The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Because they witnessed Jiang Chuan's courage and determination, his fearlessness in the face of a powerful enemy.

The battle between Jiang Chuan and Taotie continues.

The Taotie, covered in wounds, stared at Jiang Chuan with its green-glowing eyes. Energy surged from its body like a tide, and its massive body lunged at Jiang Chuan.

When the Taotie's giant mouth closed.

Jiang Chuan disappeared from public view.

We entered a dark place, and the whole world seemed to quiet down.

"What? That young man was eaten? We're doomed!" Someone had clearly seen the Taotie's attack sequence.

After swallowing Jiang Chuan, the Taotie went into a dozing state and lay motionless on the ground. The staff did not dare to enter the scene to check the situation for a while.

Upon witnessing this scene, Li Yi covered her mouth with her slender hand, unable to utter a sound due to shock. She looked at the spirit scroll sitting beside her, her eyes indicating whether it was true that Jiang Chuan had been eaten by the Taotie.

As the murmurs from the audience grew louder, Li Yi confirmed that her eyes were not deceiving her; Jiang Chuan had indeed been eaten by the Taotie.

Li Yi's eyes were filled with terror. She couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes. She looked at the spirit scroll, hoping it could provide an explanation.

The scroll trembled slightly, as if sensing Li Yi's inner thoughts.

Suddenly, it floated up. "Although Jiang Chuan was swallowed by the Taotie, his life has not ended. If my perception is not wrong, then don't worry too much. Just wait patiently."

Upon hearing Ling Juan's words, a glimmer of hope welled up in Li Yi's heart. She clung tightly to this information, waiting for a miracle to occur.

Jiang Chuan was in a dark world. He could only feel the cold darkness. It was quiet all around him. There was no sound. Jiang Chuan tried to find light, but it was pitch black all around and there was no hope.

He began to grope around, hoping to find some clues, or at least something to rely on, but his hands only touched a cold, boundless expanse.

This feeling gave Jiang Chuan the illusion that he had been abandoned by the world.

Are we destined to be trapped in this dark world forever?
He felt tears welling up in his eyes, but he couldn't see anything clearly, only some faint specks of light.

Suddenly, Taotie's voice rang out in the darkness: "Young man, do you know you're playing with fire? In the space created by my terrifying eyes, slowly feel the passage of life."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan looked at the points of light and discovered that they were actually countless living eyes.

Jiang Chuan's heart skipped a beat. He instantly understood everything before him. These eyes were the space created by the terrifying eyes of the Taotie. Each eye represented a life, and now, these lives were watching him, waiting for his life to pass away.

"I'm not dead yet, I want to live," Jiang Chuan's heart was telling him.

But it also ignited his will to survive.

Jiang Chuan began to concentrate, trying to find the pattern of this space and a way out. He knew that this space was constructed, so there must be a way to break through it.

Jiang Chuan's body was under the gaze of these eyes.

I can feel some element in my body constantly being lost.

Vitamins? Fat?

There are many more things he doesn't know.

But one thing is for sure.

If the body loses the maintenance of these elements.

The body will become paralyzed.

Even if he had the ability to break through the space created by the Taotie, he would be powerless to get out.

Jiang Chuan's thoughts raced, realizing he had to find a solution as soon as possible.

He channeled the power of lightning within his body, locking the elements within him. However, these eyes ignored his protection and relentlessly absorbed the elements from his body, causing him to gradually become emaciated.

He gritted his teeth, enduring the growing weakness in his body.

Jiang Chuan knew he couldn't just give up like this; he had to find a way to stop this absorption, otherwise he would be too passive.

draw?

Jiang Chuan seemed to be deep in thought, because he also had an absorption skill, Endless Fluctuation.

What would happen if we used the endless fluctuations to absorb the life force of these eyes?

Jiang Chuan decided to give it a try and dispel his doubts.

He slowly raised his palm, and countless white threads surged from his palm, flowing in all directions. Each thread stopped only when it touched his pupils. Jiang Chuan saw that the time was right and prepared to exert his strength. His originally withered muscles gradually bulged as he exerted his strength.

"What?" Taotie, who was watching the show from the shadows, couldn't help but exclaim.

A resolute glint flashed in Jiang Chuan's eyes.

This is a crucial moment.

