Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

Upon hearing this, Tianlin put down the bartender, who then cautiously walked to the counter, turned the mechanism, and opened the entrance to the City of Slaughter.
Tianlin jumped down from the entrance, skillfully traversed a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, arrived at the city gate, and then took out his 9527 token from his soul tool.
Upon seeing this, the two black-armored soldiers at the city gate immediately opened the gate. Knowing nothing, they assumed that Tianlin was just a newcomer to the Killing City.
Stepping into the city, the outer city remained largely unchanged from years past, still shrouded in darkness and devoid of any light. However, the population had dwindled considerably. In the past, Tianlin could still see many emaciated people struggling to survive, but now, only a few scattered figures could be seen.
Chapter 461 The Anomaly in the City of Slaughter
"Welcome to the City of Slaughter!"
As soon as Tianlin entered the City of Slaughter, he heard a familiar female voice. It was the woman in black veils who had always been responsible for guiding the newcomers to the City of Slaughter.
Upon learning that someone had entered, she naturally had to fulfill her duties.
When she saw Tianlin's appearance, she was suddenly shocked, "You are? The God of Slaughter, the Sword Dao Asura!"
"Long time no see, Miss Hell Messenger. Has the City of Slaughter changed a lot? Where have all the people from the outer city gone?" Tianlin asked with a smile.
“Naturally, it was because they couldn’t provide Bloody Mary and died without protection,” the woman in black veil replied nervously. “Lord Sword Dao Shura, I wonder why you have returned to the City of Slaughter today? This is really not a place for someone like you.”
"You seem afraid of my return?" Tianlin sensed something was amiss. Oslo had said that, apart from the last time when it was the Fallen Angel Title Douluo who received Yu Luomian, the other times it was this Hell Messenger. Perhaps she knew something too.
"No, it's just that you came here to train, sir. Now that you've passed through the Hell Road and obtained the Killing God Domain, this place should have no value to you anymore. You live in the sunlight, and the atmosphere here is a defilement to you." The woman in black veil tried her best to persuade Tianlin to leave.
With the Slaughter God Domain, Tianlin could use his soul skills normally even in the City of Slaughter, so she couldn't force him to use them.
Tianlin suddenly felt strange, because this woman was far too wary of him. Even if he was a god of death, she shouldn't be so afraid.
After all, when he left the City of Slaughter several years ago, he was only in his sixties. According to normal thinking, Tianlin is probably only in his seventies now.
So what if a Soul Saint at level 70+ can use Soul Skills? In the City of Slaughter, besides the King of Slaughter, there are several Soul Douluos and one Title Douluo in the Enforcement Team who can use Soul Skills.
If she really wanted to force me to leave, she could have just let them do it. Why did she have to be so humble? The only possibility is that she already knows about my becoming a Title Douluo.
The City of Slaughter is isolated from the world, and Tianlin is very curious about who told her this.
“The rules here allow the God of Slaughter to come and go as he pleases in the City of Slaughter. I miss the Hell Slaughter Arena. Can’t I come back for a look? Take me into the inner city.” After saying that, Tianlin walked directly towards the inner city.
The girl in black veil wanted to stop him, but Tianlin vanished from her sight in an instant with a few shifts in his appearance. The girl knew that with her strength, it was impossible for her to stop Tianlin.
"Damn it, you ungrateful swordsman! Since you're determined to seek your own death, I have no choice but to report this to the King of Slaughter and grant your wish!" The girl in black veils had a ferocious expression. She knew that once Tianlin went to the inner city and the Hell Slaughter Arena, the secret here would definitely be exposed.
Therefore, Tianlin must die.
After shaking off the girl in black veil, Tianlin quickly entered the inner city. The city looked similar to what it had been like back then, still a place of dazzling lights and unrestrained indulgence.
However, Tianlin also noticed that the population here had decreased significantly, and even the killings on the streets had decreased. Some people, upon seeing Tianlin, were eager to start a killing spree, but seemed to be wary of something and suppressed their desires, not daring to make a move.
"Is this still the City of Slaughter?" Tianlin wondered. A city where people dared not kill was completely at odds with the name "City of Slaughter."
“Xiao Tian, something’s not right. The atmosphere here is completely different from before. It’s not just that these people’s ways of doing things are different, but the place itself is completely different. Feel it carefully, is something missing?” Tianmeng Ice Silkworm reminded her.
Upon hearing this, Tianlin released his spiritual power to sense his surroundings. "It seems there's been no change. The power of the Asura Domain covering the entire city, as well as the divine power of the Rakshasa God, are still there. Wait, why is it only the divine power of the Rakshasa God? Where is the Asura God's power? His domain is clearly there, but I can't sense a trace of his divine power anymore."
