stood at the center of rippling spacetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before his eyes unfolded a strange, dual-layered vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his left eye—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Whale Sea Region was filled with surging tides of annihilating energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet what his right eye perceived…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was a fantastical, kaleidoscopic river of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept across countless fragments of spacetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until finally—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it lingered upon a world suffused with gentle white light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, a sharp-eyed youth seemed to sense the gaze that crossed time itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He froze briefly in surprise,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zhexian raised an eyebrow, a trace of understanding and appreciation flashing through his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smiling faintly, he nodded and returned the gesture with an easy clasp of his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arising and fading of fate—cause and effect were profoundly mysterious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To meet once more across infinite spacetime was truly rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He silently congratulated that youth who had seized control of his own destiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ripple in the river of time surged past, and the connection between them vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zhexian gathered his thoughts and refocused on the battlefield of the Demon Whale Sea Region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world-destroying thunderfalls and the ocean's might were still raging wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lightning and water can both become nourishment for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the spacetime ripples surrounding him receded like a withdrawing tide, and his transcendent aura instantly returned to this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very instant his form solidified in the \"present\"—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his Flawless Glazed Body activated on its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath flesh and blood, multicolored radiance bloomed, like brilliant iridescent light sealed within crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crashing thunder and oceanic force not only failed to harm him in the slightest—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they were instead continuously devoured and absorbed by his supreme physique,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>transformed into the purest nourishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An even more overwhelming aura erupted violently from his body, like a slumbering dragon awakening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The level-90 peak bottleneck that had trapped countless genius Spirit Masters—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>under the impact of this vast convergence of internal and external energies—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>shattered like thin ice beneath the sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Level 91!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Level 92!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Level 93!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To possess god-level combat power at the Titled Douluo level—Li Zhexian could be called the first person in history to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of his breakthroughs triggered resonance between heaven and sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Li Zhexian wreathed in heavenly phenomena, Yu Tianheng, Feng Buyu, and the others were flushed with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, a monster like this is actually my brother?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps only a true god could contend with Brother Zhexian now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the group excitedly discussed—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they noticed Feng Xiaotian squatting alone by the ship's railing, wolf-hair brush in hand, writing furiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Xiaotian, what are you doing?\" someone asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Xiaotian didn't even look up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Spirit Masters in Heaven Dou City couldn't come out to sea, so they asked me to record everything I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others were puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You, with those hands that wield blades—now willing to hold a brush?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh,\" Feng Xiaotian grinned. \"The Spirit Masters said when the book's published, they'll put my name on it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Xiaotian, put down the brush.
