Douluo Dragon King: I am the Lord of the Abyss, the King of Eternal Night.

Chapter 168 The Blood River God-Slaying Array is Complete! The Complete Secret of the True Form!

Seeing the Ant King's calm and composed demeanor, the Six-Clawed Demon King couldn't help but scratch his head in frustration.

After more than half a year, thanks to the selfless dedication and voluntary efforts of countless members of their clan, they have completed the Blood River God-Slaying Array.

The clansmen are truly useful and affordable...

However, ever since the Ant King returned to the Abyss Plane, the two of them have found that they can no longer contact their master.

And during these six months, they did not receive any instructions from their lord.

Due to the mandatory nature of the Shadow Monarch Martial Soul, they could not enter Douluo Continent without Jiang Xiu's permission and could only leave messages for him.

"Don't rush, don't rush," the Ant King gently reassured her while checking the Blood River God-Slaying Array for any loopholes.

"How can we not be anxious? Emperor Ba went to the first few levels of the throne half a month ago to spar with Emperor Lie and offer tribute. He will return no later than the day after tomorrow. He will pass through this necessary route. If the Lord does not arrive by then, all our efforts will be in vain!"

The Six-Clawed Demon Emperor placed his hands on the Ant Emperor's shoulders, his eyes fixed on the Ant Emperor, and spoke in a deep voice, word by word.

Their Blood River God-Slaying Array was set up specifically for Emperor Ba.

"Our lord must have his own reasons. We just need to do our own thing," the Ant King said softly, knocking away the six-clawed arm.

Ever since he witnessed his lord Jiang Xiu's scheme, he believed that his lord would never leave any loopholes in such a crucial matter, so his lord must have his own arrangements.

"Hmm?" The Six-Clawed Demon Emperor was slightly taken aback, his eyes narrowing as he looked at the Ant King suspiciously and asked, "Are you hiding something from me again? Did the Master give you other instructions that you didn't tell me?"

"As brothers, in my heart, when have I ever lied to you?" the Ant King said with a pained expression.

The Six-Clawed Demon Emperor rolled his eyes at him and said irritably, "When have you ever not lied to me? You always enjoy the good times while I bear the bad ones."

"Don't worry, there's absolutely nothing to hide this time. The master must have other matters to attend to, or perhaps this is a test for us. We just need to do our job well." Seeing that he couldn't fool the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor, the Ant King stopped wasting his expressions.

However, what he didn't tell the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor was that while setting up the Blood River God-Slaying Array, he had been secretly learning forging, and had now begun to comprehend and attempt soul forging...

“That’s true. Anyway, Emperor Ba will be passing through here the day after tomorrow, and we’ll know then.” The Six-Clawed Demon Emperor replied, but there was a deep worry in his eyes.

After all, there's only one chance per year.

They have already set up the Blood River God-Slaying Array, and if Emperor Ba discovers it, their chances of survival will only become slimmer.

"I hope I'm just worrying unnecessarily..."

……

Golden ancient tree.

Inside Jiang Xiu's meditation room.

The once vibrant life force in the air has now almost completely disappeared, the dazzling golden light has slowly dissipated, and the skull bones of the surrounding fear dragons have gradually dimmed.

But Jiang Xiu, who was in the center, was incredibly strange at this moment. His whole body was filled with a surging aura, the Eye of Life between his eyebrows was shining brightly, and there was a green vine woven from branches on his forehead.

A strange turquoise-gold soul ring surrounded his body. The ring was turquoise in color, with a faint golden glow emanating from it, and a golden pattern running through it.

The ancient tree behind them seemed to solidify, radiating a rich vitality and a noble air unique to plants.

The two obviously appeared together.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, a slight tremor emanated from the space, followed by the disappearance of the ancient tree and the azure-gold soul ring, and the Eye of Life between the eyebrows gradually closed.

