Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

However, to enter this hellish killing field, you need to contribute a Bloody Mary. You can see that there are quite a few people queuing up to enter with cups full of fresh blood.

At this moment, a burly man with a ferocious face walked over. Without saying a word, he randomly picked someone from the crowd, punched him into a pulp, and snatched Bloody Mary. Clearly, this Bloody Mary, which cost an entrance fee, didn't have to be his own; even if he stole it, it would count.

Tianlin smiled and stepped forward. At this moment, the girl in black veil reminded him, "If you provoke them, the newbie protection period will not apply."

"It doesn't matter, I don't need this kind of thing anyway." Tianlin walked up to the big man and began to gather sword intent in his fingers.

In the City of Slaughter, words are unnecessary. If you see something you like, just kill the person and steal it. In this godforsaken place, if Tianlin doesn't learn to adapt, he definitely won't survive.

The burly man knew he had been targeted by Tianlin. He grinned ferociously, summoned his martial spirit Blood Tiger, and lunged at Tianlin.

Tianlin fearlessly thrust his sword towards the big man's mouth. The two were still half a meter apart and did not touch, but the big man's head had already been pierced by Tianlin.

Condensing energy into a sword, these useless fools who only know how to kill with brute force and have no skills cannot detect it at all.

Chapter 234 The First Battle of Hell's Killing Arena

Using the stolen Bloody Mary, Tianlin easily entered the Hell Slaughter Arena.

Upon entering, a strong stench of blood filled the air, and the two divine-level martial souls within Tianlin's body trembled simultaneously.

The Holy Spirit Pearl is filled with aversion; it is a treasure possessing the power of ultimate good and is filled with disgust for this place. The Demon Sword, on the other hand, is quite the opposite and appears very excited.

In fact, the Demon Sword was not a righteous divine weapon; it was just that Murong Ziying and Jing Tian used it for righteous purposes.

In fact, the Demon Sword can transform people's resentment into its own spiritual power. Hatred, fighting spirit, and resentment can all become nourishment for the Demon Sword. Therefore, this hellish place is actually a perfect fit for the Demon Sword.

"I want to register!" Tianlin walked to the counter and threw his ID card over.

The waitress was a woman with a blank expression; her face showed no emotion. Like a puppet, she took the card. "Okay, number 9527. There are already nine people registered before you. You are the tenth. You can play in the next match."

Tianlin nodded and walked to the audience seats to wait quietly. In the killing field, there were only three people and four corpses left.

The killing field was surrounded by lava, and it seemed that three of the ten people had already been reduced to ashes.

In the end, the victor was a cold-blooded man whose martial spirit was a meteor hammer. Even when his opponent begged for mercy, he still did not hesitate to knock his opponent down into the lava.

With a piercing scream, another life was lost.

In the hellish killing field, there is only life and death, no victory or defeat.

"Let's congratulate number 6778 on achieving twelve wins in the Hell Slaughter Arena!"

It turned out that this person was a master with twelve wins. The whole arena resounded with cheers for number six, seven, seven, and eight. Just as the woman in the black veil said, the strong can have everything here, including the worship of the weak.

Just then, ten more numbers were announced in the hall, including 9527.

"Lucky me, I got to play right away!" Tianlin chuckled and leaped directly from the audience seats into the killing field.

He was the last to go on stage, but he attracted everyone's attention, not because he looked powerful, but quite the opposite, because the murderous aura he exuded was ridiculously weak.

"We don't know how many people this boy has killed, but he must have been someone who didn't like killing before." The same thought flashed through everyone's minds.

The number of people killed does not necessarily mean a strong killing intent. After all, besides madmen who enjoy killing, those who come to the Slaughter City are also degenerates who are being hunted by the Spirit Hall or other forces outside and have nowhere else to turn.

They are merely trying to survive; no matter how many people they kill, they will never become true killing gods.

But it's obvious that Tianlin isn't even the latter. His aura is sunny, like someone who lives under the blue sky. Why would someone like that come here?

"You're not going to fight? Then I won't hold back! Shadow Sword!" In an instant, Tianlin summoned the demonic sword, and a shadow sword flew out, already severing the head of one of them.

That person was just a Soul Master of level 40-something. Even if he could use a Soul Ring, let alone not being able to, he would be as weak as an ant in front of Tian Lin. It would be as easy for Tian Lin to kill him as taking something out of a bag.

Moreover, he had already discovered that in this City of Slaughter, the only things that cannot be used are the soul skills born from soul rings, but soul bones, self-created soul skills, innate soul skills, and domains are completely unaffected.

Quite by chance, Tianlin possessed all of these things, and today's killing field was his playground.

"This man's martial soul has a talent soul skill, kill him first!" a burly man roared. The people of the Slaughter City are most afraid of encountering people with talent domains or talent soul skills.

When spirit rings cannot be used, once a fight breaks out, the opponent will have something that you don't have, and the fairness will be immediately affected.

The remaining eight people all rushed towards Tianlin and attacked him.