Success or failure depends on this.

His palms began to shake rapidly, each shake carrying a strong suction force that tightly adhered the white threads to his pupils. His pupils began to emit a faint light, a light that seemed to resist Jiang Chuan's absorption.

Jiang Chuan's forehead began to bead with sweat. He gritted his teeth and continued to increase his intensity. Suddenly, he felt a powerful backlash that almost caused his body to collapse instantly. But he did not give up. He knew that this was the opportunity for success.

"On my home turf, you dare to turn the tables?" After Taotie finished speaking, the eyes that were floating in the air gathered together to form a five-pointed star-like structure. In the center of the five-pointed star was a red eye that stared intently at Jiang Chuan's every move.

Jiang Chuan's white silk threads shattered and vanished under the gaze of his five-pointed star eyes. His body suffered a backlash from the destruction of his attack, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Instead of falling to the ground due to gravity, the blood rushed straight towards the five-pointed star's pupil, carrying with it a terrifying aura of thunder.

Seeing this, the five-pointed star eyes were not to be outdone. Under the infusion of Taotie's magic power, the magic power in its body rose up, and a beautiful five-pointed star pattern appeared in front of it.

The two forces clashed in the void, neither gaining the upper hand.

The thunderous blood mist condensed by Jiang Chuan and the magic released by the five-pointed star pupils intertwined and collided violently, sparking intense flames. These sparks were like a collision between two parallel worlds, and even space itself was shaken and fluctuated.

Taotie stood proudly to the side.

His eyes gleamed with smugness.

It seemed to have foreseen the arrival of victory.

Jiang Chuan, however, gradually found himself struggling in this clash of forces.

However, just when everyone thought Jiang Chuan was about to be defeated, Jiang Chuan's eyes suddenly became firm.

His body emanated an even stronger aura.

This aura made Taotie feel uneasy, and it began to fully activate the power of its five-pointed star eyes, trying to suppress Jiang Chuan.

At this moment, Jiang Chuan unleashed his trump card. His body suddenly transformed into a beam of light, passing directly through the attack of the five-pointed star's pupils and arriving in front of Taotie.

"Is it fun hiding here?" Jiang Chuan's voice rang in Taotie's ears, and a star that shone with dazzling light appeared in his hand.

The Taotie stared at Jiang Chuan in shock, unable to believe that Jiang Chuan had discovered its hiding place. At that moment, it finally understood that Jiang Chuan was not as weak as it had thought.

Just as Jiang Chuan was about to succeed in his attack, his body was locked onto by an eye from some dark corner. He began to break free, but found that eyes appeared continuously from all directions, and his body was firmly locked onto by these eyes.

Taotie took out a straw and walked towards Jiang Chuan, whose body was suspended in mid-air.

"What do you want to do?" Jiang Chuan asked.

Taotie pouted, feigning innocence, and said, "What bad intentions could a divine beast like me have?"

As soon as Taotie finished speaking, a powerful suction force suddenly shot out from the straw in its hand, tightly sucking Jiang Chuan's body. Jiang Chuan felt a sharp pain as his body began to be slowly sucked in by the straw, as if Taotie had regarded him as some kind of delicious food.

"Are you treating me like a milk tea? You're sucking on me randomly, and you even pee on me!" Jiang Chuan shook his bound body, expressing his incomprehension.

Jiang Chuan's voice echoed in the empty space.

But Taotie just chuckled.

That smile looked particularly eerie in the darkness.

It brought the straw close to Jiang Chuan's mouth, as if trying to suck away his life force like he was drinking milk tea.

"Can you stop being so disgusting?" Jiang Chuan struggled even more violently, but those mysterious eyes seemed to have their own consciousness, locking onto him firmly, making him unable to move an inch.

"Stop struggling."

"Do you know how satisfying it is to absorb the power of a cultivator at the late Earth Rank?"

As Taotie spoke, its body trembled from the intense fighting.

Jiang Chuan's heart sank to the bottom.

He could only hope that Taotie wouldn't be too greedy and would spare his life.

"Taotie, aren't you afraid of divine retribution for doing this?" Jiang Chuan tried his best to make his voice sound calm, attempting to persuade him with reason.

However, Taotie burst into laughter as if it had heard a joke.

"God's punishment?"