Jiang Xiu slowly opened his eyes, a flash of emerald green crossing his deep purple eyes, disappearing in an instant like lightning. "I...I've entered a state of enlightenment?" Jiang Xiu asked, slightly opening his mouth as he sensed the changes within himself.

After nearly half a year of silence, Jiang Xiu suddenly spoke, his voice surprisingly hoarse.

But soon, Jiang Xiu's expression changed, and a surprised smile appeared on his handsome face.

He discovered that his cultivation level had reached the Soul Sect level, and he still had a large amount of soul power accumulated in his body. If he hadn't failed to acquire a second soul spirit, he would have already broken through to the Soul Sect level.

With all that accumulated soul power, once he acquires his second soul spirit, he can directly leap several levels.

After all, Jin Lao transferred the power of origin through him, so more or less some of the power of origin would remain in his body.

Keep in mind that he is only eleven years old now. After breaking through to the Soul Master level, he will become an eleven-year-old Soul Master with the ultimate attribute, which is unique in the entire Soul Master world.

Even at the age of eleven, Huo Yuhao had just finished a solo kill against the Wind Baboon.

However, what pleased Jiang Xiu the most was not the improvement in soul power, but the change in mental power.

Although he hasn't tested his mental strength yet, he believes it will definitely not be lower than 3,000 points. His mental sea has already evolved into a true "ocean," which is a manifestation of the boundless spiritual sea realm.

Once his spiritual sea truly transforms into a spiritual ocean and he breaks through five thousand points of spiritual power, he can enter the next spiritual realm of spiritual power.

The spiritual power of the Spirit Abyss Realm is sufficient to absorb a soul spirit of 100,000 years.

"It seems you've had quite a haul this time." As the light elements converged, Elder Jin appeared, looking at Jiang Xiu with a broad smile.

"Thank you, Elder Jin." Upon seeing Elder Jin appear, Jiang Xiu stood up from the ground, bowed to Elder Jin, and expressed his gratitude.

Nourished by vitality, even after six months of meditation, Jiang Xiu's body remained at its peak and did not "rust".

"No need for formalities. This is helping you, and also helping myself," Old Jin said with a smile, though he was quite pleased with himself.

After all, no one wants to be the one they're sponsoring to be an ingrate.

"Half a year has passed now, so I won't bother you any longer," Jiang Xiu said, stretching his limbs.

When he realized he needed to enter a deep meditation state, he set a soul power reminder mark within his Shadow Monarch Martial Soul, which would gradually pull him out of the deep meditation state after six months.

After all, he hadn't forgotten his plan to refine the Ba Emperor.

"No rush, come on, let me give you some local specialties." Old Jin smiled slightly, and with a wave of his hand, a gate of light appeared, and at the end of this light was the treasure vault of Shrek Academy.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiu seemed to remember something, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he asked softly.

"Elder Jin, are there any secret manuals related to our Body Sect in the treasure vault located in Shrek Academy?"

"Your Body Sect's secret manuals?" Elder Jin paused upon hearing this, a hint of reminiscence flashing in his eyes, before carefully speaking:

"It seems that's true. It was brought by Huo Yuhao ten thousand years ago and given to Xuanzi, the current head of the Sea God Pavilion, and then placed in the Shrek Academy's treasury."

"Until nine thousand years ago, the remaining members of the Body Sect came to Shrek Academy, saying that the Body Sect had found a Soul Master who had awakened the Body Martial Soul and wanted to reclaim the Body Secret that belonged to the Body Sect."

"The then-patriarch of the Sea God Pavilion did return it, but it seems that what he returned was an incomplete engraved version. The true secret manual of the original body is still left at Shrek Academy."

"I remember that after this secret of the body was put into Shrek Academy's treasury, elders would often come to look through it..."

As Jiang Xiu listened to Elder Jin's account, a chilling light flashed in his eyes, and a murderous intent gradually brewed within him.

The original is at Shrek Academy, while the incomplete copy is at their Body Sect!
Excellent! Excellent! This is absolutely outrageous!
