A tall man slowly descended from the sky. His entire body was shrouded in a red cloak, revealing only a deathly pale face and a pair of red eyes.
The moment the King of Slaughter appeared, both the members of the Empire's Blade and Tang San were certain of one thing: the King of Slaughter was a powerful Title Douluo.
Hovering five meters above the ground, the King of Slaughter stopped his descent.
Hu Liena and the others immediately jumped down from the stands, standing behind Qian Renyue, watching the King of Slaughter with serious expressions, while simultaneously releasing their killing intent.
The King of Slaughter ignored them, instead spreading his arms wide and proclaiming, "I am delighted to witness the birth of five formidable warriors in the Slaughter Arena today. The unparalleled prowess, unmatched for decades, has been displayed in these young men. They have made you tremble with their immense strength and terrifying killing intent, haven't they, my people?"
"Yes—, yes—, yes—" The King of Slaughter seemed to possess a unique charisma, inspiring a near-frenzied worship in all who beheld him.
"Yueyue, it's poison. Everyone be careful." Dugu Yan's voice rang in their ears, a sharp, almost imperceptible tone. Therefore, the King of Slaughter was unaware of this.
The King of Slaughter lowered his head, looking at Qian Renyue and the others. "Messengers of Hell. Thank you for letting me feel the presence of passion again. To commend your achievements, I have decided to exceptionally bestow upon you the title of God of Slaughter. From now on, you can freely enter and leave the City of Slaughter, and you will be invited to serve as guest elders of the City of Slaughter, under my command."
Qian Renyue spoke first, "No need. Great King of Slaughter. We cannot break the rules of the City of Slaughter because of you. I am willing to pass the test of the Hell Road and receive your reward again. I hope to rely on my own strength to walk out of here and become a true God of Slaughter."
The King of Slaughter's eyes narrowed. "You probably don't know the terror of the Hell Road. Messenger of Hell, I hope you understand that a person's life is only once."
Qian Renyue sneered, "Great King of Slaughter, is it a bit ridiculous for you to talk to me about life? This is a world of slaughter."
The King of Slaughter looked at Qian Renyue and the others with hostility, but thinking of the Spirit Hall behind them, the King of Slaughter still chose to compromise.
A ring of pale red light emanated from the King of Slaughter. "Since that's the case, then you shall walk this Hell Road. If you are fortunate enough to pass through Hell Road, please give my regards to your elders."
Qian Renyue could hear the King of Slaughter's cold and sarcastic tone. Indeed, it was called the Hell Road, especially since it was so easy to traverse. The danger involved was self-evident; if anything went wrong, the future of the Spirit Hall would be ruined here.
Hearing that Qian Renyue was willing to offend the King of Slaughter to walk the Hell Road, Tang San was somewhat shocked. His father had sent him here to obtain a hundred victories, but hadn't told him what he was to gain. Was his father's plan also to send him on the Hell Road? Tang San realized that the reward for passing the Hell Road was probably his father's ultimate purpose in sending him. Tang San secretly made up his mind. He had to obtain a hundred victories as soon as possible to pass the Hell Road.
Dense red mist emanated from the King of Slaughter, his immense aura forcing everyone to take a few steps back. The extreme evil aura instilled an instinctive disgust in Qian Renyue, who was participating in the Trial of Life, and she attempted to summon the Staff of Life to resist the nauseating odor.
However, Qian Renyue endured it with her strong willpower. If she summoned the Staff of Life prematurely, all her previous efforts would be in vain.
The Fallen Ones in the audience cheered excitedly, watching with thrills as the evil, cold red ripples spread in concentric circles. In the blink of an eye, they had spread to the entire arena.
The Fallen Ones, who had been cheering wildly, gradually fell silent as the red light descended onto the viewing platform. The eyes of each Fallen One gradually became dull, then turned bloodshot. Before long, when the red light formed a huge barrier across the entire Hellish Slaughter Arena, painful screams began to emanate from those who had first come into contact with the red light.
Hearing the Fallen Ones' screams of pain, Qian Renyue suddenly remembered that in the original story, the Hell Road that Tang San and Hu Liena went to was opened only by the King of Slaughter sacrificing all the audience members present.
As expected, influenced by the red light, about half of the Fallen Ones present went mad, frantically scratching their faces and bodies. Affected by the red light, they gradually perished in their euphoria.
The members of the Blade of the Empire, witnessing this, felt their accumulated killing intent from over a hundred victories begin to erupt uncontrollably. Just as they were about to lose control and their intense killing intent was about to explode, the red light dissipated.
Qian Renyue looked towards the audience; Tang San, who had been watching, was nowhere to be seen.
"To become a sacrifice for the opening of the Hell Road is their honor," the King of Slaughter's deep voice rang out.
Everyone looked around; apart from the King of Slaughter and the members of the Blade of the Empire, everyone else had become a sacrifice for the opening of the Hell Road. Of course, there was also Tang San, who had been carried away by the woman in the black veil.
The blood of the Fallen Ones flowed into the Hell Slaughter Arena, creating grooves in the ground into which the blood flowed. The blood gradually coalesced into a giant bat pattern on the ground.
"Good luck on your journey to Hell," the King of Slaughter's voice rang out.
"Xie Yue, Nana. Protect yourselves, the rest of you are in your hands," Qian Renyue said hastily to the others as she saw the blood-red bat's eyes light up.
With Qian Renyue's words, a soaring red light enveloped everyone, and everything around them seemed to disappear.
Just as they were about to vanish, Qian Renyue suddenly opened her eyes, flashed out of the red light, and appeared before the King of Slaughter.
The members of the Imperial Blade team then embarked on their journey to Hell.
"Hi, esteemed King of Slaughter. It's really difficult to see you," Qian Renyue said with a pout.
"Aren't you going to walk the Hell Road?" The King of Slaughter was slightly surprised, but quickly regained his indifferent demeanor.
"I have something important to discuss with you," Qian Renyue said with a smile.
"Oh?" The King of Slaughter looked at the small human before him with interest.
"Should I address you as Lord Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King, or Sect Master Tang Chen?" Qian Renyue asked, staring at the pale face of the King of Slaughter.
"Insolence!" Crimson light instantly enveloped Qian Renyue, but was instantly shattered by the purple light just before it touched her.
"Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King, I know you have a way to contact that person. I, Qian Renyue, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, request an audience with Lord Rakshasa God." Qian Renyue's smile faded, and she spoke calmly.
