"Let's go in. Although only those with the Killing God Domain can use their soul skills in the City of Slaughter, we possess divine artifacts, and our soul power has reached the peak of Level 99 as Limit Douluo. We have nothing to fear from any evil soul masters."
Dugu Yan spoke as she pulled Qian Renxue directly into Slaughter City.
...
Inside the City of Slaughter, Palace of the King of Slaughter
"Hahahaha, Xiao San, you're absolutely right! Who cares if it's a forbidden technique of fallen soul masters? If you're strong enough, you can change all the rules.
Is this the realm of a Limit Douluo? Grandpa was at this level too—was this the kind of scenery he saw? Now I have the strength to defeat Qian Daoliu.
My grandfather defeated that scoundrel Qian Daoliu, and my brother Hao crushed Qian Xunji. Now that I'm also a Limit Douluo, I should make something of myself."
The speaker was none other than Tang Xiao, the Roaring Sky Douluo. After Tang San had absorbed the remains of Tang Chen and left the City of Slaughter to hunt for soul rings in the Starry Sky Great Forest, he had invited Tang Xiao along.
At first, Tang Xiao had been repulsed by Tang San's use of the Eight Spider Lances to devour others for advancement. However, after Tang San revealed that he was already a Title Douluo, just lacking soul rings, Tang Xiao immediately changed his attitude.
Once someone becomes a Title Douluo, everything falls into place—it's smooth sailing from there!
Tang Xiao helped Tang San massacre high-level soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest. Unfortunately, they didn't encounter any hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts—it was as though they had gone extinct.
Tang San's second martial soul, the Hao Tian Hammer, was equipped with soul rings that were all over fifty thousand years old. Among them, three were over ninety thousand years old—near-perfect, top-tier strength-type soul rings close to the hundred-thousand-year mark.
But Tang San insisted on obtaining hundred-thousand-year soul rings for his Hao Tian Hammer. Thus, Tang San and Tang Xiao traveled overseas to search for hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts in the deep sea.
Their efforts paid off. In the end, Tang San obtained two hundred-thousand-year soul rings and completed his set of soul bones.
Tang San's Hao Tian Hammer was configured with seven black rings and two red ones, while his Blue Silver Grass had a configuration of two yellow, two purple, and five black rings.
After completing his soul rings and soul bones, Tang San's soul power naturally reached the peak of Level 97.
Later, Tang San brought Tang Xiao back to the City of Slaughter to prepare for plans to overthrow the Spirit Hall.
And just a few months earlier, Tang San had unexpectedly received divine favor. A godly entity bestowed upon him a cultivation method, stating that by devouring fallen soul masters within the City of Slaughter, he could rapidly advance, inherit a divine position, and break through to become a god beyond Level 100!
When Tang San shared this good news with Tang Xiao, the latter immediately affirmed that breaking through to godhood was inevitable. Once they reached that level, what was the Spirit Hall? What were the two empires and seven great sects? They would all be trampled beneath their feet!
From then on, Tang San and Tang Xiao, uncle and nephew, wreaked havoc in Slaughter City. Their soul power levels both reached the pinnacle of Limit Douluo, making them the de facto rulers of the City of Slaughter.
Due to their relentless massacres, the population of the City of Slaughter drastically decreased, leaving the entire city eerily desolate.
Because of the Eight Spider Lances, Tang San quickly reached the level of Limit Douluo and had already progressed far within that realm. Tang Xiao, on the other hand, had only recently broken through.
However, both possessed the Hao Tian Hammer martial soul. Aside from not mastering the Great Sumeru Hammer technique, they were proficient in all other hammer techniques. The title of "Number One Weapon Martial Soul Under Heaven" was no empty boast.
Their strength was truly "terrifying!"
...
"I heard Mom say that the City of Slaughter is supposed to be a paradise for the fallen, but why is it so desolate here?"
