Phew! Wang Yi gasped for air. Although he was exhausted, he still used his remaining spirit power to return to the Shenwei Space.
After Wang Yi left, the Slaughter King also arrived.
He looked at the two particularly conspicuous mountains of corpses in surprise, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked. He hadn't expected this kid to possess such strength.
"It seems I underestimated him, but where did this kid run off to? Why can't I sense him anymore? That shouldn't be the case, should it? Did he leave Slaughter City?"
The Slaughter King ultimately shook his head. He didn't believe this kid had the ability to leave Slaughter City. After all, he had just gone through a major battle and should be very tired right now. Perhaps he went somewhere else to recover his divine force.
Furthermore, the guards outside weren't pushovers; it was simply impossible for him to escape from here. Moreover, those soldiers were much stronger than these so-called Fallen, otherwise, these Fallen would have long since forced their way out of Slaughter City.
"Interesting. Perhaps I can take him under my wing. So young and yet so formidable, he will definitely be a good subordinate once he grows."
In the Shenwei Space, Wang Yi was recovering his spirit power, completely unaware of the Slaughter King's thoughts. Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't agree. Are you kidding? Our protagonist is a man destined to become a God; how could he be a subordinate to such a small fry?
After this incident, I believe no one in Slaughter City should dare to trouble me again, but I still need to be wary of that Slaughter King.
He wasn't like Tang San and Hu Liena, who had Tang Hao and Bibi Dong backing them. If the Slaughter King shamelessly refused to open the Hell Road, Wang Yi would be helpless.
However, it wasn't entirely without a solution, as this Slaughter King was actually Tang Chen, who had been Parasited by the Blood-Colored Nine-Headed Bat King.
And to forcibly awaken Tang Chen, or rather, to force the Blood-Colored Nine-Headed Bat King to open Hell, there was only one way!
Three months later.
After the previous thousand-person encirclement, Wang Yi became completely famous in Slaughter City. Although many Fallen still coveted his Spirit Bone,
they also needed the guts to go for it.
What? Attacking with more people again?
Didn't you see those two conspicuous mountains of corpses? This is what this master created. Who would be so idle and tired of living to go and die? Are you crazy, or is this World too crazy?
Besides the thousand-person siege, Wang Yi also gained a nickname in Slaughter City: Hell Asura!
Similarly, Wang Yi had also reached a hundred consecutive victories after three months.
Congratulations to Nine-Four-Nine-Six for achieving his hundredth consecutive victory!
Hell Asura!
Hell Asura!
Hell Asura!
Upon hearing that Wang Yi had achieved his hundredth consecutive victory, the Fallen in the Hell Slaughter Arena shouted "Hell Asura" as if they had gone mad.
At this moment, a neutral male voice rang out.
"Congratulations, young Hell Asura!"
Wang Yi looked towards the source of the voice and saw a mass of blood-red aura gradually solidify, then a man with bat wings on his back appeared.
Immediately, the crowd began to shout excitedly!
Slaughter King! Slaughter King! Slaughter King!
Then the Slaughter King spoke again.
"Today, another strong individual has emerged in the Killing Ground. His immense strength and terrifying killing intent make you tremble! Is that right?"
Yes!!!! The Fallen in the arena roared in unison!!
"Hell Asura! I will exceptionally bestow upon you the title of Slaughter God, and formally invite you as an honored guest, with a status second only to mine! From now on, you may freely enter and exit Slaughter City!"
Wang Yi frowned and cursed under his breath, "As expected. If I don't take the Hell Road, I can only obtain the Slaughter God title. It seems that old bastard, the Slaughter King, really doesn't want me to gain the Slaughter God Domain!"
"No need. I am willing to rely on my own strength to pass through the Hell Road and become a true Slaughter God!"
Hmm?
The Slaughter King's expression turned very ugly after hearing these words, but he couldn't break the rules of Slaughter City. So,
"Hehe, Hell Asura, perhaps you don't know the terror of the Hell Road, and you must know that a person only has one Life!!"
Slaughter King, are you talking to me about Life? Don't you find it laughable?
