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

Chapter 187 The Abyss King Wears Battle Armor? The Celestial Bull Emperor Who Eats Spirit Bamboo

Under the silent night sky, the dark clouds gradually dispersed, and the cool moonlight slowly shone down.

"Whoosh!" A thick, tall black shadow swept through the space, entering the Body Sect like flowing water.

Inside the house, Jiang Xiu, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes and quietly looked at the space in front of him.

In a short while, the figure of Ba Huang slowly appeared.

"How is it?" Jiang Xiu asked, raising his eyes slightly, his tone carrying a hint of coldness.

"Reporting to the master, that person was a Soul Master at the Limit Douluo demigod level, and also a four-word Battle Armor Master. After I fought with her for a while, she used a four-word Battle Armor. I didn't notice and she got away."

Ba Huang reported respectfully, then bowed slightly and said, "Your subordinate failed to capture this thief, please punish me, Your Majesty."

"It's alright. After all, with your current strength, you're still quite a distance from being a Limit Douluo who can use a four-word battle armor." Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed, and he waved his hand.

A Soul Master at the Limit Douluo demigod level, with the blessing of a four-word Battle Armor, can temporarily elevate their strength to a level comparable to a Limit Douluo quasi-god, which corresponds to the Ten Emperors of the Abyss.

Although he is definitely not as good as the Ten Emperors of the Abyss overall, it is normal that Emperor Ba cannot defeat him.

"My lord, it's not that I haven't fought before, it's just..." Realizing that his lord seemed to have misunderstood him, Emperor Ba hesitated for a moment before explaining:

"After activating the four-word battle armor, that person didn't engage his subordinates in combat; instead, he simply fled..."

When he said this, even Ba Huang himself sounded somewhat incredulous.

"Huh? They got away?" Jiang Xiu's expression froze, and a figure involuntarily surfaced in his mind. He then asked softly, "The person you fought earlier, did they possess the Dark Sacred Dragon Martial Soul?"

"My lord, how did you know?" Ba Huang was taken aback. "This thief not only possesses the Dark Sacred Dragon Martial Soul but also the Light Sacred Dragon Martial Soul."

"It really is you... Long Yeyue." Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu's forehead twitched slightly. He hadn't expected it to be the person he was thinking of.

When trouble comes, he runs away immediately; Long Paopao (a nickname for a runaway runner) consistently performs well.

No wonder he survived the Shrek Academy explosion; his escape skills are truly exceptional.

"But what is this old thing doing at the Body Sect?" Jiang Xiu wondered.

He knew quite a bit about Long Yeyue. She was the wife of the previous Sea God Pavilion Master, Tianjuan Douluo, and possessed the cultivation of a Limit Douluo. In her youth, she was also unruly and reckless, and could be considered an enhanced version of Cai Yue'er.

He once went to the Spirit Pagoda and slapped the then-pagoda master.

This slap shattered the already fragile relationship between Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda.

Thinking of Long Yeyue's various "heroic deeds," Jiang Xiu's slightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed, and a sense of relief appeared in his eyes. He simply couldn't fathom Long Yeyue's thought process.

If Long Yeyue were to become a Wallfacer, even the Trisolarans wouldn't be able to figure her out.

However, since he can't solve the problem, Jiang Xiu plans to deal with Long Yeyue directly when he has the strength in the future.

If there are no troublemakers, there will be no trouble.

"My lord, although she escaped, I did leave her with some minor injuries." Seeing his lord frown, Emperor Ba thought it was because he had failed in his duty, so he quickly said.

This job is much simpler than the Ant King's and Six Claws' jobs, and he doesn't want to be fired the same day he takes office.

"Oh? Tell me about it." Jiang Xiu raised an eyebrow, showing a hint of interest.

"I devoured half of her Dark Sacred Dragon Martial Soul essence..." Ba Huang said tentatively, licking his lips at the same time.

Long Yeyue's martial soul essence is really rich; it's crunchy when swallowed, and its energy is dozens of times that of the abyss elixir.

"Hmm? You swallowed her martial soul essence?" Jiang Xiu paused for a moment, then looked at Ba Huang with a smile in his eyes.

The importance of a Martial Soul's origin to a Soul Master is naturally paramount. If Long Yeyue had half of her Martial Soul's origin devoured, she would definitely suffer severe damage, and her foundation might even become unstable.

Therefore, Long Yeyue will not be able to heal for at least three years.

At this moment, a glint of light flashed in Jiang Xiu's purple eyes as he noticed Ba Huang's change. "Has your strength increased again after you devoured the martial soul's origin?"

"Your Majesty, I have indeed improved my strength considerably, but I am still somewhat lacking in the realm of Limit Douluo Quasi-God..." Emperor Ba replied truthfully, even with a hint of regret:
"If there is enough dragon essence or corpses, I can keep getting stronger by devouring them."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu's heart stirred slightly, and he instantly thought of a place where many dragon corpses lay...

There are quite a few even at the god-level.

According to his current assessment, Ba Huang has an extremely high potential, because Ba Huang possesses a terrifying regenerative bloodline talent and the power of devouring, allowing him to devour without worrying about getting injured.

As for the bloodline conflict in the underlying code, Ba Huang has already proven by devouring the black dragon's corpse that he can completely offset it with his regeneration talent.

If one possesses enough dragon remains, one could even serve as a general when facing the Great Gods in the future.

