Douluo Continent: I had just reached my limit when the sky exposed me.

Chapter 87 Slaughter City, Tang Chen Awakens
Above the sky.

The dark red killing intent that had been building up to its peak suddenly contracted.

It then exploded like a volcanic eruption.

They coalesced into two large, scarlet characters filled with endless slaughter and majesty.

Kill!
[Ranking #5 on the Opportunity List: Slaughter City]

[Location: Northwest of the Mainland, Paradise of Sin (Stable passage manifested by the rules of the Celestial Canopy)]

[Opportunity Description: This is the ultimate trial ground set up by the Asura God, the enforcer of the divine realm, to select his successor. Its rules are unique; soul skills cannot be used, only the essence of the martial soul and the instinct for slaughter remain. It is an unparalleled purgatory for forging fighting will and condensing pure killing intent.]

[Core Opportunity: Inheritance of the Asura God's Position (God King Level, Core Orthodox Inheritance)!]

[Essential Inheritance]: The Asura God, who governs the laws of the divine realm, is the master of "righteous killing." The core of their inheritance lies in mastering ultimate killing intent, upholding one's true nature amidst slaughter, and eliminating evil rather than succumbing to desire. The City of Slaughter serves as the initial selection ground.

[Inheritance Assessment]:
1. Basic Trial: Accumulate 100 wins in the Hell Slaughter Arena to qualify for the "Hell Road" challenge.

2. Core Token: Successfully escaping the Hell Road will grant you the [God of Slaughter Domain] – the cornerstone for unlocking the Asura God Trial.

3. Ultimate Divine Trial: Cultivate the God of Slaughter Domain to its ultimate level, evolve it into the [Asura Domain], and complete the Nine Trials of Asura to inherit the authority of the God King and wield the laws of the divine realm!
[With the blessing of the Celestial Curtain Rules: Some rules of the City of Slaughter are temporarily suppressed, allowing entrants to use Soul Skills! The difficulty of Hell Road has been slightly reduced, and the Killing God Domain obtained upon completion will be more refined and pure. Warning: Those with weak wills, even with Soul Skills, are easily lost in the carnage and will fall into eternal damnation!]

[Admission Requirements: Any Soul Master may enter, but must be prepared to face death and damnation!]

The moment the information is displayed.

The entire Douluo Continent was utterly silent!
What followed was a monstrous wave that was a thousand times more violent than any before!

"A god... a god-king? Could he be an existence that surpasses all previous gods?"

"The God of Asura! An enforcer of the divine realm! My god, this background is terrifying!"

"The City of Slaughter... that's actually the starting point of the God King's legacy!"

"We can use soul skills now? That sky barrier rule is too powerful! Doesn't this greatly reduce the difficulty?"

"The Domain of the God of Slaughter! It's actually the key to obtaining the inheritance of the God King!"

"..."

Countless Soul Masters went mad for it, and trembled at it!
God King!

This is an existence far beyond their level of understanding!

Its significance is enough to change the entire landscape of the divine realm!

In an instant, countless Soul Masters who prided themselves on their unwavering will and superior combat prowess had their eyes blazing with fury.

They turned their gaze toward the northwest of the continent.

That is the shortcut to the pinnacle of power, and also the entrance to hell!
The deepest part of the killing city.

On a throne built of white bones and dark red rocks.

A figure clad in dark red armor, with murky, confused eyes and an aura of terrifying bloodlust emanating from him, suddenly trembled!
He was Tang Chen, who was misled by the thoughts of the Rakshasa God after undergoing the test of the Asura God, and transformed into the King of Slaughter!
Just as the information from the Sky Curtain was fully released.

In particular, the golden light "blessed by the rules of the heavens" flowed into his body like a warm current.

It temporarily dispelled the evil thoughts of the Rakshasa that had plagued him for many years.

His eyes, which had been cloudy for decades, suddenly regained their clarity for a moment!
"The Asura God Trial... the City of Slaughter... I... I am Tang Chen!"

He growled softly, his voice filled with endless pain, regret, and a sense of relief.

A flood of memories rushed back.

The glory of the Haotian Sect, and its ambition to traverse the continent.

And... that blue figure buried deep in my heart—Poseidon.

He clearly felt the connection between himself and the Asura God Test the moment the golden light entered.

It was completely severed by a gentle yet irresistible force.

A domineering voice, authoritative, cold, and devoid of any emotion, rang out directly as his consciousness returned to clarity:
[Tang Chen, the examiner of the Asura God, lost his mind during the eighth trial, corrupted by evil thoughts, and failed to uphold his original intention of killing.]

[Assessment - Failed!]

[Disqualification from the Divine Examination is revoked!]

"Failure... Heh, it's failed..."

Tang Chen, or rather, the newly recovered King of Slaughter, raised his head and let out a sigh that was neither a cry nor a laugh.

There wasn't much resentment.

Instead, there was a sense of relief, as if decades of imprisonment had finally come to an end.

He felt the power within him, still immense but no longer controlled by evil thoughts, and the completely severed connection with the divine test.

