Soon, under Tang Hao's guidance, Tang San went to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a Soul Ring.
However, the two only reached the Mixed Zone. After searching for a while in the Mixed Zone, they finally found a fifteen-thousand-year-old Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, which was a top-grade serpent-type soul beast.
According to the plan Yu Xiaogang and Tang Hao had for Tang San, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass would primarily focus on control and poison attributes. The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor was a top-grade serpent-type soul beast, especially powerful in poison attributes, and could also enhance the control ability of the Blue Silver Grass.
Originally, Tang San wanted to see Xiao Wu, but he was only a Soul King at the moment, far from meeting Tang Hao's requirements. Ultimately, under Tang Hao's arrangement, he returned to the waterfall to continue cultivating.
Tang San's subsequent cultivation involved using the Clear Sky Hammer under the waterfall, preventing the waterfall from reaching the pool nearby.
After receiving guidance from Tang Hao, Tang San began cultivating again with full confidence.
...
Time flew by quickly, and another year passed.
During this year, Yang Xiong basically participated in a Hell Slaughter Arena match every ten days or so, spending the rest of the time comprehending Killing Intent, especially controlling the changes in his body and Martial Soul.
As the number of victories in the Hell Slaughter Arena increased, the Killing Intent on Yang Xiong became heavier and heavier. Especially after the number of victories in the Hell Slaughter Arena reached ninety, he seemed to become extremely irritable, even viewing human lives as insignificant as ants.
This was still due to the significant increase in Yang Xiong's mental power, coupled with the special nature of his Body Martial Soul. Otherwise, he would have likely lost control completely long ago.
Even though Yang Xiong didn't cultivate much this year, under the terrifying Killing Intent of Slaughter City, his soul power increased by another two levels.
Now Yang Xiong was at level fifty-seven, only four levels higher than when he entered Slaughter City, but his overall strength had significantly increased. Especially the Killing Intent, Sword Qi, and Martial Soul on his body had begun to gradually merge, making him seem like a wild beast, or like an exceptionally violent peerless fierce sword.
Especially when he participated in the ninety-ninth match, the Killing Intent on his body seemed to have reached its peak, and as the Killing Intent entered his body, his mind also seemed to be gradually affected, as if he could be controlled by the Killing Intent at any moment.
At times like these, the Tai Chi Meditation method played a very good role. Tai Chi is based on the Yin and Yang of heaven and earth, representing the simplest truth of the great Dao in the world.
His entire spiritual sea also underwent earth-shattering changes. The original Silver giant appeared incredibly strange, even its eyes had turned crimson, and the entire spiritual sea was like a sea of blood.
In a certain room in Slaughter City, the Slaughter King looked exceptionally serious, and standing beside him was the Black-Clothed Girl from before.
The Black-Clothed Girl seemed a little nervous: "Lord Slaughter King, do we need to deal with this Hegemon of the World contestant? He has already won ninety-nine matches, only one more to open the Hell Road."
"Once the Hell Road is opened, it will be the biggest loss for our Slaughter City in recent years."
The Slaughter King asked in return: "Do you think this Hegemon of the World can pass through the Hell Road?"
The Black-Clothed Girl thought carefully before speaking: "It's hard to say. This Hegemon of the World contestant has shown very strong power, and he is extremely cold and ruthless. However, he has participated in 99 matches and hasn't lost control like ordinary people, which means he has some reliance, or there is something extraordinary about him. You know, ordinary people basically start to lose control gradually after participating in 50 matches."
The Slaughter King said: "Forget it, if this person is not someone we recruit, let him open the Hell Road."
The Black-Clothed Girl was a little puzzled: "Are we just going to ignore the losses of Slaughter City? The appearance of every Slaughter God is like a disaster. Slaughter City cannot withstand such losses."
The Slaughter King snorted coldly: "Don't forget our position. Slaughter City does not allow anyone to attack fallen ones with more than 50 victories, otherwise both you and I will be punished. After all, this world is not decided by me. We are just supervisors arranged by that Lord."
...
This time, a full month passed before Yang Xiong almost completely controlled the Killing Intent on his body. The Killing Intent already showed a faint tendency to evolve, and his entire body was covered with strange patterns, as if it could truly undergo a transformation at any moment.
On the Hell Slaughter Arena, everyone was cheering endlessly.
Yang Xiong appeared exceptionally calm and exceptionally cold, resolving opponents like a Slaughter God. When all nine enemies had fallen, the scene instantly became like a boiling ocean.
All the fallen ones were cheering loudly, as if witnessing some great moment.
"Hundred wins, hundred wins!"
At this moment, a strange voice came, "Congratulations, young Hegemon of the World contestant."
Yang Xiong's face was startled when he heard this. His entire body's killing intent seemed to be completely out of control at this moment, and it even felt like the killing intent was about to backfire.
Yang Xiong quickly used the Tai Chi Meditation method, raising his mental power to the extreme, which finally suppressed the killing intent that wanted to backfire.
