256: Chapter 256 Crossing the Gate of Light! One Punch Instantly Kills a Nascent Soul Dragon!

Su Yang stepped into the black light gate.

Space rippled wildly like water, and a strong sense of weightlessness instantly enveloped his whole body.

After just a few breaths, his feet landed steadily on the solid, rough ground.

The view before him suddenly opened up.

What met his eyes was not some dark and narrow underground stone cave, but a blood-colored world that stretched as far as the eye could see.

High above the dome hung a strange, crimson full moon, illuminating the entire world in a bloody red.

The air was filled with a thick, pungent smell of blood, and one could even see wisps of blood-colored mist drifting everywhere in mid-air. Beneath his feet were strange, dark red rocks covered in traces of weathering over time.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Three scents followed closely behind. Three stunning beauties—Chu Ling, Su Qingcheng, and Jiang Yingxue—passed through the light gate one after another and landed steadily beside Su Yang.

Su Qingcheng was dressed in red like fire; having just been promoted to Ghost King, the Yin baleful Qi radiating from her was becoming increasingly pure and profound.

She swayed her slender waist and naturally leaned against Su Yang's right side.

Her proud peaks pressed against Su Yang's arm, intentionally or not, and her two snowy-white, long legs revealed by the slit in her skirt shimmered with a breathtaking, alluring luster under the blood-colored moonlight.

"Master, this place is a mix of Yin Qi and blood baleful Qi; it's quite a good place for killing and looting, or nourishing a ghost body."

Su Qingcheng's rosy lips curled up slightly, a bloodthirsty excitement appearing on her exquisite face.

Jiang Yingxue wore a classic red bridal gown, looking elegant and refined.

She looked around, a hint of vigilance flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Chu Ling was the most clingy. Wearing an ice-blue off-the-shoulder long dress, she wrapped her fair, slender arms directly around Su Yang's neck.

"Boss, this place feels a bit eerie. There won't be any more ugly monsters hiding here, will there? If there are, Chu Ling will definitely freeze them into ice shards."

"No matter what is hiding. As long as it dares to block the way, just crush it to death."

Su Yang strode forward. The three women followed closely by his side, like stars surrounding the moon.

They traveled forward for about several thousand meters.

The terrain ahead suddenly dipped, revealing a giant basin the size of several football fields.

In the center of the basin was actually a churning, boiling blood-colored lake!

The lake water was incredibly viscous, with crimson bubbles constantly rising to the surface.

"Gurgle..."

Every time a bubble burst, it released a strong corrosive toxic gas.

If an ordinary cultivator approached, just one breath of the toxic gas would instantly turn their internal organs into a pool of pus.

What caught Su Yang's eye was not this blood lake, but a massive object floating in the very center of it.

Looking closely, an altar built from piles of forest-white bones stood prominently in the heart of the lake.

At the top of the altar, a giant blood-red long blade with a wild design floated silently!

The surface of the long blade was covered in dense dark-black runes, and fresh red blood was even dripping from the edge of the blade.

A soaring slaughtering intent was continuously radiating from the blade's body.

The Killing Intent was so strong that it even condensed into a physical blood-colored tornado in mid-air, directly connecting to the crimson full moon in the sky.

"What a domineering, ominous weapon!"

Jiang Yingxue's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but let out an exclamation of wonder.

In his mind, the System notification sound suddenly rang out.

"Ding! Detected an ancient peerless ominous weapon—[asura blood blade]!"

"System prompt: This blade is a relic left by a powerhouse of the ancient Asura Clan. It has drunk the blood of billions of living beings and contains a terrifying slaughtering Origin. It is recommended that the host collect it!"

A glint flashed in Su Yang's eyes. The grade of this asura blood blade definitely surpassed all Magic Treasures in the secular world, and was even a hundred times more powerful than any item he had seen in the treasury before. If used as a weapon, it would be quite majestic.

"Master, let Qingcheng get it for you!"

Su Qingcheng was eager to prove herself.

She gave a light shout and tapped her toes lightly on the dark red rock. Her whole body turned into a streak of red lightning, and with her skirt fluttering, she flew straight toward the altar in the heart of the lake.

However, just as she flew over the blood lake.

