A narrow path, less than half a foot wide and barely wide enough for both feet to stand together, led into the unknown darkness. Qian Renhan did not use the wings on his back; instead, he stood firmly on the path, his mental focus razor-sharp, not feeling the slightest fear of the abyss beneath him. Holding the Dark Holy Sword, he walked forward with measured steps, as if on a leisurely stroll.

The scorching heat of the Slaughter Road had no effect on him, as his Fallen Angel Martial Soul's cold attribute rendered the intense heat useless. It didn't cause him to feel even a momentary dizziness.

After walking nearly three hundred meters, Qian Renhan's ears twitched, hearing a buzzing sound coming from ahead. After a brief moment, the buzzing grew louder and closer, and soon he could vaguely see red shadows swiftly approaching. As they got closer, the red figures merged into a massive group—there were not just one or two, but a swarm of them. At least a thousand.

These creatures were blood-red bats, resembling a shrunken version of the blood-red patterns left on the surface of the Slaughter Killing Field. Each blood bat was about a foot long, but with huge wings that spread over a meter, their mouths filled with sharp fangs.

Qian Renhan, a battle-hardened fallen one who had killed countless enemies, had no reason to be concerned about a thousand bats.

He didn't swing his sword nor slow his pace; instead, his soul power erupted. Black soul power turned into fine sword energy, swirling around him to form a protective shield.

Although the bats could use echolocation to avoid obstacles, they were helpless against the tiny, nearly undetectable sword energy that followed no rules. The blood bats that tried to charge at him with gaping mouths were torn to shreds, their bodies falling into the blood river below, causing a series of "plop-plop" sounds.

Despite their terrifying appearance, these bats had the physical strength of a great soul master at best and were relatively fragile.

As more of their companions were slain, the remaining bats learned to be cautious and no longer dared to advance. However, they still followed closely behind Qian Renhan.

"Screech." A larger blood bat suddenly shrieked, and immediately, the rest of the bats joined in, emitting high-pitched cries that echoed through the Slaughter Road. The entire swarm seemed to grow excited, their cries overlapping, causing Qian Renhan to furrow his brow.

The bats were celebrating, but Qian Renhan's anger flared. He spoke coldly, "Quiet."

The Dark God's domain erupted in an instant. In just a moment, all the blood bats lost their life signs, their bodies falling toward the blood river below.

"Screech—"

A sharp, furious cry rang out, filled with rage and murderous intent. Qian Renhan's gaze shifted to the source. At the far end of the narrow path, a massive creature was suspended upside down. Bathed in a faint red light, its dark golden body emitted a faint glow.

The creature was over four meters long, with two enormous claws gripping the narrow path. Each claw had a diameter of over a meter, sharply embedded into the stone.

Amidst the screeches of the blood bats, the dark golden creature slowly spread a pair of massive wings. The wingspan reached a terrifying ten meters. With a sudden release of its claws, the creature flapped its enormous wings, lifting its massive body into the air. It was an enormous bat.

Its body was dark golden, and most terrifying of all, it had three heads. The remaining blood bats gathered behind the dark golden bat, seeking shelter.

"About the strength of a Soul Emperor," Qian Renhan mused. "In the end, it's nothing but a trial for those who cannot use soul skills. There's no need to waste time. Let's move on to the end of the Slaughter Road."

With a single horizontal slash of his sword, Qian Renhan cleaved through the dark golden three-headed bat, cutting its three heads and body in half.

After dealing with the three-headed bat, Qian Renhan jumped up the Slaughter Road. He leapt five meters, and soon, another faint hissing sound reached his ears.

Qian Renhan halted, silently observing the massive form ahead. A dark red body lay coiled there. It was difficult to tell exactly how large it was, but a simple observation suggested it was a snake.

As the hissing continued, the dark red snake began to slowly slither forward. As it came closer, Qian Renhan could finally make out its appearance. There were nine protrusions along its head and back, each one resembling a bright red mushroom, with what appeared to be blood flowing inside them. The snake's underbelly was particularly massive, bulging out on the narrow path. Its length easily exceeded ten meters.

"This is the Ten-Headed Fierce Sun Snake? According to the original text, its core seems to have the ability to refine flames and evolve a martial soul. I haven't been back for two years, but I can take its core back and have it absorbed by my silly sister to increase her flame rank. Later, I'll find a ten-thousand-year light-attribute soul beast for her to absorb, and her Angel Martial Soul should evolve to my level."

Qian Renhan quickly began considering the path of martial soul evolution for Qian Renxue. With the help of holy attributes from the celestial herb, her martial soul could reach the eight-winged level. All that remained was to enhance the light and flame aspects—flames would be improved with the core of the Ten-Headed Fierce Sun Snake, and light would come from the soul ring of a ten-thousand-year light-attribute soul beast.

