Chapter 251: The Mad Tang Chen
After learning the location of the City of Slaughter, Bo Saixi quickly arrived at its entrance a deep, abyss like hole. The place where Tang San and the others had entered was just an inconspicuous flaw in the structure, making their entry technically against the rules.
Without hesitation, Bo Saixi charged directly into the entrance of the City of Slaughter.
The moment she entered, it felt as if she were falling into an endless abyss. The world spun chaotically around her, and despite her immense strength, she still felt a wave of dizziness.
At the same time, an invisible force tried to envelop her, attempting to seal all her soul skills.
Fortunately, the small Seagod Trident she carried with her emitted a faint golden glow at just the right moment, resisting the suppression of this mysterious power.
The two forces canceled each other out, leaving her unaffected.
Normally, no one in the City of Slaughter could use soul skills only those who had survived Hell Road and obtained the Slaughter God Domain were able to do so. If Neptune hadn't given her the Seagod Trident for protection before she left, Bo Saixi would have been in grave danger.
After all, she was about to face an opponent of equal or even slightly superior strength. If her soul skills were sealed while her opponent could freely use theirs, even suppressing her with their domain, how could she possibly win?
The entire City of Slaughter functioned as an enormous Slaughter God Domain, suppressing all soul abilities within it. Only those who possessed the same domain could resist this effect.
But now, with the Seagod Trident imbued with Neptune's divine power shielding her, Bo Saixi was unaffected by the suppression and could still use her soul skills freely.
Although the City of Slaughter was a legacy site left by the God of Asura, it was ultimately just a residual domain rather than the god himself. Therefore, Neptune's power was enough to protect Bo Saixi from its influence.
A cold voice suddenly rang in Bo Saixi's ears:
"Welcome to the City of Slaughter. This is the capital of Hell, a world of endless carnage. Here, you may obtain anything you desire the price is your life."
As the voice faded, Bo Saixi finally felt solid ground beneath her feet. She looked up and saw a black city in the distance. Its towering, thick black walls stretched far and wide, and above it hung a massive purple moon.
The moon was unsettlingly low, no more than five hundred meters above the ground. Beyond that, the sky was a pitch black void, as though perpetual night had engulfed this place.
This world felt completely detached from the outside.
It had been broad daylight when she entered, yet now, it was already night. And that eerie purple moon seemed to whisper that this place was no longer part of the Douluo Continent.
In truth, it wasn't as mystical as it seemed it was merely a created subspace attached to the Douluo Continent, not a fully independent world. If the God of Asura could casually create entire worlds, he would have already reached the level of a Creator God.
At that moment, inside an ancient castle…
In a dimly lit room, a figure clad in blood red armor sat upon a throne. He had a pair of black wings protruding from his back and a set of crimson, curved horns atop his head he was the King of Slaughter.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, his expression changed drastically, and he abruptly stood from his throne.
"This presence… Who dares enter the City of Slaughter?"
He could feel an immensely powerful aura invading his domain an aura no weaker than his own. How could he remain calm when such a formidable being had stepped into his territory?
On the other side…
Bo Saixi stood outside the ominous city, making no move to enter. Instead, she silently released her own aura.
If the King of Slaughter was truly Tang Chen, then he would definitely come to see her.
Sure enough, a blood red streak of light shot toward her from afar.
"Boom!"
It crashed heavily into the ground.
A fearsome and menacing figure emerged before Bo Saixi.
Despite the drastic change in his aura, there was no doubt the man before her was the one she had longed for over the past several decades: Tang Chen.
Bo Saixi's heart surged with emotion. Just as she was about to speak, the King of Slaughter interrupted her.
"Unidentified powerhouse! The City of Slaughter does not welcome you! Leave at once!"
Although the rules of the city dictated that one could only leave after winning a hundred battles and passing through Hell Road, as its ruler, the King of Slaughter had the authority to make exceptions if necessary.
But that was only if the person actually wanted to leave.
"You… don't recognize me?"
Bo Saixi's heart sank at the unfamiliarity in his gaze. Her once eager expression dimmed slightly, and a feeling she couldn't quite describe welled up within her.
"You are…" The King of Slaughter frowned as he scrutinized the vibrant young woman before him.
Just as he was about to speak, something unexpected happened.
The original consciousness of this body the one that had been suppressed suddenly surged up in a violent struggle. In that instant, it managed to regain temporary control.
"It's you! Bo Saixi!"
The King of Slaughter or rather, Tang Chen stared at the youthful woman before him, an overwhelming wave of emotion surging within him.
He instinctively wanted to rush toward her, but then, something felt off. The aura of the woman before him was not the Bo Saixi he remembered.
More importantly, she was far too young!
But her appearance was unmistakable…
Could it be that Bo Saixi had married someone else? Was this her descendant? Had he returned too late, after all?
Years of exposure to the negative aura of the City of Slaughter had tainted Tang Chen's soul, making his thoughts more extreme and filled with darkness.
Thus, the moment he convinced himself that he had suffered for years, only to return and find that the woman he had longed for had married another…
A terrifying storm of emotions erupted within him.
Rage! Jealousy! Resentment for Bo Saixi not waiting for him!
All these emotions flooded his mind at once.
"How dare you betray me, you wretch!!!"
With his mind consumed by madness, Tang Chen's face twisted in fury. Blood red light erupted around him as he flashed toward Bo Saixi, his hands morphing into razor sharp, blood colored claws aimed directly at her vital points.
Simultaneously, the blood red aura around him surged outward this was the domain of the King of Slaughter. Anyone caught within it would be unable to use their soul skills.
Bo Saixi frowned at his frenzied state. In the next moment, a brilliant blue light exploded from her body
She unleashed her own domain, the Seagod Domain bestowed upon her by Neptune!
Against a domain, only another domain could stand!
