Chapter 255: Blood Pool Cultivation
City of Slaughter.
The King of Slaughter appeared in the sky, overlooking his slaughter empire, feeling the heavy stone in his heart finally lifted.
After the Poison Demon King's arrival and scheme, a Haotian Sect titled Douluo had died, and Bibi Dong was heavily injured, losing her divine power.
At least for several years, there would be no threats to the City of Slaughter.
A burst of purple light appeared, and Dugu Feng also appeared in the sky.
"King of Slaughter, did the battle between Tang Hao and Bibi Dong go as you wished?" Dugu Feng asked with a faint smile.
The King of Slaughter's crimson cloak fluttered impressively as he waved his hand.
"With the Poison Demon King here, how could it not be satisfactory!"
He laughed heartily before calming down.
"I have seen the power of twin martial souls; Tang San has yet to grow.
But Bibi Dong has cultivated divine power; her strength has reached the continent's top level, and no one can kill her—I fear for the future!"
His true worry was that Bibi Dong might become a god.
Most people didn't know about gods, thinking they were distant legends.
But the King of Slaughter knew!
Bibi Dong's divine power was the legacy of the Rakshasa God, and she had passed multiple divine trials.
He feared gods deeply.
The King of Slaughter voiced his worries to hear Dugu Feng's opinion.
Dugu Feng laughed: "King of Slaughter, you worry too much.
If the sky falls, strong ones will hold it up.
We are a hidden force in the shadows.
As long as we don't expose our hostility, we are safe before Bibi Dong takes down Haotian Sect.
Besides, aren't we currently delaying Bibi Dong's progress?"
Could the King of Slaughter really be fooled and regard Bibi Dong as a threat?
Bibi Dong had no intention of dealing with him.
She only wanted to unify the continent, destroy Martial Soul Hall, and deal with the Qi family—how could she care about the City of Slaughter?
However, after much exaggeration, the King of Slaughter firmly believed that once Bibi Dong's strength reached a certain point, she would destroy all factions.
Hearing Dugu Feng's words, the King of Slaughter understood his meaning: keep Haotian Sect and Martial Soul Hall hostile.
Help whichever side is weaker, preferably causing mutual destruction and weakening both.
"Ah, Poison Demon King, you don't want to wait until Haotian Sect and Martial Soul Hall weaken each other, so your Dugu family can become the continent's strongest?"
The King of Slaughter seemed to realize something.
"No soldier who doesn't want to be a general is a good soldier. Who doesn't want to be the strongest?" Dugu Feng said calmly, not hiding his ambition.
He admitted openly, earning the King of Slaughter's respect.
He no longer doubted Dugu Feng's secret motives against the City of Slaughter.
Still, neither Dugu Feng's nor the Dugu family's strength could yet compare to Haotian Sect or Martial Soul Hall.
"King of Slaughter, when I passed the Path of Hell, I sensed the blood pool—the energy source of the City of Slaughter.
This blood pool can assist my cultivation; may I borrow it?"
Dugu Feng added.
Without hesitation, the King of Slaughter said, "You are a guest of the City of Slaughter and have made great contributions this time. How can I refuse? Follow me!"
His cloak howled as he descended.
Dugu Feng followed, arriving at the city's center where the King of Slaughter stood.
Finally, they reached the room where the two sides first met.
The room was dark and spacious.
Behind the King of Slaughter's chair was a dark crimson crystal wall.
The King of Slaughter sat down and waved his right hand.
The dark crimson wall turned blood red, connected directly to the blood pool.
"Poison Demon King, only my room connects to the blood pool in the entire City of Slaughter. You may cultivate here!"
The blood pool's energy was endless, but the King of Slaughter did not think Dugu Feng could absorb much.
Dugu Feng was immediately delighted.
He bowed toward the King of Slaughter, then approached the blood pool's edge.
The blood pool's energy was fierce and majestic.
Mist drifted above the pool, like boiling magma.
Dugu Feng sat cross-legged and began drawing the mist's essence into his body.
He closed his eyes, his mind filled with images of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
The blood pool was formed from the blood of fallen.
The blood contained evil energy and mental poison.
Normal blood should not have these.
This evil energy was pollution left by the Rakshasa God to fight the Asura God, making the killing aura in the City of Slaughter impure so adventurers would gradually fall.
The blood pool left by the Asura God was originally meant for successors.
While thinking, Dugu Feng carefully sensed the blood entering his body.
His tyrannical poison and mental toxins stripped away the evil energy.
Only pure blood energy merged.
As soon as the blood merged, the Asura power seized it.
His Asura power—the Asura Domain's power—had fused with the blood after shedding the scorpion claw external soul bone.
Feeling the pure blood from the pool was like feeling kin; it thrilled him.
Dugu Feng immediately understood.
The blood pool left by the Asura God was for the successors' cultivation.
The Asura power came from bloodline; the pool enhanced the Asura blood.
But after being tainted by evil and mental poison, no successor could gain energy from it.
Even evil soul beasts like the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King were born.
The blood pool had become the bats' home.
These vampires parasitized above the pool.
Yet, Dugu Feng could separate pure blood from it.
His heart settled.
After his Killing God Domain evolved into the Asura Domain merged with blood, he sensed the blood pool's value.
Now it was confirmed.
"In that case, I won't hold back. Absorbing pure blood and evolving the Asura bloodline should speed my Asura Domain's cultivation!"
He thought for a moment, then said to the King of Slaughter behind him:
"It seems I'll be staying here for a while!"
The King of Slaughter nodded without objection.
"Poison Demon King, cultivate here at ease. I'll notify you of any outside news!"
The King of Slaughter gave up the room for Dugu Feng's cultivation.
He went to a nearby mansion.
There, the King of Slaughter's favored concubine, a seductive woman, and the strong subordinate Xiong Ba waited.
Upon entering, the King of Slaughter instructed:
"Arrange the remaining two Douhun matches for the Hell Envoy, then send her onto the Path of Hell!"
He no longer cared about Huliena; even if there were more killing gods like her, what difference would it make?
