Chapter 336: Bibi Dong in Fury
"Eight Spirit Douluo?"
Bibi Dong raised her eyebrows, a little surprised.
One must know that even in the Spirit Hall, which was full of experts, an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo was second only to a Titled Elder. Even a Platinum Bishop was merely an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo, yet eight of them had perished in a single day.
"That's right, eight Spirit Douluo, and all of them were instantly killed.
Not only did the seven Spirit Douluo who didn't go die, but one of the Spirit Douluo who did go also died.
It seems Blood Asura didn't like him and ordered him to kneel in public. He was too slow to kneel, so Blood Asura used him to establish his authority in front of everyone.
Besides that, Blood Asura also subdued five Spirit Douluo, ordering them to find people to register for the Hell Slaughterfield every day, so that the two of them could quickly achieve a hundred consecutive victories."
The lanky man grew more and more excited as he spoke, as if Blood Asura was his idol.
Bibi Dong: "..."
"Is there anything else?"
Bibi Dong asked, frowning.
The lanky man had said a lot, but it was all nonsense.
Those who could achieve a hundred consecutive victories in the Hell Slaughterfield were naturally not weak, and being able to kill eight Spirit Douluo was not enough to shock Bibi Dong.
As for achieving a hundred consecutive victories in just over three months, both she and Tang Hao had the strength to do it back then; it was just that neither of them had thought of this method.
"Both of them look very young, the man is handsome, and the woman is beautiful.
I heard Blood Asura is an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo, and as for Blood Rakshasa, she seems to be a Five-Ring Soul King.
Oh, and Blood Asura's Spirit is a white bamboo stick, while Blood Rakshasa's Spirit is a red-furred fox."
Upon hearing Five-Ring Soul King and red-furred fox Spirit, Bibi Dong immediately thought of her disciple, Hu Liena.
No, her precious disciple was indeed a Five-Ring Soul King, but her Spirit was an orange-furred fox, not a red-furred fox.
Narrowing her eyes, Bibi Dong said, "Describe their appearances!"
"Blood Rakshasa is very beautiful, with orange hair…"
The lanky man spoke voluminously about Hu Liena and Ye Chen's appearances.
The more Bibi Dong listened, the more she realized that the Blood Rakshasa the lanky man spoke of was indeed her precious disciple, Hu Liena.
'If Blood Rakshasa is Nana, then who is Blood Asura?'
Bibi Dong couldn't quite figure it out. Although her precious disciple was very charming, she wasn't a casual person. How could she have found a little lover in just a few months?
'Wait, they both look very young, and a white bamboo stick Spirit… could it be Ye Chen?'
Initially, Bibi Dong hadn't connected it to Ye Chen, as Ye Chen's age was a factor; how could he become an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo so quickly? But aside from the spirit power level, it seemed only Ye Chen fit the description.
The two had known each other before, and Ye Chen had such good talent and was handsome. It wasn't impossible for her disciple to have taken a liking to him.
After a moment of thought, Bibi Dong closed her eyes and released her mental force to scan the entire Slaughter City.
A long while later~
'Sure enough, Nana's aura isn't here.'
At this point, Bibi Dong was certain that Blood Rakshasa was indeed her precious disciple, Hu Liena.
Suddenly, Bibi Dong focused her gaze on the sky in the northeast direction.
A black dot appeared in the northeast sky, rapidly approaching.
Soon, the Slaughter King, enveloped in a crimson cloak, appeared.
"Soul Eating Slaughter God, long time no see!"
The Slaughter King's deep and sharp voice echoed.
When Bibi Dong came to Slaughter City for training, she had already experienced the secret chamber incident and chosen to embrace darkness.
At that time, she was reckless in Slaughter City; the Fallen Ones who died by her hand were basically devoured by her second Spirit, the Soul Eating Spider Emperor, so she earned the title 'Soul Eating Emissary'.
After Bibi Dong obtained the Slaughter God Domain and became a Slaughter God, the Slaughter King respectfully referred to her as 'Soul Eating Slaughter God'.
"Is my disciple Blood Rakshasa?"
Bibi Dong had no interest in reminiscing with the Slaughter King and directly asked about her disciple.
"Indeed."
The Slaughter King nodded.
"Then who is Blood Asura?"
Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes, looking very much like a mother whose prized cabbage had been rooted up by a pig.
"I don't know him either, but he said his name is Ye Chen!"
The Slaughter King said in a deep voice.
"You scoundrel, Ye Chen!"
Instantly, Bibi Dong, having received confirmation, couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. Her golden scepter involuntarily struck the ground heavily.
One must know that Bibi Dong treated her disciple Hu Liena like her own daughter—no, even more affectionately than her biological daughter Qian Renxue!
From the perspective of a mother-in-law, Ye Chen had talent and good looks; he could be considered a 'worthy son-in-law'.
But as the saying goes, there is no gold without flaws, and no man is perfect. Ye Chen possessed both talent and good looks, but he was too promiscuous, having several girlfriends at such a young age, which did not fall within Bibi Dong's ideal son-in-law criteria.
Now that Ye Chen had quietly rooted up her precious disciple, how could Bibi Dong not be angry?
"Oh? It seems His Holiness the Supreme Pontiff is not very satisfied with this son-in-law?"
Looking at the furious Bibi Dong, the Slaughter King rarely showed a smile, speaking with a teasing tone.
"Hmph~, mind your own business!"
With a cold snort, Bibi Dong turned and left Slaughter City.
Her purpose in coming to Slaughter City was merely to visit her disciple Hu Liena. She just hadn't expected things to change so quickly and unexpectedly. Now, Hu Liena was already challenging the Hell Road.
Since the person wasn't there, Bibi Dong naturally wouldn't stay in Slaughter City any longer.
"Heh~, Slaughter God…"
Watching Bibi Dong's retreating figure, a murderous glint flashed in the Slaughter King's eyes.
...
Inside the Hell Road.
A soft murmur sounded, and Hu Liena, lying in Ye Chen's arms, awoke from her slumber.
"You're awake?"
Ye Chen asked with concern.
"Is this the legendary Hell Road?"
Looking around, seeing everything filled with a faint red hue, Hu Liena asked curiously.
"That's right, this is the Hell Road. Are you well-rested?"
"Mm-hm!"
"Then let's set off!"
Both Ye Chen and Hu Liena wanted to leave Slaughter City.
Among other things, the stone houses in Slaughter City simply couldn't compare to hotel rooms in the outside world.
"Nana, this path is so narrow, and we can't fly. It would be dangerous if we fell. How about I carry you!"
Glancing at the narrow, slender path, Ye Chen said earnestly to Hu Liena.
"Pah~, you be serious! We're on the Hell Road right now!"
Hu Liena said with a chiding tone.
"Cough, cough, am I not serious enough?"
Ye Chen was a little speechless. How was he not serious?
"Mm-hm."
Hu Liena nodded.
"Alright, stop being mischievous. Let's talk about serious matters now.
The Hell Road isn't just about walking this narrow path; there will definitely be dangers ahead, and neither of us can fly. It would be troublesome if you fell. Come on, I'll carry you on my back!"
Ye Chen turned, his back to Hu Liena, signaling for her to get on.
Chapter 337 The Little Fox's Dream of God
"Then don't move around!"
"I promise not to move!"
Ye Chen swore to the heavens with a sincere expression.
"Alright, I'll trust you this once!"
Seeing Ye Chen's sincere face, Hu Liena decided to trust him this once.
Not long after, as they walked on the dim, narrow path, Ye Chen, whose hands were supporting Hu Liena's perky bottom on his back, couldn't help but make small movements.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't move around?"
With a blush on her face, Hu Liena wrapped her arms around Ye Chen's neck, twisted her waist, and whispered discontentedly into his ear.
"Don't talk, hold me tight!"
"Hmph, always bullying people!"
Hu Liena playfully punched Ye Chen.
...
Following the narrow path, Ye Chen carried the little fox and continued for a few minutes.
"Eh? Why does it feel like it's getting hotter?"
Suddenly, Hu Liena noticed that the surroundings felt off. Why was it getting hotter and hotter?
Earlier, she had felt a bit warm, but at that time, Ye Chen was teasing her, so she thought it was a shy illusion. However, as they continued forward, Hu Liena realized that it wasn't her shyness making her warm, but the temperature of the surrounding air had indeed risen significantly.
