Watching the Ten-Headed Blazing Sun Serpent beneath his feet moving slower and slower, Ignaz thrust the Blood Thunder War Spear deeper, pressing his right hand down on the spear handle.
As the pressure increased, the Blood Thunder War Spear's diagonal thrust continued to intensify. The Ten-Headed Blazing Sun Serpent's entire body flew upward, but at an extremely slow speed.
The Ten-Headed Blazing Sun Serpent, filled with extreme unwillingness, spat out the crimson inner core hidden at its vital seven-inch point. In an instant, the scorching energy erupted by the serpent core was rapidly absorbed by the core itself.
In just one second, the area around the entire serpent core became like an endless vortex, madly devouring the blazing spirit power energy contained within the Road to Hell. Even Ignaz, at this moment, was violently pulled by this suction force, unable to break free.
"Self-destruction? That's just your wishful thinking. Now it's time to completely finish off this exotic beast."
Ignaz suddenly gathered strength with both hands and thrust once more. The entire Blood Thunder War Spear directly pierced through the Ten-Headed Blazing Sun Serpent's body.
However, since only one flesh orb had been destroyed, even though its body suffered such severe damage, it still wouldn't die, and its wounds were actually slowly healing.
"There's no time left. Let my blood completely open the devouring gate and absorb all of this beast's snake blood."
Under the tremendous suction force, Ignaz barely managed to raise his left hand and slammed it down against the sharp spike at the end of the Blood Thunder War Spear.
"Crack—"
The bones inside his left palm directly shattered. The extremely sharp spike pierced straight through Ignaz's entire left hand, and torrential blood rapidly flowed down along the spear handle.
In an instant, the Blood Thunder War Spear burst forth with an unprecedented red brilliance. Endless snake blood was madly absorbed through the spear tip, with blood essence dyeing the entire spear body red.
The Ten-Headed Blazing Sun Serpent struggled frantically, its serpentine eyes gradually changing from ferocity to unwillingness, then to despair. As the last trace of blood essence was absorbed into the Blood Thunder War Spear, the inner core's devouring self-destruction process instantly disappeared.
At the crucial moment, four Dark Gold Three-Headed Bats consecutively flew out from the magma. They looked greedily at the Ten-Headed Blazing Sun Serpent's inner core floating in the air.
Seeing this situation, Ignaz quickly stored the already dead Ten-Headed Blazing Sun Serpent's extremely hard snake skin into his storage spirit tool, gripped his spear with one hand, and rapidly rushed toward the serpent core only five meters away.
Watching as the four Dark Gold Three-Headed Bats were about to make contact with the Ten-Headed Blazing Sun Serpent's inner core, Ignaz quickly executed his third self-created spirit skill.
However, just as he obtained the Ten-Headed Blazing Sun Serpent's inner core, the four Dark Gold Three-Headed Bats all broke free from the vacuum zone's control and spat twelve dark purple energy orbs at Ignaz in the center.
Facing attacks from all directions, Ignaz, whose left hand was continuously bleeding, flew directly upward, using the tremendous energy generated by the four attacks to catapult himself toward the exit.
The four Dark Gold Three-Headed Bats who had recovered saw that Ignaz was gradually approaching the exit and became even more enraged. They flew toward Ignaz at extreme speed while simultaneously launching sonic waves and countless poison bullets ahead.
Under Ignaz's Emperor Slaying Domain, the four Dark Gold Three-Headed Bats' attacking behavior could only serve as a kind of propellant for him.
Just as Ignaz was getting closer and closer to the exit, six more Dark Gold Three-Headed Bats emerged from the magma ahead of him, and the entire Road to Hell shook even more violently.
Within the scalding crimson lava, a blurry black shadow extending to thirty meters was rapidly forming.
"Holy crap, no way! This Road to Hell actually has so many Dark Gold Three-Headed Bats appearing at once, even hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts. Could that hundred-thousand-year black shadow below be the Dark Gold Nine-Headed Bat King parasitizing the King of Slaughter?!"
Ignaz gripped the Blood Thunder War Spear and charged toward the six Dark Gold Three-Headed Bats ahead.
"Blood Sea Fishy: Mad Wave Triangle Defense."
The Blood Thunder War Spear pressed close to his body, spinning rapidly to form a shield that deflected all attacks until Ignaz broke through the defensive line formed by the six Dark Gold Three-Headed Bats.
Ignaz rapidly flew toward the exit less than a hundred meters away. Within two seconds, his figure completely disappeared into the white vortex, and the ten Dark Gold Three-Headed Bats suddenly stopped their pursuit, roaring helplessly throughout the entire Road to Hell.
...
Several hours later, as the sky entered dusk,
Ignaz, who had been slumped weakly against a giant tree a hundred meters tall, slowly stood up from the ground. His hand had already been completely healed by his soul bone.
Suddenly, his mind felt very heavy. Just as he was about to collapse, Ignaz quickly summoned his Blood Thunder War Spear.
"Bang—"
The Blood Thunder War Spear became extremely heavy, and about one-fifth of the absorbed blood essence had been drained away.
This phenomenon made Ignaz extremely uncomfortable. Although the blood dragon inside the spear that had completed its evolution wasn't affected, his blood spear was no longer as responsive as before.
You should know that even when he was weak, the Blood Thunder War Spear could adjust its weight according to his condition so he could control it well.
But now, not only had a large amount of absorbed blood essence been drained away, the spear could no longer move according to his will.
This phenomenon didn't require careful thought to understand - it was definitely the work of the Slaughter God Domain obtained after passing through the Road to Hell.
But could one martial soul allow two domains to exist simultaneously?
Ignaz didn't know the answer and could only sit cross-legged to carefully examine the changes occurring within himself. After a long period of exploration, what he most feared had indeed happened.
Although these two domains had extremely compatible attributes, they were competing with each other for adaptation rights to the Blood Thunder War Spear.
Since the Emperor Slaying Domain was the Blood Thunder War Spear's innate domain, after undergoing a round of domain evolution, it had already gained an advantage in the domain competition.
Although the Slaughter God Domain was only the elementary version, it was at least the initial form of a divine domain. So, according to Ignaz's subjective speculation,
Once he activated the Slaughter God Domain, the Emperor Slaying Domain would very likely be completely assimilated by the Slaughter God Domain, or even obliterated.
Ignaz's eyes were full of worry, and he couldn't help but sigh:
"Alas, this slaughter journey has been bittersweet!"
When one martial soul developed two domains, it would naturally affect the martial soul's usage.
At this moment, a deep yet domineering voice suddenly transmitted into Ignaz's mind:
"Boy, you've obtained the Slaughter God Domain and earned the right to inherit my divine position."
"Who? Who exactly are you? Stop playing ghost tricks!"
Although Ignaz had long suspected that the Asura God would appear, he still had to act frightened.
"Do not be afraid. I am the Asura God, enforcer of the Divine Realm. The Slaughter City is the inheritance ground I deliberately left behind before ascending to godhood."
At this moment, the Asura God in the Divine Realm patiently explained further to Ignaz:
"I am one of the most powerful deities. The Slaughter God Domain, now bound to your martial soul, is the most basic qualification for inheriting a divine position."
"Young man, you are very fortunate. Will you inherit my divine position?"
At this moment, the Asura God, watching Ignaz's surprised expression through the Lower Realm Mirror, became even more expectant about what would follow.
As long as Ignaz spoke the word "yes," then he, the Asura God, would soon be able to lay down his burden, regain his freedom, and visit whichever star domain he wished to explore.
