"It's not good... not good at all! The demon race has broken through the sealing barrier and is rushing out!"
A loud shout echoed from not far away. The cultivators quickly withdrew their thoughts, their gazes filled with solemn vigilance! This was not the time to be reminiscing about the strong...
At this moment...
Jin Bao'er was jolted awake by a deafening roar. However, the moment she opened her eyes, her body uncontrollably flew upwards. Before she could even activate her defensive formation, a large volume of water directly splashed onto her face and body!
This forced her to swallow back all the words she had intended to say. It wasn't until she broke through the surface and was forced to hang suspended in the air that she could speak again!
She was furious, her face darkening instantly! She let out a furious roar, her voice filled with gritted teeth and burning rage.
"Long! Li! Xing!"
As soon as her words fell, as if in response to her anger, a sharp and blinding light descended from the sky, directly striking her forehead...
Almost instantaneously, the woman who had just been radiating spiritual energy and was exceptionally beautiful was struck, her hair smoking, her clothes scorched black, and her eyes dazed! Her magic robe was directly destroyed!
The pain from her body made her suddenly react. She realized the spiritual energy and overflowing aura filling her body, and she was stunned! Having already advanced to the late stage of Deity Transformation, she knew that further advancement would be difficult. She had decided to relax her mindset and focus on honing herself, accumulating strength little by little!
What was the situation now? She had only fainted for a moment, and upon waking up...
Then, she abruptly raised her head, her eyes looking in shock at the dark and gloomy sky. The faint, vast, and sweeping heavenly thunder energy emanating from it was clearly a sign of advancement...
Seeing that the second bolt of heavenly thunder was about to fully form, she had no time to ponder what had just happened. Instinctively, she unleashed her full power to resist! Fortunately, the abundant spiritual energy provided by the Elven Tree branches had already restored her lost stamina!
Moreover... she could feel a vast power coursing through her meridians, as if a missing part of her had finally returned. Her sea of consciousness also rapidly expanded. The immense power made her feel incredibly comfortable, as if... this was how it was supposed to be!
When the second wave of heavenly thunder descended, she instinctively reached out her hand, and then! She easily caught the heavenly thunder and guided it into her own body, cleansing her marrow and meridians. Her body underwent intense tingling and pain, tearing! Healing! Rebirth! Finally becoming even more robust!
This scene stunned the Mermaid Queen who had once ascended to the Out-of-Body stage! She couldn't help but widen her eyes as she watched... As a former strong cultivator at the early stage of Out-of-Body, she knew very well how powerful heavenly thunder was. Even so, she had almost lost half her life to endure it back then...
Yet, the woman before her had caught it with her bare hands and used it to temper herself! This... she had only ever seen this on her mother!
As if unexpected by Jin Bao'er's audacity, the heavenly thunder in the sky felt provoked. With surging fury, the dark clouds rapidly churned, and thick bolts of heavenly thunder writhed within the clouds with incredible speed.
They faintly emitted a purple glow, appearing truly astonishing!
Seeing this, Jin Bao'er frowned. The moment she gently extended her right hand, a silver-white light flared, and a black dragon longsword appeared in her hand, exuding a sharp aura! It was poised to cleave through the heavenly thunder.
The next second, astonishing purple heavenly thunder descended from the sky! Carrying an unstoppable might, it charged directly towards Jin Bao'er, seemingly determined to shatter this ignorant cultivator into pieces!
However, before it could fall, the figure in mid-air directly met it, facing the heavenly thunder with her petite and seemingly weak form...
"Boom!"
An intensely blinding lightning flash instantly expanded in the air. The power, laced with the aura of the Heavenly Dao, rapidly dispersed in a circular pattern! With the force to destroy everything, it made one's heart pound and compelled them to shrink into a corner, silently awaiting death!
The sea surface was directly impacted by the pressure. All the seawater instantly surged outwards from Jin Bao'er's position, forming a massive water pit... The unfathomably deep seabed was soon revealed, with a few fish faintly struggling and leaping on the seabed mud, clearly in a panic!
The next second, that power suddenly spread out, and the seawater lost its oppressive force, gradually surging back into the pit. The massive waves crashed against each other, creating bursts of churning spray, filled with vigor!
Beneath the three bolts of heavenly thunder, the slender and upright figure slightly bowed her head. Her disheveled body was surrounded by spiritual energy. Although her aura was chaotic and her chest heaved violently, she was, on the whole, stable.
At this point, all the mermaids and mermen took the opportunity to swim towards the island, fearing being drawn into the seabed vortex or swept away by the waves again! On the not-too-large island, all the mermaids and mermen soon gathered. At this moment, no one dared to speak.
The golden male mermaid raised his head, his gaze complex and dazed as he looked at the almost invisible figure in the sky. He couldn't help but recall her appearance when she fought him underwater...
Completely different from her current majestic ferocity! Was it because it was inconvenient underwater? So... he was no match for that human at all!
Jin Bao'er looked up at the furious roars coming from the sky, seemingly displeased with her actions... A more severe look of solemnity appeared in her eyes!
There was no choice. She didn't know why such a power had suddenly appeared within her, causing her to directly reach her peak and begin to break through to the Out-of-Body stage. However, her body had not yet reached that level. If she were to confront it head-on, she feared she would be shattered into dust!
The only course of action was to endure it first!
According to the sequence, the fourth bolt of heavenly thunder represented authority! She could not strike it, or it would truly be a slap in the face to the Heavenly Dao, and she would likely never welcome the light of ascension in this lifetime!
Thinking this, she slowly lowered her Soul Slaying sword, her gaze fixed on the sky. She should... be able to withstand it, right! After all, she still had a trump card!
With this thought, the fourth bolt of heavenly thunder, carrying purple energy, descended upon her. It was even sharper than before! It carried a suffocating sense of deterrence that washed over her...
"Boom!!"
In an instant, the entire sky changed dramatically! The sea surged wildly, and astonishing gusts of wind instantly formed, sweeping all the seawater into the sky! It was as if giant dragons were soaring upwards, roaring and struggling ferociously!
Jin Bao'er, who directly faced the heavenly thunder of the Heavenly Dao's authority, had all her power shattered. Her vision blackened, and she fell directly from the sky, her aura disappearing without a trace at that moment...
The small black shadow plunged into the sea. Amidst the howling gales, it did not stir the slightest ripple!
Within the Immortal Abode, a man in black clothes frowned, his expression becoming increasingly stern, his aura cold and resolute! A trace of worry flashed in his purple eyes, yet he surprisingly made no move.
Beside him were the three little ones who had been woken up and were frantically worried...
"She's dying! What are you still waiting for? Open the Immortal Abode!"
