Chapter Summaries

• Mo Lin released his overwhelming killing intent, startling Tang Chen and making the Asura Demon Sword tremble.

After Mo Lin and Hu Liena won one hundred Hell Slaughter Arena matches, they were granted entry to Hell Road, but Mo Lin discovered that the Slaughter King was a corpse controlled by someone unknown. As Hu Liena woke on a platform beneath the arena, Mo Lin was nowhere to be seen.

• Mo Lin and Hu Liena completed one hundred arena victories, and Mo Lin noticed that the Slaughter King Tang Chen appeared to be dead.
• The Slaughter King announced that Mo Lin and Hu Liena could challenge Hell Road, then used the spectators' blood to open the path.
• The red light knocked Hu Liena unconscious, but Mo Lin stayed awake and carried her to a platform beneath the arena.
• Mo Lin calmed Hu Liena with the Purifying Mind Mantra and suspected the blood pool contained fire poison his left-leg soul bone could absorb.
• Mo Lin stripped off his clothes and dove into the blood pool, and Hu Liena later woke to find only his clothes on the platform.

Hu Liena woke on the Hell Road platform and realized Mo Lin was absorbing the blood pool’s poison below. As Mo Lin’s torment by the pool’s lingering souls pushed him past his limit, his killing intent became visible and swept across the platform, leaving Hu Liena to recognize how far his power had surpassed hers.

• Hu Liena searched the platform for Mo Lin and noticed his clothes, Soul Tools, and the powerful vortex churning in the blood pool below.
• Hu Liena deduced that Mo Lin had entered the pool to absorb its fire poison and moved to avoid seeing him naked when he emerged.
• Mo Lin endured the poison’s heat and the lingering souls’ attacks as his left leg soul bone neared the one-hundred-thousand-year level.
• Mo Lin’s frustration erupted into tangible scarlet killing intent that spread from the blood pool’s vortex.
• Hu Liena was cut across the cheek by the killing intent and retreated to the platform’s center, realizing Mo Lin’s killing intent far exceeded her own.

Mo Lin emerged from the blood pool after strengthening his left leg soul bone, only to discover Hu Liena had fallen in when the platform collapsed. After they reunited and continued along Hell Road, Mo Lin sent a Scout Flying Bug ahead and detected bats waiting in the darkness.

• Hu Liena’s tail caught the platform as the killing intent reversed, but the platform and nearby path broke apart and fell into the blood pool.
• Mo Lin emerged from the pool with a newly strengthened Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone and rescued Hu Liena from the water.
• Hu Liena scolded Mo Lin for the damage caused by his killing intent, then returned his bracelets and asked him to find a place where she could stand.
• Mo Lin dressed, tied a Golden Light Incantation rope around Hu Liena, and led her along Hell Road on foot.
• Mo Lin sent a Scout Flying Bug ahead, but it lost its signal after roughly three hundred meters, indicating bats had attacked it.

Mo Lin used the Soul-Shaking Bell and Golden Light Incantation to drive back the blood bats as he and Hu Liena crossed the narrow path. The Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King attacked, but Mo Lin pierced its abdomen with a hidden golden-light trap.

• Mo Lin spotted a swarm of blood bats ahead and told Hu Liena to trust him as he prepared the Soul-Shaking Bell.
• Mo Lin used the Soul-Shaking Bell to knock dozens of blood bats into the blood pool, then pierced many more with spikes formed from his Golden Light Incantation.
• Mo Lin led Hu Liena onward while the surviving bats kept their distance, and Hu Liena wondered why he had held her close and continued holding her hand.
• The blood bats cried out to awaken their leader, and the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King swooped toward Mo Lin and Hu Liena.
• Mo Lin's concealed golden-light trap pierced the Bat King's abdomen, and he unleashed the Golden Light Incantation across a twenty-meter radius.

Mo Lin killed the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King and cleared the first trial of Hell Road with Hu Liena. They continued onward and confronted the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent, whose heat Mo Lin absorbed with Yin Five Thunders as he bound it.

• Mo Lin pierced the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King with the Golden Light Incantation, then used the Soul-Shaking Bell to kill its scattered bats.
• Mo Lin and Hu Liena fought off the remaining blood bats and passed the first trial of Hell Road without resting.

• Mo Lin used Northern Border Azure Pool to bind the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent, absorbing the heat it released to resist.

Mo Lin killed the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent before it could self-destruct and collected its valuable inner cores. He and Hu Liena then continued through the cavern, but a roar interrupted their flight across the blood lake.

• The Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent tried to escape Mo Lin’s Yin Five Thunders, then began charging its nine back tumors to explode.
• Hu Liena sensed the serpent’s head, and Mo Lin used Palm Thunder to pierce its brain and stop it.

• A sudden roar interrupted Mo Lin and Hu Liena as they crossed the lake.

Mo Lin fought a newly awakened flood dragon during the strengthened third trial of Hell Road after his earlier actions let it survive. He struck back with a hidden move, leaving the battle unresolved as a ball of white flame descended toward the dragon.

• A flood dragon leaped from the lake of blood, and Mo Lin hurled Hu Liena into the exit before escaping its jaws.
• Mo Lin identified the dragon as water-attributed and realized that absorbing the lake’s fire poison had awakened it.
• The dragon attacked with frigid air and ice spikes, forcing Mo Lin to learn aerial evasive maneuvers while defending himself with the Golden Light Incantation.
• Mo Lin charged through a barrage of ice spikes and struck the dragon with Palm Thunder and Dragon Claw Hand, but neither attack pierced its scales.
• Mo Lin smiled as a ball of white flame descended toward the flood dragon’s head.

