Chapter 281 Li Bai Breaks Through, Sword God.
The lingering power of Lu Bu's Asura God King legacy above the sky had not yet dissipated when the golden light curtain surged once more.
The golden light was even brighter than before!
Before everyone could recover from their shock, the words for fifth place on the Fortune Ranking had already solidified, making it hard to look away.
[Fifth on the Fortune Ranking: Li Bai]
[Affiliation: Beidou Academy]
[Luck Value: 115000]
[Aura Assessment: Possessing the twin martial souls of the Azure Lotus Divine Sword and the Wine Immortal Gourd, his swordsmanship is divine, making him the current Sword Master of the Douluo Continent; his swordsmanship integrates the carefree energy of heaven and earth, forging an unparalleled sword heart, creating peerless sword techniques such as the Celestial Flying Immortal, revered by all sword martial soul possessors on the continent, gathering the power of ten thousand sword faiths, his aura is prosperous, and his sword intent shakes the heavens!]
[Ranking Rewards: Soul Power permanently increased by one level, Sword Heart perfected and immaculate, Azure Lotus Sword Intent comprehended to the highest level, Ten Thousand Swords Faith Power solidified by 10%, and Sword God Domain awarded!]
With a luck value of 115,000, Beidou Academy once again dominates the list.
Not to mention the assessment that it is "revered by all sword spirit owners on the continent and gathers the power of faith of ten thousand swords".
It was like a thunderclap exploding in the sky above the Douluo Continent!
The crowd erupted in uproar, their eyes filled with a numb shock.
Just how many extraordinary individuals defying fate are hidden within the Beidou Academy?
Such a foundation is beyond the reach of all other forces!
...
Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin stood in the sect's main hall, his gaze fixed on the words on the sky, his sword intent trembling uncontrollably around him.
That was a resonance and longing that came from the heart of the sword.
He once witnessed Li Bai's sword strike that seemed to fly out of nowhere, and that fleeting glimpse was enough for him to comprehend the essence of swordsmanship.
Furthermore, due to the Heavenly Curtain's reward to Li Bai, all sword spirit owners throughout the Douluo Continent received the gift of sword intent.
His swordsmanship skills thus advanced further.
Now that Li Bai has gathered the faith of ten thousand swords and become the Sword Master of the continent, Chen Xin feels no jealousy whatsoever.
All that remained was pure admiration. He sighed softly, "The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal truly lives up to his name. In the world of swordsmanship, if Li Bai claims to be second, no one dares to claim to be first!"
Ning Fengzhi held a jade fan, paused lightly on the fan, and his eyes were full of emotion: "The Beidou Academy is full of hidden talents. Even someone like Li Bai is only ranked fifth. The academy's foundation is unfathomable."
Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo, stood gracefully to the side and nodded slightly: "Li Bai's sword, which embodies the spirit of freedom and unrestrained nature, is destined to possess such a destiny."
"Such a person is born to be a sword immortal."
The three of them gazed at the sky, their minds clear.
With this ranking, Beidou Academy's reputation has been further enhanced.
"Boom boom boom!"
And the moment the reward from the sky fell.
Li Bai, a student at Beidou Academy, leans against the Qinglian Stone, holding a wine gourd in one hand and stroking the Qinglian Divine Sword in the other.
The clear moonlight poured down from the sky, merging into his body.
The level 99 Limit Douluo barrier, which had been stuck for a long time, shattered like thin ice meeting the blazing sun after the bonus of increasing soul power by one level!
"boom!"
A vast, level-hundred divine power suddenly rippled outwards, and the elegant sword energy soared straight into the sky.
The clouds above Beidou Academy were torn open, and the sword energy of heaven and earth converged here, as if paying homage to the supreme sword.
Li Bai's eyes were tightly closed, but his sword-like eyebrows were slightly relaxed!
Feel the surging power after breaking through the barrier.
Nourished by the rewards, Kenshin became even more perfect!
The already unfathomable Azure Lotus Sword Intent was instantly comprehended to a state of perfection.
