Slaughter Aura Entered His Body, the Missing Piece of the Asura Domain! Climbing the Life Tree, an Ideal Sacred Ground for Cultivation!

The scenery around Lu Xuan abruptly distorted.

It transformed into a boundless blood-red space.

Yet within this suffocating scarlet expanse, the purest, snow-white slaughter aura eerily permeated the air.

When this white slaughter aura entered his body, Lu Xuan shuddered violently.

It was a piercing chill that seeped deep into his marrow, yet seemed capable of freezing even his soul.

This was different from the cold brought by ice-type Soul Masters.

"So that was it..."

A glimmer of understanding flashed through Lu Xuan's eyes.

He had always felt that although his Asura Domain was domineering enough to suppress Qian Renxue's Angel Domain,

it still seemed to be inexplicably missing something.

After all, even Tang San's Divine Slaughter's Domain during his Soul Emperor days had seemingly been able to suppress the Angel Domain.

Only now did he realize that what his Asura Domain lacked was precisely the purest slaughter aura found in the Divine Slaughter's Domain!

No wonder his Asura First Trial had required him to cross Hell Road.

It was to acquire the missing slaughter aura of the Divine Slaughter's Domain and fuse it with his Asura Domain, transforming it into a true Asura Domain!

This also seemed to explain why one only had a chance of attracting the Asura God's attention after obtaining the Divine Slaughter's Domain.

Because the Divine Slaughter's Domain was the prerequisite domain one had to obtain for the Asura Domain.

After drifting through endless cold and slaughter for who knew how long, Lu Xuan's consciousness finally began to return.

"Xiao Xuan!"

"Xiao Xuan, wake up!"

Two muffled voices kept echoing beside his ears.

Lu Xuan struggled to open his heavy eyelids, his blurry vision gradually clearing.

What greeted his eyes were two elderly men who looked remarkably alike, their hair and beards white, yet their spirits vigorous.

"Uncle Six, Uncle Seven!" Lu Xuan's voice was as hoarse as scraping sandpaper.

Still, he managed to force a smile.

Before he entered Slaughter City, Qian Daoliu had promised to send someone to meet him at the exit.

But he had never expected the old man to send the Worship Hall's Sixth Worshipper, Qian Jun Douluo, and Seventh Worshipper, Demon Subduing Douluo, in person!

These two were identical twin brothers who shared an intuitive connection and possessed an exceptionally powerful Martial Soul combination technique.

Together, they could clash head-on with a level 98 Super Douluo, and could even exchange blows with a Level 99 Limit Douluo!

"Good, you're awake. Here, have some water!"

Relief filled Demon Subduing Douluo's rugged face as he hurriedly offered him a water flask.

Lu Xuan accepted without ceremony and unscrewed the cap.

He gulped down a great mouthful, and only then did his parched throat come back to life.

Bracing himself against the ground, he slowly stood up and brushed the dust off his clothes, clarity returning to his eyes.

"Uncle Six, Uncle Seven, sorry for the wait. Let's go."

"All right!" Qian Jun Douluo patted Lu Xuan's shoulder and spoke.

"Big Brother was actually very worried about you. He originally intended to come get you himself this time. But because of what's happening with Xiao Xue, he really couldn't get away."

"Xiao Xue? What happened to her?" Lu Xuan's brow furrowed slightly, and he immediately pressed for an answer.

His relationship with Qian Renxue was unusual, so each of them used their own terms of address independently.

Barely concealed fervor and excitement shone in Qian Jun Douluo's eyes. "Xiao Xue... has begun her Divine Trials!"

"And they're the highest-ranked Angel Nine Trials! In the future, she'll definitely inherit the divine seat and become a true deity!"

This was no longer a secret within the Worship Hall.

As worshippers, their lifelong destiny and duty were to protect the Angel Clan and the supreme foundations of Spirit Hall.

Seeing Qian Renxue achieve so much made these old fellows even happier than if they had made breakthroughs themselves.

After all, the worshippers and the Qian Family had always supported and complemented one another.

The Angel Nine Trials... they've actually begun so much earlier! He was inwardly startled.

He had never expected that, under the influence of his butterfly effect,

Qian Renxue would begin her Divine Trials more than a decade ahead of time!

A confident smile curved Lu Xuan's lips.

If, with such a thick stack of trump cards, he could still let that child of fortune, Tang San, turn the tables on him,

then he might as well find a block of tofu and bash himself to death against it.

He would hardly deserve to be a transmigrator!

But clearly, that was absolutely impossible!

Five days later, Spirit City, Worship Hall.

Even after returning to the Worship Hall, Lu Xuan had yet to see Qian Daoliu.

He looked at the Angel God Statue. The two of them were most likely inside the space within it.

Presumably, they were busy with Qian Renxue's Divine Trials.

Lu Xuan withdrew his gaze and took a deep breath.

He had no time to stop either, because he still had to complete the God of Life's First Trial.

However, for some reason, after he completed the Asura First Trial, the Second Trial had still not arrived.

But the Second Trial's absence finally gave Lu Xuan's long-strained nerves a little breathing room.

Because now he would have enough time to devote himself fully to the Life First Trial.

"Climb the Life God Tree..." Lu Xuan murmured to himself.

This trial sounded exactly like Sea God Island's "Crossing the Sea God's Light."

Most likely, it was also an ideal treasure ground where divine might could squeeze his potential to its limits and greatly increase his cultivation speed.

Of course, he would have to try it himself to find out exactly how it worked.

Lu Xuan returned to his room, and Lu Xuan sat down cross-legged.

With a thought, he entered that life space that existed apart from the outside world.

"You're here!"

The moment he stepped inside, a voice as gentle as a spring breeze brushing willow branches sounded beside Lu Xuan's ears.

Before Lu Xuan stood the same mysterious woman in a green dress, her face indistinct, yet radiating endless vitality.

"Yes! I'm here!" Lu Xuan nodded as he answered.

He raised his head, looking past the woman toward the Life God Tree, which blotted out the sky and sun and shimmered with green light.

Around the tree's immensely thick trunk wound rings of steps formed from pure life energy.

They spiraled straight into the clouds.

It was just as he had guessed!

Lu Xuan took a deep breath, strode forward firmly, and planted one foot on the first step.

Boom!

The instant his toes touched down,

a terrifying pressure, as heavy as a mountain yet brimming with vitality, pressed against his body from every direction.

Under the squeeze of this peculiar pressure, the Soul Power inside Lu Xuan seemed to receive some powerful stimulus.

It actually circulated several times faster than usual!

Sure enough, its effects were similar to the Sea God's Light.

Lu Xuan's eyes blazed as he resisted the pressure and began climbing upward, step by step.

He intended to use this opportunity to thoroughly determine where his limits lay.

To find the step that could squeeze out the most potential and best suit his cultivation.

The time remaining for the Life First Trial was now only eight years.

Lu Xuan gazed at the steps stretching straight into the clouds.

Of course, he could not possibly spend all eight years here.

In three years at most, he would be able to pass this trial.

By then, he might be able to cultivate to Soul Saint or even higher.

He had lost far too much cultivation time during these two years in Slaughter City. He had to use this place to make up for it!
