The tension in the atmosphere was slightly alleviated, but the whale Heavenly Void Spirit did not pause to rest. It continued to chip away at Xiao Ze's power with its relentless attacks.
An Lin was actually in agreement with what Xue Zhantian had proposed. As opposed to just defending for their lives, he was more inclined to stage a counterattack on the Heavenly Void Spirit.
Although defeating the Heavenly Void Spirit wouldn't guarantee that the Heavenly Void Beast would open its mouth, it would at least enable everyone to hold on for a little bit longer!
The important thing to think about was what method of attack they could use to defeat this whale.
It would be quite difficult to use conventional methods. After all, everyone saw what happened to Chang Zang. If they weren't careful, they could be put out of commission in an instant! This whale was powerful enough to severely wound a Return to Void Intermediate Stage mighty figure in one attack.
Xiao Ze's offensive prowess wasn't as insane as his defense. The offensive prowess of everyone else here also wasn't much better than Chang Zang's power. If they really did stage a counterattack, they would have to be extremely cautious of the whale dividing and conquering them one by one. If that were to happen, they would really be screwed.
After some discussion, everyone arrived at a consensus; Xiao Ze was to be responsible for protecting everyone, while everyone else would be tasked with the role of unleashing attacks on the whale. As such, even though the team would lose Xiao Ze's offensive output, it would at least allow them to control the situation, thereby avoiding unforeseen risks.
After coming to a consensus, everyone immediately agreed on a course of action. The whale Heavenly Void Spirit crashed into Xiao Ze's True Dragon Wall before being rebounded by the force of the impact. It was at this moment that everyone finally sprang into action!
A hundred thousand soul warriors burst forth from Merlin's banner in a frenzy while unleashing a Blood Sea Trapping Formation, thereby ensnaring the whale as countless crimson soul warriors converged on the whale.
A lotus flower over ten thousand feet in size descended from the sky while congealing the air around the whale, thus causing its massive body to falter for a split second.
It was also during that split second that the Night Patrol God's countless black chains bound the whale's body.
At the same time, the three mighty figures responsible for slaying the whale all unleashed their most powerful attacks at once.
Countless golden symbols began to revolve around Chang He's Buddhist staff as the power of great mercy and majesty descended from the sky in the form of a pillar of light several hundred meters in radius before striking the whale's body.
The earth tremored violently, and everything encompassed within the pillar of light was instantly reduced to dust as the monstrous power threatened to puncture through the entire continent!
"Waah!" the whale roared with pain.
At the same time, Tobias descended upon the whale and unleashed both fists at once, which caused countless spatial cracks to appear within a radius of five kilometers.
The atmosphere between heaven and earth was condensed into a massive, flat pancake by the force of his fists as an earth-shattering boom exploded forth!
The pitch-black body of the whale Heavenly Void Spirit began to show signs of crumbling at this moment!
However, it seemed to have been completely enraged by these two attacks as its body became extremely dark in color. In the instant after Tobias unleashed his attack, the whale struggled free from the chains and the sealing power of the lotus flower before streaking toward Tobias at extreme speed.
Tobias' entire body was twisted out of shape by the whale's monstrous attack, and he almost exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
If the attack had been unleashed on someone like Chang He or Celestial Maiden He who didn't possess the insane life force of a Blood Tribe cultivator, they would most likely have been killed on the spot.
A crimson sword projection descended from the sky in the same split second that Tobias' body was knocked flying. The sword projection tore through the air at the speed of lightning before instantly puncturing through the whale's body.
"Waah..."
The whale's body was almost sliced in half by the crimson sword projection, and it let loose a crazed roar of rage.
"No... the combination attack wasn't powerful enough to kill it. Come back!" Xiao Ze's expression shifted as he yelled in a panicked voice.
Everyone had just used their most powerful attacks, which were extremely taxing to unleash, so there was no way they could unleash the same attack again in quick succession. After witnessing the whale survive their combination, everyone immediately converged toward Xiao Ze.
The whale was obviously not going to let them retreat so easily. An aura as vast as the sea burst forth from its body before it swept toward everyone with a boundless might that seemed to be imbued with the power of heaven and earth.
Cassidy was in the process of dragging the severely wounded Tobias toward Xiao Ze, but an extremely intimidating sense of impending death enveloped her entire body in the next instant. This was an absolutely horrifying feeling, as if her body and soul were going to be wiped away from the face of this world!