"We're getting closer to the boiling blood pool below, so the temperature naturally increases," Ye Chen said without looking back, glancing at the blood pool in the abyss below.
"No way? This narrow path we're on doesn't have a slope, so how could we be getting closer to the bottom?"
Hu Liena's eyes widened, somewhat disbelieving. The path was clearly flat, so why were they going down?
"I don't know either, it must be because of the Divinity!"
Ye Chen couldn't figure it out either, but this wasn't the main point, nor did he need to understand it.
Hmm, perhaps they weren't going down, but the blood pool below was rising?
As for why the boiling blood in the blood pool didn't flow to a lower place, Ye Chen didn't know.
"The legendary Divinity? Are you saying that Slaughter City, like our Spirit Hall, also worships a Divinity?"
Hu Liena was stunned, not expecting Slaughter City to be connected to the legendary Divinity.
But it made sense; the Slaughter God Domain clearly wasn't something a Spirit Master who hadn't become a Divinity could conjure and allow others to obtain.
"Divinity is not just a legend, but a real existence! However, this isn't worship. This is merely a place where the Asura God set up a God Trial on the Continent."
The importance of Spirit Hall and Slaughter City in the eyes of the Angel God and the Asura God King was definitely not the same.
In the original work, Tang San threw a Snow Swan Kiss into the blood pool of the Hell Road, directly destroying Slaughter City.
This was a blatant overturning of the table, yet the Asura God King still bestowed a God Position, showing that Slaughter City was nothing in the eyes of the Asura God King.
The clear methods for becoming a Divinity on the Douluo Continent, besides inheriting a God Position, were to gather vast amounts of faith to become a Divinity. Coupled with Sea God Poseidon's emphasis on faith, Ye Chen boldly speculated that the power of faith should be able to assist Divinity in cultivation.
The Asura God King, perhaps because his strength had already reached the pinnacle of the Douluo World, found the power of faith useless to him, and thus did not value the development of followers. This led to him, a dignified God King, having less prestige on the Continent than a First-Class Divinity like the Angel God and the Sea God.
Not to mention the outside world, even within Slaughter City, very few people had heard the Asura God's name.
"Slaughter City is a God Trial location? Is that true?"
"Why would I lie to you? What, do you want to inherit his God Position?"
"Can a Divinity's God Position be inherited?"
"Of course."
"Then we must search carefully in Slaughter City from now on to see if we can inherit a God Position!"
Hu Liena said to Ye Chen with an excited expression.
This was about becoming a Divinity! In her impression, Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao was just a Titled Douluo, yet he was incredibly powerful. If she, Hu Liena, could become a Divinity, wouldn't she be absolutely amazing?
Hmm, by then, she would exploit Xiao Chen every day and make him bring her foot-washing water!
Seeing the little fox's excited look, Ye Chen chuckled: "Nana, I can guarantee that the Asura God will definitely not choose you as the God Position inheritor."
"Why? What's wrong with me?"
Hu Liena was very angry, feeling that Ye Chen was looking down on her.
"It's not that your talent isn't good, but your Spirit's compatibility with the Asura God Position is too low."
Seeing that the girl was angry, Ye Chen immediately explained.
The inheritance of a God Position not only tested cultivation talent but also the degree of compatibility between the God Position and one's own Spirit.
For example, a fire-type Spirit, no matter how strong its talent, would not be able to inherit the God Position of an ice-type Divinity.
In the original work, Tang San was able to inherit the Sea God Position because his Blue Silver Emperor Spirit had the characteristic of encompassing all rivers, complementing the Sea God Position.
And he was able to obtain the Asura God Position because his Clear Sky Hammer Spirit did not conflict with the path of slaughter.
Tang San's personality in both his past and present lives was also very suitable for the path of slaughter. After the transformation by the Ice and Fire Immortal Herb, his cultivation talent was also a rare sight in tens of thousands of years. Coupled with the destruction of Slaughter City, the only God Trial location on the Continent, he was able to obtain the inheritance of the Asura God Position.
Hu Liena followed the path of mental Charm and mental control, which, no matter how one looked at it, had no connection with the Asura God Position, even if she obtained the Slaughter God Domain.
As for Ye Chen, he didn't care for other people's 'inheritances'. His own cheat-like son had already prepared a God Position, and it was tailor-made, with a compatibility of one hundred percent.
