Chapter 92: Slaying the Ten-Headed Blazing Sun Serpent
🕑 Added 2025-08-12 16:53:50 +0000 UTCBefore long, Ignaz slowly opened his eyes in the extremely scorching Road to Hell. He saw short, narrow stone corridors appearing before him one after another, with rolling hot hell magma bubbling below.
Without any hesitation, Ignaz immediately walked along the bridge corridor, moving steadily downward at a leisurely pace.
Suddenly, nearly a hundred dark red bats appeared around him, flying rapidly in his direction.
"These must be the descendants of that Dark Gold Nine-Headed Bat King. However, you're not my prey."
As spirit power fluctuations suddenly surged from Ignaz's body, a dark red blood essence barrier appeared violently, and the overwhelming murderous aura contained within directly slaughtered all the charging bats.
This was the innate domain that Ignaz had developed over the past six months through hunting fallen ones and absorbing blood essence, but had never used - the Emperor Slaying Domain.
Although Ignaz rarely used this domain, it had still evolved considerably as his martial soul devoured blood essence.
Within the Emperor Slaying Domain, all creatures would have their attributes suppressed by 40%. Additionally, any creatures of slaughter or darkness that weren't sufficiently powerful could be instantly annihilated.
Watching as all those bats died at Ignaz's hands, the King of Slaughter in his palace, though furious, still said with interest:
"Damnable brat, this is just the prelude to your death. My more powerful kinsmen haven't appeared yet!"
As soon as he finished speaking, magma erupted from somewhere beneath the Road to Hell, and a five-meter-tall, dark red, ferocious three-headed giant beast flew out from the lava.
A pair of dark red wings beat rapidly, carrying the high temperature from within the magma as it swept through the air. At this moment, the entire Road to Hell truly resembled hell on earth.
"Roar—"
Several circles of red sound waves came one after another. When the sonic attacks hit the Emperor Slaying Domain, they were like hitting cotton - completely ineffective and instantly dissipated.
Seeing this, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat became even more enraged. Its wings beat at an increasingly high frequency, and with a sharp roar, it rushed rapidly toward Ignaz.
Seeing this, Ignaz felt no pressure whatsoever - instead, he was quite relaxed. Using his back foot for leverage, he leaped up, grasping the optimal attack angle.
"Sea Wave Trickery: Sky-Shattering Ocean Kill."
In an instant, time seemed to freeze around Ignaz, and the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat's flight speed became abnormally slow.
Relying on his soul bone skill, Ignaz quickly flew to its side, and the Blood Thunder War Spear shot out like a crossbow bolt.
"Pfft—"
The war spear consecutively pierced through all three heads of the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat, and it fell into the magma, while Ignaz landed steadily back on the bridge.
"Just a little bat with barely ten thousand years of cultivation dares to intercept me? Ridiculous."
Ignaz quickly moved toward the exit. In the next second, the entire Road to Hell began to shake violently. Countless bridge corridors and their connection points cracked successively, with stone blocks falling into the magma. Only one extremely sturdy bridge path remained.
A giant serpent nearly fifteen meters long, dark red throughout its body, with nine red flesh orbs on its back, shot out from the magma. The snake's body coiled around the stone pillar of a bridge pavilion as it rapidly climbed upward, its serpentine eyes fixed tightly on Ignaz in the pavilion opposite, flicking out a bright red massive forked tongue while emitting fierce cries like a baby's wail.
Ignaz gripped his Blood Thunder War Spear, looking gravely at this familiar yet strangely unfamiliar giant serpent before him.
"Worthy of being the ancient exotic beast, the Ten-Headed Blazing Sun Serpent. It displays an aura far exceeding that of some ordinary sixty to seventy thousand year spirit beasts."
Regarding this Ten-Headed Blazing Sun Serpent, Ignaz could determine that this snake definitely possessed the terrifying strength of a sixty to seventy thousand year spirit beast. Moreover, in an environment like the Road to Hell that was extremely suitable for its survival, its overall strength probably wouldn't be lower than an eighty to ninety thousand year spirit beast.
Its greatest weakness was the red crystal-like flesh orbs growing on its back. As long as he could shatter the orbs, he could severely wound it.
For the current Ignaz, severely wounding it was far less valuable than absorbing the snake's blood.
At this moment, the Ten-Headed Blazing Sun Serpent was already restless. An extremely scorching, venomous ray shot from its mouth toward Ignaz on the pavilion.
Ignaz quickly threw a bag of realgar wine forward, took out a fire starter, circulated his internal spirit power, and as he exhaled, spirit power burst forth, carrying the flame from the fire starter to ignite the realgar wine in the air.
"Bang—"
The violent explosion produced by the burning realgar wine directly neutralized the Ten-Headed Blazing Sun Serpent's strongest attack. Ignaz seized this opportunity and leaped up.
"Sea Wave Trickery: Sky-Shattering Ocean Kill."
The sixty-meter vacuum zone temporarily deprived the Ten-Headed Blazing Sun Serpent of its mobility. Ignaz wielded his Blood Thunder War Spear in mid-air, aiming at one of the flesh orbs.
"Stormy Night: Thousand-Mile Piercing Extreme."
With one spear thrust, the third red flesh orb on the Ten-Headed Blazing Sun Serpent's back shattered like crystal, and the war spear even penetrated into the snake's interior.
However, when Ignaz executed his first self-created spirit skill, the effect of his third spirit skill was also rapidly dissipating. Under intense struggling, the Ten-Headed Blazing Sun Serpent let out mournful cries like a baby's wailing.
Then, with a "bang!"
The entire vacuum zone exploded violently. The Ten-Headed Blazing Sun Serpent's tail strike hit the airborne Ignaz, his chest bones nearly shattered, and his entire body fell rapidly.
His clothes were quickly burned as he fell, and even his skin gradually withered and burned.
Ignaz rapidly adjusted himself. Just as he was about to be swallowed by the magma, he flew up again, twisted his body to face the charging Ten-Headed Blazing Sun Serpent, dodged its serpent mouth, and grabbed the Blood Thunder War Spear embedded in the snake's body.
"You want to hide back under the magma again? Absolutely impossible."
Ignaz endured the pain from that strike, gripped the Blood Thunder War Spear's handle with both hands, forcefully thrust downward, then slashed diagonally upward.
"Roar—"
The Ten-Headed Blazing Sun Serpent, rapidly falling into the magma due to excruciating pain, quickly raised its entire head and continued gliding across the magma surface.
"Ah—"
A sharp cry of pain rang out.
At this moment, the magma splashed out like spraying seawater, sticking to Ignaz's clothes and skin, even splashing across the left side of his face, causing severe burns that exposed the black facial bones beneath.
Ignaz endured the burning pain.
"Emperor Slaying Domain!"
With the domain's activation, Ignaz increased his force again. The war spear penetrated deeper into the Ten-Headed Blazing Sun Serpent's body at an angle, and the blood absorption speed also increased rapidly.
The Ten-Headed Blazing Sun Serpent's tail thrashed wildly, splashing even more magma in an attempt to completely incinerate Ignaz on its back.
However, the domain acted like a circular barrier, directly blocking the splashing magma. The Blood Thunder War Spear's original black material gradually transformed to crimson red, and the blood flood dragon on the spear handle's entire body continued to grow. The blood-colored dragon's claws, legs, and horns were all gradually becoming corporeal under the infusion of dark red energy.
