Slaughter to Prove Your Dao: Unlock the Great Sage Equal to Heaven at the Start!

A system notification sounded.

Chen Xing put away his stick and stood up, slightly out of breath.

"Infernal Hell" is just beginning to take shape, and it fully expands to a range of thirty meters.

The consumption was indeed huge; that one blow just now drained nearly ten percent of his vital energy.

But the results justify the cost.

Without stopping, he began to move upstream along the riverbank, starting a new and more efficient killing spree.

The banks of the Dark Blood River have become a veritable battlefield of carnage.

Bloodscale crocodile, and poisonous swamp python lurking in the mud.

Swarms of bloodthirsty leeches with an astonishing suction force.

A demon-faced toad that can spit corrosive venom...

Various kinds of aquatic and amphibious monsters.

As Chen Xing passed by, they all became the dead under the Sky-Splitting Cudgel, or were burned to charcoal by the Fiery Prison.

He no longer pursued a one-hit kill, but began to try to combine "Infernal Hellfire" with "Nine Forms of Heavenly Burning".

First, use the Fiery Prison to create a domain that burns, weakens, and controls the actions of the demonic beasts.

Then, they would break into the area and unleash a burst of power using the Nine Forms of Burning Heaven to eliminate high-value targets at specific points.

When facing weaker first or second-tier demonic beasts, sometimes it is only necessary to maintain the Fiery Prison Burning Heaven for a short while to clear out a whole area.

The efficiency is outrageously high.

Over three days, he swept along the banks of the Darkblood River for nearly ten kilometers.

Wherever they went, the riverbanks were piled high with the charred or shattered corpses of various monsters.

The dark red river water was made even more glaring by the even more blood.

The intense stench of blood and burning flesh created an almost death zone.

Even some carrion-eating monsters dare not approach easily.

Occasionally, you'll see small teams of demon hunters on missions in the distance.

From afar, one could see that figure on the riverbank, like a moving natural disaster, and the trail it left behind.

The scene was so gruesome that it was like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, leaving everyone horrified.

My legs felt weak, so I quickly changed course and moved away from that death zone.

"The Dark Blood Asura has reached the Dark Blood River!"

"Both sides of the river were littered with charred and smashed monster corpses!"

"That's ruthless! He's practically a god of death descended upon the world!"

Such messages were transmitted back to the Linjiang City base station at an even faster speed.

This propelled the infamous reputation of "Dark Blood Asura" to new heights.

On the eleventh day, Chen Xing rested at an abandoned temporary camp of demon hunters upstream of the Darkblood River.

He tallied up his harvest.

On the system panel, the kill value skyrocketed from 17800 points after unlocking the Infernal Blaze to 31500 points!

The 13700 new points mostly came from the high density of monsters along the riverbank.

Especially the contributions of those few lower-tier third-order and a few mid-tier aquatic monsters.

"That's about it."

Chen Xing looked at the kill count of over 30,000 on the panel and pondered in his mind.

It's time to head to the last and most dangerous area—the Darkblood Mountains.

……

The Darkblood Mountains are the true perilous place in the Darkblood Ruins.

The mountains here are steep and rugged, with strange rocks and numerous natural caves.

A deep ravine and an eerie, dark red forest.

The monsters that inhabit this place are generally stronger, and most of them possess unique abilities or rare special bloodlines.

After entering the mountains, Chen Xing immediately changed his strategy.

Instead of large-scale raids, they act like top-tier assassin hunters.

Using the complex terrain to conceal their presence, they actively search for lone, powerful third-tier demonic beasts.

He regarded this place as the best whetstone, constantly honing the stacking techniques of the "Nine Forms of Burning Heaven".

Experimenting with the practical application of "Infernal Hell" in different environments.

And the ability of "Somersault Cloud" to maneuver and dodge short distances in complex terrain.

On the twelfth day, he stealthily hunted down a mid-tier third-level Shadowblade Leopard that was skilled in camouflage and surprise attacks.

On the morning of the thirteenth day, he ambushed and killed a pair of well-coordinated mid-level Tier 3 Ironbeak Thunderhawks.

However, the real test came on the afternoon of the thirteenth day.

In a deep canyon with steep cliffs on both sides, Chen Xing unexpectedly encountered a tyrant that was entrenched there.

It was a creature that was over fifteen meters long.

A giant snake covered in black and red scales with a metallic sheen!

Most terrifyingly, its neck is forked, with two ferocious snake heads growing from it, one of which is dark red and spews venomous mist.

One of them is a deep blue color and can release a frosty breath.

Its aura was so strong that it had reached the peak of the third tier.

They even faintly touched the threshold of the fourth tier!

It is undoubtedly the king of this canyon.

Peak Tier 3, Two-Headed Mystic Ice Poison Python!

The battle intensified the moment they met.

The two-headed snake's speed, strength, defense, and two completely different characteristics.

However, the complementary attribute attacks brought unprecedented pressure to Chen Xing.

He had no choice but to push the Nine Forms of Burning Heaven to the limit of what he could currently control—the eighth form, "Burning Heaven and Boiling Sea"!