In Ye Chen's opinion, the person on the Continent with the highest compatibility with the Asura God Position was currently Sword Douluo Chen Xin.
Chen Xin's talent was also not bad. Back in the day, he was a famous innate full spirit power user in the surrounding villages. In the original work, without relying on external conditions, Chen Xin cultivated alone to a 97th Level Titled Douluo.
If he hadn't joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in his early years to be Ning Fengzhi's personal bodyguard, enjoying many years of ease, with his talent, he would have had a great chance of advancing to a 98th Level Titled Douluo. If he hadn't died in the end, there was even a slim hope of reaching a 99th level Titled Douluo.
Most importantly, Chen Xin's Spirit, the Seven Kill Sword, also followed the path of slaughter, and both the Seven Kill Sword Spirit and the divine artifact, the Asura God Sword, were sword-type.
However, Chen Xin's talent was in place, but his opportunities were far lacking; he didn't have a single 100,000-year spirit ring or 100,000-year Spirit Bone.
If Chen Xin had come to Slaughter City when he was young, he might have had some hope of obtaining the God Position inheritance, or at least become a Grand Priest with eight trials, like Qian Daoliu and Poseidon.
But now Chen Xin was old and had not yet become a 99th level Titled Douluo, so the Asura God King would definitely not look favorably upon him.
"Hmph~, I'm not talking to you anymore!"
Hu Liena snorted lightly, turned her head away, and decided not to pay attention to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen: "..."
Chapter 338 Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King
Just then, Ye Chen keenly sensed faint rustling sounds coming from the darkness ahead.
For a Spirit Master with strong mental force, mental perception is actually more effective than simply using one's eyes to observe.
After all, eyes can only see; if the distance is far, sounds cannot be heard, and if there are objects obstructing the view, they also cannot be seen.
However, if it's a mental force scan, one can not only see but also hear, though the specific perception effect depends on the Spirit Master's mental force level.
Ye Chen knew that these faint sounds were made by a group of bats.
Yes, it was the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King's minions.
But Ye Chen didn't pay attention; they were just a bunch of pathetic bats, nothing to worry about.
Not long after, Hu Liena, whose mental force was also strong, noticed the commotion ahead.
"What's coming up ahead?"
Hu Liena asked Ye Chen. She was very clear that if even she had noticed the movement, then Ye Chen, whose mental force was stronger than hers, must have also sensed it.
"A group of bats, probably seven or eight hundred of them."
"Bats? Slaughter City always has such disgusting things!"
Hu Liena complained.
The sounds from ahead grew louder, and before long, Ye Chen saw a group of bats, like a bloody cloud, flying towards them.
The appearance of these bats was very much in line with the style of Slaughter City: each was over a foot long, with wings spanning over a meter, and their entire bodies were blood-red, coupled with their bloodthirsty fangs protruding from the corners of their mouths, giving them a full sense of evil.
Ye Chen was very curious about the relationship between this group of bloody bats, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, and the Nine Headed Bloody Crimson Bat King. Could they be relatives?
"Put me down!"
Seeing the danger appear, Hu Liena twisted her body, and the external Spirit Bone of her fox tail materialized behind her. She wanted to get off Ye Chen's back, so that both of them could fully exert their strength.
"Nana, I'll handle it! Also, in the future, don't use your tail to deal with enemies."
Touching the fluffy fox tail, Ye Chen didn't let her down. The little fox only weighed about a hundred catties, which had no impact at all.
Moreover, in Ye Chen's opinion, the greatest use of the little fox's tail was not for combat, but for adding pleasure during intimate moments.
"Be serious!"
Hu Liena chided him coquettishly.
Ye Chen was good in every way, except for two aspects that weren't so great. One was that he had quite a few girlfriends, and the other was that he was often not serious.
"Serious? I, Ye Chen, am the most serious!"
After speaking, Ye Chen looked at the group of bloody bats flying towards them.
Although the number of these bloody bats was considerable, their individual strength was not strong. The strongest aura among them couldn't even compare to an ordinary ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast from the outside world, and the weakest couldn't even compare to a thousand-year Spirit Beast.
Immediately, Ye Chen released a powerful spirit power pressure, enveloping an area of a hundred meters.