However, it seems his body can't hold up for much longer!

"Go out...I want to go out...to see the outside world, to see...her..."

He murmured to himself, a light rekindling in his eyes.

It was a yearning for freedom, and also a longing for old friends and past affections.

Now that the rules of the heavens are in effect and the restrictions of the City of Slaughter are loosening, it is the perfect opportunity for him to escape!

The outside world is in shock!
Notting City.

Tang Hao stared intently at the information about the City of Slaughter displayed on the sky.

Especially the words "Killing God Domain" and "Asura God," filled the tiger's eyes with unprecedented shock and complexity.

"The City of Slaughter... that place is actually the starting point of the God King's legacy?"

He stroked the killing domain he had long possessed within him, his heart churning with turmoil. He had never imagined that he had once entered this sinful paradise in pursuit of power and revenge.

Behind it lies such a shocking secret!
"So, I already possessed the... key to the inheritance of the God-King?"

The Spirit Hall, deep within the Rakshasa Secret Realm.

The purplish-black evil aura surrounding Bibi Dong fluctuated violently.

She was also shocked by the information about the "Slaughter City" and the "Asura God".

"The City of Slaughter actually hides the legacy of a God-King?"

A flicker of disbelief crossed her purple eyes.

She inherited the position of Rakshasa God and was well aware of the gap between the God-King and the First-Rank Gods.

The Asura God is an entity that is subtly opposed to the Rakshasa God.

"No wonder that place is so special. It seems that the waters of this continent are deeper than I imagined."

Star Forest, Lake of Life.

When the names of "Slaughter City" and "Asura God" resounded through the sky.

The temperature in the entire Lake of Life region suddenly plummeted to freezing!

“Shura!!!”

A dragon's roar, filled with endless resentment and killing intent, suddenly erupted from the bottom of the lake!

The seven-colored elemental light around the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena surged wildly, distorting space and causing the earth to tremble!

Her stunningly beautiful face was now filled with a chilling killing intent, and her brilliant purple eyes seemed to be burning with flames of destruction!

She will never forget that it was the Asura God King who, together with the other four God Kings, orchestrated the split and fall of the Dragon God!

Her serious injuries.

The current plight of the Soul Beast race.

All of this is inextricably linked to the Asura God King!
"The legacy of the Asura God! He actually dared to leave behind a legacy in this world!"

The bear roared in fury, its dark gold claws tearing through the void.

The Demon King, the Crimson King, and other ferocious beasts were all enraged.

A terrifying, malevolent aura surged into the sky.

Mixed with Gu Yuena's killing intent, the entire Star Dou Great Forest was shrouded in a repressive and violent atmosphere.

Di Tian suppressed his anger and looked at Gu Yuena, whose killing intent was palpable: "My lord! This Asura God's inheritance..."

Gu Yuena took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the almost out-of-control elemental tide, her voice as cold as ancient ice.

"I know that the inheritance of a god-king is no easy task, but that's precisely why we must not let it fall into human hands so easily!"

Her gaze swept towards the direction of Beidou Academy, then across the Spirit Hall.

"Keep a close eye on all powerful humans attempting to enter the City of Slaughter! If necessary... prevent them from obtaining the inheritance!"

The emergence of the Asura God's legacy.

It touched upon the deepest wounds and greatest fears in the hearts of Gu Yuena and all the top soul beasts.

Beidou Academy.

The crimson killing intent emanating from Lü Bu resonated to the extreme with the murderous aura of the sky!
He gazed at the four large characters that read "Slaughter City".

Feel the call to pure battle and slaughter emanating from it.

An unprecedented, almost tangible fighting spirit burst forth from those domineering eyes!
"Hahaha! Good! What a killing city!"

"What a magnificent inheritance of the Asura God!"

He burst into laughter, his voice like thunder.

"Only such a bloody inferno is worthy of the halberd in my hand!"

He turned abruptly, faced Lu Xiao who was sitting leisurely in a chair, clasped his hands in a fist and said in a deep voice, "Dean! I wish to make a trip to the City of Slaughter!"

"Use the killing intent of this place to hone my battle halberd, temper my battle spirit, and break through the bottleneck!"

Lu Xiao looked at the raging flames of war in his eyes, and the aura within his body that subtly resonated with the City of Slaughter.

They knew this was the perfect whetstone for Lü Bu.

He smiled slightly and nodded: "Go, and remember, killing is a means, not an end."

"Stay true to yourself, and you will achieve your goals."

"understand!"

Lu Bu clasped his hands in a deep fist salute and said no more.

He raised his halberd, and his murderous aura subsided.

It transformed into a streak of crimson light and headed unhesitatingly toward the northwest of the continent.

That direction, symbolizing endless slaughter and the opportunity of becoming a god-king, broke through the sky and went away!

The mainland is once again engulfed in turmoil due to the reappearance of the City of Slaughter and the legacy of the Asura God King!

A fierce struggle and endless slaughter over the succession of the God-King.

A bloody prelude is about to unfold in that sinful paradise!
