Chapter Fifty-Five: Blood Rose
at the contract once more, then casually rolled it up and put it away."Do you know why the burning celebration made you come to play life and death chess with me" he asked."Perhaps it's because I am...The enormous bulk of Mount Ebb and Flow cast a shadow that covered the entire Jade Belt Sea.
Even the countless stars were blocked, not a single one could be seen.
It possesses both the majesty of mountains and the power of mythology.

Karma, like its followers, becomes the mainstay of the sea of suffering.
With mountains responding to the sea, heaven and earth harmonize.
At this very moment, in this rootless world, it is both the embodiment of breaking rules and the master of those rules.
This means that, within the realm of suffering, it is practically unmatched.
'Peng Chongjian's fist still pressed against his chest, still clashing with Si Yu'an's sword. But the world was different now, the peak of his fist had connected to the mountain peak, and his fist was also that of the Evil Buddha!
The world of kendo, barricaded before the fist, was crushed to its limit this instant, like a translucent egg. And like an egg, it shattered against the mountain.
Just as a mountain crushes a tiny egg, there is no suspense in the outcome.
But the process deviates slightly in this regard... This kendo world transformed into an egg, it was shattered before the mountain pressed down, not after.
The strongest part of an egg is its shell
... is the egg shell broken from within outwards, that exuberant and brilliant new life!
This egg, crushed to its limits, welcomed new life before the force of destruction arrived.

Before that boundless and vigorous life, Mount Niehai, the first of its kind, stood tall and imposing. For a time, it was simply impossible to descend from its peak.
And then... *click*.
A sound, not loud but extremely clear, cracked and spread heavily across the mountainside.
The Wanli Mountains, home to the formidable Evil Buddha Mountain Range, have inexplicably developed fissures!
Si Yu'an, with the destruction of one world of kendo, forged this new sword—just one sword.
This mountain range's connection to the sea of sin has been severed.
The myth of E-Vamana was broken first!
The mountain body cracked open later.
Jiang Wang's crimson eyes, imbued with the essence of yang energy, only caught sight of this at this moment.

It was a cold current that wandered through the mountains, as thin as a single strand of silver hair, yet it swept across tens of thousands of miles of mountain range in an instant, passing over the body of ‘Peng Chongjian’ who wore the blood-colored robe of the Sect Master.

Clack clack clack.
Having completely reached the extraordinary peak of a divine physique, it was like a fragile porcelain vase that instantly became covered in cracks.
'Peng Chongjian' only managed to say, "You—"
It had already been broken into a stream of light.
“A hero from the mythical era” Si Yu’an hung his sword at his waist and said softly, “It’s been too long.”
The entire ancient period has been turned over, and the mythological era is just dust in history!
Those deities who have transcended the mundane world are now few and far between. What mythical airs does Meng Tianhai, who never surpassed the peak during the mythical era, put on

