"Does the Hell Messenger also wish to enter the Hell Road together with the Calamity White Tiger?"
The thought of Bibi Dong extinguished all fear in Hu Liena. Her gaze firm and resolute, she nodded and declared, "Yes, esteemed King of Slaughter, we are willing to become true Gods of Slaughter!"
"In all honesty, it has been a very long time since I have seen Soul Masters achieve one hundred consecutive victories in the Hell Slaughtering Fields.
To commend your achievement, I am willing to make an exception and bestow upon you the title of God of Slaughter. Furthermore, I will grant you the privilege of freely entering and exiting the Slaughter City. Concurrently, I am also willing to formally appoint you as Guest Ministers of my Slaughter City. I wonder, are the two of you amenable to this offer?"
"We extend our deepest thanks for the King of Slaughter's generous intentions!" The moment the King of Slaughter finished speaking, Dai Weisi responded without a second thought, startling Hu Liena with his quickness.
The King of Slaughter was overjoyed, assuming Dai Weisi had agreed to his proposal. After all, from his perspective, the fewer people who obtained the God of Slaughter Domain, the better.
Possessing the God of Slaughter Domain meant one could use soul skills within the Slaughter City, which posed an ever-increasing danger to the King of Slaughter—no, to be precise, to the Blood-red Nine-headed Bat King inhabiting Tang Chen's body.
Suddenly, however, Dai Weisi shifted his tone, continuing, "Esteemed King of Slaughter, we appreciate your kind intentions. But for millennia, every generation of the Gods of Slaughter has only earned that title after successfully passing through the Hell Road. We, naturally, do not wish to be an exception.
Furthermore, Lord King of Slaughter, there are countless other participants present who also wish to become Gods of Slaughter. If Your Lordship grants us this special exception, I fear it would be a lapse in impartiality.
I am concerned that such an act would damage the King of Slaughter's prestige and authority. Therefore, we humbly request Your Lordship to retract this offer. We are willing to venture onto the Hell Road and face its trials!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, even the King of Slaughter was momentarily rendered speechless, completely at a loss for words.
The main reason was that Dai Weisi's speech was just so damn clever. He had directly framed it as a matter of the King of Slaughter's own prestige, leaving the King unable to formulate a rebuttal, even if he wanted to.
Hu Liena, standing to the side, stared at Dai Weisi in astonishment. This is outrageously bold, she thought. To actually criticize the King of Slaughter? Where did he get this kind of courage?
After a long pause, the King of Slaughter pondered for a moment before speaking, "The Hell Road is exceptionally dangerous, you understand. Calamity White Tiger, are you truly certain? A person only has one life to live."
"The value of life lies in its burning passion. In my view, one should charge ahead and experience the world while young. If a person's life is spent like a stone, staring at the same small patch of land, what meaning is there in it, even if one achieves immortality?"
"Hehehe, how interesting!" Upon hearing this, the King of Slaughter revealed a smile of genuine interest, though to anyone else, the sound of his laughter was exceptionally horrifying.
"Since that is your wish, then you shall proceed to the Hell Road. I hope that once you are there, you can indeed prove the value of your lives!"
The moment his voice faded, the King of Slaughter waved his great hand. A dazzling, blood-red light erupted from his entire body, instantly enveloping the whole stadium.
As the blood-red light surged forth, a terrifying pressure instantly descended upon the entire Soul Fighting Stage. This pressure, however, was not directed at them, but instead covered the whole of the Hell Slaughtering Fields.
As that bizarre, scarlet light enveloped the Hell Slaughtering Fields, the degenerates in the audience, who had been watching the spectacle, suddenly grew dull-eyed. Their expressions became numb, and then, as if descending into utter madness, they began to frantically tear at their own bodies!
Dai Weisi watched with his own eyes as one degenerate, holding a sharp blade, hacked off his own arm. Scarlet blood sprayed out with a violent hiss, fanning out just like a showerhead.
But it wasn't over. That same degenerate continued to wave the sharp blade, cutting into his own body—his thigh, his calf, his eyes, his internal organs—and finally, he slit his own throat. The man transformed into a veritable human fountain, ceaselessly spraying his own blood everywhere.
