In the City of Slaughter, an ancient prophecy circulates.

It originates from a mysterious wall deep within the ruins.

It speaks of a great catastrophe that will arrive when a Slaughter God descends, though the specific meaning remains unclear.

Currently, there are two living Slaughter Gods in the world: Tang Hao and Bibi Dong. When they obtained their domains, they both caused devastating damage to this place.

Consequently, everyone, including the King of Slaughter, believes in this prophecy implicitly and does their utmost to obstruct the emergence of new ones within the limits of the rules.

Yet, this was not the case for Long Xingyu.

On the contrary, he even went out of his way to accelerate his opportunities for consecutive victories.

That is why the enchanting woman beside him harbored such doubts and raised them cautiously.

Hearing this, the King of Slaughter curled his lips into a sinister smile and nodded.

"Correct, your observations are very keen. I indeed did not stop him; I even facilitated the acceleration of his trials."

"As for the reason, it is simple: I sense something in that fellow that attracts me—something very special..."

The King of Slaughter said, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He recalled the first time he took notice of Long Xingyu.

When the two were close, there seemed to be something within the other's body that made his own blood boil inexplicably, triggering a powerful sense of craving.

He was unaware of the Divine Throne of Apocalypse and Slaughter and mistakenly assumed it was related to bloodline, so he decided to do the opposite of his usual practice.

He helped him reach a hundred consecutive victories to earn the qualification to challenge the Hell Road. If he died halfway, his corpse would naturally fall into his hands, allowing him to obtain what was inside.

And even if Long Xingyu possessed extraordinary talent and passed successfully, he would surely be extremely weak and exhausted; launching a sneak attack then would have a higher success rate than now.

The King of Slaughter had already guessed that this person possessed a special ability, either bypassing the rules of the City of Slaughter to use his martial soul power or employing some other means.

In any case, it was not worth acting now.

Rather than taking risks, it was better to lower the target's guard first.

However, he could never have imagined that his own prying would disrupt Long Xingyu's rhythm.

It led to him approaching a hundred victories before the large-scale teleportation array had finished burning, forcing him to implement a contingency plan.

"This guy probably has other secrets hidden away."

"But regardless, he cannot escape the palm of this King."

"Hehe, I have already begun to look forward to devouring his flesh and blood."

"Continue with the arrangements, find some scapegoats to fill the numbers, the faster the better!"

The King of Slaughter issued his latest instructions, and the enchanting woman bowed and departed immediately.

Soon, new slaughters began once more, and Long Xingyu performed as usual, maintaining his winning streak with ease.

After some time, he reached the count of ninety-nine, and the massive killing intent accumulated to this point swirled within his body.

It was entirely absorbed by the Divine Throne of Apocalypse and Slaughter, and the compatibility between man and divine artifact was no longer what it once was.

"The final match! Let's make it quick."

Long Xingyu was calm and composed as he walked toward the arena.

He had long since grown tired of the wretched environment of the City of Slaughter and felt no attachment to it whatsoever.

His mind was entirely focused on completing the mission, challenging the Hell Road to obtain the Slaughter God's Domain, and activating the hidden array.

Once the Demon God Vanguard Army descended, it would no longer be his concern; those belligerent and fierce fellows were far better suited to cleaning up this place than he was.

"Congratulations on achieving a hundred consecutive victories."

The final battle commenced, and the outcome was without suspense.

When Long Xingyu stood alone with no enemies remaining around him, a low, sharp voice echoed.

In mid-air, a vortex of intertwining darkness and blood appeared out of thin air, forming a passage as the King of Slaughter made his official entrance.

Occupying the burly body of Tang Chen and wearing a scarlet cloak, the visitor had a pale face and blood-red eyes, making him indistinguishable from a vampire.

Long Xingyu became instantly alert.

He had not forgotten the warning Lin Feng had once given him.

There was a Titled Douluo at the peak level within the City of Slaughter.

Although judging solely by his aura, he was far from that standard, surely things could not be that simple?

Having reached this step, he was certain to prioritize caution, so Long Xingyu gathered his focus and looked up.

All around, cries of "King of Slaughter" rose and fell in a frenzy, and it took quite a while for silence to return.

"This King is very pleased to witness the birth of a new powerhouse."

"The Hell Road has opened; enjoy your reward!"

"Walk through it, and you shall obtain the title of Slaughter God, as well as the right to enter and leave this place freely."

The words of the King of Slaughter seemed to carry a certain hypnotic tone, coaxing and guiding emotions to make the fallen even more agitated.

At the same time, ripples of red light spread outward, instantly shrouding the entire area. Only Long Xingyu remained unaffected, his body blooming with golden radiance.

The energy originating from the Divine Throne dispersed the eerie ripples. The King of Slaughter took a deep look at him, thinking to himself that his suspicions were indeed correct.

The Long Xingyu before him possessed something within his body that attracted him; was it perhaps this very thing that allowed him to be "immune" to the rules of the City of Slaughter?

If they were to clash in a real fight now, he might not necessarily come out on top. He hurriedly sacrificed the fallen ones nearby, using their lives and blood to fully open the Hell Road!

A vast amount of blood converged in the center, forming a bat pattern on the floor. A blood-colored mist revealed a passage, and a powerful suction force pulled Long Xingyu inside, causing him to vanish without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Hehe, no matter what methods you have, once you enter that place, it will no longer be up to you."

Seeing that the plan had gone smoothly, the King of Slaughter revealed a smug smile before flying in after him.

Yet, he was completely unaware that in that very instant, Long Xingyu had already activated a certain restriction through his formidable spiritual power.

Again and again... meanwhile, inside a stone house in the outer city, an increasing number of formation patterns in standby mode began to emit a strange light.

The long-perfected concealment arrays performed a great service once again, isolating energy and light so that no one within the City of Slaughter noticed anything unusual.

Conversely, Lin Feng, far away on the Holy Demon Continent, and the First Demon Legion, which had been poised for action, were immediately drawn by the disturbance, realizing that the second phase of the plan had officially begun!

"It is the fluctuation of a temporary teleportation array."

As the link, Electrolux connected the two continents with his soul.

Familiar with the process, he interacted with this energy to establish a spatial channel.

Compared to large-scale teleportation arrays, temporary ones lasted for a very short time and consumed far more energy, capable of transporting only a small number of people.

With Electrolux's current strength, the limit was at most twenty powerhouses at the ninth rank; he would need to rest for a long time afterward, otherwise, he would collapse.

Therefore, Lin Feng had long since prepared a contingency plan.

The First Demon Legion numbered over ten thousand.

Clearly, they did not meet the aforementioned teleportation criteria, so he had to settle for the next best thing.

He switched to using the [Vanguard], led by the Fourth Pillar Necromancer Demon God Samigina and the Fifth Pillar Hell Demon God Marbas.

The First Demon Legion provided a total of twelve ninth-rank Demon Gods, plus several others transferred from other legions, to make up a temporary team of twenty.

They would prioritize heading to the Douluo Continent to directly conquer the City of Slaughter, thoroughly purging its interior to serve as a new Outpost, where they could securely set up a large-scale teleportation array.

"Everyone, it is time for you to take the stage..."
