Douluo: The Exiled Immortal Descends, Sword and Wine Slay the Gods Chapter 397: Tang San’s Crushing Defeat, the Sea God Descend

Li Zhexian stood at the center of rippling spaceti.

Before his eyes unfolded a strange, dual-layered vision.

In his left eye—

The Demon Whale Sea Region was filled with surging tides of annihilating energy.

Thunderfalls tore at the heavens like ferocious deep-blue serpents, azure water dragons roared while carrying oceans of crushing force, and turbulent energy warped space itself into distorted mirrors.

Yet what his right eye perceived…

was a fantastical, kaleidoscopic river of ti.

The birth and destruction of worlds, the rise and fall of civilizations, the tragic ballads of heroes and the prayers of mortals—all flowed past like fleeting phantoms.

His gaze swept across countless fragnts of spaceti.

Until finally—

it lingered upon a world suffused with gentle white light.

There, a sharp-eyed youth seed to sense the gaze that crossed ti itself.

He froze briefly in surprise,

then broke into joy and reverence, bowing solemnly toward the 'direction' of Li Zhexian across the endless void, performing the formal bow of a disciple.

Li Zhexian raised an eyebrow, a trace of understanding and appreciation flashing through his eyes.

Smiling faintly, he nodded and returned the gesture with an easy clasp of his hands.

The arising and fading of fate—cause and effect were profoundly mysterious.

To et once more across infinite spaceti was truly rare.

He silently congratulated that youth who had seized control of his own destiny.

A ripple in the river of ti surged past, and the connection between them vanished.

Li Zhexian gathered his thoughts and refocused on the battlefield of the Demon Whale Sea Region.

The world-destroying thunderfalls and the ocean's might were still raging wildly.

"Lightning and water can both beco nourishnt for ."

With a thought,

the spaceti ripples surrounding him receded like a withdrawing tide, and his transcendent aura instantly returned to this world.

At the very instant his form solidified in the "present"—

his Flawless Glazed Body activated on its own.

Beneath flesh and blood, multicolored radiance blood, like brilliant iridescent light sealed within crystal.

The crashing thunder and oceanic force not only failed to harm him in the slightest—

they were instead continuously devoured and absorbed by his supre physique,

transford into the purest nourishnt.

Boom!

Boom!

An even more overwhelming aura erupted violently from his body, like a slumbering dragon awakening.

The level-90 peak bottleneck that had trapped countless genius Spirit Masters—

under the impact of this vast convergence of internal and external energies—

shattered like thin ice beneath the sun.

Level 91!

Level 92!

Level 93!

To possess god-level combat power at the Titled Douluo level—Li Zhexian could be called the first person in history to do so.

Each of his breakthroughs triggered resonance between heaven and sea.

Ten thousand rays of rosy light and countless auspicious lights burst forth, as though the entire world were celebrating the birth of a god-tier powerhouse.

...

Watching Li Zhexian wreathed in heavenly phenona, Yu Tianheng, Feng Buyu, and the others were flushed with excitent.

"Damn it, a monster like this is actually my brother?!"

"Perhaps only a true god could contend with Brother Zhexian now!"

As the group excitedly discussed—

they noticed Feng Xiaotian squatting alone by the ship's railing, wolf-hair brush in hand, writing furiously.

"Brother Xiaotian, what are you doing?" soone asked.

Feng Xiaotian didn't even look up.

"The Spirit Masters in Heaven Dou City couldn't co out to sea, so they asked to record everything I see."

The others were puzzled.

"You, with those hands that wield blades—now willing to hold a brush?"

"Heh," Feng Xiaotian grinned. "The Spirit Masters said when the book's published, they'll put my na on it."

"Brother Xiaotian, put down the brush. You can't handle it!"

"Your handwriting looks like a dog crawling—let do it!"

...

"Even without using spaceti power, he still can't be injured at all!"

Feeling the increasingly terrifying pressure emanating from Li Zhexian,

the resentnt and jealousy boiling in Tang San's chest nearly burst forth, staining his eyes crimson.

