Suddenly, from the cool, bright island to the scorching, twisted underground, even Tang Sui's vision briefly turned black.
The next second, a low roar streaked past overhead, accompanied by the scraping sound of something hard rolling against the spiky rock walls all around.
Tang Sui looked up and gasped.
The blood-red light cocoon, like a giant earthworm stretching its body, wrapped in layers of overlapping membranes, emerged more than halfway from the bottomless orange-red magma. It rapidly scraped against the sharp rock spikes, as if trying to break through the enveloping light cocoon with external force, its massive body constantly moving and colliding with the rock spikes.
However, even the special rock formations underground in the Slaughter City could not compare to the light cocoon filled with immense energy.
The result was, naturally, the defeat of the rock spikes.
"Bang bang!"
The Ten-Headed Sun Serpent, encased in the light cocoon, struck the rock walls with increasing frequency, becoming visibly more agitated.
"Sizzle—"
The rocks that the magma of Slaughter City could not erode instantly melted upon contact with the blood-red light cocoon, flowing down like molten iron into the magma, forming a pool of blood-red liquid.
The vibrations created by the Ten-Headed Sun Serpent were so intense that, by common sense, one could tell the entire Slaughter City was likely shaking.
And the Hell Road underground was largely destroyed, continuously collapsing, making it impassable.
Tang Sui then noticed that the magma level underground seemed to have risen considerably, indicating that the Ten-Headed Sun Serpent had been struggling for quite some time.
"If this continues, your Slaughter City might melt away," the system interjected unexpectedly.
Tang Sui looked at the fox mask that was flying around her and asked, "Are the people inside Slaughter City settled?"
The fox mask's eyes lit up, and it spoke, "Of course. In the name of the Slaughter King, I ordered the citizens of Slaughter City to temporarily evacuate outside the city. Tang Chen has been temporarily placed in my spatial dimension; he has strong spiritual power, so he should be fine."
"This guy is causing too much commotion, and this is the core of Slaughter City, equivalent to the dragon脉, closely linked to the entire Slaughter City. The tremors have been lasting too long, and with Hell Road constantly melting, just to be safe, I directly ordered the law enforcement team to supervise others to temporarily move out of the city."
As it spoke, its voice gained a chilling edge, "Those who tried to escape Slaughter City amidst the chaos have been dealt with by the law enforcement team. All that remains are those with pure faith."
Tang Sui nodded and looked at the rock wall top less than ten meters away. The light in her eyes flickered, finally settling into a look of determination. "Then let's break through the rock layer above and create a wider space for Uncle Snake."
The system paused and reminded her, "Above Hell Road is the main hall of Slaughter City."
It is also the place where you and the Slaughter King once resided.
Tang Sui knew this, of course, but she had no regrets.
"As long as the people are still here, there will be no shortage of memories."
"Although it can be done underground, I want them to witness firsthand the birth of this miracle."
As soon as she spoke, black-red light appeared in her eyes, and the dense demonic energy in the air was madly absorbed into her body.
Deprived of ample energy, the light of the blood cocoon dimmed slightly, and the Ten-Headed Sun Serpent's warning roars, filled with violent killing intent, emanated from within.
This was the threat born from the instinct for survival after losing its reason.
"Wait a moment longer, Uncle Snake. Soon, you will be able to break free."
She said soothingly.
Break free...
The impact of the blood cocoon against its surroundings paused upon catching the keyword. The threatening roars became much quieter, but it remained in a state of instinctive caution, or perhaps subconsciously believed the person speaking.
Tang Sui waved her hand, the gauze fluttering. Numerous balls of demonic energy, condensed with terrifying power, appeared in the void, trembling. Like billiard balls in snooker, their power resonated, stretching into strips and forming a giant, blade-like torso. As Tang Sui raised her hand, it flowed through the void, making a horizontal slicing gesture.
The colossal light blade cut through the void with the speed of a shooting star, splitting the extraordinarily thick surface layer.
"Boom boom boom—!"
After the earth-shattering roars, bone-chilling winds poured in.
Rock peaks crumbled, buildings collapsed, and debris rained down like a torrential downpour.
The giant light blade, after breaking through the underground, flew hundreds of meters straight ahead, even splitting the illusory purplish-red moon in the sky in half, causing it to distort like a water surface stirred by the wind.
The people who had already evacuated more than five hundred meters outside the city walls of Slaughter City also saw the terrifying and massive light slash.
Before they could utter sounds of surprise or confusion, the next moment, an even more intense tremor came from beneath their feet.
Horses adorned with armor stomped their hooves restlessly.
Sensing the fear of their mounts, the knights on horseback furrowed their brows, gripping their weapons tightly.
"Quick, quickly look at the main hall!"
One of the supervisors of the Slaughtering Arena pointed at the towering palace hall that stood like a lighthouse in the dark.
The exquisite hall shattered like scattered puzzle pieces, fine ancient reliefs cracking into countless sharp stone fragments that exploded and fell into the scalding magma rising directly from underground.
The main hall of Hell, which had existed for thousands of years, collapsed with a deafening roar under countless gazes.
"The main hall of Hell..." The Hell Messenger looked at the collapsing main hall in disbelief, his heart pounding rapidly.
"Whoosh—!"
The scorching wind brushed against their hard armor, rough faces, and bowed hair, mixing with the familiar bloody scent of the Yellow Springs Dew.
Along with the wind came another terrifying pressure.
"Boom boom!"
The blood-red giant cocoon rushed into people's vision. Unbeknownst to them, the purplish-red moon above Slaughter City was silently replaced.
Eerie black-red moonlight fell upon the blood cocoon, which had broken through the surface and propped up its massive body.
Even from a distance, people could feel that the air seemed to be filled with an unknown energy they were unaware of. Sudan Novel Network
"This... my God's Eye is trembling."
A soul master with a stone carving hanging from his waist looked down and saw the gem in the center of his God's Eye, which was originally dim, begin to flicker with starlike light of the same color.
"Mine too..."
"It's glowing! Is it the gods, are the gods about to descend?!"
"Are the gods finally going to take us away?"
"I want to go... no, I want to return! Return to where I belong!"
The quiescent crowd began to stir.
The law enforcement knights, who knew about these people secretly worshipping a god and that their superiors had tacitly allowed this behavior, became secretly vigilant.
The staff in the middle and lower ranks, who were aware of the significance of God's Eyes to these soul masters, instinctively held their breath and retreated together, guarding against these people whose emotions had risen inexplicably and whose eyes were filled with madness, in case they suddenly erupted in violence.
Even the Hell Messengers felt a chill from their obviously abnormal mental state.
—Author's notes—
There was a temporary matter to deal with at home today regarding delicate neighborly relations. There will be no extra chapters for now; the small extra will be added on Friday.
That is to say, if you want to plant flowers and buy pots, you need to have a separate small yard or balcony.
Never place beautiful flower pots on the green space by the entrance of a unit building. Ugly ones are ignored, but beautiful ones will be stolen. And you'll never know what's behind your neighbor's smiling facade.
