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

Chapter 149 A True God Among Swords, A Banished Immortal Among Wine

The vast sound from the sky seemed to echo the rage of the deep-sea demon whale king, ringing out at just the right moment.

[Deep Sea Demon Whale King! Do you wish to apply to open the 'Endless Arena' and challenge the fifth-ranked Emperor Tian?]

"We must take on this challenge!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's roar, filled with killing intent and determination, resounded throughout the heavens and earth!

It will win!
Prove that strength is the only eternal path to kingship!
Almost at the same moment it took up the challenge.

Starry Sky Forest, Core Area.

Di Tian raised his enormous dragon head, his golden dragon eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit.

Faced with the challenge of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, would he back down?
This is not only about rankings, but also about the dignity of land and sea spirit beasts!
It concerns his pride as the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King!
"as you wish!"

Di Tian's deep and majestic voice echoed through the sky.

"Boom boom boom!"

Two crimson beams of light, thicker and more terrifying in energy than ever before.

They fell into the endless deep sea.

A force descended upon the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

They respectively enveloped the massive body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and the enormous dragon body of Di Tian!
Two supreme experts, representing the pinnacle of ocean and land soul beasts respectively, were instantly pulled into the endless arena!

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King revealed its terrifying, mountain-like form, with a single, scarlet eye.

His body was surrounded by a dark red energy vortex that seemed capable of devouring everything.

The immense pressure brought by a million years of cultivation!
The entire arena space trembled.

Di Tian, ​​on the other hand, transformed into human form.

He was dressed in a black robe, with a cold and stern face, and a pair of golden eyes that burned with icy flames like two suns.

He simply stood there, and the darkness flowing around him was so tangible that it silently swallowed up the seawater that approached him.

"Boom boom boom!"

Without any unnecessary words, the battle erupted in an instant!
"Deep Sea Ruins!"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King roared, and a deep black beam of light shot out from its single eye.

Wherever the beam of light passed, it shot towards Di Tian with an aura of devouring and annihilating everything!

Di Tian remained expressionless as he raised his right hand.

With his fingers slightly spread, his entire arm was instantly covered with dense black dragon scales.

The fingertips became incredibly sharp, gleaming with a chilling light that seemed to tear everything apart.

"Dragon God's Claw!"

He swung his claw!
There was no earth-shattering sound, only five thin, dark cracks, like tearing fabric.

Silently approaching the black beam of light.

"laugh!"

The pillar of light from the deep sea, powerful enough to annihilate space, came into contact with the crack torn open by the dragon god's claw.

It was as if it had encountered its nemesis, and was torn apart and disintegrated!
The jet-black crack continued its relentless advance, heading straight for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!

"what?"

A hint of horror flashed in the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's single eye!
It could sense that the crack contained a terrifying power that surpassed its own energy level!
Its massive body swung rapidly, narrowly avoiding the core of the crack.

However, his side was still grazed, leaving a deep wound that exposed the bone and was shrouded in black energy. The wound was difficult to heal instantly!

"Energy Tide!"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was both shocked and furious!
It mobilizes the vast power accumulated over millions of years.

Like a tsunami, it crashed down on Di Tian, ​​attempting to overwhelm him with its absolute energy advantage.

"Darkness descends."

Di Tian spoke coldly!
Endless darkness spread out from him, as if pulling the entire arena into eternal night.

The surging tide of energy rushed into the darkness, only to vanish without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

Its power was drastically weakened, dispersed, and absorbed!
"Your power is merely superficial, scattered and not solidified."

Di Tian's voice echoed in the darkness, tinged with disdain.

"A million years of cultivation? He's nothing but a bloated waste!"

Before he finished speaking, Di Tian's figure appeared like a ghost above the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's head, and his claws covered with dragon scales swung out again!
This time, the target is its enormous single eye!

"not good!"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King sensed a deadly threat, and its single eye erupted with an unprecedented light.

A dark red energy shield, condensed to its fullest extent, instantly formed.

At the same time, it opened its huge mouth, and a beam of destructive light containing the power of its life core blasted towards Di Tian at close range!

"ended."

Di Tian's golden eyes remained completely calm!
Complex dark gold runes suddenly lit up on the dragon god's claws, and an unparalleled power that seemed capable of judging all living beings and destroying all laws erupted with a roar!
"Dragon God's Judgment!"

The Dragon God's Claw and the Destruction Beam collided fiercely!
There was no explosion, only a flash of extreme darkness, as if even the light had been swallowed up.

The next moment, the beam of destruction shattered like fragile glass!

The Dragon God's Claw swept through the dark red energy shield with unstoppable force.

It gripped the giant single eye of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King fiercely!

"puff!"

A piercing scream, beyond description, echoed throughout the Endless Arena!
Dark red blood gushed out like a waterfall! The massive body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King twisted and rolled wildly, its aura weakening like an avalanche!
The protective golden light from the sky descended just in time, enveloping the severely damaged Deep Sea Demon Whale King, whose one eye was almost destroyed.

It stabilized its last source and sent it back to the deep sea.

Di Tian hovered in mid-air, and the darkness around him receded!

His face was slightly pale, clearly indicating that using the Dragon God Claw had taken a heavy toll on him.

He glanced indifferently at the spot where the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had disappeared, and was then teleported away by the golden light.

[The Endless Arena Battle has ended; Di Tian emerges victorious, rankings unchanged.]