Qian Renxue looked around at the deserted inner city, feeling that it was quite different from what Bibi Dong had described.
"Yeah, Li Luochen said that killings were everywhere in the City of Slaughter, and bizarre scenes were commonplace. But as we've walked here, aside from seeing more skeletons, there's nothing else."
Dugu Yan was also suspicious. Had they entered the wrong City of Slaughter? Could there be another entrance, or were these illusions or separate spaces?
"Yanzi, did you sense it? There are two extremely powerful presences inside—one is a quasi-divine being, and the other is a half-god." Qian Renxue had detected the distant auras.
"I sensed them too. That quasi-divine being likely just broke through to Level 99 and hasn't fully adapted to the strength of a Limit Douluo yet. He's only slightly stronger than a Level 98. I suspect he hasn't even mastered spatial attributes.
As for the other aura, it's quite chaotic. Though it reaches the level of a half-god, why is it so disorderly? Could this be one of the legendary fallen soul masters?"
Both Dugu Yan and Qian Renxue's spiritual powers had surpassed the peak of the Spirit Domain Realm and reached the level of Divine Origin, thanks to their journey toward godhood and the divine essence within them.
Under the transformation brought about by divinity, their spiritual powers evolved into divine awareness. If categorized, their spiritual power would be equivalent to the Third Divine Origin Realm, akin to the divine awareness of a third-tier deity.
They owed much gratitude to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's gift. The whale king had converted 99% of his physical body into energy, making cultivation near his corpse highly beneficial.
Moreover, the Sea God had shared the energy of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's soul ring with the two women, leading to their immense transformation—not only reaching the pinnacle of Limit Douluo in soul power but also evolving their spiritual power.
In essence, the soul ring of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King allowed the two women to skip the process of quantitative change and leap directly into qualitative transformation.
(Li Luochen: Honestly, I'm not jealous. I'm really not jealous! Damn!)
"We should deal with this quickly. That half-god-level Limit Douluo likely sensed our divine awareness. His spiritual power isn't weak." Dugu Yan sensed that the other party had already discovered them.
Temple of the Asura God
Tang San keenly detected two mysterious auras. These auras were incredibly powerful, and in his view, they must belong to external experts who had come to the City of Slaughter to train.
"Uncle, people are here, and they're not weak. They might be Super Douluo. If we devour them, we'll surely ascend to another level!" Tang San smirked wickedly, stood up, and prepared to "consume" the two "Super Douluo."
"Hehe, Xiao San, it seems we've got some fresh provisions. The City of Slaughter hasn't had any good meals for a long time. These outsiders are truly a delicacy."
Tang San and Tang Xiao swiftly headed toward the location of the two women.
...
"They're here. This is interesting. It seems things won't be so boring after all. Yanzi, don't interfere—let me handle them. Eradicating evil soul masters is the glory of the Angel Clan!"
Qian Renxue's fighting spirit surged. Ever since evil soul masters had seemingly vanished from the continent, the Angel Family had lacked something essential.
For the sacred Angel Clan, being unable to eradicate evil was a painful frustration. It felt as though their ancestors had bestowed this honor upon them but denied them the chance to prove themselves.
"Jijiji, two beauties! Xiao San, we're in luck!" Tang Xiao gazed at the two women before him, his vile desires growing. But Tang San kept his eyes fixed on Dugu Yan.
"You're Dugu Yan! Jijiji, Li Luochen's woman, right? I'll make sure you suffer the torment of hell!" Tang San's eyes turned blood-red as he glared at Dugu Yan, his voice dripping with malice.
Now that he, Tang San, had achieved the level of Limit Douluo, it was time for vengeance. He would start with Li Luochen's woman.
"Tsk, Tang San, the other one must be Tang Xiao. I didn't expect them to be hiding here. Ah Xue, let's finish this quickly—they're disgusting." Dugu Yan looked at the two before her, feeling an indescribable revulsion.
