Chapter 100: Asura Nine Trials, Slaughter God Domain, Death-Eating Asura Demon Scythe

Unlike the outside world's one day and one month, in the City of Slaughter hidden deep underground, only a purple moon hangs at an altitude of five hundred meters; it is the domain core left behind by the gods, and also the source where the City of Slaughter can imprison soul rings.

But now, the appearance of this crimson pupil overturns the concept that the City of Slaughter has only one moon.

Because now, a new sun has appeared!

The scarlet pupil emits a strange color, and the entire Hell Road is shrouded in bloody light.

The Blood-colored Nine-headed Bat Emperor witnesses the miracle before it; its brain crashes on the spot, and panic sweeps through its heart.

Its mouth is dry, it feels only a chill approaching, and it speaks fearfully, "The heavens are about to change."

The White-clad Sword Emperor did not die; this is the commotion she caused. It detected a terrifying figure with four pairs of black wings, like a god and like a demon.

If she truly becomes a god, perhaps the Douluo Continent will witness a true god war; none of those who participated in the scheme can escape, including this soul beast that conveys the gods' orders.

But the Shadow Doppelganger is not a sentient life; as part of the trial, she feels no fear, still wanting to fight. Her left wrist emits a warm, watery blue light; the Blue Silver Enhancement activates, and the Shadow Doppelganger's aura instantly doubles and surges.

Yet merely gazing at the Aberrant Angel Origin renders the Shadow Doppelganger immobile.

"Crack—! Crack—!"

The sound of bones shattering continually echoes, chilling to the bone; the Shadow Doppelganger is like a wounded bird trapped in a spiderweb, its spread wings snapped inch by inch by an invisible force, feathers flying.

Its body also constantly twists and deforms, large amounts of black fluid substance flowing out from within,

The whole scene appears cruel yet tragically beautiful.

The silver-haired figure enjoys listening to the sound of shattering bones, its ruby-like brilliant eyes fixed on the Shadow Doppelganger's broken wings, a gentle smile like a spring breeze spreading across its lips.

She whispers softly.

"Are you peeking at me, Blood-colored Nine-headed Bat Emperor?"

The silver-haired figure's tone is affectionate, its casual words like everyday chatter, warm and gentle, yet her presence bears a demonic charm that inspires fearful awe.

The Blood-colored Nine-headed Bat Emperor startles, quickly retracts its mental power, folds its wings and shrinks its body in the seal, pretending not to have heard; when faced with difficulty it first takes a nap, it is truly afraid now—this is all the Rakshasa God's arrangement, it has nothing to do with it, don't blame it.

"Hmph, cowardly stinking bat."

The silver-haired figure touches her smooth cheek again, leaving the final words.

"Get stronger quickly! Then come before me, another me, hehehe."

The scarlet vertical pupil in the sky slowly fades, the splendid silver hair turns back to gold, the white holy wings unfold again, and Qian Renxue's consciousness is restored.

She blankly looks upward; there is nothing in the sky, if not for the white feathers covering the blood pool reminding her, she would truly think what just happened was a dream, and indeed she almost believed she was dreaming.

Martial Soul Origin? It is truly a powerful ability; she must master this power.

It seems her eight-winged angel martial soul cultivated over many years was not in vain; the higher the soul ring's year, the better it matches, the stronger the development of the martial soul, and the more terrifying the power of the Martial Soul Origin.

Another self appears quite formidable, but that is only because she relies on her already partially developed Angel Origin Power; her own Spider Origin Power has hardly been developed, after all, the Spider Martial Soul has no soul rings attached, and the Martial Soul Origin has not undergone transformation.

Actually, it's just like her when she first started learning combat—only knowing to overwhelm with numbers; if neither side uses Martial Soul Origin as a trump card, that guy would definitely not be her opponent.

Looking at her movements, stance, and mid-air balance adjustment, there is nothing; she is just showing off, seemingly lacking any real combat experience.

Indeed, after all, she is merely a newborn consciousness, having never experienced true combat; her fighting style should be imitating Qian Renxue's, today seeming to be her first battle, opening with a big move right away.

However, her understanding of Martial Soul Origin is quite thorough—is it because she was born from the martial soul?

When Qian Renxue was overwhelmed by another self, she did not fall into sleep; instead, her consciousness arrived at a strange palace.