"Young man, you must understand that the Hell Road cannot be opened just because you want it to be. It requires sacrifices. If you wish to go to Hell, you can only wait until the sacrifices are complete before it opens."
The Slaughter King wasn't annoyed. His eyes darted around, and he came up with a plan. Anyway, whether the sacrifices were complete or not, and whether the Hell Road opened or not, was all within his control. Since you refuse to submit, then you can just wait here in Slaughter City. I can postpone this matter for you for a lifetime.
Wang Yi narrowed his eyes, and at the same time, the countermeasure from yesterday echoed in his mind.
"Good thing I was prepared yesterday, otherwise I would have really fallen for your trick."
Just as the Slaughter King was about to leave, Wang Yi quickly used his spirit power to transmit a message to him. The Slaughter King's face changed drastically upon hearing it. He turned and stared intently at Wang Yi, while also pondering something.
Wang Yi had actually only said three words to him: Poseidon!
At that time, when the Slaughter King heard the three words "Poseidon," Tang Chen's soul consciousness, which was suppressed deep within, clearly showed strong fluctuations, and the Blood-Colored Nine-Headed Bat King could also feel the throbbing of Tang Chen's soul.
That's why the Slaughter King had been staring at Wang Yi just now. He was thinking about whether to kill him or let him go to the Hell Road.
Seeing the Slaughter King's expression, he knew this method had worked, so he transmitted a few more words to the Slaughter King. This time, the Slaughter King finally stopped hesitating.
Because the more Wang Yi mentioned Poseidon, the greater the throbbing in Tang Chen's soul. If he continued, he might truly lose control of this body.
"You really want to challenge Hell?" the Slaughter King asked, his voice hoarse, as he stared at Wang Yi.
"Of course, otherwise why would I come to Slaughter City for no reason? Am I here for a vacation?"
Hehe, since you insist on seeking death, then this King will fulfill your wish!
Then the Slaughter King extended both hands, and his two bat wings appeared. He then flew into the air, and immediately, the chains of the Hell Slaughter Arena began to break.
Meanwhile, the audience in the Killing Ground was chatting animatedly.
A: Besides the Slaughter God and the Slaughter King, no one has ever seen the Hell Road open!
B: Yeah, yeah! But didn't the Slaughter King just say he couldn't open it without sacrifices? How can he open it now?
C: Perhaps the sacrifices have been gathered?
The reason they had never seen the Hell Road open was because everyone who had seen it was already dead.
And at this moment, the Slaughter King spoke.
"It is their honor to become the sacrifices for the opening of the Hell Road!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding Fallen were instantly engulfed by a terrifying aura. All the Fallen fell to the ground, their souls flying to the center of the Killing Ground. A bloody vortex began to emerge beneath Wang Yi's feet, and then a group of black hands began to drag Wang Yi downwards!
At this moment, the Slaughter King's voice rang out, "Good luck on the Hell Road!"
It was a while before Wang Yi finally woke up.
Looking ahead, the path had many forks. Wang Yi released his mental force to scout and, finding no danger, began to advance. Soon, the further he walked, the hotter it felt.
Wang Yi looked down and realized that he was on a downhill slope, which was why it was so hot.
"It seems I must find a way out quickly. I remember there are two guardians on this Hell Road: one is the primordial fierce beast, the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent, and the other is the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, whose cultivation is approximately fifty thousand years!"
Squeak, squeak, squeak!
Wang Yi looked up and saw a large number of small bats flying towards him.
These are the Three-Headed Bat King's minions, right? Heh! A bunch of cannon fodder.
Wang Yi's face was full of disdain for these trash. With the Emperor Dragon Sacred Sword in his right hand, he activated the first sword art. A sword qi with powerful lightning light slashed out, and with a "boom!", the Bat King's cannon fodder instantly turned to ashes.
Looking at his masterpiece, he clapped his hands, indicating his approval. Since his minions were dead, their boss should be coming out now, right?
"Roar!" A huge roar echoed, and a giant three-headed bat appeared. It was staring intently at the human who had killed its minions.
