As we all know, after entering the Slaughter City, Tang San quickly adapted to the environment and then challenged the Hell Slaughter Arena. Within two years, he won a hundred battles before entering the Hell Road.
How was he able to do all that?
That's because Tang San is incredibly strong, possessing the Clear Sky Hammer, the number one Tool Martial Soul on the continent. In the Slaughter Arena where Soul Skill cannot be used, the Clear Sky Hammer's weight provides a significant advantage.
At the same time, he possesses the unique Tang Sect Secret Arts, such as the Mysterious Heaven Skill, the Purple Demon Eye, and the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, which give him an advantage in battle. He also has various Hidden Weapon that can attack his opponents unexpectedly.
Furthermore, Tang Hao secretly protected him, relieving him of any deadly threats from outside the Slaughter Arena. With these advantages, Tang San ultimately achieved a hundred-game winning streak, qualifying to challenge the Hell Road, and successfully passed the challenge, obtaining the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
To put it more bluntly, the people in the Hell Slaughter Arena can't beat Tang San.
If you want to cause trouble for Tang San, it's simple: just increase the strength of Tang San's opponent.
Make his victory less easy, and he might even get injured.
As for how to improve the strength of opponents, it's quite simple: teach them Martial Dao. After Slaughter City, Martial Dao are not suppressed by the rules of heaven and earth, allowing them to unleash their full potential.
However, Martial Dao cultivation requires a gradual approach and it is impossible to reach a high level all at once. Therefore, if we want to quickly cultivate a strong person who can fight Tang San, we can only let them cultivate demonic arts.
So-called demonic arts usually refer to techniques that violate conventional ethics, employ extreme methods of cultivation, and come at a heavy price, but can bring immense power.
Before coming here, Yu Tianheng had already found a magic skill book in the System Shop.
The Blood Demon Skill is a Heaven-level demonic art with "plundering life force and nourishing oneself with blood" as its core. Cultivators can absorb the essence of living beings and transform it into their own cultivation. The technique is domineering and unparalleled, and progress is extremely fast, but it is also accompanied by extremely strong backlash and inner demon troubles.
Core Feature, Blood Essence Plunder: Cultivators can directly absorb the blood essence from living beings, whether it is the blood of Soul Beast or the Bloodline Power of humans, all of which can be transformed into their own " Blood Essence Energy ". The more Blood Essence Energy accumulated, the faster the cultivation will improve, and it may even be possible to break through the realm barrier in a short period of time.
The wondrous uses of Blood Essence Energy: Blood Essence Energy can not only enhance cultivation, but also condense into "blood qi" to protect the body, or transform into "blood blades" to attack enemies, with its power increasing with the concentration of Blood Essence Energy.
At higher levels, one can even use their own essence and blood as a guide to briefly borrow the innate talents of the beings contained within the absorbed essence and blood.
Backlash and Cost
Inner demons arise: Each time you absorb essence and blood, you become tainted with the resentment and obsession of living beings. If your will is not firm, you are easily devoured by inner demons, becoming bloodthirsty and eventually turning into a monster that only knows how to suck blood.
Backlash from essence and blood: If the essence and blood absorbed are mixed, such as simultaneously consuming the blood of multiple beings with different attributes, it may cause disorder of the Blood Essence Energy in the body and rupture of the meridians; if the essence and blood of beings whose strength far exceeds one's own is absorbed, one will be backlashed by their source power and die directly from the explosion of the body.
Yu Tianheng exchanged it for a certain amount of Heavenly Mandate Points.
The reason for choosing this demonic art is quite simple: in this Slaughter City, killing is not prohibited. Anyone with the strength can kill whomever they want, and they can openly absorb the essence of the target's blood. After all, even Bloody Mary can drink it, let alone something like this.
Yu Tianheng led A Chen toward a secluded alley.
The last rays of the setting sun barely penetrated the squalid air of the outer city of the Slaughter City, casting a few crooked shadows in the narrow alley. The mottled walls on both sides were stained with indescribable grime, and the air was filled with a strange smell of rust and blood, making A Chen hold his breath, his palms already soaked with cold sweat.
"M-Master... where are you taking me?" A Chen's voice trembled almost imperceptibly. He clutched the hem of his clothes tightly, his eyes filled with fear of the unknown.
Ever since he decided to follow Yu Tianheng, he had never felt at ease. At this moment, his legs felt like lead, and he almost lost the courage to even look up at his surroundings.
Yu Tianheng stood with his back to him deep in the alley, the hem of his black robe swaying gently in the breeze. He slowly turned around, a cold glint flashing in his eyes in the dim light, his tone flat and emotionless. "To become stronger, you must pay the price."
Are you ready?
A Chen suddenly looked up, a glimmer of hope mixed with unease in his eyes. "Then... how exactly will you give me the power you spoke of?" He didn't know if Yu Tianheng was lying to him, but he had no choice. Surviving in this Slaughter City was far too difficult; without power, he would die soon.
Rather than doing that, we might as well take a gamble.
Yu Tianheng didn't say much, but slowly raised his right hand, his index finger slightly bent. An invisible pressure suddenly enveloped A Chen. Before he could react, he felt a large amount of complex and cold information suddenly flooding into his mind.
That was the operational route of a cultivation technique, every word of which seemed to carry a chilling aura. The cultivation method it contained was even more terrifying: using one's own blood and qi as a guide, drawing in the essence and blood of others, and after refining it, one's cultivation level could instantly surge, breaking through bottlenecks...
"This is..." A Chen's forehead was covered in sweat. The path of the cultivation technique in his mind was crystal clear, yet it was filled with a chilling aura.
"The Blood Demon Skill," Yu Tianheng withdrew his finger, his tone as calm as if he were stating something perfectly ordinary, "But it's only the first half, though enough to handle the trouble that follows. Remember, here, other people's blood is the best nourishment. When you circulate the technique, it will help you draw power from your opponent's blood. The faster you adapt, the greater your chances of survival."
"You can pass it on to others, build your own power, and become a powerful force in the Slaughter City. In exchange, you need to help me kill someone. That person will probably enter the Slaughter City in about three months. He's a man with a hammer as his Martial Soul, named Tang Yin, and he's very handsome. If you can kill him, you can come find me, and I will pass on the second half of the technique to you."
"Remember not to reveal our relationship. That's all for now. Take care of yourself!" After saying that, Yu Tianheng patted A Chen on the shoulder and then disappeared.
A Chen thought he was dreaming, but the cultivation method of the Blood Demon Skill was incredibly clear in his mind, which made him realize that it was all real, not a dream.
A Chen then began cultivating the " Blood Demon Skill," hoping to become stronger as quickly as possible and survive in this cannibalistic, blood-soaked Slaughter City.
Meanwhile, Yu Tianheng, who had left the outer city, returned to the inner city to continue participating in the Hell Slaughter Arena competition, accumulating a record of 100 consecutive victories, so that he could enter the Hell Road before Tang San and win the reward of the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
A month passed quickly, Yu Tianheng achieved his 36th consecutive victory in the Hell Slaughter Arena.
