Journey to the Mysterious Sea

The body of the Emperor of Chu seemed to be controlled by an invisible force, and he could not help but slowly fall towards the swamp that seemed like a bottomless abyss. His eyes were full of fear and despair, which was a deep fear of an unknown fate, as if the whole world was collapsing at this moment. The surface of this swamp seemed as calm as a mirror, and the sunlight shone on it, even reflecting some charming luster. However, under it, countless bodies of practitioners were floating quietly. Those bodies were densely packed, layered, and intertwined with each other, which made people shudder. Some bodies were already incomplete, and black blood was still flowing from the broken limbs, slowly spreading in the swamp; some bodies had distorted faces, as if they had experienced extreme pain before death, and their frozen expressions revealed endless fear. This shocking scene was like a living purgatory on earth, exuding a creepy breath of death, as if it could freeze people's souls.

At this point, the Emperor of Chu finally woke up from his dream. He finally realized that this seemingly peaceful swamp was so dangerous and terrifying, and it had ruthlessly devoured countless innocent lives. The Emperor of Chu tried his best to break free from this terrifying abyss. His limbs struggled hard, his muscles were as tight as steel, and his veins bulged, like winding green snakes. His fingers were deeply inserted into the muddy swamp, trying to grab something to use as leverage, but he could not grab anything except the cold muddy water and the smell of decay. His body seemed to be tightly bound by a mysterious and powerful invisible force, which was like countless invisible hands, holding him tightly and making him unable to move at all. Even though he tried his best, he still could not break free at all, and could not exert any strength at all.

At this moment, his body was like food thrown into a boiling oil pan, suffering from indescribable extreme pain. The pain came like a tide, wave after wave, constantly impacting his nerves. His skin seemed to be burned by flames, and every inch of it felt like piercing pain. The pain was like millions of ants gnawing at his body, making him almost faint. As time slowly passed, his vitality gradually disappeared in this endless torment, and his breath became weak, as if he would become another handful of fuel in the swamp in the next moment, being completely swallowed up and disappearing from this world.

The heart of the Emperor of Chu was filled with resentment, and that resentment burned his heart like a raging fire. He clenched his teeth, and his teeth clattered, so that blood oozed from his gums. The blood flowed down the corners of his mouth, dripping into the swamp, and was instantly swallowed by the muddy water. His body suddenly lit up with bright and dazzling lightning, and the light was like a sword, trying to use this power to resist this death. The lightning flashed and jumped around his body, as if it was his last hope, his last struggle. Lightning intertwined in the air, making crackling sounds, illuminating his face full of despair and anger.

At this critical moment, in the swamp, a black shadow rushed towards him at an astonishing speed, like a lightning that cuts through the night sky. The speed was so fast that it was hard to catch, leaving only a blurry afterimage in the air. The afterimage was like a black lightning, instantly passing through the sky above the swamp, bringing up a gust of wind, blowing the surrounding mud and water everywhere.

The Emperor of Chu suppressed his fear and tried to focus his eyes. When he looked closely, he felt his scalp tingling. It was a huge red python. The python's body was as huge as a hill, winding and daunting. Its scales flashed with strange light, which was sometimes bright red like blood and sometimes dark like ink, as if the flames from hell were burning. Each scale was like a shield, extremely hard and exuding a cold breath.

The python opened its bloody mouth that could swallow the sky and the earth. Its mouth was full of sharp teeth, like a sharp dagger. Those teeth flashed with cold light, and the sharp edges seemed to be able to easily tear anything apart. What was even more terrifying was that its tongue was actually three equally huge pythons. The three pythons suddenly spurted out a strong and extremely poisonous gas. The poisonous gas was like a black cloud, and instantly, like a huge net, it tightly enveloped the Emperor of Chu. The poisonous gas spread, with a pungent stench that made people want to vomit.

The Emperor of Chu was tightly wrapped by the thick poisonous gas, and it became extremely difficult to breathe. The poisonous gas was like a pair of invisible big hands, tightly strangling his throat, making it almost impossible for him to breathe. He felt as if his lungs were pressed down by a heavy stone, and he had to use all his strength to breathe. His face turned purple, and his eyes were full of pain, but he did not choose to give up resistance. His eyes flashed with a firm light. He used all his skills and tried his best to mobilize the power of thunder and lightning in his body. The power of thunder and lightning gathered in his hands to form a shining sphere. Thunder and lightning intertwined in the sphere, making crackling sounds, as if it contained endless power. He pushed the sphere towards the poisonous gas with force, trying to tear apart the deadly poisonous gas.

Finally, with his unremitting efforts, the poison gas was torn open by the power of thunder and lightning. He let out a deafening roar, which was full of his anger and indomitable spirit. His voice echoed over the swamp, as if he was fighting against fate. He rushed towards the red python regardless of everything. His figure was like a flash of lightning, cutting through the dark space. He was surrounded by thunder and lightning, and radiant with light, as if he was a thunder god descending to the world.

However, the strength of the red python was far beyond the imagination of the Chu Emperor. It just sucked gently and swallowed the Chu Emperor effortlessly into its stomach. At that moment, the Chu Emperor felt that his eyes went dark and he fell into darkness. Everything around him became blurred, and only the endless darkness and fear enveloped him.

After entering the belly of the scarlet python, the Emperor of Chu knew that he was in a desperate situation, but he did not choose to sit and wait for death. He clearly understood that this was his last chance of survival, and he had to fight with all his strength. He stared at the highly corrosive stomach acid that kept pouring out around him. The stomach acid was like streams of boiling magma, constantly eroding his body. When his skin came into contact with the stomach acid, it made a sizzling sound and bursts of white smoke. He felt an unprecedented huge crisis in his heart, but there was no intention of retreating in his eyes, but instead he was full of determination and resoluteness.

He gathered all the strength in his body without reservation, and the strength surged in his body like a raging torrent. His body trembled slightly, which was the reaction brought by the gathering of strength. He shouted loudly with all his strength: "Nine Heavens Thunder Controlling True Art!" In an instant, an extremely strong lightning light burst out around Emperor Chu's body. The light was dazzling, like a scorching sun, illuminating the originally dark space. The lightning light collided with the stomach acid, making a crackling sound, as if it was a fierce battle. The lightning shuttled through the stomach acid, splashing countless sparks, illuminating the resolute face of Emperor Chu.