"Oh, you're finally here. I thought you weren't the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King but the Cowardly Turtle King. Is that all? Is that all? Trash."
As a Spirit Beast over fifty thousand years old, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King had already developed some intelligence. He could understand some human words. When he heard that the human who had annihilated his minions actually called him the Cowardly Turtle King, he immediately couldn't tolerate it.
"How outrageous! Not only did you kill my minions, but you also called me the Cowardly Turtle King! This is truly unbearable, even for an aunt!"
"Hateful human, go to hell!" The Three-Headed Bat King had already sentenced Wang Yi to death in his heart and charged towards Wang Yi with a dive.
Looking at the Cowardly Turtle King flying towards him, Wang Yi showed no fear. He directly activated Susanoo, used its Susanoo arm, and grabbed it.
The grabbed Three-Headed Cowardly Turtle King looked at this person with eyes full of fear for this human. He hadn't expected this human to have such an ability. The moment he was grabbed, he wanted to break free with brute force, but the Susanoo's large hand gripped even tighter. Finally, helpless, the Cowardly Turtle King's three heads simultaneously showed a pleading expression.
Seeing this, Wang Yi smiled faintly. "No tricks left, huh? Cowardly Turtle King. Let's see if you still dare to act arrogant in front of me. You appeared so awesome, I thought you were a king, but you're just bronze trash. Alright, next life, be careful and remember to have a good reincarnation. Also, don't act so arrogant next time. Haven't you heard that arrogance invites lightning strikes, striking from head to toe, and acting tough gets you bitten by dogs, bitten all the way to your crotch?"
In the original work, Tang Buddha fought this Cowardly Turtle King to the death, and I thought it was a big deal. Turns out this guy is such trash?
Looking at Wang Yi's devil-like smile, coupled with those words, the Three-Headed Cowardly Turtle King instantly despaired. He knew he was dead today, but he still didn't want to give up and continued to struggle.
Don't worry, buddy, I'm a good person. I guarantee you'll die super fast! Really, I promise.
Alright, hearing this, the Three-Headed Cowardly Turtle King struggled even more fiercely. He thought to himself, "You're really a dog. What good is a promise like yours? If you have the guts, let me go, and we'll fight three hundred rounds!"
Seeing that guy's expression, Wang Yi's mischievous side was satisfied. He no longer teased him, and with the Darkgolden Dreadclaw appearing in his hand, he tore all three of its heads to shreds.
Afterward, Wang Yi cast one last look at this shrinking turtle king before mercilessly throwing him down below.
After dealing with the Darkgolden Three-headed Bat King, Wang Yi paused briefly before continuing forward.
As he ran, he felt something was off; why hadn't that pipi snake appeared?
No! It's better to observe first.
Byakugan, open!
Wang Yi's eyes changed from blood-red to white, and blue veins bulged around them, making his vision incredibly clear.
"Indeed! As expected of the Byakugan, having this is like having X-ray vision."
Since Wang Yi obtained the Byakugan, he hadn't used it much in the past ten-plus chapters, as its utility was limited, primarily for reconnaissance.
Before evolving into the Tenseigan, its usefulness was ultimately not as good as the Sharingan.
Wang Yi stood at a high vantage point, constantly observing his surroundings with the Byakugan.
Soon enough, he detected what was amiss: "The reason this snake hasn't appeared is because this guy was hiding beneath the Hell Road.
No wonder I couldn't find you, you truly are a cunning old schemer!"
Hmph! I'll show you for hiding! Susanoo, Amenoma Hisaki!
Wang Yi activated Susanoo, using his long-range attack weapon to aim at the cunning pipi snake beneath the bridge.
With a "whoosh," a giant arrow pierced through the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent's vital spot.
The poor Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent was killed by someone else's scheme before it could even scheme against anyone.
Seeing the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent he had killed, Wang Yi nodded in satisfaction.
Indeed, when it came to being a cunning schemer, it had to be him.
There was nothing he could do, he had cheats, and even X-ray vision cheats.
Therefore, those who oppose the protagonist are destined to have a bad end, unless their cheats are stronger than his.
