Chapter 359 After Awakening, One Sword Splits the Sea
"Who exactly is this woman? And why is she in this deep sea?"
An elder frowned and asked, puzzled.
His question was clearly a common concern for everyone else.
All eyes were focused on the sleeping woman.
Her face was stunningly beautiful, like a fairy stepping out of a painting. She still had life in her body and was clearly not dead.
This vitality made the elders wary, and they only dared to stay at a distance and observe cautiously, but dared not approach easily, for fear that this place was some kind of trap.
She lay there quietly, the spiritual energy emanating from her body, even in her sleep, was so powerful it was terrifying, no less than that of the Nascent Soul elders who had cultivated for many years.
The elders began to discuss in hushed tones, their expressions slightly tense.
"Should we take her back to the sect and study her in detail?" an elder tentatively suggested, though he himself was somewhat hesitant.
“If she is indeed the source of the mutation, we must eliminate her to prevent future troubles. Otherwise, once she awakens, no one can guarantee the consequences.” Another elder spoke firmly, clearly intending to take this opportunity to kill her and eliminate any future threats.
"No, this woman's origins are unknown; we cannot act rashly." An elderly elder shook his head, his face filled with caution. "What if her death causes even greater disaster?"
"Let's give it a try first," an elder decided. "We should be careful and test her first. If we can resolve this, that would be the best outcome. If not, we can make other plans later."
Once the decision was made, the elders quickly formed hand seals, their flying swords gleaming with brilliant light, creating a sword array that seemed to illuminate the dark and deep seabed.
The seawater surged and churned, transforming into countless water dragons that meandered and coiled with immense power, carrying the force of an overturned mountain.
This attack was their all-out effort.
"Attack!" With the order from the leading elder, as if struck by thunder, all the elders simultaneously unleashed their attacks.
Suddenly, the seabed shone brightly, as if daytime had arrived.
Flying swords, like lightning slicing through the night sky, shot swiftly towards the sleeping woman, while the water dragon, carrying immense power, surged forward with ferocious force. The entire seabed fissure trembled under this power, as if it were about to collapse.
The ocean surged and roared, a truly earth-shattering event.
At that moment, the seawater seemed to boil, churning, roaring, and surging with towering waves.
The powerful spiritual energy fluctuations raged like a storm, even reaching the sea surface and creating a huge whirlpool, like the maw of a giant beast, devouring everything around it.
The surrounding terrain was destroyed beyond recognition in an instant, and the seabed rocks were shattered into dust and scattered in the sea.
The blood-red flowers were also uprooted and swept into the light of the water dragon and flying sword, instantly vanishing into nothingness.
However, at that moment, a silver light suddenly burst forth from the woman's body, forming a huge protective shield that blocked all the attacks, like an indestructible barrier.
The elders' expressions changed drastically.
They never expected that this seemingly sleeping woman would have such powerful defensive measures.
The silver light grew stronger and stronger, like a silver moon in the sky, dyeing the entire seabed fissure a snowy white and illuminating every corner.
That was sword intent, sharp and piercing, as if it could cut through everything.
The elders of the Hundred Swords Pavilion immediately felt the pressure. They realized that this woman in white was no ordinary person, and her strength far exceeded their expectations.
Even the sea monsters that were engaged in fierce battle nearby couldn't help but stop what they were doing and turn their gazes toward this place.
At this extremely tense moment, the sleeping woman's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if there was a slight possibility that she would wake up.
Upon seeing this, the elders were startled, and their expressions became solemn.
Suddenly, several tiny bubbles appeared around her mouth and nose.
Her body began to show faint breathing, as if a sleeping soul was slowly awakening.
The life force within his body grew stronger and more powerful in the blink of an eye.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
The heartbeat grew clearer and stronger with each beat.
Although the black arrow was still piercing her chest, its power had been greatly diminished over time and it could no longer completely suppress her.
At the same time, the silver light emanating from her body became increasingly dazzling.
Although she did not intentionally attack anyone, the powerful force that swept outwards indiscriminately still forced back the surrounding sea monsters and the elders of the Hundred Swords Pavilion, forcing them to retreat repeatedly to avoid this sharp edge.
They could all clearly see that the sword intent emanating from the woman was engaged in a fierce struggle with the black arrow embedded in her chest.
The sword intent was sharp and fierce, attempting to break free of its restraints and awaken the woman; while the arrow remained steady and unmoving, trying to continue suppressing her in her slumber.
This is a life-or-death struggle: either wake up and regain your freedom, or continue to slumber at the bottom of the sea, never to see the light of day again.
"Continue, don't give her any chance to catch her breath!" the leading elder commanded decisively.
All sorts of attacks surged forth with overwhelming force, determined to completely engulf the sleeping woman.
The sea monsters were stunned and stood there for a moment.
However, led by the transformed demon, they quickly came to their senses and began to obstruct the Hundred Swords Pavilion's actions.
The two sides once again engaged in fierce combat.
After sleeping for ten years in the seabed crevice, her body finally began to slowly rise, shimmering with a glassy luster.
Her life force burst forth without reservation, like a surging river, endlessly washing away the deadly power carried by the black arrow, attempting to completely erase it.
Blood seeped from her chest again, but her heart had healed and was beating strongly, as if announcing her return to the world.
Black and white, death and life, all converge at this moment.
Everyone felt a slight, involuntary pain in their hearts, as if they were experiencing the same sensation.
The jet-black arrow looked ordinary, yet an indescribable force pressed down on their hearts, making both the sea monster and the cultivator feel uncomfortable, as if they were being suppressed by an invisible mountain, making it difficult to breathe.
As the sword intent within the woman continued to accumulate, that fierce power finally reached its peak, becoming unstoppable.
Although the black arrow was still embedded in her chest, the suppressive force on it was no longer able to contend with the sword intent within the woman's body, and it could be completely overturned at any moment.
At this moment, her body is like a volcano about to erupt.
"Oh no!" The elders exclaimed in alarm upon seeing this, their faces showing fear.
They sensed the terror of that power and immediately strengthened their defenses, retreating swiftly without looking back, fearing that if they were too slow, they would become victims of her sword.
The jet-black arrow could no longer suppress her and fell from the wound, while the sword intent on the woman's body erupted completely in an instant!
A streak of snow-white sword light cleaved straight out, cutting through the sea.
Wherever the sword light passed, the seawater was forcibly parted, evaporated and dissipated into the air, forming a channel that led directly to the sea surface, turning a natural barrier into a thoroughfare.
This powerful force erupted from her like a volcanic eruption, causing the entire seabed fissure to collapse under its impact.
Huge rocks rolled and the sea surged.
The elders felt an irresistible force pushing them toward the sea.
When they finally broke through the sea and looked back—
The entire Jinghonghai Sea was boiling, with surging waves and towering billows.
A huge sword mark not only dispelled the clear sky, but also cleaved open the vast blue waves, even exposing the sand and stones on the seabed.
Meanwhile, the fish that had suddenly lost the seawater were helplessly wagging their tails on the rocks.
"A single sword splits the sea!" The elders were dumbfounded.
