There was no retreat.

Forced into a desperate situation, Wang Junze instead became completely calm.

When pursuing the Mirage Dragon into the sea, Wang Junze admitted he was indeed a bit impulsive. The main issue was that having grown up in the Northern Domain, Wang Junze lacked a sense of awe towards the sea.

After all, for a cultivator of the Heaven-Stepping Realm, the influence of the environment was largely ignored subconsciously.

But now, the Nether Sea gave him a harsh lesson with reality.

No point regretting it at this stage.

Moreover, even if given another chance, Wang Junze might make the same choice. After all, killing the Mirage Dragon to prevent the leak of information was too important for him.

So the question was, why did he dare to chase it into the sea, knowing full well the Mirage Dragon could erase the aftermath of this storm?

Water Sword Intent!

Earlier, when he arrived at the shore of the Nether Sea and saw it for the first time, Wang Junze felt this was the place where he had the greatest hope of comprehending the Water Sword Intent.

Now, even though the Mirage Dragon controlled the waves, making it extremely dangerous, from another perspective, wasn't this an opportunity to further comprehend the Water Sword Intent?

Many times, crises inherently contain great opportunities.

Choosing to leave the Northern Domain and not stay in the Profound Moon Sword Sect for cultivation meant Wang Junze willingly embarked on this dangerous path, so what reason was there to complain about danger?

These thoughts took long to express, but in reality, it all happened in a flash.

The next moment, the towering waves crashed down again.

But when Wang Junze looked up at the terrifying giant wave this time, his mindset had completely changed.

Whether it's a trickling stream, a river or lake, an ocean, or towering waves…aren't they all water?!

Wang Junze had seen water, but in the Northern Domain, the water he had seen was too gentle.

So, even though he had touched the Water Sword Intent, he seemed to always fall short of truly understanding it.

It was the two rains that allowed him to comprehend the Rain Sword Intent effortlessly, yet he lacked the profound understanding of the Water Sword Intent, this most essential force.

Now, in the Nether Sea, the towering waves raised by the Mirage Dragon allowed him to see the most fierce and violent side of water.

Boom!

Beneath the huge wave, Wang Junze didn't choose to cut the wave with his sword this time, nor did he attempt to dodge. Instead, he faced the terrifying giant wave head-on, trying to understand its power and merge himself into it.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Junze was swept into the sea by the waves again. At this moment, he felt no fear at all. Instead, he began to have an inkling of understanding.

Overcoming the fear in his heart, Wang Junze quickly realized that this kind of wave wasn't as terrifying as it seemed.

Having already grasped a trace of Water Sword Intent, he didn't fear water despite not being adept at swimming; on the contrary, he felt a kinship with it.

As long as he followed the power of the water flow, it was actually easy to deflect the force of the waves and integrate himself into the water.

"Hahaha, afraid? Ignorant human, the ocean is the Dragon Race's domain. I'll make you die in fear!"

The Mirage Dragon was completely unaware of Wang Junze's change. He even began to laugh out loud in ridicule.

Also, the previous victory made him lower his guard further. Using the power of the sea, he didn't regard Wang Junze as a threat at all. In the blink of an eye, with a flick of its tail, it raised another surge, once again hurling Wang Junze out of the water.

But the Mirage Dragon hadn't noticed that this time, though Wang Junze flew out of the sea, it wasn't like before where he was swept into the air. Instead, he rose with the current, as if standing on the crest of the wave.

"So this is the Power of Water… I quite like these waves!"

In a breath, standing on the crest, Wang Junze easily stabilized himself. His eyes shimmered with delight as he softly spoke.

"Hmm?"

It was only at this moment that the Mirage Dragon finally realized something seemed amiss.

What's going on?

Even for those who've lived in the ocean for many years, facing waves like these, it's impossible to step on the crest as if walking leisurely through a courtyard!

No, this isn't right!

Could it be that his inability to swim was all an act?

A thousand thoughts raced through the Mirage Dragon's mind, but before it could process them, the sword in Wang Junze's hand was already raised again.

"Had enough fun? Then… it's my turn to attack now!"

His eyes shone brightly, and with a slight curve at the corner of his mouth, Wang Junze spoke leisurely.

As his words fell, the True Qi within exploded forth. In an instant, the Water Sword Intent broke through, and the towering waves beneath him seemed to transform into a terrifying sword edge, slashing fiercely at the Mirage Dragon!

Walking on waves, transforming waves into a sword!

The giant wave beneath was no longer a threat to Wang Junze. Instead, it became a blade in his hand!

The Sword Intent was overwhelming!

The Water Sword Intent, with that slash, broke through entirely and transformed into a power that belonged solely to Wang Junze.

"Ooh!"

The more arrogant the Mirage Dragon had been earlier, the more miserable it was now.

If it had hidden in the sea, even if Wang Junze comprehended the Water Sword Intent, transforming waves into a sword, this attack might not have harmed it. After all, as the Mirage Dragon said, the sea is a natural refuge for the Dragon Race. By diving into the sea, no matter how powerful the blade was, the sea would absorb its force, rendering it harmless to it.

Regarding Wang Junze chasing it to the seabed, even with the understanding of the Water Sword Intent, Wang Junze couldn't catch up with the Mirage Dragon in the sea.

At least, with Wang Junze's current comprehension of the Water Sword Intent, he was far from achieving that.

However, due to the previous advantage, believing he could easily defeat Wang Junze, the Mirage Dragon did not bother to hide its true form. It left itself exposed on the surface.

In this situation, faced with Wang Junze's full-powered slash after his breakthrough, there was no chance of evasion.

With a thunderous roar, the sword formed by the waves slashed fiercely at the Mirage Dragon, sending it flying, and more terrifyingly, Wang Junze's sword followed closely, piercing right through the Mirage Dragon's body with irresistible force!

The Mirage Dragon, already injured, suffered another heavy blow, letting out a mournful wail as its body rolled over, trying to shake Wang Junze off.

But unfortunately, with the sword edge piercing through its body, Wang Junze held firmly to the sword hilt, remaining nailed to it. The more the Mirage Dragon struggled, the more damage the embedded sword edge inflicted.

Dragon Blood sprayed out continuously, even dyeing a whole section of the sea red.
