Xiaogang's Miserable Death, a New Addition to the Yu Family (4K)

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

For the masses of the Douluo Continent, these ten years were a decade of continued prosperity under the Federation's rule, and a decade of rapid advancements in Martial Way and Soul Tool Technology. But for some individuals who walked in the shadows or were manipulated by the hand of fate, it was a decade in which their life trajectories were completely overturned.

For the first two years, Yu Xiaogang was like a drowning man who had found a lifeline, frantically throwing himself into the bizarre Divine Skill of "Malicious Feedback" bestowed by the Asura God King.

Like a hyena that cannot see the light of day, he roamed the dark corners of Spirit City and even the surrounding major cities, greedily absorbing the insignificant negative emotions such as jealousy, resentment, and anxiety that arose in the hearts of ordinary people, down-on-their-luck Soul Master, and even local ruffians.

These scattered evil thoughts, like trickling streams, flowed into his parched meridians, where they were refined into pure yet icy Soul Power. His Cultivation Level soared at an abnormal speed. In just two years, he broke through bottlenecks one after another, climbing from the initial Soul Elder all the way to the Soul Ancestor realm!

Along with the surge in his Soul Power, his Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao, also underwent a terrifying transformation. Its original clumsy and adorable form had long since disappeared, replaced by a ferocious beast shadow shrouded in dark red baleful energy, with a lean and powerful physique, exposed fangs, and fierce and savage eyes.

What was particularly striking was that two short, yet incredibly sharp, dark red bony protrusions had sprouted from the top of its head, resembling unformed dragon horns, exuding a chilling and ferocious aura. At this moment, Luo Sanpao was less like a mutated pig and more like a Ferocious Beast crawling out of hell!

As for the Soul Ring, Asura Divine Sense did not completely abandon them. He casually taught Yu Xiaogang several insidious and bizarre tricks of sneak attacks, poisoning, and using environmental traps, and bestowed upon him a solidified Soul Skill called "Asura Slash".

This "Asura Slash" requires no Soul Ring, consumes a huge amount of Soul Power, and can unleash a sharp and unparalleled blood-red blade of light, powerful enough to instantly kill an ordinary Soul King. With these methods, Yu Xiaogang was able to sneak into the edge of the Soul Beast Forest alone, hunt suitable Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and obtain his third and fourth Soul Ring.

However, his unrestrained absorption of evil thoughts and his Cultivation Level eventually attracted the attention of some powerful figures in Spirit City.

Especially among the Federation Law Enforcement Department, there are many with keen senses. A faint yet sinister and corrupting fluctuation of Soul Power appeared intermittently within the city, arousing their vigilance.

One day, as Yu Xiaogang was deep in a slum, absorbing the intense resentment of several thugs who were fighting over the spoils, he suddenly sensed through his unique perception of "Malicious Feedback" that several powerful auras, carrying cold killing intent and disgust, were rapidly converging on him from different directions! The strongest of them was actually at the Soul Emperor level!

"Oh no! We've been discovered!" Yu Xiaogang was so frightened that he forgot all about cultivation and fled in panic. Like a startled bird, he relied on his familiarity with the city's back alleys to escape for his life.

However, the Federation law enforcement officers were well-trained and worked in perfect coordination, quickly catching him red-handed in an abandoned workshop. The leader was a stern-faced Soul Emperor captain, followed by three Soul King team members.

When the lights illuminated Yu Xiaogang's face, several Enforcement Squad frowned. The man before them had mostly gray hair, a withered face, deep wrinkles, and a murky gaze filled with an unyielding resentment. He exuded an aura of decay and a chilling Soul Power.

This clearly villainous appearance, coupled with that extremely unsettling evil aura, almost confirms his depraved behavior of "practicing evil arts and overdrawing his Life"!

"Fallen One! Surrender!" the Soul Emperor captain shouted sharply, his eyes filled with murderous intent. The Federation has always been severe in its crackdown on Evil Soul Master and Fallen Soul Master, especially those who dared to infiltrate Spirit City for so long; they are to be killed without exception!