Si Yu'an displayed his unmatched killing power, having already slashed through two Dao cultivators twice, but the battle was far from over.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
In the mythical age, for someone who didn't become a god, divine power wouldn't naturally be his strongest tool.
At this time, Ruan Qi, Wu Bingyi, and Chen Pu all turned.
The Wu Disease's methods were unparalleled, his two chains binding the Red State Cauldron tightly. He kept climbing, encasing it like a cocoon—all to allow Meng Tianhai to perform for a while longer. He was forcing out the Red State, imprisoning it within the cauldron. At first, he only made a forceful move to achieve this.
This is a process of forcing a reveal of the cards, then systematically pressing and unraveling them one by one.
To date, every move Meng Tianhai has made has been calculated.
The imposing chains of the current Legalist school ensnared the Heavenly Artifact. "Guan Changqing" and "Peng Chongjian" were defeated one after another, shattering the myth of the Evil Brahman Mountain Range.
Several grandmasters, at the same time, looked at Blood River — the origin of many Blood River Sect's martial arts, a representative of human water management spirit, and for 50,000 years, it was regarded as the first line of defense against disasters. The surging Blood River!
A man, about nine feet tall, powerful and imposing, clad in a blood-red robe, was walking out of the river of blood.
He was such a towering man, striding through the blood-soaked river like a king surveying his domain.
He has a broad face and deep, piercing eyes.
It just so happens that Meng Tianhai's true face hasn't been revealed in 50,000 years.
This moment corresponds to history, truly finding back the person who was lost in the long river of time.
Reclaim your true name, unveil your true face, and summon your true form!
At this moment, he is truly himself. Now, he will show his true strength.
When manifesting 'Peng Chongjian's' body, Meng Tianhai kept rushing this way, wanting to cross the Jade Belt River. But his purpose was never to pass through the gate of the mortal world and return to the present world—but the Blood River!
Si Yu'an sliced open the Evil Fan Tian Mountains with a single sword, shattering 'Peng Chongjian'. He had returned to the Blood River silently and without a trace.
This surging river of blood, in legend, was formed by the primordial ancestor of the Blood River Sect, who sacrificed his own lifeblood to create it. It was this blood river that gave birth to the Blood River Sect itself. For 54,000 years, generation after generation of Blood River Sect cultivators have nourished it with their blood, and generation after generation of human warriors have protected it with their lives, allowing the blood river to swell to its present size.

