In the final match, Ye Yu won, and Hu Liena also achieved a hundred victories.
"Congratulations, you now qualify to enter Hell Road."
At that moment, the sky above the Slaughter Arena was filled with blood clouds, extremely oppressive, causing everyone but Ye Yu to tremble.
From within the blood clouds, a figure wearing a Blood Robe descended, and instantly, the audience in the Slaughter Arena and the entire City of Slaughter cheered, revered, and worshiped.
"King of Slaughter! King of Slaughter!"
This was the king of the City of Slaughter.
The King of Slaughter said with satisfaction, "I am pleased, this year there are two who have achieved a hundred victories. King of Hell, Hell Messenger, you are the best. To commend you, I will exceptionally grant you the title of God of Slaughter now, without needing to enter Hell Road to obtain it. Are you willing?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yu bluntly said, "I still want to go through Hell Road for some training."
Hu Liena also nodded, sharing the same sentiment as Ye Yu.
Both understood what the King of Slaughter thought, not wanting them to possess the Slaying God Domain. They came here for the Slaying God Domain, not just for the title.
The King of Slaughter reminded, "Hell Road is dangerous, even for you it is a matter of life and death. Why not play it safe? After all, one only has one life."
Ye Yu laughed, "King of Slaughter, talking about life here is a bit ridiculous—this is a world of slaughter."
Although the King of Slaughter was displeased, he dared not offend Ye Yu, considering Ye Yu's father was far more terrifying than Tang Hao, so he did not dare to get angry.
"That's too bad, then let me open Hell Road."
The King of Slaughter released a terrifying aura—not killing intent, but an extremely evil aura, causing everyone but Ye Yu to shiver uncontrollably.
Seeing Ye Yu remain unaffected, he was sure this was the Child of Apocalypse, unaffected by his evil influence.
The evil, chilling aura spread like red waves, immediately causing wailing screams, and all spectators in the Slaughter Arena self-destructed into a pool of blood.
The blood fell to the ground, slithering like snakes towards the King of Slaughter's feet.
An intense blood light congregated and shone, the ground opened, and the King of Slaughter said coolly, "To become sacrifices to open Hell Road, this is your glory."
Hell Road was opened, and the King of Slaughter smiled slightly, "Good luck to you."
In truth, he sincerely hoped Ye Yu and Hu Liena would not succeed.
Ye Yu jumped in first, followed closely by Hu Liena.
Below, Ye Yu remained calm, Hu Liena was shaken.
They were on a narrow, slender path, only enough for one person to stand, with a bottomless abyss on either side.
After a thousand meters, they could already see blood rivers below on either side.
Suddenly, swarms of blood-colored bats flew over, incredibly fast and aggressive.
Ye Yu attacked, sweeping out with terrifying force, so that the bats couldn't get close at all.
Ye Yu continued forward, but for Hu Liena it became troublesome.
Ye Yu went a thousand meters forward, before him in the air hung a larger bat, obviously the leader.
This bat, like an eagle, had three dark gold heads—it was the Dark Gold Three-headed Bat.
Here, Soul Techniques could be used, this Dark Gold Three-headed Bat was akin to a Soul Saint, certainly no match for Ye Yu.
The Dark Gold Three-headed Bat charged forward, astonished at Ye Yu's immense strength.
Ye Yu couldn't quickly resolve it because the bat had strong regenerative abilities; two heads burst, it would devour a few bats and recover again.
Simultaneously, swarms of innumerable bats charged in, impossible to count.
This scale was equivalent to an army composed of tens of thousands of Soul Emperors, so even Ye Yu found it taxing, unable to resolve it quickly.
Ye Yu was aware of the difficulty of Hell Road, but to eliminate these bats, it's a matter of time; he could manage long battles.
However, Ye Yu still wanted to try and see if he could scare them.
Ye Yu directly released the Origin of Evil, as he expected, the bats felt the aura and panicked and fled in terror.
These creatures of the City of Slaughter, of Hell, were inherently evil. Sensing the Origin of Evil, they were like mice seeing a cat.
Ye Yu released the Origin of Evil, paving an unimpeded path ahead.
In addition, he encountered a Hydra, entirely red, still frightened and fleeing.
If others who had been on Hell Road saw this, they would be dumbfounded; Ye Yu walked Hell Road as if strolling down an ordinary street.
In the distant back, Hu Liena was in great danger, fighting a difficult battle, starkly contrasting.
As they progressed, the blood river nearly bordered the path, bubbling like lava.
The surrounding temperature was scorching hot; an ordinary person would melt instantly, yet Ye Yu was unaffected.
At the same time, this blood river influenced people's minds; prolonged exposure to the City of Slaughter makes one irritable, filled with a slaughter aura, driving one to lose rationality and know only killing instead of advancing, engaging with the endless nearby life in battle.
This was the terrifying aspect; the horror wasn't the bats or the hydra, but the increasing influence of the blood river as one progressed.
However, Ye Yu's Spiritual Power was extremely strong, leaving him unaffected.
At this moment, at the other end of Hell Road's exit, the King of Slaughter and a cold woman waited.
The woman was apprehensive, "King? Do you think they can succeed?"
"King of Hell might make it, but for the Hell Messenger, the challenge is great."
"King, though he's strong, the more terrifying the slaughter aura, the less advantageous he is inside. I don't think he can pass either."
The woman's words resonated with the King of Slaughter, considering Ye Yu's terrifying nature, making his slaughter aura most terrifying, which in turn led to greater susceptibility to the blood river's influence inside.
The King of Slaughter nodded, "Hell Road isn't easily passed; many have won a hundred victories over millennia, but only eight have passed, all now well-known individuals. Even Tang Hao at that time barely survived by the skin of his teeth, and he was over thirty. Although King of Hell is more outstanding, he's only sixteen, making Hell Road extremely arduous."
"King of Slaughter, hearing you makes me suspect I didn't walk Hell Road—it wasn't difficult at all."
A voice sounded, instantly startling the expressions on the King of Slaughter and the cold woman.
A flash of blood light revealed Ye Yu, with the bloody expanse of Hell Road behind him.
Ye Yu emerged, blood light dissipated, and the passage closed.
Seeing Ye Yu unharmed, the King of Slaughter and the cold woman were astounded.
"How… how could it be, how could he emerge so quickly?" the cold woman exclaimed.
The King of Slaughter was equally bewildered; previously, those who passed came out ragged and weak, spending long hours, with Tang Hao's record being three days and nights.
He checked the time; Ye Yu took less than ten minutes from entry to exit.
The King of Slaughter was horrified, "How did you come out so fast? I can confirm you emerged from Hell Road."
"Is that so? Well, then it seems Hell Road is nothing much, not hell at all, no different than an ordinary road."
The King of Slaughter: "..."