The scorching shadows of the staff clashed repeatedly with the venomous frost of the snake's head, sending rocks flying and shattering against the rock walls on both sides of the canyon.

The realm of "Infernal Hell" unfolds in the canyon, where scorching heat and the frost-covered breath of the two-headed serpent fiercely clash and wear each other down.

He used the Somersault Cloud technique to its fullest extent.

He performed all sorts of incredible dodges and dashes in the narrow canyon, narrowly avoiding fatal attacks several times.

This is a real battle.

Chen Xing made full use of all the combat skills, supernatural abilities, and breathing techniques he had learned.

New wounds kept appearing on my body, accompanied by the burning pain of being corroded by the poisonous fog.

There were frostbite from being rubbed by ice, and even more painful bone fractures from being struck by a snake's tail.

The passive abilities 【Indestructible】 and 【Raging Tide】 were triggered multiple times, allowing him to survive deadly crises time and time again, becoming stronger with each battle.

The battle lasted a full half hour.

Chen Xing bravely withstood a frost breath from the blue snake's head.

The combined power of the eighth move of the "Nine Forms of Burning Heaven" – Burning Heaven and Boiling Sea – is fused with the secondary detonation of "Infernal Burning Heaven".

The Heaven-Splitting Staff, carrying the heat and destruction that could burn the eight wastelands, smashed the seven-inch mark of the red snake's head.

And as it relentlessly rammed into the blue snake's jaw, the fierce battle finally came to an end.

The massive body of the two-headed ice serpent crashed to the ground, causing the canyon floor to tremble violently.

Chen Xing also knelt on one knee, using the Sky-Splitting Staff to support his body.

He was panting heavily, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

He had many deep wounds on his body that exposed bone, his blood and energy were completely depleted, and he was exhausted to the point of death.

But he won.

[Ding! Killed a Tier 3 Peak Two-Headed Mystic Ice Poison Python, Kill Points +3000! Killing a higher-tier opponent grants an additional Kill Points of +1000!]

The system notification, accompanied by the joy of accumulating a massive amount of kill points, washed away the intense physical pain and mental exhaustion.

Four thousand kill points!

He painstakingly processed the invaluable two-headed snake material.

Then they found a relatively hidden natural cave deep in the canyon and plunged inside.

Before he could even set up any warning measures, he fell into a deep sleep due to exhaustion and injuries.

……

Day 14, early morning.

Deep within the cave, Chen Xing slowly regained consciousness through the instinctive operation of the Thunder Breathing Technique.

The wounds on his body were healed by the powerful regenerative ability of the Fighting Saint Body and the nourishment of the Vitality Liquid.

It has stopped bleeding and is starting to scab over.

My blood and energy have recovered by 30-40%, but I am still somewhat listless.

But that deep-seated weariness was relieved a lot.

Just as he was about to continue his meditation—

hum.

Deep within consciousness lies that chaotic region, bearing the imprint of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's divine position.

That towering, arrogant, and flamboyant golden phantom reappeared once again with unparalleled clarity!

He wore a golden chainmail armor, a phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes, and carried a Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff) on his shoulder.

With its piercing eyes, seemingly able to penetrate countless ages, it landed on Chen Xing's consciousness.

Compared to that fleeting glance last time.

Unlike before, when words were left behind and then vanished, this time the phantom was more solid.

His eyes held less scrutiny and more... amusement and approval.

"Little baby,"

That arrogant voice, carrying the weight of countless years.

It directly reverberated within Chen Xing's soul.

"Well done. It's reminiscent of my old Sun Wukong's rampage in Heaven back in the day."

"That's what it meant when they wiped out the seventy-two demon kings of Flower Fruit Mountain. Ruthless enough, insane enough, just to my liking!"

Chen Xingxin was shaken to his core, his consciousness becoming focused.

Looking up at that figure that seemed to support the heavens and the earth, I wanted to speak, but I didn't know what to say.

The phantom seemed not to need his answer, grinning to itself and revealing a set of gleaming white fangs:

"However, just knowing how to kill isn't enough."

"My 'fighting spirit' isn't just about brute force. It's about understanding... 'momentum'!"

He raised the golden cudgel on his shoulder, a staff that seemed capable of stabilizing the four seas.

The Ruyi Jingu Bang, capable of stirring up the universe, gently touched Chen Xing's consciousness.

There was no earth-shattering burst of power.

But in that instant, a profound and indescribable feeling arose.

Like a sudden awakening, it resounded and merged into the deepest part of Chen Xing's soul!

That wasn't a specific supernatural power or technique, but rather a higher level of understanding of the essence of combat.

A way to project one's killing intent, fighting spirit, and momentum onto the world and one's opponent.

It even combines with the mysterious forces of fate to form a vague guide to an overwhelming battle force!

It was as if a brand new door had been opened for him.

It allowed him to see a deeper and broader world beyond the word "battle".

At the same time, a cold and clear system notification sounded:

[Ding! Host has received the infusion of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's divine position's original battle intent!]

[The fusion rate of divine positions has been greatly improved!]

[Current integration level: 1% → 20%!]

20%! It jumped straight from 1% to 20%!

We've already completed nearly half of the 50% required to unlock the [Ruyi Jingu Bang]!