Its importance is unquestionable, its meaning needless to say.
Just say this moment.
Meng Tianhai walked out of the river of blood, his terrifying aura unabated, instead soaring even higher. Already at the peak, he could become even more magnificent. And the surging river of blood followed him, wave after wave!
The peak can be said to be the end of the extraordinary path, a supreme level in this world.
This mountain is already the highest in the world, having "reached the heavens".
Those who can reach this level are unparalleled, regardless of their race. They are all peerless geniuses who emerge from millions.
But, as Dou Zhao said, strength and weakness are relative concepts.
Just as there are differences in height, weight, wealth, and appearance among people standing on the mountaintop,
Meng Tianhai had already reached the peak during the mythical era. After 54,000 years of seclusion, he naturally could see everything else as insignificant. The Blood River waves lifted him high, and amidst the disaster, his eyes remained focused.
"When did that happen" he asked Si Yu'an.
He shook his head with a hint of sarcasm: "You've only lived for so long, and you dare to speak about time How many eras have you witnessed What do you consider the truth You think what you've experienced is progress. Is what you see necessarily correct The current state system is making a lot of noise, but who knows, maybe it will vanish in the blink of an eye."
His gaze swept across Wu Bingyi, Ruan Qiu, Si Yu'an, and Chen Pu one by one: "I understand you all too well! I was once like that too. After overcoming countless obstacles, I finally reached the pinnacle and felt the limits of this world. Though the heavens are vast, they cannot contain my ambitions!"
“Thinking of yourselves as the protagonists of this era, believing you can transcend all this eventually. Thinking of yourselves as the trendsetters of destiny's river, rowing alone in the middle stream. But little do you know, once history's flood rushes over, everything you possess will be crushed along with your perceptions!”
“Humans are like that. They think everything in the past was natural, but now things are changing rapidly, and everything in the future seems absurd.”
> “You are no different from those who came before you! When you are discarded by history, the cries you emit will be nothing more than echoes of past laments.
“You are not special. What you hold now is very fragile! You don't understand at all what I am pursuing. You can't possibly comprehend the kind of immense power it takes to cross the river of destiny, pierce through time, and become eternal!”
The jade-colored sea surface, crisscrossed by swords' light, was once again shrouded in shadow.
The chasm in the Ethereal Peaks has closed, now hanging above the Jade Belt Sea.
On the other side of Yu Dai Hai, amidst the tumultuous and murky currents, countless monsters surged forth. Among them were many from the Dong Zhen level, and even three from the Yan Dao level!
>
So many ignorant and foolish views emerged together, yet they remained calm and silent. Not a single one roared or went mad, but like well-trained troops, they approached silently and steadfastly — it was clear that they were all under Meng Tianhai's control.
At this moment, everyone is within the range of Jade Belt Sea, including thousands of cultivators from the Zhenyuan Fire Realm, and four Grand Masters... They have been surrounded!
"Hehehe." Ruan Qiu, who rarely spoke and was almost ignored after his entrance, finally laughed.
He was youthful and handsome, very fresh-faced, and his voice was quite boyish.
Since you can't hold it in, just be straightforward and say: "You're outdated, old geezer. What's wrong with admitting it"
The star chart robe billowed, its hem swirling open like the shadows cast by the E-Fan Mountains. The chief official of the Great Qi Celestial Observatory scoffed: "You've consumed generation after generation, yet the Blood River True Monarchs of each era never leave their doors. They fear karma and exposure, calling it 'bearing heavy responsibilities, not daring to move'. You've lived for so long, hiding within calamities. Every day is wasted in idleness. What are you burying yourself in Pondering the Dao that has eluded you for 50,000 years"
"It's just a pig, and it walked to the pinnacle after 50,000 years!"
"Each one of you is a river of fate! Times have changed!"
He spread his five fingers, staring at Meng Tianhai with disdain. "The River of Fate is a battlefield that you can touch"
It was with that press, the surging river of blood saw starlight!
The starry sky was completely obscured by the Evil Brahma Mountains, not a single star could be seen. This was Meng Tianhai's way of countering the Stargazing Grandmaster.
But the reflection of the Milky Way has long flowed in the blood river.
Responding to my call, it rose from the water.
The endless starlight covered the vast blood river. The stars, twinkling one by one, formed an incomparably complex and magnificent star map, like a giant net, binding the blood river as if it were a dragon python!
This is a truly world-class technique!
Just like Meng Tianhai, although he swallowed the Nascent Soul of Guan Changqing and could wield swords at the level of the Derivation Dao, in the eyes of Si Yu'an, an ultimate sword master, his swordsmanship was riddled with flaws. When Meng Tianhai talked about the river of fate before Ruan Qiong, he couldn't help but make Ruan Qiong laugh.
Throughout the entire battle, the Grand Qi Heavenly Observatory's chief inspector remained aloof, watching like a spectator as he observed Meng Tianhai's every move. However, unbeknownst to all, he had silently laid out his plan for Blood River and was now sealing its power!
He not only wanted to bind this river of blood, cutting off Meng Tianhai's source of power. He also intended to separate Meng Tianhai's fate from the River of Blood in the long river of destiny, so that he could truly eliminate him and prevent him from being reborn by borrowing the River of Blood's power!
At this very moment, Meng Tianhai stands upon the star chart.
A river of blood, right at his feet. He stood on the precipice between himself and the crimson tide, though a chasm, firm and unyielding, forever separated them.
But the current Meng Tianhai is Meng Tianhai.
...not to mention officials like the Qing dynasty's Guan Changqing or Peng Chongjian.
He merely glanced at the star chart beneath his feet, then raised his head again, saying calmly: “The development of divination has indeed changed with each passing day. Divination by fate has been abandoned, blood divination is on the decline, and star divination is flourishing. I have to admit, I haven't studied it much. After all, in front of you diviners, it's hard to conceal the traces of destiny. To avoid premature exposure, I can only dabble. You're right, when it comes to understanding the river of destiny, I'm no match for you—“
He smiled: "But my fate, Meng Tianhai's fate, is it still in the river of destiny"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was as if a surging wave had crashed through the void!
Meng Tianhai grabbed the majestic star chart with a casual hand, then ripped it off, as if tearing off an outer garment! The surging river of blood disappeared, and the starlight was gone!
Ruan Qi first truly furrowed his brow, because he discovered that Meng Tianhai was truly not in the river of destiny! What he had captured before was only a reflection.
If one had never grasped Meng Tianhai's fate, then one would never have truly cut him.
Just like Yu Beidou, being able to temporarily lead people out of the river of fate in the realm of True Being is already considered a miracle. The top computational power of a true person might be the foundation for creating such miracles. However, even Yu Beidou, even after he briefly attained the position of True Monarch in the Illusory Realm, couldn't truly break free from the river of fate.