Just as Wang Yi was feeling smug, a loud "rumble" occurred, and the Hell Road beneath his feet suddenly began to sink.
Wang Yi was startled and quickly moved forward, sucking the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent's corpse into his Shenwei Space.
Then, with a shake of his shoulders, a pair of blue-purple wings condensed from spirit power appeared.
After carefully sensing for a moment, he slowly controlled his wings to fly into the air, looking at the collapsing Hell Road below, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he had learned this before coming, otherwise it would have been a bit troublesome.
He then activated his Byakugan again, and soon arrived in front of a light gate.
Wang Yi took a deep breath and walked out of the Hell Road.
With a flash of light, he disappeared from Hell.
Outside World
Walking out of the Hell Road, Wang Yi joyfully felt his own body, and then released a powerful killing intent from within him.
"There's no mistake, this is the Slaughter God Domain!
Indeed, I didn't come here in vain this time, haha!
Coming out of Slaughter City in two years, it seems my speed isn't slow."
At this moment, Wang Yi also sensed his own spirit power.
Soon, Wang Yi said happily: "Level 40!
No! It should be more than Level 40.
Although the spirit power I absorbed from those Fallen this year wasn't a lot, it definitely wasn't a small amount."
"In that case, I'll acquire my fourth spirit ring before heading back.
However, neither the Star Soul Forest nor the Star Dou Great Forest are close to Slaughter City, so I need to speed up my pace.
There's no other way; he didn't leave a Flying Thunder God mark in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Although there is one in the Star Soul Forest, the variety of Spirit Beasts there isn't as abundant as in the Star Dou Great Forest, and the latter offers more choices.
Since the distances are similar, I'll go to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Besides, doesn't he still have the Douluo Continent map? That thing can teleport."
Wang Yi opened the map, found the Star Dou Great Forest on it, and clicked the teleport button.
With a "whoosh," he disappeared from the entrance of Slaughter City, and when he reappeared, he was already in the Star Dou Great Forest.
What Wang Yi didn't know was that the Asura God in the God Realm was currently observing him, the person who had just emerged from the Hell Road.
When he saw Wang Yi suddenly disappear from his original spot, the Asura God looked at him with some surprise, but what followed was a darkened face.
He had seen all of Wang Yi's actions clearly throughout the past year, but only the Hell Road part made his expression less than pleasant.
"You, kid, you went through the Hell Road, fine, but why did you have to break the Hell Road for no reason?
However, the Asura God changed his mind; perhaps this was a good opportunity to initiate that plan.
The Asura God, like Poseidon, was a lifelong bachelor in the God Realm.
Both of these guys wanted to quickly find a suitable successor to pass on their God Position.
To this end, the Asura God even used some of his authority to find Tang San, who had been forced to jump off a cliff in another World, and brought him to the Douluo Continent.
However, he never expected that the Douluo Continent would produce such a genius youth with three Spirits like Wang Yi.
If he had known there was someone like Wang Yi, he wouldn't have brought Tang San over.
Not only would it have saved him time and effort, but he also had to keep an eye on his arch-rival, Destruction.
He never expected that such a genius kid would be preempted by that old fellow, Sea God.
That little fellow Tang Chen was already useless, and his descendant Tang Hao's talent wasn't good either.
That Tang San and this current little fellow are simply incomparable.
That kid Tang San is still in school, while this kid has already passed the Hell Road.
Shouldn't he be in school at this age?
This kid couldn't have cheated, could he?
Level 40 at only eight years old, who would believe you didn't cheat?
Or rather, was it that Sea God guy who cheated?
(Dog Author: Sorry, I'm the one who cheated, you got the wrong person.)
The Asura God quickly made a choice between Wang Yi and Tang San; after all, even an idiot would know who to choose.
But the rules of the God Realm made it difficult for him, and Destruction, who was at odds with him, had also been keeping an eye on him.
He was in a tough spot!
Hmph! Destruction, this time I'll be tough and fight you to the end.
Anyway, this kid has already passed the test I set in Slaughter City, so doesn't that mean he has indirectly accepted my God's trial?
Moreover, this kid even killed my Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent, and not only that, he also destroyed my Hell Road.
