The Pangu Banner appeared, and the entire Yaochi seemed to tremble. The mist parted as the water surface cracked, forming a deep fissure.
“Pangu Banner… Yuanshi Jin Zhang… No wonder it bears the characteristics of the cause of all fruits!” The Blood Sea Rakshasa’s eyes gleamed with ferocity as realization dawned on him. Suddenly, the blood sea world within his body surged forth, pouring outward and flooding the area, forming a crimson ocean capable of submerging the skies of Yaochi. The waves swayed heaven and earth, surging toward Meng Qi.
Accompanied by the sound of splashing water came the Rakshasa’s fierce and chilling voice: “This seat shall test the legendary first three seals!”
The illusory Pangu Banner descended, merging with the Overlord’s Ultimate Blade. The Yaochi world instantly grew dark, creating a sense of disorientation where up, down, left, right, front, and back were indistinguishable. Yet the crimson sea remained, attempting to transform this realm into the Blood Sea World.
A slash of blade light pierced the darkness, cleaving the surging blood sea in two. The cut was smooth and even, like glazed glass.
The world seemed to freeze. A dazzling blade radiance sliced through layer upon layer of obstacles, extending all the way to the vicinity of the Milky Way before finally dissipating. In the wake of the blade light came an explosion that shattered all restraints—an incomparably massive detonation. Energy erupted wildly, particles of matter were born, and space-time itself seemed to emerge, instantly engulfing the crimson sea and replacing it with a distorted, blazing white expanse.
Under Yaochi’s laws, the blade light and the massive explosion quickly subsided. The water surface seemed to lower by an inch, and the surroundings became empty and boundless, with no remnants left. The Blood Sea Rakshasa and the Blood-Devouring Divine Blade seemed to vanish entirely in this cataclysmic explosion.
At this moment, crimson light suddenly emerged from the void, rapidly condensing into a thin blood-colored blade.
The blood blade spewed forth an endless stream of blood, once again forming a crimson ocean vast enough to submerge heaven and earth. The Rakshasa’s hoarse and sinister voice echoed through every wave:
“The Heaven-Sundering Seal is indeed extraordinary, and the Overlord’s Ultimate Blade has awakened to the Earth Immortal level! Unfortunately, you yourself lack the strength of an Earth Immortal. Otherwise, this seat might not have survived, and the Blood Sea would have been completely eradicated!”
Hua la!
With a mighty sound, the crimson sea surged toward Meng Qi, aiming to completely engulf him.
Meng Qi’s “Tai Shang Wu Ji Yuanshi Qingyun” defense was neutralized by the dark light of the Haotian Mirror, temporarily leaving him unable to regenerate it. He could only rely on the physical strength of the Eight-Nine Mystical Art and the Wu Ji Seal. Facing this, he suddenly took a step back and transformed into light, diving into the waters of Yaochi!
“This is merely a temporary Heaven Immortal body. Let’s see what you use to assimilate the waters of Yaochi!”
Metal and water nurtured each other, and every drop of water seemed like a sharp sword qi, furiously slashing toward Meng Qi. However, Meng Qi’s body radiated a pale gold light, surrounded by lotuses of golden light. These lotuses, appearing both distant and near, effectively countered the metal-water sword qi as he sank downward.
The churning sea of blood surged like the overturned Milky Way, splashing across three thousand miles, staining an entire region crimson as it swiftly spread downward in pursuit of Meng Qi.
With a swoosh, the illusory Vermilion Bird rose again, its purple sword light burning toward the blood sea. At the same time, a small bottle, with only its base remaining, emerged from the water, directing its broken edge toward the blood sea.
In an instant, a tempest howled between heaven and earth—yellow and indistinct, capable of sweeping through the Celestial Realm above and piercing the Netherworld below. It tore across the lakes and rivers of the mortal world, scattering ghosts and immortals alike, and dissolving Dharma Bodies. This was an ancient treasure known as the “Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi Bottle,” famed for unleashing divine winds of myriad forms. Now, it unleashed a Samadhi Divine Wind, its power rivaling that of an Earth Immortal at their zenith!
