Douluo Continent: From Rusty Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 92 Killing the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent

Soon after, Ji Wuming slowly opened his eyes in the extremely hot Hell Road. He saw one short and extremely narrow stone corridor after another appear before him, and below him was billowing, steaming hellish lava.

Without any hesitation, Ji Wuming immediately began walking slowly down the covered bridge.

Suddenly, nearly a hundred dark red bats appeared around him, flying rapidly towards him.

"These must be the descendants of the Dark Gold Nine-Headed Bat King, but you are not my prey."

As Ji Wuming's soul power surged out, a dark red blood energy barrier suddenly appeared, and the overwhelming blood killing aura within it directly annihilated all the bats that rushed over.

This was the innate domain that Ji Wuming had not used for the past six months since he began absorbing blood essence by hunting down fallen beings—the Emperor-Slaying Domain.

Although Ji Wuming doesn't use this domain often, it has still evolved considerably through the absorption of blood energy by his martial soul.

Within the Emperor's Domain, all attributes of all living beings will be suppressed by 40%. In addition, any creature that is weak can be instantly annihilated by the power of killing and darkness.

Seeing that the entire swarm of bats had perished at Ji Wuming's hands, the King of Slaughter, though furious, still spoke with interest from within the palace.

"You wretched brat, this is merely the prelude to your death. My more powerful kin have yet to emerge!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a volcanic eruption of magma erupted from the depths of Hell Road, and a five-meter-tall, dark red, ferocious three-headed beast emerged from the magma.

A pair of dark red wings vibrated rapidly, causing the high temperature inside the magma to sweep into the sky. At this moment, the entire Hell Road was like a real hell on earth.

"roar--"

Several red sonic waves followed one after another. When the sonic attacks hit the Emperor-Slaying Domain, they were like hitting cotton, having no effect whatsoever and dissipating instantly.

The three-headed dark gold bat became even more enraged upon seeing this. Its wings flapped faster and faster, and with a sharp screech, it charged rapidly towards Ji Wuming.

Seeing this, Ji Wuming felt no pressure at all; on the contrary, he was very relaxed. Using his back foot as leverage, he leaped into the air, seizing the optimal angle for his attack.

"Sea Waves Unpredictable, Empty Roars Overturn the Sea and Kill".

In an instant, time seemed to freeze around Ji Wuming, and the dark gold three-headed bats flew at an unusually slow speed.

Ji Wuming used his Soul Bone skill to quickly fly to its side, and the Blood Thunder Spear shot out like an arrow.

"Pfft—"

The spear pierced through the three heads of the dark gold three-headed bat in succession, causing it to fall into the lava, while Ji Wuming landed steadily on the corridor bridge.

"A mere bat with a strength of no more than ten thousand years dares to try and ambush me? What a joke."

Ji Wuming quickly moved towards the exit. The next second, the entire Hell Road shook violently, countless covered bridges and their connecting points shattered one after another, and stones fell into the lava. Only one extremely sturdy covered bridge remained standing.

A giant serpent, nearly 15 meters long, dark red in color, with nine red fleshy spheres on its back, shot out from the lava. It coiled around a stone pillar of a covered bridge pavilion and rapidly ascended, its eyes fixed intently on Ji Wuming in the opposite pavilion.

It flicked out its huge, bright red tongue and let out a fierce cry like that of a baby.

Ji Wuming gripped the Blood Thunder Spear, his expression solemn as he gazed at the familiar yet strangely unfamiliar giant serpent before him.

"As expected of the ancient beast, the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, it displayed an aura far surpassing that of some ordinary 60,000 to 70,000-year-old soul beasts."

Ji Wuming could conclude that this ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent possessed the terrifying strength of a 60,000-70,000-year-old soul beast, especially considering that it was in an environment as suitable for its survival as Hell Road. Its overall strength was probably no less than that of a 80,000-90,000-year-old soul beast.

Its greatest weakness is the red, crystal-like fleshy mass growing on its back; breaking through this mass can severely injure it.

For Ji Wuming at this moment, the severe injury was far less valuable than absorbing the snake's blood.

At this moment, the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent was already restless. An extremely hot venomous ray shot out from its mouth, heading towards Ji Wuming on the pavilion.

Ji Wuming quickly threw a bag of realgar wine in front of him, took out a fire tinder, and activated his soul power. With an exhale, his soul power burst forth, igniting the flames on the fire tinder and setting the realgar wine in the air ablaze.

"Boom——"

The violent explosion from the burning realgar wine forcibly neutralized the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent's strongest attack. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ji Wuming leaped into the air.

"Sea Waves Unpredictable, Empty Roars Overturn the Sea and Kill".

The 60-meter vacuum temporarily rendered the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpents immobile. Ji Wuming, suspended in mid-air, wielded his Blood Thunder Spear, aiming at a ball of flesh.

"A stormy night, the wind and rain penetrate to the extreme."

With a single thrust of the spear, the third red fleshy orb on the back of the Ten-Headed Sun Serpent shattered like crystal, the spear piercing deep into the serpent's body.

However, as Ji Wuming unleashed his first self-created soul skill, the effect of his third soul skill rapidly dissipated. The Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpents, struggling fiercely, emitted mournful cries like those of an infant.

Then, with a "bang",

The entire vacuum zone exploded with a deafening roar. The ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent lashed out with its tail, striking Ji Wuming in mid-air. His sternum nearly shattered, and he plummeted downwards at breakneck speed.

The clothes on his body were quickly scorched as he fell, and even his skin gradually dried out and he suffered burns.

Ji Wuming quickly adjusted, and just as he was about to be swallowed by the lava, he took flight again, twisting his body to avoid the charging ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent's mouth, and grabbing the Blood Thunder Spear embedded in the serpent's body.

"There is absolutely no way to hide under the lava again."

The latest novel is first published here!

Ji Wuming endured the pain inflicted by the attack, gripped the hilt of the Blood Thunder Spear with both hands, and thrust it downwards with all his might, then parried diagonally.

"roar--"

The ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent, hurtling violently as it plunged into the lava, rapidly raised its heads and continued to slide across the lava surface.

"ah--"

A sharp cry of pain rang out.

At this moment, the lava splashed out like seawater, sticking to Ji Wuming's clothes and skin, and even splashing across the left side of his face, causing severe burns to his left cheek and exposing the black facial bones inside.

Ji Wuming endured the burning pain,

"Killing Domain!"

As he unleashed his domain, Ji Wuming intensified his attack, thrusting his spear further diagonally into the body of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, its blood-draining speed rapidly increasing.

Meanwhile, the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent's tail lashed out wildly, splashing even more lava, attempting to completely incinerate Ji Wuming on its back.

However, the domain acted as a circular barrier, directly blocking the splashing lava. The original black material of the Blood Thunder Spear gradually turned crimson, and the entire body of the Blood Dragon on the spear shaft continued to grow stronger. Its blood-red claws, legs, and horns gradually materialized under the infusion of dark red energy.