The gap between the strong and the weak was still very obvious; when a Titled Douluo dealt with low-level Spirit Masters, he didn't even need to make a move. Just relying on spirit power pressure was enough to render low-level Spirit Masters utterly defenseless.
Sometimes, if the gap was too large, mere aura could crush people to death.
Although Ye Chen had not yet advanced to Titled Douluo, the spirit power pressure he released with full force was definitely superior to that of weak Titled Douluo like Sha Long.
Instantly, a powerful spirit power pressure was released, centered on Ye Chen, and within a hundred-meter radius, all the bloody bats, except for a few larger ones, temporarily lost consciousness.
Even those who didn't lose consciousness were unable to control their bodies.
When flying Spirit Beasts lose consciousness in the air, it's like an airplane flying in the sky suddenly running out of fuel, which will cause an air crash.
Moreover, below was an abyss, with a boiling blood pool at the bottom. If these falling bloody bats couldn't wake up before falling into the blood pool, they would definitely be doomed.
In a moment, before Ye Chen had even truly made a move, the group of thousands of bloody bats was immediately reduced by nearly half its number.
Although these bloody bats were bloodthirsty, they all had some intelligence. Seeing so many of their companions disappear instantly, they immediately knew that these two unknown creatures in front of them were definitely not to be trifled with, and they all flapped their wings, directly fleeing.
Looking at the group of bloody bats that had re-entered the darkness, Ye Chen knew that this was not over; with his minions beaten, the boss would appear soon.
But that wasn't important; even Tang San could heavily beat the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, so Ye Chen naturally didn't put it in his eyes.
Well, if it could drop a Spirit Bone, Ye Chen might give it a second look, but the probability was too low.
Moreover, in Hell Road, whether a Spirit Bone could even drop was still a question.
...
Walking on the narrow path, Ye Chen clearly felt that the blood pool in the abyss below them was getting closer.
Affected by the rising heat from the blood pool in the abyss below, the temperature of the surrounding air had noticeably increased a lot compared to before. If the circular platform area before was like spring's normal temperature, then it was now considered summer's high temperature.
However, since they were still far from the blood pool, the current impact was not very great.
Suddenly, the group of bloody bats that had fled earlier reappeared in their sight.
Besides that group of 'remnants and defeated soldiers,' directly ahead, beneath the narrow path, hung a giant bat upside down.
Under the faint red light reflecting off the surroundings, this giant bat emitted a dark golden glow all over its body.
"Squeak, squeak--."
Seeing the two appear, a larger bloody bat among the group suddenly let out a cry, and then all the remaining bloody bats began to emit sharp screeches.
As the piercing, unpleasant screeches rang out, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, hanging upside down on the narrow path, opened its eyes and slowly spread its enormous bat wings.
Then, its claws, clamped onto the narrow path, suddenly released, and with a flap of its enormous bat wings, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King's massive body took flight.
Compared to its minions, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, as the boss, was much more imposing; not only was its skin a 'tycoon gold' color, but its size was also considerably larger.
The Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King had three bat heads, was about four meters long, and its outstretched bat wings were astonishingly over ten meters wide.
With the boss making its grand entrance, the remaining group of bloody bats immediately flapped their wings and flew behind the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, lining up neatly like an army.
"Soul Bone Skill: Eye of Corrosive Poison!"
Seeing the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King appear, Ye Chen immediately activated the Soul Bone Skill: Eye of Corrosive Poison, from his Demon Eye external Spirit Bone, preparing to instantly kill it.
Neither he nor Hu Liena could fly, and if the narrow path beneath their feet were destroyed by the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, while it wouldn't trap them in Hell Road, it would cause no small amount of trouble.
Chapter 339 Ten Sun Snakes
Moreover, Ye Chen, who had read the original work, was familiar with the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King's tactics.
Aside from its strong regeneration ability, it had no other significant highlights; as long as its three heads were instantly blown off, preventing it from regenerating, it would be fine.
However, for Ye Chen, there was no need for such trouble.
Facing the potent poison of the Corrosive Poison Eye, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King's regeneration ability, no matter how strong, was useless.
As spirit power surged, a emerald green light flashed in Ye Chen's eyes.
Instantly, a terrifying giant dark green eye appeared in mid-air.