"Trying to capture me? Dream on!" Yu Xiaogang roared, a mad glint in his eyes, and unleashed a "Asura Slash"! The blood-red blade tore through the air, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, and slashed straight at one of the Soul King!

The Soul King's expression changed as he sensed the terrifying destructive power contained in the blade's light. He hurriedly dodged, but was still struck by the edge. His protective Soul Power shattered instantly, and a deep, bone-revealing gash appeared on his chest. He screamed and flew backward!

"Be careful! This fiend is strange!" The Soul Emperor captain was both shocked and furious, not expecting the opponent to possess such a powerful attack Soul Skill. He hurriedly went to the rescue, while simultaneously commanding the other two Soul King: "Form a formation! Fight steadily and wear him down! Don't engage in a direct confrontation!"

Having suffered a setback, the Enforcement Squad immediately changed their strategy. The three formed a battle formation, using their Soul Skill to harass and fight from a distance, no longer giving Yu Xiaogang a chance to confront them head-on. The Soul Emperor captain provided support from the outside, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang's disadvantage was exposed. Although the "Asura Slash" was powerful, it consumed an astonishing amount of Soul Power. With his Soul Ancestor Cultivation Level, he could only use it three or four times at full power before reaching his limit, and he would need a short time to recover.

His close-combat ability, agility, and defense were all at the bottom among those of his rank, relying entirely on a fierce aura and cunning tactics. Under the steady and methodical attrition tactics of the Enforcement Squad, he quickly became overwhelmed, sustaining several wounds and growing increasingly weak.

"It's over..." Despair welled up in Yu Xiaogang's heart. He felt his Life Force rapidly draining away. If this continued, he would either be killed or die from exhaustion!

Just as he was about to be struck in the back by a Soul King's powerful punch, his life hanging by a thread—

Buzz!

An invisible and intangible, yet vast and terrifying will descended silently! The Soul Emperor captain and the three Soul King, who were preparing to deliver a fatal blow, froze in unison, their eyes instantly becoming blank and empty, as if their souls had been ripped out. They remained frozen in their attacking postures, like four statues.

Still shaken, Yu Xiaogang looked around blankly. The next moment, he felt the space around him distort, and his vision blurred as he found himself in a completely unfamiliar, dark world filled with blood and slaughter— the City of Slaughter!

"Useless!" A cold, indifferent voice resounded deep within his soul; it was the Asura Divine Sense. "You can't even handle a few ants, and I have to personally clean up your mess!"

Yu Xiaogang trembled with fear and immediately knelt down, kowtowing. "Thank you, Your His Majesty the God King, for saving my life! I am incompetent! I deserve to die!"

"Hmph! If you weren't still useful, why would I care whether you live or die!" The Asura Divine Sense's tone was full of disgust. "Remember, you are now ' Fallen Soul Master Yu Xiaogang,' captured by the Enforcement Squad, and thrown into the City of Slaughter according to the law."

This is your new identity, and also your final testing ground! If you can survive here and break through to the Soul Sage realm, I might give you another chance. If you die here, it is your fate!

As soon as he finished speaking, the Asura Divine Sense vanished. The four law enforcement officers who had been controlled regained their senses. They looked blankly at the empty, abandoned workshop, their memories consisting only of the false fragment that "the Fallen Soul Master had been captured and thrown into the City of Slaughter." They then left in confusion.

Yu Xiaogang slumped onto the cold ground of the City of Slaughter, still shaken. But soon, the fear of death was replaced by the relief of surviving.

Upon entering the City of Slaughter, Yu Xiaogang was stunned by the scene before him. The sky was eternally blood red, the air thick with an overwhelming stench of blood and madness, and the streets were filled with carnage and looting. Every person's eyes gleamed with the ferocity of a wild beast. He trembled with fear.

But soon, the "Malicious Feedback" technique within his body automatically activated, and he sensed the vast, pure, and murderous aura of evil thoughts surrounding him! The evil thoughts here were purer and more violent than the mixed negative emotions outside! For him, it was simply a paradise for cultivation!

