Legend of the Asura Emperor

……

Ice crystals rained down, and stepping over fallen tree roots, Frost moved with lightning speed. Even so, Frost had several wounds on her body. Although these wounds were not deep, they made her look somewhat disheveled, and her snow-white fur was stained red with blood in several places.

Meanwhile, Nine-Ringed Crimson Belly, facing Frost, remained remarkably energetic. Although several parts of its body were encased in thick ice, it hadn't fundamentally damaged Nine-Ringed Crimson Belly. Most importantly, its regenerative abilities were simply too powerful. As the battle progressed, its recovery was nothing short of terrifying. Often, a wound left on its body would be rapidly healed the next moment, becoming almost invisible to the naked eye.

"Frostbite, you're risking your life like this, you don't really expect that human brat inside me to do anything, do you?" Nine-Ringed Crimson Belly stared intently at Frostbite with enormous, blood-red eyes the size of bronze bells, speaking to Frostbite through mental vibration. This was the first time Nine-Ringed Crimson Belly had communicated with Frostbite using mental means.

"You knew all along, so why didn't you stop him and let him enter your body?" Han Shuang was also a little surprised that Jiu Huan Zhu Fu had spoken to her. She looked at Jiu Huan Zhu Fu coldly and said angrily.

“Obstruction? Why obstruction? If you were still the same as before, you might still have a chance to defeat me. But now that you've separated, do you think that brat could survive inside my stomach? My stomach is a den of ten thousand snakes. Even if he could get through the poisonous gas, he wouldn't be able to defeat the ten thousand venomous snakes inside. Do you think I need to obstruct him?”

As if he had heard something amusing, the Nine-Ringed Vermilion Belly's tone was full of mockery, "You know, in human terms, this is called courting death, you see? He wants to go inside my belly to die, do you think I'd stop him? Hahaha..."

"Going to your death? I'm afraid you'll be too careless and end up losing your life instead. Hmph, it's laughable that you're so confident. You probably don't even know that you already have the look of death on your face. If it weren't for that, do you think I would team up with a human to fight you? It's all because you already have the look of death on your face."

"Roar, Frost, don't think you can really see through everything. Do you really think that just because you're called the Beast of Fate, you can see through life and death? Let me tell you, I don't believe it. You're the one who should die."

If it's true that some people, after cultivating themselves, can glimpse the secrets of heaven and see through the fates of others, then it's not surprising that some demonic beasts are born with such abilities. After all, the way of heaven is fair; it didn't grant humans powerful bodies, but it did give them the ability to refine pills and forge weapons. And since humans can cultivate techniques to see into the heavens, it's not strange that demonic beasts are born with such abilities.

Among these, the Frost Clan is recognized by all demonic and spirit beasts as possessing such abilities. Of course, only an extremely small number of Frost Clan members truly possess this power; the majority do not. However, this very small group has made the entire Frost Clan famous and renowned, earning them the title of "Beasts of Destiny." While many demonic and spirit beasts may know this, very few humans do.

Therefore, after hearing what Han Shuang said to him, even though he didn't believe that Han Shuang possessed the power to see through fate, Jiu Huan Zhu Fu was still greatly alarmed. After all, Han Shuang was a member of a famous clan specializing in fate reading, and it would be too much of a challenge for Jiu Huan Zhu Fu to simply ignore her.

"Hmph... Haha... Right, you're only saying this to confuse me, haha... It's useless. After you and that human separated, you can't possibly defeat me no matter what. Hmph, it's said that the Frost Clan is quite adept at self-preservation. Are you so crazy that you're determined to fight me to the death because of that little thing I ate that smelled like you?"

Upon hearing Jiu Huan Zhu Fu's words, Han Shuang's face immediately turned extremely ugly. A surge of intense anger erupted like a volcanic eruption. Han Shuang's powerful emotional fluctuations could not escape Jiu Huan Zhu Fu's notice. Sensing Han Shuang's intense anger, Jiu Huan Zhu Fu burst into laughter.

"So that's really how it is. The infamously cold-blooded Frost Clan would actually get so angry over a bastard who isn't even a Frost Clan member and who just appeared out of nowhere. It's utterly ridiculous, hahaha..."

"Is it funny? Then keep that smile and obediently let me tear you apart!" A mad roar echoed, and the next moment, Frost's body transformed into a streak of white light, charging towards Nine Rings Crimson Abdomen. Seeing Frost's mad charge, Nine Rings Crimson Abdomen was about to defend itself when a sudden pain shot through its abdomen. The next instant, a figure burst forth from Nine Rings Crimson Abdomen's abdomen, and along with it, Nine Rings Crimson Abdomen felt its body go limp; its previously continuous breath was abruptly severed…

……

Despite being suddenly swallowed whole, Jun Han remained calm. The fall wasn't deep; after landing only a few dozen feet, Jun Han was back on solid ground.

Looking around, he saw rows of interconnected fleshy pillars that linked the upper and lower fleshy walls. These pillars were covered with bluish-green blood vessels, creating a truly horrifying scene. From this place alone, Jun Han couldn't determine exactly where he was in the Nine-Ringed Vermilion Abdomen. The intense pressure made him extremely uncomfortable.

"These things are in the way."

With a thought, the dragon scales at Jun Han's waist flashed with intense light, severing the pillar-like strips of flesh connecting the upper and lower walls. With each severed strip, copious amounts of blood gushed out. As Jun Han cut through more and more, he felt the flesh beneath his feet begin to loosen. These fleshy pillars seemed to be the passageways connecting the two walls, and now that Jun Han had severed them all, this section of flesh began to tremble.

As the copious amounts of blood slid down, Jun Han felt as if he were standing on a rushing waterfall, except that instead of clear mountain spring water, the flowing water was foul-smelling blood, and below him were not rocks, but utterly disgusting flesh and blood.

He didn't know how long he slid down that sloping fleshy wall, but with nowhere to grab onto, Jun Han was powerless. Finally, he stopped sliding, and when he stood up, he found himself on an uneven, fleshy wall.

The blood-red flesh wall revealed clear textures, with huge blue blood vessels draped across it. More importantly, Jun Han could clearly feel powerful, rhythmic pulsations emanating from the flesh wall beneath his feet.

"This is the location of the heart in the Nine Rings of the Vermilion Belly."

In an instant, Jun Han immediately determined his location. He was right; he was standing on the heart of the Nine-Ringed Vermilion Abdomen. However, that wasn't entirely accurate. The place he was standing on wasn't actually the heart itself, but rather a layer of flesh above it. The true heart was located beneath this layer.
