Chapter 249: Exit, Condensing the Slaughter God Domain

Du Gu Yan didn't stand on ceremony with Gu Xuan; after giving him a fragrant kiss, she directly stored the inner core into her Soul Tool.

Although Gu Xuan's Dao heart was firm, he couldn't help it—this place is the City of Slaughter after all; although he had been suppressing it all along and had some calming pills to assist.

But at this moment he was also barely able to hold back, after all this City of Slaughter constantly guides their negative emotions.

Gu Xuan gave Du Gu Yan a glance, then after taking another calming-focus pill, he only then continued forward with Du Gu Yan.

At this time the temperature continued to rise, and the dark red liquid flowing in the abyss on both sides gradually became clear from barely visible.

As they pressed on, the scorching heat they endured began to gradually increase.

Moreover, what made them somewhat unable to adapt was that the air seemed to contain a special atmosphere; the oppressive feeling deep in their hearts grew ever more obvious, while their own killing intent was released more recklessly, and irritable emotions gradually emerged.

However, Gu Xuan knew these were normal; fortunately he and Du Gu Yan could rely on their own killing intent to resist this special scorching heat.

But the external scorching heat was like luring the source of their slaughter qi within, yet they couldn't stop the release of killing intent; otherwise they would surely be devoured by the terrifying evil qi of this Hell Road.

After entering this Hell Road, the two had constantly been affected by its qi; although killing intent could block this evil qi, it could not completely filter it.

Moreover, Gu Xuan knew that passing this Hell Road required not only sufficient strength but also completing it in the shortest possible time; the longer they stayed, the deeper the influence of that evil qi, and once their minds became disordered, they would likely never be able to leave.

Thinking this, Gu Xuan softly said to Du Gu Yan, "Stay calm, let's speed up."

After speaking, Gu Xuan once again embraced Du Gu Yan, released the Sword Dragon Eight Wings from his back, and shot straight forward.

The reason they only now flew forward was naturally because Gu Xuan knew nothing would block the path behind them anymore.

But Gu Xuan also didn't relax, after all, fearing the one-in-ten-thousand chance.

With increased speed, their approach to the abyss quickened; the air became noticeably hotter, and their vision grew increasingly blurry.

In the abyss flanking the narrow path, the dark red liquid surged and flowed; indeed, that was blood, yet these liquids exuding a bloody smell had the temperature of magma.

As they continued forward, the air grew hotter; with the temperature rise, the blood plasma on both sides rose, and Gu Xuan knew they were not far from the exit.

After half an hour, Gu Xuan and Du Gu Yan, whose minds were continually agitated by the raging killing intent, finally saw the exit.

At this point, even Gu Xuan was already soaked in sweat through his heavy robes, not because of the surrounding temperature but due to the endless slaughter qi around them and Du Gu Yan embraced in front of his chest.

Even Gu Xuan had to expend great effort to resist the influence of this slaughter qi on his desires.

The condition of Du Gu Yan in Gu Xuan's arms was also poor; her skin had flushed completely red, like a ripe apple that would ooze juice with a light bite.

Fortunately, the exit had arrived.

The exit was especially conspicuous, white light condensing into an elliptical light curtain; that was also the end of their journey.

At this moment they were still a kilometer from the exit; the blood plasma here had actually gathered into a small lake blocking their way, bubbles churning in the plasma, a kilometer distance like an uncrossable chasm lying before them.

Of course, this was for others, not for Gu Xuan, since he could fly.

Gu Xuan glanced at Du Gu Yan; at this moment her condition was not good, her emitted killing intent beginning to tremble, and she was exerting all her strength to resist the invasion of evil qi.

Gu Xuan gently stroked Du Gu Yan's forehead and softly said, "The exit is here; we'll be able to leave right away."

Du Gu Yan in Gu Xuan's arms was now like a ripe apple ready for picking; hearing his words, she smiled faintly: "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Xuan."

Actually, along this Hell Road, Du Gu Yan had basically not exerted much strength, relying entirely on Gu Xuan; so although she appeared unwell, she was in fact not as bad as imagined.

Gu Xuan smiled faintly, then looked ahead; a kilometer forward, two hundred meters above in the sky, there was a three-meter-diameter exit emitting a moonlight-like radiance.

Gu Xuan didn't just fly straight over, after all reality isn't a novel—what if there were still an ambush here?

So Gu Xuan didn't move; instead, two dragon swords flew out from his back, heading straight for the cave mouth, and only after confirming there was no danger did he fly over while embracing Du Gu Yan.

Soon, Gu Xuan and Du Gu Yan arrived at the cave mouth, and they suddenly discovered that the killing intent surrounding their bodies seemed to be pulled by some special force.

After a final glance down at the blood pool, with a whoosh, Gu Xuan, embracing Du Gu Yan, darted into that white light curtain.

On the other side, in the spacious dark chamber stood that huge chair; the Slaughter King reclined upon it, his eyes flashing red light at this moment.

In the darkness his low murmur sounded: "Is this the person the higher-ups have taken a liking to? It seems the Hell Road is too easy for them."

But soon he let out a cold snort: "Hah! Two more Slaughter Gods have appeared—who knows if it's good or bad..."

……………

Everything around seemed to be changing; the instant Gu Xuan and Du Gu Yan rushed into the white light curtain, they immediately felt as if their bodies had entered a special world.

The surroundings were a expanse of snowy white void; Gu Xuan's External Soul Bone was constrained by a special force, in this pressure it all returned to his body, and Du Gu Yan before him consequently detached from his embrace.

In this vast white world, he could exert no strength at all; the only sensation was icy cold.

It seemed as if countless coldness were converging upon him while countless coldness were being released from within his body; in this white void, Gu Xuan alone bore that terrifying pain.

He tried to grab Du Gu Yan's hand, but his reach met only emptiness; he could neither see nor touch it.

Gu Xuan harbored worry in his heart, but he knew that since he himself was still alive, Du Gu Yan at least would not be in mortal danger.

The cold sensation that ought not to have appeared still showed up; it was not a genuine temperature change, but a chill brought by the killing intent.

At this moment, the purest slaughter qi surged rapidly into Gu Xuan's body; each intrusion made him tremble.

When that cold gradually stiffened his inner heart, awareness also began to quietly fade along with his consciousness, and at this moment Gu Xuan also realized this should be the formation of the Slaughter God Domain.

Exactly, this is a domain, a domain condensed from killing intent; within the domain he was like rootless duckweed.

The might of the domain goes without saying; in a sense, this Slaughter God Domain is far stronger than most domains, ranking among the strongest of them.

Moreover, Du Gu Yan shared the same sensation as Gu Xuan; her condition was basically no different from his.