"Kill all living beings!" Tianlin was not afraid of their encirclement and attack. The Seven Kill Sword Technique also had a sword move to deal with this situation.

Tianlin first used his demonic sword to deflect the attacks of three weapon spirit masters, and then thrust his sword at a spirit king whose spirit was a thorn-shelled tortoise.

Everyone looked on with mockery. Instead of killing the weapon-type spirit masters with weaker defenses, they attacked the defensive beast-type spirit masters. They were indeed fools with no combat experience.

It's important to understand that they can't use the soul skills of their soul rings, but the physical attributes provided by their soul rings and martial souls are real. Just with the martial soul attached to them, the Spiked Turtle's defense is still incredibly excellent.

If Tianlin fails in his first attack, the enemy can easily seize the opportunity to turn the tables and kill him.

Tianlin smiled coldly. He might not have as much killing experience as the people here, but he certainly had plenty of combat experience. Would he make such a mistake?

Defense was completely useless against Tianlin. The demonic sword pierced through the shell of the thorn-shelled turtle without any resistance. Even without using soul skills, its characteristics remained unchanged: true damage that ignored defense.

Piercing through another person, Tianlin's momentum did not diminish. He turned the demonic sword horizontally, changing from a thrust to a sweep, cutting the thorn-armored turtle soul master in half at the same time, and separating the upper and lower body of a person who was preparing to attack from the side.

Then, the sword moved at will, and the demonic sword slashed open the throats of the four people as Tianlin's body rotated.

In just a brief exchange, six of the eight attackers were killed, leaving the entire audience stunned.

This person's killing intent wasn't strong, but his killing efficiency was just too high.

"Seven Kill Sword Technique!" the King of Slaughter murmured to himself as he watched the match from the shadows.

Although he was not Tang Chen, but a puppet parasitized by the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King, he ensured that he retained some of Tang Chen's memories.

Chen Jianjun was one of the strongest people below the three Limit Douluos back then. How could Tang Chen not recognize his ultimate technique?

"So this young man is the successor of Lord Chenjian." The King of Slaughter thought he had finally figured out Tianlin's identity.

However, his guess was not wrong. If he were to meet Chen Jianjun, Tianlin should call him Grandmaster. Even if he is a successor from a different generation, he is still a successor.

"Match over! Number 9527 wins!"

Tianlin's first massacre was quickly over. Apart from him, no one survived. The remaining two, though both Soul Emperors like him, were unable to use soul skills and were no match for him.

The woman in black was also somewhat surprised, not expecting that this young man, whose killing intent was so light, could fight so well on his first appearance in the Hell Slaughter Arena.

With a strong martial spirit and exquisite swordsmanship, even without a strong killing intent, one can still be invincible here.

Moreover, he only arrived today, and as the killings increase, that only weakness will surely be made up for soon.

"I'm afraid a huge storm is about to sweep through the Hell Slaughter Arena." After saying this, the girl in black veil walked straight out of the Hell Slaughter Arena. She understood that with Tianlin's strength, he didn't need the twelve-hour novice protection period at all.

Chapter 235 A Treasure Trove of Trials: The Collaboration of the Holy Spirit Orb and the Demon Sword

After the first bloody battle, Tianlin casually found an empty house in the inner city to live in. People were dying here every day, so there were plenty of empty houses.

However, when he first moved in, he was bothered quite a bit, because he looked too easy to bully, was young, didn't have much of a murderous aura, and was good-looking.

The female Fallen One wanted to take him back and raise him, while the male Fallen One wanted to turn him into the freshest Bloody Mary. It wasn't until Tianlin went on a killing spree and slaughtered nearly a hundred Soul Masters in one go that things finally calmed down.

This was the first time he had killed so many people in a single day. To be honest, it was a bit unpleasant, especially since the sudden surge in killing intent made it difficult for him to control himself.

The air here is highly poisonous, seemingly reacting to any murderous intent and driving people into utter madness. Only by drinking the equally poisonous Bloody Mary can one temporarily fight poison with poison.

But that's like drinking poison to quench thirst. The poison in the air is neutralized, but Bloody Mary's poison accumulates in her body. When it erupts, she'll probably die a more gruesome death than the people on the killing field today.

Tianlin finally understood Dugu Bo's concerns. His time here was measured in years, and over time, he feared that his body's resistance to poison would be broken. The bead that Dugu Bo gave him could completely isolate the deadly poison from his body, allowing him to breathe only filtered fresh air.

"Thanks, old monster, I won't let you down."

Tianlin sat cross-legged, trying to control the sudden surge of killing intent. Just then, the Holy Spirit Domain opened on its own, helping Tianlin to calm his mind.

"What a magical feeling. Under the Holy Spirit's domain, my killing intent, though not diminished in the slightest, was completely contained, as if it were my own arm." Tianlin suddenly became extremely calm.

"Such abundant power of ultimate goodness, Xiao Tian. This City of Slaughter is truly a treasure trove for your training. I discovered today that your demonic sword can absorb the fighting spirit, resentment, and hatred of the dead here, accelerating your growth. However, using this method to cultivate for a long time can easily pollute your mind and turn you into a ruthless demon."