Here stand two doors of different colors.

One is a golden gate carved with a fully opened eight-winged angel; the other is a black gate carved with red-and-purple spider patterns, completely closed.

Qian Renxue immediately guesses that hidden behind the black door is the martial soul of another self.

She curiously pushes it, wanting to enter and see what the Spider Martial Soul looks like—a martial soul that could rival her Eight-winged Angel; Qian Renxue truly wants to study it.

But unfortunately, among the two gates, that black gate has been locked by someone, and she cannot open it at all.

Meanwhile, the scene Qian Renxue sees outside her golden gate is exactly the reality; stepping out of the gate lets her return to the real world.

Then she watches helplessly as another self uses the Martial Soul Origin of the Eight-winged Angel, dyeing her luxurious golden gate black.

There is something; Qian Renxue immediately widens her eyes, not daring to blink, wanting to quickly steal a glimpse, but then she realizes she completely fails to understand it.

How come black flames sprout on the wings and her Martial Soul Origin gets activated? How exactly did the other self do that? Alas, quick success cannot be learned; it seems she must use the method Bibi Dong taught her, slowly gaining insight herself.

Qian Renxue, before the dark-red platform, sees the blood-colored pillar with blood-colored patterns that the Blood-colored Nine-headed Bat Emperor had her notice.

It stands right in the center of the Blood Pool, quite conspicuous.

Qian Renxue glances at it, then looks up at the cave mouth two hundred meters above the platform, emitting white light; that is the endpoint of her journey this time,

Afterwards, Qian Renxue shakes the wings behind her and flies toward the upper cave mouth.

"Come on, that idiot Slaughter King surely doesn't really think she'll be overflowing with curiosity to go mess around for no gain? He gives her no benefit, why would he make her do things? She wouldn't go, truly treating her like a yellow-haired fool?" "Two years' time."

"\"Hell Road, I've broken through! \""

"\"Never again, City of Slaughter. \""

With the sound of wings flapping, Qian Renxue dives headfirst into that white light.

Everything around seems to be changing; the instant Qian Renxue rushes into the white light curtain, she immediately feels her body as if entering a special world.

The surroundings are a snowy white void; Qian Renxue's released Eight-winged Angel Martial Soul is restricted by a special force, forced entirely back into her body under pressure, and her slaughter qi is also compelled to retreat inward.

In this white expanse, she cannot exert any strength at all; the only sensation is cold.

It seems countless coldness converges upon her while countless coldness releases from within her; in this white void, Qian Renxue endures the invasion of chill—this is pure slaughter qi condensing.

This is the Slaughter God Domain taking shape.

Suddenly, the Angel Mark on Qian Renxue's forehead emerges, but now it is no longer a complete Angel Mark; the left half is replaced by a blood-colored sword shape, the Blood Sword Demon Mark is also incomplete, the blood sword splits in two down the middle, and the right position is taken by three angel wings.

The Blood Sword Demon Mark suddenly bursts forth with brilliant light; that blood-red radiance, like threads, spreads from Qian Renxue's forehead downward, flowing through her whole body, wherever it passes, her body trembles.

"Hiss... it's so cold, dozens of times colder than when she first obtained the Slaughter God Domain; her body seems to be remodeled to better suit a second martial soul."

A sheet of blood-colored light before Qian Renxue shatters, turning into specks of blood light and the radiance flowing down from the Blood Sword Demon Mark, both rushing into her body simultaneously.

A cold, solemn voice echoes in her mind: "Having forcefully passed Hell Road, the trial is passed; facing danger without losing composure, facing desperation yet having a trump card to turn the tide, thoughts deep yet not lacking decisiveness—the Asura First Trial ends, Asura God affinity increases by ten percent, currently altogether ten percent."

"\"Reward: two divine-bestowed soul rings. \""

"The second trial of the Asura God's examination grants the usage rights of the second martial soul, the Devouring Asura Spider Emperor; examination time is unlimited."

"Two blood-red beads floated before Qian Renxue. Wow, she really was chosen by the Asura God. What about Tang San? There's a saying that Tang San was brought to the Douluo Continent by the Asura God. The Asura God chose her—would Tang San be a little angry? In the original story, to revive Tang San, the Asura God went to great trouble and even enlisted the Food God and the Nine-Colored Goddess to act together."

