CHAPTER 965: CHAPTER 964 [WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF THIS UGLY MONSTER?]

"Huh? Boss? Brother, is that you? Damn, I’m so touched, I’m crying here. You finally came to rescue me. I knew you’d come for sure. Hurry up and kill this ugly monster; I really can’t stand it anymore. Its mouth smells terrible..." Hu Gao’s first reaction upon hearing Ye Tianchen’s voice was to say these words.

"Kid, you’re actually still alive, facing such a stinky mouth every day, and you can still survive—I commend your life force." Ye Tianchen said to Hu Gao, a bit amused and exasperated.

Hu Gao, this guy, hasn’t been seen for almost a month, and even in such a desperate situation, this kid can still joke around and maintain this kind of nonsensical attitude, which kind of rubbed off on Ye Tianchen. However, Hu Gao is still alive, and Ye Tianchen’s heart finally settled. Though Hu Gao is even less reliable than him, he is a true friend who shares life and death.

"Haha, boss, my life force is indeed strong. I know there are many pretty ladies waiting for me, thinking of me. How could I bear to die? I have to live!" Hu Gao said with a hearty laugh.

Buzz!

Right after Hu Gao finished laughing, he was trapped in a small formation, disappeared in an instant, and was brought back onto the giant creature’s body. The creature twisted its head and said in an extremely cold tone, "I didn’t expect you could still be alive after being eaten. You’re the first one."

"Then I’ll also be the last one. Ugly monster, your mouth smells terrible, and your heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys all stink unbearably. I can’t take it anymore; I want to get out!" Ye Tianchen said, holding his breath.

"Hmph? Get out? I fear you’re joking too much. Inside me, there are two types of aura, each of which is enough to turn people into ashes. I think even if you’re not completely destroyed, you’re close. Stop being stubborn." The giant creature snorted coldly and said confidently.

"Is that so? I know there are two auras inside you—one that is extremely poisonous; any contact will immediately turn into ashes, and another that is so freezing; just one inhalation will freeze even the soul, meaning certain death." Ye Tianchen said from inside the giant creature’s stomach.

"Since you know, you might as well obediently wait for death, to become the power that heals my internal injuries. Otherwise, don’t make me use other Slaughter Skills, which will make you wish you were dead." The huge creature said disdainfully.

Bang!

"You..."

With a loud bang, the giant creature felt like it was about to vomit. Its face showed great shock. It probably never thought that after swallowing Ye Tianchen into its stomach, more than half an hour had passed, and he was still alive. Moreover, inside its stomach, there were two absolutely deadly auras. Even a strong person in the Martial Saint Realm couldn’t resist. This young man, after being swallowed into its stomach, even if he was stronger, couldn’t possibly still be alive.

But, the giant monster couldn’t help but believe it; it clearly felt a punch in its stomach, and the force of this punch was very strong; it had a feeling as though its stomach was about to explode. If its physique weren’t incredibly tough, unrivaled in the world, this punch might have broken its belly. The giant creature was shocked, wondering who on earth this kid that it just swallowed down was. Even if he was a son of heaven, at most he had the cultivation of the Martial Saint Realm. Back in Ancient Times, it wasn’t unheard of to swallow people from the Martial Saint Realm. It was because of its absolute confidence in its body that it dared to do so. Otherwise, if the people swallowed into its stomach didn’t die and unleashed some Martial Arts Divine Skills inside, attacking it to death—wouldn’t it be doomed?

"Ugly monster, how did that punch feel earlier? Want a few more?" Ye Tianchen’s voice came out.

"You... little bastard, I didn’t expect you to survive inside my stomach. Watch as I annihilate you completely!" The giant monster said fiercely.

"Why don’t you first take some more of my punches..."

Ye Tianchen punched again, relentlessly punching. On the body of the giant creature, bulging and uneven shapes appeared intermittently, rising and falling. This was caused by the force of Ye Tianchen’s punches hitting the creature. He was inside it, not dead yet, still possessing the strength to attack.

