Ye Chenfeng revealed his true strength, surprising Bao Xiangtian who had underestimated him. After a brief but deadly confrontation, Ye Chenfeng easily defeated and killed Bao Xiangtian. Just as Ye Chenfeng was recovering the Green Flame, the ground began to shake violently, and a colossal Flame Demon Fish, far larger than any seen before and possessing the power of the Peak Divine King Realm, emerged from the pool.

As the colossal Flame Demon Fish leaped vertically from the natural pool, Ye Chenfeng swiftly clenched his hand, drawing the Green Flame back into his Dantian. Simultaneously, he retreated several paces, old Bai Wu Fengxian and old Hei Jiang Yuntian’s voices echoing in his mind. Ye Chenfeng’s suspicions mirrored those of Old Bai and Old Hei. Old Bai Wu Fengxian stated, "Little fellow, this gargantuan Flame Demon Fish could very well be the progenitor of this domain. From Old Hei’s and my perception, this Flame Demon Fish is ancient. Otherwise, even at the Divine King Realm's apex, its size wouldn't be this extraordinary. The Flame Demon Fish we encountered earlier pales in comparison to this one." As Old Bai Wu Fengxian's words resonated, Ye Chenfeng quickly entered a passage. He had no desire to engage in a prolonged conflict with this Peak Divine King Realm Flame Demon Fish in this location. Although his own strength had ascended to the Divine King Realm, he was uncertain of the Flame Demon Fish's combat prowess, especially considering its peak Divine King Realm strength. Even if Ye Chenfeng could eventually vanquish the Flame Demon Fish, it would likely come at a significant cost. For Ye Chenfeng at this moment, the paramount objective was to discover a method to exit the enigmatic space, particularly since the siblings Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong awaited him within the formation, leaving him no room for time-wasting encounters here. Ye Chenfeng rapidly navigated the passage, and Old Hei Jiang Yuntian's voice boomed in his mind, "Kid, the ancestor of that Flame Demon Fish must be in secluded cultivation at the pool's depths. Old Bai and I can sense its life force is nearly depleted, on the cusp of entering the Divine Venerable Realm. Once it transcends to the Divine Venerable Realm, its lifespan will be extended considerably." "The purplish-red boiling liquid within that natural pool is vital for the Flame Demon Fish ancestor's advancement. Previously, the Green Flame's absorption of the inner fiery energy might have disturbed the ancestor from its meditative state." Following Old Hei Jiang Yuntian's pronouncement, a sudden influx of suction manifested within Ye Chenfeng's passage, powerfully tugging at his person. The pull was incredibly potent; despite Ye Chenfeng channeling his Initial Stage Divine King Realm aura to its zenith, his feet struggled to maintain purchase. As moments elapsed, the suction within the passage intensified relentlessly until, at a crucial instant, Ye Chenfeng lost all control over his body, being violently propelled airborne by the force, ultimately hurtling back towards the grand chamber. In mere moments, Ye Chenfeng found himself drawn back into the vast expanse containing the natural pool. Having been forcibly returned, Ye Chenfeng finally discerned the source of the suction, his gaze narrowing slightly. He beheld the gargantuan Flame Demon Fish ancestor, its blood-red maw agape. From within its mouth, an air current had coalesced into a vortex, the overwhelming suction emanating directly from its jaws. Furthermore, a pungent, putrid odor billowed from its blood-red maw. Upon spotting Ye Chenfeng, the Flame Demon Fish ancestor's crimson eyes flared with ferocity, its murderous intent saturating the atmosphere, and the suction from its mouth intensified further. Its formidable, elongated teeth, glinting under the luminescence of the purplish-red boiling fire liquid, appeared menacing, sending an involuntary shiver down the spine. It abruptly amplified the suction within its maw, causing the aerial vortex to spin with even greater velocity. Confronted by this inescapable pull, Ye Chenfeng’s body was beyond his command; his brows furrowed deeply, and his eyes brimmed with grave apprehension. Observing himself being drawn inexorably towards the Flame Demon Fish ancestor’s blood-red maw, Ye Chenfeng recognized the ancestor's intent to tear him asunder, and the biting power of a Peak Divine King Realm Flame Demon Fish was undeniably formidable. Rather than having his body mangled by the terrifying Flame Demon Fish ancestor's fangs, Ye Chenfeng reasoned it might be preferable to follow the suction into the colossal Flame Demon Fish ancestor's very being. With this resolve, Ye Chenfeng submitted to the suction, accelerating his body to its absolute maximum. With a resounding 'bang!', as Ye Chenfeng plunged into the Flame Demon Fish ancestor's gullet, its teeth snapped shut ferociously. Just a hair's breadth away from being caught. Fortunately, Ye Chenfeng's speed proved sufficient, for otherwise, his body would have been utterly crushed by the Flame Demon Fish ancestor's incisors. The suction originating from the blood-red maw unceremoniously deposited Ye Chenfeng into the Flame Demon Fish's stomach. The Flame Demon Fish's stomach was cavernous, permitting Ye Chenfeng to stand comfortably without any sense of confinement. Within the gut of the Flame Demon Fish ancestor, a viscous, green gastric fluid pooled, reaching up to Ye Chenfeng’s knees. This stomach acid possessed an exceptionally potent corrosive nature.

Even with Ye Chenfeng's Divine King Realm Initial Stage cultivation, remaining in this place for an extended period could lead to his body's dissolution. He urgently needed to escape from the Flame Demon Fish ancestor's innards.

The Flame Demon Fish ancestor also appeared to sense that Ye Chenfeng was still alive, as its spiritual energy suddenly concentrated within its stomach. The green stomach acid, which had already reached Ye Chenfeng's knees, began to churn and boil furiously.

As more spiritual energy amassed in its stomach.

The stomach acid inside the Flame Demon Fish ancestor grew thicker and more viscous. Ye Chenfeng's feet, immersed in the acid, found themselves completely stuck, unable to move an inch as if glued fast.

Before long, a portion of the green stomach acid started to creep up and adhere to the stomach walls.

"Whish-whish-whish!"

The clinging green stomach acid on the stomach walls solidified into countless sticky, green tendrils.

These green tendrils swiftly wrapped around Ye Chenfeng's arms. It was evident the Flame Demon Fish ancestor intended to completely immobilize him, ensuring he would slowly dissolve within its belly.

His feet were submerged and held fast in the thick, green stomach acid, while his arms were ensnared by the green tendrils derived from the acid. The other ends of these tendrils were firmly anchored to the stomach walls.

Ye Chenfeng felt the skin on his feet beginning to corrode. This dire predicament was untenable; his feet would be entirely consumed. However, the stomach acid's green tendrils proved incredibly restrictive. Every attempt to channel spiritual Qi into his arms was siphoned away by these tendrils, leaving him feeling as though he was sinking into an inescapable abyss.
