Slaughter City, Hell Road.

When Qian Xunji, clad in Emperor Armor, stepped inside, he felt a stifling heat that made him somewhat uncomfortable.

Unlike Tang San and Hu Liena in the original story, whose cultivation had been low, he could fly.

The chaotic terrain and obstacles within Hell Road were practically nonexistent to him.

Compared to Tang San and Hu Liena, who entered a life-or-death struggle the moment they stepped onto Hell Road, Qian Xunji strolled around as if taking a leisurely walk.

Below him churned the boiling Yellow Spring Blood River. Its waters were formed from the Soul Power and blood of failed challengers over thousands of years, containing deadly poison and violent baleful energy. The rising heat scorched the flesh, and merely approaching it would cause one's Soul Power to collapse.

Of course, that was only for ordinary Spirit Masters.

For Qian Xunji, a Limit Douluo who had undergone Ice and Fire Body Tempering and possessed an Indestructible Vajra Body, it was nothing at all.

It was merely red hot water that reeked of blood. Nothing to worry about.

What interested Qian Xunji instead was what lay beneath the Yellow Spring Blood River.

A thousand meters up or down—when a King Descends from Heaven in free fall, it only took fourteen seconds.

He activated the storage function of the System Space and extracted the Bloody Mary from the Yellow Spring Blood River.

Qian Xunji was somewhat curious whether feeding Bloody Mary to ordinary Spirit Beasts could accelerate their growth and increase their cultivation age.

If it could, mass-producing Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts would no longer be a dream.

If not, then the Spirit Beasts that consumed Bloody Mary would most likely evolve into Evil Spirit Beasts.

No matter which result it was, he would profit immensely.

Once all the Bloody Mary in the Yellow Spring Blood River had been drained, Qian Xunji used his Ninth Soul Skill, Mental Detection, to sweep the area again and again, yet he could not find any useful information.

Other than a conversion formation, there was nothing here.

The formation was useful, but he could not dismantle it and take it away.

He left the Yellow Spring Abyss Zone and arrived at the Magma Rift Zone.

Noticing the choking sulfurous toxic fumes, Qian Xunji immediately took out a gas mask and put it on.

He then passed through quickly, entered the Toxic Miasma Swamp, and promptly left the area.

He arrived at Bat Nest Death Pass.

When Tang San and Hu Liena had come here, they had been attacked by Bloodthirsty Bats and the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King.

When Qian Xunji arrived, however, the bats trembled in fear and did not dare come out.

Faced with a Limit Douluo, they naturally cowered and kept their heads down. Staying alive was what mattered.

The last Limit Douluo to come here carrying a hammer had also made the bats too afraid to go out looking for trouble.

Qian Xunji merely used his Ninth Soul Skill, Mental Detection, to search the area. Finding nothing unusual, he left and continued onward.

Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King: Ah, good thing he left.

Blood Wing Nine-Headed Bat King: It feels good to still be alive.

Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent: It's over. He's after my inner core.

Tang San and Hu Liena had only been Soul Kings, yet they had been able to cooperate and kill the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent.

Against Qian Xunji, a Limit Douluo, it had no ability to resist whatsoever.

It could not defeat him, could not escape him, and was not even given the chance to self-destruct.

Corpse, recovered.

Inner core? Swallowed in one bite!

That was Qian Xunji's attitude toward the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent.

"Not tasty." After swallowing the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent's inner core, he spoke with a look of disgust.

If he had known it would taste so bad and bitter, he would have coated it in natural honey first.

He drank a cup of chilled Coconut Palm Brand Coconut Juice to rinse his mouth and wash away the bitterness.

Soul Pressure Field.

The closer he got to the exit, the stronger the soul pressure left behind by the Asura God became. It could directly crush the weak-willed and trap challengers in endless illusions of terror.

But Qian Xunji possessed Divine Origin Realm spiritual power, as well as a 990,000-year Sky Dream Ice Silkworm head Spirit Bone.

This was a life-or-death crisis for Tang San and Hu Liena.

But for Qian Xunji, it was no more than a gentle breeze brushing his face.