At this time, inside the belly of the giant creature, Ye Tianchen had the "Holy Sky Prison" suspended above his head. Strands of chaos energy descended, enveloping him entirely. At this moment, Ye Tianchen didn’t even use the "Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill" but directly summoned the "Holy Sky Prison." This demonstrated that being inside this monster was extremely dangerous, with two types of annihilating forces present. A slight touch of either force would lead to a soul-crushing demise. Ye Tianchen was initially terrified when sucked into the monster’s belly, nearly dying. Fortunately, he summoned the "Holy Sky Prison" in time, using its indestructible chaos energy to protect himself, barely escaping disaster. Otherwise, even with his Martial Saint Realm cultivation, he might have been annihilated inside this monster.

"What exactly is this monster? Trapped in this Cold Pond, incredibly powerful, with two internal forces of slaughter that are frightening. Without the protection of chaos energy, I could have died here today. Moreover, the monster’s flesh is incredibly resilient! Even with the Overlord Fist at its Great Achievement Realm, I cannot break its flesh. I have already reached the Martial Saint Realm, a strength beyond what I had before. The force of the Overlord Fist shakes the heavens and earth!" For the first time, Ye Tianchen felt such fear, and he couldn’t help but think in his heart.

Poof!

The enormous creature opened its mouth, suddenly spewing out a stream of red gas. As this red gas surged out, even the water within the Cold Pond vanished. This power was terrifying, and the creature’s next action was even more shocking. It opened its mouth again, sucking the red gas back into its mouth, swallowing it down to its stomach, intending to kill Ye Tianchen alive by using the absolute toxicity of the red gas to kill him inside its belly.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

It was like acid being poured on a person, creating a chilling sound. Ye Tianchen, inside the giant creature’s belly, suddenly saw a wave of red gas approaching, astonishing him greatly. How could he dare to touch it lightly? He hurriedly applied the Qi Manipulation Flying Skill to dodge. Unexpectedly, the red gas encircled Ye Tianchen as if hunting, and despite being protected by falling chaos energy from the "Holy Sky Prison," he could still feel the annihilating power.

"No, if this keeps up, I really might die here. What on earth is this monster? Such strength... Could it really have survived from ancient times? That’s far too long, longer than the life of a Supreme Emperor. This thing is terrifying and chilling. I must break through to fully unleash my power and fight!"

Ye Tianchen thought, and at the same time, the Taie Sword appeared in his right hand. The Taie Sword was a Power Sword. It was the first time Ye Tianchen wielded the Ancient Divine Sword as a Martial Saint. When Ye Tianchen gripped the Taie Sword, he suddenly felt a mysterious and inexplicable power, something he had never felt before while wielding the Taie Sword. This power was immense, so powerful it seemed to dominate the heavens and the earth. But in such a state and environment, Ye Tianchen had no time to ponder; he immediately swung the Taie Sword, unleashing a blast of Sword Qi.

Swish!

The Sword Qi extended across, cutting through the air unstoppably, shattering everything. Even the red gas surrounding Ye Tianchen was forcefully sliced apart by him. Ye Tianchen was shocked, realizing this immense power wasn’t from his own action but seemed to be contained within the Taie Sword itself. Master Fang Zheng once told him that each of the ancient ten divine swords held its own mysterious and unpredictable power. If you could refrain from using it, do so, fearing it might reach an uncontrollable level.

Boom!

With a loud explosion, a massive water pillar shot out from the Cold Pond, mixed with a trace of red gas and fresh blood. After Ye Tianchen wielded the Taie Sword, even he didn’t expect the power of the Sword Qi to be so formidable, penetrating the monster’s flesh in one shot. Ye Tianchen transformed into a golden light, rushing out, escaping the Cold Pond.

Ye Tianchen stood with the Taie Sword, the "Holy Sky Prison" suspended above his head, protected by chaos energy. Even after breaking out of the monster and the Cold Pond, he remained vigilant, standing above the Cold Pond, controlling his Qi while staring coldly at the shadow rising from below. That shadow was the giant monster.

Roar!

The giant monster, just surfacing, let out a tremendous roar that shook the heavens and the earth. Ye Tianchen hurriedly steadied himself, his eyes filled with shock. It was the first time he saw the true form of this massive monster, indescribably grotesque, like a dragon, a lizard, a crocodile—truly a combination of various hideous creatures. It had sturdy limbs, a gigantic head with two long horns, one broken as if severed by a Sword Qi. Ye Tianchen frowned, wondering what kind of creature this was and who possessed the power to seal such a monster, forcing it to cultivate under the Cold Pond for millions of years...
