Within his Mental Sea of Consciousness.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm saw Qian Xunji cooking his silkworm flesh and was furious.

He was a mighty, 990,000-year-old Ferocious Beast. He'd been ambushed in his sleep, killed, and his Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone had been extracted.

And now, as a remnant soul, he had to watch the detestable humans turn his body into food.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm flew into a rage—but could only manage to be angry for a moment.

Then he fled deeper into Qian Xunji's Mental Sea of Consciousness.

He had to lie low and stay alive, waiting for a chance to possess Qian Xunji. Then he could return to the Far North and see his beloved "Bingbing."

At the thought of Bingbing's petite, delicate figure and her diamond-bright, glittering body, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm couldn't help letting out a "hee-hee" laugh.

Every time he opened his eyes after waking, the first thing he did was think of Bingbing.

Bingbing, my Bingbing, what are you doing right now?

Thinking of his beloved Bingbing, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm reached the depths of the Mental Sea of Consciousness.

Then he saw something incredible.

A human woman with silver hair, dressed in a black-and-red gown, was fast asleep.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm couldn't understand why a human woman was living in the Mental Sea of Consciousness of that human called Qian Xunji.

The system sensed something approaching and opened her beautiful ruby-red eyes.

Seeing a fat Ice Silkworm with a lecherous look on his face, the system regarded him with disgust.

The system exercised her authority, and in less than a breath, she pieced together what the human she was bound to had done while she slept and recovered her energy.

A transmigrator determined to grow stronger, snatching opportunities from the protagonists of the first and second Douluo generations in a short time.

She was very satisfied with the "human's" performance.

The system wasn't a nanny. She was merely a cheat designed to help the transmigrator grow stronger.

As for the fat silkworm before her—

The system pulled out a Chainsword and charged at Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

They weren't even on the same level.

Facing an attack from a higher-dimensional powerhouse like the system, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm couldn't even react.

His remnant soul was torn apart by the Chainsword, vanishing completely—not even leaving him the chance to be reincarnated.

After dealing with the intruder, the system went back to sleep to recover her energy.

Outside, Qian Xunji ate the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm meat, lost in thought.

Absorbing and refining Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone had given him four Soul Skills.

The ninth Spirit Ring's Soul Skills were Mental Detection and Mental Sharing, both support-type Soul Skills.

Qian Xunji wouldn't complain that the Soul Skills he'd gained weren't powerful Power Attack Type skills.

If he could only unleash great combat strength by relying on powerful Spirit Ring skills, he'd be far too lazy and useless.

Self-Created Soul Skills were the true foundation of strength.

The two Soul Bone Skills from Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Head Soul Bone were Soul Shock and Mental Interference Domain.

The former was a mental attack Soul Skill, while the latter was a mental Domain Skill.

With his mental power at the Divine Origin Realm and Soul Shock at his disposal, he now had the means to defeat every native Douluo apart from those two foreign dragons.

The Mental Interference Domain would let him defeat enemies without taking a scratch.

The Soul Bone Skills could also be used in Slaughter City. That advantage was simply wonderful.

After eating, Qian Xunji took out pen and paper and wrote down his plan.

Should he first hunt several Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, obtain a few Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones, and make thorough preparations before entering Slaughter City?

Or should he make a little preparation, craft a gas mask and protective suit, then head straight for Slaughter City?

Time was precious, but he had only one life.

But considering that his arrival in this world had already changed the Douluo storyline—he hadn't taken Bibi Dong as his disciple—the longer things went on, the greater and less predictable the changes would become.

He would also lose his advantage of knowing what was coming.

At this point, Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen had yet to agree to visit Sea God Island, where Tang Chen would fall in love with Bo Saixi at first sight.

Though Tang Chen already possessed Divine Slaughter's Domain, he hadn't yet abandoned his clan and family at Bo Saixi's words, single-mindedly pursued godhood, and ended up as the King of Slaughter.

Tang Chen hadn't officially begun the Asura God Trial yet. He was in that period before he would become the King of Slaughter.

Perhaps Tang San hadn't yet been chosen by the Asura God as his successor.

This was his one and only chance to obtain the Asura God Trial and successfully inherit the Asura God Position.

If Tang Chen became the King of Slaughter and made the Asura God consider backing Tang San's ascension, that would be unfortunate for Qian Xunji.

Time was pressing, and this chance wouldn't come again. After making several sets of gas masks and protective suits, Qian Xunji hurried off to Slaughter City.

If necessary, he wouldn't hesitate to use Snowy Swan Kiss to ensure that no one in Slaughter City survived, turning it into a toxic wasteland.

He absolutely couldn't let Tang Hao and Tang San enter Slaughter City and obtain Divine Slaughter's Domain.

Slaughter Town.

Lead-gray clouds hung low, and the daylight was dim. The entire town was enveloped in a thick stench of blood.

Dark-red stains wound across the cracked flagstones, mixed with splintered bones and scraps of cloth.

The buildings on either side were ruined and collapsed, their doors and windows shattered, their walls covered in bloodstains and blade marks.

Twisted corpses littered the streets and alleys. Broken blades lay everywhere, and the wind carried the stench of rot and blood.

Vultures perched on a broken wall, letting out hoarse cries.

The silence weighed on the lungs. Only the mournful wind, whistling through the ruins, broke it. This was a hell on earth, soaked in blood and filled with nothing but despair.

Countless Fallen Soul Masters had gathered there. They kidnapped commoners for amusement and used them as food.

When Qian Xunji arrived in Slaughter Town and saw the hellish scene, hearing the countless cries of anguish, his expression darkened.

He wasn't a saint, but he hated criminals from the bottom of his heart.

Especially criminals who didn't treat people as people.

The Fallen Soul Masters before him stirred the urge to kill within him.

No. Anyone who ate their own kind wasn't human.

Qian Xunji thought about killing every Fallen Soul Master in front of him.

When the Fallen Soul Masters saw the handsome, fair-skinned Qian Xunji, they each wore strange smiles, their gazes turning sticky.

Handsome, fair-skinned, clean, and free of grime or any foul odor.

He was a rare delicacy.

Whether as a plaything or an ingredient, he was the finest quality—an opportunity that came once in a blue moon.

"He looks delicious." A round-faced Fallen Soul Master with a full beard eyed Qian Xunji with a sticky gaze, licked his lips, and chuckled.

Qian Xunji was disgusted, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

He went all out.

The Angel Domain unfolded at full force, covering Slaughter Town!

For the Fallen Soul Masters, the Angel Domain unleashed by a Level 98 Peak Douluo was downright lethal.

"What the hell is this? Why is my body melting?"

"Holy crap, the Angel Domain! What's the Pope of Spirit Hall doing in Slaughter City?"

"I don't want to die!"

"Please, don't kill me. I'll work like an ox or a horse for you."

"Damn the Angel Clan! I curse you to die a horrible death!"

Whether the Fallen Soul Masters begged for mercy or cursed him, Qian Xunji didn't stop what he was doing.

These Fallen Soul Masters, whose Soul Power Levels didn't even reach Spirit Saint, couldn't last long in the Angel Domain. They melted away like cream.

Killing so many Fallen Soul Masters and purifying the evil and filth made Qian Xunji's Soul Power a little more substantial.

He swept the area with his divine sense and sensed that he'd killed all the Fallen Soul Masters in Slaughter Town, then withdrew the Angel Domain.

As for whether the commoners captured by the Fallen Soul Masters would survive, that was up to their own fortunes.

Qian Xunji: I'm in a hurry right now. I have no interest in playing the so-called hero.
