Chapter 85 King of Slaughter
"Just lacking a good teacher?" The God of Life winked at him, a hint of playfulness in his voice.
"That depends on his performance." After many days, the voice of the God of Destruction finally carried a hint of pleasure again. Ning Rongrong's face turned ashen. She tried to control the Xuan Tian Treasure Mirror again, but failed once more.
She never expected that after his martial spirit was stripped away, he could still be resurrected in another body—if she had known this would happen, she should have just killed him completely back then!
Golden specks of light scattered and danced like fireflies, while the surrounding golden light gradually rose and twisted, turning into layers of flowing mist, making the entire space blurry.
Kong Tianxu was still pondering the last words that the mysterious powerhouse who called himself the Holy Spirit Puppet had somehow managed to resonate directly in his heart:
"If I'm not mistaken, you should have another martial soul. The power it brings you is far greater than you imagine. You just haven't fully explored it yet. It's something that can truly change the fate of countless people."
"I also want to remind you that this time, the True Love Adventure is not just about sincerity like before; strength is also very important."
"But this is also an opportunity. If you pass this test, I can use this opportunity to give you a reward outside the rules. Moreover, I suggest you try your best to showcase your talents; perhaps you can win that person's favor."
Great? Does he mean the Origin of All Things? Kong Tianxu silently circulated his soul power, slowly expelling the residual aura of the Holy Spirit Demon from his body, and his pale face improved slightly.
He also had some guesses about the other person's identity. The Demonic Martial Soul, silver hair and purple eyes, coupled with his claim of regaining his freedom, all the clues pointed to the same person.
If it really was that powerful being who had reached at least the level of a senior Limit Douluo, then he wouldn't be surprised if he could guess the existence of his own original martial soul. As for the so-called reward outside the rules, he didn't care about it.
He was more concerned about what the other person meant by "that person's youth." If it was as he suspected, then his plan could be brought forward significantly.
The platinum-gold light finally dissipated completely, and the man's gentle voice rang out again:
"Faced with an opponent far stronger than himself, Kong Tianxu was able to create an opportunity to use his martial soul ability with his wisdom and successfully annihilate his opponent with the power of destruction. Although there was a certain degree of martial soul restraint, he won against the strong with the weak and successfully completed the deep adventure. He was rewarded with the ability to perfectly recover from serious injuries."
"Next comes the final challenge, a true adventure. If you pass this challenge, you can not only leave, but you will also receive a reward that I will decide."
"Now, let's begin."
As the gentle male voice rang out, the endless golden plaza around them began to tremble violently. Then, various scenes quietly appeared, hovering and flashing in the air.
With each ray of light, Kong Tianxu could faintly sense a strong suction force within it.
Finally, the changing scenery paused for a moment, and under the crimson light, a golden light fell on Kong Tianxu.
He closed his eyes, feeling the dizziness brought on by the distorted space around the golden light, but tried his best to calm himself down.
He saw it, an incredible place.
At the end of the road to hell, Cain and Xu Tianzhen stood in a triangular formation, warily watching the crimson figure descending from the sky.
Unlike before, the dark golden light around Cain was more solid, and the number of spirit rings surrounding him was no longer three, but four. The colors were also not the usual two yellow and two purple, but two yellow, one purple and one black, which exceeded the optimal ratio.
This spirit ring came from the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, who had cultivated for ten thousand years.
After cooperating with Xu Tianzhen to kill him, she successfully broke through to level 40. Facing more unknown dangers ahead, she resolutely decided to risk absorbing the Fang Nian Soul Ring that was extremely compatible with her.
Even though they are both Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat Kings, this Soul Ring is extremely compatible with her. The inherent spiritual attribute of her Martial Soul also greatly reduces the danger of soul shock. However, the requirements of a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring on both the physical body and spirit are extremely high for a quasi-Soul Master.
But with her ruthless determination and unwavering affection for Kong Tianxu, she actually managed to absorb him at the fourth ring, which can definitely be called a remarkable feat.
Xu Tianzhen also appeared to have changed drastically from before. She clasped her hands together, holding a small golden-red ball that spun around. The sunlight around her even seemed to overlap, radiating a heart-palpitating heat.