A strangely eerie figure appeared in the sky. This person appeared incredibly tall, wearing a scarlet cloak, with a pair of huge bat wings on his back.
This person's face was extremely pale, and his pair of scarlet eyes seemed to regard everyone in the world as ants. If one looked closely, his face and hands were already covered in demonic patterns.
Yang Xiong knew very well that this person should be the Slaughter King, who was also the former Sect Leader of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Chen, lost in the Slaughter City.
All the fallen people present immediately cheered, "Slaughter King, Slaughter King!"
The Slaughter King looked at Yang Xiong, "My people, I am very happy today. All of us have witnessed the birth of a hundred victories in the Hell Slaughter Arena. The Hegemon of the World contestant has made everyone tremble with his powerful strength and terrifying killing intent."
"Hegemon of the World, you have made me feel this excitement once again. To reward your achievement, I have decided to exceptionally grant you the title of Slaughter God. From now on, you can freely enter and exit the Slaughter City and will be respectfully invited as a guest elder of the Slaughter City, second only to myself."
Yang Xiong's face remained exceptionally calm, "Thank you, Lord Slaughter King. I still hope to obtain the title of Slaughter God through my own strength. I cannot break the rules of the Slaughter City because of me. Please help me open the Hell Road."
The Slaughter King's expression froze, "Hegemon of the World, do you know the danger of the Hell Road? The terror of the Hell Road is absolutely far beyond your imagination."
Yang Xiong said, "Thank you for your concern, Lord Slaughter King. My mind is made up."
The Slaughter King's voice instantly became colder, "Very well, since you are determined to walk the Hell Road, I will grant your wish."
Scarlet mist emanated from the Slaughter King's body. The mist seemed to be filled with evil energy, making even Yang Xiong feel a chill run down his spine.
Yang Xiong quickly dodged the Slaughter King's red mist, but it was clear that the mist was not aimed at Yang Xiong. In just the blink of an eye, the mist had spread throughout the entire field.
The fallen people in the audience were incredibly excited, especially when the red mist began to gradually envelop their bodies. They seemed to be stimulated by something, and their bodies seemed to gradually become sluggish.
As the red mist grew heavier, all the spectators in the Hell Slaughter Arena fell into madness. At this moment, they seemed to have completely lost their minds, just like wild beasts.
As time slowly passed, the people in the Hell Slaughter Arena screamed desperately, tearing at the people around them, even if they were severely injured, they seemed to have lost all sensation.
The entire Hell Slaughter Arena instantly became like hell. Blood flowed throughout the entire Hell Slaughter Arena, especially on the central arena of the Hell Slaughter Arena, where all the blood seemed to gather around the arena.
Moreover, as the blood poured in, patterns actually appeared on the originally smooth arena. The blood flowed along the patterns onto the arena, finally forming a huge blood-red pattern.
It was a huge bat, looking incredibly strange and incredibly ferocious at this moment.
Especially, Yang Xiong felt that the entire Hell Slaughter Arena at this moment was like a terrifying giant beast, not only devouring everyone's blood but also devouring everyone's souls.
When the red bat mark was completely formed, its eyes emitted a captivating light. Yang Xiong only felt a splitting headache, and his entire mental power seemed to be completely crushed.
Immediately after, the surrounding space seemed to begin to collapse piece by piece, and his entire body was in a state of weightlessness. If he hadn't possessed terrifying killing intent, he would have probably turned into ashes in this instant, but the powerful aura also caused Yang Xiong to fall into a coma.
When Yang Xiong opened his eyes again, the surroundings had changed. He was no longer in the Hell Slaughter Arena. Everything around him seemed to be blood-red. Below his feet was a platform about 5 meters wide, which looked somewhat like an altar.
Apart from this five-meter platform, the rest of the area was a bottomless abyss. In addition, there was only a small path about half a foot wide, which seemed to only accommodate his feet. Apart from that, the entire space was in darkness.
Yang Xiong used his Purple Demon Eyes to carefully observe the area below. The entire area below was filled with blood-red liquid, which looked very similar to the Bloody Mary in the Slaughter City.
Yang Xiong thought carefully. It was the same here as in the Slaughter City; he couldn't use Soul Ring and Soul Bone skills at all. But he didn't think too much about it and didn't care about the blood river below his feet. He directly started walking along the small path.
This was the only way out of the entire Hell Road. There was no other exit. However, Yang Xiong vaguely felt that the blood river seemed to have some inexplicable attraction to him, especially as it seemed to be attracting his Martial Soul.
This small path was very narrow, which was the legendary Hell Road.
But after Yang Xiong created the Eight Trigrams Steps, his body had become incredibly stable, and his movements were very methodical, without any unnecessary actions.
After walking along the Hell Road for a while, the surrounding temperature began to gradually rise, and the distance to the blood river seemed to be getting closer and closer.
Especially, the blood river seemed to emit some kind of aura that could easily make people lose their way.
However, neither the rising temperature nor the toxins in the air were anything to Yang Xiong, who had undergone Ice Fire Body Tempering.
