Starting from the young master of Haotian Sect.

Chapter 371 Road to Hell

"I am delighted to witness the birth of a powerful figure in the killing arena today. The Hundred Victories, a phenomenon unseen for decades, has now been revealed by Tianhu, who has displayed the strength of a god of slaughter. He has made you tremble with his immense power and terrifying killing intent, hasn't he, my people?"

"Yes, yes, yes." The King of Slaughter seemed to possess a unique charisma that caused all the Fallen to develop an almost fanatical worship upon seeing him.

Tang San interrupted the shouts of the people present and said, "Alright, open the gates of Hell Road. I didn't come here to listen to your shouts."

Tang San's arrogant words completely silenced the shouts. These crazed, fallen people were terrified and fell silent. This was the King of Slaughter! Who dared to speak like that?

The King of Slaughter's eyes narrowed, a flash of murderous intent passing through them, but he made no move, as if he remained silent.

Tang San smiled calmly. As the inheritor of the Rakshasa God, he naturally knew a lot of things. The rules of the Asura God still existed in the Slaughter City. Once someone passed the Hundred Victories of the Slaughter Arena, the King of Slaughter had to open the Hell Road for him. This was the rule of the Slaughter Arena, a test similar to the God's Exam, which could not be violated.

"Alright, alright, since that's the case, let's get going."

The King of Slaughter's tone turned noticeably colder, even carrying a hint of sarcasm. Was the Road to Hell really so easy to traverse? No matter how powerful you were, the beings on the Road to Hell were far superior to these fallen ones in the Slaughter Arena.

Thick red mist suddenly emanated from the King of Slaughter, and the immense aura forced Tang San to retreat rapidly, all the way to the edge of the killing field.

The King of Slaughter wasn't emanating murderous intent, but rather an aura of extreme evil, a chilling cold that seemed to freeze one's very bones. Evil, icy red ripples slowly spread, reaching the entire area in the blink of an eye.

The fallen ones sitting in the stands were all unusually excited, eager to see the Hell Road open. However, they were unaware that their own lives were about to end.

Tang Hao had obtained the Killing God Domain, so Tang San knew that everyone present would die and become offerings to open the Hell Road.

Tang San quickly realized that although the red light emanating from the King of Slaughter put a lot of pressure on him, it wasn't directed at them. Instead, it was heading towards the surrounding stands.

The Fallen Ones, who had been cheering wildly, gradually quieted down as the red light descended onto the viewing platform. The eyes of each Fallen One gradually became dull, and then turned bloodshot. Before long, when the red light formed a huge barrier across the entire hellish killing field, painful screams began to emanate from those who were the first to come into contact with the red light.

Affected by the red light, the Fallen Ones seemed to have gone mad, frantically scratching their faces and bodies. Instantly, blood gushed from the bodies of all the spectators. Tang San realized that the blood of these Fallen Ones contained a special toxin, the source of which was Bloody Mary.

Blood spilled onto the ground and began to congeal, large amounts of blood flowing like streams through inconspicuous, thin pipes beneath the stands towards the center of the killing arena. Clearly visible, countless winding red liquids flowed into the arena like tiny snakes.

Tang San's eyes narrowed as he looked at the pattern made of blood in the killing field, because the pattern was a bat, a blood-red bat with nine heads.

"As expected, the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King has taken control of the Slaughter City. It has broken away from the Rakshasa God and the Asura God, turning the Slaughter City into what it is now." The Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King was created by the Rakshasa God to tamper with the Asura God's divine test, but after being parasitized, the Nine-Headed Bat King also broke away from the Rakshasa God's control and became completely uncontrollable.

That's why the City of Slaughter has become what it is now, neither like the slaughter of the Asura God nor the death of the Rakshasa.

Just as Tang San was speculating, suddenly, the eyes of the bat pattern on the ground lit up, and a huge red light shot into the sky, instantly engulfing Tang San's body. All his senses became blurred, and only the deep, sharp voice of the King of Slaughter echoed in his ears.

"May the successor of the Rakshasa God have good luck on the road to hell, hahahahahaha."

Under the crimson engulfment, Tang San felt his feet sink into the void, and everything around him became illusory. All his senses were completely shut down at that moment.

Tang San remained calm and instantly activated his dual domains, protecting his body within them and blocking the spread of the Crimson Bat King's crimson color.

After slowly falling for an unknown amount of time, Tang San landed with a thud, finding himself on a circular platform. This platform was only about five meters in diameter and was not very large.

"Just as Father said, this is the entrance to the Road to Hell." Tang San looked around. With the information from Tang Hao, the pioneer, Tang San quickly grasped the situation of the location.

With a snap, the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch at Tang San's waist stirred. Fearing that Bibi Dong would destroy the pouch, Tang San hurriedly opened the pouch. A fragrant breeze flew out of the pouch, giving Tang San no chance to touch it. Bibi Dong landed on the ground instantly, looking around.

Bibi Dong surveyed her surroundings. Everything was tinged with a faint blood-red hue. Beyond the circular platform five meters in diameter beneath her feet lay an abyss of unfathomable depth. Seeing this abyss, Bibi Dong frowned. Even if she fell into such a place, she would surely die. After all, this was a divinely created land; if violated, even a Limit Douluo would be annihilated.

"Stop looking. Below is the Blood Pool. For millions of years, all the killing energy and blood of the Killing City have gathered here. It is also the source of Bloody Mary. If you fall in, unless you are a god, you will surely die."

The Killing Kingdom has always operated thanks to the energy provided by these blood pools. However, decades ago, the Nine-Headed Bat King was killed by the Killing King, and his body fell into the blood pools, polluting them and giving birth to things like Bloody Mary.

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong did not respond. She looked into the darkness in the distance and decided to walk along the Hell Road.

Tang San quickly said, "Hey, do you think this Hell Road is so easy to cross? We're still being suppressed in our soul power and can't use our soul rings. Crossing Hell Road is a near-death experience. Let's go from the top. My dad mentioned that most of the traps and dangers come from the blood pools on both sides and below Hell Road. Going from the top will help us avoid some of the dangers."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong activated her Martial Soul, and a pair of stone wings appeared behind her, intending to fly over from above.

Seeing that Bibi Dong was planning to brave Hell Road alone, Tang San said helplessly, "Don't be so reckless. Only I know the situation on Hell Road. If you fail to brave Hell Road by yourself, what will you do to get revenge?" Tang San said, "Be good, listen to me, let's go through it together."
