Chapter 343: Crushing Through, Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Snake!
"Here it comes!"
In the Hell Road space, as Lin Yu saw the vast swarm of blood-colored bats, flapping their wings and screeching, flying towards him through the pitch-black darkness, his brow furrowed and his mind stirred.
According to the original story, the Hell Road consists of three trials.
The first trial involves withstanding or repelling an attack from a swarm of blood-colored bats led by a Ten-Thousand-Year Dark Golden Three-Headed Bat King.
The second trial is to break through an attack from the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Snake, a beast of ancient and terrifying power.
The third trial is the test of one's inner demons.
However, for Lin Yu, none of this posed much of a challenge.
"Erlong, be careful! There's a swarm of blood-colored bats coming towards us. I'm going to enter Martial Soul possession and deal with them."
In the darkness, Lin Yu, activating his Soul Skill—Heavy Pupil Martial Soul—observed the rapidly approaching blood-colored bats and calmly warned Liu Erlong, who was behind him.
Since soul skills were restricted in the Hell Road, Lin Yu's best bet for dealing with the swarm of blood-colored bats was using his Dragon Might released during his Golden Dragon Martial Soul possession, which was a strong auxiliary power. He wouldn't let that go to waste.
However, because the Golden Dragon's bloodline was too advanced, even Liu Erlong, his ally, would be greatly affected by the overwhelming Dragon Might. So Lin Yu had to warn her in advance to avoid any accidental harm.
"Alright, I got it!"
Though Liu Erlong didn't know exactly what the approaching blood-colored bats looked like, she trusted Lin Yu's words entirely.
A few seconds after Lin Yu's reminder, a sound of flapping wings echoed from the distance. The air seemed to tremble as an eerie "screeching" sound grew louder. Through the blood-red glow from the rushing blood river below, Lin Yu could make out the swarm of blood-colored bats rapidly closing in on them, small dots of red in the dark sky.
"Golden Dragon Martial Soul, possession!"
Seeing that the blood-colored bat swarm was almost overhead, Lin Yu immediately activated his Martial Soul. With a low shout, he summoned the Golden Dragon Martial Soul.
In an instant, brilliant golden light erupted from Lin Yu's body. A thunderous roar of a dragon echoed through the air as a majestic Golden Dragon with wings and shimmering scales appeared behind him, then instantly entered his body.
With the Martial Soul possession, Lin Yu's body grew taller, his muscles bulging, and golden dragon scales surged across his body. His hands transformed into sharp dragon claws, his eyes turned into golden vertical slits, and two magnificent dragon horns emerged from his hair.
Along with the Golden Dragon's possession, a terrifying Dragon Might erupted from Lin Yu's body, sweeping across all directions.
Facing Lin Yu's Dragon Might, the majority of the blood-colored bats in the approaching swarm, with cultivations under a hundred years old and low bloodlines, were immediately stunned. Their bodies froze, and amidst sharp, terrified shrieks, they began falling like raindrops into the blood river below.
In just the blink of an eye, more than sixty percent of the approaching blood-colored bats were eliminated.
As the Dragon Might forced the blood-colored bats to fall, those with cultivations over a hundred years were still in a panic, but their movements were slowed. Lin Yu seized the opportunity, coldly laughing in his mind, and unleashed three consecutive mental storm attacks on the remaining bats.
Being human, Lin Yu's mental power was naturally stronger than that of soul beasts of the same rank. Additionally, Lin Yu had specially trained his mental strength using the Qinglian Visualization Method.
As a result, under Lin Yu's mental impact, a large portion of the remaining blood-colored bats were either crushed into oblivion or rendered unconscious by mental shock. They fell into the blood river, just like the others, leaving the swarm decimated by over ninety percent.
With most of the blood-colored bats dealt with, Liu Erlong gave a soft shout. She pushed her hands forward, summoning her soul power, and released a blazing fire that transformed the sky into a crimson sea, incinerating the remaining blood-colored bats in a single sweep.
From Lin Yu summoning his Golden Dragon Martial Soul to releasing Dragon Might, to Liu Erlong turning the sky into a fiery sea, all the remaining blood-colored bats were wiped out in under ten seconds!
The Dark Golden Three-Headed Bat King, preparing to appear as a boss, hadn't even reacted when its minions were completely wiped out by Lin Yu and Liu Erlong!
Naturally, the Dark Golden Three-Headed Bat King was furious. With a sharp screech, it broke free from its perch, spread its wings, and charged toward Lin Yu and Liu Erlong through the pitch-black sky.
However, for the incoming Dark Golden Three-Headed Bat King, Lin Yu used the same method as before.
Once the Bat King entered range, Lin Yu immediately released a mental shock, causing the Bat King to experience a brief mental blank for a few seconds.
Seizing this moment, Lin Yu quickly drew a spear from his storage soul tool, throwing it with full force like a javelin, shouting as he hurled it toward the Dark Golden Three-Headed Bat King.
The spear struck, and the Bat King was killed in midair. Its body fell into the blood river below.
Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a bit regretful, seeing the rare ten-thousand-year soul beast's body fall. After all, such a beast might have yielded a soul bone...
After dealing with the blood-colored bat swarm and the Dark Golden Three-Headed Bat King, Lin Yu continued to lead Liu Erlong as they advanced further into the Hell Road.
As they went deeper, the blood river below began to rise higher, and the blood-red glow and temperature intensified.
After another half hour passed, Lin Yu suddenly saw a massive dark red monstrous snake coiled in front of him on the Hell Road.
This snake was strange because, although its body resembled that of a normal serpent, its head and the nine protrusions along its back looked like red mushrooms, as though blood was flowing inside them.
With its original head and the nine protrusions, it looked as if it had ten heads. Thus, it was named: the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Snake!
And this, naturally, was the second trial Lin Yu would face on the Hell Road!
