169: Ao Jiao was defeated and Li Yan was swallowed.
Li Yan knew very well that although his Soul was invincible, his strength and Cultivation were still relatively weak.
However, with his high Divine Soul intensity, there were many more things he could do.
For example, he could dive into Yuan Ye's belly to extract the core!
He raised his hand, which was a Dragon Claw.
Using the sharp claws of his Dragon Soul Golden Body, he began to cut open the membrane surrounding the Yuan Ye's beast core.
Once the beast core was removed, this Yuan Ye would not be far from death.
However, Ao Jiao outside was unaware. She bit and tore at the Yuan Ye like crazy, leaving herself covered in wounds and in a sorry state.
Gradually, Ao Jiao was injured by the Yuan Ye's poisonous teeth, and the toxins in her body deepened.
Slowly, her massive Dragon body began to weaken, losing even the strength to bite.
This was the Yuan Ye's paralyzing toxin, which not only caused the wound to bleed continuously but also paralyzed the prey with poison.
The Ancient Dragon's enormous body crashed heavily into the seabed.
The Yuan Ye was extremely cunning and intelligent. It used its turtle shell for protection, constantly wearing down Ao Jiao's stamina.
Only when Ao Jiao collapsed did it begin to bite the Ancient Dragon's body with its two heads, dragging Ao Jiao back to its cave, preparing for a feast.
A majestic Ancient Dragon of the Ancient Dragon Clan, Ao Jiao felt her entire body go limp, dragged away like a dead dog by the two-headed crocodile.
At this moment, she felt an inexplicable urge to laugh.
"My strength hasn't even recovered yet."
"I wanted to save Little Bean Sprout, but I didn't manage to save him; instead, I got myself into trouble."
Thinking that she was about to be torn to shreds and swallowed by this Yuan Ye, one of the Four Fiends, piece by piece.
Ao Jiao felt an inexplicable sadness: "It's such a pity, I couldn't save Little Bean Sprout."
"I shouldn't have spoiled him before, it killed him, and it killed me too..."
"It seems I can only reunite with him in the Yuan Ye's belly, heh..."
If you asked Ao Jiao if she regretted it?
She would definitely not regret it!
Imprisoned at the bottom of the sea for tens of thousands of years, she hadn't seen her own kind for a long time.
Dying for love, she had no regrets.
The Dragon Clan is different from the Human Race. Human Race Immortals can sever their seven emotions and six desires, and can be ungrateful, suppressing their own emotions.
But the Dragon Clan cannot, because every Ancient Dragon is so precious. Ancient Dragons have long lifespans, but it is extremely difficult to conceive a Dragon egg and raise offspring.
Many Ancient Dragons can only lay a few precious Dragon eggs in their lifetime, and only by relying on their long lifespans can they slowly accumulate the numbers of the Dragon Clan.
Unlike the Human Race, who are like ants, able to frantically give birth to a large number of young.
Ancient Dragons do not need to sever their desires like Human Race Cultivators for longevity; they are born with long lifespans.
Once they recognize a partner, they will stay by his side until death.
In her remaining consciousness, Ao Jiao was dragged back into the cave by the Yuan Ye like a dog.
Just as the Yuan Ye was about to begin its feast, a bloody banquet.
The Yuan Ye suddenly felt a sharp pain in its abdomen. Its two heads looked at each other, and they could see terror in each other's eyes.
"That little golden Dragon we just ate, is it still alive?"
"How is that possible!"
The Yuan Ye, which had not spoken, emitted a male and a female voice from its two heads.
The Yuan Ye is hermaphroditic, both siblings, and can also be...
And now, they were just about to tear the Ancient Dragon apart and enjoy a good meal.
But they felt a sharp pain in their Dantian. Their muscles were rapidly withering, and their turtle shell was being crushed by the seawater.
The terrifying water pressure from tens of thousands of meters deep pressed on the turtle shell, making loud cracking sounds.
Losing the beast core meant losing power.
The two-headed Yuan Ye let out a mixed male and female scream.
