Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Mysterious Heavy Ruler

Chapter 63 (Untitled)

"Looks like the little angel is pretty quick. After training the substitute, she's already produced a little one so soon. If that old bastard Xue Ye knew that the child in the Crown Princess's belly isn't of royal blood, wouldn't he be furious?" Xiao Yi thought with great interest after listening to Dugu Yan's story.

Xiao Yi then recounted his experiences in the Killing City over the past year and a half to Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan listened attentively to Xiao Yi's experiences in his arms, making sure she didn't miss a single word.

At the beginning, Xiao Yi described the environment of the Slaughter City. When Dugu Yan heard about the environment, images of mountains of corpses and seas of blood appeared in her mind, and the streets were filled with people who were skin and bones and looked like skeletons. Dugu Yan was so frightened that she subconsciously hugged Xiao Yi's body even tighter.

Then, she looked at Xiao Yi with heartache as he recounted the horrific scene of him standing on a small mountain of corpses, covered in wounds, after killing over a thousand people at once.

She couldn't even imagine how Xiao Yi had managed to emerge unscathed from the City of Slaughter for a year and a half; it must have been incredibly difficult for him there.

Finally, Xiao Yi mentioned that the soul beasts in Hell Road were all species never seen on the continent, making Dugu Yan marvel at the vastness and wonder of the world.

After she finished speaking, Dugu Yan clung tightly to Xiao Yi and wouldn't let go. Xiao Yi looked at Dugu Yan hugging him like a koala and comforted her, "Alright, I'm fine now. Besides, I got a reward, didn't I?"

Then Xiao Yi asked Dugu Yan to let go and began to demonstrate to her what she had gained from this trip.

"Domain of the God of Slaughter!"

Xiao Yi activated the Killing God Domain, and his aura instantly changed. The original Xiao Yi aura was peaceful, but after activating it, Xiao Yi's aura became violent, bloodthirsty, and indifferent.

Moreover, after activating the Killing God Domain, a circle of white light emanated from Xiao Yi's body, but it quickly turned colorless.

"Yan Yan, this is what I've gained in a year and a half. This is a domain I obtained through the City of Slaughter, called the Domain of the God of Slaughter."

"Its effect is that within the God of Slaughter Domain, the user can unleash 10% more power than usual. As soul power increases, this percentage will increase further, up to a maximum of 20%."

"At the same time, the strength of enemies within the area will be reduced by 10%, further enhancing the user's combat advantage."

"The Killing God Domain can absorb a person's own killing intent and grow through killing, with a maximum increase of 20%. The absorbed killing intent can be converted into the user's power, enhancing their aura and combat strength."

"Furthermore, I believe that the God of Slaughter Domain cannot be limited to this level of power. My domain is only in its most basic form and may evolve in the future."

Xiao Yi boasted to Dugu Yan.

Just then, Xiao Yi noticed that Dugu Yan was silent. He looked up and saw that Dugu Yan was intimidated by his aura and quickly withdrew her Killing God Domain.

"I'm sorry, Yan Yan. I was just demonstrating the domain I acquired to you. Did I scare you?"

It took Dugu Yan a while to recover, because when Xiao Yi released his aura, images of mountains of corpses and seas of blood appeared in her mind, and his whole body was shrouded in a cold killing intent that froze her body.

Then, Dugu Yan punched Xiao Yi in the eye in a fit of anger.

You scared me!

Xiao Yi didn't expect Dugu Yan to punch him, and soon one of his eyes turned into a panda eye.

"Ouch, that really hurts! Yan Yan, you hit too hard!" Xiao Yi said, covering his eyes.

"Hmph, who told you not to warn me beforehand? You scared me like this!" Dugu Yan said proudly with a victorious look on her face.

"It won't happen again next time," Xiao Yi said.

"You want a next time?"

There won't be a next time.

Xiao Yi then recounted his self-created soul skill and his comprehension of sword intent.

My self-created soul skill, the Six Harmonies Swimming Ruler, combines offense and defense, allowing for both offensive and defensive maneuvers. The ruler technique is divided into three realms: Crack Fire, Swimming Fire, and Six Harmonies Fire. When cultivating, one can find a lava lake, create waves, and traverse within it. If one can move freely within it without relying on soul power and without getting a drop of lava on one's hands, one can be considered to have entered the inner sanctum. If one is diligent enough, given time, one can reach mastery, achieving a perfect balance of offense and defense. At the same level, no one can get close to one's opponent. As for the place to cultivate, I have already chosen it: the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

The sword intent I comprehended is the sword intent of killing. The stronger my killing intent and the more people I kill, the stronger my sword intent becomes. Back then, I used the Xuanzhong Ruler as a sword and killed over a thousand people in one go. That's when I comprehended the rudimentary form of sword intent. Later, I killed too many people, which caused the killing energy to enter my brain. So I combined the rudimentary sword intent with the killing energy to form the sword intent of killing. If I hadn't comprehended the sword intent of killing, I might have gone insane from the killing energy entering my brain. Otherwise, I would even have difficulty standing here and talking to you now.

Dugu Yan was stunned after hearing this. Even a 90,000-year-old soul bone was useless in such a dangerous place. People without soul bones would not be able to survive there.

Thinking about this, Dugu Yan felt a little scared, and then she told Xiao Yi not to go to dangerous places again.

Then Xiao Yi started complaining: "That Killing City is not a place for normal people. All sorts of good people run to Killing City. If it weren't for this realm, I wouldn't even want to go."

"Only one out of ten people can survive in that Hell Killing Arena, and you also have to watch out for ambushes from outside. That Bloody Mary thing is made from human blood and it's poisonous. The air in the Killing City is also poisonous, which complements the Bloody Mary. Staying there for too long can drive people crazy."

"And then there's Hell Road. It's unbearably hot inside, and it also emits poisonous gas. The worst part is that the bottom of Hell Road is full of Bloody Marys, which makes people feel nauseous just looking at them. The poisonous gas inside also makes people feel hot and bothered. There are also three-headed bats and ten-headed snakes that are similar to my grandfather's martial soul. After killing the snakes, you have to fly to the exit. The exit is ridiculously high, two hundred meters above the ground. If I didn't have wings, I wouldn't be able to get out."

Xiao Yi, a ruthless and taciturn man in the City of Slaughter, complained bitterly. He had to guard against sneak attacks, and the air was so oppressive that it was suffocating. Originally, he had a few lives on his hands after coming to this world, which gave him some resistance. However, killing two or three thousand people in the City of Slaughter over a year made his thinking a little abnormal. Although he had comprehended the sword intent of killing, he couldn't stand it. What kind of good person would take pleasure in killing?

Dugu Yan listened quietly to Xiao Yi's story. At this moment, she felt that Xiao Yi had become somewhat vulnerable. After all, he had just come from such a place, and it was difficult for him to change so quickly.

Dugu Yan hugged Xiao Yi and patted his back gently, saying, "Alright, alright, everyone says those are damned fallen soul masters, and if you don't kill them, they'll kill you. It's okay, it's okay."

"Oh, right, speaking of that snake, it dropped its inner core. I want to give this to Grandpa. Last time, his martial soul evolution wasn't complete, and he was probably missing this." Xiao Yi said, taking out the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent.
