Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest

Chapter 793 The World in the Belly
Yan Yu's Yin-Yang Micro Dust Sword Formation shredded the front half of the giant flesh-and-blood serpent. Liu Longtao immediately followed, unleashing the Five Directions Divine Dragon Dao Technique with all his might in mid-air.

A black dragon soars through the clouds!

The black dragon, formed from water elemental essence, swiftly passed through layers of falling, shattered flesh and blood, and then suddenly expanded rapidly.

fry!
Each dragon scale bursts outward as the dragon's body expands, until it hits the giant snake's shredded flesh, drops of blood, the intact hindquarters, or even a building or the ground further away. Then, like raindrops splashing on a hard object, it bursts open into a small, blooming flower.

Ice flowers.

Even liquid nitrogen bombs don't have this kind of power; any object caught in the blast radius of the dragon scales will instantly have almost all of its heat absorbed.

At such extreme low temperatures, even the hardest objects become as brittle as porcelain. The bits of flesh and blood cut by the Yin-Yang Micro Dust Sword Array were rapidly frozen at the molecular level, then shattered into particles finer than dust, swirling and spreading in the falling airflow until they disappeared completely.

Yan Yu put away the Yin-Yang Micro Dust Sword Formation and secretly transmitted his voice to Liu Longtao:

"Your spell isn't fast enough. The black dragon has an expansion process before it explodes. If you encounter a master, you can just dodge it and it won't hit anyone."

"But I saw that you'd already chopped down the giant snake," Liu Longtao argued. "I was just finishing it off; there was no need to be so precise."

Yan Yu scanned the giant snake with his divine sense and found that the minced flesh and blood, which had been destroyed to the point of being dust, had finally stopped regenerating as frantically as before. If it could be reassembled and 3D printed into a body after being reduced to dust, then he would have nothing better to do than to use his flying sword to express his utter admiration.

"Haha, did you see that?" Now that the dust had settled on the battlefield, Liu Longtao finally became smug and boasted, "Flying swords cause destruction on a physical level, while Daoist techniques destroy on an energy level. I admit that your swordsmanship is indeed impressive, but there are some abnormal enemies that your pure swordsmanship simply can't handle. There's just no way to deal with them..."

Before he could swagger around for long, the two of them suddenly looked to the side.

There, a girl in a white dress, about seven or eight years old, had appeared. She still had a blank stare and a lifeless expression, and said:
"Again?"

The two: ………………

Yan Yu sighed inwardly, while Liu Longtao broke out in a cold sweat again.

The next second, a large number of undead souls also spawned, surrounding the two and shouting:

"One more time? One more time? One more time?"

The two simultaneously flew away on their swords, Yan Yufei leading the way and Liu Longtao close behind. Suddenly realizing what was happening, Liu Longtao transmitted his thoughts:

"We were careless. This giant flesh and blood serpent is not the real body at all, but just an avatar formed from the people that the serpent devoured. Killing it will not have a decisive effect."

“You can think of it like health points in a game,” Yan Yu said thoughtfully. “During the blood sacrifice ritual, it gains 1 health point for every person it devours; now, we lose 1 health point for every person we kill. If a giant serpent is composed of 10000 people, then killing the serpent would result in a loss of 10,000 health points, so we need to calculate the serpent's remaining health points…”

“We need to estimate how many people it has eaten so far.” Liu Longtao suddenly fell silent.

"Hmm," Yan Yu said, "At least forty or fifty million people died, right? Or even seventy or eighty million?"

“Even if millions of undead lined up to be killed by us, it’s unrealistic,” Liu Longtao said, frowning. “Or is there some kind of central control system that, after refining them, can simply use a thought to send all these undead souls to Buddhahood in batches?”

"I don't know," Yan Yu said. "We can only assume it exists for now."

"Then let's take our time searching." Liu Longtao made a hand seal and activated his magic. "Even if it takes ten days or half a month, do you think we'll be dragged down to death by them?"

The crimson dragon soared into the sky, then plummeted down like a meteor, obliterating countless souls and leaving no trace of their bodies.

Before long, a new giant serpent of flesh and blood rose from the ground again, chasing after the two of them.

While the undead lack formidable combat power, they can teleport to your side; the flesh and blood serpent is indeed stronger, but it lacks the most troublesome teleportation ability, allowing you to freely lead it around.

After discussing it telepathically for a moment, the two quickly decided that Liu Longtao would lure the giant flesh-and-blood snake away, while Yan Yu would find a place to lie in wait until the snake left before continuing to explore this strange world.

The giant snake was quickly pulled away. Yan Yu hid in a nearby house, repeatedly using his divine sense to probe the outside, lest he encounter any more wandering spirits if he went out.

"What are you doing?" Chen Lingyun's voice came from behind.

"When did you arrive?" Yan Yu was almost startled. Of course, since it was "almost," he wasn't actually startled.

“Just as you parted ways,” Chen Lingyun said with a smile, “I followed your trail here and was then pulled into this world.”

