Chapter 151 Nine Brews Return to Origin, Dao Wine Perfected by Nature.
The moment nine drops of wine floated before him!
"Nine Brews Return to Origin, Dao Wine Perfected by Nature!"
Li Bai murmured.
Nine drops of wine, each a different color, seemed drawn together by an invisible force, rapidly approaching and swirling.
Finally, before countless astonished gazes, they perfectly merged!
A single drop, radiating nine-colored light, only the size of a thumb, yet seemingly containing the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, the birth and death of all things, and the boundless Daoist essence, appeared at Li Bai's fingertip!
The instant this drop of nine-colored wine appeared, the entire endless arena fell silent!
The attack that Di Tian was gathering faltered!
"Not good!"
His dragon eyes were fixed on that drop of wine.
A warning bell rang in his heart!
The energy level contained in that drop of wine might not be as powerful as his full-force Dragon God Claw.
But the mysterious aura and flawless Daoist essence it contained made him feel an unprecedented danger!
"I can't let him drink it!"
Only this thought remained in Di Tian's mind!
He abruptly stopped charging, his figure transforming into a black lightning bolt. He lunged at Li Bai recklessly, attempting to stop him!
At Beidou Academy, Lu Xiao, who had been watching the entire battle, finally showed a serious expression.
"Nine-Colored Dao Wine... Li Bai has certainly found a new way to use the Wine Immortal Gourd."
"After this drop, Di Tian is likely to suffer."
He commented softly, a hint of anticipation in his voice.
On the arena, facing Di Tian's desperate attack, Li Bai smiled leisurely and inhaled.
The drop of Nine-Colored Dao Wine transformed into a stream of light and entered his mouth.
"Burp!"
Li Bai burped, two intoxicating blushes instantly rising to his face, his eyes becoming hazy.
But his aura, like a dormant volcano, began a dramatic transformation.
"Boom!"
The Azure Lotus Sword Domain shone brightly.
Sword energy surged tenfold, instantly suppressing the Dark Domain!
The Azure Lotus Divine Sword in his hand emitted a clear, joyful cry.
Mysterious runes flowed across its blade, as if it had come alive!
"Di Tian!"
"Now, it's my turn."
Li Bai, his eyes blurry with drunkenness, grinned at Di Tian, who had charged forward with ferocious dragon claws, but his voice remained perfectly clear.Before the words were even finished, he casually thrust his sword forward.
This strike, seemingly slow and without any technique, resembled a drunkard wildly swinging his sword.
"Huh?"
But Di Tian was horrified to discover that all his evasive routes, all his counterattack angles, even the surging dark soul power around him, were completely sealed off by the "momentum" of this sword!
It seemed that only this one sword remained in the world.
Slowly, yet unstoppably, it pointed towards his brow!
Di Tian roared.
He gathered all the dark soul power and dragon bloodline power he had accumulated throughout his life to block it!
"Drunk, I pick up my sword by lamplight!"
Li Bai's drunken recitation softly rang out.
The sword tip touched the center of Di Tian's crossed claws.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
The instant the sword tip made contact with the dragon claws, there was no expected earth-shattering explosion, nor any chaotic outpouring of soul power.
Only a soft "ding," like a drop of water falling into a deep pool.
However, this very soft sound caused Di Tian's claws, covered in jet-black dragon scales and capable of withstanding the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's life-force attack, to shatter under the strain!
The crack, centered on the point where the sword tip struck, instantly spread across his entire arm like a spiderweb!
An indescribable, strange power seeped in through the sword tip.
"Pfft!"
Di Tian was struck as if by lightning, letting out a muffled groan.
His body flew backward uncontrollably.
The dragon scales on his arms shattered inch by inch, and dark golden dragon blood sprayed out!
"How is this possible!"
His eyes were filled with disbelief and horror.
The power of this sword strike far exceeded his expectations!
What kind of divine object was that Nine-Colored Dao Wine?
What shocked him even more was that the strange sword intent that had invaded his body did not dissipate.
Instead, it clung to him like a malignant tumor, constantly eroding his dragon power and bloodline.
It made even circulating his soul power extremely sluggish!
"Good wine! Good sword!"
Li Bai laughed loudly, his face even more intoxicated.
But his figure became even more elusive and agile.
He no longer gave Di Tian any chance to catch his breath and regroup!
"Sixth Soul Skill, Sword Song: Drinking Alone Under the Moon!"
His figure flickered, creating three afterimages that were difficult to distinguish from the real ones.
From different angles, swords were thrust at the flying Emperor Tian!
The sword light was like a cascading Milky Way!
With an unbridled, resolute determination, and a spirit of never giving up, each sword light locked onto the crucial point in the flow of Di Tian's aura!
"Darkness Guardian!"
Di Tian roared, suppressing his injuries and the corrosive influence of the mysterious sword intent within him, his surroundings condensing into grotesque dragon-head shields, attempting to block the attack while his figure flashed rapidly.
