The atmosphere in the castle plummeted to freezing point after Han Li finished speaking.
The Slaughter King's murderous aura surged, making the air feel thick and heavy as it pressed down on Han Li.
To his surprise, Han Li still wore a smile, watching him with an unchanged expression, unaffected by the pressure. His eyes even held a hint of provocation, as if questioning, Is that all you've got? After a few seconds of stalemate, the murderous aura receded like the tide, and the Slaughter King retracted it. He emerged from the shadows and sat on the main seat.
"Heh heh heh heh..."
The Slaughter King suddenly burst into laughter, the grating sound echoing throughout the castle.
"As expected of the Spirit Hall's current Holy Son, your strength and courage are top-notch among your peers. You have passed my test."
Han Li smiled without a word, quietly enjoying his performance as if watching a clown.
If it were someone else, they might have actually believed he was testing a junior. But Han Li knew the Slaughter King's background inside and out. Trying to deceive him with words was simply laughable.
"However, young man, you are the first to dare threaten me with the Spirit Hall. I don't believe Qian Daoliu would offend me for your sake."
The Slaughter King's voice lowered again, as he looked at Han Li with a gloomy expression.
"Oh? Is that so? If the Slaughter King doesn't believe it, he can try."
Han Li returned a very polite smile.
To be honest, if the person in front of him were Sword Douluo, he wouldn't dare to act so confidently.
Because in the other party's mind, there was no concept of gods; they were just legends. Spirit Hall might be strong, but if you angered him, he would really dare to draw his sword and kill you directly.
But it was precisely those who had come into contact with inheritances or knew the secrets that he could be so unscrupulous, because Spirit Hall really had a god's inheritance.
Moreover, the existence of Slaughter City, to some extent, relied on external forces. If it were Bo Saixi, even if she didn't kill Han Li, she would give him a good beating.
But the Slaughter King didn't dare. His situation was special; he himself didn't dare to leave this place. He was parasitic on Tang Chen's existence.
Although his strength was not weak, if he left, Tang Chen might break free from his control. He had grown to like this feeling of being high above, and losing everything would be more unbearable than death.
Moreover, he actually had his own ambitions; he wanted to become a god.
Although he still couldn't distinguish whether his direct superior was the Asura God in Tang Chen's memories or the god who had secretly helped him in the past, because since that time, he had never received any more revelations.
Fortunately, the best news was that the Asura God's inherited artifact was still in his hands, untouched by anyone. This was another reason why he had always rejected the birth of a 'Slaughter God' in Slaughter City.
As for the reasons he and the Black Veil Woman had once said, the so-called fear of the Slaughter God returning to cause trouble and releasing the combat power of everyone here, just listen to it.
What a joke. Which Peerless Douluo, especially one wielding a divine artifact, would care about numbers?
Unless Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi could drag their inherited divine halls here to besiege him, the people of Douluo Continent were not worth mentioning to him.
"You really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"
The Slaughter King's face darkened. He was unwilling to take risks, but that didn't mean he couldn't.
"You really wouldn't dare."
Han Li replied with a smile. At the same time, a four-colored light emanated from his body.
They were blood-red, brilliant gold, milky white, and vermilion, but the auras were extremely weak.
"Divine Power! And four different auras. You are also an inheritor of a god."
The Slaughter King's seat armrest was crushed into powder by him, because one of them was the Asura Divine Power that he was all too familiar with.
"Is it strange? The continent doesn't just have Slaughter City as a Land of Inheritance."
Han Li spread his hands, looking at the Slaughter King whose face was uncertain.
"That's impossible. At least you couldn't have obtained the Asura God's inheritance. You haven't even entered Hell Road."
The Slaughter King retorted instinctively.
"Who knows? After all, I can also absorb the energy here."
Han Li's smile was very bright, a proper sunny and cheerful boy, but his words were like a thorn, piercing deeply into the Slaughter King's heart.
"Are you forcing me to kill you?"
The Slaughter King suddenly raised his head, staring intently at Han Li, seemingly ready to strike at any moment.
"Acting is your right, as long as you dare. I think you should understand what the aura on my body represents. Tsk, four gods, oh, even if you remove the Asura God, there are still three. I wonder if you can bear the cost."
Its actions didn't scare Han Li, but instead made him even more rampant. A dog that bites doesn't bark; the more it barks, the more it proves it lacks confidence.
"Good, very good."
The Slaughter King directly tore off its disguise and no longer made any pretense.
"All this, I must thank you for. I just came to train a bit; after all, I am the Holy Son of Spirit Hall, and I even greeted you in advance."
Han Li shook his head and continued, "Originally, everyone could have been at peace. You could be your Slaughter King, and I could be my Holy Son, but you insisted on giving me a great gift, which puts me in a difficult position."
Hearing his words, the Slaughter King's aura became somewhat unstable.
From Han Li's words, it seemed that the Asura God's Divine Power was even delivered to his door by it personally. At this moment, a strong sense of regret arose in its heart.
