Chapter 219: Conquering the City of Slaughter, Su Yun Proceeds to Sea God Island
After dispatching the Terrifying Knight Scott with a single thrust of his spear, Su Yun didn't pause for even a moment. He lifted his gaze towards the distant black citadel, casually retrieving a token from the body before stepping forward, leaving the awe-struck guards of Terrifying Knight Scott behind, none daring to interfere.
Even their leader had been slain effortlessly by the seemingly fragile young man before themโwhat chance did they stand?
As Su Yun approached the city gates, rows of black-armored warriors were already standing on either side, seemingly there to welcome his arrival. As he neared, a woman clad in a black lace dress and a black veil emerged from the city. Her entire being exuded an eerie aura, and Su Yun could sense an unusual presence around her, possibly a protective measure set by the King of Slaughter himself.
"Welcome to the City of Slaughter, visitor number 8888 from the outer realms," the woman in the black dress greeted Su Yun with a practiced bow, her movements and expressions extremely polished. Yet, she couldn't help but be momentarily shocked by Su Yun's appearance; in her many years in the City of Slaughter, she had never seen such a handsome man.
"Iโฆ"
Before the woman could explain anything about the City of Slaughter, Su Yun interrupted her with a raised hand, his voice calm, "No need for pleasantries, just lead me to the Hell Killing Arena."
The woman's eyes flickered with a glint of sharpness at his words.
"How so? Is it not possible?" Su Yun asked, turning his head as he noticed the woman hadn't moved.
"Of course, it's possible." The woman stepped aside, gesturing for him to follow her, "Please, this way."
As they headed towards the Hell Killing Arena, Su Yun gathered some information about the arena from the woman, although he didn't particularly care for the details. He had already learned much more comprehensive information from his teacher, Bibi Dong, before arriving here.
"Here we are, Mr. 8888, this is the Hell Killing Arena," the woman finally stopped and looked back at Su Yun, "You need to pay a Bloody Mary to enter and participate in the contest."
"I know." Su Yun nodded, his soul guidance device flashing as he took his spear and skillfully flicked a Bloody Mary from someone's grasp, sending the person tumbling unconscious to the ground with a shockwave from his weapon.
"Take this and sign me up."
Handing the Bloody Mary to the woman, Su Yun then stepped into the Hell Killing Arena, leaving the woman staring at his retreating figure, her mind perhaps wandering through thoughts.
One month later.
Hell Killing Arena.
Su Yun emerged from the passage.
Instantly, the entire arena, as usual, erupted into a frenzy! The atmosphere peaked even before the fight began.
"Look! The Spear Demon! He's back!"
"Indeed, the Spear Demon! I heard he's on an eighty-nine win streak without a single loss!"
"I heard the Spear Demon arrived at the City of Slaughter just seven days ago and yet no one has been able to defeat him?!"
"Last night I saw dozens of men ambush the Spear Demon at his lodging, yet he skewered them like candied haws with his spear, killing them all!"
"Could it be that the Spear Demon aims to achieve a hundred victories and pass the Hell Road?!"
โฆ
Countless whispers spread among the spectators, discussing the real identity of this 'Spear Demon.'
Su Yun paid no heed to their words; he didn't even wear a mask as he entered the arena.
Thanks to the attributes of his martial spirit and the cultivation of the Taiyi Qingmu Jue, Su Yun's spirit power was as endless as the sea, making it effortless to face multiple opponents.
Initially, he fought only once a day, but gradually he increased the number of his matches, all resolved with ease.
In a place where spirit abilities were unusable, Su Yun was virtually invincible.
Even those who tried to ambush him at his dwelling were detected early by the Blue Silver Emperor seeds he had planted around, and then promptly impaled by his spear.
After effortlessly achieving ten consecutive victories that day, Su Yun returned to his lodging.
With just one more match left, he planned to finish the final fight the next day and clear the Hell Road in one go.
Tonight, he would rest well, for the Hell Road still housed a formidable ten-headed Sun Serpent.
Nighttime.
Su Yun was meditating on his bed.
With his current strength, he could maintain the automatic circulation of soul power in his body without sleep.
Normally, he slept out of habit.
Now, in the City of Slaughter, going without sleep for a few days posed no significant impact.
"Hmm?"