The wind scattered the red waves, blowing away the blood, thinning the surging ocean. After the momentum reversed, the Blood Sea Rakshasa was indeed momentarily caught off guard by the fragments of divine weapons that only carried ferocity, resulting in a brief stalemate.
However, Meng Qi was not faring well either. The deeper he sank, the more terrifying the metal element power within the Yaochi water became. By the time he reached halfway, it felt as if divine weapons were slashing his body, shaking the golden lotuses and causing them to fall one by one. Moreover, some fragments of divine weapons, following the principle of proximity, suddenly attacked.
A stream of emerald-green flames, resembling a streak of light and brimming with profound malice, suddenly surged with the waves. It was a shattered blade, silently burning toward Meng Qi.
Meng Qi sensed his surroundings with his mind, showing no slack. With a spin of the Overlord’s Ultimate Blade, he lightly cleaved at the side of the green flame.
With a dull “plop,” the green flame seemed to want to burn along the thunderous purple lightning, but it immediately extinguished upon touching the Overlord’s Ultimate Blade’s body.
Yet at this moment, from all directions—front, back, left, and right—waves of ferocious light surged again, none of them benign, especially concentrated from below.
Meng Qi’s expression turned grave. Suddenly, he floated upward, bursting out of the Yaochi like a navigator, “carrying” these streaks of either dark red or emerald light toward the surging blood sea, seemingly intending to use their power against the Blood Sea Rakshasa.
Purple fire transformed into the Vermilion Bird, green flame resembled a jade serpent, azure brilliance took the form of water spirits, and dark red resembled a dormant sun. All followed Meng Qi, launching a mighty assault on the blood sea, their momentum unparalleled.
Suddenly, the crimson ocean abruptly contracted, reforming into the Blood Sea Rakshasa’s figure.
Facing this overwhelming attack, his expression remained calm, his eyes gleaming with a sinister grin, as if he had anticipated this all along.
In his perception, the core fragment of the Haotian Mirror was still faintly trembling, not yet gathering its dark light. Everything was unfolding perfectly. The Blood Sea Rakshasa let out a sinister grin:
“Come forth!”
“This seat shall show you the might of a Heaven Immortal!”
His figure suddenly shrank, and a hazy light emerged from the blood sea world within him. In midair, it seemed as if a crimson sun had appeared.
A Heaven Immortal’s internal world has fully evolved, truly forming its own realm. Though it cannot rival the real universe, when fully unleashed, it can rival a mature star.
High above, illuminating the mortal world, this is what it means to be a Heaven Immortal!
Ka cha!
The crimson sun was not merely similar—it was a genuine sun. The Void of Yaochi emitted an eerie sound, twisting and distorting, stained crimson. The surrounding time slowed dramatically, and Meng Qi was inexorably drawn toward this crimson star at a pace that appeared sluggish yet unstoppable.
He didn’t even need to get close—once within a certain distance, he would be torn apart by terrifying forces into nothingness!
This was the ultimate Heaven Immortal, far surpassing a newly entered one!
In this critical moment, Meng Qi’s body suddenly writhed, transforming into a monster with a human face and a snake’s body, entirely crimson, its eyes reflecting the passage of time.
Everything that was already slow became even slower, as if the colors had faded. Only after the terrifying power of the crimson sun disrupted this sensation did Meng Qi vanish from the spot, leaving behind only those ferocious beams of light.
Where did he go? The Blood Sea Rakshasa’s eyes revealed a trace of anger and malice; this young man was indeed resourceful!
Suddenly, a chill ran through him as the surroundings grew dark. The core fragment of the Haotian Mirror floating above Yaochi gathered its dark light again, shining down!
Dodge! Facing this dangerous binding light, the Blood Sea Rakshasa, who had already used up his substitute puppet, dared not withstand it directly—his own cultivation method was no match for the subtlety of the Infinite Seal!
Seizing the opportunity before the mirror’s light could shine on him, he suddenly dispersed the crimson sun into countless blood shadows, scattering in all directions, hiding his true spirit within one of them.
The dark light shone forth, predictably missing its mark. The blood shadows recombined, and the Blood Sea Rakshasa reappeared, secretly pleased but sensing an inexplicable oddity—as if this dark light was no longer as dangerous as before!
