Between heaven and earth—
Everything fell silent.
Two headless Titled Douluo plummeted from the sky, bodies like broken kites whose strings had snapped.
Hundreds of thousands lifted their heads to look upward—
all utterly stunned, hearts hammering like war drums.
Until that white-robed youth—
suddenly stood upon the ten-thousand-meter energy vortex.
Nine strands of sword intent—each of a different nature—merged into a single torrent of sword will.
Sword qi roared in all directions, unleashing ultimate annihilating power, cleaving the colossal vortex into four shattered segments.
Rampaging energy surged like a breached floodgate, becoming a hurricane that tore through the sky, blasting apart the blood clouds that had formed from the fallen Titled Douluo.
Heaven and earth instantly cleared.
Only then—
did the hundreds of thousands of soldiers awaken as if from a dream.
Countless gazes locked onto the white-robed youth, turning into a blazing wave of fervor.
Weapons pounded against the ground, clashing in a metallic roar that merged with thunderous shouts and surged toward the heavens.
"His Excellency Sword Wine—invincible!"
"His Excellency Sword Wine—invincible!"
Li Zhexian's friends were also experiencing turmoil in their hearts.
They had known he was strong…
The common people even hailed him as Heaven Dou's number one Titled Douluo.
But only now did they understand what that "strong" truly meant.
Alone, in enemy lines—
Before eight Titled Douluo and one Limit Doulou-level powerhouse—
he beheaded his foes and withdrew unscathed.
Such power was no longer something a mere Titled Douluo could wield.
This was clearly—
a step into the Limit Doulou realm!
"Brother Zhexian… this is ridiculously strong!"
"Heaven Dou's first Limit Doulou… and he's my brother!"
"When the war ends, I'll make sure he drinks at least three jars of my strongest liquor!"
...
On the Spirit Empire's side—
The Worship Hall experts were shaken.
"Li Zhexian… has already reached the Limit Douluo realm?!"
"Doesn't that put him on equal footing with the Grand Worship?!"
"Glowing Feather—when you delivered the message to Heaven Dou, did you know he possessed such strength?"
Glowing Feather slowly exhaled, the initial shock on his handsome face fading, replaced only by solemn gravity.
"I only knew… he was unfathomably deep."
"Li Zhexian is truly a monster unrivaled in ancient or modern times."
At that moment—
a sigh sounded among the Worship Hall. It came from the Second Worship, Golden Crocodile.
"What a pity…"
"Give him a few more years, and even godhood would not be out of reach."
Hearing the implication behind Golden Crocodile's words—
the other Worships' expressions changed subtly.
Li Zhexian was strong.
but every Limit Douluo-level powerhouse was someone who dominated an era.
Even among Limit Douluos there were differences in strength.
But one man fighting two Limit Douluos?
Impossible to win.
...
At the Slaughter King's side—
the air rippled with dark purple waves.
Bibi Dong stepped out, adorned in a resplendent imperial mantle.
Murderous intent churned within her amethyst eyes as she murmured:
"The power of time…"
"When did Li Zhexian comprehend such a mysterious power?"
She had no choice but to admit—
she had underestimated him yet again.
She thought that at Level 90, he might survive a few exchanges with a Limit Douluo.
But in just two short years—
he could already confront them head-on.
"Fortunately… it is not too late."
"Before he ascends to godhood—
he must be completely eradicated."
On the battlefield—
Heaven Dou's hundreds of thousands of soldiers, emboldened by Li Zhexian's divine might, surged forward with unstoppable morale.
Amid the deafening clash of war—
Chen Xin, Gu Rong, Dugu Bo, and the others arrived at Li Zhexian's side.
Even they—
when looking at the youth—
felt nothing but profound shock.
Days ago, on the imperial palace squre—
Li Zhexian severely injuring the Dark Devilgod Tiger with a single palm strike had already been shocking.
But it was nothing compared to the impact of him now standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Limit Douluo-level powerhouses.
"Zhexian, the enemy has two Limit Douluo."