No one in the world can truly escape the river of fate, unless they transcend it.
Ke Mengtianhai had not yet transcended!
He accomplished an unprecedented feat!
How did he do that

I... can't calculate that!

"Of course, there will be some unexpected events. That's just the small ripples in the river of destiny, isn't it That's life—" Meng Tianhai smiled calmly, holding all the starlight in his hand, shaping it into a magnificent rose.
Then, with two fingers pinching the flower, he flicked it away nonchalantly.—
The rose, like an arrow, has left the bow.
It soared high in the sky, piercing through the gloom, and with a trail of starlight, it was breathtakingly beautiful.
In the next moment, blood splattered, and the dreamy starlight was stained red. And on the rose branch, three figures appeared at once!
Red-soled golden trim robes, snow-white garments, rustling green tunics!
Dou Zhao, Chong Xuan Zun, and Jiang Wang, though in different places doing different things, were all pierced by the flower branch of the star-shining rose at the same time, their hearts connected as they soared into the sky!
The three youngest immortals in the world, who could be said to be the three strongest young prodigies in the world today, didn't even have time to react before they were forcibly strung together, their backs bent like shrimps!
Just like a skewer.
>>>And whether it was Wu Bingyi, Ruan Qi, or Si YUAN and Chen Pu, none of them had time to stop it. Especially Chen Pu, who planted a tree in the Zhenyuan Fire Realm, but the tree didn't react at all!
The previous moment, Chong Xuan was still trying to break through his true self, and Jiang Wang was still studying the swordsmanship of the Master of the Pavilion. In the next moment, their chests were pierced, and they were carried away by a whirlwind of roses at high speed. Their divine powers reacted too slowly, and their cultivation base dissipated rapidly.
Especially the first one, Dou Zhao, who came in covered in dirt with his sleeves caked in mud. Each hand clutched a handful of rice seedlings, and his face held an extremely rare look of bewilderment. In his thirty years of life, he had never been so astonished.
They almost reacted at the same time.
Jiang Wang drew out Chang Xiangsi, Dou Zhao gripped Tianxiao, and Chong Xuan raised the three-wheeled Sun, Moon, and Star Sword of Oblivion - only to fall in the next moment!
The Sword Immortal's form dissipated as flowing light, and his golden body from battle was shrouded in darkness. The sun, moon, and stars all shattered.
>
Even Chong Xuan's attempts to use his star wheel to defend himself were too late, for before he could activate it, his extraordinary powers had already been shattered!
Three peerless geniuses, without any resistance, were hanged like cured meats on a skewer.
Thus, a single flower bloomed into the river of blood.
The river of blood surged and foamed, like a gaping maw.
Only the truly genuine can rival the genuine, under the path of derivation all become mere dust!
At this moment, only the True Monarchs can save them. But in front of Wu Bingyi, Ruan Qiong, Si Yu'an, and Chen Pu, four True Monarchs who have ascended the Dao, stand four powerful True Monarchs blocking their way.
Peng Chongjian, Guan Changqing, Huo Shiji, and Meng Tianhai!
Xue He provided Meng Tianhai with nearly limitless power.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Peerless true monarch, unrivaled in cultivation!
"You planned this for so long, you wouldn't even have this predicted, would you" Meng Tianhai stopped Chen Pu, a smirk on his face: "You don't understand at all what kind of power I'm pursuing. Reaching the mountaintop is just the beginning, how arrogant you are! Knowing it's me, Meng Tianhai, you still dare to come so recklessly. Unbeknownst to you, there are also gaps within the Dao, and the gap... far exceeds your imagination!"