"After her bodily transformation was complete, Qian Renxue stored the blood-red beads in her storage bracelet, but she hadn't yet had a chance to collect her thoughts."

"Qian Renxue only felt heat in her lower abdomen; her left hand sank, and a huge sickle with a blood‑crystal texture appeared in her hand, its blade like a crescent moon, its arc bleak. Unprepared, Qian Renxue staggered under its weight."

"On the magnificent blood‑colored sickle, a white pattern appeared, resembling the blood‑stain markings on the ground of the Hell Slaughter Field when the Hell Path is activated, only much smaller and white."

"A name surfaced in her mind: the Devouring Asura Demon Sickle."

""What a flamboyant name—compared to that, isn't the name of the Angelic Holy Sword a bit mundane?""

"This spider martial soul is not bad—it even comes with its own sickle, just like her martial soul's innate Angelic Holy Sword."

"However, her Slaughter God Domain had taken residence in her second martial soul—could she still activate it? Qian Renxue tried to sense the white pattern on the sickle with her soul power; in an instant, a surging white light quietly spread, the white light emitted from the Devouring Asura Demon Sickle, but soon that white light transformed into four different colors."

"Her perception of the surrounding world changed instantly; under this aura, she felt as if she could slaughter the entire world."

"Having obtained the Slaughter God Domain and the Asura Nine Trials, Qian Renxue picked up the sickle and walked out of the pure white space."

"Qian Renxue stepped onto a lush patch of blue‑silver grass; golden sunlight poured down like a waterfall, gilding every blade with a brilliant sheen."

"The sudden sunlight made Qian Renxue instinctively shield her eyes; she squinted for a moment before opening them, then carefully surveyed her surroundings."

"A gentle breeze brushed over the grass, making the verdant expanse ripple like waves in a green sea."

"On the grass, multicolored vegetation bloomed profusely; in the sunlight's gentle caress, they appeared even more alluring and dewy."

"The fresh scent of the grass permeated the air, mingling with the fragrance of soil and the sweet aroma of flowers; Qian Renxue couldn't help drawing a deep breath, as if she could inhale that purity and beauty into her very heart."

"That damned place, Slaughter City, had no sunlight at all—it had already driven her mad, and now a second personality had emerged."

""Another me, how did you snatch my Slaughter God Domain?""

"She can now activate the Slaughter God Domain by borrowing the sickle, but once the demon sickle is retracted, what will she do if she can't summon it again? Without the second martial soul's usage rights, how can she use the Slaughter God Domain? A cold voice from her other self sounded."

""Hmph! Idiot, a martial soul's innate domain isn't affected by the restriction that twin martial souls can't be used simultaneously; however, our situation is special—we're completely separated, so the innate domain can only use the part each of us controls.""

""Moreover, this Slaughter God Domain is an acquired domain, different from the innate domains we each possess; even if you can't use the Devouring Asura Spider Emperor, you can still employ the Slaughter God Domain—in other words, this Slaughter God Domain is entirely like a public bus that both of us can use at will.""

"Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow and said, ""What nonsense—of course a bus has its own advantages; if we could join forces, wouldn't we have double the Slaughter God Domain?""

""Trivial gains—true strength lies in being strong oneself!""

""Fine, fine, fine—do you want me to give you a name?""

""Hmph! No need—I am you, so my name is naturally Qian Renxue.""

"Qian Renxue put away the sickle in her hand, then smiled and said, ""But calling you that would be troublesome for me; since you don't like another name, I'll give you a nickname—I'll call you Black Snow from now on.""

"The cold voice fell silent for a moment, then spoke: ""Hmph, do as you please.""

"Qian Renxue teased, ""Are you a hum‑hum monster? You love to hum so much.""

"Black Snow hid behind the door of her martial soul, sitting cross‑legged on the ground with the back of her head against the door; her face flushed a little from what Qian Renxue said, yet she still let out a defiant hum."

""Nagging, none of your business!""

"Qian Renxue wasn't angry either; she never expected her earlier idea to actually come true—having another version of herself accompany her, she was no longer a lone traveler on that supreme path."

"The friend Jun Wuhén mentioned really did touch her a bit; if Jun Wuhén could really catch up to her, she wouldn't mind taking him as a friend. Of course, the Qilin Crown must be strong—this is a matter of principle for Huang Mao; a minotaur can't give up halfway."

