Ouyang Kong had no idea how much infighting a single Teyvat Fried Egg would cause within the Clear Sky Sect. Rather than worry about the sect, he'd rather spend more time looking at Nahida.
As expected, our Lesser Lord Kusanali was the cutest.
Though Nahida was also puzzled by the Teyvat Fried Egg awarded by the Sky Screen, she didn't ask about it. She simply gave Ouyang Kong a sweet smile when he looked her way.
As expected, Nahida's smile was the most healing. Long live Lesser Lord Kusanali!
The Sky Screen's updates continued, and the seventh-ranked faction came as a bit of a surprise.
[Rank 7: Slaughter City]
Not many people knew about Slaughter City. It was mostly spoken of among the fallen.
Many people discussed what sort of faction Slaughter City was, since it had ranked ahead of the Clear Sky Sect.
"Slaughter City! They even included that place in the rankings!"
Qian Daoliu had indeed overlooked Slaughter City. In his mind, it was merely a special prison, not a faction in its own right.
Ouyang Kong, meanwhile, wondered what there was about Slaughter City worth reviewing. The King of Slaughter was Tang Chen, and he'd already been reviewed once.
Besides, it was strange for Slaughter City to rank ahead of the Clear Sky Sect. Other than its unique terrain, Slaughter City's high-level fighters were no match for the Clear Sky Sect.
People in Slaughter City could see the Sky Screen too. After it exposed that the King of Slaughter was actually Tang Chen, he'd already grown somewhat afraid.
Now that the Sky Screen was reviewing Slaughter City itself, he was even more terrified.
"He's stirring! No, I can't let him wake up. If he does, I'm finished!"
The Blood Red Nine-headed Bat King desperately suppressed Tang Chen's consciousness, giving him no chance to awaken.
[Affiliation: Asura God]
[High-Level Fighter: King of Slaughter]
[Soul Power Level: 99 (Pseudo)]
[True Form: Tang Chen, parasitized by the Blood Red Nine-headed Bat King]
[Special Locations: Hell Slaughter Arena, Hell Road]
[Special Regional Effect: Magic Suppression (Soul Ring abilities cannot be used)]
The basic information about Slaughter City was revealed, but those unfamiliar with it still didn't understand what any of it meant.
Ouyang Kong's question, however, had been answered.
"'Affiliation: Asura God.' So Slaughter City ranked ahead of the Clear Sky Sect because Asura God is behind it? That makes sense."
The scene on the Sky Screen slowly unfolded, revealing a full view of Slaughter City.
The sky was dark red. There was no sun, only a purple moon hanging overhead, lending the place a suffocating, eerie atmosphere.
As the camera drew closer, skeletal, walking corpses wandered through the outer city. Farther ahead, in the inner city, the word "chaos" came to life.
Fighting, killing, even unspeakable acts were carried out in the open. There were no rules here. As long as you could survive, you could do whatever you wanted.
Of course, ordinary people would be sickened by the sight of Slaughter City. Unless they were insane, no one would willingly go to a place like that.
The camera moved on to the Hell Slaughter Arena, where ten people entered a deathmatch and only one could survive.
Even if you won, you still had to face the people waiting outside the Hell Slaughter Arena, watching you like hungry wolves.
In short, for ordinary people, Slaughter City was nothing less than hell.
The scene on the Sky Screen changed to a close-up of the King of Slaughter, seated on his throne like the absolute ruler of Slaughter City.
But as the camera pulled back once more, the full view of Slaughter City appeared again. This time, a fearsome giant's upper body loomed above it.
[Asura God]
The scene froze on Asura God. Then the camera rapidly moved upward, crossing through space until the real Asura God appeared on the Sky Screen, seated in the Divine Realm.
The corner of Asura God's mouth twitched. The Divine Realm could see the Sky Screen too, and now it was broadcasting live.
To preserve his dignity as a God King, Asura God decided to sit still.
When the Sky Screen first appeared, he'd tried to attack it too, only to cough up three pints of blood. That had made him understand clearly that they couldn't fight the Sky Screen.
Since they couldn't resist, they might as well accept it. The Five God Kings had all prepared themselves to be reviewed by the Sky Screen. Asura God just hadn't expected to be first.
[Name: Asura God]
[Identity: One of the Five God Kings of the Divine Realm, God of Law Enforcement]
[Super Divine Artifact: Asura Divine Sword]
[The only bachelor among the Five God Kings, currently searching for an heir so he can quit]
The Sky Screen's introduction shattered Asura God's dignity. Even Ouyang Kong couldn't help laughing.
"Heh, 'the only bachelor among the Five God Kings'—that's a pretty accurate description. The other four are paired off.
After all these years, he must have eaten enough dog food to pile up into a whole planet."
In the Divine Realm, God King of Destruction, who had never gotten along with Asura God, was laughing merrily too.
"Hahaha, a bachelor! Asura, those three words suit you perfectly!"
Asura God could hear God King of Destruction mocking him. If the Sky Screen weren't broadcasting live, he'd have already drawn his sword and gone to cut him down.
Next, the Sky Screen showed one of Asura God's finest moments.
It was the scene from back then when he joined forces with the other four God Kings and split the Dragon God in half with a single strike of the Asura Blood Sword.
Asura God was quite pleased with this, unaware that the sight had only added to the Silver Dragon King's hatred for him.
It wasn't just the Silver Dragon King. The Grass Dragon King Apep had also taken a certain "interest" in Asura God. If she got the chance, she'd go have a nice, long talk with him.
With Apep setting her sights on him, Asura God could only hope for the best.
Asura God had thought the Sky Screen would keep showing his finest moments, but the review had already ended.
The Sky Screen switched back to Slaughter City. Tang Hao and the King of Slaughter were fighting there now.
Tang San watched the Sky Screen anxiously. Tang Hao was certainly powerful, but defeating the King of Slaughter in Slaughter City would be incredibly difficult.
Though the King of Slaughter feared Tang Hao, the God of Slaughter, he feared him because of Tang Chen, not Tang Hao. What's more, Tang Hao was still carrying old injuries and wasn't at his peak.
Tang Hao wielded the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes with consummate skill, but could only just barely hold back the King of Slaughter's assault.
"Ring Detonation!"
Tang Hao instantly detonated seven Soul Rings, pouring their immense Soul Power into the Clear Sky Hammer.
"Great Sumeru Hammer!"
The King of Slaughter gripped the Asura Divine Sword. Blood-red energy erupted from him as he forcibly blocked Tang Hao's Great Sumeru Hammer.
"Haha, Tang Hao, you've run out of tricks now, haven't you?"
Just as the King of Slaughter thought he'd won, Tang Chen's consciousness awakened.
"No! No!"
The Blood Red Nine-headed Bat King's consciousness was suppressed by the awakened Tang Chen.
As Tang Chen's consciousness returned, the crimson patterns faded from the King of Slaughter, revealing Tang Chen's true face.
"Grandfather! You're finally awake!"
"Haotian, sorry for the trouble!"