"What is that? Is it edible?"

It looked at Jiang Chuan with a mocking gaze, as if looking at an ignorant child.

Jiang Chuan's heart sank. He activated the Endless Wave skill again, preparing for a desperate fight. The Endless Suction Force firmly locked onto the straw that Taotie had put into his mouth, preparing to reclaim the lost energy.

As the skill was activated, Taotie felt a tingling sensation throughout its entire body.

However, at that moment, Jiang Chuan's expression suddenly changed drastically.

He discovered that although the Endless Wave skill was successfully activated, it did not cause any damage to Taotie; on the contrary, it seemed to make Taotie even stronger.

A ferocious light flashed in the eyes of the Taotie as it looked at Jiang Chuan with a mocking smile, a cruel smirk playing on its lips.

"You want to use the same skill to hurt me a second time?"

"You're being far too naive."

Jiang Chuan realized he had made a fatal mistake.

He shouldn't have tried to attack Taotie again with the same skill, because he underestimated Taotie's ability to predict.

The Taotie's power was not weakened by Jiang Chuan's skills; on the contrary, it became even stronger. Its body exuded a terrifying aura, making Jiang Chuan feel suffocated.

They lost the ability to turn the tide.

As Jiang Chuan lost his internal energy, he gradually fell into a deep sleep.

But he gritted his teeth and forced himself not to sleep, because once he fell asleep, it would be no different from death. However, his eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand pounds and he couldn't lift them at all. He wanted to lift them, but he just couldn't.

He tried to stay awake, because in this dangerous environment, only wakefulness could bring hope for survival. However, fatigue and drowsiness washed over him like a tide, making him feel that life was slowly slipping away.

He thought of his family's expectations of him.

I was reminded that I still have many unfinished responsibilities.

These thoughts gave him a little strength, but his eyelids remained heavy.

He couldn't just give up like this, he couldn't just leave this world like this.

He used all his strength, gritted his teeth, and forced himself to persevere. He told himself that as long as he persevered, he might see the sun rise tomorrow and see the person he loved again.

And so he struggled with drowsiness, sometimes closing his eyes and sometimes suddenly opening them. Each time he opened his eyes, he felt a sharp pain, as if his brain was being churned by a meat grinder.

Is Jiang Chuan's body really going to be dissected bit by bit by Taotie using a straw?
He began to recall his life, from childhood to adulthood, every detail vivid in his mind. He remembered the mistakes he had made and the good deeds he had done. He realized that everyone has their own mission and value, and his life was no exception.

Although Jiang Chuan lost his sight, his senses remained. With his Heavenly Rank soul perception, he discovered a small vortex next to his dantian.

This small whirlpool caught Jiang Chuan's attention.

He could sense a powerful energy within it. A thought struck him, and he tried to establish a connection with the small vortex, but he found that no matter how hard he tried, he could not communicate with it.

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but feel somewhat frustrated; the severe physical injury had greatly diminished his communication abilities.

However, he did not give up. Instead, he began to try to adjust his soul state and establish a connection with the small vortex.

After a period of effort, Jiang Chuan finally felt a wisp of energy flowing out of the vortex and into his body. He could feel this energy flowing through his body, gradually repairing his body.

What's going on? Is there really such a good thing?

Jiang Chuan didn't understand.

However, these repairs are still far from enough to restore him to full health in the face of the relentless absorption by the gluttonous beasts from the outside world.

Jiang Chuan said to the little guy, "Did you not eat? Why do you seem so weak?"

The small vortex seemed to respond to Jiang Chuan's words.

The energy within the vortex began to intensify, and its flow accelerated.

Jiang Chuan could feel his body gradually recovering and his injuries healing little by little.

Then he remembered something: the Endless Wave skill was activated from this small vortex.

What made him suspicious was that the Endless Wave skill had disappeared when the last activation failed.
How can there still be residual energy?

In Jiang Chuan's understanding, only a skill transformation could explain all of this, meaning that Jiang Chuan's Endless Fluctuations had begun to evolve.

After figuring out the reason, Jiang Chuan was overjoyed, knowing that his life was not meant to end. As long as he helped the Endless Waves skill complete its upgrade, Jiang Chuan was confident that he could use it to turn the tide. (End of Chapter)
