In a world of magma, a crimson castle stands.
Zhou Sidong, from the main world, returns to the City of Slaughter.
However, this isn't the City of Slaughter from his own world, but from a parallel universe.
Gazing at the familiar castle before him, Zhou Sidong feels a sense of homecoming.
After all, he was the God of Slaughter in the City of Slaughter; returning was no different from coming home.
"You have violated the rules."
A knight wielding a broadsword rode forward, the cold blade pressed against Zhou Sidong, speaking coldly.
"Enough!"
Zhou Sidong frowned, a black holy sword appearing in his hand. With a single strike, he beheaded the knight and walked into the city under the horrified gazes of the other knights.
"He can use soul power?"
This was something that everyone found curious and astonishing.
The rules of the City of Slaughter restrict anyone who comes here, regardless of who they are or where they come from.
Once they set foot here, their martial soul and soul power are sealed, and they cannot use soul skills.
And this person not only uses soul skills, but...
it's terrifying!
The outer city reeks of blood, scenes of carnage everywhere.
Upon seeing Zhou Sidong's arrival, everyone's eyes turned red, charging forward like ferocious beasts, their mouths gaping wide with blood, their hands instinctively reaching out.
"Tang San, the source of all evil!"
Zhou Sidong stamped his foot, and the Fallen Ones vanished into a cloud of blood mist.
"The City of Slaughter is about to be destroyed. Tang San secretly visited the City of Slaughter before heading to Seagod Island. It was then that Tang San cast the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Now it's taking effect. The Hell Road lies beneath the City of Slaughter, and the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well helps catalyze this power. The Fallen Ones you just saw are a result of this! If we had arrived a few days later, I believe the City of Slaughter would have been completely destroyed in no time!"
Xiaoxue said grimly.
Fortunately, Zhou Sidong mentioned it unintentionally; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
This was Zhou Sidong's eighth time traversing parallel universes.
"Hell Messenger, since you're here, don't hide anymore."
As Zhou Sidong finished speaking, a Hell Messenger in a black robe emerged from the darkness.
"You're a newcomer?"
The Hell Messenger frowned.
She had entertained countless people, but this was the first time she'd ever seen someone who could use both soul skills and martial souls.
"Take me to see the King of Slaughter,"
Zhou Sidong said bluntly.
The Hell Messenger paused slightly, then smiled and said, "I'm sorry, the King of Slaughter is the ruler of the Slaughter City. With your status, you can't possibly see him..."
Before the Hell Messenger could finish speaking, Zhou Sidong's holy sword was already pressed against her throat.
"If you don't want to see the Slaughter City destroyed, then take me there!"
At this moment, the Hell Messenger's eyes changed, a flicker of emotion crossing her face!
"I think you've also noticed what's happening now. Lead the way!"
The Hell Messenger dared not say more, and could only lead Zhou Sidong to the castle where the King of Slaughter resided, with a hint of resentment in her heart.
The King of Slaughter, with blood-red wings and a full head of white hair, now had several ghostly blue flames burning before him. The scenes displayed in the flames included the section Zhou Sidong had just arrived at, as well as Hell Road, the Hell Slaughter Arena, and countless corners of the Slaughter City.
Recently, for some unknown reason, the City of Slaughter has begun to descend into chaos!
The Hell Road has even collapsed, turning the Fallen into mere walking corpses, just like before.
"What brings you to my City of Slaughter?"
The King of Slaughter looked at Zhou Sidong, his expression somewhat panicked.
He was acutely aware of the City of Slaughter's current predicament; if things continued to worsen, the City of Slaughter's final fate could only be…destruction!
"You're eager to know who did it? I read the desire in your eyes."
Zhou Sidong stepped forward to face the King of Slaughter, their eyes meeting.
"Could it be you?"
the King of Slaughter retorted, his killing intent surging, the current predicament of the City of Slaughter almost causing him to lose his mind.
"It wasn't you, otherwise why would you walk right into my trap?"
The King of Slaughter sneered, "Do you know who did it? Tell me!"
The King of Slaughter stared intently at Zhou Sidong, his tone sincere.
"Do you remember Tang San?"
"Tang San?"
The King of Slaughter tried to recall, then his eyes lit up: "Who are you... Asura King? Was it him?"
"Let's go to Hell Road, the answer is there."
The situation was urgent, and the King of Slaughter didn't think too much before leading Zhou Sidong directly to the Hell Slaughter Arena.
This place had become a bloody hell, devoid of rules and constraints, filled with fallen beings slaughtering each other.
