Douluo Continent: The Ten Kings of Hell, I am the Emperor of the Underworld

Chapter 108 The Target is the Silver Dragon King; Xiong Jun Has Enlightened Himself

"Lord Xiong, please spare us."

In the Star Dou Great Forest, the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python have shrunk considerably, their auras are weak and listless, and the formidable ferocity they once possessed as 100,000-year-old soul beasts is now completely gone.

"Spare you? Hurry up and continue releasing your life essence."

The Titan Ape and the Azure Bull Python lowered their heads weakly, continuing their slow death.

They did try to escape, but Xiong Jun twisted off all four of their limbs and beat them half to death.

Suddenly, they noticed that Xiong Jun, who had been lazily sitting up, suddenly sat up, sniffed around, and his eyes were shining.

"That's right, it smells like the Road to the Underworld. I'm absolutely not mistaken. My lord has come to the Star Dou Great Forest again. This time, I must latch onto his coattails."

Xiong Jun was extremely excited and was about to lift his leg to the location he sensed the path to the underworld was leading to.

He had just lifted his foot when he turned back to look at the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Ape.

"Bear... Mr. Bear, what are you doing?"

"No...don't come any closer, Lord Xiong, please don't come any closer."

"Ah~"

The bones of the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Ape, which were almost fully healed, were broken again by Xiong Jun.

"Stay here and don't even think about running away."

After saying that, Xiong Jun started running towards the direction where the Yellow Springs Road would lead.

The Azure Bull Python and the Titan Ape lay limp on the ground, barely alive, unable to move even slightly, let alone escape.

"Big brother, are we really going to die?" the Titan Ape asked weakly.

"Hey~"

The Azure Bull Python sighed deeply, offering no reply, but that was tantamount to giving the most certain answer.

The two soul beasts looked up at the sky, their lifeless eyes vaguely recalling the carefree days of the past. How did they end up like this?
At the Lake of Life, Di Tian, ​​who had just entered a deep slumber, was disturbed once again and emerged from the lake.

"Why are you here again? What brings you here this time?"

Is it really that hard to get some sleep? I finally drifted off to sleep, and then I got woken up again.

Di Tian looked at Ning Qiuyang with displeasure. No one would be happy to be awakened from a deep sleep.

Moreover, Ning Qiuyang doesn't come here unless he has a reason. The Star Dou Great Forest is almost plundered, so who knows who he's targeting this time?

"Hehe, I have a divine position here. Is the Beast God interested?"

"God's position?"

Di Tian swallowed hard, and his morning grumpiness vanished instantly.

The reason he was able to refuse the position of the Prison Suppressor Beast was because he didn't understand the role of the Prison Suppressor Beast. Although becoming the Prison Suppressor Beast could convert divine power, there was no divine inheritance.

In addition, he also had the duty to protect the Silver Dragon King, so he restrained his impulse and endured it.

But Ning Qiuyang brought a true divine position this time, and even with his duties to fulfill, Di Tian couldn't help but feel very tempted.

He glanced into the depths of the Lake of Life, his heart filled with turmoil.

No, I cannot abandon my lord.

In the end, the duty of the dragon race prevailed, and Di Tian could not betray the Silver Dragon King.

"My lord, my lord, I, Old Bear, have been waiting for you for so long."

Worried that Ning Qiuyang would come and go in a hurry again, Xiong Jun ran as fast as he could.

Di Tian's eyelids twitched suddenly.

This Bear Lord is a bear in the Star Dou Great Forest, but his heart is in the underworld. Could it be any more obvious? He directly addresses you as "Master"?

Ning Qiuyang was also speechless at Xiong Jun's flattery.

Is this still the same hot-tempered, unruly bear? It's practically a domesticated giant bear.

"My lord, I've been waiting for you! I really want to follow you. Please give me a chance." Xiong Jun looked at Ning Qiuyang pitifully, like a pet waiting for its master's praise.

Ning Qiuyang still admired this ferocious beast that so desperately wanted to follow him.

