Douluo Secrets, King of Slaughter

[Douluo Secrets Seven, King of Slaughter!]

As the image appeared, a voice resonated in everyone's ears.

Unlike the previous expository style, this one felt more like a monologue.

[My name is King of Slaughter; this is the name the world has bestowed upon me.]

[The City of Slaughter is known as the land of sin. It is filled with endless slaughter, tyranny, and bloodshed; it is the cage for all the Evil Soul Masters on the continent.]

[I have ruled this place for a hundred years. In my consciousness, apart from slaughter, there is no longer any emotion.]

[But who could have imagined that before becoming the King of Slaughter, I was also a Soul Master who yearned for the light?]

A simple monologue revealed the helplessness of the King of Slaughter.

Soul Masters across the world were shocked.

"The King of Slaughter was actually a Soul Master who yearned for the light in the past?"

"Wait, shouldn't he not be human? He hasn't even released a Martial Soul before."

"To be able to become the King of Slaughter, he must have been a genius back then, right? Perhaps we have even heard of his name?"

"Didn't you hear that he has presided over the City of Slaughter for a hundred years? How old are you this year? You couldn't have heard a damn thing; even those Titled Douluo Your Excellencies might not have heard of him."

"..."

People speculated and doubted.

Star Dou Great Forest.

Tang Hao landed in front of the Azure Ox-Horse and the Titan Giant Ape with Tang San and the small creature.

"Humans?!"

The Titan Giant Ape roared in a rage.

Tang Hao's soul power surged out: "I have no ill intentions. This is your companion; I am taking Tang San away now."

After speaking, he ignored them and turned to leave.

"Brother San!"

"Xiao Wu!"

After flying a certain distance away, Tang San finally regained his senses.

"Father, where are we going?"

"The City of Slaughter."

Hm?

Tang San was slightly stunned, looking up at the sky screen. "Is it the place mentioned by the sky screen?"

"Correct!"

Tang Hao nodded. "Training there is more effective than anywhere else. Although you are only a Soul Elder now, it is enough."

[Once, I was also a figure who shook the world, suppressing my entire generation.]

[Back then, I was arrogant and proud, believing myself invincible under the heavens, having never lost a fight.]

[But I was wrong. There were countless prodigies in my generation. I was evenly matched with two of them, and neither of us could best the other in our respective fields.]

[Later, I felt my strength hit a bottleneck and began searching for an opportunity to become a Deity.]

[I traveled across mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, roaming the continent.]

[Until one day, I accidentally discovered that the City of Slaughter held the inheritance of the Asura God, and I headed there without a second thought.]

[The facts were just as I had expected; I accidentally triggered the God Examination. I originally thought I would inherit the God position without any surprises, as with my aptitude, no one on the continent could stand shoulder to shoulder with me.]

[Just as I was starting the God Examination, an accident occurred.]

[The Rakshasa God, who was the rival of the Asura God, had left a contingency in the City of Slaughter to interfere with those taking the God Examination. I was influenced by it, and my mind was besieged.]

[At this moment, the original King of Slaughter of the City of Slaughter, a hundred-thousand-year Bat King, took the opportunity to control me, and because of this, I became the new King of Slaughter.]

[Looking back on my life, the words "peerless prodigy" could summarize it, yet in the end, I ended up in such a state—how laughable!]

[How many people in the world know my name, and how many still remember me?]

[My name is Tang Chen, the once-in-a-millennium genius of the Clear Sky Sect!]

Hum--!

The moment the final name of the King of Slaughter appeared.

The world shook.

Countless people felt their heads buzz.

They stood frozen in place.

City of Slaughter.

When the heavenly screen descended, bestowing its grace upon all living things, all the negative effects on Tang Chen were purged, and he had already regained control of his own body.

Gazing at the heavenly screen, his face was as calm as stagnant water.

"It was exposed after all."

Tang Chen stood with his hands behind his back. "It seems there will be no peace for some time to come."

