"No, I can't keep killing like this!"
As the number of sharks and demon beasts increased around him, the pressure on Wang Junze grew heavier, almost reaching the point of collapse.
These sharks and demon beasts, taken individually, weren't strong and Wang Junze could easily slay them. But once they grouped together, it beca a completely different matter. The most crucial part was that these demon beasts seed endless, killing them only summoned more.
Previously, Wang Junze could say he was entirely relying on the experience he'd gained through the sword array in that Northern Domain relic to handle the situation.
After all, while there were many ice sculptures in that sword array back then, there was still a limit. According to Wang Junze's guess, as long as he killed quickly and in great numbers, he would eventually be able to slash his way through this corridor.
However, the current situation had clearly overthrown his judgnt.
These demon beasts couldn't be exterminated!
Moreover, this corridor seed to have no end.
By Wang Junze's estimation, during this ti, he had already fought through several miles of the corridor. What corridor could be this long? This was simply unreasonable.
Coupling this with the disappearance of the Maiden of the Sea and the others, Wang Junze quickly realized that forcefully charging through was impossible.
Where exactly lay the problem?
With intense thought, Wang Junze compelled himself to calm down, carefully observing everything around him and swiftly spotting an anomaly.
"Wait, where are the bodies of those sharks and demon beasts?"
By logic, with the countless demon beasts Wang Junze had slain along the way, the corridor should have been piled with corpses by now. Yet, looking back, it still appeared empty, devoid of accumulated corpses, leaving only fresh blood.
Innate Spirit Water!
In an instant, Wang Junze recalled that earlier, after killing those Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals, their bodies had quickly dissolved.
According to the Maiden of the Sea, the bodies of those Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals were devoured by the Innate Spirit Water.
So, is it possible that the bodies of these sharks and demon beasts are being consud in the sa way?
The key doesn't lie with the sharks and demon beasts at all, but with the Innate Spirit Water itself!
That's it!
Although he stepped into the corridor, the surrounding seawater remained the sa, allowing free breathing and conversation. Thus, the seawater in the corridor also was Innate Spirit Water.
Perhaps the key to breaking through this corridor also lay in the Innate Spirit Water.
Continually killing these sharks and demon beasts, causing the Innate Spirit Water to consu more power, might be the reason for this corridor remaining unbreakable.
So, conversely, what if he could also find a way to absorb the power of the Innate Spirit Water?
Would it allow him to walk straight out of the corridor?
But how should he absorb the spiritual power of this Innate Spirit Water?!
This wasn't a small amount he could just swallow down. All the surrounding water was Innate Spirit Water; he couldn't possibly drink it all without bursting.
No, that's not right!
While it's impossible for him to absorb the power of Innate Spirit Water, perhaps his sword techniques could absorb this power.
A flash of insight glead in Wang Junze's mind in an instant.
Harness the power of the world!
During his life-and-death battle with Yuan Shouyi, Wang Junze had grasped the concept of Rain Sword Intent from the rain, which condensed into a Path Embryo. He also realized the principle of borrowing power from the world.
All thods are interconnected!
What if this realization also applied to Water Sword Intent?
He was now at the seabed, surrounded by water everywhere, and even if it was a special form of water like Innate Spirit Water, its essence was still water!
Buzz!
With a breath, the True Qi within Wang Junze suddenly erupted, pushing the Water Sword Intent to its extre!
Vaguely, Wang Junze's mind once again conjured the image of the energy that had recoiled when he attacked that Water Barrier outside the Dragon Palace.
Unconsciously, Wang Junze swung his sword, beginning to mimic the energy that burst forth from that Water Barrier.
Rumble!
In the span of just a few breaths, a terrifying vortex suddenly rose in the direction indicated by the Sword Edge!
At first, this vortex was small, but as Wang Junze continued to invoke the Water Sword Intent, the power within the surrounding seawater seed to be drawn in, causing the vortex to expand more and more. Soon, it no longer needed Wang Junze to inject power; it simply spun naturally.
It worked!
Excitent shone in his eyes, and Wang Junze suddenly swung his sword, fiercely slashing the vortex outward!
In an instant, the surrounding seawater surged madly into it. Even those sharks and demon beasts were sucked into this terrifying vortex. All the seawater in the entire corridor was drawn in, transforming into a vast force, rushing forward with an aura of destruction.
This strike was far beyond what Wang Junze could control. In fact, Wang Junze knew he could never wield such a terrifying strike. The true force behind this endlessly growing Water Vortex wasn't his own power but the power contained within the surrounding water — Innate Spirit Water.
Wang Junze no longer needed to deal with the oncoming sharks and demon beasts himself; he just had to follow along with this terrifying vortex, which effortlessly propelled him forward!
In just a short mont, the entire corridor could no longer withstand this terrifying force and began to collapse.
Almost simultaneously, Wang Junze felt a sudden brightness before him. In the dizziness of the mont, everything around him shattered; when he opened his eyes again, he had unknowingly stepped out of the corridor, standing before an inner hall.
In that mont, Wang Junze couldn't distinguish whether everything he'd experienced in the corridor was reality or an Illusion Realm.
"The visitor is a guest. Why not co into the hall for a chat?"
The next mont, Wang Junze heard a low voice slowly emanate from within the inner hall.
Creaaak!
The originally closed door to the hall slowly opened, and without hesitation, Wang Junze stepped into the inner hall.
With a single step, it was as if the ti and space had transford.
The next mont, Wang Junze found himself in a room full of antiquity and fragrance, still surrounded by Innate Spirit Water, but the Spiritual Qi was more than ten tis denser than before.
Raising his head, Wang Junze saw a human-shaped turtle-headed demon from the Demon Race, sitting quietly at the table.
On the table were two cups of tea, and the figure looked at him with a gentle expression, as if truly the host catering to a guest.
Composing himself, Wang Junze gave a slight bow to the figure.
"Junior Wang Junze, stumbled into the Dragon Palace. May I ask if the senior is the Master of the Dragon Palace?"
Although separated by several ters, Wang Junze could clearly feel the vast and limitless aura enveloping the figure, making it impossible for him to harbor any thoughts of enmity.