Even with Zhou Sidong and the King of Slaughter's arrival, they remained indifferent.
Some even rushed forward to kill the two, but were all dealt with by the King of Slaughter and Zhou Sidong.
"If it really was Asura King! I will grind him to dust!"
The King of Slaughter's eyes blazed with murderous intent as he spoke.
The two walked to the central arena of the Hell Slaughter Arena, their figures leaping from the platform, causing the fallen beings who intended to pounce to miss their target.
"Let me grant you liberation!"
The King of Slaughter raised his arms and shouted, the arena beneath his feet beginning to move apart, a tremendous suction force surging into the arena.
The fallen warriors who were previously slaughtering each other in the Hellish Slaughter Arena were all drawn in by this inexplicable suction force, ultimately plunging into it and dissipating into a bloody mist.
"Let's go!"
Seeing the entrance to the Hellish Road open, Zhou Sidong and the King of Slaughter entered one after the other.
Here, magma boiled! The earth shook!
Zhou Sidong and the King of Slaughter could only maintain their balance in mid-air. Looking at the scene before them, the King of Slaughter's heart bled; his Slaughter City was about to be destroyed!
"Use whatever method you have!"
the King of Slaughter said urgently.
At this point, they could only try anything.
"Xiaoxue, it's up to you!"
Zhou Sidong smiled slightly. He naturally had no way to save the Slaughter City, but that didn't mean Xiaoxue couldn't.
Xiaoxue raised her small hand above her head, and a clock appeared above her.
With a click, the clock began to reverse.
At the location of Hell Road, the collapsed boulders began to return to their original state, and the churning lava calmed down. The King of Slaughter witnessed all of this, and he was dumbfounded!
As time passed, everything, including Hell Road, began to recover; time was flowing backward.
Then, the Yin-Yang Spring, which had been fused with the lava, began to surge again, and a small porcelain bottle emerged from the lava and flew out.
The bottle was red and blue, and all the Yin-Yang Spring water gathered within it, flying into Zhou Sidong's hand.
"This is the culprit that destroyed the City of Slaughter!"
Zhou Sidong tossed it to the King of Slaughter, who began to examine it closely.
"This water possesses both extremely cold and extremely hot properties. It can quickly ignite magma, causing it to boil, ultimately destroying my Slaughter City! Tang San, Asura King, you're very good!"
The Slaughter King's eyes hardened, then he looked at Zhou Sidong and said, "Thank you for saving me today. If the Slaughter City is destroyed, I reckon that once the Fallen Ones leave the city, the Douluo Continent will be in turmoil. You may leave!"
With that, the Slaughter King flew away, heading towards the exit.
"Looks like he's going to seek revenge on Tang San,"
Xiaoxue said, watching the Slaughter King's departing figure.
"Tang San returned from Seagod Island with the Trident of Seagod, encountering the King of Slaughter along the way. The Light of Seagod then restored Tang Chen. Even if we don't do this, Tang Chen will eventually meet him again,"
Zhou Sidong said. "It's fate's arrangement. As long as Slaughter City is safe, that's fine. Let's go to the Spirit Hall; we still have some time. It's been years since I've disciplined this little guy. Today, I'll teach him a lesson!"
...
Parallel universe, God Realm.
"That anomaly went to Slaughter City and even resolved its crisis,"
the God of Asura said, sensing what had happened in Slaughter City.
"Why did he go to Slaughter City?"
the Seagod asked, puzzled by Zhou Sidong's actions.
"I don't know,"
the God of Asura shook his head. "It's a pity Slaughter City wasn't destroyed."
"Asura, Slaughter City was your place of transcendence. You willingly let Tang San destroy it?"
the Seagod retorted.
"Hehe..."
The Asura God chuckled and replied, "My Slaughter Capital was transformed into that grotesque state by that bastard Rakshasa God. So what if it's destroyed? I haven't taken it to heart. Next, Tang San will draw the Trident of the Sea God, and the war between the Spirit Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire is about to begin. We must also prepare for Tang San's eventual ascension to godhood."
The two gods' figures began to disappear...
At the same time, inside the Spirit Hall in a parallel universe,
a series of agonizing screams echoed throughout.
It was undoubtedly Qian Lingfeng's voice, along with the sounds of things being smashed, and the reprimand from his father, Zhou Sidong.
"You've had too many good days, haven't you? Don't you know the situation is tense? Instead of cultivating properly, you're indulging in romantic evenings? I'll show you what romantic evenings are like!"
