Inside the giant shark’s stomach.

The only remaining bit of potion power in Xiao Tian’s body was fully absorbed by him, covering every part of his body as if forming a protective shield, protecting his flesh from being corroded by stomach acid.

The strands of potion power fused into Xiao Tian’s body, and at this moment, Xiao Tian could clearly feel his entire body was surrounded by an intense burning sensation, as if it was about to ignite his whole being.

Just then, Xiao Tian was surprised to discover that under the intense burning sensation, his body had turned a shade of crimson!

This shade of crimson enveloped his body. Even the stomach acid dripping from the shark’s insides onto his body was instantly evaporated!

Xiao Tian was taken aback, was the potion power this potent? Could it actually resist the stomach acid?

"Seems like this potion power fused with my blood has caused a mutation..."

Xiao Tian mumbled to himself. If it weren’t for being in a perilous situation, Xiao Tian would never have chosen to combine the residual potion power with his blood.

Because if an error occurred, his entire body might instantly swell and explode!

Fortunately, this life-risking attempt by Xiao Tian proved effective.

However, his joy did not last long; the next moment, Xiao Tian’s entire body was wracked with heart-wrenching pain!

The potion liquid mixed with various monster internal organ blood and Xiao Tian’s blood was finally showing signs of disintegration!

Xiao Tian could clearly feel his blood vessels within seemed on the verge of bursting, countless cells surged forth, then exploded.

The genes within his body swelled and expanded like they’ve been catalyzed, then suddenly fused back together.

Countless chromosomes, genes mixed together, and blue veins bulged on Xiao Tian’s head, a feeling of collapse filled his entire being.

At this moment, Xiao Tian was truly surrounded by the sensation of death! Because he had no idea what was happening inside his body!

He could only faintly sense that a giant change seemed to be happening within him!

The pain seemed to originate from the depths of Xiao Tian’s soul, as if something was violently stabbing inside him.

"Pfft!"

In the next moment, Xiao Tian spit out a mouthful of fresh blood. At this moment, the blood vessels in his body actually exploded, twisting his internal organs into a tumult.

Xiao Tian’s breath instantly became weak, only one step away from death!

Initially, Xiao Tian thought that once the potion and his blood fully merged, he might escape death, but now it seemed that fate was not on his side!

The rampant potion power wreaked havoc inside him, devouring Xiao Tian’s cells and genetic tissue. At this rate, Xiao Tian would soon become an unconscious shell, eventually buried within the shark’s body.

Feeling the increasingly weak aura inside him, a sense of impending death filled Xiao Tian’s entire being.

Suddenly, Xiao Tian felt so drowsy, wanting to close his eyes and have a good sleep.

"Heh, who would’ve thought I’d end up dying in this beast’s mouth."

Xiao Tian grinned, indifferent to life and death.

"No!" Just as Xiao Tian was about to give up, for some reason, he thought of Lin Bingxuan and his family.

Recalling Lin Bingxuan’s tearful goodbye and their recent time together, Xiao Tian’s heart ached.

"Bingxuan... Han Yan... In the end, I’ve let you down..."

Xiao Tian’s tone filled with regret. Was he doomed to never spending his life with his loved ones?

If he died, would the Raindrop Organization harm his family?

It’s easy to say you’re indifferent to life and death, but how can a living being be without attachments?

At this moment, within the depths of Xiao Tian’s mind, a figure suddenly appeared. The figure was blurry but slowly approached him.

As the figure got closer, Xiao Tian finally saw clearly that it was his past self from years ago!

The other "Xiao Tian" dressed in his old special forces uniform, shouting, "It’s not time to give up yet!"

"It’s not time to give up yet..."

Xiao Tian muttered, the once dim light in his eyes flaring up into a blazing fire, a desire for life!

Since he still had a breath in him, he couldn’t give up!

Xiao Tian grasped his dagger, seizing the brief moment the potion still sustained his actions; he frantically slashed through the organs and vessels blocking his path, beginning a desperate sprint.

"Huff—"

Feeling the intense pain within, the shark’s colossal body shuddered violently, beginning to thrash around.

Boom!

The pain drove the shark to smash into a massive reef nearby, instantly causing a bloody wound, with blood swirling in the water.

But even so, the agony of shredded organs couldn’t be alleviated; the shark, as large as a boat, continued thrashing wildly, generating mighty waves.

Meanwhile, Xiao Tian felt like a headless fly, darting within the shark’s enormous, cavernous insides, as big as a train coach!

A stench of organs filled the surroundings. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

With darkness all around, Xiao Tian had no way to see an exit; all he knew was to keep moving forward, slashing anything in his way!

"Huff—"

As time passed, the last trace of vitality in Xiao Tian finally weakened, and his steps slowed.

Yet he still hadn’t found an exit; the shark’s interior, massive like a maze, hindered his progress as he treads over various organs, slowing his advance indefinitely.

Xiao Tian’s oxygen was nearly depleted, and he couldn’t hold on much longer; continuing on, even breaking out of the shark, he’d lack the strength to reach the surface!

"Damn it! Damn it!" Xiao Tian roared in despair.

His eyes grew drowsy while his organs shriveled from lack of oxygen, leaving him extremely weak.

Then suddenly, from somewhere, a light shone around Xiao Tian!

At this moment, his surroundings didn’t seem like inside a shark but rather a strange space filled with stars and occasional meteors, like he was in the vast universe.

Surrounding luminous circles intertwined, strong waves of forces swept over, unbelievably wondrous!