Then, the eerie, terrifying giant eye shot out a emerald green ray, accurately hitting the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, which had just appeared and was still posing.
"Screech, screech—"
Seeing their boss hit by a emerald green ray, the confused bat minions immediately started screeching.
Ye Chen didn't understand bat language, but he figured they must be concerned about their boss?
Uh, or maybe they were preparing for a feast?
Watching the terrifying giant eye suddenly appear in mid-air, and taking another emerald green ray to its chest, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King thought it was done for, but to its surprise, it didn't feel any harm, as if it had just been an illusion?
The Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King let out a triumphant roar to the sky, then turned to look at Ye Chen and Hu Liena, its eyes revealing a bloodthirsty glint.
However, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King's triumph was premature; just as it was about to command its minions behind it to swarm forward, it suddenly felt a wave of weakness wash over its entire body.
Before the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King could check its condition, its consciousness completely plunged into darkness.
The Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King was unaware of its own state, but Ye Chen, Hu Liena, and the bat minions behind it saw everything clearly.
After being hit by the emerald green ray from the Soul Bone Skill: Eye of Corrosive Poison, for the first second, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King had no reaction; in the second second, its dark gold body was stained with a deep dark green color.
In the third second, which was when it was triumphantly screeching to the sky, the dark green color on its body rapidly spread, covering its entire body in the blink of an eye, transforming the originally dark gold great bat into a dark green one.
Then, something terrifying happened: the flesh and blood on the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King's body began to melt, starting from the chest where it was first hit, then spreading throughout its entire body.
Flesh melted, bones corroded; in less than a second, the once majestic Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King turned into a rotten skeleton, as if it had endured thousands of years, and then plummeted straight down from the air towards the blood pool below the abyss.
"Screech, screech—" "Screech, screech—" "Screech, screech—"
This scene stunned the blood-colored bat swarm; after three seconds of silence, the scene immediately descended into Chaos.
This time, unlike before, these blood-colored bats were like headless flies; after screeching for a while, they immediately flapped their wings, charging towards Ye Chen and Hu Liena with almost retaliatory madness.
"Not running away?"
Looking at the blood-colored bat swarm rushing forward to avenge their boss, Ye Chen was a bit surprised; he had thought these remaining blood-colored bats would run away again!
However, whether these blood-colored bats ran or not made little difference to Ye Chen; at most, it would just take a little more effort.
The terrifying spirit power pressure reappeared; within a hundred-meter radius, under the deterrence of Ye Chen's spirit power pressure, the blood-colored bats that rushed forward all lost consciousness.
One second, hundreds of blood-colored bats were flapping their wings; the next second, their bodies froze, and then, like dumplings falling into water, they plummeted one by one into the abyss below.
At this moment, Ye Chen's mind had already envisioned the scene of these blood-colored bats being swallowed by the boiling blood pool below the abyss.
After dealing with the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King and its minions, Ye Chen didn't delay, continuing forward with his sister on his back.
As they continued forward, the temperature in the surrounding air grew hotter, and the dark red color of the abyss on both sides of the narrow path gradually became clearer.
The rising heat from the blood pool began to feel scorching, and the air made breathing uncomfortable, as if his lungs were burning.
"Ye Chen, why is it so hot?"
Lying on Ye Chen's back, Hu Liena felt a bit uncomfortable.
"Hot?"
Touching the little fox on his back, who was drenched in sweat and whose clothes were somewhat damp, Ye Chen felt the sensation was even more wonderful.
"Not hot?"
"I'm not hot!"
"Well, I am hot then!"
"Alright, what can I do when I care for my wife?"
As he spoke, a layer of white jade light bloomed from Ye Chen's body, enveloping both him and Hu Liena.
As soon as the Qingjing Domain appeared, Hu Liena immediately felt a cool sensation spread throughout her body, feeling refreshed all over.
Not only did the temperature drop significantly, but even the scorching, turbid air became Pure Nether, as if it had been filtered by that layer of jade light.
"Damn it, why didn't you release it earlier? You made me sweat so much."
Hu Liena secretly marveled at the good effect of the Qingjing Domain, but her face showed anger, and she asked Ye Chen with an unfriendly expression.
"Uh, well, that, that… hmm, I didn't think of it earlier!"
