“We must be in the stomach of this behemoth.” Jiang Wen scanned the surroundings, certain that this was the stomach of that giant mouth.
Only, this stomach was too enormous; placing an entire city within it would be effortless. Even more worrying was the stomach acid that filled it, constantly spreading towards the top, threatening to fill the entire stomach.
The group flew along the stomach wall, and as soon as they touched it, they saw countless arms extending from the wall, reaching out to grab them. These arms were incredibly tender, like the palms of infants. However, they were as numerous as fluff, appearing dense and endless like weeds.
“What strange things are these?” Hongluan slashed open the reaching arms with her dual blades, seeing that their centers were all flesh, without a single bone. And the severed arms would regrow perfectly intact after a moment.

This kind of abnormality truly made one feel oppressed. If the arms weren't limited in length and couldn't reach the suspended group, they would probably be pulled down by these arms.
However, Jiang Wen's gaze wasn't on these arms but on the wriggling things on the stomach wall. He felt reverence and formed a hand seal with one hand. The Four Symbols Sword Formation emitted a radiant light.
The next moment, the stomach wall was suddenly broken open, and countless slender, parasitic-like things burst out. These things looked like earthworms, with rings of skin folds all over their bodies. However, their heads were different from earthworms; they were like the cutting heads of tunnel boring machines, just like the sandworms Jiang Wen had once seen.
These things were enormous, like a train of dozens of carriages, rushing towards the Four Symbols Sword Formation at high speed.
Clang clang clang—!
Only the symphony of swords and fangs could be heard, as these things intended to devour them all in one bite.
But the Four Symbols Formation, combined with flying swords, had been refined by Jiang Wen with dragon blood. Although not as sharp and mystical as the Illusion Breaker, it was incomparably sturdy. Even if the worms tore and bit with all their might, it was their teeth that shattered.
Jiang Wen looked at the constantly shattering fangs outside the formation, his expression unchanged, and formed another hand seal.
“Heaven above, earth below, all gods and Buddhas, heed my command! Decree!”
A talisman was drawn out of thin air, its light flickering in the air. He pushed it out, directly imprinting it on the largest worm.
The worm was struck as if by lightning, and its originally fierce offensive instantly stopped. It changed direction, biting off the surrounding worms, then opened its mouth wide and swallowed the entire formation into its belly.
“Ah!” Hongluan cried out in alarm, preparing to break open the worm's belly. Jiang Wen stopped her.
“Don't worry, this is something I control,” Jiang Wen said, then told them what had just happened.
It turned out that he had used a control technique to subdue this worm, taking it for his own use. So, although they were now inside the worm's belly, they were actually very safe.
Hongluan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this and curiously asked Jiang Wen why he did this.
Jiang Wen pointed to the outside of the worm's belly and smiled at Hongluan, “I observed just now and found that these worms can move freely in the stomach acid. They can even walk on the fleshy walls of the stomach without restriction. The arms that wanted to capture us also have no reaction to these worms. So, I thought that these worms might have something special about them, maybe even be able to reach a special place. So, I borrowed the Beast Control technique to use its body to take us for a ride.”
Hearing Jiang Wen's words, Hongluan relaxed. She sat on the ground, looking at the surrounding scenery with great interest. These days had been full of disasters, and even cultivators couldn't stand it anymore.

As for Agu, he silently tidied up his bones, polishing his shield and short sword. He was always preparing for the next battle, until he found the real reason for his resurrection.
The worm moved very fast, passing through the flesh mud and plunging into the dark red liquid.
Along the way, Jiang Wen and the others saw various scenes, such as monsters nurtured in meat foam bubbles and beetles rampaging in blood vessels. The world within this giant mouth was bizarre, like a small and strange ecosystem, which Jiang Wen found very novel.
As the worm went deeper, after passing through layers of terrifying and strange organs, it converged with countless identical worms in a certain place. At the moment of breaking through the flesh wall, the entire world began to rain worms.
Countless worms poured into this mysterious space, gathering in the turbid liquid at the bottom.
And in the distance, in the scarlet mist, a giant was entangled by countless blood vessels.
Looking at the giant's appearance, it had a horse's body and a human face, four legs like arms, a tail like a scorpion, and four eyes tightly closed.
The giant's appearance was so strange that even Hongluan couldn't help but open her mouth wide, staring blankly at the giant's proud figure. She called out a name.
“Edict Creation Divine Sovereign.”
The Edict Creation Divine Sovereign was one of the Four Heavenly Venerables of the Orthodox Divine Dao. Jiang Wen didn't understand the internal stories of the Orthodox Divine Dao, but he thought of something and took out a thin booklet from his storage bag.
Written on it was 《Orthodox Divine Dao》, which was exactly what Jiang Wen had obtained from the Blood Demon Ancestor.
Opening this booklet, what caught his eye was the outline to the classification. The first thing mentioned was the Four Heavenly Venerables.
Sure enough, Jiang Wen smiled. This booklet should be the bible of the Orthodox Divine Dao.
Opening to the Edict Creation Divine Sovereign, the picture was the same as the giant in front of him.
It wrote: Edict Creation Divine Sovereign, respectfully called Supreme God Taiyi, Edict Creation of All Things Divine Venerable Heavenly Lord. He is one of the incarnations of the Three Luminous World Honored Ones, and his magic power is boundless. He is the source of all life and the foundation of all things.
All things in the world are created by the Creation Divine Sovereign. The Creation Divine Sovereign took the water of the chaotic blood sea to create the sinful things in the world. Only by converting to the Orthodox Divine Dao and sincerely washing away the sinful body can one obtain true fruit and become a truly holy being.
What was written in the book was mystical and rambling, and in Jiang Wen's view, it was still a religious statement with the theory of sin. It was just that he didn't expect the cultivation world to not seek longevity but instead create these things, which was really difficult to understand.
Jiang Wen was thinking, cultivation is inherently about defying the heavens and changing fate, so if one has to worship gods and seek Buddhas, then what is the purpose of this cultivation?
Unable to understand its meaning and unclear about its thoughts, he put the booklet into his storage bag and looked at the monster that looked like the Creation Divine Sovereign in the distance.
That monster was at least a hundred meters tall, as proud and majestic as a skyscraper. It was just that now it was penetrated and bound by various blood vessel intestines, staying in place with its four eyes tightly closed.
And the worms that landed here flocked towards the monster. They flew and bit onto the monster's body, and then the entire worm body slowly merged into the monster's body.
After seeing these scenes, Jiang Wen understood why these worms could rampage in the giant mouth's body. It turned out that their ultimate mission was to provide nutrients for this monster. To give birth to a Creation Divine Sovereign?
Looking at this monster, Jiang Wen was very puzzled. What would happen if this monster was created? Were these people not afraid that the monster would lose control? And finally, affect themselves.
Just as he was thinking, he felt several auras coming. Jiang Wen's expression moved, and he formed a hand seal to completely shield the auras of the three.
