The Killing Intent Dugu Feng possessed when he first entered Slaughter City was like the difference between stars and the bright moon compared to what he wielded now.
In Slaughter City, every life taken condensed more Killing Intent.
This evil-tainted Killing Intent constantly eroded a Soul Master's mental power.
But Dugu Feng had comprehended the Azure Phosphorus Scarlet Venom, using poison to counter poison. Only thus could he accumulate Killing Intent while maintaining clarity.
At this moment, his spirit surged, and he raised both hands.
Road to Hell, here I come!
"Congratulations, young Poison Demon King!"
The King of Slaughter's low, piercing voice echoed from all directions.
The Killing Intent throughout the entire Slaughter Arena vanished instantly, forced back into each Soul Master's body.
A figure clad in a blood-red cape descended from the sky, hovering above the Hell Slaughter Arena.
"I am delighted to witness the birth of a God of Slaughter today. He is the Poison Demon King, an exceptionally young Great Soul Master who shall become Slaughter City's honored guest.
Poison Demon King, I shall now open the Road to Hell for you. It will be a terrifying trial. Are you prepared?"
As the King of Slaughter drew closer to Dugu Feng, intense Killing Intent radiated from him.
"I welcome any trial!" Dugu Feng declared firmly.
Hearing this, the King of Slaughter hesitated no longer.
Concentrated rings of crimson mist erupted outward—a fusion of sinister energy and Killing Intent.
The aura was unnaturally frigid.
Like red ripples, the mist spread across the spectator stands, instantly enveloping every onlooker.
The bone-chilling cold and overwhelming evil energy drove the watching powerhouses into agonized howls.
Their minds corrupted by the sinister energy, they descended into complete madness.
Each tore at their own bodies with their full strength.
Amidst the chorus of self-inflicted screams, the entire Hell Slaughter Arena was painted red with blood.
Blood rained down from the stands, forming rivulets that flowed toward the central arena.
"My subjects, you are the most fortunate! You have witnessed the opening of the Road to Hell—this is your glory!"
Dugu Feng cursed inwardly—what madness! What glory? They'd sacrificed their lives, and he called it glory?!
A red glow ignited in the King of Slaughter's palm, channeling into the ground.
All the blood on the floor gradually coalesced into the pattern of the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King.
To Dugu Feng's shock, the bat pattern solidified, becoming a physical entity like a Spirit Beast.
The bat fluttered through the air before suddenly diving down, engulfing Dugu Feng completely.
His mind wavered as he sensed the overwhelming tide of sinister energy and mental poison.
Simultaneously, boundless Killing Intent erupted from his body.
From before entering Slaughter City to achieving a hundred victories within, endless Killing Intent had accumulated within him.
This Killing Intent had fused with his very being.
Now, under the pressure of the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King, the Killing Intent condensed into white ripples—a protective barrier isolating him from the bat's crimson embrace.
This was pure Killing Intent!
Dugu Feng experienced a moment of enlightenment!
At the same time, he felt somewhat fortunate. If he hadn't comprehended the Azure Phosphorus Scarlet Venom, his spirit wouldn't have been able to withstand it when all the Killing Intent within him surged out.
Under normal circumstances, this Killing Intent contained spiritual poison and evil energy.
His spiritual power contained the Azure Phosphorus Scarlet Venom, which was also a spiritual poison—a toxin he could control. It provided him with excellent protection and could counteract the evil energy eroding his body by using poison to attack poison.
As a result, the Killing Intent on him became pure Killing Intent.
Originally, the legacy left by the God of Slaughter was meant to form pure Killing Intent. However, the God of Slaughter had left a hidden trap, causing all inheritors to absorb Killing Intent that wasn't pure.
Thus, they fell under the control of the King of Slaughter.
Just like earlier, when everyone was influenced by the evil energy of the King of Slaughter and directly sacrificed themselves.
Dugu Feng contemplated this layer of white ripples—this Killing Intent would eventually form the Slaughter God Domain.
It would become his first domain.
After an unknown amount of time, Dugu Feng's feet touched solid ground. He opened his eyes to find that the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King around him had disappeared, and the white Killing Intent had settled within his body.
He now stood on a circular platform about five meters in diameter.
This was the Road to Hell.
Dugu Feng looked down from the platform and saw a faint red glow below. His heart tightened—this was the core Blood Pool of Slaughter City.
It contained all the Bloody Mary of Slaughter City and was the energy source of the Slaughter Domain.
Of course, for the King of Slaughter, it was also the energy for his cultivation.
The King of Slaughter had a pale face and blood-red eyes—his true form was the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King.
Bats naturally fed on blood, and this blood was its best nourishment.
Below the platform was the Blood Pool, while ahead lay a narrow path barely wide enough for two feet to stand side by side.
Tang San and Hu Liena had walked along this path before encountering attacks from bats, relying on Tang San's hidden weapons to pass this first trial.
Dugu Feng chuckled lightly as two small snakes hovered in the air.
They were the Nine-Section Jadeite, which he hadn't used in a long time.
The bodies of the Nine-Section Jadeite were only about five inches long.
Who would have thought these were two thousand-year Spirit Beasts?
Dugu Feng had spent nearly two years in Slaughter City, during which his own strength had risen to the 27th rank.
With the help of the Core Pearl, the cultivation ages of the two Nine-Section Jadeite had grown to four thousand years.
They were now two powerful Spirit Beasts.
Dugu Feng leaped and stood atop the two Nine-Section Jadeite.
"Let's go!"
The Nine-Section Jadeite acted like two wind-fire wheels, carrying Dugu Feng as they flew off the platform and descended.
Flying was no issue for him.
He didn't need to traverse the narrow path like Tang San had.
The distance from the platform to the Blood Pool was about a thousand meters—not too high.
The further down they went, the more intense the scorching sensation became, with the temperature steadily rising.
By the time they were five hundred meters away, Dugu Feng could already clearly see the Blood Pool below with his naked eyes.
The Blood Pool appeared calm, with wisps of mist covering its surface, indicating its abnormally high temperature.
Dugu Feng pondered for a moment before opening his mouth and producing two Core Pearls.
With a wave of his hand, he threw one of them down.
The Core Pearl fell into the Blood Pool.
The high temperature of the Blood Pool didn't harm the Core Pearl.
Instead, the Core Pearl absorbed streams of blood-red energy.
His mind immediately sank into the Core Pearl, sensing carefully.
The energy absorbed by the Core Pearl wasn't poison—it resembled flesh and blood energy?
After all, this was a Blood Pool formed from Bloody Mary.
But this energy was extremely violent, truly worthy of being the core energy of Slaughter City.
Dugu Feng felt it was absolutely unsuitable for him to absorb.
He decisively let another Core Pearl be absorbed by a Nine-Section Jadeite.
Instantly, a warm current seeped out from the Core Pearl, merging into the Nine-Section Jadeite's body.
The Nine-Section Jadeite's lively eyes showed extreme contentment as this continuous stream of energy, purified by the Core Pearl, was fully absorbed by it.
"It seems this place is a blessed land for the Nine-Section Jadeite. I wonder if it can undergo another major evolution!"
Dugu Feng's mind was clear, filled with anticipation.
