Without any hesitation, Chu Fengmian activated his Spiritual Power, transforming his figure into a beam of Tunneling Light, and rapidly dashed towards the crack within the Primordial Whale Emperor’s internal world.
This Tunneling Light compressed Chu Fengmian’s figure to its smallest possible state, aiming to pass through this crack and escape directly from the Primordial Whale Emperor’s inner world.
However, just as the Tunneling Light that Chu Fengmian had transformed into approached the crack, Chu Fengmian felt a force blocking his way.
This internal world of the Primordial Whale Emperor, although having a gap, a crack, still the crack was too small for Chu Fengmian’s body to exit through.
Chu Fengmian repeatedly tried several times, all to no success.
"It’s still not working."
After many attempts, Chu Fengmian also realized that this small crack was not enough to allow him to escape from the Primordial Whale Emperor’s internal world.
The only option was to enlarge the crack.
But at this moment, Chu Fengmian did not dare to act rashly. Being trapped in the Primordial Whale Emperor’s body, in his view, Chu Fengmian was probably considered a dead man, left to cultivate inside.
If Chu Fengmian were to cause any disturbance and catch the attention of the Primordial Whale Emperor, he would likely be the first one killed by the Primordial Whale Emperor.
The Primordial Whale Emperor was indeed on par to a Heavenly Human Realm Immortal Marquis, his strength terrifying to the extreme, and a casual blow could kill Chu Fengmian, requiring Chu Fengmian to be extremely cautious at all times.
"My body may not pass, but my Spiritual Sense should not be a problem."
Chu Fengmian observed the crack for a moment. Although it was extremely narrow and his physical body couldn’t pass through, since the crack allowed Demon Intent to seep out, Chu Fengmian’s Spiritual Sense should be able to exit.
Though Chu Fengmian couldn’t escape through this crack, if he could send out his Spiritual Sense, he could then observe what was happening, who was targeting the Primordial Whale Emperor, and find a good time to escape.
Chu Fengmian made a mental effort to drive his Spiritual Sense close to the crack.
The Spiritual Sense, upon nearing the crack, did not receive the same level of rejection as Chu Fengmian’s physical form had earlier.
This brought joy to Chu Fengmian’s heart, allowing his Spiritual Sense to quietly pass through the crack and fly out.
Once outside this inner world, Chu Fengmian’s Spiritual Sense returned immediately to the chaotic sea.
From afar, the Primordial Whale Emperor was still slumbering in the core of the chaotic sea, a long spear thrust into its back.
The spear had pierced deeply into the Primordial Whale Emperor’s flesh.
Chu Fengmian could tell that it was due to the spear penetrating the Primordial Whale Emperor’s back that a crack appeared in his internal world, allowing Chu Fengmian’s Spiritual Sense to escape.
"This spear, is it an Immortal Artifact?"
Observing the spear, Chu Fengmian noticed the churning Demon Intent emanating from it. This Demon Intent seemed to have infiltrated the Primordial Whale Emperor’s body, sapping its strength.
The fact it could penetrate the Primordial Whale Emperor’s body indicated the Immortal Artifact was of extremely high quality, even more so than the Trident of Emperor Donglin.
What surprised Chu Fengmian was the Demon Intent coming from the spear, marking it as a cherished artifact of a Demon Dao strongman.
The one who battled the Primordial Whale Emperor was actually a Demon Path strongman.
Though Chu Fengmian had long heard of the presence of several Demon Path strongmen in this chaotic sea, some considered to be Demon Dao Giants with terrifying human-realm-level powers.
Yet this was just rumor until now; seeing the spear, Chu Fengmian realized those tales were true.
But why would a Demon Path strongman attack the Primordial Whale Emperor?
Chu Fengmian perceived that this spear was intentionally left in the Primordial Whale Emperor by the Demon Path strongman to deplete the Emperor’s strength.
Clearly, it was intended to lay the groundwork for the next confrontation against the Primordial Whale Emperor.
"The chaotic sea indeed hides shocking secrets, but I have no need to involve myself. With someone attacking the Primordial Whale Emperor, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me."
Chu Fengmian thought to himself in secrecy.
Trapped in the Primordial Whale Emperor’s internal world, only during a battle or if the Emperor were injured could Chu Fengmian seize a moment to escape.
Someone targeting the Primordial Whale Emperor was good news for Chu Fengmian.
However, Chu Fengmian was painfully aware that these Demon Dao Giants were ruthless, and fighting the Primordial Whale Emperor meant they were up to something grand.
If they discovered Chu Fengmian’s presence, he might be killed, so he could not afford to lower his guard.
He had to find an opportunity amidst the conflict between the Primordial Whale Emperor and the Demon Path strongman to escape alive.
"Is someone coming?"
Just then, Chu Fengmian felt a wave of Spiritual Power radiating from the edge of the chaotic sea.
It seemed like a Tunneling Light had arrived at the edge of the chaotic sea.
With the Primordial Whale Emperor’s awakening, many hidden warriors and demon gods in the chaotic sea had fled or hidden themselves.
Such a conspicuous descent of a Tunneling Light was uncommon.
Especially within the Spiritual Power fluctuation, Chu Fengmian sensed a faint trace of Immortal Power, albeit not pure, but a power only warriors and demon gods who overcame the great tribulation of the heavens would possess.
There was indeed a Heavenly Human Realm strongman arriving at the edge of the chaotic sea.
"Let’s go and see."
With a grave look, Chu Fengmian stealthily concealed his body, a form condensed from Spiritual Sense masked by a secret technique, making it nearly impossible for a Heavenly Human Realm strongman to detect him outright.
Moreover, Chu Fengmian’s physical body was hidden within the Primordial Whale Emperor; as long as his Spiritual Sense self-destructed, others wouldn’t trace back to Chu Fengmian’s actual location.
In such a safe situation, Chu Fengmian wanted to see who it was that dared to target the Primordial Whale Emperor.
