Three Divine Slaughter's Domains

Jing Ni also had a sword appear in her hand. An inch beneath the guard, there was likewise a white bat-shaped marking—it was the Jing Ni Sword.

What surprised Qin Xuan even more was that a flash of white light, resembling a bat-shaped marking, flickered across Jing Ni's swollen belly before vanishing in an instant.

System Profile [Jing Ni's daughter, biological father unknown, Ayan (unborn), Martial Soul unknown (unawakened), Talent: SSS, Domain: Divine Slaughter's Domain (unawakened)]

Even the unborn Ayan had obtained Divine Slaughter's Domain, and her talent had reached SSS. It was likely no worse than Qian Renxue's, who possessed a Divine Level Martial Soul. Qin Xuan clicked his tongue inwardly, carefully laid down the still-unconscious Jing Ni, and took out her Recruitment Card from the Storage Soul Tool.

Since he needed it to submit the mission, he had already reclaimed the Recruitment Card when he draped the Thousand-Gold Fur over Jing Ni.

"System, submit the mission," Qin Xuan said inwardly.

[Ding! The mission to bring back Jing Ni has been completed within the time limit. Congratulations, Host, for obtaining Hundred Thousand Year Adaptive Left Leg Bone ×1. Congratulations, Host, for obtaining Hundred Thousand Year Adaptive Soul Ring ×1. Note: The Adaptive Soul Ring's age is determined by the user's capacity, with a maximum of one hundred thousand years. Please use with caution.]

As the words fell, the golden Recruitment Card dissolved into golden light, transforming into a golden bead and an exceptionally complete golden-red left leg bone that appeared before him.

Was this a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone?

Qin Xuan took a deep breath. He understood the principle that an innocent man could still be condemned for possessing treasure.

Moreover, the exit of Slaughter City was not safe. In the eyes of forces such as Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect, it was no secret.

If he absorbed them here, someone might come rushing out from who knew where.

No one could remain unmoved in the face of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. Absorbing it rashly was far too dangerous.

Suppressing the impatience in his heart, Qin Xuan hurriedly stored the Soul Bone and the bead containing the Soul Ring in his Storage Soul Tool.

Then he began to sense Divine Slaughter's Domain.

After a while, influenced by Qin Xuan's invisible killing intent, Jing Ni, who had also obtained Divine Slaughter's Domain, woke up.

She looked around blankly, her bright black eyes filled with disbelief.

Though it was difficult to believe, the unfamiliar surroundings before her, along with the sea of blood and white curtain of light from earlier, constantly told her that she truly had arrived in another world.

"You're awake. Did you sense it? We just gained the same power. You can call it a domain—the Divine Slaughter's Domain."

Qin Xuan walked over.

Jing Ni relaxed slightly and slowly rose to her feet with Qin Xuan supporting her.

"Divine Slaughter's Domain?" Jing Ni raised the Jing Ni Sword in her right hand. "It seems to be attached to this thing called a Martial Soul. Was it bestowed by that white curtain of light above the sea of blood?"

Qin Xuan nodded and patiently explained to Jing Ni.

"That's right. The place we were in earlier was called Hell Road. It is a unique place in this world, located within Slaughter City. Only those who achieve a hundred consecutive victories in the Hell Slaughter Arena and become its champion are qualified to enter Hell Road."

Having only just arrived on Douluo Continent, Jing Ni was clearly unfamiliar with this world. Although her face remained expressionless, the deathly stillness that had once filled her beautiful black eyes in her original world was completely gone. Her entire body relaxed as she listened quietly, an almost imperceptible gentle curve unconsciously appearing at the corners of her lips.

From Slaughter City to Martial Souls.

From Martial Souls to Soul Rings.

From Soul Rings to Soul Beasts, then to Soul Beast Forest, Spirit Hall, the two great empires, and the Upper Three Sects.

Though she knew this world was still dangerous, filled with all manner of vendettas and dangerous Soul Beasts, Jing Ni was happy.

Because from this day onward, she no longer needed to worry about Web's pursuit.

"That's enough for now. Since we both obtained Divine Slaughter's Domain, we'll need to calm our killing intent for quite some time. During that period, I'll teach you this world's language and common knowledge as quickly as possible. First, use your thoughts to draw your Martial Soul back into your body."

"Mm." Jing Ni put away her Martial Soul. Her answer, just like her cold temperament, consisted of only a single word, but there was a tenderness in her eyes that had never been there before.

Looking at the handsome young man before her, who was clearly several years younger than herself, Jing Ni inexplicably said, "Then, my lord—"

"What did you call me?" Qin Xuan frowned.

"Husband, where are we going next?" Jing Ni quickly changed her words.

"That's more like it." Qin Xuan smiled softly. "First, we'll find somewhere secluded and safe to rest up. Then we'll set off for Spirit City."

He was finally going to begin absorbing the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent Inner Core, but it was, after all, equivalent to a Soul Ring more than fifty thousand years old.

Its age was over twice that of the optimal sixth Soul Ring configuration. Before that, he needed to absorb the Hundred Thousand Year left leg Soul Bone first.

Only then could he ensure nothing went wrong.

As for returning to Spirit Hall, he was not walking into Qian Xunji's trap. He had his own plans.

Qin Xuan brought Jing Ni to a remote valley far from Slaughter City and sealed off its entrance.

It took nearly three days for him to finish absorbing the Hundred Thousand Year left leg Soul Bone.

Jing Ni walked over with her large belly, took out a handkerchief, and thoughtfully wiped the sweat from Qin Xuan's temples.

"Didn't you say absorbing Soul Bones can increase Soul Power, and that the higher the Soul Bone's age, the greater the increase? You absorbed the most precious Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, so why is there still no sign that your Soul Power fluctuations have increased?"

Today, Jing Ni had changed into a blue-and-yellow casual outfit transformed from the Thousand-Gold Fur, the same style she had worn in the Qin Era World.

But because Qin Xuan did not like his woman exposing her shoulders before others, the outfit had been altered into a high-collared design.

Even so, it could not conceal Jing Ni's charm.

Her face was breathtakingly beautiful, her natural features peerless enough to topple kingdoms. Her skin was like jade cream, lovelier than peach blossoms, fair with a rosy glow, crystalline and translucent like the moon in the heavens.

"That's because my Soul Power had already reached level sixty nine months ago, but I never went to obtain a Soul Ring. The Soul Power I cultivated over the past nine months, along with the Soul Power gained from the Soul Bone, has all accumulated within my body. Once I absorb my sixth Soul Ring, I should gain roughly another six Soul Power Levels on top of the Soul Power granted by the Soul Ring itself."

"Next, I'm going to absorb the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Inner Core and turn it into my sixth Soul Ring. Some kind of mutation may occur, so stay farther away."

Qin Xuan's heart burned. Suppressing his beastly urges, he rose, wrapped his arms around her from behind, kissed her beautiful doll-like face, then helped her sit beneath the shade of a tree more than ten meters away.

Only then did he return to his spot, sit cross-legged, and begin absorbing the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent Inner Core.

Because recruited characters had the passive trait of being unable to betray the Host, Qin Xuan had not hidden the Soul Bone and inner core from Jing Ni.

He simply had not told her where the Soul Bone had come from.