Su Yun's brow furrowed as he opened his eyes.
Looking towards the
firmly shut door, he spoke coldly, "Stay away if you don't want to die."
Recently, due to his formidable methods, no one dared approach his lodging anymore.
"I never expected someone would still dare to approach tonight. Did they think I would let my guard down before the final victory?"
"Mr. 8888, it is I, your guide," said the woman who spoke. Su Yun recognized her voice; it was the woman in the black dress he had encountered a few days ago.
Su Yun had anticipated her arrival, probably because the King of Slaughter was shocked by his bug-like behavior and also did not want him to pass through the hellish route.
"Really stingy..." Su Yun muttered to himself. It was just a domain of killing gods; over a thousand years, only Tang Hao and Bibi Dong had obtained it. They were so unwilling to let others have it, so he directly spoke, "I know your purpose. If you are here to persuade me not to enter the hellish route, then you can go back and tell the King of Slaughter that it's impossible. I need to rest. Please leave."
With that, Su Yun left the woman in the black dress stunned outside the door.
How did he know why I came?
However, hearing Su Yun's tone, the woman in the black dress knew that it was impossible to persuade Su Yun tonight, so she gave a meaningful look to the black armored soldiers beside her and returned the way they had come.
In the center of the City of Slaughter.
By a pool of blood.
"Great King of Slaughter, Mr. 8888 refused to come with me. He openly stated that he would not give up the hellish route, it seems he is determined to win the domain of the killing gods," the woman in the black dress spoke while kneeling devoutly at the feet of the King of Slaughter.
On a massive black chair, a figure shrouded in darkness responded indifferently, "If that's the case, then let him be."
"I sense an odd aura from him, not something I can interfere with. Do not stop him."
The woman in the black dress was slightly surprised.
She had served the King of Slaughter for many years and had never seen him show such an attitude toward an outsider.
Usually, only the two gods of killing could make the King of Slaughter slightly more amenable.
"Yes." The woman in the black dress, understanding the atmosphere, simply acknowledged and left discreetly.
The next day.
After defeating his enemies in front of everyone and achieving his hundredth victory, Su Yun was led by the King of Slaughter directly onto the hellish route.
Seeing the corpses all around, the woman in the black dress asked, "Great King of Slaughter, do you think he can pass through the hellish route?"
"With his strength, I doubt the hellish route can stop him."
"Are you sure?" the woman exclaimed, "There are two fierce beasts on that route!"
"You don't understand. I do not sense the aura of Bloody Mary from him."
"How is that possible?!" the woman was shocked again, "The Spear Demon has been in the City of Slaughter for a month. How could he survive without drinking Bloody Mary?!"
In the City of Slaughter, there were only two types of food: Bloody Mary or the corpses of criminals.
"His martial soul is special, allowing him to remain unaffected by my City of Slaughter," the King of Slaughter slowly closed his eyes, feeling everything in the hellish route before turning around.
"There's no need to wait any longer. The hellish route won't hold him for long. To him, we are just passersby."
"The world's third Killing God is about to emerge."
"Remember, if he ever appears in my City of Slaughter, he must be treated with respect."
The woman in the black dress dared not oppose, bowing her head, "Yes."
As expected by the King of Slaughter, half a day later, within a cave, Su Yun appeared.
Covered in blood, he opened his palm, and the inner cores of ten fiery serpents appeared in his hand.
"Just as I expected." Su Yun felt his body briefly; indeed, the domain of the killing gods was now attached to him.
The difficulty of the hellish route was a bit higher than he had anticipated, but not insurmountable. After exerting some effort and using The World once, Su Yun successfully passed through.
"My soul power has reached its peak at level sixty. It's time to obtain my sixth soul ring." Before heading to the City of Slaughter, Su Yun had asked Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to accompany him in hunting the sixth soul ring, but unfortunately, due to bad luck, they hadn't encountered many suitable soul beasts, so that had been temporarily put on hold.
"Ding!"
"Task: Find the lost Crown of the Blue Silver Emperor, and evolve the martial soul a second time."
"Reward: Essence of the Blue Silver Emperor (accelerates the Blue Silver Emperor's growth to maturity)."
"Time limit: One month."
"Task hint: The Crown of the Blue Silver Emperor was last seen near Sea God Island."