"Why—why does Li Zhexian get to be this strong?!"

The Demon Whale King let out a thunderous roar, churning the surrounding waves.

"Sea God's successor—you deserved your sect's destruction and your parents' deaths!"

"Where's the arrogance you showed when fighting earlier?!"

"That laughable confidence of yours disgusts !"

"Shut up!" Tang San snarled through clenched teeth.

"It's not that I'm weak!"

"It's that… it's that…"

He stamred, unable to finish his sentence.

In the end, he could not find any suitable excuse.

All he could do was clutch the Golden Trident tightly and force out words of resentnt through clenched teeth:

"It's because the Sea God's inheritance is inferior to Li Zhexian's sword!"

"It's because the Sea God is inferior to Li Zhexian!"

"What does that have to do with ?!"

...

On the Divine Realm Plaza, Tang San's voice—its reason devoured by jealousy—echoed endlessly through the projection.

The Sea God still stood motionless.

Even the long robe symbolizing the ocean had ceased to billow.

Yet beneath this extre calm,

a towering fury brewed—enough to make the clouds of the Divine Realm churn violently.

The smile at Ji Dong's lips deepened.

Even the usually stern Asura God showed a hint of amusent.

By all logic,

when a god is enraged, others should adopt solemn expressions out of respect.

But the two of them were God Kings.

They had no need to concern themselves with the emotions of a re first-class god.

"I am the Sea God,"

ca a deep voice, as though from ten thousand fathoms beneath the sea.

"My divine might pervades countless minor worlds. Wherever the oceans reach, all living beings chant my na."

"And yet…"

"I am now openly belittled by my own successor, who claims that I am inferior to a re mortal youth."

"If this matter were to spread throughout the heavens and myriad realms, what humiliation would that be to the dignity of the Sea God?"

The Sea God turned his gaze toward the two God Kings.

"Evil, Asura…"

"Will the two of you truly not intervene? And will you not inform Destruction?"

Ji Dong and the Asura God clasped their hands behind their backs and nodded.

"A God King's decision cannot be overturned."

"Very well."

The Sea God's eyes returned to the projection.

"Since you two wish to use as a whetstone for his sword…"

"Then I shall personally weigh this Li Zhexian."

"I will strike only once. If he can receive it, then I concede defeat."

"Even if I win, I will not take his life—but Tang San must pay the price for blaspheming a god."

As the words fell,

a brilliant blue-gold light blood from the Sea God's brow.

A divine pattern of a golden trident, condensed from the very origin of the ocean, erged.

Boom!

Boom!

It was as if the oceans of ten thousand worlds roared at once.

A strand of divine power carrying the Sea God's wrath tore through the void and plunged straight down along the projection.

Ji Dong and the Asura God raised their hands simultaneously.

Supre divine might ford an invisible barrier,

sealing away all overflowing power, ensuring that this divine punishnt would descend only where it was ant to.

...

"Hng!" Tang San let out a muffled groan, his body swaying violently.

In that very instant,

a vast and boundless will descended from the infinite void.

Before this will,

he felt as insignificant as a grain of sand in the ocean.

The Golden Trident in his hands suddenly beca unbearably heavy—so heavy that he could no longer hold it.

The divine weapon slipped from his grasp, plunging into the deep sea and stirring up towering waves.

The Demon Whale King looked at Tang San in shock and uncertainty.

From Tang San's body,

it suddenly sensed an aura that made its very soul tremble.

"Tang San."

A majestic, ancient, and indifferent voice sounded within Tang San's mind.

His body stiffened instantly.

"Lord Sea God!"

His posture appeared neither servile nor arrogant, maintaining the dignity of a chosen prodigy.

Yet deep inside,

waves of terror were already surging.

Had the Sea God heard the blasphemous words he had uttered in his agitation just monts ago?!

He hurried to explain:

"Please forgive my thoughtless words, Lord Sea God!"

"It was truly because…"

"That Li Zhexian is my lifelong nesis!"

"In a mont of rage, I spoke without restraint. I beg your pardon!"
