• Lu Yu asked Bibi Dong to take him to Slaughter City, and they secretly left Spirit City half a day later.

• Hu Liena met Lu Yu at Slaughter City’s entrance and revealed that she had earned twenty-six victories and the title of Hell Messenger, prompting the arena to restrict matches to one per day.
• Lu Yu registered for a match and asked Hu Liena whether Tang San had arrived; she had not seen him.
• Lu Yu fought without using his Martial Soul or sect techniques, killed the other nine contestants, and used the match to hone his close-combat skills.

After two years in Slaughter City, Lu Yu completed his hundredth Hell Slaughter Arena match while Hu Liena waited for him to finish his streak. The Slaughter King appeared before Lu Yu as the arena crowd celebrated.

• Lu Yu suspected the sudden exit from the Hell Road was a trap, then used spatial power to bring himself and Hu Liena through it.
• Lu Yu entered a white space with Hu Liena, who fell asleep, and demanded that the hidden figure reveal itself.
• The Slaughter King appeared, and Lu Yu deduced that the Asura God had chosen him as an inheritor and ordered the Slaughter King to sacrifice himself.

• Lu Yu pierced the Slaughter King’s fading body, pulled out the Asura Demon Sword, and disrupted the ritual, leaving the Slaughter King bewildered.

• Lu Yu realized Hu Liena was only a Level 60 soul master without her sixth soul ring and might not survive the process.

Lu Yu diverted the remaining Slaughter Law origin from Hu Liena into the Soft Bone Rabbit, then spent more than three years suppressing their fusion while cultivating in the Immortal Realm. He discovered a way to combine the Time Sand Law with Reverse Birth Triple, making his fifth soul ring grant immortality and greatly amplify his control over time.

• Lu Yu infused the Soft Bone Rabbit with the remaining half of the Slaughter Law origin, allowing Hu Liena to recover and both to complete their fusion.

• Lu Yu used Space Solidification and a Six Ding Heavenly Armor Talisman to block Sky Dream Ice Silkworm underground, but the technique consumed nearly all his soul power and spiritual power.

• Lu Yu sent Xiao Wu into the Spirit Realm and continued searching for soul beasts with Hu Liena.

• After half an hour, Scarlet King's body vanished and a miniature three-headed puppy remained; Liu Erlong opened her eyes with destructive black flames as a dragon's roar sounded from within her.

Lu Yu restored Scarlet King by using the Ghost Realm to rebuild his soul and the Spirit Realm to restore his body, discovering that the realms drew on the Reincarnation and Life Laws.
