374: Second move

Li Changfeng and the others waited and waited, but Old Potato never appeared.

"He's not coming."

Autumn Mountain shook his head, saying, "He's truly cautious."

"Tsk, what a pity..."

Someone suddenly uttered this sentence, immediately drawing everyone's gaze.

"It's a pity we couldn't directly eliminate Feng Chuan."

Everyone averted their gaze, but their expressions remained tense.

It was impossible to unite the Golden Core Playerss completely.

Feng Chuan hadn't even been dealt with yet, only being held back by the Cloud-Swallowing Whale, and the Golden Core Playerss present were already considering other matters.

For example, the powerful exotic flame capable of fighting a Nascent Soul.

"Don't target Old Potato."

Li Changfeng said sternly, "He exposed his exotic flame to help us; otherwise, he could have kept it hidden.

"If Old Potato dies here and his exotic flame is taken, just think, will we be able to recruit powerful individuals to fight the natives in the future?"

At least wait until we get the Nascent Soul Method.

Of course, Li Changfeng didn't voice the latter part.

"Don't worry, at least I won't lay a hand on him."

Autumn Mountain said, "Our Seiya Sect isn't that despicable."

Other Golden Core Playerss nearby also chimed in:

"Indeed, our goal this time is to seize the Nascent Soul Method. This is a rare collective action by all Golden Core Playerss. Whoever attacks an ally is a traitor to all Golden Core Playerss!"

"Old Potato will definitely be fine, I guarantee it!"

"By the way, isn't something strange happening with the Cloud-Swallowing Whale?"

It was only then that everyone noticed.

Unbeknownst to them, the battle on the Cloud-Swallowing Whale's side had gradually slowed down.

Initially, it was a fierce struggle between boundless clouds and valley gales, with constant ripples in the void, and sounds unable to propagate, only blurry shadows barely discernible to everyone.

Gradually, the scene everyone could see became clearer.

True Lord Feng Chuan hovered in mid-air, clad in tattered clothes, both his arms and his right leg broken, a large hole in his chest, and a very grim expression.

The Cloud-Swallowing Whale, however, appeared somewhat eerie; the city on its back was surprisingly untouched by the battle, still intact, without any signs of damage, not even a single piece of rubble.

Its body also remained whole, its blue and white skin almost merging with the blue sky and white clouds, yet appearing very powerful due to its movement.

It was unclear whether its recovery ability was fast, or if Feng Chuan simply couldn't break through its defense.

"He's still not coming out..."

Feng Chuan looked unwillingly at the Cloud-Swallowing Whale, then scanned everything around him.

From a Nascent Soul's perspective, his stay wasn't long.

But judging by his injuries, he was indeed very weak now.

The mastermind behind the Extraterrestrial Demon, even if he were a Nascent Soul of the same rank, should have emerged by now to take his head.

But the other party remained silent.

Not only did his true body not show up, but there wasn't even a probing Flying Sword, nor any Spiritual Sense fluctuations.

Was he really that cautious?

Or rather... "There is no mastermind? Is this a special ability of their race?"

Feng Chuan muttered, his figure flickered, and ripples spread through the surrounding void.

Boom!

The Cloud-Swallowing Whale slammed forward fiercely, its massive body the most oppressive weapon, a powerful blow that almost tore the sky apart.

However, Feng Chuan had successfully escaped, vanishing without a trace.

The giant whale soared in the sky for a while, making gurgling sounds, its eyes slowly closing as if tired, gradually disappearing into the clouds.

"Kumu, now!"

Suddenly, Li Changfeng shouted.

The surrounding Golden Core Playerss all trembled, not quite understanding what he intended to do.

Then, a dazzling light exploded in the sky, and a magnificent fiery red flower spun out of the light, aiming at one side of the giant whale. Its petals extended suddenly, like spears shooting out from the flower, fiercely stabbing towards the giant whale.

Boom!

The Golden Core Playerss could only see the right side of the giant whale's body erupting with exotic flame light, no smoke, only extreme, brilliant fiery red.

"What's happening?"

"What happened?"

"Was it Old Potato?"

"No, Li Changfeng didn't shout Old Potato just now, it seemed to be Kumu?"

"The Kumu who cooks? How could he..."

On the edge of the firelight, a twenty-meter-tall Yao Beast suddenly appeared.

Strangely, the main body of this Yao Beast was refined iron, its four limbs were an ox demon's arm, a horse demon's hoof, a deer demon's horn, and a rotating cutting blade.

"A Puppet?"

A Golden Core Players recognized it, feeling somewhat surprised after covering it with his Spiritual Sense.

"Its strength, combined with the exotic flame, is comparable to a fifth-grade? No, perhaps it can reach fourth-grade? Who built this?"

"Li Changfeng, did you do this?"

"You secretly allied with Old Potato, prepared a Puppet to cooperate with the exotic flame, and plan to strike hard at the Cloud-Swallowing Whale after it's exhausted. What do you intend to do?"

"Is this your true purpose?"

Facing everyone's questions, Li Changfeng's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly said:

"If I wanted to hide it from you, I wouldn't have shouted it out.

"This operation is basically a failure. Feng Chuan, as a Nascent Soul, has too many escape methods, and this stupid Spirit Beast, the Cloud-Swallowing Whale, simply can't trap him.

"Seizing the Nascent Soul Method from the Qingling Sect will require a long-term plan.

"However, we cannot return empty-handed."

Li Changfeng suddenly stretched out his arm, pointing towards the distant Cloud-Swallowing Whale.

At this moment, the Cloud-Swallowing Whale was trapped by the exotic flame, and the Golden Core Playerss dared not rush forward. Only the specially built Puppet was still churning within the exotic flame, seemingly cutting flesh from the giant whale's body.

"The Five Elements Dao Lineage, also known as the Immortal Foundation Dao Lineage, has one major difference from other Dao Lineages."

Li Changfeng looked at the Cloud-Swallowing Whale, licking his lips: "We can rely on dietary supplements to complete our Divine Abilities, and then attempt a Breakthrough.

"There's no need to search for any Nascent Soul Method anymore.

"Just pinpoint the necessary Immortal Foundation, cook it into a great medicine, and you can complete all five Divine Abilities."

The Golden Core Playerss looked at each other, and someone asked:

"We've naturally considered this method, but completing Divine Abilities with Immortal Foundation will make breaking through to Nascent Soul extremely difficult, almost impossible to succeed."

Li Changfeng laughed heartily:

"That's why we need the Cloud-Swallowing Whale!"

"With this fourth-grade Spirit Beast as the main dish, do you all have the courage to Break through?"

Everyone trembled at this.

The firelight in the sky became increasingly apparent, and the Puppet utilizing the exotic flame became more agile, constantly searching for weak points on the giant whale.

Suddenly, a cluster of wind blades exploded from the giant whale's right abdomen. The sharp wind blades continuously overlapped and cut, causing the giant whale to let out a mournful cry.

Li Changfeng's expression subtly changed.

"A method left by Feng Chuan?

"If we calculate it this way, one of the Divine Abilities he displayed was the wind Divine Ability that trapped the giant whale, which should be related to the use of sound, a certain variation of wind.

"Next was the most conventional wind blade method, a pure attack, and the favorite habitual method of strong cultivators of wind Divine Abilities, nothing much to comment on.

"The one exploding now should be the third type, right? Buried within the enemy's body, leaving behind a seed of wind, which activated because the exotic flame caused changes in the surrounding environment?

"Three wind Divine Abilities..."

Li Changfeng pondered Feng Chuan's Divine Abilities, while the other Golden Core Playerss widened their eyes.

On the right side of the giant whale, flesh began to fall off.