There were no ten-thousand-year light-attribute soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest, but it didn't matter. With the Martial Soul Hall's resources, a ten-thousand-year light-attribute soul beast could be acquired with ease.

The Ten-Headed Fierce Sun Snake propped itself up halfway, hissing as it looked down at Qian Renhan, who was lost in thought. It was somewhat puzzled. Over the past thousand years, every victor who had passed this way had fled in fear upon seeing it, wishing they had more legs to run faster. But today, this person hadn't reacted at all.

But soon, the Ten-Headed Fierce Sun Snake was left dumbfounded. Behind Qian Renhan, his enormous Fallen Angel Martial Soul rose up, towering and imposing, easily crushing the snake's presence. The Fallen Angel spread its arms wide, and nine black holy swords radiating tremendous sword energy encircled it.

Qian Renhan raised his right hand, and the nine holy swords converged, forming a massive great sword that was ten meters long and three meters wide.

The Ten-Headed Fierce Sun Snake immediately sensed the threat of death. With a strange cry, red poisonous gas sprayed from its mouth, quickly engulfing Qian Renhan. However, Qian Renhan was not afraid of toxins.

While toxins injected directly into his body would cause trouble, those in gas form passing through his soul power shield had no effect on him.

The black sword slashed down, and the sound of flesh tearing filled the air. Snake blood stained the Slaughter Road, splattering everywhere. The body of the Ten-Headed Fierce Sun Snake and the path in front of it, stretching ten meters, were completely destroyed.

Qian Renhan looked at the gap he had created and spoke indifferently, "It seems I've left a nice obstacle behind with this strike. However, since I've slain the Ten-Headed Fierce Sun Snake, let this gap serve as your new trial."

His gaze fell upon the lifeless Ten-Headed Fierce Sun Snake. The snake's body had been cleaved into two halves, leaving only one intact object: something about the size of a ping-pong ball, crimson in color, radiating an intensely scorching aura.

"Is this the Ten-Headed Fierce Sun Snake's core?"

Qian Renhan grasped the core in his hand. The extreme coldness and extreme evil within his soul power came into contact with the core's properties. Instantly, smoke began to rise from his hand, and he quickly stored the core in his storage soul tool.

Looking at the three pieces of meat sizzling on his palm, he remarked, "A bit painful. I wonder if little Xue has been practicing well. Otherwise, when I see her again, she'll definitely know what the Iron Fist of Love feels like."

After dealing with the Ten-Headed Fierce Sun Snake, there were no further obstacles ahead. Qian Renhan reached the end of the Slaughter Road, which opened into a vast lake filled with boiling hot blood, brimming with immense energy fluctuations.

Moreover, the killing intent, violent rage, and evil energy in this place were incredibly dense. If an ordinary person with a weak will came here, the intense heat would burn their clothes, and the overwhelming killing and evil energies would quickly shatter their sanity, turning them into madmen.

No soul master dared to linger here. Even a six-winged angel soul master would likely fall to corruption after staying too long. Of course, this didn't apply to Qian Renhan, whose Fallen Angel Martial Soul was immune to such corruption.

At the end of the Slaughter Road, the vast blood river resembled the Angel's Illusion in the Angel Statue, and for Qian Renhan, it was the perfect training ground. There was no place on the continent, even in the Eight Layers, that was better suited for his cultivation.

"Killing intent, here I come."

Qian Renhan leaped into the air and crossed into the center of the blood pool, sitting cross-legged mid-air. Activating the Dark Domain, he covered the space above the blood pool. The domain's infinite suction power erupted, drawing in the killing intent, rage, and evil energies, all of which were consumed by the Fallen Angel Martial Soul as nourishment, accelerating its growth.

The aura around the Fallen Angel grew increasingly evil, and the red area within the Dark God's domain continued to expand, shifting from a 7:3 ratio, to 13:7, then 35:15, and finally 6:4.

As time passed, the Fallen Angel Martial Soul, nourished by the endless rage and evil energy, tore open its back, and a new pair of black wings grew behind it.

The evolution of its evil attributes reached the quasi-God King level. The three extreme attributes of the eight-winged Fallen Angel were now complete, and the Martial Soul evolved: the Ten-Winged Fallen Angel descended!

With the arrival of the Ten-Winged Fallen Angel, another pair of pitch-black wings sprouted from Qian Renhan's back. A stronger surge of dark power exploded, engulfing half of the Slaughter Road. The terrifying devouring power even caused the city of Slaughter above the Slaughter Road to tremble slightly.