And this was merely a microcosm of the tragedy. In fact, every single person located in the Hell Slaughtering Fields was relentlessly self-mutilating. Blood dyed the entire arena red. This was a true scene of carnage, with bodies blanketing the ground and blood flowing in rivers!
The thick, metallic stench of blood assaulted their nostrils, inducing waves of nausea. The sight caused Hu Liena to retch, nearly bringing up last night's dinner.
As for Dai Weisi, while he also felt a degree of revulsion, he had the prior experience of personally mincing the Porcupinefish Douluo into ground meat. That spectacle had been far more disgusting than any "human fountain," so his reaction was comparatively mild.
Opening his Ice and Fire Evil Eyes, Dai Weisi scanned the entire Hell Slaughtering Fields. He did not spot Tang San's figure anywhere, which couldn't help but make him feel a surge of regret.
"What a pity. It would have been perfect if that little bastard had also become one of the sacrifices here." Dai Weisi sighed regretfully. However, he also knew that with Tang Hao's command in place, the King of Slaughter would never dare to use Tang San as a sacrifice.
Massive quantities of blood surged onto the Soul Fighting Stage, converging on its surface to form the distinct pattern of a giant bat.
"The Hell Road has now opened. Calamity White Tiger, Hell Messenger... I wish you both good luck!"
The instant his voice faded, both Dai Weisi and Hu Liena felt the ground beneath their feet vanish, causing them to plummet uncontrollably downward! Simultaneously, a terrifying pressure washed over them, a force so violent it felt as if it would tear the two of them apart!
"Damn it! What in the world is happening?" Hu Liena cried out in terror.
"Don't panic! The Hell Road has opened, this is all a normal part of the process. Now, we just need to withstand this pressure. Use your Martial Soul Possession!"
"Right! Charm Fox, Possession!"
"Holy Venerable White Tiger, Possession!"
Two great shouts echoed. In an instant, both had released their Martial Souls. After activating her Charm Fox Possession, Hu Liena finally felt the crushing pressure ease slightly.
Dai Weisi, however, was entirely different. The moment his Martial Soul Possession activated, he could no longer feel any pressure at all.
His physical constitution was already immensely powerful, enhanced further by his six soul bones. Compounded by the amplification from the world's number one beast-type Martial Soul, his physical body had reached an extremely terrifying level. This small amount of pressure was fundamentally incapable of affecting him.
An unknown amount of time passed before the two of them landed together on a platform. The platform's area was not large, measuring only about five meters in diameter.
"It seems this is the Hell Road. Miss Hu Liena, from here on, as long as we eliminate the enemies on this path, we should be able to leave this place..."
As he spoke, Dai Weisi turned his head, preparing to traverse this Hell Road with Hu Liena. However, the instant his gaze fell upon her, the smile on his lips instantly froze solid.
He saw that surrounding Hu Liena, a blood-red slaughter qi was swirling. It was pouring through her pores, invading her internal organs and her mind, adversely affecting her consciousness.
The Hu Liena before him now had completely crimson eyes, and a streak of bloody tears trickled from their corners, making her look just like a malevolent demon emerging from the depths of hell.
"White Tiger Domain!"
Dai Weisi's eyes sharpened instantly. He abruptly activated his White Tiger Domain, and at the same moment, the imposing aura of the Supreme of Ten Thousand Beasts erupted forth, enveloping Hu Liena completely.
Upon feeling that terrifying aura, Hu Liena instantly regained her senses. She stared at Dai Weisi, her face pale with terror, and stammered, "I... what just happened to me?"
"You were being controlled by the slaughter qi in this place."
"Slaughter qi?"
"That's right. I think I generally understand how the God of Slaughter Domain is formed now," Dai Weisi explained. "This Hell Road is permeated with an incredibly intense slaughter qi. This qi enters our bodies through our pores and begins to merge with our very being.
Once we have absorbed a sufficient amount of this slaughter qi, it will coalesce to form the God of Slaughter Domain! That must be how it works."
