Douluo Continent: Taking Tang San as a disciple, with a ten-thousand-fold return for teaching him.

In fact, Chen Luo knew from the beginning that possessing the Killing God Domain was equivalent to having the qualification for the Asura God Test, as it was explicitly mentioned in the Douluo Continent storyline.

But Chen Luo knew even better that Tang Chen, the King of Slaughter, was undergoing the Asura God Trial, and that he was already on his eighth trial, having also obtained the Asura Holy Sword.

If it weren't for the obstruction and influence of the Rakshasa God's divine will, and the parasitism of the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King, Tang Chen would probably have already completed the eighth trial and accepted the Asura God's inheritance.

Because Tang Chen had already taken the position of the Asura God Test, and according to the Douluo storyline, the Asura inheritance could only continue after Tang Chen's death, Chen Luo did not put too much thought into it.

Chen Luo's original plan was to try to qualify for the Asura inheritance if he had the opportunity in the future.

Unexpectedly, this qualification was delivered directly to him during his trip to the Killing City.

A level 98 Title Douluo, possessing the Killing God Domain, and still so young, with incredibly luxurious soul rings and soul bones, it's understandable that the Asura God noticed him.

Liu Erlong was genuinely happy for Chen Luo, her pretty face beaming: "Xiao Gang, you will definitely succeed!"

She paused, her curiosity piqued, and pressed on, "So what exactly is this Asura God Trial? How many tests are there? What stage are you at now?"

Upon hearing this question, Chen Luo's smile faltered slightly, replaced by a helpless, bitter smile.

He stopped; they had arrived in front of the two-story building.

He looked up at the familiar building before turning to Liu Erlong with a serious expression.

"The content of the divine test was immediately imprinted in my mind."

Chen Luo spoke slowly, his tone steady: "I am to undergo the Nine Trials of Asura, but without the preceding trials as a foundation, what it directly bestows upon me is... the seventh trial."

"The seventh exam?"

Liu Erlong was surprised again. Skipping all the previous tests and starting directly with the most difficult one? This divine test is truly...unique.

"Ah."

Chen Luo nodded and said the test content word by word: "The seventh test of Asura: defeat the King of Slaughter and seize... the Asura Holy Sword."

The joy on Liu Erlong's face froze instantly, replaced by horror.

Defeating the King of Slaughter?!

Liu Erlong's understanding of the King of Slaughter came from Chen Luo.

According to Chen Luo's introduction, the King of Slaughter had ruled the Slaughter City for countless years and possessed unfathomable strength, making him an extremely difficult opponent.

Liu Erlong instinctively gripped Chen Luo's arm, his eyes filled with worry: "Xiao Gang, are you sure you can handle this?"

Chen Luo grasped Liu Erlong's slightly cool hand in return, his gaze hardening, a flame of confidence burning brightly in his eyes.

"I'm confident."

Chen Luo's voice was calm and steady, carrying an undeniable determination: "The process will definitely be difficult, but it is the only way to godhood."

The inheritance of the Asura God is not to be missed. Now that I've been given this opportunity, no matter how difficult it may be, I will give it my all.

He looked up, his gaze seemingly piercing through the roof of the small building, looking at the eternally hanging purple moon, looking at the core of this world of slaughter.

"King of Slaughter... Let me have a go at you."

Chapter 312 Battle Against the King of Slaughter (1)

The eternal darkness of the killing city quietly faded away as it waited.

Chen Luo did not immediately challenge the King of Slaughter.

He stood by the window of the two-story building, gazing at the bizarre and wonderful world outside, and said to Liu Erlong beside him, "It's not the right time yet. Let's wait until Xiao San successfully passes through the Hell Road and obtains the Killing God Domain."

Liu Erlong nestled beside him and nodded upon hearing this, understanding his concerns: "Are you worried that if we start a war with the King of Slaughter now, it might affect Tang San's assessment?"

"Ah."

Chen Luo replied, "The opening of the Hell Road requires a stable energy environment. My battle with the King of Slaughter will be quite a spectacle. If it interferes with the operation of the Hell Road and causes any accidents to happen to Xiao San, it would be a loss."

He paused, then added in his mind: Moreover, according to the original plan, Xiao San should pass the level smoothly this time, and will not cause an accident like "Snowy Swan Kiss" that could destroy the entire Killing City.

Although... if that happens, the King of Slaughter's strength will be greatly diminished, which would indeed be advantageous to my upcoming challenges, but that is not what I want.

One of my purposes for this trip was to ensure that Tang San could safely obtain the God of Slaughter Domain. If my selfishness causes any complications, it would defeat the purpose.

Meanwhile, inside the dark temple.

The King of Slaughter, seated on his throne, has been unable to find peace of mind ever since the Asura Holy Sword manifested on its own.

That throbbing and resonance from the depths of his soul was like a key, unlocking the memories that had been sealed away by bloodshed and madness for so long.

Fragmented images churned uncontrollably in his mind.

Azure coastline, a picturesque island.

A middle-aged woman with an elegant demeanor and stunning beauty, her eyes filled with reluctance and worry, was silently watching him.

His tone was firm, with an unwavering resolve: "I will not return until I become a god!"