A sudden change occurred!

The originally boiling blood-colored lake water suddenly surged with towering waves.

Boom!

Accompanied by a deafening, violent roar, a terrifying flood dragon over a hundred zhang long, covered in thick blood-colored scales, burst out of the water from the bottom of the lake!

This Blood River Flood Dragon's eyes were like two giant red lanterns, and a sharp single horn grew on its head.

It opened its bloody maw full of fangs and directly spat out a blood-colored light pillar as thick as a bucket.

The light pillar carried a terrifying power capable of corroding all things, tearing through the Void Realm and blasting straight toward Su Qingcheng in mid-air.

The powerful pressure radiating from the flood dragon had actually reached the Early Stage of the Soul Transformation Stage Realm!

Su Qingcheng was pale with fright.

Although she had been promoted to Ghost King, she still felt somewhat powerless in the face of a full-strength strike from a Soul Transformation Stage Yao Beast.

She hurriedly forced her slender waist to twist in mid-air, brandishing the long sword in her hand and slashing out a red Sword Qi dozens of zhang long, attempting to block the blood-colored light pillar head-on.

"Bang!"

The Sword Qi collided with the light pillar, lasting only half a breath before it shattered with a bang.

The residual power of the blood-colored light pillar did not diminish, continuing to surge toward her to swallow her up.

"Step back."

At the critical moment, Su Yang's cold voice exploded between heaven and earth.

In the next second, Su Yang's figure appeared out of thin air in front of Su Qingcheng.

He still maintained his posture with one hand in his pocket, only slowly raising his right arm and clenching his fingers into a fist.

"A mere loach dares to act wildly before this young master."

Boom!

Dazzling golden Pure Yang True Fire instantly enveloped Su Yang's right fist completely.

The high temperature instantly evaporated the surrounding blood-colored toxic gas.

He did not retreat at all, meeting the gushing blood-colored light pillar and throwing out a punch fiercely!

The Pure Yang iron fist, with an invincible momentum that crushed everything in its path, directly split the blood-colored light pillar in half from the middle.

The golden light was like a sky-breaking divine sword, instantly crossing a distance of several hundred meters and smashing heavily into the massive head of the Blood River Flood Dragon!

Crack!

The indestructible blood-colored scales, under the dual strike of the burning Pure Yang True Fire and the terrifying fist force, shattered inch by inch like fragile crackers.

"Roar—!"

The Blood River Flood Dragon let out a shrill, desperate scream.

Its massive body, as if hit head-on by a meteor, flew backward and smashed heavily back into the blood lake, kicking up towering blood-colored waves.

The entire lake surface was instantly dyed dark black; the flood dragon's head had completely caved in and shattered, as dead as could be.

One punch insta-killed a Soul Transformation Stage Yao Beast!

Su Qingcheng patted her full chest, looking at Su Yang's tall and sturdy back with lingering fear.

A flush appeared on her exquisite face, and the look of admiration in her beautiful eyes was almost overflowing.

Her master's domineering and matchless posture made her love him to her very core.

"Thank you, Master, for saving my life. From now on, Qingcheng will definitely serve Master with all her heart and soul."

Su Qingcheng's voice was soft and sweet, and her delicate body leaned against Su Yang's back.

Su Yang didn't look back; he simply withdrew his fist, walked through the air, and landed steadily on the altar in the heart of the lake.

He reached out his right hand and grabbed the hilt of the asura blood blade.

The violent and matchless slaughtering intent tried to backlash against Su Yang's consciousness through his arm, but the Pure Yang True Fire vibrated slightly, completely suppressing this backlash force.

"Good blade. It's got enough weight." Su Yang casually twirled the blade and nodded with satisfaction.

Just as he had grasped the hilt.

From the deep bottom of the lake beneath the altar, an ear-piercing sound of clashing chains suddenly came.

Clatter!

Immediately afterward, the water of the entire blood lake began to spin wildly, forming a giant blood-colored vortex that reached all the way to the bottom.

In the deepest part of the vortex, a bronze cage covered in ancient runes faintly emerged.

Inside the bronze cage, a mysterious living being radiating a terrifying aura seemed to be imprisoned!
