Asura Third Trial, Breakthrough (Bonus Chapter for Ban Yuan)

Qian Xunji activated his ninth spirit skill, his spiritual detection covering the entirety of Heaven Dou City.

Every manner of affair within the city could not escape his spiritual perception.

He observed the actions of the Heaven Dou nobles with his own eyes and kept them in his heart, waiting for a suitable opportunity to strike and wipe them out in one fell swoop.

After all, swatting flies one by one was not as efficient as letting them gather together to be caught in a single net; it saved both time and effort.

"Verify whether the crimes are true."

"Different criminal acts carry different punishments."

"For minor crimes such as theft without causing injury or harm, send them directly to the mountains to mine."

"For severe crimes such as rape, human trafficking, murder, or arson, once verified, execute them on the spot."

In order to submit a satisfactory answer for his Asura Third Trial, Qian Xunji drafted a set of strict laws and harsh punishments, handing them over to the Spirit Hall deacons to continue the work of cracking down on criminals.

With tangible ten-thousand-year spirit bones as rewards, the spirit masters' enthusiasm for their work was like fire.

Saphis clutched the ten-thousand-year spirit bone he had been longing for to his chest, as excited as a three-year-old child.

It was worth the overtime he had put in, working day and night, even sweeping through the small towns and villages in the areas surrounding Heaven Dou City.

When the Pope had good things, he truly brought them out to reward those below him.

It was just that he did not know why the Pope did not want to reveal his identity and even demanded that he not disclose any information about him.

For the law-abiding residents of Heaven Dou City, this period had been chaotic because the Spirit Hall spirit masters were arresting people everywhere.

However, once the criminals who used to collect protection money, rob, and extort were all arrested, they suddenly realized that life could be so peaceful, without having to live in fear all day long.

"Days without having to pay protection money every day are just great," a small vendor laughed.

"We must thank that Title Douluo, Your Excellency, who wore armor," a citizen, once forced into wrongdoing, expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

In the past, those criminals had gone too far, even taking lives, but at most, they would be caught by the patrol and locked up for a few days before being released to continue tormenting them.

Now, this group of criminals was directly executed; with them dead and turned to ash, the residents no longer had to worry about them making a comeback to torment them.

Although they also knew that such days could not last long, and that as soon as the armored Douluo left Heaven Dou City, everything would return to the way it was before.

The imperial nobles were like those who had consumed whale glue when it came to squeezing and exploiting the poor—excited and tireless.

Inside the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

The Emperor of Heaven Dou had absolutely no interest in the inner thoughts of the commoners.

What he was most worried about now was that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master Ning Hai, the sect-protecting Fire Dragon Douluo, and several Spirit Saint elders had died within Heaven Dou City.

Would the new Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master hold a grudge against the Heaven Dou Imperial Family because of this?

Without the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, how could the Heaven Dou Empire have enough powerful spirit master troops to confront the Star Luo Empire's White Tiger Legion?

Without the auxiliary combat amplification of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, the Heaven Dou Empire's noble spirit masters were simply incapable of resisting the strength-worshipping, fierce, and powerful Star Luo noble spirit masters.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect did not want to intervene in the hegemony of the two great empires.

Spirit Hall stood high above, balancing the equilibrium of the continent.

The Clear Sky Sect remained ambiguous, simultaneously expressing appreciation for the Star Luo Empire's strength-based national policy while coming into Heaven Dou Empire territory to sell weapons and armor to earn money for food.

"Ye'er, although Tang Yuehua of the Clear Sky Sect is a waste, she is, after all, the granddaughter of Tang Chen and the youngest daughter of Tang Zhen. Find a way to win her over."

"Father, she only just awakened her spirit this year," Xue Ye replied tactfully.

Political marriage was fine.

But... Tang Yuehua was so young, and he did not want to be beaten to death by her grandfather, father, or two older brothers.

"For the sake of the Heaven Dou Empire."

"Yes."

The conversation between the father and son, Xue Ye, was known to no one else.

But within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's base, Seven Treasure City, Ning Fengzhi was red-eyed and panting like an ox upon learning that his father, Ning Hai, had died in Heaven Dou City; his originally scholarly and gentle face turned ferocious.

"Uncle Gu, do not stop me. Let me go to Heaven Dou City! This hatred for my father, I, Ning Fengzhi, must avenge!"

"The opponent is a genuine Limit Douluo. Even if we sacrifice the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I fear it would be difficult to kill him," Gu Rong advised helplessly.

