The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 231 The City of Slaughter and the Changes on the Continent Over Two Years

The dark gates of the Killing City gave off an extremely oppressive feeling. A bright red plaque hung high above the massive gate, bearing the four characters "Killing City," exuding a strong sense of killing intent.

Passing through the city gate, you'll see two rows of black-armored warriors standing quietly there.

Li Xun ignored them and walked straight up to a woman wearing a mask.

"Welcome to the City of Slaughter, I am your guide." The woman smiled lightly at Li Xun through the black veil and gestured for him to enter. "You can ask me any questions you may have."

Li Xun nodded, casually glancing at the city and the withered, decadent crowd: "Thank you, please take me directly to the Killing Arena."

The woman was taken aback, looking at Li Xun with some disbelief: "Aren't you in a bit of a rush? Shouldn't you let yourself get used to the environment here a little longer?"

"There's nothing to get used to, let's go."

The woman remembered the King of Slaughter's instructions and nodded helplessly.

As the two traveled, many people noticed Li Xun along the way, but because of the messenger of the King of Slaughter beside him, they could only suppress their greed and killing intent.

The Killing City is divided into an inner city and an outer city. Killing is not allowed in the outer city, but there are no rules in the inner city.

Despicable acts, killings, backstabbing—these scenes unfolded right before Li Xun's eyes in the street, yet he felt no aversion to them.

They're nothing but beasts, worse than pigs and dogs. The fact that the Killing Arena can gather all of them here is somewhat of a contribution.

Led by the woman in black veil, the journey was peaceful but not entirely smooth. After Li Xun killed several people, the two arrived at a place resembling the Colosseum in ancient Rome.

However, it is not a tall building, but rather a funnel-shaped, downward-pointing cone. Its area is only slightly smaller than the Great Soul Arena of Heaven Dou City.

The woman in black veil looked at Li Xun, who showed no fear, opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, but still felt it necessary to remind him: "If you want to participate in the next competition, you will need to register with your identity token in a while. But note that you cannot make a move while waiting here, and each group needs to have ten people to start. No matter what method you use, as long as you can come out alive in the end, you will win."

Li Xun nodded to indicate that he understood, and then walked towards the registration area for the competition.

He didn't want to stay in this place for even a day longer. Not only was there an unpleasant smell everywhere, but there were also toxins floating in the air. Fortunately, he was immune to all poisons and had Wood Release to constantly repair his body, so he wasn't affected. Otherwise, he would have had to prepare some antidote pills.

Li Xun's early matches went smoothly. The veterans of Killing City were very willing to help the newcomers, and as soon as they saw him at the registration point, they rushed over to register.

But gradually, fewer and fewer people dared to sign up, and many secretly cursed the King of Slaughter. How could they possibly fight someone whose soul skill wasn't sealed? Wasn't anyone going to intervene?

But their curses did not elicit any mercy from the King of Slaughter.

Three days, five days, a week, three months, a year.

Time passed by little by little, and Li Xun's temperament changed in these killings.

His temperament was not like that of others, which was violent and bloodthirsty, but rather a kind of cold-bloodedness that regarded people as worthless and life as insignificant as ants.

Li Xun was unaware of the changes in his own body, and even if he did, he probably wouldn't care. At this moment, he stood on the killing field, looking at the nine people gathered together, his face showing no emotion whatsoever.

With just a slight movement of his foot, rows of sharp wooden spears instantly emerged from the ground, piercing through those who couldn't dodge in time. Even if someone managed to dodge, they would be entangled by the vines that followed and forcibly impaled on the spears.

What Soul Emperor or Soul Saint? Their mere physical strength is nothing more than a moving lump of fat in the face of vines and spears.

Seeing the nine people's aura dissipate, Li Xun felt nothing and turned to walk out of the arena.

In that year, he had already won more than seventy games. It wasn't that he wasn't killing fast enough, but rather that it was difficult to gather enough players.

His reputation is now known to everyone in Slaughter City. It's true that everyone who comes to Slaughter City is a desperate man, but no one wants to die as soon as they step into the arena.

At this point, as long as Li Xun stands on the stage, it's uncertain whether the remaining nine people can be gathered in the next twenty-four hours, and those who have already stepped onto the stage might even run away.

After all, no one said that registering meant you had to finish the competition, right?

Later, Li Xun changed his approach and specifically sought out competitions with similar gatherings to participate in, but this also stirred up a wave of intrigue and backstabbing in the Killing City.

Aside from those who genuinely lacked the qualifications to remain in the inner city and wanted to try their luck since Li Xun had no chance of participating in the killing field, almost everyone else remained silent.

Two years.

No one knows Li Xun's daily life in the Killing City, but the outside world has undergone earth-shattering changes.

The Heavenly Dou Empire completed true unification in two years, taking back ownership of all three major kingdoms within its territory and establishing a truly unified regime.

On this day, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe also ascended the throne and became emperor. After all, this is a world where might makes right, and his actions were widely praised by the outside world.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Meanwhile, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was at its zenith. As the current guardian sect of the Heaven Dou Empire, it held many important positions throughout the empire. It frequently implemented welfare policies to benefit the people, such as subsidies for medicine and food. Joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School quickly became the top choice for the citizens of Heaven Dou.

This resulted in the fact that although the empire did not restrict the development of the Spirit Hall within its territory, it was not as popular as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School among the people of Tiandou.

Qian Renxue, residing in the palace, knew nothing of this, but even if she did, she probably wouldn't say anything, simply because she was once again disappointed in Bibi Dong.

A year and a half ago, the Haotian Sect suddenly appeared in the world, but after their appearance, they did not show any amazing power, such as reclaiming the title of the number one sect on the continent. Instead, they moved their sect.

This move attracted widespread attention from all sectors of the mainland, and the world learned for the first time that the Haotian Sect had been hiding near the capital of the Tiandou Empire.

Qian Renxue was furious when she learned of this. Although she knew that Haotian Sect might not be related to her father's death, she still sent troops to stop them. Qibao Liuli Sect also responded.

However, the Haotian Sect was too powerful, with two twin stars, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, plus five titled elders. Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect did not want to suffer casualties for nothing.

Qian Renxue naturally understood this principle, so she sent the message back to the Spirit Hall, but the message she sent out seemed to sink to the bottom of the sea without making a ripple.

Once again, she threw the letter sent by Bibi Dong into the brazier. It contained something about changing the country's name and turning the Heavenly Dou into the Spirit Hall. She knew that if she did that now, she would lose power again.

Having swept away the five kingdoms within the Heaven Dou territory who held power in one place, Qian Renxue already knew her next mission: "The glory of angels does not necessarily have to be spread through the Spirit Hall."

Qian Renxue gazed at the exquisite angel statue before her desk. This object would become the faith of the people of Tiandou, and she would act as God in the human world, in place of the deity.

In the past two years, Bibi Dong has been entering the secret chamber more and more frequently, and the Spirit Hall's actions have become increasingly large.

Everyone on the mainland could feel the calm before the storm.
