Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Truth Doctor, Son-in-Law of the Spirit Hall

The King of Slaughter smiled as he glanced at Ladio.

Although he had always stayed in the Killing City, he had some knowledge of the outside world and knew about Ladio's reputation.

But he didn't believe Ladio could kill a god.

Even if I could, I wouldn't be a match for them outside.

But now that he has arrived in the City of Slaughter, he will be affected by the divine restrictions of the City of Slaughter.

Therefore, Latio could only be a mortal.

If I can subdue Radio and get his help, I might be able to launch a counterattack on Douluo Continent in the future.

He not only wants to be the king of the killing capital, but also the king of the whole world!

Seeing that Ladio was being threatened, Jixiang immediately mustered his courage and rebuked him, "You! You cannot be disrespectful to Master Ladio! If you dare to harm Master Ladio, no one outside will let you off!"

The King of Slaughter sneered, "So what?"

"If they dare to come to the City of Slaughter, one will die, and a thousand will die too! You're such a noisy son, now you'll be in my mouth!"

The King of Slaughter licked his lips, then suddenly turned and thrust his longsword at Ji Xiang.

Jixiang screamed, nearly fainting from fright, her face turning deathly pale.

However, the King of Slaughter's sword failed to break through and was blocked by a transparent shield.

The King of Slaughter was stunned. Under the Slaughter System, the opponent could still use soul skills.

Undeterred, he slashed horizontally at Latio again, "Whoosh...!"

Ladio simply extended two fingers and pinched the divine weapon.

"If this deal doesn't work out, I'll make another deal: you take us to the core of the Forbidden City, and I'll forgive you for attacking us."

Ladio calmly looked at the King of Slaughter.

The King of Slaughter gritted his teeth, struggling to pull back his longsword, but it remained firmly in Ladio's two fingers.

He was like an ant trying to shake a tree, unable to affect Ladio in the slightest.

This person wasn't affected by the divine restriction?!

The King of Slaughter stared at Radio in disbelief. He had used all his strength, but there was still no splash.

Ladio asked, "One last time..."

If the other party refuses to cooperate, then Ladio will have no choice but to resort to less civilized methods.

Jixiang stared blankly at the scene, then got up from the ground, looking extremely embarrassed.

He was actually worried about the safety of Master Latio. How could this guy possibly harm Master Latio?

"I promise you! I'll take you to see it right now!"

The King of Slaughter shouted hastily.

Ladio nodded slightly and released his longsword.

"Our time is limited, let's not cause any more trouble. None of us want to see that happen," Ladio added.

A threat, a blatant threat.

The King of Slaughter's expression shifted for a moment before he reluctantly nodded in agreement.

He wasn't as stubborn as Tang Chen, and he was no match for Ladio, so he couldn't possibly be his enemy anymore.

"Come with me!"

The King of Slaughter said in a low voice, and took the initiative to lead the two out the door.

Ladio nodded gently, patted Jixiang on the shoulder, and said, "Don't be nervous, you won't encounter any danger here."

Ji Xiang's face flushed crimson, and he nodded vigorously, saying, "I... I understand, Master Latio! I just..."

Ji Xiang couldn't continue speaking, as Ladio had already led him to catch up with the King of Slaughter.

……

In a cave in the Killing City.

It was dry, scorching hot, and made gurgling sounds from time to time.

Ladio and his two companions arrived at a huge cave, and the cave walls were covered with intricate patterns.

It is precisely these peculiar patterns that uphold the divine prohibition of the killing system.

All Soul Masters who enter must abide by the rules of suppression.

The King of Slaughter secretly glanced at Latios. Now that he's here, Latios is still unaffected.

No, it's that he can't see it at all, so does it actually have any impact?

As a strange beast that invaded Tang Chen's body, he was unruly and desperately wanted to devour Ladio.

But he was also worried that Latio would be completely unaffected, and if he launched an attack, Latio would be doomed.

"Ji Xiang, the effects of the divine restriction and the core formation are the same. Observe carefully, there is no need to study in detail. It is enough to have an understanding, it does not matter if you do not have an understanding."

"Yes, Master Latio!"

Jixiang immediately stepped forward and touched the red glowing patterns on the rock wall.

He even closed his eyes and walked at an extremely slow pace.

Ladio leaned against the rock wall to the side, closing his eyes to rest.