"Qian Daoliu, Bo Saixi... I wonder what state you are in now?"

In a certain forest.

Tang Hao's body stiffened, and he looked up in disbelief.

"Father?"

Tang San asked, puzzled.

The heavenly screen said the King of Slaughter was from the Clear Sky Sect; could it be related to his father?

After all, their martial soul was the Clear Sky Hammer.

"Xiao San, that is your great-grandfather!"

Tang Hao's voice was filled with irrepressible excitement as he laughed:

"Hahaha!"

"He is still alive!"

"Your great-grandfather is a Level 99 Titled Douluo!"

What?!

Tang San was stunned.

His great-grandfather was actually this powerful?!

"Quick!"

Tang Hao grabbed Tang San, soared into the air, and flew toward the City of Slaughter at top speed.

Martial Soul Hall.

Inside the Worship Hall.

The moment Qian Daoliu saw the name Tang Chen appear, the hair on his body stood on end.

It was not out of fear.

Rather, it was an indescribable sense of heart palpitations. For many years, he had suspected that Tang Chen was already dead.

After all, when the Clear Sky Sect was in trouble back then, Tang Chen had never appeared.

He never expected that he had actually been trapped in the City of Slaughter.

"Tang Chen, I never thought you were still alive!"

Qian Daoliu secretly clenched his fists.

"Big Brother, should we march toward the City of Slaughter?"

The other titled elders asked.

Qian Daoliu shook his head: "No need to bother. Keep a close watch on the sky screen and see if any opportunities or secrets are exposed. We must compete for them the moment they appear."

He was very clear about the situation.

When the sky screen descended, his own lifespan had increased; therefore, it was highly likely that Tang Chen had also used the power of the sky screen to break free.

If they went there, a great battle would inevitably break out.

It would not be worth the cost.

Sea God Island.

Inside the Sea God Hall.

Bo Saixi gazed at the image on the sky screen, her body trembling slightly.

"Tang Chen..."

Bo Saixi's expression shifted slightly as she said, "You never appeared all these years; so you were trapped in the City of Slaughter. It is a pity that I cannot leave Sea God Island..."

Tang Chen, Bo Saixi, and Qian Daoliu were the strongest individuals of the sea, land, and air.

Both men had once pursued Bo Saixi.

To avoid putting them in a difficult position, Bo Saixi had come up with a method: whoever could become a god would be the one she accepted.

She just never expected that Tang Chen would leave and never return.

She had originally assumed that he was either dead or had already found his own path to godhood.

To think, he was actually trapped in the City of Slaughter.

Bo Saixi fell silent.

She longed to see Tang Chen, but that was only possible if she could leave Sea God Island.

Clear Sky Sect.

Upon seeing what was displayed on the celestial screen, everyone wore expressions of shock and joy.

The entire Clear Sky Sect erupted in cheers.

"It's Great Uncle!"

The elders looked excited, turning their gazes toward Tang Xiao one after another.

"Sect Master, we must emerge from seclusion immediately and head to the City of Slaughter to welcome back the elder!"

If Tang Chen had not been absent back then, how could the Clear Sky Sect have fallen to such a state?

Now that Tang Chen's location had been exposed, their Clear Sky Sect had to go and bring him back.

Tang Xiao was equally overcome with excitement.

Little Hao, with Grandfather returning, he will surely be able to seek justice for you!

Having said that, he waved his hand grandly.

"All members of the Clear Sky Sect, hear my order: announce our emergence from the mountains immediately and welcome back our ancestor!"

As his voice fell, the entire Clear Sky Sect was invigorated.

It was not just them.

When the various major powers of the world learned that the King of Slaughter was none other than Tang Chen, their expressions changed drastically.

People knew that a new era of turmoil was coming to the Douluo Continent!

Many weaker factions had already begun to choose their sides.

Rumble--!

At the same time, the celestial screen changed quietly, revealing a new secret.
