Douluo Continent: A Fallen Immortal Descends to Earth, Slaying Gods with a Drunken Sword

Chapter 316 The Ninth Form of the Azure Lotus Sword Song! A Collision of Time and Time
The Lake of Life is as still as a misty blue mirror. A fish leaps out of the water, stirring up ripples on the surface.

Li Bai, the banished immortal, sat alone by the frozen lake, his white robe trailing on the ground.

After glimpsing the shape of time.

He has been sitting in meditation for three days.

The Azure Lotus Sword lay horizontally in front of his knees, its scabbard covered in ice crystals.

The sword intent of time is more ethereal than the wind, more elusive than death, and more distant than the stars.

Time leaves no trace, yet its marks are everywhere, leaving people bewildered and unable to see clearly.

Li Zhexian closed his eyes.

Chasing after that invisible and intangible flow.

He tried to capture it, but all he found was cold air at his fingertips;

He tried to listen, but all he heard was eternal silence.

Frustration began to fester in my heart.

The fourth day of meditation.

The last snow of the winter has arrived.

Snowflakes swirled down, settling on the lake's surface, covering withered branches, and dotting his eyebrows and shoulders.

Li Zhexian remained motionless with his eyes closed.

Let the snowflakes pile up.

It has transformed into a snow sculpture on the lakeside.

far away.

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu watched with concern as the boy gradually turned into a "snowman" under the vast snow.

They wanted to go forward.

But he was also worried that he might disturb Li Zhexian's sword comprehension.

Da Ming and Er Ming exchanged a glance and both sighed inwardly. They admired Li Zhexian even more.

Ask yourself.

If it were them instead.

The path to sword enlightenment is so difficult that I gave up long ago.

"Roar……"

The Dark Demon God Tiger let out a low growl, and the mockery in its blood-red eyes gradually subsided.

Persistent people should not be ridiculed.

It remembered itself.

Amidst the vast expanse of stars, only this evil tiger survives, utterly alone and despised by both humans and beasts. In its youth, it survived by feeding on rotten flesh.

But persistence is persistence.

It still doesn't believe that Li Zhexian is capable of comprehending the power of time.

Some things cannot be achieved through effort alone.

In the sea of ​​knowledge.

A human-like shock appeared on Tianmeng Bingcan's chubby face.

"If only I had done it back then..."

"He has even a fraction of the desire to become stronger, like the immortal brother."

"If I hadn't been so lazy and had diligently practiced my attack techniques, how could I have been imprisoned by a Star Dou Soul Beast?"

"Maybe my brother and Hyotei already have a child!"

Many people around them had their own thoughts.

Li Bai was completely unaware.

He was immersed in a special state.

Although his eyes were closed and he was buried deep in the snow, his mind was still swaying with the falling snowflakes.

Just now.

A six-petaled snowflake escaped from among thousands of its kind and fell squarely onto his head.

In his perception, the fall was suddenly extremely slow.

It was so slow that he could see every refraction of the ice crystals.

It was so slow that he could hear the slight tremor as the air was being cut open.

So slowly that he seemed to see the entire life of this snowflake... condensing from the clouds, growing in the wind, witnessing the vastness of heaven and earth as it falls, and finally heading towards a silent demise.

And this demise.

It will soon be born on the top of his head.

A clear realization struck me like a bolt of lightning.

"Time is eternal; it is all living things that glide hastily across its boundless mirror surface."

He murmured:
"The first snow touches the plum blossoms, the evening snow covers the desolate city... This kind of swordsmanship is nothing more than sand slipping through one's fingers."

not far away.

The Dark Demon God Tiger, who had been diligently cultivating, suddenly raised his head, his blood-red eyes filled with boundless shock as he looked at the boy buried in the heavy snow.

"This aura... how is this possible?!"

Although Da Ming and Er Ming were not as perceptive about the power of time as Xie Hu.

But they still stared in astonishment at the snow sculpture that had suddenly become hazy, as if it didn't exist in this time and space.

