The Slaughter Domain, which grew stronger through killing, left Chen Yuan with some reflections.
"This is the method of the God of Slaughter—using killing to stop killing. The heavier the killing intent, the more evil it becomes. By eradicating the most wicked in the world, one becomes the most wicked among them, drawing power from endless killing intent. This is indeed enough to make someone unimaginably strong."
"However, killing intent can also erode one's own mind. If one can hold onto their true self, they become the Asura. If not, they become the Rakshasa. No wonder Slaughter City became a shared legacy for both Asura and Rakshasa."
After his reflections, Chen Yuan cleaned up the remaining gray Wolf Bandits and dispersed the blood-red orb in his hand. The sight of scattered flesh and blood didn't faze him; it was something he had grown accustomed to in Slaughter City.
Chen Yuan walked over to the corpse of the strongest green Wolf Bandit among the three leaders. He smashed the two leg bones and, sure enough, found a green object in the right leg—a right leg soul bone.
He took it out and felt the intense surge of soul power within the bone. After a moment of recollection, he said, "This is the 'Bloodthirsty Frenzy Hurricane Right Leg Bone.' It can enhance attack, defense, and speed. When the 'Bloodthirst' skill is activated, attack, defense, and speed are all increased by 100%. It's quite suitable for Zhu Qing. I'll take it back and give it to her as a gift."
After storing the soul bone, Chen Yuan continued forward. Soon, he came across the bodies of the human women who had been killed by the Wolf Bandits. He frowned, his voice heavy. "In this wilderness, even if you weren't food for the Wolf Bandits, other beasts would have come for you eventually. Let me bury you properly."
With that, Chen Yuan used his soul power to blast a pit into the ground. He gathered the women's remains and buried them, allowing them to rest in peace.
As for the Wolf Bandits' corpses, the beasts of the forest would clean them up by morning. He didn't need to worry about that.
After finishing this task, Chen Yuan used the flight skill of the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, moving like a leaf as he swiftly returned.
When he arrived near the carriage, the first person he saw was Zhu Qing, standing on top of the carriage, keeping watch. Chen Yuan waved to her and said, "Zhu Qing, there's no need to keep watch. It wasn't anything dangerous. I've already taken care of it."
Seeing Chen Yuan return safely, Zhu Qing's face lit up with joy. Hearing his words, she nodded obediently.
She jumped down from the carriage and followed Chen Yuan back inside.
Facing the curious gazes of the others, Chen Yuan explained the reason for his departure. "It wasn't much. My Slaughter Domain sensed some killing intent, so I went to deal with it. It was a group of Wolf Bandits, about a hundred of them, with strength ranging from hundred-year to thousand-year soul beasts. They had three leaders, each with an aura surpassing ten-thousand-year soul beasts. One of them was close to a thirty-thousand-year soul beast."
"Now, all those Wolf Bandits have been dealt with. It wasn't difficult to handle them, and absorbing their killing intent actually caused my Slaughter Domain to evolve."
Hearing that it was a group of Wolf Bandits, the four girls all showed expressions of disgust. They knew how Wolf Bandits came to be—Wind Demon Wolf soul beasts, which could mate with any female, forcibly bred with human women, resulting in these half-human, half-soul beast monsters.
These monsters possessed human intelligence and the ferocious strength of Wind Demon Wolves. Even armies struggled to eradicate them, and many soul masters couldn't handle them either.
It was only because they encountered Chen Yuan today, who used one of the two skills of his Blood Demon Left Leg Bone, "Blood Demon's Wrath," that they were so easily dealt with.
The power of a hundred-thousand-year beast soul bone was such that even high-level soul beasts above fifty thousand years would lose most of their resistance when faced with "Blood Demon's Wrath." Only top-tier soul beasts above a hundred thousand years could withstand it and retain some ability to fight back.
Chen Yuan then took out the "Bloodthirsty Frenzy Hurricane Right Leg Bone" and placed it in front of the four girls, saying, "This dropped from the Wolf Bandit leader. It's a right leg bone that enhances attack, defense, and speed. It's suitable for power-attack and agility-attack soul masters. Its skill is likely a berserk ability, so Zhu Qing, you should absorb it."
Zhu Qing was both shocked and delighted, but she quickly composed herself and said cautiously, "This is too precious. It's suitable for power-attack soul masters, and you could absorb it too. You should take it."
Seeing her reluctance, Chen Yuan spoke calmly. "Over the years, I've traveled far and wide, training and gaining experience. Including the Wind and Thunder Wings, I now have four soul bones. Both my left and right legs already have soul bones, so don't worry and absorb it."
Chen Yuan's words left the four girls stunned. In the soul master world, a single soul bone could spark countless battles for possession. Yet, Chen Yuan had four. This was an opportunity many could only dream of.
With that, Zhu Qing no longer refused. She looked at Chen Yuan with deep affection and joy, then carefully took the soul bone and pressed it against her right leg. Using her soul power, she melted it and absorbed it into her body.
After some thought, Chen Yuan took out a bead—the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Serpent—and explained, "This is something I obtained when I left Slaughter City, from the Hell Road. It's the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Serpent, a beast comparable to a high-level soul beast above fifty thousand years."
"The fact that it could form an inner core shows its extraordinary bloodline. Yan Yan, take this for now and see if it can help you."
Dugu Yan was momentarily stunned, then took the inner core. She stared at it intently for a long time before speaking, "I can sense its intense aura. It has a suppressive effect on snake-type soul masters and soul beasts. If absorbed, it might allow a snake-type soul master's martial soul to evolve, or a snake-type soul beast's bloodline to awaken."
"Unfortunately, my martial soul has already evolved into the Jade Phosphorus Dragon. Hmm... but I can study it. Perhaps it can help me condense a Jade Phosphorus Dragon's core sooner."
Chen Yuan knew from the original story that this inner core had become Ma Hongjun's seventh soul ring, helping his martial soul evolve further and even awakening the Phoenix Domain.
It was undoubtedly a treasure, but how it would be used ultimately depended on Dugu Yan's own decision. "Then you keep it."
Dugu Yan smiled brightly. "I won't hold back."
A few hours later, Zhu Qing successfully absorbed the soul bone. When she opened her eyes, she said excitedly, "Chen Yuan, you were right. The skill of this soul bone is 'Bloodthirst,' a berserk ability that increases attack, defense, and speed by 100%. Even without using the soul skill, it provides a comprehensive boost to my body. My soul power has also risen to level 58."
Now, Ning Rongrong had the Illusion Head Bone, Zhu Qing had the Bloodthirsty Right Leg Bone, Dugu Yan had the external soul bone Eight Spider Lances and the Ten-Headed Fiery Serpent's inner core. Only Ye Lingling was left, but she had absorbed the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor, gaining not only life force but also soul essence, which brought her immense improvements.
Chen Yuan arranged for them to set off again. After a leisurely half-month journey, they finally arrived at the coastal city—Vast Sea City!