However, after consuming the Nine-Colored Dao Wine, Li Bai's sword speed, sword intent, and mastery of power had all reached an unbelievable level!
The "Drinking Alone Under the Moon" sword light seemed to possess a life of its own, automatically tracking, detouring, and changing speed, easily bypassing or penetrating the hastily formed dragon-head shields!
*Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!*
The three sword lights struck almost simultaneously!
Although Di Tian's last-minute, extreme evasion dissipated most of the power, three deep, bone-revealing sword wounds remained on his body, the wounds swirling with an inescapable azure lotus sword energy!
"Eighth Soul Skill, Sword Song: The Road to Shu is Hard!"
Li Bai's sword stance changed again, the Azure Lotus Divine Sword transforming into a strange sword light that twisted and turned, seemingly capable of piercing the heavens.
Like the legendary Shu Road, it wound its way upwards!
Pointing directly at Di Tian's throat!
This sword, carrying a heavy pressure and a killing intent that was "harder than ascending to heaven," locked down all of Di Tian's escape routes!
Di Tian's pupils constricted, sensing a fatal threat!
He roared, no longer holding back.
He burned a portion of his primordial dragon blood, forcibly activating the power of his bloodline!
"Black Dragon Annihilation Wave!"
He opened his mouth, and a jet-black pillar of light, condensed to its extreme, erupted forth.
It met the "The Road to Shu is Hard" sword light head-on!
This was a mutually destructive tactic!
He wanted to severely injure or even force Li Bai back before his sword struck him!
"Boom!"
The sword light and the black pillar collided fiercely!
This time, a deafening roar finally erupted!
A violent energy storm instantly disrupted and tore apart the previously clearly defined light and dark domains!
The arena space trembled violently, and large rifts appeared in the void!
"This power?"
Di Tian staggered backward in the energy storm.
His chest heaved violently, and more dark golden blood spilled from his mouth.
The injuries to his arms were more severe, and his aura clearly weakened.
Li Bai's figure was also forced back dozens of meters from the storm, his blue robe torn in several places, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Clearly, he had not had an easy time with Di Tian's desperate attack.
But the drunkenness and fighting spirit in his eyes burned even more fiercely!
"That was exhilarating! Let's go again!"
Li Bai wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and laughed heartily.
He took a deep breath!
The surging sword intent and drunkenness around him rose and condensed wildly once more!
The Azure Lotus Divine Sword hummed, and on its blade...
"Boom!"
The ninth ring, the deepest and most dazzling blood-red soul ring, suddenly lit up!
An unprecedentedly terrifying sword intent, like the awakening of a slumbering ancient sword god, erupted from Li Bai!
"Damn it!"
Di Tian's expression changed drastically!
He sensed a death threat from this sword strike far more terrifying than the previous "Drunkenly Examining the Sword by Lamplight"!
This sword strike was the ultimate sublimation of the opponent's ninth soul skill, the ultimate fusion of the sword path and the way of wine!
"Ninth Soul Skill..."
Li Bai's voice became ethereal and otherworldly, as if it came from beyond the heavens.
He slowly raised the Azure Lotus Divine Sword in his hand!
The tip of the sword pointed at Di Tian.
With his movement, the entire Azure Lotus Sword Domain frantically contracted inward.
Endless sword energy, and the residual glow of the Nine-Colored Dao Wine that had dissipated in the previous battle, all converged madly towards the sword tip like rivers flowing into the sea!
"Poetry and Sword in Annihilation!"
As the last three words were uttered, Li Bai's figure suddenly blurred, as if he had merged into this sword strike.
In the world, only a light that could not be described in words remained!
It was a sword light, and even more so, a declaration of ending!
It ignored space and time.
"Not good!"
The light rapidly magnified in Di Tian's eyes, filling his entire vision and senses!
His prized Dark Domain, before this light of "Poetry and Sword Absolute," silently melted away like a thin mist under the sun!
His last defense crumbled at the slightest touch!
"Pfft!"
A massive force passed through his body, exploding a huge energy hole behind him!
His aura surged like a burst dam, and dark golden dragon blood gushed from every pore of his body like a fountain.
The protective golden light of the heavenly curtain descended just in time!
It stabilized Di Tian's life force, slowly enveloping him and teleporting him away.
On the arena, the light dissipated.
Li Bai's figure reappeared.
His face was as pale as paper, his aura weak, and his sword-wielding hand trembled slightly.
Clearly, using this ultimate ninth soul skill, especially "Poetry and Sword Absolute" after fusing with the power of the Nine-Colored Dao Wine, was a huge burden for him, almost draining his soul power and spirit.
He looked at the place where Di Tian had disappeared, then at the Azure Lotus Divine Sword in his hand, its brilliance slightly dimmed.
Shaking his head, he smiled wryly, "This Di Tian is really tough; he almost drained me dry."
Then, he was enveloped in the golden light of the sky and teleported back to Beidou Academy.