The sword energy surrounding him was sometimes as sharp as a cold blade, and sometimes as graceful as flowing clouds, embodying the carefree spirit of heaven and earth.
Just then!
A pale blue divine-level soul ring slowly condensed on the Azure Lotus Divine Sword Martial Soul.
The soul ring was filled with endless sword intent, and with the slightest movement, it caused the heavens and earth to resonate with sword sounds.
A nine-colored divine soul ring actually condensed on the Wine Immortal's gourd, with seven-colored flowing light swirling around it, and the aroma of wine mixed with sword intent.
It exudes an ethereal yet domineering aura.
The fact that both of their martial souls have condensed their tenth divine-level soul rings is an unprecedented phenomenon in the history of Douluo Continent!
A moment later, Li Bai slowly opened his eyes, and it seemed as if a blue lotus was blooming in his eyes, and all the sword energy was gathered into his body.
He exuded a faint, refined air, as if he were merely a gentle and scholarly man.
There was not a trace of the aura of a god-level expert.
"Brother Li, congratulations on breaking through to the Sword God realm!"
Lu Bu spoke first, his aura as a war god somewhat subdued.
He had sparred with Li Bai and knew how strong Li Bai's swordsmanship was.
Now that he has broken through to the God-level realm, his abilities are even more unfathomable.
Sun Wukong scratched his head and grinned, "Brother Li Bai's sword must be able to shatter the void now! In future sword duels, I, Old Sun, will no longer dare to underestimate him."
Sikong Zhen also cupped his hands and said, "Brother Li, your sword heart is free and your strength is boundless. Congratulations."
Li Bai raised his hand and took a sip of wine. The wine entered his throat and transformed into a wisp of sword energy that merged into his dantian. A refined smile appeared on his lips.
"It was merely by taking advantage of the sky barrier that I broke through a small barrier. With everyone's progress being so rapid, how could I dare to fall behind?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his fingertips lightly!
A wisp of azure lotus sword energy shot out, transforming into a pale blue stream of light in the air. It circled the Beidou Academy once, causing ten thousand swords outside the academy to resound in unison.
That was the resonance of faith among the owners of the Continental Sword Martial Soul, its power shaking the heavens.
...
Meanwhile, in an unknown place.
The Abyss Saint King's avatar staggered into existence, its form mostly illusory, its body covered in fine cracks, and raging abyssal power overflowing from it.
Even the black fog could not conceal his disheveled state.
He raised his hand to cover his chest, his bloodshot eyes filled with resentment and fear.
Just now, in order to resist the sword energy of the God-Slaying Sword and to escape the area of the Big Dipper Academy, he burned his source power one after another.
Now, nearly half of the original essence of this clone has been depleted, and its strength has been reduced by at least half.
What pained him even more was looking down at the Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd in his hand.
This divine weapon from the abyss was covered with spiderweb-like cracks.
The originally dense power of abyssal destruction dimmed slightly, and the aura of the divine artifact was reduced by a full tenth!
"Damn it! Damn it!"
The Abyss Saint King's avatar roared, and the black mist surged violently in fury.
"What is the origin of that golden divine sword? How could it possibly injure my Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd!"
He couldn't understand why Douluo Continent, being just a lower realm, would possess such terrifying divine artifacts.
There are also prodigies like Sikong Zhen who can contend with god-level clones, and mysterious powerhouses wielding peak-level super artifacts.
The power of that golden sword energy far exceeded his expectations.
Even if the owner of that golden divine sword was a god-level expert who had just broken through to level 100, wielding such a divine weapon, his damaged clone was definitely not someone he could contend with.
But amidst the fear, greed grew wildly in their hearts like vines.
The power of that golden divine sword made him drool.
"Such a divine artifact could never have been created in a lower realm like Douluo Continent! We must seize it!"
Now that his clone was damaged, he dared not covet it in the slightest and could only grit his teeth and think to himself.
"Only by descending in its true form can the Beidou Academy be destroyed and the divine artifact seized!"
With this in mind, he decided to explore the spatial barrier of Douluo Continent in an attempt to find a weak point in the space.
Open the passage between the Abyss Dimension and Douluo Continent.
