"Congratulations, young Golden Spear King." A low, sharp voice suddenly echoed from all directions. The murderous aura within Lin Yuan was immediately suppressed upon hearing the voice, and his face turned pale.
The atmosphere of the Hell Killing Arena suddenly became tense as a crimson figure descended from the sky.
"The King of Slaughter, the King of Slaughter, the King of Slaughter…" The shouting made those lying on the ground hoarse, yet they had no intention of stopping.
Lin Yuan's heart filled with awe as he gazed at the crimson figure in midair.
It was a tall man, wrapped in a massive crimson cloak. His face was pale, eyes blood-red, and he descended slowly from the sky as if completely unaffected by gravity.
This was Tang Chen, the King of Slaughter, a Level 99 peerless Douluo!
Hovering five meters above the ground, he stopped descending and looked down at Lin Yuan. The low, sharp voice sounded again: "Summon the Fox Witch."
The other gate of the Hell Killing Arena opened, and Daji slowly walked forward. Her eyes were nearly blood-red, and her breathing was unsteady from her own murderous aura. As her gaze locked on Lin Yuan, her breathing finally stabilized slightly.
Lin Yuan stepped beside Daji, channeling his Bei Ming energy directly into her body, instantly calming the chaotic killing aura around her.
The King of Slaughter's gaze landed on the arena's viewing platform.
"Today, I am very pleased to witness the birth of two Killing Arena experts. Decades of brilliance are fully displayed in these two young people. They possess immense power and terrifying killing intent. Don't you all feel fear in your hearts?"
"Yes—yes—yes—" The King of Slaughter seemed to radiate a unique charm, causing all the fallen to become nearly crazed with admiration upon seeing him.
The King of Slaughter looked down at Lin Yuan and Daji. "Golden Spear King, Fox Witch, thank you for letting me feel the passion of existence once more. Very good. In recognition of your achievements, I hereby grant you the title of 'Gods of Slaughter.' From now on, you may freely enter and exit the City of Slaughter and will be appointed as guest ministers of the city."
The two exchanged glances, understanding his intent.
Daji spoke first: "There is no need, great King of Slaughter. Please do not break the rules of the City of Slaughter for us. I am willing to undergo the trial of the Hell Road and earn your reward. I wish to rely on my own strength to leave here and become a true God of Slaughter."
The King of Slaughter narrowed his eyes. "You do not fully understand the terror of the Hell Road. Fox Witch, you must understand, a person only has one life."
Daji sneered: "King of Slaughter, dare you speak to me about life? Isn't that absurd? This is the world of killing."
Lin Yuan smiled faintly. "Our purpose here is to tread the path to Hell. King of Slaughter, thank you for your favor. Please open the entrance to Hell. I wish to walk this path alongside the Fox and the Witch."
"In that case, you are on your own."
The King of Slaughter's tone grew noticeably colder, tinged with sarcasm. "Do you think the Hell Road is so easy to break through? Even the two of you, it will not be that simple."
Suddenly, thick red mist emanated from the King of Slaughter. The immense aura forced Lin Yuan and Daji to retreat quickly. Only after backing tens of meters did they barely withstand the pressure.
The previously cheering fallen gradually quieted as the red light settled on the viewing platform. When the red light formed a massive barrier across the arena, the first person to touch it let out a scream of agony.
The fallen began to torture themselves. Their skin curled, blood spattered everywhere, and even their internal organs were torn out. This madness would continue until death.
Blood spilled on the ground, beginning to coagulate. Streams of blood flowed through hidden pipes beneath the hall, converging toward the center of the arena. Countless winding red streams snaked inward like little serpents.
"They take pride in becoming sacrifices to open the gates of Hell," the King of Slaughter's low voice intoned. Slowly, the screams subsided. Apart from Lin Yuan, Daji, and the King of Slaughter, it seemed no one else remained alive.
The blood flowed across the ground, not in straight lines. Trenches formed, guiding the blood into them. Gradually, these trenches converged into a massive crimson pattern on the ground.
Suddenly, the crimson pattern exploded into a dazzling red light. The immense glow shot skyward, instantly engulfing the two. All surrounding perceptions blurred, leaving only the King of Slaughter's low, sharp voice echoing in their ears.
"Good luck on the Hell Road."
Engulfed by the crimson light, Lin Yuan and Daji felt their feet empty, everything around them becoming illusory. At that moment, all senses were completely cut off. Uncontrollable, excruciating pain stirred an inexplicable fear in their hearts. Unseen by them, a faint white ripple formed from their killing aura, protecting their bodies. Without this, they would have been completely consumed the moment the blood spread.
When Lin Yuan and Daji fully regained awareness, they found themselves on a circular platform only about five meters in diameter. They then fell to the ground.
Everything around them was tinged with faint crimson. Beyond the five-meter platform beneath their feet was a deep chasm.
"Let's go." Lin Yuan and Daji stepped onto the narrow path ahead.
Time passed second by second, and the temperature around them rose steadily. Familiar with the original story, Lin Yuan knew this narrow path was drawing closer to the blood pool below.
He soon noticed a buzzing sound and glimpsed red shadows approaching rapidly. He quickly realized why the sound frequency was so high in his mental perception—these flying creatures were not one or two, but a swarm, numbering at least thousands.
As they drew closer, the flying creatures became clear: blood-red bats. Each was about one foot long, but with wings extended, over a meter wide.
"Right arm bone of the Ice Dragon King, Ice Domain Extreme."
The polar ice rapidly enveloped all the bats, gradually lowering the surrounding temperature. The bats froze one by one. Daji quickened her pace, and her Fox Claws killed each frozen bat.
These bats' special abilities were unaffected by spiritual power, but they feared domains most.
Within the domain, their abilities would be impaired, allowing Lin Yuan to kill them easily.
The two continued forward. Suddenly, a larger blood bat let out a shrill screech, followed by the others. The sound was piercing, and Lin Yuan frowned.
Ahead on the narrow path, hanging upside down below, was a massive figure. In the dim light, a dark-golden glow emanated from it.
The corpse's two enormous claws gripped the narrow path tightly, each over a meter in diameter, clutching the stone.
Amidst the screaming bats, a pair of enormous wings slowly unfurled from the dark-golden body, with a terrifying wingspan of ten meters. The claws released suddenly, and the massive body was lifted by the wing flaps. It was an extremely gigantic bat.
Its body was dark-golden, and most terrifyingly, it had three heads. All the blood bats quickly flew through the air, gathering behind this massive dark-golden three-headed bat.
"The Dark-Golden Three-Headed Bat King!"