"But now, she no longer needs so‑called friends; her path will never be lonely again."

"Qian Renxue's lips curved into a warm smile; her killing aura had been absorbed by her second martial soul, making her outward behavior look more like that of a normal person."

"But Qian Renxue herself knew that in Slaughter City, a place without sunlight where only killing was known, her mental state had already become somewhat abnormal."

"She needed to find the lovely and gentle Lady Tang Yuehua for some psychological counseling to release the malice in her heart; what became of the scheme she had set up in the Clear Sky Sect? She was growing ever more curious."

""Let's go; from now on, please give me your guidance, Black Snow.""

""Hmph, spare me the boring, over‑the‑top sentimental talk.""

"Walking on the sun‑drenched grass, Qian Renxue felt her mood lighten considerably; she leisurely squinted, enjoying the sunshine she hadn't seen in a long time."

""Young Master!" an excited voice suddenly rang out ahead."

"She looked up and saw two people standing there quietly, waiting for her."

"Upon seeing those two, Qian Renxue's lips involuntarily curled upward."

""Uncle Porcupine, Uncle Snake Spear, long time no see.""

"These two were none other than the ever‑faithful followers of Qian Renxue—Spiky Porcupine Douluo Ci Xue and Snake Spear Douluo She Long; however, compared to their names, Qian Renxue preferred to address them by their titles."

"In this fantasy world, there are only mistaken names, never mistaken nicknames."

"The two titled Douluo hurriedly bowed to Qian Renxue."

"The Spiky Porcupine Douluo's face flushed with excitement as he said, ""Congratulations, Young Master, for successfully exiting the Hell Path; if the Grand Administrator knew, he'd probably have already come slaughtering from the Offering Hall—he sent us here half a year ago to await your return.""

"The Snake Spear Douluo remained as taciturn as ever, not good with words, but his eyes burned with fervor as they gazed upon Qian Renxue."

""Young Master, you seem not to have been affected by Slaughter City; your condition differs from the His Holiness's former all‑encompassing killing intent and excessive vigilance—just as always, truly worthy of the Young Master; the Eight‑Winged Angel martial soul is indeed heaven‑favored!""

"Uncle Snake Spear was almost treating her as a deity incarnate, as if any of her abnormal conditions were simply to be expected; Qian Renxue gave a helpless shake of her head and then said, ""That's not the case—I merely have my killing intent turned inward. After two years in Slaughter City, my mental state is now completely abnormal, and I hold no reverence for life whatsoever.""

""I am constantly in a state of tension, I just don't show it; I need to find a place to wash away the malign energy on my body, otherwise when I encounter something or someone displeasing, I estimate I'll commit murder and wrongdoing.""

"The Spiky Porcupine Douluo laughed and said, ""If that's so, Young Master, why not go ask His Holiness for some experience? His Holiness's removal of malign energy works very well.""

"Qian Renxue nodded; she indeed ought to pay a visit to Bibi Dong."

"But she wasn't interested in Bibi Dong's method of eliminating aftereffects; her adoptive father had once spent an unknown amount of manpower and material resources on Bibi Dong's aftereffects."

"Lady Tang Yuehua's Moon Pavilion works far better than the Spirit Hall's, and it saves time and effort."

"Merely missing her kin made her want to return first to see her grandfather, and also Ye Feng that rascal—she hasn't been by his side these two years, so she doesn't know whether any good treasures have turned up around him, and she still hasn't found out what use his gourd has."

"Also, has Xiao Yuan's second sword form emerged? How are those chives growing?"

"The Snake Spear Douluo added, ""Since the new Holy Lord ascended the throne, Spirit City has been completely rebuilt; it's called the most magnificent structure on the entire Douluo Continent, and the Spirit Hall has truly become the holy land in the hearts of all soul masters. Young Master, when you return you can tour Spirit City—it will surely broaden your horizons.""

"We'll be heading home soon; even though Qian Renxue's heart is somewhat stirred, she said, ""All right, then I'll wait and see.""

"Qian Renxue followed behind the two titled Douluo; after two years of life in Slaughter City, she now completely cannot tolerate anyone standing behind her, and she will uncontrollably trigger a stress reaction."
