In the bitter cold lands, outside Slaughter City.
Dugu Feng walked at a leisurely pace, his expression calm as if pondering something.
What played out in his mind was the scene of Qian Renxue obtaining the Nine Trials of the Angel.
Both sides had left Heaven Dou City simultaneously. Qian Renxue and Qiandao Liu had noticed him, and he had noticed them as well.
At the time, he had guessed that Qiandao Liu was taking Qian Renxue to undergo the God Test.
His speculation was soon confirmed. At the Pope Mountain Douluo Hall, Qian Renxue officially began the Angel God Trials.
What was most interesting was Qiandao Liu's reaction—he seemed utterly incredulous. He had severely underestimated Qian Renxue's innate full spirit power of twenty levels.
How foolish to wait until now to let Qian Renxue attempt it.
Moreover, if he hadn't revealed information about the Gods to Qian Renxue, prompting her to persistently question Qiandao Liu, perhaps even now Qiandao Liu wouldn't have thought of letting his granddaughter inherit the legacy.
This Qiandao Liu was truly hopelessly rigid.
Dugu Feng shook his head, no longer dwelling on matters concerning Qian Renxue. With the Core Pearl inside her body, she no longer posed a threat to him.
What he should consider now was the Asura God Trial.
Slaughter City was right before him, yet Dugu Feng was in no hurry to enter its interior.
He circled Slaughter City thoroughly, gaining an understanding of its unique nature.
Slaughter City was a Secret Realm Domain, independent of the Douluo Continent—in short, it was a small world.
Within it was the Magic-Sealing Domain effect established by the Asura God. Any Soul Master who entered would be unable to use Soul Skills.
Of course, if a Soul Master who entered underwent the trial and obtained the Slaughter God Domain, it would signify preliminary recognition from the Asura God, allowing them to function as a normal Soul Master and use Soul Skills within.
This was the basic situation of Slaughter City, as far as Dugu Feng could perceive.
His head Soul Bone emitted a golden light, his eyes becoming clear and penetrating. He could see that Slaughter City was divided into two layers: one of land and one of ocean.
The ocean was precisely the Blood Pool beneath the Road to Hell, the energy core of Slaughter City.
Dugu Feng extended the index and middle fingers of his right hand, lightly touching his glabella. The Eight-Colored Poison Pill manifested, then detached from his body and landed in his hand.
"Go!"
With a soft command from Dugu Feng, the Eight-Colored Poison Pill transformed into a streak of light and descended toward the Blood Pool.
In the blink of an eye, it vanished into the Blood Pool without a trace.
The prototype of the Eight-Colored Poison Pill was Dugu Feng's Overlord Venom, containing the most intense toxins.
Moreover, this toxin possessed powerful vitality, capable of absorbing all energy and assimilating it into stronger, more complex Mixed Poisons.
The Blood Pool inherently contained chronic toxins, which, to the Eight-Colored Poison Pill, were natural nourishment.
"Can the Overlord Venom achieve the effect of the Blood-Colored Swan's Kiss, amplifying the chronic toxins in the Blood Pool a thousandfold, yet with the toxins still under my control?"
Dugu Feng's eyes were profound as he connected with the Eight-Colored Poison Pill through his spiritual power, continuously comprehending the changes in the toxins within the Blood Pool.
The toxins grew increasingly intense, giving a sensation of gradually boiling over.
Through the evolution of the toxins, Dugu Feng could even sense the cultivation of the King of Slaughter.
"Excellent, just as it should be!"
He gave a cold smile and swiftly entered Slaughter City, appearing in the sky above it.
The dim environment was unchanged from Dugu Feng's last visit.
"Poison Demon King, welcome back to Slaughter City!" The King of Slaughter's welcoming voice rang out the moment Dugu Feng entered, having sensed his arrival immediately.
From within the City Lord's Mansion, he transmitted his voice to Dugu Feng.
With a stern expression, Dugu Feng descended and strode quickly into the City Lord's Mansion, stopping before the King of Slaughter.
"Your Majesty, I'm relieved you're safe. I received news that the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall plan to move against you, so I rushed here immediately from Heaven Dou City!" Dugu Feng wore a grave expression, resorting directly to alarmist tactics.
The King of Slaughter's complexion was already an unhealthy pale, but upon hearing Dugu Feng's words, faint crimson patterns emerged on his white skin. He questioned, "Oh? How come I haven't heard of this!"
Ever since Dugu Feng had informed him before attempting the Road to Hell that the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall harbored intentions against the Slaughter Road, the King of Slaughter had dispatched Xiong Ba to gradually establish an intelligence network across the continent.
Although not as well-informed as the major powers, he was still aware of significant developments.
Recently, the most sensational news on the continent concerned the 100,000-Year Soul Beast, while Slaughter City had remained exceptionally quiet, drawing no attention.
Dugu Feng continued, "This happened three days ago. Outside Heaven Dou City, Spirit Hall's Pope Bibi Dong exposed that Slaughter City is the inheritance site of the Asura God. Anyone who obtains the Slaughter God Domain may potentially initiate a God Test.
Afterward, the Clear Sky Sect became absolutely certain that their sect's powerhouse, Tang Chen, disappeared after coming to Slaughter City seeking Godhood Inheritance. They have decided to destroy Slaughter City.
Meanwhile, Bibi Dong has obtained the Rakshasa Divine Trial and is on the verge of becoming a God. I suspect she will certainly sever the Asura God's inheritance site on the continent before her ascension!"
Dugu Feng mixed truth with falsehood to intimidate him.
Sure enough, as he spoke, the guilt-ridden King of Slaughter's expression changed dramatically.
Whether regarding Tang Chen or Bibi Dong's Rakshasa Divine Trial, the King of Slaughter understood these matters best—they were also his greatest concerns.
Before the King of Slaughter could react, Dugu Feng added gravely, "Moreover, Your Majesty, I came to warn you to pay attention to Slaughter City's Blood Pool.
Do you recall that Snow-Colored Swan's Kiss Immortal Herb I mentioned last time? It can activate all toxins and amplify negative energy a hundred or thousandfold.
After all this time, they might have already obtained that Immortal Herb!"
"What!"
The King of Slaughter was shocked. Through his interactions with Dugu Feng over this period, he had come to fully believe in the existence of such an Immortal Herb.
Perhaps a single Immortal Herb could destroy Slaughter City.
"Better to believe it exists than to dismiss it, Your Majesty. We must prepare early, preferably by checking whether the Blood Pool has undergone any changes!"
Dugu Feng guided the King of Slaughter.
Upon hearing this, the King of Slaughter dared not delay. With a wave of his large hand, his cloak extended toward the wall, instantly turning the entire surface blood-red.
The King of Slaughter transformed into a crimson shadow and vanished into the blood-red hue.
Dugu Feng thought to himself, Spirit Beasts are just Spirit Beasts—no brains to speak of!
With just a few words, he had tricked the King of Slaughter into heading to the Blood Pool.
His visit to Slaughter City this time was part of a scheme. Tang Chen needed to be dealt with, but before that, he had to be utilized to the fullest.
He hoped everything would proceed smoothly according to his plan.
Dugu Feng sat down cross-legged to cultivate. The Slaughter Aura here far exceeded that of the outside world, enough to allow his Asura Power to continue accumulating.
His Asura Domain had actually already been cultivated to its limit, with Asura Power filling his bloodline.
This brought his body close to a Demigod Body.
What followed was the process of transforming Asura Power into Divine Power, but without a God Test, such a transformation was impossible.
