Primordial Altar.

Qi Sheng’s sight switched to the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range area.

On the screen, players wearing flowing robes stood on Cloud Hidden Dragon Flying Swords that sparkled with spirit light, like walking on air, depicting a thrilling sword control chase in the sky.

Their figures shuttled between the seas of clouds, sometimes hiding in the mist, sometimes breaking through the clouds.

Their expressions were serious, eyes showing undetectable anticipation.

In front of them was a big bird soaring high, each white feather glowing under the moonlight, its body cloaked in brilliant colors.

Every flap of its wings could stir up the wind and clouds, causing the surrounding air to fluctuate violently, creating visually discernible whirlwinds, sometimes diving swiftly, shuttling between the towering mountains, using the complex terrain to maneuver against the players, sometimes leisurely ascending, rushing straight to the sky, challenging the player’s skills and sense of balance under extreme flight conditions.

The overly erratic flight trajectory made players curse on the voice channel.

Players continuously fell from the sky, promptly switching to armed mode, ready for free fall.

Some skilled players switched back to armed form, then switched back to vehicle form in mid-air, stepping onto the flying sword for a second chase.

Since many players used the simplified version of the Cloud Hidden Dragon, in speed, they were no match for Qi Die, quickly being left behind, only a very few players could follow Qi Die’s flight path closely, sticking tightly behind.

This chase attracted a lot of players’ attention, many who wanted the Wind-Controlling Soul sent cheers in the live chat of onsite players.

In the meantime, magic players gathered Ink Flame Fireballs, attempting to launch a long-range attack on Qi Die.

With Eagle-Headed Demon’s perception guidance blessing, even if the fireball deviated from its trajectory, it could correct its flight direction via consciousness.

Yet Qi Die could always abruptly release a wind wall to resist just as the Ink Flame Fireball approached, then instantly change its flight path.

The attempt to release a Binding Soul, but still couldn’t get close enough.

Players repeatedly trying, yet still unable to capture Qi Die grew somewhat irate.

Their most pressing concern began to surface.

The flying sword’s high-speed flight endurance was relatively short; as the chase continued, it approached the point of energy exhaustion.

In desperation, players summoned the store panel, purchased Spirit Stones for high-altitude embedding, providing extra endurance for the flying sword.

Players began organizing tactics in the area voice channel, spreading out, attempting to use Qi Die’s flight trajectory to try encirclement techniques.

But Qi Die could always sense in advance where players were obstructing, making encirclement tactics ineffective.

Adding to the players’ helplessness was Qi Die’s seemingly increasing flight speed.

Watching the chase, Qi Sheng could mostly predict the outcome of this chase.

His sight then zoomed in on Qi Die.

During the chase, he noticed a strange phenomenon occurring on Qi Die.

During Qi Die’s wing-flapping flight, its body would sometimes inexplicably flicker forward by a few centimeters.

The perception view saw clearly; this wasn’t a sudden acceleration, instead, the entire body flickered a distance.

Also could be understood as space jump.

This was clearly not an effect brought by Wind Control traits.

Regarding this issue, Qi Sheng sought Guidance for answers.

Faced with the inquiry, Guidance, after carefully observing Qi Die’s flight status, spoke:

[Boss, I think there’s a possibility that within Qi Die, there exists a Primordial Trait not fully activated yet, but as its strength grows, this hidden trait is being gradually activated.]

Hearing this, Qi Sheng couldn’t help but be stunned:

"A Primordial Monster can simultaneously master two Primordial Traits?"

[Uncertain, it’s just my guess. Emperor Zhao’s past experiments I did not participate in observing, so I cannot know the specifics, but I can deeply analyze Qi Die’s body structure... but this requires additional sacrificial power consumption.]

"Approximately how much?"

[Below ten thousand points will do. I can trace the energy movement trajectory inside Qi Die, searching for any unformed Primordial Power inside it.]

"Alright." Qi Sheng immediately nodded in agreement.

Guidance disappeared at this time, and soon after, the detailed structure of Qi Die’s body emerged before Qi Sheng in a 3D light and shadow form.

The screen focused on Qi Die’s heart area, where a ferociously burning cyan flame existed, precisely the "Wind Control" trait power.

Flames burst bright when Qi Die used Wind Control traits, illuminating every corner inside, with flames flickering, waves of energy spread out from the heart to the surroundings, like ripples in Qi Die’s body, flowing along its vascular system, providing continuous power for its muscles and bones.

Subsequently, these energy waves converged at the wing roots, forming ribbons glowing with shifting light, spreading along the wing’s veins, like a delicate web-like structure, covering every feather on the wings.

When traits were externalized, cyan energy overflowed outside, resonating with the wind elemental energy between heaven and earth.

That’s the principle enabling Qi Die to control the wind.

Different from normal manipulation of wind elements.

Normal manipulation of wind elements first requires gathering wind elemental energy, then manipulating wind element particles to generate desired effects.

For instance, wind blades, gales, etc.

Yet the Wind Control rule characteristics Qi Die mastered are entirely different, like a command conveyed from inside outward.

Directly issuing instructions on what the wind elements in the Monster World should do, and the world automatically follows Qi Die’s command to rearrange nearby area’s wind elements.