"How did you see us when you were in the outside world?" Yan Yu asked, puzzled.

"Well, based on my current speculation," Chen Lingyun said calmly, "there are two worlds: one is the real world of Earth, and the other is the world inside the giant serpent's belly." "The spaces of the two worlds overlap through the giant serpent's clones. Therefore, these clones appear both in the Earth world as strange, invisible things and in the belly world as writhing monsters."

"When you approach the flesh and blood serpent, you actually step into the area where two worlds overlap, which is why you are observed by the real world."

“Your conclusion seems to make some sense,” Yan Yu nodded and said. “My phone has no signal most of the time here, but the signal improves once I get close to the giant snake.”

“After all, there are no satellites in the world inside the belly that can serve as signal relay base stations,” Chen Lingyun said with a smile. “Only the Earth world can communicate.”

"You can still laugh?" Yan Yu scratched his head in annoyance. "As long as this giant flesh and blood serpent isn't within the territory of Lu Kingdom, no matter how much it rampages and destroys, it's none of our business. The problem is that we're trapped here and can't get out. Since you can analyze the mechanism here, have you figured out how we can return to the real world from here?"

“I’ve got it,” Chen Lingyun replied.

"Then hurry up and think of something...?" Yan Yu asked.

Sigh, I think I should actually show an incredulous expression here, but judging from the impression she gave me in my past life, no matter what extraordinary things this woman does, it won't surprise me.

"Do you know how I was dragged into this world inside my belly?" Chen Lingyun asked leisurely.

“Hmm, you must have been chasing my projection in the real world, and then you got dragged in,” Yan Yu quickly concluded. “Just like what I did to Master Jing.”

“Not quite accurate,” Chen Lingyun said with a smile. “I was chasing you when the invisible giant snake near you discovered me, swallowed me whole, and thus teleported me here—that’s why I named this place the World Inside the Giant Snake’s Belly. So when you heard this name just now, your mind was completely blank and not functioning, right?”

Yan Yu: ………………

This woman dares to mock me? Damn it! If this weren't not Earth, I would have punished her according to family rules long ago!
“It doesn’t matter if it’s not Earth,” Chen Lingyun said with a smile, as if she could read his mind. “To be honest, I really want to try it in this world.”

Her petite figure drew closer, and she looked up at Yan Yu, whose brows were slightly furrowed, and said in a soft, fragrant breath:

"I'm curious."

"What do you have to be curious about?" Yan Yu tried to push her away. "Is your memory palace, which stores a vast amount of knowledge, now filled with pornographic material?"

"No, no, no, that's not what I'm curious about." Chen Lingyun shook her finger. "I just want to know, if the lives that die inside the giant snake's belly all turn into the souls and accomplices enslaved by the giant snake, what about the lives that are born inside the giant snake's belly?"

Yan Yu remained silent for a very long time before finally speaking:

"I don't want to discuss the answer to this question with you."

"That's such a pity," Chen Lingyun sighed. "I thought you at least had a thirst for knowledge."

“It’s not that I lack a thirst for knowledge, but rather that I don’t want to abandon my bottom line when it comes to ethics and morality,” Yan Yu said impatiently. “You’ve never had a bottom line, so of course you don’t have this problem either. So how exactly are we supposed to get out?”

"To get from the real world of Earth to the world inside the giant serpent's belly, the method is to be swallowed by the invisible giant serpent of the real world," Chen Lingyun said calmly. "So, by the same logic, what is the method to return from the world inside the giant serpent's belly to the real world of Earth?"

"Uh..." Yan Yu tentatively replied, "Being devoured by the giant flesh and blood serpent in the world inside my belly?"

"Logical reasoning that even elementary school students can easily complete, right?" Chen Lingyun snapped her fingers.

"But how can you guarantee that if the former is true, the latter must be true?" Yan Yu asked suspiciously. "What if there is no logical connection between them? What if the only outcome of me being swallowed by the giant flesh serpent is to turn into a pile of poop in its intestines?"

“Then I will remain a widow for you,” Chen Lingyun said.

"You fucking..." After being teased, no, provoked, by her repeated provocations, Yan Yu felt his fist harden.

But if you directly punish her according to family rules, you'll undoubtedly fall into her trap—she'd be more than happy to do that! So this is one of the things that Chen Lingyun hates most: she always manages to pinpoint your boundaries and then repeatedly tests the limits, leaving you in a state where you're about to explode but can't.

Yan Yu finally composed himself and said coldly:
"Go and try it."

"Sure," Chen Lingyun said with a sweet smile. "Are you willing to part with it?"

“Of course I’m willing to do it,” Yan Yu said shamelessly, “because I’m absolutely certain that you won’t risk your life and act recklessly without being sure of the outcome.”

"In that case, you should trust me a little more." Chen Lingyun's smile grew even sweeter.

“But if it’s something bad that won’t endanger your life but will give you some amusement, you won’t feel any guilt about doing it,” Yan Yu said decisively. “In short, this time it has to be you who tries.”
