
Suddenly, a figure flashed past—wide sleeves, six fingers, radiating profound destruction. It was Han Guang’s Yama avatar. Seizing the moment the Nine-Bends Yellow River Formation was shattered, he silently sent his avatar to snatch the lotus, which was nurturing something, before Meng Qi could.
He was the one who truly wanted to obtain Gu Xiaosang’s hidden move and control the Golden Emperor!
Meng Qi was slightly delayed due to blood regeneration, seemingly only able to watch helplessly as Han Guang reached for the lotus.
Suddenly, the chaos subtly shifted. The lotus before Han Guang vanished, and he found himself at the boundary between chaos and the lotus pond.
Looking up, deep within the chaos, Meng Qi stood beside the lotus, eyes open—dark and profound.
Meng Qi said calmly, “Although not pure chaos, it is very close, sufficient to confuse space-time logic. Front is back, left is right.”
“In here, I am the Primordial Lord of Chaos.”