If Kong Tianxu were still here, he would definitely recognize what this is at a glance.
The inner core of an ancient, exotic species, the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent.
With Cain, a Soul Master, and Xu Tianzhen, a Soul Venerable, together they managed to kill this extremely powerful Soul Beast despite their Soul Skills being completely restricted!
No one knows how much hardship they have endured, but their current state gives us a clue.
The two women's outer garments were torn in several places, revealing their inner armor. Blood almost completely soaked their bodies, and corrosive toxins continued to erode their wounds. If it weren't for the recovery rewards after clearing Hell Road, they might not even be standing here now.
However, just when they thought it was all over and were preparing to fly together towards the oval-shaped light curtain exit formed by the white light, a blood-red figure descended from the sky—
It was a tall, thin man, completely shrouded in a huge scarlet cloak. His face was unnaturally pale, and his eyes were completely blood red. His body slowly descended from the air, seemingly unaffected by gravity.
Cain and Xu Tianzhen exchanged a glance, their hearts sinking.
Standing in mid-air, he must be at least a Soul Saint.
They are no match for them.
"Two tiny insects somehow got into the road to hell, and I didn't even notice."
The man's bloodshot eyes were fixed on them, his voice low yet piercingly sharp.
A faint, intoxicatingly sweet and fishy scent emanated from him, and Xu Tianzhen almost instantly noticed a slight disturbance in his soul power.
Cain was even more overwhelmed, as if a sense of oppression was coming from the depths of her soul, and her eyes involuntarily turned blood red, similar to the other's.
At that moment, that strange male voice rang in their ears once more:
"Deeper adventures, layered and upgraded, straight into the third level, a true grand adventure. Objective: Escape the Hell Road. Requirements: Escape the Hell Road or survive the King of Slaughter's attack for 15 minutes."
"Timer, start!"
"Walk!"
Almost the instant the voice explained the requirements, Cain pulled Xu Tianzhen up, his dark gold bat wings suddenly unfurling, attempting to use his speed advantage to overtake the mysterious powerhouse known as the King of Slaughter and escape towards the entrance.
"Oh? Humans can actually awaken a martial spirit that is the same as mine? How laughable, daring to show off in front of me, who stands at the pinnacle of great blood."
The King of Slaughter let out a piercing, bat-like laugh, and his cloak billowed behind him without wind, instantly transforming into a pair of enormous, blood-red wings!
Cain was deeply shaken.
The next instant, the blood-red figure, carrying a thick aura of blood, flashed to the two's side!
A streak of red light flashed, and the King of Slaughter raised his right hand slightly. The incomparably sharp blood light was about to cut the two of them in half at the waist, but Cain hurriedly twisted his body to dodge.
At the critical moment, Xu Tianzhen suppressed the urge to vomit and his stomach churned, and the Sun God's Light suddenly burst forth!
As if he had seen something extremely evil, the King of Slaughter retreated rapidly, his scarlet wings tightly enveloping his body for protection.
A wisp of crimson smoke rose, and his voice was filled with exasperation:
"Damn it, how can it be the power of the sun, and such pure sunlight at that?"
Then, looking at Cain who was still activating his martial spirit, he seemed to remember something and said:
"No, even the mighty me isn't completely immune to the sun, so how could the lower bloodlines inherited by humans be completely unaffected?"
He let out a sharp, long howl, and crimson ripples spread rapidly, staining both Cain and Xu Tianzhen with a layer of blood.
Xu Tianzhen exerted all her strength to activate her Sun Martial Soul and resisted with all her might. Cain, who was stronger, trembled. Silver light flashed in her eyes, but she could not stop the blood-red erosion. Her flying speed also decreased immediately, and her direction began to become erratic.
"Heh, no matter how special, it's still just a lower-class bloodline. It'll still end up being controlled by me, Shadow One—"
A flash of golden light!
A figure appeared behind him without warning, slamming down a punch that abruptly interrupted his unfinished words. Caught off guard, the King of Slaughter was sent flying by this punch, whose blood energy had reached the level of a Title Douluo.
I finally got the hang of it.
