Douluo Continent: The Phoenix God Returns

Chapter 82 Purification

The once clear sky was gradually covered by dark clouds, and large swaths of clouds appeared in the field of vision. The air also became cooler. Soon, Ye Li approached his target. A strong killing aura formed a special barrier, and he could feel the enormous killing intent and blood red color.

Before he even set foot on solid ground, Ye Li could smell a strong stench of blood. Although the air was filled with a nauseating stench of blood, he couldn't see a single drop of blood.

At this moment, a red figure appeared in front of Ye Li. He wore a blood-red robe, a high-collared cloak, and had a pale face. It was none other than the King of Slaughter. Compared to before, the King of Slaughter had changed a lot. Many mysterious blood patterns appeared on his pale skin, and there was a sword-shaped demonic mark on his forehead. On his back, a pair of huge blood-red wings spread out, which could be used for both offense and defense, and could also be used as two shields.

"You've finally arrived? I've been waiting for you for so long." The King of Slaughter's voice was devoid of any human emotion, filled only with endless coldness and malevolence.

The King of Slaughter walked slowly toward Tang Yeli, but with each step he took, he brought a powerful pressure that made it hard for people to breathe.

Facing the King of Slaughter, Ye Li remained calm, seemingly unaffected by any pressure: "I've come, but you're about to die."

"Bastard, I'll kill you."

The King of Slaughter suddenly emitted a burst of bloody light, and in a flash, he was in front of Ye Li. His two hands, covered in long, blood-red armor and resembling claws, stabbed straight at Ye Li's chest. At the same time, the dense bloody light on his body suddenly erupted and surged towards Ye Li.

A burst of intense red light suddenly erupted from Ye Li's body, turning her entire body completely fiery red. She activated her Phoenix True Form, along with her Phoenix Domain.

As the two colors of light began to collide violently in the air, vying for control of the space, the King of Slaughter's attack on Ye Li noticeably slowed down. Facing the opponent's attack, Ye Li did not dodge, but instead held his Flame Phoenix Sword horizontally to directly block the King of Slaughter's attack.

With a deafening roar, the King of Slaughter was sent flying backward as if electrocuted, his blood-red eyes filled with disbelief, and the intense shockwave made his hands tremble.

The King of Slaughter roared in unwilling anger, raising his hands to his sides. Rings of blood-red light rippled out from his body. The powerful blood-red light was not only filled with a corrosive aura, but also possessed a special energy fluctuation. In an instant, dense explosions erupted continuously from the point of contact between the Phoenix Domain and the blood-red Domain.

The King of Slaughter let out a strange laugh, "How is it? How does my Slaughter Domain taste? My Slaughter Domain is the strongest domain in the City of Slaughter, and it's also a smaller version of the magic-suppressing effect in the City of Slaughter."

"You underestimate me!"

Ye Li took a step forward, and the Phoenix Domain instantly enveloped the Killing God Domain of the King of Slaughter. Before the King of Slaughter's smug laughter could subside, Ye Li's body suddenly disappeared from the spot.

The King of Slaughter reacted swiftly, almost instinctively turning his body around, his two enormous wings lashing out behind him like sharp blades: "Your domain can actually suppress mine!"

"What I want is not just suppression, but purification." As she spoke, Ye Li raised the Flame Phoenix Sword in her hand, and the phoenix mark on her forehead suddenly lit up. At this moment, a majestic and sacred aura filled the Phoenix Domain.

The King of Slaughter's body was completely bathed in the phoenix fire emanating from the Flame Phoenix Sword, and he even maintained the posture of his arms outstretched. His two huge wings were spread behind him, making him look so ferocious, but at this moment, the aura on his body had gradually weakened.

Suddenly, the King of Slaughter's voice rang out, "Is this the power of a god?"

His voice had changed drastically compared to before. It was no longer sharp and sinister, but had become old and deep. It didn't sound like the voice of a middle-aged man at all, but rather like that of a dignified elder. His eyes, however, had become exceptionally clear, and his deep gaze was fixed on Ye Li, revealing contemplation and some complex emotions in his eyes.

"Junior Ye Li greets Senior Tang Chen!" Ye Li said respectfully.

A deep sorrow flashed in the eyes of the King of Slaughter. "How many years has it been? I don't even know how many years have passed. And now there are still people on the continent who remember me."

"Hahahaha... Did I win? Or did I lose? Nothing matters to me anymore. Was I wrong? Was I right? Decades have passed like a dream. Yet I have incurred such sins. Asura, what a Asura. In the end, I still failed your test. This is not a matter of right or wrong, perhaps it is a matter of timing and fate." The frenzied energy fluctuations caused everything around to tremble, and the greatsword in the King of Slaughter's hand continuously spilled patches of blood.

After a long while, the King of Slaughter's emotions gradually calmed down. His tears of blood stopped flowing, and his gaze became focused again. "Judging from the sword in your hand, you must be someone chosen by the gods."

"That's right, I am Ye Li, the current Pope of the Spirit Hall." Ye Li said.

"The Pope of the Spirit Hall?"
