Unexpected Surprise, External Soul Bone Golden Eagle Wings, Forging the Hell Road

"Whoa, it's actually an External Soul Bone!" Ye Wen said with a bit of surprise, quickly stepping forward to examine it.

"Master, this is the Golden Eagle Wings, a Ten Thousand Year External Soul Bone shed from the Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, the Golden Jade Winged Emperor Eagle. A human Soul Master brought this External Soul Bone into Slaughter City decades ago."

"He died on the stage in the Hell Slaughter Arena, so this External Soul Bone became mine."

"But it possesses the extreme light attribute, which is incompatible with my bloodline, so I've kept it sealed and never absorbed it."

"Upon learning that Master can transform into human form, I thought of giving it to you. It will surely greatly boost Master's strength in your human form," the Slaughter King said.

"I didn't expect there to be such a treasure in Slaughter City." Ye Wen was very pleased. He reached out and touched the Golden Eagle Wings, very satisfied. "Then I'll accept it. Thank you for the gift. I'm leaving now."

"Master, you're too kind!"

With that, Ye Wen turned and left. Watching Ye Wen's retreating back, the Slaughter King said with immense respect, "Your subordinate bids farewell to Master!"

Upon returning, Ye Wen took out the External Soul Bone again and smiled, "Golden Eagle Wings, heh heh. I really didn't expect this trip to Slaughter City to be quite fruitful."

"Come on! Let me see what power you can bring me!"

Ye Wen absorbed it without hesitation.

External Soul Bones are rarer than Soul Bones and have an even lower drop rate. Their true power lies in the fact that External Soul Bones can grow stronger as the Soul Master's strength increases.

For example, if Ye Wen reaches God-tier, the External Soul Bone will also become God-tier, reaching the level of a divine artifact.

They are absolutely rare and precious existences, with only a handful of people on the entire continent possessing External Soul Bones.

Half an hour later, Ye Wen finished absorbing it. A pair of enormous golden wings slowly grew from his flesh, each two meters long, totaling four meters in length, radiating a brilliant golden light behind him.

Very imposing!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Ye Wen flapped his wings a couple of times and took to the air.

"Not bad. Besides granting flight capabilities and enhancing physical strength, these Golden Eagle Wings also possess a burning effect, incredibly strong physical injury recovery capabilities, and a certain soul power recovery effect!"

Ye Wen was pleasantly surprised. He retracted the External Soul Bone and landed steadily.

He clenched his fist slightly, feeling the power of his human form. "Although my Soul Power is only level 17 in my human form, with my combat ability, plus the Million Year Soul Bone, and this External Soul Bone, I can kill ordinary Soul Ancestors!"

"Heh heh, after a night's rest, it's time to leave Slaughter City tomorrow." Ye Wen smiled and lay down on the bed.

The next day.

In the Hell Slaughter Arena, Ye Wen's final match had begun.

"Die!!"

Squelch!

On the stage, Ye Wen crushed the last opponent's neck with one claw. He had finally achieved a hundred consecutive victories.

Afterward, Evil Tiger and Xiao Bai also took to the stage and won their final matches.

The three of them took only a month and a half to qualify for the Hell Road, becoming the fastest in history.

At this moment, the Slaughter King appeared. He flapped his bat-like wings and hovered above the arena.

"Today, three more powerhouses with a hundred consecutive victories have been born in the Slaughter Arena!"

"Their immense strength and terrifying killing intent make you tremble, don't they?" the Slaughter King's voice boomed.

"Yes!"

"Yes!!"

The fallen spectators in the stands excitedly waved their fists, repeatedly responding with "yes."

However, these foolish beings didn't know that they were about to become sacrifices for Ye Wen, Evil Tiger, and Xiao Bai to open the gates of the Hell Road.

"Now, I will open the entrance to the Hell Road for them!"

"Hell Road!"

"Hell Road!"

"Hell Road!"

The surrounding fallen beings were completely ignited, cheering excitedly. Apart from the God of Slaughter, no one had ever seen the Hell Road open!

But they didn't know, because everyone who had seen it was dead.

"Hah!"

Terrifying red malevolent energy erupted from the Slaughter King. This energy suddenly began to ravenously devour the flesh and blood of the fallen beings.

"What's happening... Why is the Slaughter King killing us..."

"Run... Run!"

"No! Don't! Slaughter King!"

"Ahhhhhh!"

The excited cheers turned into screams as the surrounding fallen beings began to die rapidly. Their energy, blood, and killing intent were all absorbed onto the circular platform of the arena.

"It is their honor to become the ultimate offerings to open the Hell Road!"

On the stage of the Hell Slaughter Arena, a strong red light began to flicker. Soon, the circular platform on the ground disappeared, and a huge passage opened up below.

Countless killing intents surrounded them, as if numerous ghostly hands were pulling Ye Wen, Evil Tiger, and Xiao Bai into it.

When their vision cleared again, the three of them had arrived at the Hell Road.

The killing intent here was even more immense than above!

"This is the Hell Road?"

Ye Wen surveyed the surroundings, as if they were in a giant cave.

There were ancient buildings and interconnected road stones, and below was the source of Slaughter City's energy, boiling like magma.

If they fell in, even existences like Xiao Bai and Evil Tiger might die.

"Heh, let's go." Ye Wen smiled, thinking it would be too easy for them to pass the Hell Road with their strength!

"Yes! Boss!"

"Let's go!"

The three of them quickly sprinted towards the end of the Hell Road.

Soon, a large swarm of red bats attacked.

"Magic Shark Fang!"

Bang!

Xiao Bai destroyed all the blood bats with a single strike.

"Well done, Xiao Bai!"

The three of them continued forward, killing as many as came, unstoppable.

Finally, an unusual bat appeared ahead. It was very large and had three heads!

It was the Three-Headed Bat King!

"Roar!!"

The Bat King roared and charged forward madly, looking terrifying.

"Heh, the strongest of your bat clan, the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King, is my subordinate. How dare you, a mere Three-Headed Bat, block me!"

"You're seeking death!"

Ye Wen directly threw a punch at it.

Splat!

The Three-Headed Bat King's body instantly exploded on the spot.

The three of them were soon close to exiting the Hell Road.

Xiao Bai felt a bit bored and said, "Boss, this Hell Road isn't that difficult to pass. With this level, fewer than ten people have passed it in a thousand years?"

"These we're fighting now are just appetizers. The truly difficult part of the Hell Road is a strange beast called the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent."

"Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent?"

"Indeed. Without the ability to use Soul Skills, it can be said that ninety percent of Soul Masters would find it very difficult to escape its threat."

As soon as Ye Wen finished speaking, the magma below began to boil.

"It's here!"
