Chapter 145 Killing God Domain
The King of Slaughter turned his gaze to the viewing platform of the Hell Slaughter Arena.
"I am deeply delighted to witness the birth of two killing arena champions today. A hundred-game winning streak, a feat unseen for decades. They have made you tremble with their unparalleled strength and chilling killing intent, haven't they, my people?"
"Yes, yes, yes," the King of Slaughter seemed to exude a unique and mysterious charm, causing all the fallen to develop an almost fanatical sense of worship upon seeing him.
The King of Slaughter lowered his head and looked at Lin Ye and Bibi Dong. "Blood Demon, Messenger of Death. I am grateful to you for bringing me another thrilling experience."
A hundred consecutive victories, excellent. To recognize your outstanding achievements, I have decided to make an exception and bestow upon you the title of "Gods of Slaughter."
From this day forward, you are all free to enter and leave the City of Slaughter. Furthermore, you have been specially appointed as guest elders of the City of Slaughter.
"No need to walk the road to hell anymore?" Bibi Dong frowned slightly, sensing that things might not be that simple.
Previously, the King of Slaughter had obstructed them in every way, but now he's suddenly become so kind?
She racked her brains but couldn't figure out what the King of Slaughter was planning, so she looked at Lin Ye to see what choice he would make.
Lin Ye sneered inwardly.
This "King of Slaughter" is just a load of nonsense.
If he really did that, all his hard work over the past year would have been for nothing.
Without traversing the Hell Road, one cannot obtain the God of Slaughter Domain.
The God of Slaughter's Domain is the key to entering and exiting the City of Slaughter.
Even if, as the King of Slaughter said, he could grant Lin Ye and Bibi Dong the authority to enter and leave the City of Slaughter.
But that would ultimately mean being controlled by the King of Slaughter.
Without the Soul Master's God of Slaughter Domain, one's life and property cannot be truly guaranteed in the City of Slaughter, and one is completely at the mercy of the King of Slaughter.
Lin Ye would never be so foolish as to entrust his life to someone else.
"No need. We cannot break the rules of the Killing City. I hope to pass the Hell Road test by my own strength."
The King of Slaughter's eyes narrowed. "You may not know the horrors of the Hell Road, Blood Demon. Human life is only given once. Have you really thought this through?"
Lin Ye smiled without answering, but his attitude was already very clear.
The King of Slaughter turned his gaze to Bibi Dong, "And you, what is your choice?"
Bibi Dong's voice was as calm as still water: "I choose to challenge the Road to Hell."
The King of Slaughter's blood-red eyes blazed brightly. "Good, very good. I hope you won't regret your choices."
The words were spoken.
The King of Slaughter suddenly released a dense red mist, not a murderous aura, but an extremely evil one, emanating a bone-chilling cold that could freeze one's very bones.
The evil, cold red ripples spread out, and within a few breaths, they had spread throughout the entire area.
In the surrounding stands, the Fallen Ones were all extremely excited, eager to see the Hell Road open.
However, what these people didn't know was that death was beckoning them.
Apart from the God of Slaughter and the King of Slaughter who have already left the City of Slaughter, no one has ever seen what the Hell Road looks like when it is open.
Because everyone who saw them is already dead.
To be precise, they all became sacrifices to open the road to hell.
The red mist of evil aura emanating from the King of Slaughter rolled out towards the surrounding stands.
After the red mist descended, the Fallen Ones who had been cheering wildly in the stands gradually quieted down.
Everyone's eyes gradually became dull. Then, they turned from dull to bloodshot.
Not long after.
An evil red light formed a massive barrier across the entire hellish killing field.
Suddenly, the first person to come into contact with the red mist let out a piercing scream. Immediately afterward, the other fallen ones followed suit.
These people seemed to have gone mad. They were frantically scratching their faces, their bodies...
These people desperately scratched their skin with their fingernails. Bloodstains instantly bloomed on their skin, and blood gushed out, staining their clothes red.
However, the madness did not stop there. They then plunged their hands deep into their own bodies, cruelly tearing out their internal organs. The bloody scene was horrifying, as if the world had fallen into endless madness and despair.
Broken entrails lay scattered on the ground, mingling with blood and emitting a nauseating stench.
