Chapter 41: Unexpected Surprise, the External Soul Bone Golden Eagle Wings, Entering Hell Road
"Wow, it's actually an external soul bone!" Ye Wen said, a bit surprised, as he hurriedly walked up to examine it.
"Master, this is the external soul bone 'Golden Eagle Wings' dropped by the 20,000-year-old soul beast, the Golden Eagle King. Several decades ago, a human soul master entered the City of Slaughter with this external soul bone," the Slaughter King explained.
"He eventually died in the Hell Slaughter Arena, and this external soul bone became mine."
"But it has a pure light attribute, which conflicts with my bloodline, so it's been sealed and I've never absorbed it."
"Knowing that Master can transform into a human, I thought it would be a perfect gift for you, as it should greatly enhance your strength in human form," the Slaughter King continued.
"I didn't expect the City of Slaughter to have such a treasure," Ye Wen remarked, very pleased. He reached out to touch the Golden Eagle Wings, highly satisfied. "I'll take it, thank you for the gift. I'll take my leave now."
"Master, you're too polite!"
With that, Ye Wen turned to leave, and as he walked away, the Slaughter King showed deep respect, "I see you off, Master!"
Back at his room, Ye Wen took out the external soul bone again and smiled. "The Golden Eagle Wings, haha, I didn't expect this trip to the City of Slaughter to be so fruitful."
"Let me see what kind of power you can bring me!"
Without hesitation, Ye Wen absorbed it.
External soul bones are rarer than soul bones and have an even lower drop rate. Their true power lies in the fact that they can grow as the soul master's strength increases.
For example, if Ye Wen reaches the divine level, the external soul bone will also reach the divine level, becoming a divine tool.
It is an extremely rare and valuable existence. Only a handful of people across the continent possess an external soul bone.
Half an hour later, after absorbing it, Ye Wen's back began to grow a pair of huge golden wings, each two meters long, totaling four meters. They glowed with a brilliant golden light.
Very majestic!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Ye Wen flapped the wings twice, and he began to float.
"Not bad. In addition to providing flight ability and enhancing physical strength, the Golden Eagle Wings also have a burning effect, a super-strong healing ability for physical injuries, and even some soul power recovery!" Ye Wen was extremely pleased. He withdrew the external soul bone and landed steadily.
He clenched his fist, feeling the power of his human form. "Although my soul power in human form is only at level 17, with my combat ability, the million-year-old soul bone, and this external soul bone, I could probably take on a Soul Sect!"
"Heh, I'll rest for the night. Tomorrow, it's time to leave the City of Slaughter," Ye Wen chuckled, lying down on the bed.
The next day.
In the Hell Slaughter Arena, Ye Wen's final match had begun.
"Die!!"
Splat!
On the arena, Ye Wen crushed the neck of the last opponent, completing his hundredth consecutive victory.
Soon after, Xie Hu and Xiao Bai also took to the stage and won their final match.
The three of them had achieved the qualification to break into Hell Road after only a month and a half, becoming the fastest in history.
At that moment, the Slaughter King appeared, flapping his bat wings and floating above the arena.
"Today, three formidable beings have emerged with a hundred consecutive victories!"
"Does their terrifying strength and bloodlust make you tremble?" the Slaughter King's voice boomed.
"Yes!"
"Yes!!"
The fallen ones in the spectator stands raised their fists, repeatedly responding.
However, these fools didn't know that they were about to become sacrifices to Ye Wen, Xie Hu, and Xiao Bai as they opened the Hell Road.
"Now I will open the entrance to Hell Road for them!"
"Hell Road!"
"Hell Road!"
"Hell Road!"
The fallen ones around them were going wild, excitedly cheering. No one had seen Hell Road open since the Slaughter God.
But they didn't know, those who had seen it had already died.
"Drink!"
The Slaughter King's body was suddenly enveloped in terrifying red murderous aura, which began to devour the flesh and blood of the fallen ones.
"What's happening... Why is the Slaughter King killing us..."
"Run... Run!!"
"No! No!! Slaughter King!"
"Ahhh!!"
The excited cheers turned into screams as the fallen ones began dying rapidly, their energy, blood, and murderous aura being absorbed into the circular platform of the arena.
"Being able to open Hell Road is their honor!"
The platform of the Hell Slaughter Arena began to glow with a fierce red light. Soon, the circular disk on the ground disappeared, and a massive passage appeared below.
Countless murderous energies surrounded them, as if many ghostly hands were pulling Ye Wen, Xie Hu, and Xiao Bai into the passage.
When their sight finally cleared, the three of them found themselves in Hell Road.
The murderous aura here was far stronger!
"This is Hell Road?"
Ye Wen looked around, feeling like they were in a massive cave.
There were ancient buildings and various connected stone roads, and below them was the source of energy for the City of Slaughter, boiling like magma.
If they fell, even Xiao Bai and Xie Hu might die.
"Heh, let's go." Ye Wen smiled. With their strength, crossing Hell Road would be easy!
"Yes! Boss!"
"Let's go!"
The three of them swiftly rushed toward the end of Hell Road.
Soon, a large group of red bats attacked.
"Devil Shark Fang!"
Boom!
Xiao Bai struck, annihilating all the blood-red bats.
"Well done, Xiao Bai!"
The three of them moved forward, taking down everything in their way.
Finally, they encountered an unusual bat. It was enormous, with three heads!
It was the Three-Headed Bat King!
"Roar!!"
The Bat King howled and charged at them, looking extremely terrifying.
"Heh, the strongest of the bat clan, the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King, is my subordinate. You little Three-Headed Bat dare to stop me!"
"Seek death!"
Ye Wen directly threw a punch, hitting the Three-Headed Bat King.
Smash!
The body of the Three-Headed Bat King was instantly destroyed.
The three of them were soon nearing the end of Hell Road.
Xiao Bai, feeling a bit bored, said, "Boss, Hell Road isn't that hard to navigate. With this level of difficulty, only a handful of people have made it through in a thousand years?"
"We're only fighting appetizers here. The real challenge of Hell Road is an exotic beast called the Ten-Headed Sun Snake."
"The Ten-Headed Sun Snake?"
"Yes. Without being able to use soul techniques, about ninety percent of soul masters would find it hard to make it through its threats."
As soon as Ye Wen finished speaking, the magma below began to boil.
"It's here!"
