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

Chapter 203 Star Luo Divine Artifact Vajra Bracelet, Plotting the Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd!
"That Thunderous Hell Vine is probably the oldest one in the world..." Jiang Xiu murmured to himself, recalling Zhang Geyang's information.

Zhang Geyang's family is the ruling family of the Spirit Transmission Tower in successive generations. Although it is not as powerful as the Leng family and the Qian Gu family, it can still be ranked in the second tier, and it is even the top family in the second tier.

Zhang Geyang was designated as the heir of the Zhang family from a young age, and the soul spirits prepared for him were all of the highest quality. Among them, because Zhang Geyang's martial soul required a powerful offensive soul spirit, the Zhang family searched the entire continent and found a ten-thousand-year-old Thunderous Hell Vine in a valley.

In Jiang Xiu's memory, the Thunderous Hell Vine, a type of soul beast, was extremely special. This race had great difficulty cultivating itself, but it could strengthen itself by absorbing lightning from nature.

Furthermore, by absorbing lightning during cultivation, the rate at which one's cultivation years increase will be several times or even dozens of times.

Even cultivating in the lightning for a year can increase one's lifespan by twenty or thirty years, just like the immortal herbs within the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

The reason why the Thunder Hell Vine can do this is because it has the bloodline of the Thunder God flowing through its body, just like the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, a soul beast.

But what brought it success also brought it down. The Thunderous Hell Vine absorbed a large amount of lightning, and after accumulating to a certain extent, it would explode because it could no longer control the lightning within its body.

Therefore, those members of the Thunderous Hell Vine race who can live for ten thousand years are already exceptionally gifted.

Furthermore, it seems that because the Thunderous Hell Vine, a soul beast, causes widespread disasters every time it absorbs lightning after ten thousand years, it is not tolerated by heaven and earth.

Therefore, even if there is a Thunderous Hell Vine with a cultivation of 100,000 years, it will be struck down by divine retribution when it breaks through the 100,000-year limit.

Born of thunder, and died of thunder.

To this day, no one in the Thunderous Hell Vine clan has surpassed 100,000 years of cultivation.

As for why the Thunderous Hell Vine was able to break through 100,000 years after Tang Wulin obtained it, it's because at that time, the Douluo Continent had already been taken over by the "Tang" family.

The Thunderous Hell Vine that Zhang Geyang absorbed was on the verge of "self-destruction." So, under the persuasion and promises of the Zhang family, the Thunderous Hell Vine, which was about to "self-destruct," finally agreed to become Zhang Geyang's soul spirit.

However, one of the conditions is that Zhang Geyang must help him break through 100,000 years of cultivation.

"Master, is this Zhang Geyang also affiliated with the Qian Gu family?" Na'er asked curiously.

“That’s right.” Leng Yaozhu nodded slightly, a hint of sternness flashing in her eyes, and said softly, “Furthermore, this Zhang Geyang is extremely ambitious and has long coveted my position as the deputy tower master of the headquarters.”

"If I'm not mistaken, the condition that the Qian Gu family promised to the Zhang family was that after completely crushing my Leng family, they would promise to let them take the position of deputy tower master."

After realizing the suppression from the Qian Gu family, she has already rallied in the past few years and returned to her former decisive and efficient ways. She has also conducted a lot of investigations into the Zhang family.

"When the time comes, it will be time for the identity of the Child of Nature to shine." Hearing this, Jiang Xiu was not worried, but a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Now, Zhang Geyang must know that when the Thunderous Hell Vine breaks through 100,000 years, it will attract a powerful divine punishment, so he has been restricting the Thunderous Hell Vine from absorbing the power of thunder.

Therefore, Zhang Geyang is now like a middle-aged, incompetent husband, and Lei Ming and Yan Yuteng have long been dissatisfied with Lei Ting's desires. Thus, the conflict between the two has been brewing for a long time.

Therefore, as long as he reveals his identity as the Child of Nature and can guarantee that the Thunderous Hell Vine will break through 100,000 years, there is a high probability that the Thunderous Hell Vine will be snatched away by him... cough...

Zhang Geyang possesses more than half of his strength, as well as some of his trump cards, in the Thunderous Hell Vine. Once the Thunderous Hell Vine leaves him, Zhang Geyang will be reduced from a top-tier Super Douluo to an ordinary Super Douluo, at which point he will be no longer a threat.

"Master, since you can't arrange for someone to be sent to the Star Luo Continent, why not do what Zhang Geyang did and find a reason to transfer him away from the Star Luo Continent?"

Na'er's eyes suddenly lit up, her intelligence regained its advantage, and she offered a plan.

Jiang Xiu glanced at Na'er in surprise.

Na'er seems to have become smarter, but not quite...

As expected, Leng Yaozhu smiled helplessly, "But Master can't transfer him out of the Star Luo Continent for the time being. Regardless of whether Qian Gu Dong Feng will stop him, just considering Zhang Ge Yang's foundation in the Star Luo Continent and his connection with the Star Luo royal family, I can't touch him."

"Oh~, I see." Na'er let out a slightly dejected "oh," and even the silver ahoge on her head tilted to one side.

Over the years, she had come to accept Leng Yaozhu as her master, and now that she saw her master working so hard for this, she, as his apprentice, wanted to help out.

"Boss, it seems you already knew?" Na'er glanced at Jiang Xiu out of the corner of her eye and saw that Jiang Xiu's expression was natural, as if he had expected it all along, so she couldn't help but ask curiously.