Ye Chen couldn't possibly say he wanted to enjoy the beautiful sight of his little fox drenched in sweat, could he? Otherwise, he'd face domestic violence tonight.
"Hmph~, you only know how to bully me!"
Pouting, Hu Liena mumbled.
Just as Ye Chen was about to say something, a rustling sound suddenly came from ahead.
Immediately, Ye Chen focused his gaze ahead, then stopped walking.
Tilting his head, Ye Chen said to Hu Liena behind him, "Hell Road's second trial has arrived."
"The second trial?"
Hu Liena was stunned and looked ahead.
Just a hundred meters ahead, a dark red snake shadow was Binding itself on the narrow path.
Ye Chen knew that this dark red snake shadow was the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent.
As the two saw the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent, the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent also noticed Ye Chen and Hu Liena.
Accompanied by the rustling sound of snake scales rubbing against the narrow path, the snake shadow began to slowly slither forward.
As they got closer, Ye Chen finally clearly saw the appearance of this Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent.
The Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent's name suggested it had ten heads, but that wasn't actually the case.
There were nine protrusions on the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent's head and back.
Each protrusion resembled a bright red mushroom, as if blood was flowing inside, making it look like it had nine extra heads, which is how it got the name Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent, rather than actually having ten heads.
Besides the nine protrusions, the most striking feature of the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent was its particularly large, bulging abdomen on the narrow path.
However, although the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent looked strange, its size wasn't too large, only about a dozen meters long.
For ordinary snakes, this size isn't small, but for Spirit Beast snakes, there are plenty that exceed this length.
Chapter 340 The Effects of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Snake's Inner Pill
Looking at the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent, whose snake head slowly rose, staring with a pair of golden-red snake eyes, Ye Chen recalled the original novel's description of the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent.
A primeval beast, the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent, is incomparably venomous. An adult can grow over ten meters long and possesses the strongest fire poison among snakes.
After cultivating for ten thousand years, it can form an inner core, hidden among the nine heads on its back. When the inner core emerges, heaven and earth lose their color. If one obtains its inner core, all snakes will flee; it is the supreme among snakes.
Uh, calling it the supreme among snakes, that's a bit of an exaggeration.
Judging by the strength displayed by the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent, it completely disregards super-serpents like Jörmungandr, Jiuying, and Xiangliu.
Not to mention comparing it to these world-destroying, boss-level monstrous snakes, even against Xiao Wu's number one little brother, the Sky Azure Bull Python Da Ming, the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent is far inferior, just a small spicy strip.
Stir-fried, spicy, crunchy!
Ahem, I've strayed off-topic!
In the original novel, Tang San obtained the inner core of this Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent and eventually gave it to Ma Hongjun, causing Ma Hongjun's Fire Phoenix Spirit to mutate into a Nine-headed Fire Phoenix.
However, in Ye Chen's view, this was completely unnecessary. The quality of the Fire Phoenix Spirit already reached the peak, and it was even a top-grade among peak Spirits, not weaker than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon and the like.
Even if it mutated into a Nine-headed Fire Phoenix, it was still a peak Spirit, without much improvement.
As for a Ten-headed Fire Phoenix, that requires reaching Godhood at level 100, but if one achieves Godhood, the Fire Phoenix Spirit can also evolve into a God-level Fire Phoenix. So, giving the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent's inner core to Ma Hongjun was basically a waste.
Perhaps this inner core was indeed useful, but because the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent's strength was not very high, its help to Ma Hongjun was actually very limited.
The one who most needed this item should be the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.
After Tang San obtained the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent's inner core, he personally stated that this inner core could nullify any snake venom and restrain all types of snakes.
If Dugu Bo had the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent's inner core, then he and his descendants would not need to worry about the Azure Serpent poison being too potent.
Although this wouldn't cure the root cause, it could permanently treat the symptoms and would definitely become a family heirloom for Dugu Bo's family! He would likely not trade it even for a 100,000-year Spirit Bone.
Tang San plundered all the Immortal Herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, leaving none for Dugu Bo. He also didn't give Dugu Bo the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent's inner core, which could nullify any snake venom. From this, it can be seen that Tang San's character had quite a few issues.
