Chapter 274 Sword Douluo Breaks Through to Level 98

Yang Xiong and his two companions spent another full month in the City of Slaughter.

During this month, Sword Douluo sat in front of the Asura Demon Sword with his eyes closed, as if trying to comprehend the terrifying sword energy emanating from it.

Around the Asura Demon Sword was a huge Seven Kill Sword, which seemed to be contending with the Asura Demon Sword.

Yang Wudi has been either participating in the Hell Slaughter Arena or seriously researching poisons lately. With his strength, he is like a fish in water in this Slaughter City, and his Soul-Breaking Spear has become even more sharp and murderous.

Yang Xiong has dealt with the City of Slaughter in various ways. On the one hand, he has won over all the law enforcers, treating them with both kindness and severity. Now, Yang Xiong is the only one in the world who controls the Slaughter Domain, especially with the Asura Demon Sword. He is like the ruler of the City of Slaughter.

As for those who have fallen, Yang Xiong deliberately divided the City of Slaughter into different areas, especially the inner city, which originally had no rules.

Yang Xiong has now divided the inner city into various smaller areas, each with completely different rules. Area A remains completely unregulated, Area B restricts killing to some extent, and Area C is practically paradise...

To reside in different areas, one needs strength and contribution, as well as absolute loyalty.

In short, after Yang Xiong's arrangements, the people of the Killing City seemed to see a glimmer of hope for life, and were no longer as blind or as crazy as before.

However, during the process of organizing the personnel, Yang Xiong discovered that among the so-called degenerates were actually talents from all walks of life, and some of them could even be called geniuses.

Although they caused great harm to the Douluo Continent from the outside world, in this City of Slaughter, in addition to the original killing, they can also obtain Bloody Mary through other contributions.

For example, there are many blacksmiths in the Killing City. Yang Xiong had them make a scabbard for the Asura Demon Sword using meteorite copper from outer space, and the crafting effect was indeed very good.

This extraterrestrial meteorite copper was originally looted from the Heavenly Dou royal family. It is one of the most precious and rarest metals in the world.

Using this extraterrestrial meteorite copper to forge a scabbard can effectively isolate killing intent, and even isolate soul power and spiritual power.

Yang Xiong was so pleased that he exempted the blacksmiths from contributing points for three years. For the next three years, they would not need to contribute to Bloody Mary or participate in the Hell Killing Fields to move around in the designated area.

……

Under Yang Xiong's arrangement, the entire killing ground was no longer as chaotic as before, but rather became relatively orderly.

Yang Xiong had another purpose in doing this, which was to find out the content of the second test of the Asura God.

"The second of the Nine Trials of Asura: Take charge of the City of Slaughter and eliminate the evil thoughts within it. One year time limit; failure results in annihilation."

After careful investigation, Yang Xiong discovered that the evil intentions in the Killing City stemmed from two main reasons.

On one hand, it is influenced by the Rakshasa God; there seems to be a trace of the Rakshasa God's divine will in the Blood River of the Slaughter City.

On the other hand, the City of Slaughter itself can absorb the evil thoughts of ordinary people. Just like when the Hell Road was opened, the Hell Slaughter Field could absorb not only the flesh and blood and soul power of everyone, but also the souls of everyone. And each soul contains a lot of evil thoughts. These evil thoughts could not hide in the killing aura of the Asura God, but they were corrupted by the Rakshasa God.

This also led the people of the Killing City to gradually descend into madness. Even Bloody Mary's help was corrupted by the Rakshasa God, causing people to go insane in addition to their original killing.

To solve these two problems, we need to kill the Rakshasa's divine will on one hand, and find a way to make the City of Slaughter operate in an orderly manner on the other.

……

Sword Douluo sat in front of the Asura Demon Sword for a full month.

During this month, Sword Douluo neither ate nor drank, and didn't even move. He seemed like a dead tree.

In particular, the Seven Kill Sword and the Asura Demon Sword were constantly clashing with each other. Under the suppression of the Asura Demon Sword, the Seven Kill Sword seemed to be extremely small, like a mortal facing a god.

However, Sword Douluo himself seemed to be carefully sensing every bit of sword energy emanating from the Asura Demon Sword, and countless sword marks even appeared on his body.

This occurred during the struggle between Sword Douluo and the Asura Demon Sword. The Asura Demon Sword was many times stronger than Sword Douluo had imagined, especially its terrifying sword energy, which even Sword Douluo's strength could not match.

But at this moment, Sword Douluo was completely absorbed. Sword Douluo himself pursued the highest realm of swordsmanship throughout his life, and the Asura Demon Sword was a sword of the God Realm, which was far superior to the Soul Masters of Douluo Continent in terms of level.

Sword Douluo's Seven Kill Sword is unyielding and unbreakable. In particular, it seems that in countless battles with the Asura Demon Sword, the original azure blade has gradually begun to be stained with a trace of blood red.

On this day, Sword Douluo's aura seemed to have reached its peak. Despite repeated setbacks, he rose again and again with his sword.

