Douluo Continent: Starting from Awakening the Vermilion Bird Martial Soul

Inside this hellish road, the three of them still could not use their soul skills. Tang Hao released the Clear Sky Hammer and walked at the front, Bibi Dong was in the middle, and Di Hong was at the back, with the three of them five meters apart.

"Why is it getting hotter?"

Bibi Dong waved her hand to fan the air, but all she managed to create was hot air.

"Because we're going downhill." Tang Hao, who was at the front, said calmly, gripping the Clear Sky Hammer tightly. His eyes were filled with vigilance, not only for the surrounding environment but also for Bibi Dong behind him.

Although the three of them spent two years together in the Killing City, he always remained wary of Bibi Dong.

For no other reason than that she came from the Spirit Hall. Although he knew that Bibi Dong was a kind and righteous person, it did not stop him from being wary of her.

"Go down?" Bibi Dong was surprised. She clearly remembered that the three of them went uphill, and there was no slope here.

Di Hong, who was at the very back, would occasionally look down. Although the temperature was getting higher and higher, he was completely unaware of it, as the temperature had no effect on him whatsoever.

After walking for a while, they saw several skeletons ahead.

After examining the situation for a while, Tang Hao said, "These people must have been those who ventured into the Hell Road before, but they all died here."

"Fighting among themselves?" Bibi Dong looked at the skeletons. There was nothing else in this place, so it could only be fighting among themselves.

"That's the only way. After all, everyone has their own agenda, and no one can be completely trusted," Di Hong said calmly.

Bibi Dong glanced at him.

"Just like you don't trust me."

Di Hong didn't say anything, but continued walking forward. Bibi Dong glared at him and then followed. Tang Hao looked at the corpses thoughtfully. Logically speaking, even if those who ventured into Hell Road had their own agendas, they shouldn't be killing each other here.

After all, there's nothing of value in this place.

After thinking for a while, he immediately contacted God Hong.

As they walked, a sudden commotion arose around them, and the three immediately became alert as swarms of dark red bats appeared around them.

Bats circled around them, emitting sharp cries, but did not attack them. At that moment, Bibi Dong and Tang Hao's eyes turned bloodshot, and their murderous aura emanated uncontrollably. Even Di Hong was the same.

Di Hong frowned and immediately released the Vermilion Bird Domain.

The red light enveloped the three of them, making them much more alert.

“A talent domain.” Bibi Dong looked at Di Hong in shock.

"Once we get rid of these bats, we can continue on our way." Di Hong released his martial spirit, and as the phantom of the Vermilion Bird solidified, a powerful burst of fire erupted, instantly incinerating the surrounding bats.

But after burning these mutated bats, another group of bats appeared.

"Leave it to me." Just as Di Hong was about to make another move, Bibi Dong stopped her.

Then she unleashed her Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul.

Six purple spider legs appeared behind her, followed by a purple light emanating from her body—this was her Death Spider Queen's innate domain, the [Death Domain].

Once the death zone was deployed, the potent poison within it instantly corroded the swarm of bats that had appeared.

Although Tang Hao's expression remained unchanged, his mind was in turmoil. Bibi Dong actually possessed a talent domain, and this domain seemed incredibly powerful. Among the three, he was the only one without a domain, which was rather awkward.

Fortunately, the only consolation is that Bibi Dong's strength is inferior to his own, but it seems there's nothing to be proud of, given her age; he's eight years older than her.

After defeating the mutated bats, the three-headed bat king did not appear as Di Hong had imagined. However, this was for the best, saving them from having to fight again.

Bibi Dong looked at Di Hong with a hint of smugness in her eyes; she also possessed a talent domain.

Di Hong ignored her, and the three of them continued walking forward.

After walking for a while, the group saw a giant snake, ten meters long, coiled around the road ahead. The snake was dark red all over, with nine fleshy growths resembling red mushrooms running from its head to its back. Upon seeing the snake, Di Hong suddenly laughed.

“Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent.” Bibi Dong recognized the serpent.

"How could there be ten Fiery Sun Serpents here?"

She had only ever seen this kind of strange beast in the Spirit Hall's records; she never expected to find one in this Hell Road.

Before they could prepare, the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent opened its blood-red maw and pounced on them. The surrounding temperature dropped lower and lower, and there was a strong smell of blood. The three of them were constantly losing strength. Di Hong was the strongest, so he was fine.

But it's unclear how long Bibi Dong and Tang Hao can hold out.

Although none of them are ordinary soul masters, the longer they stay here, the more disadvantageous it will be for them.

The moment the ten Fiery Sun Serpents lunged forward, Tang Hao leaped up, roaring as he swung his Clear Sky Hammer at the serpents' heads.

"Oh!"

The Haotian Hammer slammed heavily onto the snake's head, sending the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent flying backward. Tang Hao was also sent flying, but Di Hong caught him from behind, preventing him from retreating for long.

