Legend of the Asura Emperor

"It's safer to put it on yourselves than on the weak, right?" Jun Han added the next sentence for Han Shuang after hearing her words.

“That’s true. Rather than handing over one’s inner core to a weakling, it’s better to keep it with you. So you don’t need to worry. Although the inner core is no longer on me, as long as you live, I can continue to use its power. And when facing this Nine-Ringed Vermilion Belly, I don’t need to worry about the inner core being destroyed.”

As she said this, Han Shuang's eyes turned to the Nine-Ringed Vermilion Belly, which had opened its mouth and was charging towards Jun Han and Han Shuang.

It was obvious that the Nine-Ringed Crimson Belly wanted to swallow Frost and Jun Han whole. Seeing the Nine-Ringed Crimson Belly rushing towards him, Jun Han said, "Remember what I just said. Only by cooperating with me can we kill it completely!"

……

"So this is the inside of the Nine-Ringed Crimson Belly? It really is full of poison." Surrounded by a layer of snow-white light, Jun Han followed the shattered tree roots into the Nine-Ringed Crimson Belly. As soon as the roots slid down his throat, a faint snow-white light rose from his body, completely isolating him from the surrounding dark poisonous gas. Jun Han clearly saw that the tree roots he had swallowed earlier instantly vanished upon contact with the poisonous gas. Such intense poison was beyond the tolerance of ordinary people—no, even extraordinary people couldn't withstand it.

The snow-white radiance seemed to possess a strange pulling force, slowing Jun Han's descent into the Nine-Ringed Crimson Abdomen. The surrounding flesh walls trembled and twisted continuously, likely caused by the fierce battle between Frost and the Nine-Ringed Crimson Abdomen. Realizing this, Jun Han wasted no more time and immediately activated his Samsara Vision.

Before him lay a patch of blue, primordial flesh and blood, formed from the poisonous mist that permeated the Nine-Ringed Crimson's abdomen. The layers of this mist were as viscous as mud, demonstrating the sheer potency of the venom within the Nine-Ringed Crimson's abdomen. Now Jun Han understood why Han Shuang had been so surprised when he mentioned infiltrating the Nine-Ringed Crimson's abdomen. Indeed, if he had entered this place unprepared, Jun Han would likely have been reduced to a pus-filled mass at his throat, let alone reaching this point.

'Thump thump... thump thump...'

Finally, the journey through the pitch-black esophagus came to an end, landing on a mass of crimson flesh. Jun Han discovered that the space inside was quite large, and even more strangely, there was light. The surrounding flesh walls, for some unknown reason, emitted a faint glow. After careful thought, Jun Han realized that a powerful force constantly flowed within the Nine-Ringed Crimson Belly, and this accumulated vital energy was enough to make the flesh walls glow.

After advancing along the slippery, fleshy walls for a while, Jun Han discovered a massive pool of poison ahead. Yes, it was an enormous pool filled with a black liquid, formed by walls of flesh. Within this pool lay the skeletons of many demonic beasts, most of which were completely blackened. Besides the beast skeletons, Jun Han also discovered the skeleton of a human hand. The reason Jun Han could identify it so quickly was simple: the blackened right hand of this skeleton was resting against the fleshy wall, seemingly trying to struggle to climb out. And on the skeleton's finger, a golden storage ring was clearly visible.

He quickly stepped forward and removed the storage ring. Jun Han then discovered that the black right hand bone had turned to powder. The skeleton had been soaking there for an unknown amount of time, and was already in a state where it would dissolve at the slightest touch. Taking the storage ring, Jun Han began to carefully examine the golden ring in his hand.

The storage ring was carved with layers of patterns, which vaguely resembled a coiled dragon. The carving was extremely exquisite, clearly indicating it was no ordinary item. Especially striking was the tiny, crimson crystal, the size of a grain of rice, embedded within the dragon carving. Jun Han sensed an indescribable, powerful force emanating from it. Just as Jun Han was about to investigate, a tremor interrupted his plan. This tremor instantly reminded him of his purpose for entering, and he cursed himself for his greed. Jun Han quickly put the storage ring on and began to use his Samsara Eyes to locate the nine meridians on the Nine-Ringed Vermilion Belly.

'Salad, salad...'

Just as Jun Han was searching intently for the location of the Nine Rings Meridian, a series of chilling sounds came from all directions. As the sounds grew louder and more complex, Jun Han saw that clumps of flesh the size of infants began to emerge from the surrounding walls. Then, these clumps suddenly burst open, revealing dark pits from which crawled numerous brightly colored snakes. These venomous snakes immediately fixed their gaze on Jun Han, their chilling killing intent identical to that of the Nine Rings Vermilion Belly.

"It seems the truth has been revealed. The old beast has given birth to a little beast inside his belly to deal with me. But unfortunately, I may still have a headache with that old beast. You little beasts want to kill me? You're just dreaming."

After speaking, Jun Han placed his hand on the hilt of the Frostbite Sword, and a strong killing intent emanated from his body.

“Come on, I’ll chop you little beasts off one by one and throw you into that poisonous pool in the back. I’ll let that old beast digest all of you little beasts.”

Hiss... It's unclear whether they truly understood Jun Han's words or if Jun Han's arrogant posture angered the snakes, but a series of chilling hissing sounds rang out. The next moment, a large number of venomous snakes surged towards Jun Han. Facing these venomous snakes, Jun Han's expression darkened, and he held the Ling Shuang sword horizontally in front of him.

Although the Frost Sword is sealed and cannot be drawn, its power is still several times stronger than that of ordinary Xuan weapons.
