The entrance to Hell Road was in the Hell Slaughter Arena. The blood and souls of everyone who died there would be devoured by Hell Road.
One important reason Tang San had come to Slaughter City was to obtain the Divine Slaughter's Domain here. Only after obtaining it could he later inherit the position of Asura God.
"Let's go."
Over these two years, he had accumulated almost everything he needed. Tang San was already confident enough to pass Hell Road's trial together with Hu Liena.
The instant his words fell, the two arrived at the Hell Slaughter Arena, secured their final victories to reach a hundred wins, and drew out the King of Slaughter.
When the King of Slaughter appeared, the entire Hell Slaughter Arena sank into a frenzied atmosphere.
"King of Slaughter! King of Slaughter!"
The fallen shouted themselves hoarse, yet showed no intention of stopping.
Amid the eerie scene, the King of Slaughter came before Tang San and Hu Liena.
"I am delighted to witness the birth of two new mighty warriors in the Hell Slaughter Arena today. It has been a very, very long time since anyone achieved a hundred victories here. Who would have thought it would happen today, and with two at once?"
"You are both so young, yet possess such pure killing intent. How rare. Even my subjects cannot help trembling, isn't that right?"
As his words rang out around them, the frenzied fallen responded one after another.
"That's right!"
"Yes!!"
A trace of madness flashed through the King of Slaughter's eyes before he looked at Tang San and Hu Liena.
"Demon God, Witch, you have made me feel the passion of the Hell Slaughter Arena for the first time in ages. Thus, I have decided to make an exception and grant you both the title of God of Slaughter without requiring you to enter Hell Road. From this day forward, you may enter Slaughter City freely and become my honored guests."
Hearing this, Hu Liena raised an eyebrow and looked at Tang San with some confusion.
Naturally, Tang San would not agree. Without taking Hell Road, he could not obtain the domain. Wouldn't that mean he had come for nothing?
"Thank you for your kindness, but we came here for slaughter."
Hearing him say this, the King of Slaughter fell silent for a moment before saying, "Very well... since you insist, I will say no more. If you successfully make it out, please give that God of Slaughter my regards."
As he spoke, thick red mist abruptly erupted from the King of Slaughter's body, instantly enveloping the entire Hell Slaughter Arena.
Shrouded in the red mist, the previously frenzied fallen gradually quieted down, then began clawing eerily at their own faces and bodies, not stopping even as they breathed their last.
"It is your honor to become sacrifices for Hell Road."
The King of Slaughter snorted coldly. As these fallen died, the blood flowing from them began gathering in the center of the arena, forming an enormous blood-red pattern.
It was the shape of a bat.
At the same time, Tang San and Hu Liena both felt a wave of dizziness. When they recovered, they found themselves on a circular platform.
Connected to the platform was only a slender path just wide enough for two feet to stand on.
"Is this Hell Road?"
Hu Liena murmured, her eyes already somewhat red.
Hearing this, Tang San nodded, affirming her words.
"That's right. Below us should be the blood of the fallen accumulated over countless years. It's also the core of Slaughter City."
Hu Liena looked hesitantly at the path ahead and removed her excess clothing, revealing her lovely figure in full. As expected of a woman whose Martial Soul was a Bewitching Fox, that expanse of snowy white stood out sharply against the dark red of Hell Road.
"Shall we start, then?"
"I'll go in front."
Tang San shook his head, declining her kindness, and scooped Hu Liena up. Hu Liena wrapped herself around him like an octopus, her long, fair legs crossing behind Tang San's back and securing them firmly together.
"Hold tight. Don't fall. Who knows what's down there?"
After saying this, Tang San began walking forward.
After several thousand steps, a sudden change occurred. Over a thousand Blood Bats abruptly appeared, beating their wings together and whipping up a blood-reeking gale that made their bodies sway unsteadily.
Hu Liena bumped against Tang San, her entire face flushed red, her gaze almost replaced by a red glow.
"Put me down. Let's kill these Blood Bats first."
However, Tang San paid these Blood Bats no heed at all. A blue gleam suddenly appeared, enveloping the space around him.
Blue Silver Domain!
After his Martial Soul Awakening, he had already mastered this powerful domain. Relying on it, Tang San easily carved his way out through the Blood Bats.
Even while carrying someone, Tang San still managed to kill the Dark-Gold Three-Headed Bat with a little effort.
After they traveled for another while, a rustling sound suddenly came from ahead. Tang San put Hu Liena down and turned around.
"Be careful."
"Is that... a snake?"
Hu Liena turned to look and discovered a strange snake with nine protrusions, each resembling a blood-red mushroom, with what seemed like blood flowing inside.
The strange snake coiled around the only path beneath their feet and gradually approached. Just as it drew near, it abruptly opened its two mouths and spat out a vast cloud of poisonous mist.
Tang San was prepared. He took out the realgar he had readied earlier and threw it forward. At the same time, a pitch-black little hammer appeared in his hand.
Clear Sky Hammer!
Gripping the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang San leaped up, his body spinning continuously as he hammered the strange snake again and again, each strike more powerful than the last.
Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer!
Bang!
Before Hu Liena could act, the strange snake shattered section by section, turning to powder. A golden-red gleam descended from above and landed in Tang San's hand, and he put it away.
"I finally got it."
Having obtained the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent's inner core, Tang San exhaled a breath of stale air and pulled Hu Liena hard against his chest.
"Hold on tight. I'm going to speed up now."
Hu Liena immediately did as he said, clinging tightly to Tang San.
Just as she tightened her hold, eight menacing spider legs appeared on Tang San's back. Now that he had obtained the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent's inner core, he could leave this place quickly.
With the Eight Spider Lances carrying him along, his speed increased by far more than a little, and he soon spotted the exit.
As soon as he reached the exit, Tang San slumped to the ground. Even though he had consumed four kinds of Immortal Herb and made many preparations beforehand, actually making this journey was still far from pleasant.
At some unknown point, a faint white pattern had also appeared on the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang San's hand.
Seeing this pattern, Tang San knew he had succeeded. He had successfully obtained the Divine Slaughter's Domain!
Hu Liena dressed, closed her eyes, and felt the changes in her body with wonder.
"So this is the Divine Slaughter's Domain... interesting. I was practically just an accessory, yet I still got it. The way this domain appears really is strange."
"I wonder who will be the next to obtain the Divine Slaughter's Domain."
Hearing this, Tang San stood and left with Hu Liena, leaving behind a casual remark.
"There won't be a Slaughter City anymore."
Just as he walked out of Hell Road, he had cast down the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss, just like the Great God King Tang before him. Slaughter City would probably be destroyed before long.
The Shrek Seven Monsters had already been reborn, and all of them knew about Slaughter City. Tang San would not invite trouble for himself.
As for those fallen Evil Soul Masters, once Tang San took control of Spirit Hall, he would have plenty of time and effort to deal with them one by one.
