Chapter 4402: The Wine Sovereign
Amid hearty laughter, fine wine poured from the gourd and was downed in one gulp by the cultivator.
In that instant, a rich aroma of wine filled the void, seeping even into the soul; not even the Calamity Crossing Boat could block it, and Lin Moyu felt for a moment as if he might be drunk himself.
"This wine is extraordinary!"
"And not just the wine the gourd… it's a domain treasure."
To store wine in a domain treasure, Lin Moyu found this remarkable a man who loved wine so much he'd nurture a domain treasure just to hold it.
He didn't have only one domain treasure his sword was one too. That meant he had at least two domain treasures.
This also revealed just how powerful his domain was; domain treasures are not easily produced only those with extremely powerful domains can nurture more than one.
Suddenly, Little Peng cried out, "I know who he is!"
His shout was a bit slurred; he was clearly affected by the wine's fragrance and almost seemed tipsy.
Lin Moyu flicked a wisp of World Burning Fire onto Little Peng, giving his soul a jolt of pain he snapped back to sobriety.
"Who is he?"
"If I'm not mistaken, that's the Wine Sovereign."
"Explain." Lin Moyu pressed for details.
Little Peng said, "The Wine Sovereign comes from the Upper Region of the Three Domains, he's an ancient and powerful Full Completion cultivator. I don't know how long he's lived my bloodline memory goes back tens of millions of years and at that time he was already Full Completion and extremely strong."
"He's obsessed with wine his domain treasure is a wine gourd, and he has a sword, loving to fight and drink at the same time. This matches him exactly."
Little Peng wasn't 100% certain, but such a person was rare in all of chaos few could be mistaken for him.
According to Little Peng, the Wine Sovereign was human, and a top existence among Full Completion experts. He earned the title "Sovereign" because he once fought a Supreme.
Back in those ancient times, the southwestern and northern Extremes once jointly attacked the Central Domain, and the Upper Region joined in too.
The Supremes of the Upper and Central Regions confronted those of the south and north, while none could oppose the Supreme of the Western Extreme.
So, the strongest Full Completion experts of those domains fought together to stall the Western Supreme.
The difference between a Supreme and Full Completion being is vast, yet the Wine Sovereign's performance was dazzling he alone held back the Western Supreme for several days, withdrawing only when another Supreme came to reinforce.
Records say he was wounded but not badly.
To last several days against the Western Supreme and only be lightly injured speaks volumes about his strength.
Some say the Western Supreme didn't give it his full strength, but regardless, that battle cemented Wine Sovereign's reputation: indisputably peak Full Completion.
Wine Sovereign, sword in hand, fought and drank his battle intent was stern.
The previously evenly matched domain beasts were now being beaten back their blood and flesh flew as several were grievously wounded.
His clear voice rang out through ancient desolation: "I'll only kill three. If you insist on courting death, I won't be so polite."
His words, though not murderous, sent chills of fear.
The domain beasts, clearly sentient, seemed to hesitate.
Yet they didn't retreat, continuing their assault.
"Unrepentant!"
Growing impatient, the Wine Sovereign swept his sword "Sword cuts the Dao!"
In an instant, the sword gleamed brighter than ever, shredding the void like torn cloth. Under its light, domain beasts screamed, blood sprayed, limbs flew.
Lin Moyu was momentarily stunned. "A sword that severs the Dao?"
It was exactly the same sword move his own elder sister used, just far more powerful but unmistakably the same style.
"Could Wine Sovereign be related to my sister?"
He wondered if Lin Mohan had inherited this man's legacy, but reasoned the odds were slim.
As sword light danced, the domain beasts fled.
A protracted battle ended with a single sword.
The void was left in ruins, wounds that would not heal for thousands of years.
The aura of Wine Sovereign's sword would linger, and unlucky cultivators wandering this region might yet fall to it.
Now there was another domain beast corpse in the void a Full Completion level one.
Wine Sovereign took a swig and muttered, "Didn't know their limits… leaving earlier would've spared one more death."
With a gesture, the gourd flew out, generating a strong suction that drew the massive beast's corpse inside.
He shook it; a crisp splash was heard. "Perfect for brewing wine. Domain beast wine not the best effects, but tastes pretty good."
His every word and action radiated cheerful ease. Taking another big swig, he set his eyes on the Calamity Crossing Boat.
"Little friend, had your fill yet?"
It was as though the boat could not block the Wine Sovereign's gaze; Lin Moyu felt as if he was being seen through.
He piloted the Calamity Boat over, stopping before Wine Sovereign and bowing. "Junior Lin Moyu greets Senior."
Wine Sovereign chuckled, "To enter ancient desolation in Chaos Minor Completion, even with a great treasure… you've got guts."
Lin Moyu replied with a wry smile, "I truly didn't want to come, but answered the call of another I had no choice."
Wine Sovereign drank, his eyes shining, glancing behind him. "You came from Desolation Path, for this array?"
To Lin Moyu's surprise, Catastrophe Supreme's hidden array had been discovered.
He didn't let it show, but answered honestly, "Precisely, Senior. I came for that great array."
Wine Sovereign nodded. "That array has existed for countless years I noticed it long ago, but never managed to enter. It must be the work of a Supreme; I've always been curious. Would you share what you know, little friend?"
His curiosity was evident, his request direct.
Lin Moyu hesitated, "There are things I can't speak of, Senior."
"Because someone forbade you to?"
Lin Moyu nodded and bowed "Forgive me, Senior."
Wine Sovereign said, "In that case, I won't force you. Instead, when you activate the array, would you let me observe? I won't enter, just watch."
His tone was calm but unmistakably firm; Lin Moyu knew this was the limit, and he had little choice but to agree.
To refuse again Wine Sovereign would either act against him or at least defend this spot endlessly, blocking all progress.
Lin Moyu could only accept. "If Senior wishes to watch, it would be rude of me to refuse."
Wine Sovereign nodded, "Then let me finish refining these two beasts. There's no rush, is there?"
Lin Moyu shook his head. "No rush, Senior. Please, take your time."