The sound from the sky announced the outcome of this epic battle.

The mainland was silent.

Di Tian proved the fairness of the Heavenly Rankings to the entire continent with a clean, decisive, and even crushing victory.

The defeat of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King made all the soul beasts deeply aware of the terror of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King.

Meanwhile, the human soul masters were awestruck by Di Tian's power.

Beidou Academy.

Lu Xiao stood with his hands behind his back.

Gazing at the lingering echoes of the brief yet breathtaking battle between Di Tian and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King on the sky.

His face still held that calm expression, as if everything was as expected.

"Bloodline suppression and dragon lineage inheritance—the outcome was already decided before the battle even began."

Lu Xiao murmured to himself.

"The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, despite possessing millions of years of energy, is like a child wielding a giant hammer, full of flaws." "As for Di Tian, ​​his Dragon God Claw has already obtained a portion of the Dragon God's true meaning of destruction, far beyond what ordinary million-year-old soul beasts can withstand."

Li Bai, who was standing to the side, had put down his wine pot at some point.

His eyes, which usually held a hint of drunkenness and a touch of untamed spirit.

At this moment, it is as clear as a mountain stream and as sharp as a peerless sword drawn from its sheath.

He watched with great interest the slowly dissipating phantom of Emperor Tian on the sky.

A fighting spirit curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Golden-eyed Black Dragon King, the Dragon God Claw is quite interesting."

Li Bai's fingers unconsciously tapped lightly on the seemingly ordinary scabbard at his waist.

Having been in this world for a long time, I have yet to have a truly enjoyable battle.

Sikong Zhen's fight was lively, but ultimately it fell short of expectations.

This Di Tian is quite a worthy opponent.

His Azure Lotus Sword Intent seemed to sense its master's emotions, emitting a subtle, clear resonance.

The surrounding air seemed to have become even sharper.

He already sensed that as the rankings continued to be announced, a battle was inevitable between him and this supreme land-based soul beast!
This caused his long-dormant sword heart to begin to heat up slightly.

The atmosphere inside the Papal Palace was terrifyingly oppressive.

Bibi Dong sat on the throne.

The shock in his eyes had not yet completely faded.

Instead, there was a deep sense of apprehension and a barely perceptible feeling of powerlessness.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King has been defeated!
Moreover, it was a crushing defeat!

That soul-shaking strike from the dragon god's claw.

The terrifying power that easily tore through the "Deep Sea Ruins" and shattered the defenses of a million-year-old soul beast was deeply imprinted in her mind.

"Ninety-two hundred thousand years versus a million years, and this is the result."

Bibi Dong's voice had a dryness that she herself was unaware of.

She always believed that with her twin martial souls and the Rakshasa God Trial, she would eventually ascend to godhood and look down upon all living beings.

But Di Tian's appearance was like a heavy hammer blow, shattering some of her fantasies.

Moreover, above the Emperor's Heaven...

There's also the mysterious Silver Dragon King, the Storm Dragon King, and the two unfathomable figures from Beidou Academy, Lu Xiao and Li Bai!

An unprecedented sense of crisis, like a cold, venomous snake, coiled around her heart.

On Poseidon Island.

Poseidon and Tang Chen stood side by side, gazing at the sea, which had regained its calm but was now turbulent beneath the surface, and remained silent.

"Land-based spirit beasts are incredibly powerful."

Poseidon gently stroked the golden trident, his sea-blue eyes filled with worry.

"If even Emperor Tian is like this, then what about the Silver Dragon King?"

Tang Chen clenched his fist and said in a deep voice, "It seems that the true situation on the mainland is far from what we previously saw."

"Humanity needs more strong individuals, it needs true gods."

Starry Sky Forest, Core Area.

Di Tian's figure slowly emerged in the golden light, his golden dragon eyes becoming even more profound and majestic.

In the battle just now, he seemed to have easily crushed his opponent, but in reality, using the Dragon God Claw also consumed a lot of energy.

But the victory in this battle was of great significance.

This not only solidified his ranking, but also demonstrated the supreme authority of land-based soul beasts to the entire continent!

Biji immediately stepped forward, her soft emerald light enveloping Di Tian, ​​soothing his exhaustion and healing his minor internal injuries.

"Lord."

Di Tian bowed slightly towards the depths of the Lake of Life.

"Well done."

"It's good to let that deep-sea brute face reality. However, the real opponent is yet to come."

The Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena's cool voice came through, carrying a hint of approval.

Di Tian naturally understood who the master was referring to, and he raised his head.

Golden eyes gazed in the direction of Beidou Academy, and fighting spirit surged once more.

While the various forces on the mainland were processing the shock brought by Di Tian, ​​each with their own thoughts,

"Boom boom boom!"

The blood-red light in the sky began to undergo an unprecedented and violent change!
This time, the light was no longer the majestic power of a dragon!

Instead, it presents a clear and bright spiritual light!
Within the spiritual light, sword energy soared into the sky, severing the floating clouds.

The aroma of wine permeates the air, intoxicating even the stars.

"boom!"

The spiritual light finally coalesced, transforming into a phantom of a cyan light sword that seemed to be forged from the essence of heaven and earth and unparalleled talent.

Beside the lightsaber, a huge, nine-colored wine gourd appeared as a phantom.

The ranking information then appears.