Zhou Sidong pulled down Qian Lingfeng's pants and slapped the brat's buttocks with the hilt of the Angelic Holy Sword. For a moment, Qian Daoliu, standing outside the door, hesitated whether to go in.
Although he didn't recommend Zhou Sidong discipline his son, as a great-grandfather, he still felt a pang of sympathy.
Finally, after a complex internal struggle, Qian Daoliu turned and left.
"Father! I was wrong!"
Qian Lingfeng begged for mercy. He never expected his father to suddenly appear and then beat him mercilessly. His father's love was always so heavy, too much for Qian Lingfeng to bear.
"Weren't the grapes Hu Liena fed you delicious?"
Zhou Sidong looked at him with a half-smile.
Qian Lingfeng stood trembling before Zhou Sidong; he was afraid!
Even this once fearless demon king knew fear. Back
then, his son was young, and Zhou Sidong couldn't bear to hit him.
Now that the boy had grown up, Zhou Sidong no longer hesitated; it was time to strike.
"Not good!"
Qian Lingfeng shook his head, tears welling in his eyes.
He lowered his head, not daring to meet his father's gaze.
Seeing Qian Lingfeng's aggrieved, almost-crying expression, Zhou Sidong chuckled, "Stop pretending. I didn't even try to cry, why are you crying?"
In an instant, Qian Lingfeng revealed an innocent smile, then went behind his father and started massaging his shoulders, "Dad, how come you have time to come to the parallel universe? Did you miss me?"
Zhou Sidong: "..."
This brat's skin is incredibly thick. Did he inherit it from his father?
This thought was immediately crushed by Zhou Sidong. Impossible, absolutely impossible!
"Don't think too much. Your old man came here on urgent business. I'll have time to come see you after I'm done."
Zhou Sidong casually brushed him off. He couldn't very well say that he came specifically to teach him a lesson; his son would "hold a grudge" if he said that.
"Don't leave the Spirit Hall for the next few days, understand?"
Zhou Sidong suddenly became serious and said to his son.
"Why?"
Qian Lingfeng scratched his head. He hadn't left the Spirit Hall for several years since he came here.
Because the situation here was different from his Douluo Continent; it was very complicated.
The Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and the newly established Spirit Empire—the three forces are intricately intertwined.
Qian Lingfeng's identity is special; even if he wanted to leave, Qian Daoliu wouldn't allow him to do so easily.
"Do you remember a few years ago in the Star Dou Great Forest, when you absorbed the spirit ring and spirit bone of that Soft Bone Rabbit?"
Zhou Sidong's mention of this inevitably reminded him of something.
"I remember, that rabbit's spirit ring and spirit bone were incredibly useful!"
Hearing this, Zhou Sidong almost burst out laughing. If Tang San and Xiao Wu heard this, their faces would probably turn green.
"As long as it's useful."
Zhou Sidong smiled and nodded. As long as his son was satisfied, anything he did was worthwhile.
"Listen to me carefully, Tang San, the one who went against Dad and your grandma, is about to return from Seagod Island. The first thing he'll do upon returning to Douluo Continent is look for you."
"Look for me?"
Qian Lingfeng asked, puzzled. "Why? I don't have any gold."
"Because… he wants to revive that rabbit."
Zhou Sidong smiled slightly, looking at his son. "That rabbit's spirit ring and spirit bone are on you. The prerequisite for reviving that rabbit is to retrieve your spirit ring and spirit bone. Then, combined with his Seagod Light, that rabbit can be revived!"
Zhou Sidong almost forgot about this if he hadn't carefully considered the subsequent plot.
"Then am I in great danger?"
Qian Lingfeng's face paled. Although he was already a Soul King, Tang San was indeed a troublesome fellow. He had heard his grandmother mention him before; in short, that guy was no good.
"What do you think?"
Zhou Sidong raised an eyebrow, pondered for a moment, and said, "Come back with me. Your grandmother and mother miss you terribly after all these years in the parallel universe. Staying any longer would be too dangerous, as a bloody war is about to begin, and it's unavoidable."
This was one of Zhou Sidong's reasons for coming here.
Having resolved the threat of the Killing City, it was time to take his son away.
Returning to the main world would be safer; staying here would only make Tang San "worry" about him, since Xiao Wu's spirit ring and spirit bone were with him.
"I... I'm a little reluctant..."
After all, he had spent several years in the parallel universe, and during that time, his grandparents in this world had been very kind to him; he was reluctant to leave...