Mo Lin tried to kill the flood dragon with his soul-burning white flames, but his own impaired thoughts let the beast escape the attack and trap him in ice. Hu Liena emerged from Hell Road with Divine Slaughter's Domain, learned the cave would not let her return, and waited outside after hearing Mo Lin was still alive.

• Mo Lin used the white flames on his Soul Shadow Dragon Wings, whose effect slowed his thoughts and weakened his memory, to ambush the flood dragon.
• The flood dragon sensed the attack, dove into the blood lake, froze the exit, and knocked Mo Lin into the lake after encasing him in ice.
• Hu Liena awoke outside the exit with Divine Slaughter's Domain and tried to enter the cave, but Slaughter City's restriction repelled and injured her.
• A voice from the cave warned Hu Liena not to provoke Slaughter City and threatened to make Hell Road harder, leading her to realize Mo Lin was still alive.
• Hu Liena sat outside the cave and watched for Mo Lin, unable to do anything else without risking further trouble.

Mo Lin used the blood lake’s fire poison to unleash his evolved Soul-Chasing Blood Dragon and kill the wyrm, though the battle left him gravely wounded. He found the wyrm’s freezing inner core to stop his bleeding and started toward the exit, where a mysterious person praised him.

• The wyrm pinned Mo Lin with an ice spike, but Mo Lin withdrew his External Soul Bone and plunged into the blood lake.
• Mo Lin used Snow Swan Kiss to amplify the lake’s fire poison, absorbed it with Devouring Poison, and prepared Soul-Chasing Blood Dragon.
• Mo Lin’s blood-dragon attack slammed the wyrm into the ceiling and killed it, while Hu Liena felt the cave shake outside.
• Mo Lin found the wyrm’s inner core and used its cold to seal his wounds before heading for the exit.
• A mysterious person told Mo Lin that he was splendid and that they had not misjudged him.

Mo Lin met the newly self-aware Asura Demon Sword, which explained that his killing intent had awakened it and made him its preferred successor. Mo Lin said he could not begin the inheritance trials until after taking revenge, and the sword stabbed toward his abdomen to give him a “deposit.”

• Mo Lin recognized the voice controlling Tang Chen's corpse, and the Asura Demon Sword revealed itself.
• Mo Lin exposed the sword's clumsy impersonation of the Slaughter King and realized it had only just gained self-awareness.
• The Asura Demon Sword explained that Mo Lin's killing intent had awakened it, prompting it to kill Tang Chen and absorb his soul and life energy.
• The sword told Mo Lin it wanted him to inherit the Asura God's divine position, but Mo Lin said he first had to take revenge.
• The Asura Demon Sword moved closer and stabbed toward Mo Lin's abdomen, calling the attack a deposit.

Mo Lin discovered that he had three souls and reasoned that the Asura Demon Sword wanted him to awaken another martial soul because Primordial Qi rejected the Asura God's mark. He persuaded the sword to fuse with one of his souls, and it began merging with him while suppressing its immense killing intent.

• The Asura Demon Sword found three souls within Mo Lin and explained that another soul might awaken a second martial soul he could use.
• Mo Lin suggested fusing the Asura Demon Sword with one of his souls after realizing it could not mark his Primordial Qi or dominant soul.
• The Asura Demon Sword agreed to the fusion, and Mo Lin sat down to begin while reminding it that people were waiting outside.
• The Asura Demon Sword transformed into pure energy and started fusing with Mo Lin, containing its killing intent to protect his sanity.

Mo Lin awakened the Non-Aggression martial soul through its fusion with the Asura Demon Sword and gained a powerful Slaughter Domain. He found Hu Liena badly injured outside, learned the Asura God's restriction had hurt her, and treated her before carrying her away.

• The Asura Demon Sword fused with Mo Lin's original soul and awakened his Non-Aggression martial soul, whose independent Soul Power could not merge with his other Soul Power.
• Mo Lin summoned Non-Aggression and discovered that its crimson domain let him perceive Slaughter City and control its Slaughter Domain.
• The Asura Demon Sword urged Mo Lin to leave, and he found Hu Liena barely alive outside the ice.
• Mo Lin used Double Full Hands and steel needles to treat Hu Liena's internal injuries and stabilize her Soul Power.
• Mo Lin picked Hu Liena up and warned the Asura Demon Sword to tell him directly if another problem arose.

After a year away, Mo Lin returned from Hell Road with Hu Liena and told Mo Jia about Spirit Hall’s internal divisions and Clear Sky Sect’s exposed hiding place. He revealed that he had awakened the Mo Family’s inherited martial soul, Non-Aggression, and proposed heading to the Star Dou Great Forest to show Mo Jia his other unexpected gain.

• Mo Lin arrived at the mountain’s foot carrying an exhausted Hu Liena, and Mo Jia noticed how much he had changed during the past year.
• On the way back, Mo Jia told Mo Lin that Clear Sky Sect remained openly hostile and that his master had won over many lower-ranked elders but had not gained control of Spirit Hall’s strongest elders.
• Mo Lin showed Mo Jia his black-and-red Non-Aggression, which startled Mo Jia because it matched the Mo Family’s inherited martial soul.
• Mo Lin said his trip to Slaughter City had given him another unexpected gain and suggested they travel directly to the Star Dou Great Forest to see it.