"The Spirit Pagoda was founded by Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, and now the Star Luo Royal Family is the White Tiger Dai Family. The two families have a close relationship. Moreover, the Zhang family ancestors were among the first families sent by the Spirit Pagoda to the Star Luo Continent to open a branch of the Spirit Pagoda."

Therefore, the Zhang family and the Star Luo royal family, the Dai family, have long had a relationship. After thousands of years of development, it's impossible for Aunt Leng to sever this relationship between the Zhang family and the royal family in a short time, nor is it possible for her to transfer Zhang Geyang away from the Star Luo Continent.

Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he slowly analyzed the situation.

Back when the Star Luo Empire was in the "War of the Five Gods," the relationship between the current Star Luo Empire Emperor Dai Tianling and Zhang Geyang was already quite unusual.

“Xiao Xiu is right.” Leng Yaozhu gave Jiang Xiu an appreciative look, then said:

"Although the Star Luo Empire was defeated by the Sun Moon Empire at that time, after so many years of development, its national strength is now quite remarkable. It not only has a Limit Douluo-level expert, but also a mysterious national treasure. It is obviously inappropriate to oppose it now."

Upon hearing the words "national treasure," a glint of light flashed in Jiang Xiu's deep eyes.

This national treasure of the Star Luo Empire is a crucial element in his acquisition of the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd, the ultimate artifact of the Abyss Saint King!

It can even help defeat the Eternal Family!
This national treasure is called the Vajra Bracelet! Its effect is simple and invincible: it can take away the weapon from the enemy's hand.

It can suppress even divine artifacts, soul tools, cold weapons, and even the weapon spirits of soul masters!

The Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd was born in the Abyss Plane and is the weapon of the Abyss Saint King, with whom it has a close connection.

Although it is currently in the hands of the Rift Emperor, it is not something he can use simply by defeating the Rift Emperor and seizing it.

The Vajra Bracelet happens to have the divine effect of severing the connection between the artifact and its host. He didn't know if the Vajra Bracelet could sever the relationship between the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd and the Abyss Saint King, but he believed that the Vajra Bracelet could definitely imprison the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd temporarily.

Therefore, he needs to find a way to get his hands on this national treasure in the future.

Furthermore, the Panlong Staff martial soul of the Qian Gu family is also a weapon martial soul, and it will also be restricted by the Vajra Bracelet.

This is probably one of the reasons why the ancient families do not send their direct descendants to the Star Luo Continent.

"If your Star Luo Empire could seize this divine artifact back then, so can I," Jiang Xiu murmured firmly to himself.

That's right, this artifact did not belong to the Star Luo Empire. Instead, it was obtained by the Star Luo Empire in the present-day Star Luo Continent after it was defeated by the Sun Moon Empire.

At that time, the Star Luo Continent had its own indigenous inhabitants, but these inhabitants were relatively backward and mostly lived in tribes.

Upon seeing the arrival of the Star Luo Empire, they all fought against these invaders. The Vajra Bracelet was held by an old chieftain of a tribe.

This divine artifact even once made the Title Douluo of the Star Luo Empire unable to raise their heads.

However, the Star Luo Empire's level of advancement far surpasses that of these tribes, so even if these tribes possessed this divine artifact, it would be of no use.

The Starfall Empire is fighting these tribes just as the Sun and Moon Empire did when it did.

It's a complete stomp on noobs, a one-sided beatdown.

Jiang Xiu even watched a documentary about this precious thing at the time.

Seeing that the weapon-type spirit masters were no match for the old chieftain, the Star Luo Empire sent out beast-type spirit masters to give the old chieftain a righteous beating.

In the documentary, the old chief could be heard muttering, "What a bitter pill to swallow."

In an instant, he was utterly destroyed by several titled Douluo of Beast Martial Souls.

The Star Luo Empire also had effective methods for dealing with these rebellious natives, directly assigning them to work in various manors and plantations.

There are also those who rebel, who receive 100 free draws upon logging in.

The strong and talented individuals of these tribes were even bought by various families after their defeat and transported from the Star Luo Continent across the ocean, becoming "best-selling items" at the time.

Jiang Xiu believes that the saying "the trend of history is a spiral upward" is quite true.

Unfortunately, these tribes happened to be part of the spiral, which led to the rise of the Star Luo Empire.

"Hey! Since the current Star Luo royal family, the Dai family, and the Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao are related by blood, why didn't Huo Yuhao have the surname 'Dai' back then?"

Na'er seemed to have discovered a blind spot and asked in surprise.

"How do you know Huo Yuhao doesn't have the surname Dai..." Jiang Xiu muttered to himself, but didn't say it aloud. After all, it was Huo Yuhao's surname after he ascended to the God Realm, and the people on the continent didn't know that.

"Alright, let's not talk about these things for now. Every hurdle is difficult, but we'll overcome it one step at a time," Leng Yaozhu said with a wave of her hand and a light laugh.

Just then, Jiang Xiu's communication soul tool suddenly rang.

Jiang Xiu took out his communication soul tool. After seeing the notes on it, his purple eyes flickered slightly, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Why would the Underworld Emperor call me?

Jiang Xiu was puzzled; this was clearly a call from the Underworld Emperor.

Could something big have happened?
Jiang Xiu looked at Leng Yaozhu and said apologetically, "Aunt Leng, I have something important to do, I'll go out for a bit."

“No problem,” Leng Yaozhu said with a radiant smile.

Jiang Xiu then got up and walked outside.

Looking at Jiang Xiu's youthful and spirited back, Leng Yaozhu's heart trembled slightly, as if she saw that familiar figure, but Jiang Xiu was obviously stronger than him.

"Grow up quickly..." Leng Yaozhu murmured to herself.