Amidst the screams of agony, some emitted sounds of extreme pleasure, as if they were deriving wonderful enjoyment from this self-inflicted torment.
The blood spilled on the ground began to congeal.
The blood flowed like babbling brooks, down the inconspicuous little pipes beneath the stands, towards the center of the killing field.
The King of Slaughter uttered that piercing voice, "It is your honor to become the sacrifice for opening the Road to Hell."
By this time, the screams in the killing field had gradually subsided. Apart from Lin Ye, Bibi Dong, and the King of Slaughter, there were no other living people left.
In the central arena, hidden grooves had appeared out of nowhere. The blood flowed into these grooves, forming a huge blood pattern on the ground.
Lin Ye and Bibi Dong were positioned in the center of the pattern.
next moment.
A massive burst of red light shot into the sky, instantly engulfing the two of them. Everything around them became blurred and indistinct.
Lin Ye felt a sudden dizziness, and when he could see clearly again, he found himself on a circular platform.
The platform is about five meters in diameter.
Bibi Dong regained consciousness earlier than him and was carefully observing her surroundings.
Beyond the circular platform beneath their feet lay a bottomless abyss.
Besides that, what appeared before them was a narrow and long path, only about half a foot wide, just wide enough for two feet to fit.
One can imagine that if one were to walk on it, a slight misstep would send one tumbling into that bottomless abyss.
The path stretched into the distance, and as far as the eye could see, all was darkness and chaos.
Lin Ye arrived at the edge of the circular platform, leaned down and looked down, and saw that below was all blood, or more accurately, a huge river of blood.
Bibi Dong also noticed this situation and frowned, saying, "These are all Bloody Marys, which should be the blood of people accumulated in the Killing City over the years."
Lin Ye seemed to be deep in thought.
The Killing City places great importance on blood, and Bloody Mary can be found almost anywhere.
Here, the blood has converged into a mighty river.
Recalling how Tang San poisoned the Blood River in the original story, thus destroying the City of Slaughter, Lin Ye formed a rough deduction in his mind.
Perhaps, this river of blood is the energy source that keeps the city of slaughter running.
At this moment, Bibi Dong spoke up to remind us, "We'd better hurry up. I have a feeling that the King of Slaughter won't let us leave so easily."
Lin Ye also holds the same view.
So he didn't delay any longer and started walking down the narrow path in front of him, which was known as the Road to Hell.
However, before he could even step onto the ground, he felt someone tugging at his clothes.
Lin Ye turned around, looking puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Bibi Dong handed him a rope. "My external soul bone can still fly here. Hold on tight to the rope. If you fall, I can save you in time."
Due to the special rules within the City of Slaughter, Soul Rings and Soul Bone skills cannot be used here.
However, Bibi Dong's external soul bone, the Six-Winged Purple Light Wings, is essentially a wing, and flight is its most basic ability, so there is no need to release any soul skills.
"Thank you." Lin Ye didn't stand on ceremony at all and reached out to take the rope that Bibi Dong handed over.
Bibi Dong was slightly taken aback. It was quite rare for this guy to actually thank her.
The two of them set off one after the other onto that narrow road to hell.
Before they had gone far, the wind howled behind them.
The two turned around and saw that the newcomer was tall and burly, with a face as pale as paper, horns on his head, and a blood-red stand-up collar cloak.
Who else could it be but the King of Slaughter?
Bibi Dong's body tensed instantly, her eyes revealing an unprecedented solemnity and tension.
His thoughts raced as he considered how to deal with the King of Slaughter.
The appearance of the King of Slaughter at this time clearly indicates that he is ready to completely break off all pretense of civility.
However, given the limitations on soul skills in this place, Bibi Dong couldn't think of an effective way to deal with the King of Slaughter.
This is like sending an unarmed child to fight against heavily armed soldiers—a classic case of throwing an egg against a rock.
Upon seeing the two, the King of Slaughter revealed a ferocious smile.
In any case, he absolutely could not tolerate Lin Ye and Bibi Dong successfully passing through the Hell Road.
Lin Ye is alright, he's just a Soul King and poses no threat to him.
But Bibi Dong is completely different; this woman herself possesses extremely high cultivation. If she were to obtain the God of Slaughter Domain and then return to the City of Slaughter...
At that point, it will be hard to say who will ultimately control the Killing City.