Within her sea of ​​consciousness, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm fearfully hid from the Azure Lotus Sword, which surging with annihilating power.

"My God, the house has been wrecked!"

"Your martial spirit true form is inside the sword niche, yet it can still emanate such terrifying power!"

"Immortal Brother, have you truly comprehended the power of time?!"

Amidst the vast expanse of snow.

Li Zhexian slowly opened his eyes.

The whites of the eyes and pupils are not visible; only a vast glacier reflects the rise and fall of the world as time flows by.

Almost at the same moment.

The snowflake finally touched his hair.

Li Zhexian raised his fingers, causing the snow covering his body to crumble, and with a seemingly light and slow flick towards the void before him...

There was no sword energy crisscrossing, nor any strong wind howling.

Only that snowflake, as if gently lifted by an invisible hand, traced its original trajectory, bit by bit, back to the starting point.

It crossed the frozen wind, the swirling snow, the bare branches and the frozen lake, rising higher and higher until it disappeared into the leaden clouds, as if it had never existed.

It was as if an invisible thread was gently stirred by this sword, causing time to reverse for a moment.

The snow continues to fall on the lakeside.

Li Zhexian slowly withdrew his fingers, looked down at the Azure Lotus Sword before his knees, and traced the cool patterns on the scabbard with his fingertips, producing a clear and melodious sound like the ringing of a sword, dispelling the desolation of late winter:

"A sword can cleave Mount Sumeru, but it cannot sever a trace of flowing water."

"Only by transcending worldly concerns can one defy the passage of time."

"The Ninth Form of the Azure Lotus Sword Song—"

"Passing away through the ages."

"It's done."

After four months, Li Zhexian finally succeeded in comprehending the sword.

Da Ming and Er Ming brought out their treasured mountain delicacies and prepared a grand feast rarely seen elsewhere.

"Hey, my immortal brother, try this spirit flower honey!"

Erming carefully held a wooden stake and said proudly:
"An ancient bear that has been hibernating for thousands of years has awakened in the eastern part of the forest!"

"I asked it for honey, but it wouldn't give it to me. So I punched it twice and it shut up!"

Li Zhexian glanced into the wooden stake.

Inside was a pool of viscous liquid, as glittering as gold.

A sweet fragrance of a hundred flowers lingered around his nose, making his mouth water involuntarily.

After taking a bite, his mouth was filled with a rich, sweet floral aroma. Li Zhexian nodded repeatedly and gave a thumbs up.
“A delicacy on earth!”

"Roar……"

The Dark Demon God Tiger drew closer.

Erming immediately glared with his golden-brown beast eyes.

"You still want to eat? Get out of here!"

Li Zhexian smiled, ladled out a bowl of mountain delicacy soup, and pushed it towards the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

His sword intent has now been fully formed.

Keeping the Dark Demon God Tiger is useless now.

But to be honest...

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's soul ring and the Evil God Pearl were of little use to him.

"It would be better to use it as a mount first. If we go to war with the Spirit Empire, it will be a titled combat power."

"If you don't want to..."

"Then kill Takeju."

The meal was extremely enjoyable.

Just after they had eaten and drunk their fill, Erming suddenly came up with an idea that even Li Zhexian found interesting.

"Brother Immortal, now that you have comprehended the sword intent of time and space, how do you compare to the evil tiger's power of time?"

As soon as these words came out.

The azure beast eyes of the Great Ming Dynasty lit up, then hesitated and said:

"Power imbued with the attribute of time is extremely rare."

"What will happen when time collides with time is something no one can predict."

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu listened quietly, sensibly refraining from interrupting.

Li Zhexian stroked his chin and looked at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Just then, the Dark Demon God Tiger also looked at him.

He collided with those scarlet, beastly eyes.

Li Bai understood the meaning of "dissatisfaction" from this.

The Azure Lotus Sword hanging at his waist hummed excitedly.

He raised the corners of his lips.

"Then, shall we touch?"