Of course, perhaps it was because Dugu Bo initially left a very bad impression on Tang San, and he has been holding a grudge?
Back then, Ye Chen exchanged two detoxifying potions, along with a method of transferring toxins using a Spirit Bone, for quite a few Immortal Herbs in Dugu Bo's medicine garden. Although he said it was a fair trade, Ye Chen knew he had gotten a huge bargain.
At that time, he had already thought of a way to completely resolve Dugu Bo's internal hidden dangers, but the time was not right, so he hadn't mentioned it.
Ye Chen isn't a good person, but he also remembers this kindness. The inner core of this Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent will definitely belong to Dugu Bo.
Of course, this is because Ye Chen himself has no use for this item.
However, how to obtain this inner core intact will require Ye Chen to use his wits.
It should be known that, under normal circumstances, the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent's inner core is in a liquid state, distributed in the nine fleshy lumps on its back. Ye Chen is not sure if killing the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent and collecting the liquid can still be converted into an inner core.
If it doesn't work, that would be a pity.
To be safe, Ye Chen needs to make the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent actively condense its inner core, and then seize the right moment to strike and instantly kill it.
...
The distance began to close from a hundred meters. The Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent, flicking its tongue, let out a gurgling sound from its mouth, like a baby crying.
At the same time, the nine fleshy lumps on its back also began to emit a golden-red glow.
"Gua—!"
Still twenty to thirty meters away from Ye Chen and Hu Liena, the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent launched its attack first.
A scorching blaze suddenly erupted from its mouth, carrying a strong fishy smell, and rapidly spread towards the two of them.
Moreover, this blaze did not come from the air but attacked along the ground, meaning it spread rapidly along the narrow path beneath their feet.
Neither Ye Chen nor Hu Liena currently possessed the ability to fly. If they were to dodge, they would inevitably have to take to the air, which would fall into the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent's trick.
The fiery red light intensely fluctuated on the narrow path, even making crackling sounds as if burning rocks. Furthermore, above the blaze, there was a faint layer of red mist. Even with a toe, one could guess that this red mist must contain strong toxins.
"Soul Bone Skill: Purple-Gold Guardian."
As spirit power surged, a purple-gold light flashed on Ye Chen's left leg. Immediately, a layer of transparent purple-gold shield enveloped Ye Chen and Hu Liena on his back.
The surging toxic fire attacked, but with the Soul Bone Skill: Purple-Gold Guardian, Ye Chen was not at all worried about his defense being breached.
"Ye Chen, how do you have so many Soul Bone Skills?"
Looking at the transparent purple-gold shield that enveloped them both, Hu Liena asked Ye Chen curiously.
"Many?"
"Isn't it many?"
Hu Liena was a little speechless. Was it not many?
She had personally witnessed as many as seven Soul Bone Skills: Endless Blood Vines, Creation Divine Light, Limitless Regeneration, Purple-Gold Guardian, Tree Eye Paralysis, Corrosive Poison Eye, and Myriad Branches.
What Hu Liena didn't know was that Ye Chen also possessed Emerging from Mud, Yet Untainted, Thorn Guardian, and Azure Wood Ascends to the Sky.
"This only shows that your husband is no ordinary person!"
Ye Chen said smugly.
"Vain~!"
Hu Liena couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Seeing that the toxic fire it spat out could not do anything to the seemingly fragile purple-gold shield in front of it, the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent was furious. It opened its snake mouth wide and sprayed fire even more vigorously.
Unfortunately, Purple-Gold Guardian was, after all, a 100,000-year defensive Soul Bone Skill, and it was not so easily shaken.
If the attack power is not up to a certain level, instead of thinking about how to forcibly break through, it's better to simply stop, stand aside, and wait for Purple-Gold Guardian's effect duration to pass and dissipate on its own. At least it would save some energy.
After a long time, its mouth was almost scorched, and the not-so-clever brain of the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent finally reacted. It realized that simply relying on spitting fire would obviously not be able to do anything to this layer of purple-gold turtle shell. It had to bring out some special moves.
Having understood, the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent stopped its futile efforts. Its nine golden-red fleshy lumps on its back began to glow brightly, and a fierce look appeared in its golden-red eyes as it stared at Ye Chen and Hu Liena.