He would never allow anyone to threaten his position.
With a murderous intent, the King of Slaughter swiftly swooped down towards the two, a dense ball of blood-red light condensing in his hand.
He was ruthless and taciturn, unleashing his ultimate move the moment they met, giving neither of them a chance to breathe.
Damn!
Lin Ye cursed inwardly, his eyes suddenly flashing with intense red light, and his mental energy surged forth as if it were a tangible force.
【Extremely Evil Law. Bloodthirsty Calamity】
A blood-red light flashed from Lin Ye's eyes, shooting straight towards the King of Slaughter.
After being hit, the King of Slaughter was momentarily suspended in mid-air.
After a brief moment of distraction, the King of Slaughter returned to normal.
He stared at Lin Ye in disbelief, his expression as if he had seen a ghost.
"You, you're just a mere Soul King, yet you dare to interfere with me."
He knew this guy had the ability to devour souls, but he hadn't taken him seriously before. A Soul King, no matter how much trouble he caused, couldn't really make a big difference.
But to his utter surprise, this mere Soul King was able to influence him for a short time.
What the King of Slaughter didn't know was that this didn't mean Lin Ye's mental strength was truly powerful enough to rival a Title Douluo, but rather that the [Blood Fiend Calamity] had special effects.
The Blood Fiend Calamity specifically targets the weaknesses of the soul. Once mastered, it can even allow one to overcome stronger opponents with weaker souls, achieving a miraculous effect similar to using minimal force to deflect a great weight.
Lin Ye didn't have time to care about the King of Slaughter's shock. He quickly took out a white jade box from his storage soul tool.
"King of Slaughter, if you dare to lay a hand on me again, we shall die together."
"Hahahaha..." The King of Slaughter seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. "You? Try to take me down with you? Aren't you overestimating yourself..."
He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.
The King of Slaughter looked at the white jade box in Lin Ye's hand with suspicion, or rather, at the herb inside the box.
It was a white herb, each leaf crystal clear and snow-white, so white it seemed to drip water, slender and curved, looking like the graceful neck of a swan.
"This is the Snow Swan's Kiss, which can amplify the poison a thousandfold," Lin Ye explained to the King of Slaughter.
The King of Slaughter sneered, "So what? You want to poison me? Do you think I'll give you that chance?"
His true form is the Blood Soul Nine-Headed Bat King, a soul beast, so his perception of rare and precious herbs is far more acute than that of humans, and he was able to judge that Lin Ye had not exaggerated the abilities of this herb.
But he was not afraid; he was confident that he would not give the other party the opportunity to poison him.
Lin Ye chuckled, lowered his head, and gazed at the river of blood below. "This blood is the energy that keeps the City of Slaughter running, right?"
Seeing that he had set his sights on the Blood River below, the King of Slaughter's expression changed drastically, and he knew something was wrong.
Lin Ye's voice rang out again, "As far as I know, Bloody Mary contains a kind of slow-acting toxin, right? There are Bloody Marys all over here."
"Guess what will happen if I throw this herb in?"
Before the King of Slaughter could react, Lin Ye said to himself, "First of all, those who rely on Bloody Mary will be poisoned to death."
Secondly, once the Blood River is destroyed, the City of Slaughter will lose its energy and will also perish. At that time, without the protection of the City of Slaughter, you will also be doomed.
After a pause, Lin Ye pointed at Bibi Dong and said, "She's an elder of the Spirit Hall, the only disciple of the current Pope. Do you think the Spirit Hall will let you off the hook if something happens to her in the City of Slaughter?"
The King of Slaughter's expression turned extremely ugly. Lin Ye was only guessing, but he knew clearly that the blood river below was indeed the energy core that maintained the operation of the Slaughter City.
If Lin Ye destroys it, the City of Slaughter will soon collapse and disintegrate as well.
Without the fortified stronghold of the City of Slaughter, how could he possibly contend with the powerful Spirit Hall?
Now he only has two paths before him.
First, disregard their threats and kill them. Then, soon after, the City of Slaughter collapses, and he will have to face the wrath of the Spirit Hall.
This is something he doesn't want to see.
Second, let these two people go.
But the two sides have already fallen out. Letting them go might mean these two would bring powerful figures from the Spirit Hall into the City of Slaughter to settle scores later. (End of Chapter)