When Sword Douluo opened his eyes, it was as if a sword light shot out from them, like a mortal looking at a god.

In that instant, the Seven Kill Sword unleashed boundless killing intent, as if it had been reborn. Sword Douluo's own soul power also surged, eventually seemingly breaking through some kind of constraint. Even Yang Xiong felt that the sword intent within him seemed to be drawn towards it.

Sword Douluo's soul power finally broke through to level 98, reaching the highest level in the history of the Seven Kill Sword.

Yang Wudi and Yang Xiong were overjoyed, celebrating Sword Douluo breaking through his own limits.

"Teacher, congratulations on finally reaching level 98."

Given Sword Douluo's talent and opportunities, without a 100,000-year soul ring or a 100,000-year soul bone, he theoretically would not be able to reach level 98.

But at this moment, it seemed as if he had broken through the limitations of his body, and all of this was because of Sword Douluo's understanding of the sword and his dedication to it.

Sword Douluo smiled slightly: "Xiao Xiong, thank you for letting me observe this Asura Demon Sword. I have pursued the way of the sword all my life. Only after truly seeing this Asura Demon Sword did I realize that the way of the sword is endless and that I am also aware of my own shortcomings."

Yang Xiong quickly said, "Teacher, you have dedicated your life to the pursuit of swordsmanship. Even without this Asura Demon Sword, reaching level 98 should have been just a matter of time."

Sword Douluo shook his head: "I have pursued the way of the sword all my life, but I am not as good as Old Bones. I am actually lacking in physical cultivation. My body and Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul can only support me to cultivate to level 97. Reaching level 98 now has exceeded my goal."

"It's a bit of a pity. Even if I knew that there was a broad road ahead, I'm afraid I would never be able to take another step forward in my life, nor would I be able to break through to the legendary level ninety-nine."

Yang Xiong didn't know how to comfort him after hearing this.

Yang Wudi, standing to the side, looked on with envy: "Sword Douluo, please stop making such sarcastic remarks. Since becoming a Title Douluo, my soul power has not improved much. I'm afraid I'll only reach level 95 in my lifetime."

"You can already be considered the strongest person on the continent. Apart from the two old monsters, Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen, there is no one on the continent who can defeat you."

Sword Douluo remained silent for a while, then finally smiled and said, "Old Goat, I was too attached to appearances. I didn't expect that I didn't understand the cultivation of Soul Masters as well as you do."

After a brief exchange, Sword Douluo finally spoke up: "Little Xiong, Old Goat, we've been in this City of Slaughter for a while now, and I'm about to head back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Are you planning to come back with me?"

Yang Wudi nodded: "I'm also thinking of going back. Although the City of Slaughter is nice, I am still just an ordinary person. I still have to deal with the matters of the Broken Clan. Not to mention, the Martial Soul Empire is eyeing us covetously. I have no intention of staying in the City of Slaughter forever."

Yang Xiong thought for a moment before speaking: "Teacher, Old Goat, you should leave first. I still have some things to take care of in the City of Slaughter, so I may not be back until later than you."

Sword Douluo nodded: "Alright, although you can use the Asura Demon Sword now, you are still lacking in swordsmanship and offensive skills. Perhaps you can seriously study the Asura Demon Sword."

……

After a brief discussion among the three, Yang Xiong saw Sword Douluo and Yang Wudi off as they left the City of Slaughter.

Yang Xiong then sheathed the Asura Demon Sword and went to the Hell Slaughter Field.

In the Hell Slaughter Arena, Yang Xiong used the Asura Demon Sword and the Slaughter Domain to carefully sense the environment of the entire Hell Slaughter Arena.

The Hell Slaughter Field is a massive magic array, and only the Asura Demon Sword is the true key to unlocking it.

After Yang Xiong expelled everyone from the Hell Slaughter Arena, the Slaughter Domain rapidly condensed within it, eventually forming a gigantic, blood-red bat-like figure. At the same time, the entire Hell Slaughter Arena cracked open like an abyss.

Yang Xiong looked at the abyss and ignored everything else, then leaped into it.

Yang Xiong felt a sudden weightlessness, and when he woke up again, he was already on the road to hell.

This was Yang Xiong's second time visiting Hell Road. The ancient altar was still there, but since there were no people offering sacrifices at the Hell Slaughter Field, the entire Hell Road seemed a bit bland, lacking the murderous aura and eeriness of his last visit.

Yang Xiong directly inserted the Asura Demon Sword into the crack in the center of the altar, and the entire altar began to slowly fall, eventually sinking into the river of blood.

Even Yang Xiong's body was gradually covered by the river of blood, as if he had returned to the situation when he jumped into the river of blood last time.

However, as the altar descended further, the visibility in the River of Blood increased, eventually seemingly landing on a huge platform.

Yang Xiong gripped the Asura Demon Sword, staring intently at the female figure that appeared in the center of the altar.

The woman appeared to be very tall, dressed entirely in black, and exuded an eerie black aura.

"Rakshasa God, I didn't expect you to actually be in this river of blood."
