After several days of dedicated study, Qian Renshang finally made a breakthrough.
He discovered that a mysterious energy called "Dark Abyss Power" was hidden within the Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel Martial Soul.
This energy was deeply buried in the core of the Martial Soul, usually concealed, but when he circulated his soul power through specific channels, the "Dark Abyss Power" would be awakened.
Qian Renshang attempted to guide this power, but found it unruly and prone to backfiring if he was not careful.
However, Qian Renshang did not back down. With his indomitable will, he tried again and again to tame the "Dark Abyss Power."
"To become a god, one must still become a god."
Qian Renshang knew that on his path to becoming a Fallen Angel, a soul was an indispensable key element, and the more the better.
As a level 99 Peerless Douluo, he already possessed a certain advantage on the path to godhood, having passed the first eight trials for the Fallen Angel Godhood directly.
However, the crucial ninth trial required not only a massive amount of souls but also the accumulation of immense malice and other negative emotions to meet the requirements for godhood.
Qian Renshang pondered for a long time, and suddenly a place appeared in his mind—the City of Slaughter.
It was a hell filled with blood and sin, where countless vicious and wicked individuals gathered, sinking into depravity in life-or-death battles.
In that mad land, souls grew wildly like weeds, and malice flowed like an endless river, undoubtedly an excellent testing ground for completing the ninth trial.
"It seems I must go to the City of Slaughter."
Qian Renshang had originally planned to rush to the City of Slaughter as soon as he returned to the Star Dou Great Forest to make final preparations for his attempt to ascend to the Fallen Angel Godhood.
However, Bibi Dong's sudden attack disrupted his plans, followed by Qian Renxue's arrival to demand an explanation.
This series of unexpected events caused his journey to be postponed repeatedly.
But after the fierce battle with Qian Renxue, Qian Renshang deeply realized that becoming a god was now of paramount importance.
Without becoming a god, he would always be at a disadvantage against these opponents with god-level power, not only endangering his own life but also endangering his companions.
At this moment, Qian Renshang did not hesitate at all and resolutely set off towards the City of Slaughter.
"Uncle Di Tian... you guys wait here. Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong probably won't be here anytime soon..."
Qian Renshang reminded Di Tian and the others.
Everything was ready.
He moved like lightning, swiftly traversing the mountains and forests, creating gusts of wind in his wake.
As he drew closer to the City of Slaughter, a pungent stench of blood filled the air, as if warning everyone who approached of the danger.
Qian Renshang remained unmoved, his gaze growing ever more resolute.
Finally, he arrived at the entrance to the City of Slaughter.
It was a massive black vortex, its surface flashing with an eerie red light, like a giant demonic eye, watching Qian Renshang intently.
The surrounding space was distorted and warped by the vortex, and a chilling aura emanated from it.
Qian Renshang took a deep breath, circulating his soul power to conceal his presence to the extreme.
He knew that in the City of Slaughter, the slightest carelessness could expose him and bring about his demise.
Then, without hesitation, he stepped into the black vortex.

In an instant, Qian Renshang felt dizzy, as if the whole world had turned upside down.
When he finally regained his balance, he found himself in a dimly lit space.
Thick fog filled the surroundings, and eerie wails and howls echoed from within it, as if countless wronged souls were wandering there.
"This is the City of Slaughter..."
Qian Renshang muttered to himself.