Moreover, Qian Xunji had cultivated the "Ice Heart Technique" given to him by System Mother, allowing him to maintain absolute rationality and remain free from the corrosion of external negative emotions.

The exit of Hell Road was exceptionally conspicuous, with white light condensing into an oval curtain of light.

A small lake formed from countless pools of blood was, of course, collected for recycling.

Before leaving Hell Road, the incomparably dense killing intent around Qian Xunji's body seemed to be drawn by a special force.

He knew this was the process of his killing intent transforming into Divine Slaughter's Domain.

The instant Qian Xunji stepped into the white curtain of light, he immediately felt as though his body had entered a special world.

All around him was a vast, snow-white Void world.

Within this boundless white world, he could not muster even a trace of strength.

The only sensation was cold.

Qian Xunji did not resist, nor did he feel fear. He simply waited quietly.

Waited to awaken.

Who knew how long had passed before Qian Xunji, lying on a field of Blue Silver Grass, regained consciousness. He saw that a white pattern had appeared on the Golden Treasure Sword of his Emperor Armor.

He knew that this was Divine Slaughter's Domain.

Obtaining Divine Slaughter's Domain meant obtaining a ticket to inherit the Asura God Position.

"Before entering Slaughter City again, I need to prepare more blood resources." Qian Xunji lowered his gaze in thought and murmured.

Within Slaughter City, whether Fallen Soul Masters who possessed Soul Power or fallen ones who did not, he had found them all and slaughtered them.

If no new fallen ones entered the current Slaughter City, it would become an underground city without people.

Qian Xunji did not know whether Bloody Mary could directly open Hell Road, but preparing more supplies was better than repeatedly entering and leaving Slaughter City.

In any case, hunting low-age Spirit Beasts would not take much time.

God Realm, Asura God Temple.

Dark crimson mist shrouded the majestic divine throne, upon which the First-Generation Asura God sat quietly.

Patterns flowed across his blood-red divine armor, his long hair draped over his shoulders, and a pair of scarlet vertical pupils gazed down upon the world with indifference.

The killing intent around him had condensed into substance, silent yet biting.

His slender hand rested lightly upon the hilt of the Asura Demon Sword. He said nothing, yet he naturally possessed the supreme majesty to command slaughter and judge countless realms.

"Oh, someone else has obtained Divine Slaughter's Domain." The Asura God was somewhat surprised.

In less than ten years of the mortal world, two mortals at the level of Limit Douluo had passed the trials of Slaughter City, traversed Hell Road, and obtained Divine Slaughter's Domain.

To the Asura God, this was a happy occasion.

These two human powerhouses who had obtained Divine Slaughter's Domain were his hope of retiring early and leaving the God Realm.

The Asura God began paying attention to Qian Xunji and examined his performance within Slaughter City.

Seeing how Qian Xunji faced the fallen ones without saying a word, simply raising his sword and beheading them all, he felt some displeasure.

A person who slaughtered too freely was not suited to inherit the Asura God Position and become a Law Enforcement God of the God Realm.

But when he saw Qian Xunji unhesitatingly reject the olive branch extended by the Rakshasa God,

his opinion changed considerably, and he regarded Qian Xunji more highly.

To resist the temptation of Godhood and reject the Rakshasa God Trial took commendable courage.

The Asura God began comparing the two current holders of Divine Slaughter's Domain on Douluo Continent.

Tang Chen and Qian Xunji both possessed the cultivation of Limit Douluo.

Qian Xunji possessed a Million-Year Spirit Ring, but Tang Chen also possessed a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring.

Tang Chen possessed a full set of Spirit Bones and already had divine equipment, while Qian Xunji only had one head Spirit Bone.

After comparing them all around, the Asura God appreciated Tang Chen more, for he had created Ring Detonation and the Clear Sky Ultimate Technique.

Although Tang Chen was older, he possessed extensive entrepreneurial and management experience as a member of the older generation.

If such a person inherited his Godhood, he would quickly become competent at the work of a Law Enforcement God in the God Realm.

In comparison, Qian Xunji, as a member of the younger generation, had almost no experience managing subordinates and did not like office work.

If such a person inherited the Asura God Position, he would not dare hand over the position of Law Enforcement God of the God Realm to him.