What surprised him even more was that although the City of Slaughter prohibited the use of Soul Skill, his "Asura Slash," which originated from the Asura Divine Power, was not restricted! This meant that he was not a lamb to the slaughter here!

Fear was quickly replaced by greed. Yu Xiaogang began to establish himself in the City of Slaughter. Relying on the power of "Asura Slash," he cautiously hunted the weak and stole Bloody Mary, barely surviving in the cruel environment.

Gradually, he grew accustomed to the rules here, and the dark desires that had been suppressed within him were completely unleashed. He began to enjoy the thrill of killing, indulging in nourishing his own power with the pain and fear of others. He became more cruel and cunning than many of the Fallen One.

Unbeknownst to him, his relatively "peaceful" cultivation here was entirely due to the Asura God King's secret instruction to the current King of Slaughter (a level 96 Super Douluo who had crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood), to give him some "care" and prevent him from being killed prematurely by a true powerhouse. The Asura God King needed him, this "cultivation dish," to grow smoothly until the "fruit ripened."

Over eight years, nourished by the endless malice and bloodshed of the City of Slaughter, Yu Xiaogang's Cultivation Level soared at an abnormal speed, eventually breaking through to the Soul Sage realm.

The price was that his Life Origin was almost completely burned out. Although he was not yet forty years old, he was already as old as an eighty-year-old man, exuding an aura of decay, with cloudy and crazed eyes.

The faint trace of Golden Sacred Dragon Bloodline within him, under the covert guidance of the Asura Divine Power and the stimulation of evil thoughts, miraculously grew stronger and condensed, forming a bloodline crystal the size of a dragon's eye deep within his heart, emitting a faint golden-red halo.

But it was at this moment that the Asura God King arrived.

Without warning, a dark red Divine Sense, condensed to its extreme, was like the sharpest scalpel, easily slicing open Yu Xiaogang's chest and precisely taking away the bloodline crystal containing the pure essence of the Dragon Clan!

"No... my power... Your His Majesty the God King! Why?!" Yu Xiaogang let out an extremely shrill scream, feeling as if the most essential thing in his Life had been forcibly ripped out! His decaying body, which was originally supported by evil thoughts and evil magic, collapsed instantly.

His Soul Power dissipated like a burst dam, his meridians were severed, and his Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao, let out a mournful cry before turning into specks of light and vanishing. He was instantly reduced from a Soul Sage to his original form, becoming a cripple on the verge of death, worse than an ordinary person!

"Your waste has been utilized, your mission is over." The Asura Divine Sense coldly pronounced the verdict, casually tossing Yu Xiaogang into the Blood Pool of Hell Road, the core forbidden area of the City of Slaughter Hell Road, as if he were trash!

That Blood Pool, a collection of the essence of blood from countless victims of the City of Slaughter the years, contains boundless resentment and complex energy.

Yu Xiaogang's mangled body fell into the pool and was instantly submerged in the viscous, dark red blood. The water boiled, frantically eroding and decomposing his flesh, extracting the last trace of energy that shared the same origin as the bloodline crystal.

The Asura God King didn't even bother to glance at it again; He had achieved His goal. This "Golden Sacred Dragon Bloodline Crystal," based on the pure bloodline of the Yu Family, nourished by evil thoughts for eight years, and then tainted by the bloody aura of the City of Slaughter, was a generous gift He had prepared for His future "successor"—a perfect bloodline vessel capable of bearing a portion of the Asura Divine Power.

As for Yu Xiaogang's useless body, as the "mother" of the crystal, its final value lies in being thrown into the Blood Pool, where its remaining bloodline will act as a guide, combining with the energy of the Blood Pool to perform a "blessing".

The City of Slaughter, the Slaughter Divine Palace.

The contemporary King of Slaughter, a man shrouded in black robes and exuding a strong stench of blood, knelt respectfully on the ground. He was originally just a level 96 Super Douluo who struggled to rise to power through slaughter, but at this moment he felt a terrifying pressure originating from the depths of his soul.