In fact, he had already researched a soul-sealing array with a similar effect, and came here to comprehend the divine information of the Asura God.

The divine positions of the five great god-kings must be the embodiment of the truth of this world.

It is the one closest to the truth among all the divine positions.

However, due to the rejection of him by the five great god-kings, he is now unable to contact any of the god-kings or god-kings.

So we can only resort to unconventional methods like this now.

The King of Slaughter stood at the door, looking at the two of them with a fierce glint in his eyes.

He hesitated, wondering whether he should take the risk and try it...

If I could possess Latio's wisdom, perhaps I could become a god myself?!

He now resides in Tang Chen's body, yet he will likely never become a god.

Because a soul beast is a soul beast...

Just then, a sound like a baby crying suddenly rang out outside.

"Quack quack..."

The sound was faint, but it kept getting closer.

The King of Slaughter's eyes lit up. His chance had come. Just because he didn't make a move didn't mean he was going to help Ladio, did it?

Let that beast that's about to come test Latio!

Before long, a snake's head emerged from the cave entrance. It had a pair of fiery red eyes, which, though not particularly large, exuded a sinister aura.

The dark red snake, enormous in size, quickly squeezed into the cave.

On the snake's head and back, there are nine protrusions, each resembling a bright red mushroom, with what appears to be blood flowing inside.

The snake's abdomen was particularly large, bulging out on the narrow path, and its body length was at least over ten meters.

It surveyed the three people inside the cave, flicking its tongue.

Upon seeing the King of Slaughter, it immediately withdrew half of its body, as it was no match for the King of Slaughter and did not wish to engage in conflict with him.

With a change of perspective, it abandoned the auspiciousness deep within the cave.

Finally, its gaze settled on Latio.

As a soul beast living in the City of Slaughter, it hadn't eaten a fresh human in a long time.

Seeing Ladio now makes my mouth water.

"Tick-tock...tick-tock..."

Its saliva burned small craters into the ground.

"..." The King of Slaughter was almost frantic. "Hurry up and make a move! Stop watching!"

The giant serpent remained alert for a moment, but saw that the most threatening King of Slaughter did not move.

The "food" it valued didn't move, and a resolute look flashed in its eyes.

It instantly opened its mouth and bit at Ladio.

"when……!!!"

A transparent shield blocked the giant snake.

Ladio opened his eyes and tapped them gently.

The enormous snake body was then unable to move.

Ladio frowned slightly and walked up to the giant serpent.

The giant snake remained motionless, its entire body still.

"You are not a soul beast of this world."

"Ladio said in a deep voice."

This is a strange beast with a very high level of life, but it has nothing to do with the Douluo Continent.

They must have come from another world.

If Tang San were here, he would recognize this strange beast as a primordial beast, the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, incredibly venomous. It is the supreme being among serpents.

Adults can grow to over ten meters long and possess the most potent fire venom among snakes. After ten thousand years of cultivation, they can form an inner core, which is hidden among the nine heads on their backs.

When the inner elixir emerges, the world loses its color.

If one obtains its inner elixir, all snakes will flee in terror.

Although Latio can now access the realm of the gods, he has no clue about other worlds.

Let alone going home.

But now this ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent has given him a glimmer of hope.

"Do you recognize this snake?"

Ladio turned to look at the King of Slaughter.

"!!!"

"I don't know him, and this place isn't under my jurisdiction. Don't get the wrong idea," the King of Slaughter hurriedly distanced himself from the situation.

Ladio nodded slightly, able to tell that the King of Slaughter was telling the truth.

He thought for a moment, then suddenly released his senses.

We need to investigate whether there is a second Ten-Headed Fiery Serpent in this entire Killing City.

The senses quickly filled the entire Killing City; however, apart from a swarm of blood bats, no second Ten-Headed Sun Serpent was found.

Ladio had already figured it out; the King of Slaughter was a human corpse possessed by a blood bat.

However, he didn't care about any of that; they were all lives, and only the fittest survived.

Just as humans do not affect the ecological balance of nature.

Ladio circled around to the back of the Ten-Headed Sun Serpent and looked at the nine bulges on it.

I can sense a strange power.

It appears to be some kind of crystallization of this strange beast.

Ladio raised his hand and a laboratory table appeared in front of him.

Then he drew a vial of blood from ten Fiery Sun Serpents and began testing them on the spot.