Qian Xunji's aura was too powerful, especially that thick, terrifying, and seemingly tangible killing intent on his body.

Tang Chen also possessed a thick killing intent.

But Gu Rong, who possessed the Bone Dragon spirit, was extra sensitive to killing intent and clearly knew that the killing intent on the two men was not on the same level at all.

Beyond the killing intent, the Bone Dragon was also surprised to find that compared to Tang Chen, the pressure Qian Xunji brought him was even greater.

With their current strength in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they simply could not defeat this Limit Douluo, who might be even more powerful than Tang Chen.

"Uncle Gu, are you just going to let me watch my father's murderer live in ease and comfort?"

"No, you must first pull yourself together, inherit the position of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master, strengthen the sect, and recruit and cultivate more Title Douluo powerhouses."

"Remember, only a Title Douluo can confront a Title Douluo. If you want revenge, you must have enough Title Douluos to surround and attack the opponent; only then will it be possible to succeed."

"That guy killed Yu Xiaogang of the Blue Lightning Jade Clan and Tang Yin of the Clear Sky Tang Clan. Perhaps you can use this to unite all the Titled Douluo powerhouses of the Upper Three Sects to crusade against him together."

Bone Douluo's words jolted Ning Fengzhi awake, making him realize the path he should take and what he needed to do in the future.

Although, even now, people from outside forces did not know what Qian Xunji looked like inside the Emperor Armor, nor did they know where he came from or his specific identity.

Returning the scene to Heaven Dou City.

Inside the Duke Will Mansion, guests were gathered in crowds.

High-ranking nobles at the Soul Saint level were gathered in the conference room, arguing incessantly.

It was true that the nobles had united.

But hunting down this powerhouse, Qian Xunji—who was suspected to be an Agility Attack System Titled Douluo with powerful flight capabilities—made them feel troubled.

It was not that there were no flying soul masters among the nobles, but their numbers were few and their strength was not high.

Fighting an aerial battle against Qian Xunji was simply impossible to win.

To kill a Titled Douluo, they first had to force the opponent to stop using their flight ability and engage them in a direct ground battle.

Only by relying on their numerical advantage to exhaust the soul power within the opponent would it be possible to kill him.

"Those who conspire to rebel, endanger national security, and drag innocent civilians into hell!"

"Whether they are the primary culprits or accomplices, all shall face the death penalty, to be executed immediately!"

As night fell and the bright moon hung in the sky, Qian Xunji stepped through the void. His cold voice, bolstered by the spiritual power of the Divine Origin Realm, was transmitted precisely into the ears of every noble, private soldier, lackey, and thug.

Before they could even begin to curse, the bright red God of Slaughter Domain spread out beneath Qian Xunji's feet, covering the entire Duke Will Mansion.

The noble soul masters instantly felt the soul power within their bodies being suppressed.

"Is this the God of Slaughter Domain of Clear Sky Douluo Tang Chen?" an old noble with broad knowledge exclaimed in surprise.

Amidst the shocked gazes of the nobles, Qian Xunji directly activated his eighth soul skill, Angel Roar, a mass-attack spiritual soul skill used to slaughter enemies over a wide area.

Weak noble soul masters faced with this move had their heads explode instantly.

Only those nobles whose cultivation had reached the Soul Saint level managed to save their lives, though they fell into a coma as a result.

Qian Xunji manipulated golden short swords to harvest the noble soul masters who were not yet dead and lay unconscious with a final breath.

As for the private soldiers, lackeys, and thugs who possessed no soul power and had been pinned down by the God of Slaughter Domain, a single fire was enough to ignite them.

Golden flames set the Duke Will Mansion ablaze, burning every living creature within the estate to death.

The fire soared into the sky, and countless people within Heaven Dou City poked their heads out to watch.

"Golden flames... could it be that Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu has also arrived?"

First came the God of Slaughter Domain of Clear Sky Douluo Tang Chen, and then the golden flames of Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu.

Why would two Limit Douluos join forces to destroy the Duke Will Mansion?

High-level soul masters who lacked the truth but possessed some insight were left with question marks appearing in their minds.

A night of fire burned away the evil.

Qian Xunji had finally achieved the KPI required by the Asura Third Trial: to judge ten thousand criminals.

Asura God Trial Third Trial: Judge ten thousand criminals completed. Reward: 10% Asura Divine Power affinity.