As compensation, you kid should obediently become my successor, hehehe. [Same villainous signature laugh!]
Upon arriving at the Star Dou Great Forest, Wang Yi first observed his surroundings with his Byakugan, and felt relieved when he found no one there.
However, this was only the outer perimeter, and the strongest Spirit Beasts were only a hundred years old.
Since that was the case, he decided to try his luck in the mixed zone, and if that didn't work, he would check the core zone.
But just as Wang Yi was about to move, a majestic voice appeared in his mind.
"Wang Yi has passed the elementary assessment of Slaughter City, demonstrating extraordinary talent, passing the Hell Road at the tender age of ten, possessing powerful talent!
Reaching the Spirit Ancestor realm at such a young age, the conditions for a God's trial are met.
The Asura God's Nine Trials begin!"
Wang Yi was clearly stunned after hearing this.
What was going on?
Had he become a hot commodity?
Asura God's Nine Trials, First Trial: "Pass the Hell Road and obtain the Slaughter God Domain.
Completed!
Reward: Five hundred years to spirit ring lifespan and five percent Asura God affinity."
Asura God's Nine Trials, Second Trial: "Single-handedly kill a twenty-thousand-year Spirit Beast.
Time limit: one year!"
Uh... what's going on?
Wang Yi was full of question marks at this moment.
Shouldn't the Asura God first ask him if he wanted to accept the God's trial?
Why didn't he even ask?
You're making it very difficult for me, hey, if that old man Sea God knew, wouldn't he curse me to death?
God Realm
In the Sea God Hall, the old man Sea God was sitting on his throne, contemplating how to increase the difficulty of Wang Yi's third assessment while still allowing him to pass.
However, as he was deep in thought, he suddenly felt a powerful yet familiar divine force from Wang Yi's body.
This made the Sea God pause, then he sensed it carefully, and then... the old man's forehead bulged with blue veins, and he cursed under his breath: "Asura, you shameless one, you even want to snatch my successor!
Damn it!"
Then, the Sea God rose from his throne and flew at an extremely fast speed to the Asura God Hall.
Soon, the Sea God walked into the Asura God Hall, kicking the door open, and looked at the Asura God, speaking discontentedly, "Asura, you violated the rules of the God Realm.
Don't you know this kid is already my successor?
You actually lowered a God's trial?
What do you mean by this?
Do you believe I'll report you to the God Realm Committee!"
The Asura God looked at the angry Sea God but didn't care at all, instead slowly saying, "That kid went to my Slaughter City to go through the Hell Road and destroyed my Hell Road.
Not only that, my Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent was also killed by this kid.
He must compensate me."
Of course, Poseidon wouldn't accept what the Asura God said.
Isn't it just a little broken stuff?
Wouldn't it be fine if I compensated you?
"Hmph," isn't it just a road and a snake?
I'll compensate you!
You withdraw your assessment!
Hearing this, the Asura God still said nonchalantly: "Impossible!
Do you think you're the only one tired of staying in the God Realm?
I've long been tired of it too.
Now that I've finally met such a genius youth, if I miss this opportunity, I don't know how many tens of thousands of years I'll have to wait.
Besides, this brat came to my Slaughter City to go through the Hell Road, doesn't that mean he accepted my Asura God inheritance?
You want me to give up?
No way!"
Poseidon's mouth twitched, and he inwardly cursed Wang Yi, that little bastard!
"Why did you have to go to Slaughter City for no reason?
Now look, you've encountered such an unreasonable master."
Poseidon angrily said to the Asura God: "I knew you were plotting against my successor, you, you, you!
'Hmph' Asura, just you wait, I'm going to the God Realm Committee to report you right now!"
Poseidon said the word "you" multiple times, showing how angry he was, but unfortunately, he was only a First Rank God, and not fighting in his specialized Domain.
So Poseidon could only go to the God Realm Committee to complain.
However, the Asura God didn't care at all.
"Want me to withdraw the God's trial?
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!"
Then he no longer bothered with the Sea God's affairs, but leisurely thought about what assessments he would set for his successor next.