This is not right. This is the place of inheritance created by the gods. As the inheritor of these gods, he should be able to come here in person without sensing even a trace of their presence.
Just like Qian Renxue in the Hall of Offerings and Ning Rongrong on Seagod Island, they were both able to sense the presence of the Angel God and the Seagod God's power.
Suddenly, the Asura God mark on Tianlin's forehead flashed, and the Asura God's voice came, "That's right, my successor. The reason I asked you to investigate this place is because I have discovered that I have completely lost control of the Killing City, and I can't even take back my own domain power."
"Lord Asura God, so you noticed something amiss here and sent me to investigate," Tianlin said.
“That’s right. This place was created by me, but before, my divine sense couldn’t even enter it. Tang Chen’s Asura God assessment had already failed completely, and I couldn’t communicate with him. Only now that you have come to the City of Slaughter in person can I observe the situation inside through the Asura Mark. I really didn’t expect that, even though it’s my territory, I have no divine power left.”
“Now, besides the divine power of that despicable Rakshasa, there is also a very evil aura in the entire Killing City. You must be careful. My true body is in the God Realm and can't help much, but I think with your current strength, you should be fine.” The Asura God was very confident in his successor. On this continent, there were not many people who could match Tianlin.
"Don't worry, I will find out what happened here," Tianlin promised.
He guessed that it must be related to the new Evil Sword Immortal, so whether it was for the Asura God Trial or the Holy Emperor Trial, he had to investigate the situation here thoroughly.
"Alright, I'm entrusting it to you, my successor!" The Asura mark gradually dimmed, and the Asura God withdrew his divine sense after entrusting the matter.
Tianlin walked into the depths of the inner city. His destination was the center and core of the Slaughter City: the Hell Slaughter Arena.
The other places have changed a lot, but here, the stench of blood is still strong, and roars can be heard from the killing field every now and then.
There's a ticket collector at the entrance, who is Bloody Mary.
Tianlin was too lazy to snatch anything. His figure flashed, and he entered the killing arena as swiftly as the wind. The people queuing at the entrance only felt a gust of wind and could not find Tianlin at all. The killing city was filled with gusts of cold wind, so they did not find anything strange.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!!!"
The roars from the Hell Slaughter Arena are exactly the same as they were back then; a killing spree must be underway right now.
Chapter 462 The Cheating War of Slaughter: The King of Slaughter Appears
Standing in the audience, Tianlin casually found a seat and sat down. He hadn't seen such a frenzied killing in a long time, and perhaps he could find something out from this battle of carnage.
That was his original thought, but the bloody battle scene he imagined never actually happened.
Nine out of ten people on the killing field were like useless trash, each one trembling with fear on their face.
Some of them were even pale, clearly due to excessive blood loss.
This battle was less a battle of killing and more a battle of slaughter, with the remaining one easily wiping out the other nine.
"Hehe, I wonder what today's blood tastes like. Let me have a taste!" The last person licked the greenish blood-stained blade, which was clearly poisoned. This must be his martial spirit, so the brain-dead scene of him poisoning himself did not happen.
"No, spare me, please spare me!" Several people knelt down, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Upon seeing this, Tianlin frowned. Something was wrong. Generally speaking, those who dare to go to the Hell Slaughter Arena are already mentally prepared to die. How could someone kneel down before the fight even begins?
And what good would their begging for mercy do? In the hellish killing field, there is only life and death, not victory or defeat.
As expected, the Blood Blade Soul Master used his blade to mercilessly slaughter everyone.
"Contestant No. 9182, congratulations on achieving a 92-game winning streak in the Hell Killing Arena!" announced the administrator of the Hell Killing Arena.
"How can someone like this achieve a 92-game winning streak? Has the City of Slaughter really fallen to this level?" Tianlin was speechless. The Blood Blade Soul Master was only decent, but his actual combat strength was not particularly outstanding.
Back then, after Tianlin achieved a 70-game winning streak in the Hell Slaughter Arena, even the weakest opponents he encountered were much stronger than him.
Tianlin immediately realized that someone was manipulating the Hell Slaughter Arena competition. No wonder there were so few people in the outer city. If his guess was correct, they had all been forced by the King of Slaughter to come and participate in the battle in the Hell Slaughter Arena.
These guys originally lived in the outer city to avoid the bloody war, and they usually survived in the outer city by contributing Bloody Marys.
Such a person is not only pitifully weak in combat, but also suffers from excessive blood loss due to years of not seeing the sun, resulting in extremely low spirits and energy. Once they enter the hellish killing field, wouldn't they be nothing more than cannon fodder?
