CHAPTER 565: CHAPTER 549: BREAKTHROUGH AGAIN_1

In the Imperial Study, Qin Wudao finished reading the system’s introduction. His excitement took a long time to fade, and his breathing was slightly hurried.

The Slaughter Dao! The Slaughter Dao here did not refer to the Power of Laws, but a ’Dao’ that was higher than laws—the fundamental essence constituting the world, all heavens and myriad realms, and even the universe itself.

Even the Power of Laws of the Immortal Realm was utterly weak before ’Dao’.

"System, can Bai Qi integrate the ’Slaughter Godhead’?" Qin Wudao promptly asked.

From its name, one could discern that the ’Slaughter Godhead’ was a godhead primarily dedicated to the Dao of Slaughter. Only those who had comprehended the Slaughter Dao Laws had a chance of successfully integrating it.

Among all the civil and military officials of the Qin Dynasty, only Bai Qi had entered the Dao through slaughter!

"He can!"

"System, integrate the ’Slaughter Godhead’ into Bai Qi!" Qin Wudao commanded decisively, without hesitation.

He never hoarded the treasures rewarded by the system, nor was he miserly with them. He always used them directly to enhance the national strength of the Qin Dynasty’s Saint’s Court.

Strength is the key! Only with formidable power can one possess everything!

"DING! ’Slaughter Godhead’ is being deployed!"

As the system prompt sounded, the Void in front of Qin Wudao cracked open, revealing a blood-colored crystal the size of a fist. It radiated a soft red glow and was covered in arcane runes.

An incredibly terrifying murderous aura spread from the blood-colored crystal, covering the entire Imperial Capital within a thousandth of a second.

For a moment, the azure sky changed color, turning completely crimson.

It was as if one were in an endless domain of slaughter, with immeasurable blood flowing, washing the cosmos clean, and slaughtering everything in the world.

The next moment, the ’Slaughter Godhead’ soared into the sky, merged with the Fortune of the Qin Dynasty’s Saint’s Court, and flew towards Bai Qi, who was far away in the Middle Region. It transformed into a red streak of light that pierced through Changkong.

Wherever it passed, the temperature plummeted, and water surfaces froze. Even Great Emperor Realm Martial Artists felt a chill seep into their bones, their souls trembling.

On the blood-mist-shrouded battlefield, Bai Qi was in the process of accepting the Demon Emperor’s surrender. Hmm? He suddenly felt the murderous aura within his body surge uncontrollably, erupting without reservation.

BOOM!

A towering pillar of blood-red light shot straight into the Nine Heavens!

Centered around this pillar of light, the Void within a ten thousand zhang radius turned entirely blood-red. It contained terrifying Slaughter Dao Laws, annihilating all other Powers of Laws.

All living beings within this expanse of Void felt their scalps tingle as if they were submerged in an endless murderous aura. They found it difficult to breathe and hastily employed their movement techniques to flee.

Retreating beyond ten thousand zhang, Zhao Yun wiped the sweat from his forehead. Looking at Bai Qi enveloped in the blood light, he asked with a hint of worry, "Advisor Guo, what’s wrong with the Marshal?"

"I am not sure!" Guo Jia replied, shaking his head.

What is this God of Slaughter up to now? a nervous Demon Emperor thought elsewhere, swallowing hard with great unease.

What’s happening to me? Not only others, but even Bai Qi himself was utterly confused. He did not understand why the murderous aura in his body would suddenly go berserk.

Have I suffered from cultivation deviation? That doesn’t seem right.

At this very moment, the ’Slaughter Godhead’, having traversed thousands of mountains and rivers, descended with a long, bloody tail and landed between Bai Qi’s eyebrows, beginning to instill the Divine General’s inheritance.

"My name... is Bai Qi!"

A grand, indifferent, ancient, and weathered voice echoed in Bai Qi’s mind.

The next moment, he found himself on a mysterious battlefield. Two iron-blooded armies were engaged in fierce combat, the sounds of slaughter shaking the heavens, and a surging blood light dyeing the Heavenly Universe red.

The Slaughter Dao Law! Bai Qi’s brows twitched. His gaze, sharp as a sword, locked onto a blood-armored general on the battlefield. He watched the general continuously wield his war sword, fresh blood splattering as corpses piled up at his feet.