"Yes, I am very satisfied with your attitude, and I have also seen your loyalty."

Xiong Jun was immediately overjoyed.

Finally, finally the Lord has seen my unwavering loyalty. It's been so hard-won.

"My lord, may I go with you to the underworld this time to serve you?"

Under Xiong Jun's expectant gaze, Ning Qiuyang slowly shook his head.

Ning Qiuyang wasn't lying. Of the Five Directions Purgatory, the Blazing Inferno was definitely not suitable for Xiong Jun, as he didn't have any fire attribute abilities.

As for the Myriad Beasts Purgatory, the lord of the purgatory is not just any soul beast; it must meet the requirements of the lord of all beasts.

In the entire Star Dou Great Forest, besides Di Tian, ​​only the Silver Dragon King meets the requirements.

One of them is the Beast God of the Star Dou Great Forest, and the other can be considered the Lord of Soul Beasts. If we really compare them, the Silver Dragon King is more suitable for the position of Lord of the Myriad Beast Purgatory.

Ning Qiuyang's true target was the Silver Dragon King.

"Don't worry, I've taken note of your performance and I know what to do with you. Just stay in the Star Dou Great Forest for now, and I'll arrange a good position for you."

"Yes, my lord, I, Old Bear, have noted it all down and will be ready to await your summons at any time."

When Ning Qiuyang shook his head, Xiong Jun was filled with disappointment.

But when he heard that Ning Qiuyang had made arrangements for him, he immediately perked up. Being valued so highly by his lord meant that he was to be entrusted with an important task.

What's there to be afraid of waiting a little longer? Those who rushed ahead like the Crimson King and the Demon King will surely catch up and surpass me once I enter the Underworld.

Di Tian, ​​who was watching from the sidelines, felt that he had learned something.

Although he didn't know what "drawing a pie in the sky" meant, the principle was the same. He felt that his method of ruling soul beasts by force was too simplistic.

Xiong Jun was bubbling with joy, while Ning Qiuyang continued to say to Di Tian:

“I know why you hesitated. Have you considered that if the Silver Dragon King were to enter the underworld and receive the nourishment of a divine position, her wounds would heal faster and her power would be restored more quickly?”

"This……"

Di Tian understood this principle, but once the Silver Dragon King entered the underworld and received the divine inheritance, he would become Ning Qiuyang's subordinate.

Wouldn't that make him a subordinate of a subordinate, two levels lower than others?

“I cannot make the decision for the Lord. I will go and tell the Lord whether or not He is willing to join Hades. It is entirely up to the Lord to decide.”

After saying that, Di Tian transformed into his true form as the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King and plunged into the Lake of Life.

"My lord, are you trying to recruit Lord Silver Dragon King into the underworld?"

Xiong Jun asked cautiously.

According to their status, the Silver Dragon King, the ruler of all soul beasts, should be Xiong Jun's master.

However, with his master severely injured, both revenge and creating a better living space for soul beasts are things that are far from being realized.

In comparison, although Ning Qiuyang is not a soul beast, whether it is saving soul beasts from heavenly tribulations, or enabling soul beasts to convert divine power or even possess divine positions, either of these is more worthy of the soul beasts' submission than the Silver Dragon King, the sovereign of all soul beasts.

In any case, if Xiong Jun had to choose between Ning Qiuyang and the Silver Dragon King, he would definitely choose to pledge allegiance to Ning Qiuyang without hesitation.

What else do you, Silver Dragon King, have besides your status? Only those who can bring tangible benefits to soul beasts deserve to be the ruler of all soul beasts.

Suddenly, Xiong Jun felt he had an epiphany.

Why did the Lord allow me to stay in the Star Dou Great Forest instead of entering the Underworld? Was it so that I could spread His love and kindness to the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest?
Yes, that must be the case.

I must ensure that the Lord's great achievements are remembered by every soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest, and that the Lord's light shines upon every soul beast.

"loyalty!"
