After entering the mouth of the giant beast, Chen Hao's eyes immediately emitted two soft purple glows that illuminated the creature's oral cavity.

But before he could see clearly, he was suddenly sucked into a blood-red, blurry, giant cave, just like the surrounding ice and snow!

He had been swallowed by the beast and entered its digestive tract.

The size of this beast was so colossal that even its digestive tract was like a cylindrical tube with a radius of several meters.

"Chen Hao," at this moment, the excited voice of Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body resounded in Chen Hao's mind, "How did you also get inside here?"

"Chen Hao! Did you come to save me?" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body continued to ask.

At that time, Chen Hao was still plummeting at high speed along the beast's digestive tract.

When he finally came to a stop, he was in a space akin to a cave, surrounded by the remains and bones of other giant beasts. And there stood Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body, right in front of him.

He had just risen from the ground when Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body suddenly flung herself into his arms.

"Chen Hao, I'm sorry, I was too wilful earlier," Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body said, full of guilt, "You care about me, otherwise you wouldn't have come here to rescue me voluntarily. I'll never think again that you don't care about me."

Chen Hao smiled and said, "You, sometimes you're just too mischievous and headstrong."

"Wuwu, I know I was wrong, so stop scolding me, I'm about to cry."

"Are you that fragile?" Chen Hao asked in disbelief.

"I'm not, in front of others, but in front of you," Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body said, "Chen Hao, you really know how to make someone cry."

A bittersweet expression surfaced on Chen Hao's face.

After a pause, he looked up and surveyed his surroundings, then after a while, he said, "This should be the stomach and intestines of the beast. The moment you were swallowed, I lost all sense of you, so this place must be some sort of Seal Barrier."

"We slid down here, didn't we?" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body left Chen Hao's embrace and pointed to the beast's digestive tract.

"So if we just climb up this tube, we can get out, right?"

Chen Hao snorted with laughter.

"Jerk, what are you laughing at?"

"Laughing at how simple you think it is," Chen Hao explained, "Look at so many giant beast skeletons here; if it were as simple as you say, these creatures would've escaped long ago."

"Hmph, don't mock me!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body stretched out her hand, smacking Chen Hao's shoulder, "Then tell me, how do we get out? I don't like it here, not one bit, get us out of here quickly."

As she spoke, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body suddenly hopped onto Chen Hao's back, resting her head on his left shoulder, closing her eyes with a smile, "I'm counting on you, Chen Hao, I'll provide the moral support."

Chen Hao let out a helpless sigh.

Then, a black stream of Nether King's Power shot out from his left eye, directly colliding with the wall above their heads.

He noticed, the instant the Nether King's Power created a small hole in the wall, the breach was instantaneously repaired by self-healing.

"Did you see that?" Chen Hao said, "The moment any part of this beast sustain any damage, the Spiritual Power within its body instantly repairs the wound. That's why the giant beasts that were swallowed before found it so hard to escape from here."

"I didn't see it," Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body, with eyes still closed, shook her head, "I trust with your strength, it shouldn't be difficult to get out of here."

"Indeed, it's not difficult," Chen Hao nodded, "but this is just his stomach. Once we're out of his stomach, we'll come across his flesh, skin, and scales. To break through these layers all at once will be difficult."

"What do we do then?"

"Let me think."

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body suddenly bit Chen Hao's ear and said, "Think faster, I don't like staying here."

Chen Hao showed a helpless expression and sighed before saying, "There are two methods. The first is to find its heart and kill it; the second is to locate the source of its Spiritual Power, seal the Spiritual Power, or absorb it."

"You should absorb its Spiritual Power," Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body said, "Doing so will significantly enhance the Spiritual Power within you, and then you'll be able to comprehend other, more powerful Spells."

"What powerful Spells?"

"For example, using the Nether King's Power to solidify everything."

"I know a Yin Yang Art that can petrify people, and the effect is somewhat similar," Chen Hao said.

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body harshly bit Chen Hao's cheek, huffing, "I'm just giving an example. As for what Spells you'll master, that depends on your comprehension and talent. Anyway, don't get smug. Cultivating the Nether King's Power is just the beginning. Remember, my imperial great-grandfather's control over the Nether King's Heart far surpasses yours. When the time comes to take the other half of the Nether King's Heart from him, you'll inevitably have to battle him."

Hearing Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body's reminder, Chen Hao's heart trembled, thinking that he had almost forgotten that reaching the ancient city does not mean his wishes will be fulfilled; the Second Generation Nether King is the final and most significant obstacle.

Thus, he activated the Nether King's insight with his left eye and carried Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body forward.

..

..

The night was deep.

Inside the brilliantly lit ancient city, all was quiet.

In a room, Xie Xiaofeng paced restlessly, waiting for Ou Yuanlin's visit.

Since his surroundings were filled with spies, he worried about how Ou Yuanlin would sneak into his room.

Before long, suddenly, there came a noise from the bathroom.

Xie Xiaofeng hurriedly walked to the bathroom, only to see a vine crawling in through the skylight, followed by the figure of Ou Yuanlin appearing in front of him.

Seeing Ou Yuanlin, Xie Xiaofeng's expression was somewhat stunned.

"This side is the back of another frozen building," Ou Yuanlin told Xie Xiaofeng, "No one will notice if you come in from here."

Xie Xiaofeng nodded blankly and asked, "Did you find out about that old man?"

"I did," Ou Yuanlin nodded, "That old man is an elder of the Snow Mountain Tribe, and it's said he has always lived in the temple beneath that ice sculpture building."

"So he is the Snow Mountain Tribe's Clan Leader!" Xie Xiaofeng exclaimed. He remembered that not long ago, Chen Hao had mentioned that the Snow Mountain Tribe's Clan Leader had made a deal with the Ancestor of the Nether King to save himself, giving him half of the Nether King's Heart.

"What?" Ou Yuanlin asked in confusion, "Have you heard about the Snow Mountain Tribe's Clan Leader?"

Xie Xiaofeng nodded and suddenly had an idea, "Ou Yuanlin, I want to approach that Snow Mountain Tribe's Clan Leader gradually. I just need your help to lure the Emperor away."

"And what do you need me to do?"