Fortunately, Xiao Ze managed to predict the target of the whale's attack, and he instantly conjured up a True Dragon Wall behind Cassidy.
Boom!
An earth-shattering boom erupted, and a collision even more devastating than any of the previous collisions took place as spatial cracks appeared in the air. On the ground below, massive craters and fissures began to appear.
Crack...
Thin cracks began to appear on the True Dragon Wall.
Xiao Ze's so-called invincible defense was hastily unleashed, and it showed signs of crumbling in the face of the whale's monstrous attack. At the same time, the backlash from the damage sustained by the True Dragon caused his blood to surge within his body as blood dripped down from the corner of his mouth.
In the sky above, the lotus flower suddenly began to glow with an extremely scintillating light as the spatial seal was activated again!
A hundred thousand soul warriors unleashed the blood sealing formation to its fullest extent.
Black chains tore through space before ensnaring the whale!
Everyone seemed to have developed a tacit understanding with each other at that moment. They all chose to overexert themselves in order to unleash the most powerful sealing techniques they were capable of.
This was their Plan B—to seal the Heavenly Void Spirit during its cooldown period right after it unleashed its most powerful attack in order to create a split second of opportunity for a certain someone.
White light flashed as a beautiful fairy appeared within a hundred-meter distance of the whale. She had her slender hands pressed on An Lin's shoulders as a peculiar power enveloped An Lin's body.
The image of a golden eye appeared on An Lin's forehead as golden ripples began to proliferate outward.
Divine Plunder Technique!
He didn't know what he was going to be able to plunder from this Heavenly Void Spirit, nor did he know how he was supposed to defeat this insanely powerful Heavenly Void Spirit.
However, he knew he had to do something. Even if it was just by blind luck, he had to try and see if he could plunder a vital spell technique from the whale in order to flip the tables on this dire situation!
This was the only thing he could do.
Everyone turned their eyes upon An Lin, and at this moment, he became the most critical person. After failing to kill the whale with their combination attack, An Lin was their only hope.
However, a dumbstruck expression appeared on An Lin's face when he couldn't detect any spell techniques or abilities that he could plunder using his Divine Plunder Technique.
Just as he thought that he had failed, a mighty suction force suddenly burst forth from the image of the golden eyes on his forehead before creating a spatial vortex.
The Heavenly Void Spirit wailed in anguish as it began to struggle, but it was completely unable to resist the suction force as its massive body disappeared into the image of the golden eye.
An Lin blinked with a perplexed expression while the Divine Plunder Technique slowly faded.
Everyone was instantly rooted to the spot. They even forgot how to breathe.
Celestial Maiden He finally broke the silence after coming to her senses and asked, "Did An Lin absorb the Heavenly Void Spirit?"
Xiao Ze also came to his senses. He turned a scorching gaze of admiration and reverence on An Lin as he said, "I thought the Xiao family ancestors were already bad*ss for their ability to use Bodies of Chaotic Essence as cores to construct divine tools. Who would have thought that Master can absorb them directly into his body! That's even more bad*ss!"
Everyone turned to An Lin with awe and veneration on their faces, and they felt like he was growing in stature before their very eyes...
An Lin was dumbstruck himself, but he soon figured out what had happened.
His Divine Plunder Technique was able to plunder the target's spell techniques and abilities. However, he was currently situated within the body of the Heavenly Void Beast, which meant that after using the Divine Plunder Technique... Could it be that the target was the Heavenly Void Beast instead of the Heavenly Void Spirit?
The Heavenly Void Spirit was a Body of Chaotic Essence born inside the Heavenly Void Beast, so it could be said that this was one of the Heavenly Void Beast's special abilities. On top of that, An Lin was in extremely close proximity to the Body of Chaotic Essence, so could it be that the Divine Plunder Technique had accepted the Heavenly Void Spirit as its target by default?
This was the only theory An Lin could come up with.
However, there was another question now. He had just plundered the Body of Chaotic Essence, but he didn't feel like he had the ability to use the Body of Chaotic Essence. So where had the Body of Chaotic Essence gone?
He didn't feel like he had gained any new spell techniques or abilities.
It couldn't have just disappeared into thin air, right?
He decided to survey his own body to see if there was anything different. He surveyed his consciousness before turning his attention to his sea of vital energy...
His eyes widened, and he drew a sharp intake as he focused his gaze on his sea of vital energy!