Suddenly, Su Yun heard the system task notification.
After reading the task thoroughly, Su Yun was surprised, as was Ah Yin.
"I never expected that the Crown of the Blue Silver Emperor actually existed?!" Ah Yin exclaimed in surprise, which also surprised Su Yun; he hadn't expected that there would be things Ah Yin didn't know about.
Ah Yin then explained, "The Crown of the Blue Silver Emperor is a sacred artifact of the Blue Silver clan, created by the life force of the first Blue Silver Emperor upon his death. Only the successive Blue Silver Emperors are eligible to use it, and the one possessing it will have supreme power!"
"It was rumored that the Crown of the Blue Silver Emperor had been lost for hundreds of thousands of years. I never expected it would be towards the ocean."
With that, Ah Yin looked at Su Yun, pleading, "Little Su Yun, you must help me find it."
Su Yun nodded.
Such a valuable item, how could he easily give it up?
Moreover, he remembered that according to the timeline, the will of the Sea God should have already been passed on to Tang San by now, though it was uncertain whether Tang San had accepted the inheritance and gone to Sea God Island.
On Sea God Island, if Tang San really had the inheritance of the Sea God and was under the protection of Poseidon, it would likely be impossible for him to kill Tang San.
"Tang San can be dealt with at any time; first, I need to get my hands on the Crown of the Blue Silver Emperor." Su Yun also planned to see if he could find a suitable soul beast on Sea God Island; perhaps under the sea, there might also be special soul beasts suitable for his sixth soul ring.
Without waiting any longer, Su Yun headed to the nearest port, found the nearest Spirit Hall, and had them prepare a ship for him to go to Sea God Island.
...
"Sea God Island?" Bibi Dong looked at the letter in her hand, her eyes narrowing slightly. "What is that boy doing there?"
As the Pope of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong naturally knew what kind of place Sea God Island was.
It was inhabited by people who worshiped the Sea God, mostly sea soul masters, and they were extremely unified and cohesive.
On Sea God Island, there was the great priest Poseidon, who was as renowned as Qiandao Liu, and deeply respected by the people.
She had once fought with Poseidon, and even she, as proud as she was, had to admit that within the domain of the sea, even with her twin spirits, she would have a hard time killing him without using her trump cards.
"I'm not sure, Your Holiness." Chrysanthemum Douluo stood below, head bowed. "Su Yun only said that he had urgent matters on Sea God Island but did not disclose everything."
He added, "Do we need to send someone to assist him?"
Bibi Dong shook her head: "Forget it, the boy has already obtained the domain of the God of Slaughter; we don't need to worry about him unnecessarily."
Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded slightly, saying no more.
Honestly, Chrysanthemum Douluo was shocked when he first received the letter.
After all, it had only been a few months since they sent Su Yun into the City of Slaughter; how could Su Yun possibly be sending a letter back?
Could it be that he never entered the City of Slaughter?
However, when he heard the Pope read the content of the letter and learned that Su Yun had obtained the domain of the God of Slaughter,
Chrysanthemum Douluo was utterly dumbfounded.
Taking into account the time it took for the letter to be sent, Su Yun had apparently cleared the City of Slaughter in just one month?!
What kind of speed was that?!
Chrysanthemum Douluo did not know that this was the result of Su Yun deliberately suppressing his speed; otherwise, with Su Yun's methods, he could probably clear it in half a month under extreme conditions.
"Although we let him do his own thing, we still need to keep a close watch on Sea God Island. After we deal with the two great empires, the next target will be Sea God Island."
Bibi Dong spoke seriously, issuing an order: "Chrysanthemum Douluo, select some people to infiltrate Sea God Island as our pawns. Once we have dealt with the two great empires, it will be time to activate them."
"Yes."
Chrysanthemum Douluo accepted the order and then quietly left the Pope's hall.
On the throne.
Bibi Dong looked at the content on the letter, a soft smile appearing on her face.
This disciple had given her another surprise.
Clearing the City of Slaughter in a month.
Probably neither she nor Tang Hao could have matched this feat back in their day.
As she felt a wave of emotion,
A shade of green that Bibi Dong did not notice flickered across the bottom of her eyes.
Unbeknownst to her, a voice echoed somewhere, but Bibi Dong did not notice it either.
How tempting...
