In the Belly of the Calamity of Taboo
"Chen Ling" was stunned for several full seconds, and a surge of anger instantly climbed into his eyes!
"Are you playing with me?!!!"
He said he would help him remove the shackles once they reached the place, but in the end, that place was actually in the belly of the Calamity of Taboo... That's a World-Ending Calamity! Letting one World-Ending Calamity swallow another World-Ending Calamity, what's the difference between this and making a fool out of him?!
"I am not playing with you. The place I want to go to is indeed in its belly." Master answered calmly. "If you are unwilling to go, you can leave right now."
"You..."
"Chen Ling" glared at Master for a long time. The flames of anger in his eyes first burned intensely, but ultimately, he still swallowed it back indignantly... He gritted his teeth and spoke coldly: "Fine, you'd better do as you said."
"Chen Ling"'s figure swayed, turning into a stream of light and diving into the bottom of the sea. As the Red Paper Umbrella spun in mid-air, the endless seawater was parted to form a vacuum tunnel, extending all the way to the end of the pitch-black abyss.
"No... Senior Red King, are we really going into the belly of the Calamity of Taboo?" Jian Changsheng opened his mouth wide in disbelief.
"Naturally it is true."
"No... why? Do you want to drive a tiger to swallow a wolf?"
"You'll know once we get into the Calamity of Taboo's belly." As his voice fell, Master tapped his toes on the sea surface, and also dove headfirst into the sea surface of the Forbidden Sea.
Helpless, Jian Changsheng could only follow closely behind.
Seeing that the three people actually headed towards the bottom of the sea, the numerous Eighth-Tier Calamities watching from afar instantly couldn't sit still.
One had to know that that was the resting area of the master of the Forbidden Sea. They originally thought that the Calamity of Mockery coming here to cause a ruckus was almost about time to leave. Who would have thought that Monkey Sun didn't fancy that Sea-Calming Divine Pillar, but went for the Dragon King of the East Sea instead?!
Just as they prepared to make a move, the next moment, the second World-Ending Aura surged up from the bottom of the deep sea!
Boom—!!!
At the bottom of the deep sea filled with icy coldness and pitch darkness, a massive pair of pupils like pale Lanterns slowly opened...
From the moment "Chen Ling" and the others barged into the Forbidden Sea until now, this king of the Forbidden Sea had never actively released its Aura, allowing them to wreak havoc in its territory. But when they came straight for the bottom of the sea, even the Calamity of Taboo, who disliked fighting the most, couldn't keep its composure at this moment.
The World-Destroying Tier Oppressive Aura filled the seawater, and deep-sea ripples frantically spread towards the surroundings. The abyss-like pitch-black bottom of the deep sea suddenly trembled violently, as if there was an earthquake!
Buzz buzz buzz buzz—
As the seawater vibrated, the earth's crust cracked open visibly to the naked eye!
Dust and crushed stones churned at the bottom of the sea. Submarine peaks slowly towered up and took shape amidst the crustal movements. Countless ravines surfaced at the bottom of the sea, even directly sweeping some low-tier Calamities into them!
This scene was like the end of the world at the bottom of the sea.
"Senior Red King!" The seawater churned around Jian Changsheng as if it were boiling. He was frightened pale.
Master grabbed onto the soon-to-drift-away Jian Changsheng with one hand, standing at the bottom of the sea with a serious expression, his gaze staring intently at that Great Red Paper Umbrella sinking into the deepest part of the seabed...
Two World-Ending Calamities silently gazed at each other at the deepest part of the Forbidden Sea.
In front of those two Lantern-like sun pupils, "Chen Ling"'s figure was incredibly insignificant. He wore a set of White Paper Shackles, but his expression was full of disdain and contempt. He sneered and spoke:
"What are you looking at, Old geezer... What? You don't want those remaining few teeth of yours either?"
Those two massive Lantern eyes became increasingly dazzling and blinding!
The next moment, countless Curse Runes surfaced from around the giant eyes.
In the pitch-black abyss-like seawater, the outline of a massive behemoth was slowly drawn... That was a creature even more massive than the Dust Dragon. It crawled beneath the deep sea, its appearance unclear, but its oppressive sensation even overshadowed "Chen Ling". It was as if just a gaze could make the entire ocean tremble!
A giant mouth like a black hole slowly opened at the bottom of the deep sea. White Curse Runes lit up on the inner walls of the giant mouth. The terrifying suction force directly shrouded the sea area within a radius of dozens of kilometers. All matter seemed to be swept into an invisible vortex, flying uncontrollably towards there!
And "Chen Ling", who was closest to it, was directly situated at the very center of the vortex. Compared to his figure, that giant mouth flickering with Curse Runes was like a black hole under the deep sea. With a light suck, it swallowed him whole into it...
"Chen Ling" was swallowed in one mouthful, and the water-repelling effect brought by the Red Paper Umbrella also vanished without a trace. Jian Changsheng was instantly enveloped by endless seawater. He struggled frantically in it like a landlubber. Bubbles floated out from his nose and mouth with a glug glug, his eyes full of terror.
"Hold your breath."
A faint light flickered in Master's eyes. Grabbing Jian Changsheng's back collar with one hand, his body naturally relaxed, and he was swept into that giant mouth along with the submarine vortex, vanishing without a trace...
...
Jian Changsheng struggled desperately with his hands in the seawater, but there was only endless pitch blackness before his eyes.
He was like being blindfolded and thrown into a tumbling washing machine, tumbling frantically in countless vortexes for nearly a minute before abruptly being spat out, falling heavily into a space without water currents!
Jian Changsheng let out a muffled scream. Without time to distinguish where this place was, he directly propped himself up and began continuously vomiting water.
His entire person was somewhat dazed. He didn't even know if he was still in the belly of the Calamity of Taboo... In his impression, he had drifted in the vortex for a full minute or more. If this distance was the throat and esophagus of the Calamity of Taboo, then just how huge was this guy's true body?
A Theatrical Robe brushed past Jian Changsheng. After Master's gaze swept across the surroundings, he raised his hand and gently snapped his fingers.
Snap—!
As the melodious echo rang out, more than a dozen balls of scorching flames flew out from Master's sleeve like Stagecraft, flying in all directions at extremely fast speed, ultimately hovering in the air in various directions...
Under the illumination of these flames, the darkness was quickly dispersed, and the surrounding environment finally became clearly visible.
After vomiting all the water in his stomach, he staggered to stand up from the ground. The next moment, his entire person froze in place in disbelief...
Under his feet was not the soft inner wall of the stomach and intestines he had imagined, but ancient stone bricks full of the breath of time. Broken walls and ruins filled his line of sight all around. In the distance, there was even a towering incomplete building, like an altar.
"This... where is this place?" Jian Changsheng spoke in astonishment. "Inside the belly of the Calamity of Taboo, there is actually an abandoned temple??"
"This is not a temple." Master spoke calmly,
"This is that missing fragment of the Ancient Vault of the Witchcraft Path. It is one of the legendary holy lands of the Path of the Witch God... This place, is the Land of Divine Rituals."
