Chapter 64: Hell Road
"Asura, thank you for letting me feel passion again. To commend your achievements, I have decided to grant you the title of Slaughter God in an exceptional case. From now on, you may enter and leave Slaughter City at will. And I invite you to serve as a Guest Elder of Slaughter City under me."
"That will not be necessary; open the Hell Road."
The Slaughter King's eyes narrowed, and he sneered inwardly, knowing how terrifying the Hell Road was.
If Su Mo entered the Hell Road, it would be a near-death experience, and he would have a better chance to Parasite him.
The Slaughter King did not try to persuade Su Mo, nor did he mention how terrifying the Hell Road was, simply saying: "Since that is the case, I will not force the matter."
Su Mo suddenly felt that something was wrong; he had no Slaughter God backing him, and the Slaughter King did not know his origins, so why would he let him enter the Hell Road so easily?
One must know that Slaughter City did not wish to see the birth of a Slaughter God.
However, even if the Slaughter King had other motives, he still had to pass through the Hell Road to leave.
Although this place was beneficial to his Cultivate, he did not want to stay in this godforsaken place forever.
Having lived here for two and a half years, always alone without anyone to talk to, it was fine at first, but as time passed, the days became increasingly dull and tedious.
At this moment, a dense red mist suddenly erupted from the Slaughter King, its aura icy and chilling, filling the entire arena in an instant.
The fallen ones in the audience were not afraid; instead, they were exceptionally excited.
However, the next moment, the frenzied cheering came to an abrupt halt.
The eyes of the fallen ones gradually became dull.
Immediately after, they began to scream in agony, tearing at their own bodies like madmen, their skin and flesh ripping open, and some even tore out their own internal organs until they lost their lives.
At the same time, the blood spilled onto the ground, beginning to gather and flow through inconspicuous small pipes beneath the audience stands toward the center of the Slaughter Arena.
For a time, the scene was extremely bloody.
But to Su Mo, who had lived in Slaughter City for two and a half years, his heart remained calm, for he had already seen scenes even more disgusting than this.
As all the fallen ones died, the entrance to the Hell Road slowly opened.
"I wish you good luck on the Hell Road," said the Slaughter King.
The next moment, a sensation of weightlessness struck, and everything before Su Mo's eyes became illusory.
It is unknown how much time had passed, but Su Mo appeared on a circular platform.
Beyond the platform was a bottomless abyss.
Apart from that, there was only a narrow path leading into the unknown darkness.
However, for Su Mo, even if there was no road, he could still walk.
He released his External Soul Bone, Black Gold Sword Wings, and sped along the narrow path.
A moment later, a large swarm of bats suddenly emerged ahead.
Su Mo landed, and the sword feathers detached from his body, transforming into a rain of swords that shot toward the bat swarm.
Those bats reacted extremely quickly, actually dodging the sword feathers by turning sideways.
But the sword feathers could turn back, and their number was astonishing; in just a moment, the bat swarm was completely slaughtered.
The sword feathers were retracted, and Su Mo knew there was still a big guy.
Not long after moving forward, he discovered a Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King hanging upside down beneath the narrow path; it was the king of that swarm of bats, possessing strength comparable to a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast.
At this moment, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King let out a hiss, flapped its wings, and lunged fiercely at Su Mo.
Su Mo flapped his wings and easily dodged the pounce.
Immediately after, his right arm shone with light, and he activated his hundred thousand year spirit ring skill from the Azure Bull Python: Azure Sluggish Divine Claw.
In an instant, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King's movements and six senses were slowed by ten times.
The next moment, four tangible streams of Killing Intent condensed into swords, shooting toward its three heads and body respectively.
The Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King wanted to dodge, but under the suppression of the hundred thousand year spirit ring skill, it was helpless and could only watch as the blood swords struck.
Almost simultaneously, its three heads and body were pierced through, the restriction vanished, and it fell straight into the blood river below.
Su Mo continued to fly forward.
Before long, he encountered the next challenge: the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent.
The snake's body was about ten meters long, with nine protrusions on its head and back.
Su Mo did not hesitate, releasing the Azure Sluggish Divine Claw again to firmly restrain the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent.
Subsequently, he condensed the Asura Demon Sword, because the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent was stronger than the previous bats, and it would be difficult to kill it in one blow without his Martial Soul.
Su Mo controlled the sword with his Soul Power, and the Asura Demon Sword shot out instantly.
The restrained Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent could not resist at all; its six senses were severed, which was equivalent to temporarily losing contact with its inner core.
A moment later, the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent was cut into two sections, completely losing its life.
A golden bead was held in Su Mo's hand; it was the inner core of the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent.
He stored the inner core into his spirit tool and retracted his Martial Soul.
He knew there was only one last challenge left.
Just as Su Mo was about to continue moving forward, he suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis from behind.
He turned around abruptly and saw the figure of the Slaughter King suddenly appear.
"Slaughter King, why are you here?" Su Mo frowned slightly.
The Slaughter King curled the corners of his mouth into an eerie smile: "Why? Naturally, it is for your perfect body."
The Slaughter King had intended to wait for a better opportunity, but he had not expected Su Mo's strength to be so formidable, and that he was even hiding a Soul Bone.
If he did not act now, once Su Mo left Slaughter City, he would have no more opportunities and would have to look for someone else.
Yet, he truly did not want to miss out on this perfect body.
"Body? Are you the Nine Headed Bloody Crimson Bat King? Planning to Parasite me?" Su Mo asked in a deep voice, his right hand already quietly summoning the Asura Demon Sword.
"You actually know of this King?" The Slaughter King was greatly shocked inwardly.
According to the Black-Veiled Woman, from the moment Asura stepped into Slaughter City, he seemed to know this place like the back of his hand; what exactly was his background?
The only ones from the outside world who could be so familiar with Slaughter City were the Slaughter Gods.
But in the thousand years of Slaughter City, there had only been a total of six Slaughter Gods.
Three of them were Guest Elders of Slaughter City, and one was the very body he was currently Parasite-ing.
The other two had long since left Slaughter City, but that was a distant past that was almost blurred.
Could it be that Su Mo was a descendant of one of those Slaughter Gods?
The Slaughter King thought over and over, and only this explanation made sense.
However, he was not worried at all, because those two Slaughter Gods had likely long since turned into a handful of dust.
Su Mo narrowed his eyes; it was indeed that bat. It should have been waiting for the opportunity to Parasite when Tang Chen was undergoing the Asura God trial, taking advantage of the Rakshasa God's secret interference, but he had not expected it to target him now.
He did not hesitate any longer and released the Slaughter God Domain directly.
In an instant, blood-colored mist filled the air.
At the same time, the release of the Slaughter God Domain caused the original Domain power of Slaughter City to instantly dissipate.
His Soul Rings were also revealed: one yellow, two purple, one black, and one red.
"Slaughter God Domain?!" The Slaughter King's heart shook violently, "How could you have the Slaughter God Domain? You... you actually possess a hundred thousand year spirit ring?!"
According to common sense, Su Mo had not fully passed through the Hell Road, so it was impossible for him to possess the Slaughter God Domain.0