Immediately, Jiang Xiu said softly, "In the future, I will give you an opportunity. There will be plenty of dragons there. As for whether you can seize it, that's up to you." "Thank you, my lord!" Upon hearing this, Ba Huang was first taken aback, then bowed excitedly.

On his first day under the master's command, he devoured the origin of the Dark Holy Dragon Martial Soul, and now the master is going to give him another opportunity.

Indeed, the Lord's kindness is never enough!

"By the way, where did Long Yeyue go after you severely injured her?" Jiang Xiu waved his hand and asked in a clear voice.

"Hmm... she didn't return to Shrek City, but instead ran towards the southern horizon," Ba Huang said carefully.

“Southern…” Jiang Xiu’s eyes suddenly deepened.

The fact that Long Yeyue did not return to Shrek Academy for treatment proves that Shrek Academy was unaware of her actions. Besides Shrek Academy, the only other organization Long Yeyue could turn to is the Sea God Legion, which is located in the south.

To be precise, it was Chen Xinjie, the commander of the Poseidon Legion.

"I wonder how you plan to help Long Yeyue recover. It's not easy to recover from a damage to one's source," Jiang Xiu murmured.

He was quite certain that Chen Xinjie would not stand by and watch Long Yeyue die, after all, Chen Xinjie still had some "deep feelings" for Long Yeyue, and the title of Shrek Academy's Sweeper Monk was not given lightly.

Even back then, Chen Xinjie was able to allow Tang Wulin to steal the last level 12 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell from the Federation because of Long Yeyue.

It can be said that the Federation had a total of three level 12 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, and Chen Xinjie, the commander of the legion, failed to defend even one of them.

Using Federation resources to help Shrek Academy, they are treating the Federation like a clown.

"I wonder if Long Yeyue can weaken your strength because of this..." Jiang Xiu murmured. Chen Xinjie wanted to treat Long Yeyue, and even though he was a Limit Douluo Quasi-God, he would definitely have to pay a price.

Although Chen Xinjie flattered someone a bit, his strength is undeniable. He is a genuine top expert on the continent and also possesses the divine artifact, the Helmet of the Sea God.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiu shook his head slightly. It would be best to weaken Chen Xinjie, but if that wasn't possible, then he would wait until Chen Xinjie's strength increased in the future.

"By the way, my lord, do you think it's possible for us Abyss Kings to wear battle armor?" Suddenly, Emperor Ba asked tentatively.

After Long Yeyue donned the battle armor, his strength skyrocketed. This level of improvement was incredibly tempting for him.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly as he said, "Battle armor can be considered armor worn by Soul Masters. Since you were originally creatures of the abyss, it was impossible for you to wear battle armor."

"But now that you've transformed into shadows, you can try to find the Ant King and have him tailor-make a few suits of battle armor for you."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ba Huang said respectfully, a hint of excitement appearing in his eyes.

In order to increase their strength, we have no choice but to make things difficult for the Ant King.

"Remember, when you get back, don't forget the important matter: lure the Heavenly Bull Emperor out of the tenth level of the abyss," Jiang Xiu instructed earnestly, his tone becoming serious.

The Ten Emperors of the Abyss are the main figures in the Abyss Plane, and they must not let trivial matters delay important matters.

"Your subordinate understands!" Emperor Ba nodded emphatically, then, as if remembering something, he guessed:
"As far as I know, the Heavenly Bull Emperor is rather honest and simple. He usually likes to eat some abyssal spiritual herbs and occasionally goes to other abyssal races to get some. Perhaps we can use this angle to lure him out."

"Oh, by the way, the Heavenly Bull Emperor has a particular fondness for bamboo-based medicinal herbs..."

"Bamboo? Cows eat bamboo?" Jiang Xiu paused, somewhat puzzled.

The identity and hobbies of this mount are increasingly resembling those of a certain black and white species.

"Your Majesty, you may not know this, but the environment of the Abyss Plane is quite harsh, and there are very few Abyss plants growing there. When the Heavenly Bull Emperor first invaded Douluo Continent, he seemed to have tasted this kind of plant-type soul beast, so he remembered it," Ba Huang explained.

The Ba royal family often fought alongside the guardian celestial beetle, and he had a fairly comprehensive understanding of the celestial beetle emperor's habits.

"Also, the bamboo-based medicinal herbs should be of sufficient age."

Finally, Ba Huang added one more sentence.

“Alright, you just need to confirm the feasibility of this plan. As for the bamboo-based medicinal herbs, I can handle that,” Jiang Xiu said, waving his hand.

He definitely wants to bring the Heavenly Bull Emperor, with his absolute defense, under his command.

If the Heavenly Bull Emperor, who is also the mount, were to betray the Abyss Saint, he believed the Abyss Saint's expression would be quite delightful.

However, soul beasts are now almost extinct on the continent, and bamboo-type soul beasts with a certain age are even more difficult to find. The only place Jiang Xiu could think of was the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

There are countless aged herbs and medicinal plants there.

"As you command, my lord, I will return and gather some abyssal spiritual herbs to test the Heavenly Bull Emperor," Ba Huang said solemnly.

"Hmm." Jiang Xiu nodded slightly, then slowly closed his eyes and continued to meditate and receive the feedback.

Tomorrow, he will go to the Spirit Pagoda to fuse with his second soul spirit, the scorpion tiger whose bloodline is about to revert to its ancestral form.
