Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Mysterious Heavy Ruler

Chapter 59 Hell Road 3

The Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent is a primordial beast, incredibly venomous. Adults can exceed ten meters in length and possess the most potent fire poison among snakes. After ten thousand years of cultivation, it can form an inner core. It resides within its nine heads. When the inner core is revealed, the world loses its color. Whoever obtains its inner core will cause all other snakes to flee in terror.

It is the supreme among snakes.

In the original timeline, Ma Hongjun's seventh spirit ring was the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, and his Fire Phoenix martial spirit evolved into the Seven-Headed Fire Phoenix, which evolved into the Nine-Headed Fire Phoenix when he became a Title Douluo.

The Ten-Headed Fiery Serpent is incredibly poisonous, with its fire poison being the most potent, arguably approaching the ultimate form of fire. After all, fire poison is considered fire. As a result, Ma Hongjun's martial soul evolved into a super martial soul, and he eventually gained the qualification to become a first-level god, but unfortunately, he failed.

However, this time Dugu Bo evolved into a nine-headed celestial serpent, but not completely. Xiao Yi felt that this inner core should be given to Dugu Bo. After Dugu Bo took it, he should be able to evolve completely. It's just unknown what form he would take.

As for Ma Hongjun? Sorry, we're not close, and we even have a grudge. Xiao Yi isn't a good person. He spared Ma Hongjun's life when he teased Dugu Yan before, but if you provoke him again, don't blame him for being ruthless.

The inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent can detach from the body to attack. When it detaches, sever the connection between the inner core and the serpent's body to kill the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent.

But to force it to use the power of its inner core, Xiao Yi used the Xuanzhong Ruler to unleash a blade of energy, the sharp blade of energy striking the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent.

The Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent never expected that this human would be so uncivilized as to ambush it, an old comrade who had lived for over ten thousand years. It was always the snakes who would ambush them; no other creature had ever dared to do so. It was enraged.

Anger finally surfaced in those golden-red eyes, and the nine golden-red growths on the giant snake's back shone even brighter.

It seemed to be croaking angrily.

His body arched over on the narrow path, the nine fleshy growths perfectly aligned with Xiao Yi's location.

Suddenly, the nine tumors shattered simultaneously, releasing nine streams of golden-red liquid. These liquids didn't shoot straight through the air, but rather towards the area above and in front of Xiao Yi. The nine streams merged in mid-air, and just as they were about to reach Xiao Yi, they paused. All the liquids simultaneously contracted, transforming into a small, golden-red sphere no bigger than a fist, before crashing down upon Xiao Yi.

"We've been waiting for you to use your inner core," Xiao Yi said.

Although Xiao Yi knew that the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent would use its inner core to attack, he did not expect it to come straight at him.

Xiao Yi threw out the Xuanzhong Ruler, and its weight of over ten tons, combined with Xiao Yi's throw, gathered the surrounding air and slammed it onto the heads of the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpents.

Boom—

The Xuanzhong Ruler shattered the head of the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent, and the inner core that was about to smash into Xiao Yi also fell down uncontrollably.

Xiao Yi released his soul power to draw the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent over. Although the inner core contained a deadly poison, Xiao Yi himself was immune to all poisons, so he was unharmed.

Xiao Yi looked at the small golden-red ball in his hand, which had the patterns of ten Fiery Sun Serpents inside. After looking at it for a while, Xiao Yi put the inner core into his storage soul tool.

This inner core is extremely valuable; it can be transformed into a spirit ring, providing a significant boost to fire-attribute and snake-type spirit masters. Unfortunately, it's useless to Dugu Yan, as Dugu Bo's spirit is only a hair's breadth away from complete evolution. It can be said that this inner core was specially prepared for Dugu Bo.

Give this inner core to Dugu Bo. After all, Dugu Bo's grandfather has helped him a great deal, and this inner core might help him take another step forward. His Nine-Headed Heavenly Serpent is already a very strong serpent, and if it absorbs the inner core of the supreme serpent, it should be able to evolve again.

Moreover, it will be difficult for Dugu Bo to make further breakthroughs. He already has four soul bones, but he is still missing a torso bone and a left leg bone. However, it is very difficult to find a high-quality torso bone that suits him. This inner core may be able to help Dugu Bo take another step forward.

Perhaps the energy of the inner core can help Dugu Bo increase the age of his spirit ring. After all, it's Ma Hongjun's seventh spirit ring from the original timeline, so Dugu Bo might see a significant increase.

Dugu Bo is currently at level 96, and swallowing this inner core should raise him by half a level or a level. His martial soul should also evolve. Xiao Yi felt that the stronger Dugu Bo was, the easier it would be for him to get things done.

After Xiao Yi dealt with the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, including the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King he had dealt with earlier, he had been fighting with all his might. His soul power was somewhat depleted, so he planned to rest for a while, replenish his food and water, and then make a final push through the Hell Road.

The final hurdle is a sprint, and Xiao Yi wants to get through it in top form.

After resting for half an hour, Xiao Yi continued forward. As he went on, the burning sensation he felt gradually increased.

What made him even more uncomfortable was that there seemed to be a special atmosphere in the air, and the oppressive feeling became more and more obvious in the depths of their hearts, while his own murderous aura was released more recklessly.

"Let's get over here quickly, I don't want to stay in this damn place for another second."

Xiao Yi silently thought to himself, "The final trial of the Hell Road tests one's will."

As Xiao Yi's flight speed increased, so did his speed as he approached the abyss. The air became noticeably hotter, and his vision became increasingly blurry.

Even with the mental power of a Soul Douluo, Xiao Yi could only see about a kilometer away in the surrounding light red mist.

In the abyss on both sides of the narrow road, dark red liquid churned and flowed. Yes, it was blood, but this bloody liquid had the temperature of magma.

Fortunately, Xiao Yi had taken the Fiery Apricot Dew, which gave him good resistance to fire. The Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum also made his body strong enough that any other Soul King would have been defeated.

After flying for about half an hour, Xiao Yi, whose mind was constantly stimulated by the killing intent, finally saw the exit.

Under the combined influence of the murderous aura and the environment, even if Xiao Yi had a strong will and thick nerves, he couldn't withstand it. In this situation, he could only hold on for half an hour at most. Just then, Xiao Yi saw the exit in the distance.

The exit was particularly noticeable, where white light condensed into an oval-shaped light curtain, marking the end of Xiao Yi's journey.

Finally, it's time to leave! Although the exit is above the narrow road, it's no problem for Xiao Yi. He flew directly into the white exit at top speed.

Everything around him seemed to be changing. The moment Xiao Yi flew into the white exit, he felt as if his body had entered a special world. The surroundings were a snow-white void, and the golden feather sword wings he had released were forced back into his body.

In this white, desolate world, I couldn't muster any strength. The only feeling I had was cold.

It felt as if countless icy energies were converging upon him, while simultaneously releasing countless more from within. In this white void, Xiao Yi gritted his teeth and persevered.

The cold sensation that shouldn't have appeared still did occur; it wasn't a real change in temperature, but rather a chill brought by murderous intent. The purest killing intent rapidly invaded Xiao Yi's body, causing him to tremble with each intrusion.

As the cold gradually hardened his heart, his senses began to fade away along with his consciousness.

Xiao Yi knew that this was the process of the God of Slaughter Domain condensing, and that it had reached the stage of fusion. He did not resist and simply let the killing energy enter his body. Before long, Xiao Yi could not hold on and fainted.