At this moment, the enraged Ten-Headed Sun Serpent let out a strange cry like that of a baby, then opened its mouth and spat out a beam of red light at the three of them. The three of them leaped up to dodge, but the red light directly destroyed a section of the passage below.

After the red light dissipated, a red mist began to spread.

In mid-air, Tang Hao once again swung the Clear Sky Hammer towards the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, while Bibi Dong also activated her Martial Soul to attack it.

The two of them worked together to smash the ten Fiery Sun Serpents down, and landed on the section of the road that had not been destroyed.

Emperor Hong flapped his Vermilion Bird wings and hovered in mid-air.

Looking at the red mist below, he raised his hand and released a ball of flame that burned the red mist to ashes.

"Be careful!" Tang Hao hurriedly warned. Di Hong turned around and saw that the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent had reappeared and was already behind him.

Just as it opened its blood-red maw, ready to swallow it whole, Di Hong flapped its wings and flew above it.

"You two go first, I'll handle this."

"Okay." Tang Hao knew that Di Hong had the strength, so there was no need for him to stay here. He and Bibi Dong continued running forward.

After the two left, Di Hong looked at the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent.

"Since you dare to come out, I'll gladly accept your inner core."

After saying that, he drew his longsword from his waist, then gathered his soul power on the blade and locked onto a fleshy lump on the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent. However, the lump was now protected by a layer of outer shell.

But this meant nothing to Di Hong.

As the longsword was thrown, a layer of flame covered its blade, and the sword accurately struck the body of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent. In just an instant, the shell covering the serpent's body was shattered.

The longsword pierced through a tumor.

One of the tumors burst open, and the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent let out a painful roar. It then spat out a beam of red light mixed with the smell of blood at Di Hong, but Di Hong easily dodged it. Then it lashed out with its tail at Di Hong, but he dodged it again.

The layer of flames covering the longsword began to spread across the entire body of the ten-headed blazing sun serpent.

Chapter 101. The Inner Core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent

Chapter 101 Ten-Headed Fierce Sun Snake Inner Pill

The ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent, covered in Vermilion Bird flames, struggled desperately to extinguish the flames on its body, but to no avail; the Vermilion Bird flames burned ever brighter.

Unable to extinguish the flames on its body, the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpents desperately attacked Di Hong, but all their attacks were dodged.

Driven to the brink of despair, it suddenly opened its blood-red maw and began to gather all its power. Before long, a small golden-red ball appeared before Di Hong's eyes.

"Humph."

Di Hong chuckled; this was exactly what he had been waiting for.

Feeling the immense energy emanating from the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, Emperor Hong once again activated the Vermilion Bird Domain.

The domain directly severed the connection between the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent and its inner core. If it were to detonate the inner core, everything around it would be destroyed.

Then a red soul bone lit up on his head.

"Fire Phoenix Head Soul Bone Skill: Vermilion Bird Vision!"

A blinding red light burst forth, and the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, which was originally preparing to launch a full-force attack, froze in place. Di Hong stopped attacking and quietly watched it.

At this moment, in the vision of the Ten-Headed Fiery Serpent, it was already in a world full of flames. There were endless flames around it, and if it looked up, it could see a Vermilion Bird that blotted out the sky and was completely bathed in flames.

Compared to that Vermilion Bird, I was utterly insignificant. Just then, endless flames descended from the sky.

Driven by fear, the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent launched a relentless attack.

It even forgot that it was still burning with flames.

This is one of Di Hong's head soul bone skills, which can put a person in an illusion, where they will continuously consume their own power until their power and mental strength are exhausted. In Di Hong's view, the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent was just attacking upwards randomly at this moment, and its connection with its inner core had long been severed by the illusion. Although it is a strange beast, it does not prevent the soul bone skill from working on it.

Once its strength is exhausted, death awaits it.

After a long time, the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpents, which had been attacking continuously, finally exhausted their energy and slumped downwards.

Di Hong didn't want to waste any more time with it, so he released the Li Fire again and burned it to ashes.

After the death of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, Hell Road returned to calm, and its inner core floated in mid-air.

Di Hong enveloped it with his soul power and took it into his hand. He examined the inner core for a while. This thing was useless to him, but it might come in handy in the future. After putting the inner core into his soul tool, he went to catch up with Tang Hao and the others.

The further down he went, the higher the temperature became, but this did not have much of an effect on Di Hong. Soon he saw Tang Hao and Bibi Dong, who were sitting cross-legged, suppressing their killing intent. The closer they got to the exit, the more agitated they became, and the stronger their killing intent grew.

If it is not suppressed, it is very likely to get out of control.

This is why, over the millennia, countless people have ventured into the Hell Road, but only six have ultimately become the God of Slaughter; the vast majority of people have not even reached that final step.

The murderous aura was stirred up, and Di Hong used his soul power to suppress it.

Upon arriving behind the two and sensing their familiar presence, Tang Hao and Bibi Dong opened their eyes simultaneously.