"In recognition of your merit in guarding this realm, I bestow upon you a great fortune." The indifferent voice of the Asura God King rang out. Immediately afterwards, he transformed the extracted power, which contained the last Life Essence of Yu Xiaogang and the origin of the Blood Pool, into a dark red torrent and poured it into the body of the King of Slaughter!

"Aaaaaah--!" The King of Slaughter roared in pain and excitement, his body trembling violently, his Cultivation Level skyrocketing at an unprecedented speed! Level 97, Level 98, Level 99! In the end, he was forcibly pushed to the level of Titled Douluo! Although his foundation was unstable and there was little chance of further progress in the future, his current power was a solid Level 99!

At the same time, a faint connection, originating from the same source as the bloodline crystal, also formed within him. This would be the shackles and bond that bound him to his future loyalty to that "successor".

"Thank you for your grace God King!" The King of Slaughter kowtowed excitedly. He was unaware that he was merely a pawn being used, and instead felt deeply grateful to the Asura God King had bestowed power upon him.

The Asura God King's Divine Sense swept indifferently over the puppet, who was blinded by power, without any ripples in his heart.

The Fallen One are merely tools, to be discarded at any time once used. In the eyes of the Asura God King, the Fallen One are all categorized as born. Although he uses the Fallen One and Fallen One believe in him, the Asura God King only feels contempt and disdain for Fallen One. Therefore, while using them, Asura God also squeezes out all their usable value without any psychological burden.

His gaze had already turned to the Douluo Continent, to a second-rate family called the Tuoba. This family inherited the White Armored Earth Dragon Martial Soul, had a grudge against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and their bloodline contained a trace of Dragon Bloodline, making it the most suitable cradle for placing that "reincarnated" Divine Sense...

Meanwhile, in the Purple Blazing Dragon City, at the Governor's Mansion.

The atmosphere was completely different from the sinister and cruel atmosphere of the City of Slaughter city; it was filled with tension and anticipation.

Outside the delivery room, Yu Yunting paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pan, his handsome face filled with anxiety. This newly crowned Evil-Breaking Thunder God was now sweating profusely and his heart pounding like a drum because of his wife's impending childbirth.

Yu Yuanchen stood quietly to the side, watching his son's expression with a gentle smile, as if he were seeing his younger self. He patted Yu Yunting's shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, Zhilan is inside, and Xue'er's constitution is extraordinary; she'll be fine."

Yu Yunting took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, but his clenched fists betrayed his nervousness. "Father, I know... but..."

Just then--

"Wow--!"

A clear and Life Force cry of a newborn baby, like the first light of dawn, suddenly rang out from the delivery room, breaking the stillness of the night!

The moment the cry rang out, Yu Yuanchen's brow twitched almost imperceptibly. His Divine Sense, which had reached the God King Level, clearly perceived an extremely subtle fluctuation, yet carrying a trace of familiar Asura aura, which rippled out like a pebble thrown into water in a corner of a distant continent, before quickly disappearing as if it had never existed.

"Asura... you're quick on your feet." Yu Yuanchen understood, a deep smile curving his lips. "Now, let's see who wins this game."

His gaze returned to the delivery room, his eyes filled with anticipation and tenderness for the New Life. The continuation of his family and the hope for the future were far more precious to him than the petty scheming of the Divine Realm.

"It's born! It's born! It's a baby Young Master! Mother and Child Safe!" The midwife's joyful voice came from inside the room.

Upon hearing this, Yu Yunting rushed to the delivery room door, a joyful smile spreading across his face!

Yu Yuanchen nodded with a smile and stepped forward slowly. A new Life represents a new beginning, but it also foreshadows even more turbulent storms to come. But no matter what, protecting his family and this warmth remains his unwavering belief.

Outside the window, the stars twinkled, and the night was gentle. But the undercurrents of the Douluo Continent quietly accelerated their surge that night.
