Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 242 King of Slaughter

"Sect Master, Tang Xiao and Tang San have already set off for the City of Slaughter!"

At the Nine Star Palace headquarters, with Xiao Yu's successful return from the Underworld, his strength had broken through to the Soul Douluo level, so there was no need to rely on his reputation anymore. The way people addressed him changed from Young Master to Sect Master.

"Looks like I should get going!"

Miao, who had been monitoring Tang San, sent the latest news to Xiao Yu, informing him that Tang San was preparing to depart for the City of Slaughter. Xiao Yu smiled coldly. In fact, he had been waiting for this moment ever since he returned from the Underworld.

Xiao Yu focused his mind and calmed his spirit, secretly circulating his mental energy. Since taking control of the entire Underworld, he no longer needed to release his martial soul to communicate fully in order to establish a connection with the Underworld.

With a "whoosh," in the blink of an eye, Xiao Yu appeared in the Judah Ring, the core of the Underworld.

Although Xiao Yu modified the attribute rules of the Underworld, greatly improving the environment here, the chilling aura rising from the deepest Judah Ring is still as sharp as a steel knife. Most of the Nine Star Palace Soul Masters who enter here to cultivate cultivate in the first few hells of the Underworld. Only two people are in the Judah Ring, namely Saga and Shaka, the strongest in the Nine Star Palace.

As early as when they arrived in the Douluo Star plane, Saga and Shaka's strength had already reached the limit of this plane. They were subjected to the crazy suppression of the plane's will, and no matter how much soul power they accumulated, they could not take that transcendent step.

The moment they entered the underworld, their strength, which had been suppressed by the plane for a long time, surged like a volcanic eruption, breaking through to the level 100 in an instant.

"metropolitan!"

Even while cultivating, the two powerful figures, who had already surpassed level 100, could sense all the changes around them and immediately exited their meditative state upon noticing Xiao Yu enter.

"Gentlemen, please come with me somewhere!"

The City of Slaughter is the place where the Asura God inherited his legacy. Regardless of whether the God Realm is still closely watching the Asura God, he can sense any changes in that place. Currently, the major powerhouses of the Nine Star Palace have just entered the Underworld. Apart from the strongest Saga and Shaka, the rest are still actively exploring the level 100 barrier, so it is not yet time to start a war with the God Realm.

Moreover, with various forces now vying for power on the continent, even if war were to break out with the God Realm, it should wait until a force that can unify the Douluo Continent is established.

Therefore, Xiao Yu brought along Saga and Shaka, two powerful figures, this time. With these two level 100 experts taking action, the connection between the God of Asura and the City of Slaughter could be severed before any action was taken. Even if the God of Asura sensed something was wrong, the God Realm would not allow him to openly enter the lower realm without evidence.

. . . . . . . . . .

The Killing City is a depraved place filled with sin and slaughter, where countless fallen people indulge their desires, and the air is thick with the stench of blood.

In the Hell Slaughter Arena, inside a sealed room, the King of Slaughter, Tang Chen, the Haotian Douluo who was famous throughout the Soul Master world a hundred years ago, sat on his throne, completely shrouded in crimson, savoring a Bloody Mary while watching the Fallen Ones fighting to the death for survival on the arena.

"Um?"

In a fleeting moment, the King of Slaughter suddenly raised his head, a look of horror flashing in his eyes. In that instant, he suddenly realized that his mental perception of the outside world had been forcibly cut off. The entrance to the far west and the exit of Hell Road were both sealed off. The entire Slaughter City was as if it had entered another space, with an additional barrier blocking perception.

"Who is it?"

The King of Slaughter spread his enormous blood-red wings, and his face, covered in blood-red runes, could not hide his fear. He knew he could not completely isolate the entire Slaughter City from the outside world; the newcomer was no ordinary person.

As soon as he finished speaking, three figures appeared in front of the King of Slaughter: Xiao Yu, Shaka, and Saga.

The person who forcibly pulled the City of Slaughter to another space, avoiding the perception of the God Realm above Douluo Star, was Saga. After Saga broke through level 100, his ultimate skill, the Other Dimension Space, had already advanced to a divine skill. At this moment, the City of Slaughter had drifted to a distant place tens of trillions of light-years away under the effect of Saga's Other Dimension Space.

"Hello, Lord of Slaughter!"

Xiao Yu spoke first, saying, "I am Xiao Yu from the Nine Star Palace!"

"Nine Star Palace?"

The King of Slaughter was taken aback upon hearing this. It wasn't that he was unaware of the Nine Star Palace; every year, many fallen beings would enter the Slaughter City, so it was not lacking in the latest intelligence on the major forces on the continent.

Moreover, the King of Slaughter is not bound by the rules of the City of Slaughter, and every four or five years he will secretly sneak into the continent to gather information.

After all, a place like the Slaughter City is bound to be infamous on the continent. Although the Spirit Hall had an agreement with them to treat the Slaughter City as a prison for fallen soul masters, as the saying goes, nothing lasts forever. It's possible that the Spirit Hall might be replaced by another force one day, and whether this new force will follow the previous rules is a big question mark.

To ensure the existence of the Killing City, the King of Slaughter would naturally keep a close eye on the major powers on the continent, lest someone suddenly come knocking on his door and he wouldn't even know who his opponent was.

Therefore, the King of Slaughter not only had heard of the Nine Star Palace, a force that suddenly rose to prominence more than a decade ago, but also knew about it in considerable detail.

"So it's Young Master Xiao who has graced us with his presence! I have no honor in greeting you!"

The King of Slaughter was somewhat polite. His true form was the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King, a type of ancient beast from the primordial era. His senses were extremely sharp, and he felt a deadly danger from the three people in front of him, whether it was Xiao Yu or the two behind him.

"The King of Slaughter is far too kind!"

Xiao Yu's face was also full of a warm smile, but his words were clearly not so warm: "I, Xiao, would not come here without a reason. I have only come here to take your life!"

"How dare you!"

The King of Slaughter's expression changed instantly, his scarlet eyes radiating a terrifying killing intent: "Young Master Xiao, I can sense that you and the two experts behind you are extraordinary, but I am not a pushover. If you go too far, don't blame me for fighting you to the death!"

"King of Slaughter, you overestimate yourself. Today, the only outcome will be that the fish dies, but the net remains intact!"

Xiao Yu waved his hand dismissively and said, "Moreover, in my personal opinion, today's opponent is not you, but the true owner of the body you are inhabiting, the once invincible peerless Douluo on Earth, Tang Chen!"
