Path to Hell Opens

"Nightingale, have you mastered the Soul Power Cultivation Method I taught you?"

Holding Nightingale in his arms, Mu Ge asked her.

The Soul Power Cultivation Method Mu Ge had always wanted was finally successfully developed half a year ago.

However, when it was first developed, its Soul Power cultivation speed was still slower than meditation methods.

By now, Mu Ge had refined the Soul Power Cultivation Method hundreds of times. Its effectiveness was now fifty percent greater than that of Soul Power meditation methods—1.5 times as effective. It had taken preliminary shape, and if released outside, it would undoubtedly become a secret technique others coveted.

Mu Ge had only taught it to Nightingale a week earlier.

No matter what, Nightingale had served him for two years. Though she was not yet utterly devoted to him, she was very obedient.

Mu Ge intended to place her in Slaughter City, preparing for his future return.

His current strength was insufficient, so he did not dare make a move against the Slaughter King. But once he was strong enough, Mu Ge would definitely deal with the Slaughter King.

He had not forgotten the inheritance of the Asura God.

In the Douluo world, the Asura God's inheritance was undoubtedly the strongest, because the Asura God was a God King.

The Angel God, Rakshasa God, and Sea God were merely first-class gods.

Even if he could not inherit the Asura God's legacy by then, Mu Ge would not let anyone else have it.

"Mhm, I've already learned it!"

"Master, the Soul Power Cultivation Method you gave me is truly too powerful!"

Hearing Mu Ge's question, Nightingale, who was lying atop him, hurriedly replied excitedly.

Clearly, the Soul Power Cultivation Method Mu Ge had given her had pleasantly surprised her.

She had never imagined that Mu Ge possessed such a powerful Soul Power Cultivation Method—and that he was willing to teach it to her.

Once again, Nightingale felt that choosing Mu Ge back then had been the right decision.

Over the past two years or so, she had come to know Mu Ge. Compared with the other Fallen Ones here, she felt that he was not only stronger, but also lacked their other vile habits. Aside from killing people in the Hell Slaughter Arena, he did not kill indiscriminately.

Mu Ge's powerful strength and talent made her admire him greatly. Coupled with the fact that Mu Ge had always treated her well, Nightingale acknowledged him as her master.

The reason she acknowledged Mu Ge as her master was also because Nightingale knew that Mu Ge only liked her body and did not love her.

In a place like Slaughter City, she did not dare hope for love. Especially given the vast disparity in status between herself and Mu Ge—Mu Ge had already become the Hell Slaughter Arena's champion, while she was merely a lowly Slaughter Maid who served Fallen Ones. Being liked by Mu Ge already made her very happy.

"Cultivate well here. I will definitely return to Slaughter City."

Mu Ge nodded and instructed Nightingale.

"Yes, Master!"

Hearing Mu Ge confirm once more that he would return someday, Nightingale replied happily.

She had originally thought that once Mu Ge left Slaughter City, he would never come back.

After comforting Nightingale, Mu Ge went to find Bibi Dong again.

After leaving, Bibi Dong would return to Spirit Hall. Outside, he would no longer be able to have Bibi Dong whenever he wanted. It was even uncertain whether Bibi Dong would still be willing to give herself to him after they left. In Slaughter City, Bibi Dong had no way to resist Mu Ge, but outside, things would be different.

So while there was still time, Mu Ge continued to claim Bibi Dong to his heart's content.

It could not be helped. When it came to Bibi Dong, Mu Ge never grew tired of her.

"Congratulations to contestant Number 6364, the Slaughter Saintess, for achieving one hundred consecutive victories and becoming the new generation's champion of the Hell Slaughter Arena!"

Several days later, Bibi Dong also achieved one hundred consecutive victories as she had wished.

Boom—

After Bibi Dong's victory, the Slaughter King appeared once again.

"Hell Messenger, Slaughter Saintess, have you decided to open the Path to Hell?"

After appearing, the Slaughter King did not continue trying to persuade Mu Ge or Bibi Dong to join Slaughter City. He directly asked them instead.

"Yes. We want to form a team and open the Path to Hell!"

Upon hearing the Slaughter King's words, Mu Ge flashed into the Hell Slaughter Arena and looked up at the Slaughter King as he answered.

"That's right!"

Bibi Dong also looked at the Slaughter King and confirmed it resolutely.

Mu Ge was unwilling to remain in Slaughter City, and she was even less willing to stay.

She still had to leave and take revenge on Qian Xunji. Moreover, only after leaving would she be able to defeat Mu Ge and seek revenge against him!

However, she still intended to make use of Mu Ge, so she did not plan to kill him the moment they got outside.

"It's opening!"

"The legendary Path to Hell is finally opening!"

"I wonder how it's opened. Being able to witness this scene is already worth it!"

"What do you think? Can the Hell Messenger and the Slaughter Saintess make it through the Path to Hell?"

"They definitely can. If even those two can't pass, then who could possibly leave Slaughter City?"

"That's true..."

"..."

There were still a great many spectators this time.

They all knew that today was the day the Path to Hell would open, and they wanted to witness it with their own eyes.

Unfortunately, they did not know the price they would have to pay to witness it.

"Since that is the case, I hope you can successfully pass through the Path to Hell."

Hearing Mu Ge and Bibi Dong's answers, the Slaughter King spoke expressionlessly. Then, with a wave of his hand, the entire Hell Slaughter Arena began to tremble slightly.

The energy in the surroundings churned violently.

Then, an enormous suction force erupted from the Hell Slaughter Arena, as though it intended to devour everything around it.

Yet Mu Ge and Bibi Dong, who stood within the Hell Slaughter Arena, did not feel the suction affecting them at all.

The others were different. The Fallen Ones in the audience quickly noticed something was wrong!

"What's happening?"

"Why is the Soul Power in my body draining away?"

"Yeah, mine too! What's going on?"

"Could opening the Path to Hell require using us as sacrifices?"

"..."

The Fallen Ones who noticed something was wrong drastically changed expression. They turned and tried to flee, no longer curious about how the Path to Hell was opened.

"Only thinking of leaving now? Too late!"

"Being sacrificed to open the Path to Hell is your honor!"

Seeing those people attempt to flee, the Slaughter King sneered.

Bzz—

Then, the Slaughter King clenched both hands toward those people through the air. An even greater suction force erupted, and visibly, the Soul Power within the fleeing Fallen Ones was forcibly pulled out.

"Ah..."

"No..."

Amid the Fallen Ones' screams, their Soul Power was pulled from them at first. Soon after, their entire bodies were torn apart and dissolved into energy.

Boom—

After all the Fallen Ones had been sacrificed, the Hell Slaughter Arena beneath Mu Ge and Bibi Dong's feet suddenly split apart.

Bibi Dong, who was prepared, and Bibi Dong, who was unprepared, fell straight down.