"Coincidentally, you also possess a Holy Spirit Pearl. The power of ultimate good within it is practically the nemesis of this killing city. It can dispel the evil thoughts in your heart anytime, anywhere, allowing you to maintain your original intention. With the two combined, your strength will definitely experience a qualitative leap," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said excitedly.

“Yes, that’s right. Since the Holy Spirit Domain can open, then my Demon Suppression Domain can naturally do the same!” Tianlin laughed.

Subsequently, the Demon Suppression Domain completely covered the room where Tianlin was located. Tianlin summoned the Demon Sword again, and six spirit rings—one yellow, two purple, two black, and one red—appeared.

"Hehe, as expected of the innate domain generated after the Demon Sword became a god-level martial soul. Even the domain left behind by the Asura God was suppressed by me. Although the range is not large, at least I can use soul skills in the City of Slaughter." Tian Lin smiled with satisfaction. He had gained another trump card.

Of course, unless it's a life-or-death crisis, he will never easily reveal the secret of his ability to use soul skills. He plans to save this for when he's charging into Hell Road, otherwise he'll be ostracized by the entire City of Slaughter.

Two months passed quickly. By this time, Tianlin had basically adapted to life in the Slaughter City and had achieved a fourteen-game winning streak in the Hell Slaughter Arena. During this period, he killed people almost every day, but strangely enough, his killing intent remained the same and did not seem to have improved at all.

It's impossible not to improve. Just like in the original novel, after Tang San trained in the City of Slaughter, he went to the Moon Pavilion to refine his heart, eventually concealing his terrifying killing intent within himself until it erupted during battle.

With the help of the Holy Spirit Pearl's supreme power, he seemed to have no need for further steps. He could now control both his killing intent and his temperament at will.

In the past few days, an uninvited guest arrived in the City of Slaughter, at least for him: Hu Liena.

Tianlin thought about it, and realized that she had indeed arrived in the City of Slaughter around this time.

She had met Tianlin before, but unlike Tang San, whose appearance was drastically altered in the original story, Tianlin didn't even wear a mask, so she was full of hostility towards him.

In the original novel, Hu Liena didn't recognize Tang San after he changed his appearance, which is why she was attracted to his looks and strength and gradually fell in love with him.

Tianlin has always been someone she deeply hates. No matter how outstanding Tianlin's appearance and strength are, he is someone she must kill. This is what is called preconceived notions. In addition, Tianlin will not treat her like a warm man (a simp) and protect her. How could she fall in love with her enemy? She is probably thinking about how to kill Tianlin in the City of Slaughter.

It seems Tang San won't be able to enjoy the treatment of attracting beauties' hearts, but it doesn't matter. He's not a lecherous man, and he's not really interested in Hu Liena anyway. If she wants to kill him, he won't hold back, after all, this is the City of Slaughter.

Hu Liena's strength is indeed quite good. Her martial soul is a fox spirit, which is not good at physical attacks, so she always carries a short sword for self-defense.

Bibi Dong probably also taught her a set of self-created soul skills. When used in conjunction with this short sword, every move was extremely dangerous and aimed at vital points. This allowed her to quickly achieve several consecutive victories, earning her the nickname "Messenger of Hell".

Today is Tianlin's fifteenth match, and his opponents today are basically all Soul Saint level powerhouses. Even if they cannot use Soul Skills, their combat power is no worse than that of Soul Kings who can use Soul Skills.

Tianlin was the most inconspicuous among them. Despite his weak killing intent, he still received the most attention, all because they were wary of his swordsmanship.

The sword techniques of the Seven Kill Sword lineage are truly perfect for this city of slaughter.

To deal with Tianlin first, nine people rushed in from nine different directions. Tianlin showed no panic. He stepped on the Drunken Immortal Gazing at the Moon Step, his figure flashing like an illusion. He had already flashed behind a Soul Saint and struck out with his palm, using his soul power to shatter the opponent's heart meridian.

If he could use his Soul Skills, even nine Soul Saints would pose a significant threat to Tianlin. Unfortunately, the cultivation system in the Douluo Continent world is far too extreme.

Except for a few, most people rely on their soul skills to make a living. Once their soul skills are restricted, their strength drops by more than 80%.

While soul power is important, technique is equally essential.

Xu Changqing once said that the goal of sword practice is to strike the opponent. The sword that strikes the opponent is the real thing, but before reaching that real thing, one must go through countless illusions.

These "empty" techniques are actually skills; the more refined the skills, the shorter the time required for these techniques.

For the Soul Masters of the City of Slaughter, the Seven Kill Sword Technique is practically a game-changer.

Chapter 236 Fame Spreads Throughout the Killing Capital

Facing several Soul Saints alone, Tianlin remained at ease, even killing three more within minutes.

However, he did not realize that he had fallen into a trap. In order to kill his opponent, he was unknowingly lured to the edge of the arena. Further ahead was lava.
