In the Depths
Yang Fu dived in headfirst, disregarding whatever dangers or poisons that lay beneath the water's surface. He defiantly held his breath as his awkward dive-in caused the water to thump against his chest, making him want to vomit air faster than he could breathe it.
"Sun Fury Fist!" He screamed while a storm of furious sun-fire materialised around his right hand, throwing a massive overhead fist towards the swarm of piranha-like fish!
Boom!
The ten feet wide pond exploded like a geyser!
Fish flew, pond scum shot off!
The now innumerably squared multi-coloured square started to fall in the air!
Spinning and rushing throughout, increasingly growing in both size and mass!
As it started to free-fall in the air, it created the sound of a screeching whistle resounded throughout the sky.
"Oh no…" Yang Fu's face turned from a cocky brash man, to humble and regretful. The cube that was as large as he was going to fall directly upon him!
"Hhhhhhu." Taking a lungful of air until even his cheeks were inflated, he rushed out of the pond without a moment's notice.
As he clipped his feet together, he screamed, "Sun Scrying Kick!"
In an instant his feet blasted outwards from the soles, launching him into the air!
His scream riled the formerly quiet atmosphere, and an ancient and furious roar resounded from beneath the water as a vortex started to open up beneath him.
"What is that?!!?!?"
Yang Fu screamed in horror, unparalleled from whatever he'd let loose from his lung before.
In the centre of a head emerged, it had seven eyes. Each a pale shade of white with a vicious red pupil in the middle. It's mouth - far larger than any gate, inside the gaping maw was a jungle of blackened sharp ivory teeth, too numerous to count and too fierce to watch.
A wicked laugh emerged from its lips, "Haha! A tasty meal, how long has it been?" The scaled fish-thing chuckled, it's voice kindly sinister, gnashing its teeth all the while.
"Oh my god?! Holy heavens, please my creator, anything that lasts for all eternity, I beseech you! SAVE ME!"
As he screamed and the Serpent's smiling head rose out of the pond, revealing its giant tree-like body which seven men couldn't connect hands around!
"Don't worry, child. You'll soon join those that are within me!" the faced Serpent laughed again, as it increased its speed. As if this was just a gentle warm-up to the prelude.
Bang!
"Damn you Heavens!" Yang Fu let loose a blood curtailing scream, the colossal cube, now the size of a carriage had slammed into his back!
He hit the back of his head against a segment, now red from the bash. His arms and legs pinned down by the air pressure.
In just a moment, Yang Fu closed his eyes, but the light of the garden began to vanish as the Serpent swallowed him whole, along with the cube.
His hands rigid and robust between the gaps of the giant multi-coloured cube, like iron they clamped down his fear-induced petrified body hung there; rigid and unmoving.
"Okay…. Breathe." He mumbled to himself, his eyes began to open as the humid air of the beast's belly filled his lungs.
The taste of a vicious acid-filled his nostrils, his stomach turn.
As light once again crept into his pupils, he looked around. Complete darkness consumed his vision, nothing, no light. An impenetrable fortress of night.
"Sun God's Eyes." A whisper emerged from his lips.
His eyes lit up like a cat's in the deep of night.
As he looked about the place, he saw a circular fleshy tunnel surrounding him, the entirety of it wet and filled with a thick goo like substance… "Is… is that mucus?"
He felt his stomach turn once again, barely keeping down his breakfast.
The giant cube from which he hung was wedged between the two sides of the fleshy wall. "Oh; thank the heavens." He took a deep sigh, the muscles in his back started to relax.
He hung there for seven minutes, regaining what little composure he had left. His muscles didn't ache, his hands still firm like stone; a Coloured Star Cultivator could keep up this positioning for days, if not weeks.
"Maybe I can climb out?" His brow started to sweat with nerves, he swung back and forth; pivoting his legs in the air.
Stretching out with his left hand, he swung like a lemur in a tree, grabbing hold of another gap.
Wuuuuz!
As he leapt, grabbing the next gap, he moved forward; but also knocked one of the blocks forwards. The cube once again grew! It was at least 50 one-foot by one-foot blocks across!
"Hu."
A creeping suspicion entered Yang Fu's mind.
He hit one of the foot-long blocks again trying to move it.
Wuuuuz!
It grew by another block on all sides!
A devious smile adorned Yang Fu's face…
"Hahaha! How could I be so stupid?! No-one is smart enough to solve that thing! It must be a weapon!"
With much haste and confidence, he started repeatedly turning the cube of mystery over and over again, each colour frequently flying past him as he continuously hit at it!
Quickly the size of the cube swelled and swelled adding more and more blocks; the corners and edges of the mighty cube pushing against the great Serpent's insides!
Slowly but surely, the walls of the colossal creature started to bleed, drips and drops of blood began to leak as the under skin ruptured!
Oozing ever downwards the golden blood dripped onto Yang Fu, bathing him in it's burning fury!
As it started to hit its skin, it was automatically absorbed! The gold spet into his pores as cloudy steam like vapour began to effervesce from his wrists, the crimson colour of his very own Yang Blood.
"What the hell?!"
Yang Fu felt woozy but strong. He couldn't slow down though, he had to push forward. He had to be strong! Decisive! To not give up!
"Ugggggggggrrrh!" A visceral and vicious raw released from the scaled lips of the Serpent! Its voice echoed throughout the heavens and shook the garden to its very core!
