Douluo Continent: I had just reached my limit when the sky exposed me.

Chapter 130 The Sword God of Our Time, the God of War
The sword energy made his soul tremble.

A deadly sense of crisis gripped him like a tangible force.

The Demon King immediately realized...

The human in front of me.

His strength has definitely reached the level of a Limit Douluo.

And he was by no means an ordinary Limit Douluo!

Li Bai calmly looked at the Demon King, who appeared to be facing a formidable enemy, a simple, ancient longsword appearing in his hand at some unknown time.

The sword was not drawn!

Yet, the soaring sword intent already stirred the surrounding air currents, emitting a faint hiss.

"King of Ten Thousand Demons!"

Li Bai spoke, his voice clear and melodious.

Yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.

“It is not the behavior of a gentleman to have such a distinguished guest come from afar and not visit Beidou Academy, but instead engage in these sneaky activities.”

The Demon King's face was grim, but he forced himself to remain calm and said, "You've misunderstood."

"I...I just happened to be traveling here and used the scent of the plants to cultivate. I have absolutely no intention of offending the Beidou Academy."

He tried to conceal his true intentions.

Upon hearing this, Li Bai's lips curled into a faint sneer, clearly indicating that he did not believe his nonsense.

He was too lazy to waste any more words.

Some boundaries need to be defined by force.

"Zheng!"

A clear and melodious sword cry suddenly rang out, like a dragon's roar echoing through the heavens!
Li Bai's ancient longsword suddenly drew three inches from its sheath!
With just three inches of force, an indescribable, overwhelming sword intent soared into the sky.

It tore a hole in the clouds in the sky!
The next moment, Li Bai pointed his fingers like a sword.

He made a light slash towards the empty space ahead.

There was no earth-shattering roar, no dazzling light.

But the King of Ten Thousand Demons' pupils suddenly contracted; he saw it clearly.

A tiny, almost transparent spatial rift appeared quietly as Li Bai's finger traced it.

Within that crack!
It was an endless destruction intertwined with sharp sword energy, roaring and howling!
"Hey!"

The crack extended downwards, reaching the earth.

In an instant, a hundred meters in front of the Demon King, the solid ground was silently cut open like tofu, creating a huge ravine that was more than ten meters long and bottomless!

Within the ravine, terrifying sword energy raged and swirled, forming an absolute death zone.

It exudes a chilling killing intent that freezes the soul!
Li Bai slowly withdrew his fingers, and the ancient longsword returned to its sheath with a soft "clang".

He calmly looked at the pale-faced Demon King.

"This line is the boundary."

"Any powerful member of the Soul Beast race who crosses this line without permission..."

He paused slightly.

The sword intent that had been contained around him suddenly erupted, like billions of divine swords, all pointing at the Demon King!

"Kill without mercy!"

The three words were as cold as ice from the heavens.

It instantly froze all the blood and soul power around the Demon King.

That palpable killing intent, like countless steel needles, pierced the depths of his soul.

It left him with no doubt.

As long as I dare to take even half a step across that ravine of sword energy.

The next second will be absolutely certain that there will be no trace of his body or soul left!
Cold sweat poured down the forehead of the Demon King!

His body trembled slightly from extreme fear and humiliation.

He was a ferocious beast that had existed for 500,000 years...

When have you ever been so humiliated?

But faced with Li Bai's unfathomable strength and undisguised killing intent, he couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resistance.

The difference is too big!
Ultimately, all the anger, resentment, and fear...

All of this turned into a muffled groan, suppressed to the extreme.

Immediately, the Demon King no longer hesitated.

Its figure transformed into a streak of green light, and like a stray dog, it fled into the distance towards the Star Dou Great Forest without looking back.

Incredibly fast!

They were terrified that if they were even a step too slow, they would be beheaded.

As the Demon King disappeared into the horizon, the murderous aura on Li Bai's face instantly vanished.

He regained his carefree and unrestrained demeanor.

He yawned, as if he had just casually shooed away a noisy fly.

"Disturbing the peace and quiet."

He muttered.

His figure transformed into a sword aura once more and vanished.

He returned to Beidou Academy and continued his sword dance!

At the same time, the shock and anticipation from the outside world have reached their peak.

Above the sky, after a brief silence.

The intensely rich golden light finally began its final condensation!

The entire sky over the Douluo Continent.

They were all rendered in pure gold.

Third place!
The answer will be revealed soon!

The news of third place, carrying with it a majestic and awe-inspiring presence, was imprinted deep within everyone's soul.

[Third place on the Soul Master Power Ranking]

Name: Sun Wukong

[Affiliation: Beidou Academy]

[Soul Power Level: 98]

[Martial Soul: Ruyi Jingu Bang]

[Soul Ring Configuration: Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Red, Red, Red]

[Combat Power Assessment: Born from a stone monkey, nurtured by chaos, his martial soul, the Ruyi Jingu Bang, is formed from the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, capable of changing size and weight at will. Although his soul power level is 98, his combat power rivals that of a peak level 99 Limit Douluo. A single blow can shatter mountains and cleave rivers and seas; his power is unparalleled, and he is invincible. Therefore, he is ranked third.]

[Rewards: Soul Power increased by one level, all Soul Rings increased by 35,000 years, a 250,000-year Soul Bone, Battle Saint Technique, and a wisp of Chaos Origin Power.]

"Sun Wukong! It's Beidou Academy again!"

"Level 98? Ranked third with level 98 soul power? Comparable to the peak Limit Douluo?"

"Why does this Sun Wukong seem so unfamiliar? He's never appeared on any of the previous lists. Could he have sprung from a stone?"

"The Ruyi Jingu Bang martial spirit? I've never heard of it before!"

