Ye Lingyuan thought for a moment and said, "Chaotian Hou must have a weakness, we just haven't found it yet."
"Mmm! Then let's try again!"
Zi Linling nodded and began to search for Chaotian Hou's weakness.
Chaotian Hou was already enraged.
In its eyes, both Zi Linling and Ye Lingyuan were like ants.
Now, these two ants were jumping on its body like fleas.
What was even more infuriating was that it was helpless. It would be strange if it weren't angry!
When Chaotian Hou was enraged, it made a decision—to shrink its body.
As its body shrank, Ye Lingyuan and Zi Linling immediately lost their maneuvering space and both fell to the ground.
"Po Tian Fourth Style!"
"Wu Ling Bao!"
As they landed, Zi Linling and Ye Lingyuan simultaneously attacked.
They couldn't give Chaotian Hou a chance to breathe, otherwise, once its devouring power was activated, the two of them would be swallowed into its belly.
Just as Chaotian Hou was about to let out a roar and activate its devouring power, it felt two dangerous auras.
In such a situation, even if it could devour the ants Zi Linling and Ye Lingyuan, it would have to endure these two attacks head-on.
Therefore, it opened its mouth and sprayed two energy light waves, even more intense than before, which collided with Zi Linling and Ye Lingyuan's attacks.
Then, it quickly leaped up and jumped out of the center of the energy storm.
Its body had become smaller, but also more agile.
"Boom! Boom!"
Two explosions sounded, and two more mushroom clouds rose into the sky.
The surroundings were once again filled with flying sand and rocks, and the sky and earth turned dark.
The moment Zi Linling and Ye Lingyuan launched their attacks, they turned and fled into the distance.
After the sandstorm passed, the deep pit on the ground had been expanded to a radius of a thousand miles, and its depth had reached a thousand feet.
From the sky, it looked like a canyon spreading out at the bottom of the Cliff of Soul Severing.
Ye Lingyuan and Zi Linling stood at one end of the canyon, continuously spitting blood.
At the other end of the canyon stood a mountain.
That mountain was Chaotian Hou, which had recovered its giant form.
Because the energy of the explosion was too immense, it had to revert to its original form, otherwise, even with its immense power, it would surely be injured.
"Roar!"
Chaotian Hou roared, its mouth opening wide, aimed at Ye Lingyuan and Zi Linling.
"Not good! It's going to unleash its devouring power!"
Ye Lingyuan's expression changed. Without thinking, he pulled Zi Linling and ran forward.
Fortunately, their current location was close to the spatial passage; otherwise, they would have had to retreat the way they came.
Zi Linling naturally did not dare to be negligent and said, "Let's both exert our strength. The moment I use the Illusory Dragon Step, you envelop us both with your law power!"
As she spoke, spiritual energy quickly surged towards her feet.
"Go!"
Zi Linling cried out, and the two of them instantly appeared three thousand meters away.
"Again!"
The two dared not stop and repeated the process, running another three thousand meters.
That is to say, the two of them were now six thousand meters away from Chaotian Hou's location.
"Again!"
The two dared not be careless and prepared to do it one more time.
Just then, a terrifying suction force came from behind them.
The bodies of the two swayed, and the spiritual energy and law power surging on their bodies immediately dissipated.
"Not good!"
The two shouted, their bodies involuntarily flying backward.
"Damn it! This Chaotian Hou's devouring power is too monstrous!"
Zi Linling cursed inwardly.
A distance of six thousand meters was not enough to escape this devouring power. No wonder Ye Lingyuan said they had no chance to escape.
Just then, Ye Lingyuan's voice came, "Lin'er, don't be afraid!"
Zi Linling felt herself falling into a gentle embrace. Although the wind still roared in her ears, it made her feel incredibly secure.
"Lin'er, I think I've found Chaotian Hou's weakness!"
Ye Lingyuan's confident voice rang out.
"Where is it?" Zi Linling asked joyfully.
"As you said, its body is covered in scales and is impervious to blades and spears, but its mouth cannot be covered in scales, right?" A smile played on Ye Lingyuan's lips.
"You mean... the fortress must be attacked from within?" Zi Linling realized with a start.
"Mmm! Get ready! The moment we enter its mouth, I will use the Po Tian Sword to stab into its throat, buying you time.
Then, you will use Wu Ling Bao in its throat to create an explosion. This way, even if it doesn't die, it will be injured, and we can seize the opportunity to escape!"
Zi Linling said, "I understand!"
As the two spoke, they had already reached Chaotian Hou's mouth.
"Lin'er, get ready! Po Tian First Style!"
Ye Lingyuan said, picking up the Po Tian Sword and stabbing towards Chaotian Hou's upper jaw!
This time, he didn't use the Po Tian Fourth Style, because doing so would create a massive energy storm, which would not be conducive to Zi Linling's performance.
As they spoke, they slid along the upper jaw, and finally, the Po Tian Sword narrowly got stuck in Chaotian Hou's throat.
"Lin'er, quickly!"
Ye Lingyuan held the Po Tian Sword tightly with one hand, and Zi Linling's waist with the other, and shouted.
Zi Linling dared not delay, for she knew how much pressure Ye Lingyuan was enduring at that moment.
The hand seals in her hand changed rapidly, and Wu Ling Bao quickly took shape.
"Be careful!"
She reminded Ye Lingyuan, then shouted, "Explode!"
"Boom!"
With a loud explosion, flesh and blood splattered from Chaotian Hou's throat.
The moment Zi Linling reminded him, Ye Lingyuan had already used law power to form a barrier.
Therefore, the shattered flesh and blood were blocked outside the barrier and did not splash onto the two of them.
"Roar roar roar!"
Chaotian Hou roared violently, and its internal devouring power instantly vanished without a trace.
"Go!"
Ye Lingyuan held Zi Linling tightly, quickly withdrew the Po Tian Sword, and charged out of Chaotian Hou's mouth.
All the actions were performed in one go, as smooth as flowing water.
Chaotian Hou sensed something was wrong and was about to close its mouth, but it was ultimately a step too slow, allowing Zi Linling and Ye Lingyuan to escape.
Ye Lingyuan, holding Zi Linling, jumped out of Chaotian Hou's mouth and, with a backward motion, unleashed "Po Tian Fourth Style."
The sword energy drilled into the gap of Chaotian Hou's mouth, which had not yet completely closed, and headed straight for its throat.
"Aoo..."
Chaotian Hou's throat was injured again, and it let out a piercing scream.
Its massive body began to roll on the ground again, trying to alleviate the sharp pain in its throat.
This time, the rolling was different from before; it directly smashed a large pit into the ground.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zi Linling and Ye Lingyuan, without a second thought, scattered towards the spatial passage.
Within a few breaths, they had run for over ten thousand miles.
But before they could catch their breath, the ground behind them began to shake violently.
