Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 303 Abyss Demon

A dark red stream of light surged from 'Shang's' hand and landed on the archway.

The next moment, the dense magic patterns on the two dark red magic pillars suddenly lit up, and white light surged. In the blink of an eye, a white light curtain formed inside the archway.

Then, 'Shang' turned to look at Mu Yang and the other person and said, "Your Highness, trial participants, this is the passage to Hell Road. I wish you success in your assessment."

Without much hesitation, Mu Yang cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards "Shang" and pulled Shui Bing'er into the light curtain.

Upon entering the light curtain, Mu Yang and his companion felt their vision spin, and then they found themselves in an unknown space.

This was a world shrouded in gray mist. Before the two of them was a black avenue about a hundred meters wide, slightly curved. The view on both sides of the avenue and in the sky was completely blocked by thick gray mist.

Immediately, just to be on the safe side, a brilliant golden light flashed across the two of them as they donned their spirit gold battle armor.

Then, Mu Yang released his spiritual power, preparing to investigate whether there was any danger hidden in the gray fog.

To his surprise, his mental energy could not penetrate the gray mist at all. Mu Yang's expression immediately became serious: "Bing'er, be on high alert. This gray mist is very strange. It completely blocks my mental energy detection."

As 'Shang' mentioned earlier, the opponent in the second test is the Abyss Demon. Considering the gray mist that blocks vision and mental detection, Mu Yang has every reason to suspect that the Abyss Demon is hiding in this gray mist.

Before Shui Bing'er could reply, Mu Yang saw the gray mist on the left side of the road surge, and a three-meter-long, gray-black creature covered in hook-shaped spikes, resembling a lizard, leaped out of the black mist and rushed towards them at lightning speed.

"snort--"

With a cold snort, Mu Yang raised his hand and pointed, a flash of icy blue soul power emanating from his fingertip, and an icy flame arrow shot out.

"Bang—"

The icy arrow struck the gray-black creature's head precisely. With a thud, the abyss demon's head exploded, and its entire body vanished into a cloud of gray mist.

Seeing this, Shui Bing'er raised an eyebrow and said, "It feels like its aura isn't even as strong as that of an ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. It seems that this Abyss Demon is nothing special."

However, the difficulty of the divine test will certainly not be low. Since the strength of the abyssal demons is so weak, it means that the number of abyssal demons that appear later should be very large.

The next second, Shui Bing'er's words came true. The gray mist on both sides of the road surged violently, and more than ten abyssal demons, identical to the previous gray-black lizards, poured out of the gray mist.

"Secret Technique: Extreme Ice Phoenix!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Shui Bing'er's body flashed with icy blue soul power, and she activated her secret technique. Accompanied by a phoenix cry, a lifelike extreme ice phoenix flapped its wings and flew out.

"call--"

The Ice Phoenix flapped its wings, spewing out a chilling current. Wherever the cold current passed, more than ten abyssal demons that had attacked were instantly frozen, and then turned into gray mist and dissipated under the corrosive effect of the icy air.

But before Shui Bing'er could even show a hint of relief, more abyssal demons surged out from the gray mist on both sides of the road, like mindless monsters in a game dungeon seeing a player coming to challenge them.

Most importantly, the newly emerging abyssal demons are no longer limited to gray-black lizards. Abyssal demons similar to mantises, snakes, rats, and scorpions have also appeared. Although most of them are still under 10,000 years old, there are also some that are comparable to 10,000-year-old soul beasts, and there are even quite a few abyssal demons with ranged attack capabilities.

"Ice and Flame Domain!"

The number of abyssal demons attacking was large, and Mu Yang did not just stand by and watch. A surge of blue light burst forth, and the Ice Flame Domain bloomed. The illusory ice flames that filled the domain continuously melted away the lives of the abyssal demons.

Awakened Domain Skill: Illusory Ice Flame. The Ice Flame Domain is indeed a minion-reaping machine. Abyssal demons that enter the range of the Ice Flame Domain are all turned into gray mist and disappear in a few seconds to a dozen seconds, just like harvesting wheat.

The battle continued, and at least a hundred abyssal demons had died under the extreme ice phoenix and the ice flame domain. However, the abyssal demons continued to pour out from the gray mist on both sides of the road, as if they could not be killed indefinitely. Mu Yang couldn't help but frown.

"Secret Technique: Extreme Ice Dragon!"

With a sudden roar, an ice-blue divine dragon rose from behind Mu Yang and charged towards the abyss demon attacking from the front of the road.

Immediately, Mu Yang turned to Shui Bing'er, who was controlling the Extreme Ice Phoenix to wreak havoc beside him, and said, "Bing'er, don't get entangled with these abyssal demons."

The abyssal demons that appeared were at most comparable to ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, with the vast majority being less than ten thousand years old. Naturally, Mu Yang wouldn't take such strength seriously and would kill as many as they came.

But he knew that the prerequisite for killing as many as came was that he had enough soul power in his body.

Moreover, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the second test: the true Hell Road, will have the same challenge mechanism as the Hell Road challenge after a hundred-win streak. It will not require killing all the opponents along the way; you only need to get through it.

"clear!"

Shui Bing'er nodded, controlled the Extreme Ice Phoenix Palace, and then her battle armor wings flapped, and she and Mu Yang flew at low speed along the road.

It wasn't that the two didn't want to fly high into the sky, but rather that the sky was also shrouded in gray mist, and they knew that flying abyssal demons were very likely to appear later, so the high sky was not an absolutely safe place.

As expected, not long after the two flew forward, the gray mist above the road churned, and a group of flying abyssal demons with human faces and eagle bodies flew out.

Following the appearance of land-based melee demons and ranged attack demons, flying demons have also made their debut.

With ambushes ahead and pursuers behind, and the enemy even deploying air force, it seemed as if Mu Yang and his companion were about to be overwhelmed by the demon tide.

However, the reality was quite different. Not to mention the ice-flame dragon that led the way and the extreme ice phoenix that brought up the rear, the ice-flame domain emanating from Mu Yang alone formed a natural barrier that blocked the demon tide.

Although the number of abyssal demons was large, their quality was poor, and they could not withstand the melting of the illusory ice flames that filled the Ice Flame Domain.

It can be said that if it weren't for a few abyssal demons possessing ranged attack capabilities, the demon tide in front of them would not have posed any threat to the two of them before Mu Yang's soul power was exhausted.

Half an hour later, Mu Yang and his companion, who had been charging recklessly, had to stop.

The main road ahead was shrouded in gray mist, and there was nowhere to go.

"No way out?"

Looking at the thick gray fog ahead, Shui Bing'er couldn't help but frown.

"Perhaps we need to defeat the leader or king of the abyss demons to clear the game?"

Looking back at the demon tide blocked behind by the Ice Flame Dragon and the Extreme Ice Phoenix, Mu Yang pondered.
