108: Emperor's Prison (Qingguang Zhao Hanxiang Boss plus more.)
They sank for an unknown amount of time, until the shaking stopped, and everyone’s expressions tightened.
Just then, the mountain-swallowing giant python spat out the entire mountain.
Accompanied by violent tremors, half of Mi Mountain crashed heavily onto the ground.
The human-faced giant python stopped in front of Li Yan and the others, its golden snake eyes staring at Li Yan in the darkness.
Li Yan and the others stood on the mountaintop, looking at this enormous creature.
This giant python could swallow the heavens and devour the earth with its gaping maw; it was truly terrifying.
Li Yan and the others standing before it were as tiny as microorganisms.
A hundred-zhang Golden Body Avatar was nothing more than a toothpick in front of the giant python.
Such a massive mountain-swallowing giant python filled everyone with a deep sense of powerlessness.
The giant python’s snake eyes in the darkness were like two suns, their emitted light illuminating the entire abyss.
“This giant python… my hundred-zhang Golden Body Avatar is like a toothpick in front of it, only enough to pick its teeth.”
If not for his invincible body in the dream, Li Yan would have already gone weak in the knees.
Only if his Golden Body Avatar reached ten thousand zhang could he barely contend with this giant python.
Li Yan mumbled, “A Bashe swallowing an elephant… Could this be a Dragon?”
The people beside him heard Li Yan say this and looked over.
“Revered Master, what is a Dragon?”
Clearly, the people of this world had never heard of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Li Yan was also unsure if the giant python in front of him was the legendary Dragon.
Because its appearance still differed somewhat from that of a Dragon; it wasn’t exactly similar.
The Dragon Tiger Immortal beside him also broke out in a cold sweat: “This human-faced giant python must be at least tens of thousands of zhang tall, right?”
“More than that!”
Ember Immortal pointed at the snake’s body: “There’s still a large section of its body hidden in the darkness; it’s probably over a hundred thousand zhang in size!”
A hundred thousand zhang!
That number alone was enough to inspire despair.
Looking at the ‘two suns’ suspended high in the abyss, Li Yan couldn’t imagine how long this snake truly was.
But the more this happened, the calmer Li Yan became.
After all, as long as he possessed an undying body, he could fully explore without restraint.
Furthermore.
The mountain-swallowing giant python in front of them seemed to have no intention of attacking them; if it wanted to kill Li Yan, simply swallowing him earlier would have been enough.
This mountain-swallowing giant python bit off Mi Mountain City, held them in its mouth, and brought them to this underground abyss.
Clearly, the giant python must have some purpose.
The giant python quietly raised its snake head, its golden eyes gazing intently at Li Yan.
The golden light emitted from its two eyeballs illuminated everything around them.
Li Yan shifted his gaze from the giant python to his surroundings.
“It probably doesn’t intend to kill us; it must have brought us here for something else.”
Looking around, Li Yan discovered that this underground abyss was also filled with undulating mountains, like an underground world.
However, the rivers and mountains here were different from those on the surface.
The rivers here flowed with lava; it was a Boiling River.
This place was more like the legendary Hell, but different from the underworld.
At least here, there were no wandering Souls; looking around, there was nothing.
Everyone also calmed down and began to gather around Li Yan.
“Revered Master, why did that big snake bring us to this underground abyss?”
Li Yan narrowed his eyes: “Your Revered Master is also unsure, perhaps we will have an answer very soon.”
That enormous creature, with a human face and snake body, just stood there, staring at the few of them.
To be honest, turning one’s back to this giant python truly made one’s scalp tingle.
But Li Yan remained composed and began to walk down the mountain.
Upon seeing this, the three disciples were all amazed by their Revered Master’s courage.
Even they, Great Ascension Stage Immortals, had gone weak in the knees facing that giant python.
Yet Li Yan could maintain a leisurely expression and begin to descend the mountain to explore…
“Revered Master is indeed Revered Master.”
As the two Fairies exclaimed, the Dragon Tiger Immortal whispered, “Don’t even mention it, this old man experienced the feeling of wetting his pants for the first time.”
This white-haired old rascal showed a look of shame.
He was old, with little Lifespan remaining, yet he was still scared into a cold sweat by this mountain-swallowing giant python.
That kind of fear, originating from the depths of the Soul, even an Immortal couldn’t suppress it.
On the other side, Li Yan, walking ahead, had already leaped down from Mi Mountain City and arrived at the underground abyss where lava flowed.
He looked at the boiling, bubbling lava river in front of him, then at the large snake behind him.
“Your Excellency, what is your intention in bringing us here?”
“Be straightforward, I, Li Yan, don’t like riddles!”
Under the astonished gazes of his disciples, Li Yan shouted a few times at the large snake.
Everyone else avoided provoking the large snake, but Li Yan didn’t care.
In response to Li Yan’s question, the human face with closed eyes let out a hoarse voice.
“That ancient god and you have broken the rules.”
“As long as you can walk out of this Emperor’s Prison, I will let you go and pursue the matter no further.”
Broken the rules?
Li Yan narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.
Could it be that his Transmigration through time, changing history, interfered with the operation of the Heavenly Dao?
No…
That’s not right.
If that were truly the case, he would have been killed long ago when he returned to reality.
If there’s such a mountain-swallowing giant python in the dream, then there’s also a mountain-swallowing giant python in reality!
If it truly wanted to kill Li Yan, it could just kill him in reality.
Moreover, it said that he and the ancient god broke the rules.
The ancient god also broke the rules?
“Never mind…”
“The giant python said that as long as we can find a way to leave this place, it will let us go.”
Li Yan looked up at the ceiling: “Is there a flying Restriction here? Do we need to climb along the abyss mountain path to leave this place?”
He closed his eyes and felt it for a moment.
【Side effect of this place: Flying Restriction.】
【Host can bypass the Restriction side effect.】
In other words, Li Yan could just fly up and leave, taking his disciples with him.
But he didn’t act rashly, fearing that he might cross the large snake’s bottom line.
It had said that as long as he walked out of the abyss, it would pursue the matter no further.
It’s best not to fly right under the snake’s nose; he should follow its rules!
Unsure of what kind of divine being this large snake was, Li Yan decided to play it safe.
“The first trial of the Emperor’s Prison, the Boiling River.”
“How many Immortal Emperors could not withstand its burning and were trapped within it.”
As the large snake’s voice sounded, Li Yan and the others had already arrived before the Boiling River.
They could see countless arms reaching out from the lava.
Those people were all Immortal Emperors, trapped in the Boiling River, enduring endless burning.
OHazy moon and the others behind him showed expressions of horror.
“Immortal Emperors?”
“If they can’t cross this river, how can we?”
Before OHazy moon and the others could finish speaking, Li Yan had already taken a step and extended his foot.
As Li Yan’s foot stepped into the Boiling River, a sizzling sound could be heard.
Even Li Yan, with his undying and indestructible body, reacted somewhat to the terrifying high temperature.
Li Yan, who felt no pain, sniffed the smell wafting from his leg and couldn’t help but remark.
“Hmm? This roasted meat smell… it’s quite fragrant.”
OHazy moon almost broke down, saying, “Revered Master!! This is not the time for jokes!”