"Spit it out quickly!"
"Can't spit it out, that little golden Dragon is holding on tightly to the flesh in our belly."
"Use high temperature, use high temperature to refine it!"
"I'm already using it!"
"That high temperature is enough to refine even the most solid metal in this world, but it's useless against him!"
Putting everything else aside, the temperature inside the Yuan Ye's belly is almost unbearable for anyone in the world.
"I'm refining him with Twenty-Four Mountain Yin Fire, why isn't he dying!"
The two-headed Yuan Ye was stunned. Let alone Ancient Dragons, even if the Heavenly Emperor was eaten by them, he might not be able to get out, provided they could eat the Heavenly Emperor.
For example, if they could really eat the Heavenly Emperor, and assuming the Heavenly Emperor did not resist or escape, it would only take half an hour for the Yuan Ye to refine the Heavenly Emperor.
And Li Yan's current situation was that he was forcibly extracting the core while enduring the Twenty-Four Mountain Yin Fire inside the Yuan Ye!
The process of extracting the core was long, requiring him to constantly cut open the membrane with his claws, as well as the countless connecting tendons.
Li Yan meticulously used his claws to cut off the entire beast core little by little.
The entire process had already exceeded half an hour. Even the Heavenly Emperor could not have stayed in this high temperature for half an hour, but he ignored this terrifying temperature.
The System even kept prompting Li Yan.
The host has been refined for a full half an hour in the Twenty-Four Mountain Yin Fire.
The host has comprehended thegetting Started (Introduction) to Twenty-Four Mountain Yin Fire, which can be officially converted to thegetting Started (Introduction) to Six Ding Divine Fire.
And as Li Yan cut open the Meridians connected to the beast core, the Yuan Ye, this two-headed alligator turtle, was losing strength and being flattened by the terrifying water pressure.
By eating Li Yan, they had eaten something truly terrible!
With a tragic scream, the Yuan Ye roared: "I can't die!"
"I don't want to die either!"
"Quick, give me your remaining strength!"
"No, you give it to me!"
The two heads of the Yuan Ye, one male and one female, looked at each other.
To survive, to separate from the turtle shell, these two heads actually began to bite each other!
The two alligator-turtle-like heads bit and devoured each other, both wanting to absorb the other's remaining energy to survive.
Ancient Dragon Ao Jiao saw this, and her heavy eyelids gradually lifted.
"Little Bean Sprout, is he still alive?"
"The Yuan Ye's two heads are actually killing each other?"
While the Yuan Ye was occupied with itself, Ao Jiao was slowly recovering by relying on her vigorous vitality.
She slowly floated up, showing a disgusted expression.
"Beasts are just beasts, they don't understand love, only primal instinct."
"Even if you Cultivate the Dao, it's still the Dao of beasts, haha!"
Ao Jiao, who was originally despairing, never expected that Li Yan could actually make these two heads of the Yuan Ye tear at each other.
Although she didn't know what method Li Yan used to survive inside the Yuan Ye, Ao Jiao immediately became spirited.
She saw that while the two heads of the Yuan Ye were tearing at each other, the male head, relying on brute force, swallowed its twin sister.
Afterward, it wanted to rely on the remaining energy to sever its head and escape!
She saw the Yuan Ye forcibly tear open its own neck, leaving only one head to swim away.
But how could Ao Jiao let him go?
She froze the cave entrance with a single breath of Dragon Qi!
The Yuan Ye, with only one head left, crashed into it in a panic, and was ultimately frozen into an icicle by Ao Jiao's Dragon Qi.
Having lost its beast core, it also lost most of its strength.
Even after dealing with this Vicious Beast, Ao Jiao was still somewhat incredulous.
"Yuan Ye, one of the Four Fiends, was actually killed by Little Bean Sprout?"
"Little Bean Sprout, are you... alright?"
Before Ao Jiao could finish speaking, the Yuan Ye, which had clearly died, suddenly began to move.
"Hmm?"
"This Yuan Ye... how did it revive!"
