The Eternal battle

Chapter 101: Blood Debt (1)

Ling Qingzhu led Shi Tu across the maze-like road for some time until they reached a crimson gate, the gate seem very thick and heavy and surrounded by a very dense slaughtering aura that if anyone was exposed to it might be enough to frighten him to death.

But Ling Qingzhu was not affected at all. Which aroused Shi Tu's interest, in order to resist such a slaughtering aura, either it has a same level slaughtering aura that can only be obtained by slaughtering huge numbers of cultivators, or obtaining a pure aura of the same level. Otherwise, the slaughtering aura will affect the mind of whoever is exposed to and lead it to madness. 

Ling Qingzhu extended her tender jadelike hands and pushed the gate very easily, then she steped aside and look at Shi Tu anxiously and said

" Big Brother, if you follow this path you will be able to meet the bad uncle, but beware, the bad uncle is very evil, he always refuses to play with Ling'er he even forcefully expels Ling'er sometimes and deceives Ling'er often so Big Brother should be careful to Don't fall for bad uncle cheats "

Ling Qingzhu seemed upset to the language at bad uncle and didn't seem intending to follow Shi Tu because of the dense slaughtering aura or she simply didn't like the bad uncle who wouldn't play with her.

Shi Tu didn't say anything and through the gate, what is in front of him is wide stone blood colored stairs and black walls that seemed to absorb light in place, the only source of light is the radiant crystals hanging on the ceiling.

The stairs seemed to swallow Shi Tu if he dared try to climb just like the Hell Gate.

On the side is a banner with the symbols of an ancient language, few people know this language - the history of blood.

Shi Tu did not hesitate to climb the stairs and nothing strange happened, Shi Tu was not exposed because some kind of pressure or illusions nor anything holding Shi Tu, there is no kind of traps or enemies, it seem so easy compared to the scary feeling at the entrance.

But at the hundredth step, Shi Tu saw a red statue of a macho warrior, barely wearing any clothes and had long ears and long sharp teeth, most likely from barbarians race, but because the statue is red, there is no way to confirm this because the skin color of the barbarians is what distinguishes them from other similar races. 

The barbarian warrior holding in his hands the Blades of Chaos!

After checking, Shi Tu knew that this statue was made of pure blood, Shi Tu could sense that this blood is a mixture of the blood of many races and was concentrated to the extreme, it is strange that Shi Tu didn't feel any strength to maintain this statue made of liquid blood because Shi Tu fingers can penetrate the statue.

Shi Tu also recognized the owner of the statue, although he died long before the birth of Shi Tu, but he possessed many legends that talk about him as he was born in the golden age of the barbarians when they were at their peak and he was the one who led them in many wars.

Barbarian ruler - Zhu Kun

Shi Tu crossed the statue and didn't care about it anymore, at the step three hundred Shi Tu found another blood statue of a different person from another race carrying Blades of Chaos, Shi Tu kept advancing and found many blood statues of people carrying Blades of Chaos and there was no specific order of steps number that separate each statue from the other.

Sometimes the statues were separated by hundreds of steps and sometimes thousands of steps, while some were separated by only a few steps.

Finally, after more than thirty thousand steps, Shi Tu found the statue of Zhan Xieshen carrying the Blades of Chaos, and it seems that everyone who carried the Blades of Chaos is here and not necessarily that they were masters of the Blades of Chaos.

But what baffled Shi Tu in the case of Zhan Xieshen was his gray skin, if Shi Tu is not wrong then a proportion of Zhan Xieshen body should have become a primordial Chaos which at least indicates that he had passed the first trial, but according to the ancient voice Zhan Xieshen was not even allowed to challenge the first trial. Because he could not bear the pain of exhausting his energy and soul.

Shi Tu didn't stop long in front of Zhan Xieshen statue because he had already reached the top of the stairs because Zhan Xieshen statue had been placed on the last step.

In front of Shi Tu, he saw the same crimson gate that he saw at the entrance, it is a similar gate only at first glance, but Shi Tu felt an aura identical to the previous gate and was sure this is the same gate.

Although Ling Qingzhu made opening this gate seem easy, Shi Tu is well aware that with his current ability, opening this gate using power is absolutely impossible so if he wants to cross he has to follow the rules.

In front of Shi Tu suddenly appeared a glass mirror, and although it reflects the image of the stairs and everything behind Shi Tu, it doesn't show Shi Tu's reflection as if he is not qualified to show his reflection on it, on the golden edges of the mirror some words are engraved in a glowing red color in the same language in which it is written The words at the start of the stairs.

" Who bears sins and spreads chaos, ruthless butcher or absolute power"

Shi Tu realized the meaning of these words immediately and hesitated a little to go ahead, but not long because that is something he had to contend with anyway.

Previously, Duan Hao sought world peace but was well aware that sacrifice is necessary to achieve any great goal, yet he didn't kill much compared to anyone of his strength and who climbed on mountain of bones to reach this level, Duan Hao doesn't mind sacrificing his followers, but he will only do it if extreme necessary where there is no other option, even when he is forced to destroy a clan or sect, when there is no way for negotiation and hate solution, he leaves some of their offspring in order to give them a chance for revenge in the future. 

Shi Tu prefer to die in the hand of people who killed their clans and destroyed their sects, most of whom do not even know why they died instead of dying in a conflict of interests.

But from his second life, he caused rivers of blood and spread chaos in the world, while being keen on total annihilation and having no opportunity for revenge.

Now, he has to face these blood debts because the words on the mirror are clear, only a butcher or an absolute power can enter, Shi Tu is weak now and cannot use power to enter so he has to enter as a butcher and to prove that, must track his karma to see how much blood debt he is carrying.

Shi Tu is absolutely sure that he will not be far from Zhan Xieshen at best because he has caused a war that is no less than that caused by Zhan Xieshen, and unless his bad deeds are wiped out or Karma disappeared for some reason, he will inevitably surpass Zhan Xieshen.