Then, it suddenly paused, realizing the implication in Han Li's words: he didn't seem to be choosing the Asura God's inheritance.
It took a deep look at Han Li, knowing that this might be the other's true purpose.
"You have made a very clever choice. What do you want?"
The Slaughter King regained its composure.
"I don't want anything, just to get out quickly. I am different from you. In the outside world, I live a glamorous life and don't want to be trapped here like you."
Han Li tapped his fingers on the table, his words even somewhat disrespectful, but this made the Slaughter King relax even more.
Did he think that choosing to inherit the Asura God's inheritance would trap him here?
The Slaughter King's mind raced, analyzing the meaning in Han Li's words.
Could it really be like this? The Slaughter King carefully observed Han Li's every move, noticing the impatience in his eyes.
Indeed, the two Slaughter Gods who had emerged from here in recent years had only obtained the Slaughter Domain and had not obtained inheritance qualifications.
Judging from Han Li's previous combat performance, he already possessed a Domain, and at the young age of twelve, he had come into contact with three gods, including gods whose Ice and Fire Domains were perfectly suited to him.
For just a simple Domain, the Slaughter City was really just a training ground for him. Instead, it was being a bit paranoid.
Moreover, as long as the Asura Divine Artifact was still in its hands, no one else could possibly pass the Asura God's test.
Combining its own observations with Han Li's performance, the Slaughter King became increasingly certain of its guess.
If things were as it thought, Han Li's behavior would all make sense.
"Want to get out quickly? You can, but other than the killing intent, you can't use that all-devouring ability again."
Having figured everything out, the Slaughter King quickly entered negotiation mode.
"If you hadn't secretly interfered, I wouldn't have done that in the first place," Han Li retorted.
The Slaughter King was in a great mood and didn't care about his attitude. "Then everything will remain the same. I won't interfere with anything you do. After you leave, it's best not to come back."
"Once I obtain the Domain and leave, even if you beg me, I'll be too lazy to come here again."
Han Li stood up directly and walked out without looking back.
"No need to see me off. We'll meet again when I achieve a hundred victories."
Only after Han Li's figure disappeared beyond the range of its Spiritual Power did the Slaughter King stand up.
Ignorant human, you have no idea what you have missed. But it's good that there are more fools like you, it feels more at ease.
It re-entered the darkness, emitting a "heh heh" laugh, which grew louder and louder, causing the Black Veil Woman outside the castle to tremble uncontrollably again.
At this time, Han Li, who was leisurely walking towards the residential area, also revealed a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth.
A beast is a beast. Even if it puts on a layer of human skin and imitates human thinking, it is still a beast.
In the end, this stupid bat can't even see its own position clearly. Not to mention that it doesn't even know that Soul Beasts can't become gods, even if they could, it would at most be used as a whetstone.
As Tang Chen's whetstone for so many years, the Asura Demon Sword has always been kept in its hands. Although Tang Chen has not awakened, after all, it was Rakshasa who plotted against him. If Tang Chen can actively get rid of the interference, Asura may not give Tang Chen a chance.
And what about it? This bat, who picked up a bargain, not only became a mountain king but also tried to become a god, and chose Asura. Han Li can only wish it dreams come true.
As for its thoughts, Han Li can guess a thing or two. However, if the gods really want to pass on their inheritance, does the fact that the inheritance artifact is in your hands mean that they have no way?
God Realm Central Hub, the members of the God Realm Committee, plus the newly arrived Emotion God, Rong Nianbing.
They calmly watched Han Li and the Slaughter King reach a deal, and also saw their respective performances after they separated, and all shook their heads slightly.
Han Li didn't receive the inheritance of any god. They knew this better than anyone else. So, seeing Han Li playing the Slaughter King around with just a little bit of Divine Power, they found it both amusing and admirable.
"Asura, it seems he's not planning to inherit your Godhood. Moreover, your previous inheritor hasn't completely finished the trial yet. How about I give him an inheritance?"
Rong Nianbing looked at the expressionless Asura, his mind racing.
He had already seen Han Li's performance in the Slaughter City. Although he didn't know how Han Li did it, the chanting and skills were all imitating him. But wasn't this proof that he was destined for it?
He had long wanted to unload his Godhood and run away. Now that someone was offering themselves, and a genius from the Douluo Plane at that, plus with so many people watching, he definitely wouldn't be bad. This was undoubtedly a bargain.
Besides, you guys actively pulled me over here. It shouldn't be too much if I intervene, right?
Hearing Rong Nianbing's words, Asura turned his head and glanced at him.
"As long as he enters the Slaughter City, he is participating in my trial. When he fails, I will not stop you."
"Emotion God, your intervention now is against the rules. As the God Realm's Law Enforcement God, am I to believe that you are provoking the God Realm Committee's authority?"
His words made Destruction, who was standing beside him, twitch the corner of his mouth. You remember you're the God Realm's Law Enforcement God now?
The awakening of the Plane Consciousness was an accident, but would you like to guess why we're gathered here?