How many secrets does Beidou Academy hold?

Everyone in Douluo Continent was utterly shocked! His soul power level was only level ninety-eight?
It's important to know that Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, Bo Saixi, and Bibi Dong were all level 99 Limit Douluo.

But this Soul Master named Sun Wukong...

With a soul power of level 98, he actually overpowered four Limit Douluos.

Ranked third!
This is simply unheard of and unseen before!

……

Enshrined in the temple.

Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief: "Level 98...comparable to the peak of Limit Douluo?"

"This is impossible!"

"The difference in soul power level is an insurmountable chasm, how could he possibly do that?"

The previous incident with Sikong Zhen had already shocked him enough, but he never expected that Beidou Academy would produce another freak like Sun Wukong.

It should be noted that even the Grand Elder Qian Daoliu, who was previously ranked relatively low, was far stronger than him.

Therefore, he was able to clearly understand.

Sun Wukong, with his level 98 soul power, overpowered Qian Daoliu, Poseidon, Tang Chen, and Bibi Dong, which greatly shocked him.

A hint of confusion flashed in Qian Dao's golden eyes, which then turned into deep apprehension.

"Beidou Academy...where did these powerful individuals come from?"

"Their cultivation system seems to be completely different from ours."

He suddenly realized...

The terrifying aspects of Beidou Academy.

It's not just about the number of powerful individuals, but also about how they overturned the cultivation knowledge that had been passed down for thousands of years in the Douluo Continent.

……

Within the Haotian Sect.

Tang Xiao looked at the information on the sky, and his heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

As the sect leader of the Haotian Sect, he devoted his life to studying the path of power.
However, Sun Wukong's martial spirit actually made him feel unprecedented pressure.

"One blow can shatter mountains and cleave rivers and seas... This power is even more domineering than my grandfather's Clear Sky Hammer!"

……

While various parties on the mainland were still shocked by Sun Wukong's ranking.

"Boom boom boom!"

The golden light in the sky surged once more.

This time, the golden light was no longer violent, but transformed into pure white.

Like the Milky Way cascading down from the heavens!

It possesses an extreme sharpness and unrestrained spirit, as if everything in the world could be severed by this power.

"This aura... it's sword intent! Sword intent pure to the extreme!"

"What terrifying sword intent! I feel my martial spirit trembling!"

"It's Li Bai!"

"It must be Li Bai from Beidou Academy!"

Countless Soul Masters instinctively gripped their weapons tighter.

Those Soul Masters who used swords as their Martial Soul felt an awe that came from the depths of their souls.

This sword intent has transcended the realm of technique.

He reached the highest realm of "the sword is the way".

……

Inside the Qibao Glazed Sect.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin, dressed in white, was tense all over, his eyes fixed on the sky, filled with fervor and despair.

He was obsessed with swordsmanship his entire life!
He considers himself the King of Swords in the Douluo Continent.

But when that sword intent appeared, he finally understood...

My previous level of understanding was nothing more than that of a frog at the bottom of a well.

"This is the true way of the sword...this is the true swordsman!"

Chen Xin murmured to himself, his voice trembling slightly.

He could sense that this sword intent contained more than just killing intent.

It also embodies a carefree, free, and unrestrained spirit.

That was a realm he could never reach, no matter how hard he tried.

Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo, stood aside and sighed softly as he looked at Chen Xin's distraught appearance.

"Chen Xin, don't be too attached. These people from Beidou Academy are not ordinary people."

"Their path is different from ours."

Chen Xin didn't speak, but stared intently at the sky, his eyes filled with an extremely complex light.

There was envy, jealousy, and resentment...

But more than anything, it's a deep-seated sense of awe.

He knew that his path of swordsmanship had been completely overturned today.

Above the sky.

White and golden light condensed and took shape, like a white-clad sword god standing in mid-air, and the information of the second place slowly emerged:
[Second Place on the Soul Master Power Ranking]

Name: Li Bai

[Affiliation: Beidou Academy]

[Soul Power Level: 99]

[Martial Soul: Azure Lotus Divine Sword, Wine Immortal Gourd]

[Soul Ring Configuration: Red, Red, Red, Red, Red, Red, Red, Red]

[Soul Ring Configuration: Red, Red, Red, Red, Red, Red, Red, Red]

[Combat Power Rating: Possessing twin martial souls, a true god among swords, a sage among wine connoisseurs. His swordsmanship is elegant and unrestrained, unpredictable, and contains supreme mysteries such as 'Sword Heart Clarity' and 'Sword Intent Manifestation.' His combat power far surpasses that of ordinary Limit Douluo, and he can defeat a nascent god-level powerhouse. He is the pinnacle symbol of swordsmanship on the continent, hence ranked second.]

[Rewards: Soul Power solidified sixfold, all Soul Rings increased in age by 50,000 years, two 300,000-year Soul Bones, a wisp of divine sword intent, sword intent power increased by 50%, and auxiliary Martial Soul effects increased by 30%.]

"Li Bai! Twin Martial Souls!"

"He can defeat a god-level powerhouse in its early stages! My god! The Limit Douluo can actually defeat a god?"

"Eighteen 100,000-year soul rings, am I seeing things?!"

"A true god among swordsmen! This evaluation... is terrifying!"

The entire Douluo Continent was plunged into a frenzy of uproar!
Limit Douluo and God-level Powerhouse.

That's the difference between mortals and gods!

No matter how strong the former is, he is still just a mortal.

The latter has already touched the realm of gods and possesses the power to control everything.

But Li Bai...

He was actually able to cross this insurmountable barrier and defeat a nascent god-level powerhouse while only at the Limit Douluo level!
Such strength!

This has exceeded everyone's understanding!
