Several Days Later
After finishing everything at the Spirit Hall, I went with Bibi Dong to the Slaughter City to take the Asura God's Inheritance Test.
Asura God was the strongest God-King of the Douluo Divine Realm, who acted as the primary Enforcer of Douluo Divine Realm; his Spirit Rank was apparently a way above Rank 150.
It would be ideal if Bibi Dong could inherit his God Position and become the new Asura God. That would create a practically unshakable foundation for her and their cooperation. Especially the Longinus Dreizhen Orden would have another powerhouse among their ranks.
Soon enough, after several days of traveling, as I wanted to enjoy the scenery, we have arrived at Slaughter City.
Truth to be told, it looked like shit, and it was.
Slaughter City is a place where there are no laws. It is a place where murder, rape, stealing, and all sorts of criminal activities occur. As long as you have the ability, you can do whatever you want.
Slaughter City is a black city with a purple moon hanging right over it with a dark sky. The city is divided into inner and outer cities. The inner city is a genuinely lawless place. In the outer city, casual murder is not allowed. Only those who have survived the Hell Slaughter Arena have the qualifications to live in the inner city.
"So inside the city, you can't use your spirit master abilities?"
I asked Bibi Dong as we observed the Slaughter City from a distance.
"No, only your physical strength and instincts. You can also use Spirit Power as a source of strength, but not any abilities of your martial spirits or spirit rings. It was created by Asura God to serve as a testing ground to find his inheritor, so the entire city is just one huge test."
Of course, I wasn't a Spirit Master, and my strength has already reached 1st-Class God according to the classification of the Douluo.
"So... that means I can kill everyone here?"
I asked with a bloodthirsty grin.
This city was full of criminals, murderers, rapists, terrorists, or evil spirit masters across the entire Douluo Continent. In truth, I would be doing this Continent and Spirit Hall a great service.
"Yes. It would be faster that way. Based on available information, the city is ruled by Slaughter King, Limit Douluo Rank 99, and there should be one or two Titled Douluos serving him. Our target is the Hell Road, which is the first trail of the Asura God; it is located at the Hell Slaughter Arena."
Explained Bibi Dong to me as I used my senses to scan the area.
Actually, this city was just a city, and the thing that prevented Soul Masters from using their abilities was some kind of Domain that enveloped the entire area around the city, which was probably created by the Asura God.
In the Slaughter City, only a small part was truly "indestructible", and that was the Hell Road, which was personally constructed by the Asura God that he infused with his Immortal Qi, making it "indestructible" anyone below his power.
"This place has more than 20,000 people... it will be a good test for my new ability."
I said as I spread my 12 Wings, my 4 horns and tail appeared, and I targetted everyone under the Titled Douluo Level of Power.
[Devour]
Suddenly a black wave of energy rushed out of my body, as I used Devour Ability that was powered by Law of Devour, and it swept across the entity city, as every person suddenly fell to the ground... dead.
[Converting Spirit Power to the Demonic Energy.]
[Demonic Energy increased by 1 Point.]
1 Point of Energy for beings of Law was around 10,000. I was surprised by how small gain from Devouring more than 20,000 people from which almost all were at or above Spirit Elder.
But that was understandable... their energy wasn't pure and dense enough.
"Only two people remained alive. One of them should be Slaughter King, and another should be Captain of his Enforcer Team."
I said as I flew down next to the Bibi Dong, and we have walked to the city.
In front of the city, two people were waiting or rather looking around...
One of them was a man, covered in black knight armor with a lance, while another one tall and slim man wearing a scarlet coat with pale face and blood-red eyes. Interestingly, he had one pair of leathery wings, and his power was at the Limit Douluo; he should be the Slaughter King.
I instantly used Devour on the knight, and he dropped to the ground dead, but the increase in power was minuscule.
Now that I was at the Apocalypse-Class, with the usage of Laws directly, nobody under the same level could resist my power, and even using it on living targets from a distance was no problem, as long as they were significantly weaker than me.
Bibi Dong stood behind me and cautiously looked at the Slaughter King before she relaxed as I was with her, so she was in no danger.
"How did God descent into the Mortal Plane?"
He asked calmly, not fitting the situation he was in.
I didn't bother answering him as it was unnecessary; I instantly appeared behind him and pierced his heart with my hand as I used Devour on him.
[Foreign Energy Detected.]
[Energy identified as Law of Slaughter.]
[Devouring Law of Slaughter.]
[Comprehension of the Law of Slaughter is at 10%.]
I was shocked that something as good as this would come from Devouring the Slaughter King. Appearetnly as Inheritor for Asura God or should-be Inheritor, he god something good and that was some comprehension of Laws.
Probably all Inheritors would get something like this.
I then searched his withered corpse to find the most beautiful sword that I have ever seen.
It was a blood-colored sword with an extremely oppressive aura that even I felt threatened by a great deal.
"Empyrean Grade."