"..." The King of Slaughter looked at the motionless ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent and suddenly became very clear-headed.

Luckily, I didn't act impulsively, otherwise I would be the one frozen in place now, being studied by Latio!

"Just what kind of being is this? This power is far too strong! It must be at the god level, otherwise it wouldn't be unaffected! I absolutely cannot afford to be its enemy again!"

The King of Slaughter was pragmatic; since he couldn't defeat him, he could only appease him.

One can only hope that Ladio had no ulterior motives in killing him.

And so, Ladio began studying the Ten-Headed Sun Serpent.

Ji Xiang is comprehending the divine prohibitions.

Only the King of Carnage is idle, yet his heart is full of drama.

He was always thinking about what would happen if Ladio killed him to cover it up afterward; he was no match for Ladio.

I bet before he can even make a move, Latio will be able to easily kill him.

……

One hour later.

Jixiang opened his eyes, emerging from his reverie, and immediately saw the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent. He was so frightened that his face turned pale and he almost fainted.

Putting everything else aside, the appearance of the Ten-Headed Fiery Serpent is truly terrifying.

"This...this...Master Ladio, you must be careful! This giant serpent is terrifying!"

He couldn't even speak auspicious words properly anymore.

Ladio said calmly, "It's alright. Have you grasped the meaning?"

Jixiang suppressed his fear, smiled, nodded emphatically, and bowed deeply to Ladio.

"Thank you, Master Ladio. I have gained new insights. After returning, I might be able to complete the Soul-Sealing Array. However, I currently lack soul power, so the array's effectiveness..."

Ji Xiang scratched his head. The inscription array, although it didn't correspond to a soul master like a soul tool, was still a good thing.

However, advanced inscription arrays also require soul power to empower them. Now that Jixiang has cultivated the technique, the soul power he has generated is only equivalent to the core array of the Soul King level, and it is difficult to have an effect on those stronger than that.

The participants in the World's Greatest Martial Arts Tournament might all be top-tier fighters by the end.

His soul-sealing formation probably won't have any effect whatsoever.

"It's alright, you can learn it once you've mastered it. You can also think about how to make low-level magic arrays achieve a higher effect through mutual amplification when your strength is insufficient."

Ladio offered a suggestion.

Jixiang nodded emphatically, "I understand, Master Latio!"

The King of Slaughter finally understood: these two were plotting to seize the power of the gods!

Does that mean that the City of Slaughter can be replicated in other places?

To think even worse, since they can replicate this formation, could they possibly develop a way to break the divine restriction?

At that time, the City of Slaughter will have no chance to retaliate!

For a moment, even the King of Slaughter couldn't help but reveal his killing intent.

But upon seeing the still, ten-headed blazing serpent, he lost his courage.

That's just asking for death!

Just then, a large number of bats suddenly rushed in from outside, like a dark cloud, and simultaneously launched sound waves, but not towards the cave entrance, but towards the lava below!

Immediately afterwards, several columns of lava rose up from below, rushing towards the cave entrance like tornadoes.

Once the lava rushes in, the three of them will be trapped in this cave, even if they don't die.

"Damn it! What's going on with those bats? Why are they disobeying my orders?!" The King of Slaughter was frantic. Although he had transformed from a bat, he still considered himself the Blood Bat King.

As a result, the bats not only attacked him, but also became even stronger!

The intense heat arrived rapidly.

Ladio, however, remained calm and said indifferently, "That's enough, stop now..."

As he spoke, the lava columns outside actually stopped.

"What's going on?" The King of Slaughter stared blankly at Latios. He was quite certain that Latios hadn't made a move at all, yet he had actually stopped.

What exactly are those blood bats and lava?

While he and Jixiang were still in shock.

Suddenly, a stream of magma flowed downwards and formed a human figure.

The woman in the flames illuminated the entire cave even brighter.

"Master Ladio truly lives up to his reputation. I've come to the right place! Forget about those array runes, let's cooperate and kill the God of Asura together. The divine position is yours."

"Woman" said with a smile.

"!!!" Both the King of Slaughter and Jixiang stared at the "woman" in astonishment.

"Let me introduce myself, I am... the Rakshasa God."

The flames died down, revealing a woman with disheveled hair, who looked intently at Ladio and spoke.

"Not interested," Latio shook his head. (End of Chapter)
