Chapter 1

In the heart of a lawless realm known as Slaughter City, chaos reigned supreme. It was a place where morality held no sway, and the darkest impulses of humanity ran unchecked. Here, murder, rape, theft, and all manner of criminal activities thrived, free from the constraints of society's norms. In this bleak city, the usual rules of spirit master abilities were rendered powerless, leaving residents to rely solely on their physical strength and instincts for survival. Yet, there was a glimmer of hope in the form of spirit power, a source of strength that could make the difference between life and death.

As the city sprawled beneath a black, foreboding sky, a purple moon hung ominously overhead. Slaughter City was divided into two distinct zones: the outer city, where casual murder was frowned upon, and the inner city, the heart of the lawlessness. To earn the right to dwell within the inner city's treacherous confines, one had to prove their mettle by surviving the brutal trials of the Hell Slaughter Arena. Only those who emerged victorious in this crucible of violence could claim their place in the inner city, where the true essence of lawlessness reigned supreme.

Through the years, spirit halls have attempted to bring peace and prosperity to the continent, one of the methods was to push all criminal beneath spirit emperor to the slaughter city.

' So this is Slaughter City ' is what Yue li is thinking while slowly mingling inside.

She was a beautiful woman with dark hair and eyes, wearing a dark cloak over her figure to hide her assets.

' it's been three months since the attack that killed my husband and my unborn child. My womb still hurts, but I will get over it. What I wasn't expecting was that the death of my child affecting my fifth spirit ring that I got by killing a cursed ghost, and helping in the evolution of my second spirit ring thread of the future. I used it in order to deduce and understand spirit abilities and spiritual power, now I can make a contract with other worlds and gain knowledge from them for completing different tasks, the only problem is the cooling down which may take from six months to sixty years. '

While Yue li was in her thoughts, she advanced toward her goal, the Arena.

Amidst the shadowed depths of Slaughter City lay a grim and merciless battleground known as the Hell Slaughter Arena. Here, the very essence of survival was pitted against the darkest facets of humanity's nature.

In the Arena's brutal embrace, ten individuals would enter, their fates interwoven by the threads of destiny. The rules were simple and unforgiving: only one could emerge victorious, while the rest would meet their demise in the unforgiving embrace of combat. Each battle within those blood-soaked confines marked a step closer to a title of profound significance. A single win, like a notch on the belt, and with every victorious step, the promise of transcendence grew.

One hundred such wins was the coveted threshold, a milestone that would christen its achiever as the Champion of the Hell Slaughter Arena. This title was no mere token; it came laden with rewards, prestige, and the highest of accolades. But beyond the material riches, the ultimate prize was a coveted invitation from the enigmatic Slaughter King, who watched from the shadows.

For those who merely wished to witness the brutal dance of survival in the Hell Slaughter Arena, an admission fee was exacted, as though purchasing a glimpse into the very abyss. One cup of Bloody Mary was the cost, a grim reminder of the sacrifices made within. And so, the Arena stood as a testament to the relentless pulse of life and death, where only the strongest could hope to conquer the relentless tides of fate.

Yue li had a simple goal for coming here, and that was to grow far stronger than what her potential would have allowed her. Under normal circumstances, such a thing would have been impossible even for her, but her new ability opened up a path for herself.

Before entering Slaughter city she had made a contract with a world that have a special kind of people, immortal cultivators that absorbed the qi of the heaven and earth in order to strengthen themselves, manipulate the elements, achieving longevity and finely reaching the divine realm.

In that world, they were Taoist, Daoist, demonic cultivators, beasts, demons, and the object of her quest, devils.

She had reincarnated as a spider demon and was tasked to seal, kill or trap several devil nests and stop the devilish dimension from fully invading the world, which took her more than five thousand years of both work and cultivation reaching the highest realm in that world before she sacrified her body and cultivation to fully suppress the invaders.

During that time, she had figured out the principle of more than two thousand different kinds of cultivation techniques and even walked her own path.