Just as this thought arose, his gaze suddenly froze. He saw floating above Yaochi two core fragments of the Haotian Mirror. One had already lost its dark light, while the other had gathered its dark light, shining directly upon him!
What was happening?
Two core fragments of the Haotian Mirror?
At this moment, the mirror fragment shining on the Blood Sea Rakshasa suddenly erupted with dark light, enveloping him. At the same time, he saw the other core fragment of the Haotian Mirror twist and transform, taking the form of “Yuan Huang” Su Meng.
This… Within the dim light, the Blood Sea Rakshasa’s Dharma Body and consciousness completely ceased to exist.
From the beginning, Meng Qi’s claim of dragging out the temporary Heaven Immortal power of the Blood Sea Rakshasa was merely a ruse to lull him. The true intention was to use the core fragment of the Haotian Mirror to strike him down at his strongest moment!
The danger the Blood Sea Rakshasa sensed was real—the core fragment of the Haotian Mirror was indeed gathering its dark light, preparing to shine upon him. However, he was misled by the confusion of the Primordial Unity Field, mistaking it for the false core fragment created by Meng Qi, thus overlooking the real one.
Even if you suddenly gain Heaven Immortal-level power, what of it?
Your mindset and application techniques are still at the Human Immortal level!
External power remains external power!
With his Dharma Body immobilized, the next step would be a drop in power level, becoming as thin as paper, with no ability to resist. Although the Blood Sea Rakshasa could no longer think, the consciousness of the Nine Hells Blood Demon would never surrender. With his last thought, he violently exploded his Dharma Body!
Hong long!
The dark light shattered, crimson light soared, and the Blood-Devouring Divine Blade seemed to lose its spirit, rushing out of the illumination of the Haotian Mirror’s core fragment with a faint crimson glow.
At this moment, Meng Qi, who had been waiting, raised the tyrannical and frenzied Ultimate Blade, with purple lightning crackling and scattering.
The Blood Sea Rakshasa regained his senses and roared fiercely: “It’s useless! Although my power has diminished, I am still at the Heaven Immortal level. The combination of the Blood Sea Cultivation and the Blood God Technique cannot be completely erased by you in your current state!”
“Just wait a few more breaths, and this seat will draw power from the divine blade to recover. Although it won’t last long, it will be enough to kill you!”
Meng Qi swung the Ultimate Blade downward. Purple lightning serpents scattered, transforming into invisible ripples. The distinct gleam of the blade was no longer visible, yet his voice resonated with power: “The might of thunder, the force of electromagnetism—one of the fundamental interactions shaping matter at its microscopic core. This too is part of the Dao Patterns embodied by the Overlord’s Ultimate Blade!”
(Note: “Dao纹” is rendered as “Dao Patterns” to convey the concept of cosmic principles or fundamental markings of the Dao, while maintaining the cultural specificity of the term. The translation preserves the poetic cadence of the original while ensuring scientific accuracy regarding electromagnetism as a fundamental force.)
“No matter how hard you try to survive, as long as you haven’t broken through the boundary between reality and illusion, even if you have merged Yuan Shen and Fa Xiang and gained illusory attributes, there is still a material basis.”
“This slash will let you experience the combination of thunder power and the legendary mastery of precision!”
The blade light, covering everything yet difficult to detect, gently descended, striking the Blood-Devouring Divine Blade.
Chi chi chi, the crimson color separated into droplets of blood, and each droplet of blood transformed into even smaller, invisible structures…
“No!”
The Blood Sea Rakshasa’s terrified scream suddenly erupted, but it was like someone had grabbed his throat, gradually fading away.
…
Inside the Ice and Snow Immortal Palace, He Qi, Yun He, and Gao Lan guarded the retreat route.
At this moment, Gao Lan suddenly drew his sword and stood up, stepping outside.
“Where are you going?” He Qi asked with a furrowed brow.
Gao Lan responded coldly, “With the gathering of Fashen throughout the land, aren’t you concerned that the Yao Clan might exploit the chaos?”