From this general, he sensed a familiar aura—it was the Power of the Slaughter Dao Law, and it was even stronger and purer than his own.

Suddenly, a chill struck his heart. He saw the blood-armored general, immersed in the battlefield’s slaughter, raise his head and look towards him.

A pair of blood-colored eyes, like the gaze of a Slaughter God!

The same eyes as mine? Bai Qi was startled. The thought had just surfaced when he felt the world spin around him. When he reappeared, he found himself in a massive pit.

Looking up, the person who met his eyes was still that familiar blood-armored general, standing with sword in hand.

The blood-armored general stood on the Command Dais, drew his war sword, and commanded with a murderous aura, "Kill!"

With a cacophony of sounds, countless surrendering soldiers were pushed into the giant pit and tragically buried alive. The怨气 (resentful energy) generated from their deaths surged to the heavens, transforming into lingering spirits whose resentment would not dissipate for eternity.

After everyone had been buried alive, the blood-armored general looked up, glanced at Bai Qi again, and revealed a faint smile.

This time, Bai Qi no longer felt a chill in his bones; instead, a strange sense of familiarity arose.

A kindred spirit!

Soon, the world spun again.

This time, Bai Qi arrived at a starry battlefield and once again saw the blood-armored general. His face was cold as ice as he commanded billions of iron-blooded troops, expanding territories and annexing Starfields.

In the boundless starry sky, cluster after cluster of fireballs appeared, exceptionally dazzling.

This was the afterglow of exploding stars!

Each star was home to at least a trillion living beings, but according to Bai Qi’s observation, in this brief engagement alone, at least hundreds of stars had exploded.

How many people must have died? Among them, how many deserved to die? And how many died innocently?

Bai Qi did not know, nor did he want to know. He only knew that the campaign he commanded against the Myriad Demon Saint’s Court was mere child’s play, not worth mentioning, before this blood-robed general.

Soon, the great battle concluded. The blood-armored general stood upon the ruins of a star and whispered, "My inheritor, you have finally arrived!"

As his words fell, a new memory appeared out of thin air in Bai Qi’s mind. Besides a Cultivation Technique named "Slaughter God’s Secret Art," there was also "Slaughter God’s Military Strategy" and comprehensions of the Slaughter Dao!

These three items were treasures of utmost importance to anyone!

What has happened to me?

An unknown amount of time passed—perhaps an instant, perhaps millions of years—before Bai Qi’s soul returned to the real world. He discovered an additional blood-colored crystal in his Dantian.

Slaughter Godhead? Through the inherited memories, he knew the origin of this blood-colored crystal, yet he felt a bit uncertain.

Then, a trace of joy appeared on his calm face. He found that his comprehension of the Slaughter Dao Law had ascended to another level.

Wisps of the Power of the Origin Slaughter Dao Law swirled around him.

It felt as if, with a single thought, he could break through to the Prime Origin Great Emperor Realm.

Break! Deciding to give it a try, Bai Qi closed his blood-red eyes and began to circulate the "Slaughter God’s Secret Art" that had appeared in his mind, preparing himself for failure.

However, reality was the complete opposite!

Upon circulating the "Slaughter God’s Secret Art," the Spiritual Energy within his body began to compress, becoming exceptionally pure. The Slaughter Dao Law started to transform, and he broke through to the Prime Origin Great Emperor Realm almost effortlessly, as if it were the most natural course of events.

BOOM!

A terrifying aura erupted from Bai Qi’s body.

From the Nine Heavens above, rumbles of thunder echoed. A vast thundercloud stretching ten thousand li appeared, constantly roiling, revealing a forbidden power and exuding world-destroying might.

He broke through? Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang, and the others exchanged glances, utterly dumbfounded. It felt somewhat absurd.

Other Martial Artists wishing to break through to the Prime Origin Great Emperor Realm had to endure countless hardships and dangers to even glimpse the opportunity for a breakthrough, and even then, success was not guaranteed.

But Bai Qi? He broke through just by watching the Demon Emperor surrender?

Since when did breaking through to the Prime Origin Great Emperor Realm become so easy?

So powerful! Bai Qi opened his eyes. Two rays of blood-red light burst from his blood-red eyes, shattering the Void. He was astounded.

He was certain that he had received the inheritance of a peerless powerhouse.
