A condensed beam of blood-red light, like a bolt of crimson lightning, shot out instantly and pierced into Chen Xin's brow!

"Well--!"

Chen Xin suddenly tilted his head back and let out a painful groan.

His entire body trembled violently, and beneath his skin, countless blood-red runes seemed to be moving.

The Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul behind him was completely enveloped by a dense blood-red light!

Click... Click...

A crisp cracking sound came from the Seven Kill Sword, but it was not a collapse, but a transformation!

Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, the bloody light dissipated, and a brand-new longsword reappeared behind Chen Xin.

The sword's form remains that of the Seven Kill Sword. However, the entire blade has been tinged with an eerie dark red, and mysterious blood-red divine patterns swirl and spread across the edge, flowing slowly as if they were alive.

Where the sword's edge pointed, that unstoppable killing intent had now perfectly merged with that overwhelming killing god's will!

Its quality and level have reached... a demigod-level martial soul?

A demigod's artifact!

When Chen Xin slowly opened his eyes, his soul power level did not increase again, but his aura was several times stronger than when he was level ninety-eight!

The light from the altar slowly faded, and Chen Xin stepped down from it, feeling the new power within his body, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

He had just received the power of faith from a deity, along with the accompanying legacy information.

God of Slaughter!

At that very moment, feedback from the altar of faith also rang in Ning Liu's mind.

[It has been detected that the trial participant "Chen Xin" has a high degree of compatibility with the second-level god "God of Slaughter" in Douluo Continent. The power of the God of Slaughter's faith has been drawn in, and the divine succession has begun.]

The trial participant's martial spirit, "Seven Kill Sword," was baptized by divine power and evolved into the semi-divine artifact, "Seven Kill Divine Sword."

Ning Liu's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

It's done.

But... it seems to be different from what he expected.

God of Slaughter?

Why is he called the God of Slaughter?

Sword Douluo spent his life seeking the sword, and his path was pure and unwavering. Logically speaking, shouldn't the most suitable person be a "Sword God"?

Could it be that there are no gods wielding "swords" in the Douluo God Realm at all?

Or is it that... the essence of the Seven Kill Sword was never a "sword" from the beginning, but rather "killing"?