The sole purpose of this operation is to allow someone to quickly achieve a hundred victories in the Killing Arena and obtain the title of Killing God, thus granting them free access to the Killing City.
In fact, you don't necessarily have to go through Hell Road. Back then, the King of Slaughter invited Tianlin and Hu Liena, who had been defeated a hundred times, to become guest elders of Slaughter City. They could freely enter and exit Slaughter City without having to go through the test of Hell Road.
Therefore, this hundred victories are the key to the City of Slaughter, and also the rule set by the God of Asura.
"It seems that although the power of the Asura God here has been completely neutralized, no one can still violate the rules set by the Asura God, probably because the Asura Domain still exists," Tianlin muttered to himself.
“You’re right. As long as the Asura Domain exists, no one can violate the rules of the Asura God. If you don’t win the Hundred Battles, all your Soul Rings will be forever restricted by the power of the Domain and will never be usable again.” A deep and resonant voice sounded behind Tian Lin.
Without turning around, Tianlin already knew who the newcomer was. "King of Slaughter, you've come to the Hell Slaughter Arena in person. Are you here to welcome me?"
The newcomer was none other than the King of Slaughter. After the girl in black veil reported Tian Lin's arrival to him, he rushed over in a hurry.
"Hehe, the Sword Dao Asura has returned to the City of Slaughter, so I will naturally treat him well." The King of Slaughter walked to Tianlin's side and said, "However, after the treatment, please leave immediately, as the City of Slaughter will no longer welcome you."
"Let me leave my territory, King of Slaughter, are you dreaming?" Tianlin retorted.
"Your territory?" The King of Slaughter roared in fury. "This is my city. Don't think that just because you're a god of slaughter who passed through Hell Road, you can control the City of Slaughter."
Tianlin turned to look at the King of Slaughter, revealing the Asura Sword mark on his forehead. "You should recognize this, right? I am the successor of the Asura God, the next Asura God. And this Slaughter City was originally created by the Asura God. What's wrong with me saying it's my territory?"
"On the contrary, it is you who are stirring up trouble on my territory. You even colluded with others to expel all the divine thoughts of the Asura God, trying to usurp my place? It's not that simple."
"So, you've come to reclaim the Slaughter City that rightfully belongs to you." The King of Slaughter stared at Tianlin with chilling eyes. He knew that things would not end well today.
Tianlin met his challenge head-on without fear, "Of course, I will no longer allow you to use the power here to do whatever you want. King of Slaughter, I know your intention in using such cheating methods to facilitate the birth of the Hundred-Victory God of Slaughter, just so that they can obtain the killing intent domain you bestowed, and then leave the City of Slaughter to work for others, is that right? But I would like to know what benefits the Evil Sword Immortal gave you, no, it should be what benefits he gave the Rakshasa God, that made you cooperate."
Whether it's the matter of the fallen angels or the killing god of the killing city going to the border to slaughter villages, it must be related to the Evil Sword Immortal. However, although the Evil Sword Immortal is very strong, he still needs to grow. The current strength of the Evil Sword Immortal must not have reached the god level, otherwise he would not need to hide in the shadows.
He alone could not expel the divine will of the Asura God. The only possibility was that he would join forces with another god in the City of Slaughter, namely the Rakshasa God.
Tang Chen, the King of Slaughter, did indeed participate in the Asura God Trial back then, but the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King who possessed Tang Chen was actually a hidden hand of the Rakshasa God. Now that the Asura God power in his body has completely disappeared, it is not unexpected for Tian Lin that the Bat King chose to work for the Rakshasa God.
Upon hearing this, the King of Slaughter was secretly alarmed. "Just how much does this Sword Dao Asura know? No one knows about the cooperation between Lord Evil Sword Immortal and Lord Rakshasa God except me, and I have not told anyone."
"You're quite impressive. You actually deduced the truth through reasoning. Not only is your strength considerable, but your wisdom is also remarkable. No wonder you're from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Ning Fengzhi is known as the wisest sect leader in the history of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and his descendants have completely inherited his mantle." The King of Slaughter said coldly, as his killing intent gradually rose. "However, since you know so much, I don't need to entertain you anymore, because you will definitely not leave the City of Slaughter today!"
Chapter 463 The Evil Sword Immortal and the Rakshasa God
Seeing the King of Slaughter's murderous intent, Tianlin knew that he intended to kill him today.
Now that Tianlin was highly skilled and daring, he continued without fear, "King of Slaughter, the person you usually have the most contact with is probably that fallen angel. But at least in the first few meetings, the Evil Sword Immortal should have sent someone of great importance to deal with you, and then sent subordinates to handle the subsequent matters. So, was it Qian Xunji or Bibi Dong?"