Chen Xin spoke lowly:
"I will stop one—"
"Old man will join Chen Xin. The two of us together can restrain one Limit Douluo!" Dugu Bo added gravely.
On Heaven Dou's side—
besides Li Zhexian, the strongest were Chen Xin—who had gained comprehension within the Myriad Forms Sword Dao and broken through to level 97—and Dugu Bo, who had also reached level 97 after his Martial Soul evolution.
"No need."
Li Zhexian shook his head calmly.
"The enemy still has the Rank 98 Golden Crocodile and the Rank 97 Azure Luan. You seniors are most suited to them."
"If the battlefield becomes uneven, the entire front will collapse instantly."
Having stepped into Limit Douluo-level combat, he now understood the terror of Limit Douluo.
Chen Xin and Dugu Bo were powerful—
But against a Limit Douluo, they couldn't last ten exchanges..
And if they fell—
Feng Bailong, Yu Yuanzhen, and the others would be crushed by the higher-ranked enemy Titled Douluo.
Chen Xin and Dugu Bo naturally knew this.
They simply wished to shoulder some of the burden from the young man before them.
This mountain-heavy responsibility—
should not fall on Li Zhexian alone.
"Zhexian."
The six—Chen Xin, Gu Rong, Dugu Bo, Feng Bailong, Yu Yuanzhen, and the First Marquis—spoke with difficulty:
"Your safety matters most."
"If you want to withdraw, even two Limit Douluo may not be able to stop you."
The First Marquis, unfamiliar with Li Zhexian yet moved beyond words, felt his eyes burn.
From this youth not yet past his twenties—
He saw the spirit of the Star Luo nobles.
At that moment—
a thunderous roar rolled across the heavens.
Eight Titled Douluo of the Spirit Empire streaked forward like meteoric arcs of light, trailing overwhelming killing intent, diving straight toward Heaven Dou.
Chen Xin, Dugu Bo, and the others turned cold-faced, soaring into the sky without hesitation to meet them.
BOOM—BOOM—BOOM—BOOM!!
The distance of several dozen miles collapsed in an instant.
Fifteen figures clashed midair, over a hundred Spirit Rings flaring at once, dyeing the sky in chaotic brilliance.
Within seconds, they had collided several times, energy storms raging wildly. Fourteen gigantic Martial Soul True Bodies towered across the sky, and the phenomena triggered by Spirit Abilities clashes darkened the heavens and made the earth tremble.
Li Zhexian watched intently.
With Ning Fengzhi's support—
Heaven Dou's seven Titled Douluo were, for now, able to contend evenly with the enemy's eight.
Sensing the two Limit Douluo-level auras awakening like slumbering dragons—
Li Zhexian's expression turned cold as he swept toward Bibi Dong and the Slaughter King.
Three utterly distinct yet terrifying auras—like three world-shattering meteors—collided from three directions.
Waves of destruction spread out from the trio, obliterating the lingering shockwaves from the Titled Douluo's battles.
Even though Li Zhexian's Spirit Power was vastly inferior to theirs, thanks to the god-level evolved Qinglian Sword, he was able to stand against them.
However—
the enemy had two Limit Douluo.
The instant their weapons collided, three pairs of icy eyes locked midair—each brimming with killing intent.
The next moment—
two overwhelming forces surged through the Qinglian Sword.
Li Zhexian's body shuddered violently, blasted backward even faster than he had approached.
His right arm, from wrist to elbow, ruptured inch by inch.
But at the same time, the power of time enveloped him—rewinding him to the moment before injury.
Eight radiant Spirit Rings rose beneath his feet.
And beyond those rings—
multiple domain powers of differing attributes spread outward.
"Killing God Domain!"
"Sword-Bearing Suppression Domain!"
The Snow Empress emerged gracefully from the wine gourd at Li Zhexian's waist.
"Empress' Chill: Snowy Dance Shines Sun!"
Li Zhexian brought two fingers to the Qinglian Sword, brushing across its edge—
A clear, resonant hum like a zither rang out.
Time and space rippled—
Slowly spreading.
"Twilight Overture…"