The scene then shifts to the majestic peaks shrouded in mist.

He clashed fiercely with a middle-aged man wielding a golden greatsword whose imposing presence was in no way inferior to his own.

Sword light flashed everywhere, and each collision caused the mountains to tremble; it was a duel between top experts.

The scene then shifts to the gloomy and oppressive entrance.

Alone, he strode resolutely into this land shrouded in darkness and slaughter—the City of Slaughter.

His back was resolute, as if he had embarked on a road of no return.

"Ugh—!"

These fragmented and unfamiliar images brought on a severe headache, as if countless needles were piercing his soul.

The King of Slaughter let out a suppressed growl, his aura becoming extremely unstable. Thick, blood-red mist erupted uncontrollably from his body, only to be pulled back in by some force.

This process repeated itself endlessly, his face contorted in pain, his body trembling slightly, as if he were waging a brutal battle against his own body.

After a while, the unusual fluctuations gradually subsided.

The King of Slaughter sat up straight again, all the pain and confusion on his face disappearing, and he regained his usual cold and numb majesty. However, the depths of his scarlet pupils seemed even deeper than before.

He sat quietly on the throne, staring blankly ahead, as if nothing had just happened.

the next day.

Outside the hellish killing field, crowds thronged, and the atmosphere was even more frenzied than usual.

Today marks the opening of a new Hell Road, a rare and momentous occasion for the people living in this land of despair.

Chen Luo and Liu Erlong stood in an inconspicuous corner, watching Tang San and Hu Liena walk together through the door leading to death and opportunity.

"It's starting," Chen Luo said softly.

Liu Erlong gripped his hand tightly, her eyes fixed on the entrance to the Hell Slaughter Arena.

Before long, a thunderous roar of excitement erupted from inside, with countless people chanting the name of "King of Slaughter" so loudly that it almost lifted the roof off.

But soon, the commotion abruptly stopped, plunging into an eerie silence.

Immediately afterwards—

"Buzz!"

A visible crimson ripple suddenly expanded from inside the hellish killing field.

As the ripples spread, countless agonizing screams filled with unbearable pain echoed through the air.

The pungent, nauseating stench of blood instantly filled the entire area, as if countless lives had been snatched away in an instant.

The crimson ripples contained a strange power; wherever they passed, those with weaker cultivation levels were instantly turned into pus and blood.

Just as the ripples were about to reach Chen Luo and Liu Erlong, Chen Luo's eyes narrowed, and a layer of light red aura spread out from him. It was the Killing God Domain, which easily isolated the blood-red ripples.

"What...what is this?"

Liu Erlong sensed the evil and destructive aura contained in the ripples, and her expression changed slightly. At the same time, she heard screams coming from all around her and couldn't help but worry about Tang San's safety.

"Don't worry, this is a necessary procedure to open the Hell Road."

Chen Luo calmly explained, having experienced it himself, that "a large number of lives and blood are needed as sacrifices to activate the passage to Hell. Xiao San and the others should have already entered the passage; we just need to cheer them on in our hearts."

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong felt slightly relieved and nodded: "Yes, Xiao San will definitely succeed!"

Just then, a chilling, oppressive aura descended like an invisible shackle, locking onto Chen Luo and Liu Erlong with pinpoint accuracy.

Liu Erlong felt his breath catch in his throat, as if he were being crushed by an invisible mountain.

But the next moment, Chen Luo took half a step forward, completely protecting her behind him, and that terrifying pressure instantly dissipated.

Immediately afterwards, a deep and authoritative voice resounded directly in their minds:

"God of Slaughter... Now that you're here, why not come inside and have a chat?"

He is the king of slaughter!

Liu Erlong's heart tightened, and he subconsciously looked at Chen Luo.

Chen Luo showed no surprise, simply squeezing her hand gently to reassure her. "Let's go, let's go see the ruler of the City of Slaughter."

After saying that, he took Liu Erlong's hand and, ignoring the chaos and bloodshed caused by the sacrifice, calmly stepped into the hellish killing field.

The scene inside was even more shocking.

The stands and the field were covered in fresh blood that had not yet dried, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

In the very center of the arena, a huge and strange pattern was formed from blood. The pattern was shaped like a blood-red bat with outstretched wings, radiating a rich and eerie energy fluctuation.

However, the pattern was gradually becoming blurry, and the energy on it was rapidly dissipating.

The figure of the King of Slaughter hovered silently above the soon-to-disappear bat pattern.

He was still wearing that dark red robe, surrounded by an unsettling aura of blood, as if he had become one with the blood that covered the ground.

His scarlet eyes were fixed on Chen Luo and Liu Erlong as they walked in.

"Welcome to the City of Slaughter, God of Slaughter."

The King of Slaughter's voice was devoid of emotion: "I must thank you for not disrupting the order here."

His gaze lingered on Chen Luo for a moment, with a hint of inquiry: "The aura on you... is very familiar. You were the one who triggered the resonance of the Holy Sword yesterday, weren't you?"

Chen Luo met his gaze calmly, but did not answer directly. Instead, he said indifferently, "It was just a coincidence."