Tianlin was certain that the new Evil Sword Immortal was born from the evil thoughts of Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong. Therefore, he must possess the image of these two people, which would be beneficial. He could tell the King of Slaughter that the Spirit Hall was now under his control, and these two people could fully represent the Spirit Hall and cooperate with the City of Slaughter.
The Slaughter King, unaware of the truth, wouldn't know that these two were actually the Evil Sword Immortal in disguise. With his limited intelligence, he probably really thought they were now the Evil Sword Immortal's subordinates. The Slaughter King and the Rakshasa God had different goals, and only the power of the Spirit Hall could help the Slaughter King achieve his objectives.
Qian Xunji is a former pope with impeccable lineage, and the son of the Grand Elder of the Hall of Worship, a descendant of the Angelic Family. Although everyone outside knows he is dead, no one has actually seen his body, since it was all swallowed by Bibi Dong. So, as long as he tells the King of Slaughter that he faked his death, he can easily conceal it.
Bibi Dong is the current Pope and the successor of the Rakshasa God, making her an extremely suitable candidate to represent the Spirit Hall.
If it were Tianlin, he would use both identities, meeting the King of Slaughter in both of their appearances to create the image that the Spirit Hall was genuinely cooperating with the City of Slaughter.
"You even know this?" The King of Slaughter was completely stunned. He felt that he had no secrets left in front of Tianlin.
Tianlin smiled and said, "Let me guess. The Evil Sword Immortal sent Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong to discuss with you the condition of expanding the Killing City. With your greed as the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King, how could the current Killing City satisfy you? Moreover, in recent years, as the killing has intensified, the population of the Killing City has been decreasing. You stinky bat, you can hardly even drink your favorite Bloody Mary anymore, can you?"
"Then there is the Rakshasa God. This guy is different from other gods. He doesn't need faith to become stronger. Instead, he absorbs evil thoughts. Unfortunately, the seven greatest evil thoughts in the world are all controlled by the Seven Deadly Sins Gods. He can't get much of them at all. Moreover, the Seven Deadly Sins Gods are also first-level gods. He is no match for the seven of them. That's why he has no hope of breaking through to the God King level for so many years."
"Coincidentally, the Evil Sword Immortal can bypass the Seven Deadly Sins Gods. His ability is to directly absorb evil thoughts to become stronger. This is why the Rakshasa God agreed to cooperate with him. The Rakshasa God will help Bibi Dong become a god as soon as possible, and he will help the Rakshasa God achieve the God King level."
"You created those killing gods to slaughter villages in order to absorb evil thoughts. First, you used the power of the Rakshasa to draw out the evil thoughts in people's hearts, and then used the power of the Evil Sword Immortal to kill and devour them. The first massacre occurred five years ago, but you did it very crudely at that time, leaving behind a lot of evidence, which was brought back by Tang Hao. That's because it was just an experiment at the time. You didn't believe in the abilities of the Evil Sword Immortal at first. Only after it was confirmed did you begin to carry out a deeper cooperation, right?"
Tianlin sat in his seat and spoke eloquently. The more the King of Slaughter listened, the more shocked he became. It was as if Tianlin had witnessed it all with his own eyes. From the first time he met the Evil Sword Immortal to the process of him doing things for him now, he described it all in perfect detail.
"Sword Dao Asura, you know far too much." The King of Slaughter beckoned with a wave of his hand, "Show yourselves, all of you!"
Suddenly, more than a dozen figures rushed into the Hell Slaughter Arena. They were the Slaughter City Enforcement Team, each of whom possessed a killing intent domain bestowed by the King of Slaughter, allowing them to use soul skills within the Slaughter City.
Moreover, all of these dozen or so people possessed strength at the Soul Douluo level or above, and the two leaders were even Title Douluo.
One of them has a martial spirit called the Bloodthirsty Demon Spear. Tianlin has heard of this martial spirit before. It is one of the top martial spirits and is similar to Yang Wudi's Soul-Breaking Spear, except that one is righteous and the other is evil. He is probably the leader of the Slaughter City Law Enforcement Team.
The other one is another Fallen Angel Title Douluo. Osro once said that the previous one was captured alive by Golden Crocodile Douluo, and Tianlin is probably dead now. So this one must be a subordinate sent by Evil Sword Immortal to contact the King of Slaughter.
No wonder the woman in black veil knew about his breakthrough to Title Douluo; it turns out someone from the outside was constantly sending messages to him.
“King of Slaughter, the law enforcement team of the Slaughter City can only intervene when judging those who have not obtained the title of God of Slaughter and are trying to leave the Slaughter City. It is against the rules for you to let them deal with me now,” Tianlin laughed.
