Slaughter City.
The King of Slaughter descended from the sky, gazing down upon his empire of slaughter. The weight that had been pressing on his heart finally eased.
After the Poison Demon King's arrival, through a series of schemes, a Titled Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect had perished, and Bibi Dong had been severely wounded, losing her Divine Power.
For at least several years, Slaughter City would face no threats.
A flash of purple light appeared as Dugu Feng materialized in the sky.
"Lord King of Slaughter, was the battle between Tang Hao and Bibi Dong to your satisfaction?" Dugu Feng asked with a faint smile.
The King of Slaughter's crimson cloak billowed in the wind as he waved his hand with flair.
"With the Poison Demon King here, how could it not be satisfactory!"
He laughed heartily before calming down and speaking seriously, "I've witnessed the power of Twin Soul Spirits now. Tang San hasn't fully matured yet, but Bibi Dong has actually cultivated Divine Power. Her strength has reached the pinnacle of the continent - no one can kill her. I'm deeply concerned about the future!"
His real worry was that Bibi Dong might achieve godhood.
Most people didn't know about the existence of gods, considering them distant legends.
But he, the King of Slaughter, knew!
Bibi Dong's Divine Power came from the inheritance of the Rakshasa God, and she had passed multiple God Tests.
He harbored deep fear toward gods.
The King of Slaughter voiced his concerns to hear Dugu Feng's perspective.
Dugu Feng smiled: "Lord King of Slaughter, you worry too much. If the sky falls, those with greater strength will hold it up. We are forces hidden in the shadows. As long as we don't reveal our hostility, we're safe until Bibi Dong conquers the Clear Sky Sect. Besides, aren't we currently buying time against Bibi Dong?"
Had the King of Slaughter really been fooled into considering Bibi Dong a threat?
Bibi Dong had no intention of dealing with the King of Slaughter.
She only wanted to unify the continent, destroy the Spirit Hall, and deal with the Qian Family - why would she bother with Slaughter City?
However, through Dugu Feng's repeated emphasis, the King of Slaughter had become convinced that once Bibi Dong reached a certain level of power, she would destroy all forces.
Now he believed it completely.
Hearing Dugu Feng's words, the King of Slaughter understood his meaning - they still needed to keep the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall opposed to each other.
Whichever side was weaker, they would help, ideally until both sides were wounded and their strength depleted.
"Eh, Poison Demon King, you're not thinking that after the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall weaken each other, your Dugu Family will become the continent's strongest force, are you?"
The King of Slaughter seemed to have realized something.
"A soldier who doesn't want to become a general isn't a good soldier. Who wouldn't want to become the strongest?" Dugu Feng's tone remained calm, not concealing his ambition.
His frank admission made the King of Slaughter view him in a new light.
He no longer suspected Dugu Feng of having ulterior motives toward Slaughter City.
After all, whether considering Dugu Feng's personal strength or the Dugu Family's power, they were still far inferior to the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall.
"Lord King of Slaughter, when I was traversing the Road to Hell, I sensed the energy source of Slaughter City - the Blood Pool. This Blood Pool can assist my cultivation. May I borrow it for a while?"
Dugu Feng added.
The King of Slaughter didn't hesitate: "You're a Guest Minister of Slaughter City and have rendered great service this time. How could I refuse?"
"Follow me!"
With a whoosh of his cloak, the King of Slaughter descended.
Dugu Feng followed behind the King of Slaughter, arriving at the center of the city where the King resided.
They eventually reached the room where they had first met.
The room was dark and spacious.
Behind the King of Slaughter's chair was a wall of dark red crystal.
The King of Slaughter sat directly on the chair and waved his right hand.
The entire dark red wall turned blood-red—it was actually connected to the Blood Pool.
"Poison Demon King, in all of Slaughter City, only my room is connected to the Blood Pool. You may cultivate here!"
The energy in the Blood Pool was limitless, and the King of Slaughter did not believe Dugu Feng could absorb much of it.
Dugu Feng was overjoyed.
He cupped his hands toward the King of Slaughter and approached the edge of the Blood Pool.
The energy of the Blood Pool was scorching and potent.
Fine mist drifted above the pool, making it resemble boiling magma.
Dugu Feng sat down cross-legged and began guiding the mist from the Blood Pool into his body.
He closed his eyes, and images of mountains of corpses and seas of blood appeared in his mind.
The Blood Pool was formed from the blood contributed by the fallen.
This blood contained evil energy and mental toxins, which should not exist in normal blood.
The evil energy was a contaminating force left by the Rakshasa God to counter the Asura God, intended to taint the Killing Intent of Slaughter City and cause its cultivators to gradually sink into depravity.
The Blood Pool left by the Asura God was originally meant for his successor.
As Dugu Feng pondered, he carefully sensed the threads of blood entering his body.
His Overlord Venom and mental toxins stripped away the evil energy, leaving only pure blood energy to merge into his body.
As soon as this blood energy integrated, the Asura Power surged toward it.
His Asura Power, the strength of the Asura Domain, had already merged into his blood after leaving the Scorpion Pincer External Spirit Bone.
Now, sensing the pure blood in the Blood Pool, it reacted as if meeting a long-lost relative, brimming with excitement.
Dugu Feng instantly understood.
The Blood Pool left by the Asura God was for the cultivation of his successor.
Asura Power originates from bloodline, and the Blood Pool was meant to enhance the Asura Bloodline.
But since the Blood Pool was tainted by evil energy and mental toxins, no successor could draw energy from it.
It had even given rise to evil Spirit Beasts like the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King.
The Blood Pool had become a home for bats.
These bloodsuckers parasitized the space above the pool.
Yet Dugu Feng alone could extract pure blood from this Blood Pool.
Dugu Feng felt reassured.
After his Slaughter God Domain evolved into the Asura Domain and merged with his blood, he had a premonition that the Blood Pool in Slaughter City would be useful.
Now, it was finally confirmed.
"Since that's the case, I won't hold back. Absorbing pure blood to evolve my Asura Bloodline will surely allow my Asura Domain to cultivate rapidly!"
After a moment of contemplation, he spoke to the King of Slaughter behind him.
"It seems I'll be troubling you here for a while!"
The King of Slaughter nodded, indicating he had no objections.
"Poison Demon King, cultivate here in peace. I will inform you of any news from the outside."
The King of Slaughter even vacated the room, leaving it for Dugu Feng to cultivate.
He moved to the adjacent mansion.
There, the King of Slaughter's seductive concubine and his subordinate Xiong Ba were waiting.
After entering, the King of Slaughter directly commanded, "Arrange the remaining two Soul Duels for the Hell Messenger, then send her to the Road to Hell!"
He no longer regarded Hu Liena as significant—even if there were more God of Slaughter like her, what could they possibly do?
