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

Chapter 212 Ghost Emperor: The Underworld Emperor is a loyal subject!
"Drip drip!"

Just then, Jiang Xiu's communication soul tool rang. Jiang Xiu took it out and saw that it was the Underworld Emperor calling.

As soon as the connection was established, the voice of the Underworld Emperor rang out from the other end of the communication channel: "The inner core of the Scorpion Tiger has been obtained. We will meet at the agreed location later."

"Got it?!" Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed, and he muttered to himself before replying, "Okay, I'll leave the academy now."

"Hmm." The Underworld Emperor gave a soft "hmm" and then hung up the communication soul tool.

"Now that we have the Scorpion Tiger's inner core, it means that Qian Gu Dong Feng should be beaten up by fists and feet, right?" Jiang Xiu's lips curled up, as if he had thought of something.

Qian Gu Dongfeng stayed in Shrek City for two years, but in the end, he still couldn't escape the fate of being beaten.

"With this inner core, I believe the power of the Demonic Transformation will increase even further..."

After tidying up the things in the forging room, Jiang Xiu headed out of Shrek Academy.

……

Shrek City.

A luxurious tavern, in a private room.

"Bang bang bang!" There was a knock on the door.

The Underworld Emperor, who was sitting inside sipping red wine, narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he could see the person who had come in through the door. Then, he waved his hand lightly, and the door opened.

"Your Majesty the Underworld Emperor." Jiang Xiu greeted the Underworld Emperor with a smile, then closed the door and sat down opposite him.

"Not bad, you're only thirteen years old this year, yet you've already reached the level of a level fifty-five Soul King." The Underworld Emperor looked at Jiang Xiu, a glint of light flashing in his gray eyes.

"Moreover, I remember that you possess dual extreme attribute martial souls, yet you've cultivated so quickly?"

He remembered that there was also a Soul Master with extreme attributes in Shrek Academy who was only at the Soul King level at the age of eighteen. Compared to that, Jiang Xiu's cultivation was extremely rapid.

Furthermore, as far as he knew, Jiang Xiu's combat strength was significantly greater than his cultivation level.

"It was just a lucky breakthrough."

Jiang Xiu waved his hand and said modestly.

What the Underworld Emperor didn't know was that, apart from his cultivation level, his other four professions had already reached the peak of level five. Among them, the Mecha Maker and Blacksmith professions, thanks to the presence of the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor and the Ant Emperor, were already comparable to level seven, except for the difference in cultivation level.

"No need to be modest. The reason I was able to break through to the Title Douluo level at the age of nineteen is because of the special nature of my Martial Soul. It seems that your talent is even above mine. Perhaps your speed of breaking through to the Title Douluo level may be even faster than mine." The Underworld Emperor shook his head slightly and said.

Jiang Xiu smiled but remained silent.

He hasn't gone to the Abyss Passage and the Demon Dimension yet. When he goes there, with the constant extraction of Shadow and Shadow King's feedback, his cultivation speed will only be faster.

"This is the Scorpion Tiger Inner Core you requested." The Underworld Emperor put down his wine cup, and with a flash of light in his hand, a jade box was pushed in front of Jiang Xiu.

Jiang Xiu's eyes lit up slightly, and he slowly opened the jade box.

The moment the jade box was opened, a burst of bluish-purple light shot out, revealing a jet-black inner core lying quietly inside, covered with strange bluish-purple patterns and faintly surrounded by lightning.

And this was none other than the inner core that his soul spirit, the Scorpion Tiger, had lost.

This inner core is of great use to him; it can not only strengthen his body but also deepen his demonic transformation and enhance his close combat power.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Underworld Emperor." Jiang Xiu put away the jade box and bowed slightly.

"There's no need for such formalities between us," the Underworld Emperor said, waving his hand. Since the spirit of the old plane had chosen Jiang Xiu, he would naturally assist him.

"During the process of seizing the inner core, Qian Gu Dong Feng didn't discover Your Majesty's identity, did he?" Jiang Xiu asked softly.

After all, apart from the high-ranking members of the Holy Spirit Cult, no one in the world knows that the Underworld Emperor is still alive. If his identity is not exposed, it will be much easier for the Underworld Emperor to do things in secret.

"No." A disdainful smile appeared on the corner of the Underworld Emperor's mouth. "This Thousand-Year East Wind is far inferior to his father's."

"It is clearly the Panlong Staff martial spirit that can fight against heaven and earth, but in his hands it is timid and cowardly, and he doesn't even dare to face death. How could he possibly unleash the Panlong Staff's maximum attack power?"

He had once died at the hands of Qian Gu Die Ting, so he naturally knew Qian Gu Die Ting very well. However, Qian Gu Dong Feng was far inferior to Qian Gu Die Ting in both cultivation and will.

"However, while retrieving the inner core this time, I encountered an interesting fellow," the Underworld Emperor said with interest, taking a sip of red wine.

"Who?" Jiang Xiu was slightly curious. Who would bump into the Underworld Emperor?
“That Beast God Di Tian,” the Underworld Emperor said softly, “is also after the Eternal East Wind, and it seems he also wants to get something from it.”

"It's just that she's too good at keeping her promises..."

If Di Tian were here to hear these words, he would surely jump up and down in anger.

It's not that he's too good at keeping his promises; it's clearly that the Underworld Emperor is too bad at keeping his promises.

In terms of credibility, Di Tian was like a greenhorn in front of the Underworld Emperor...

"Beast God Emperor Tian? Taking something?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu raised an eyebrow slightly, a thunderbolt flashing through his mind, and an idea surged into his heart.

"Could it be that Na'er also sent Di Tian to compete with Qian Gu Dong Feng for the inner core?"

The more Jiang Xiu thought about it, the more likely it seemed, since only the three of them knew about the inner core that day.

As a warm feeling welled up in his heart, Jiang Xiu also observed three seconds of silence for the eternal East Wind.

When the Underworld Emperor and Emperor Tian came knocking on his door, Qian Gu Dongfeng must have been incredibly happy. The scene was too beautiful to imagine.

"By the way, Underworld Emperor, I've figured out how to enter the Demon Dimension." Suppressing his thoughts, Jiang Xiu looked at the Underworld Emperor and said.

"Oh? You have a solution?" Upon hearing this, the Underworld Emperor leaned forward slightly, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

He knew that this demonic plane held the key to his godhood.

“That’s right. When the time is right, the Demon Realm will come to us without us having to go looking for it,” Jiang Xiu said meaningfully.

The Demon Realm is currently coveting the Douluo Continent. As long as the coordinates of the Douluo Continent are provided to the Demon Realm, a certain Demon Lord will actively construct a Demon Portal and descend upon the Douluo Continent.

What they need to do then is to let them accept their situation as it is.

Then, they would enter the demon plane through the demon passage to find the opportunity for the Underworld Emperor to become a god.

"However, there are also several Demon Lords who are Limit Douluo Quasi-Gods in the Demon Dimension. If we want to go in, we need to be wary of them," Jiang Xiu said softly.

"At that time, we can adopt a strategy of winning over some of these monarchs, dividing others, and suppressing others, and then take control of the demon plane."

"There's no need for such trouble." After Jiang Xiu finished speaking, the Underworld Emperor waved his hand and said:
"At that time, we will crush them directly and let these demons die if they disobey."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu was slightly taken aback and clicked his tongue in surprise.

It's as if I can already see that future scene:
A demon lord collapsed before the Underworld Emperor, roaring with heart-wrenching agony, "What about demons? Do demons deserve to die?"

Then the Underworld Emperor said indifferently, "If you don't die, am I supposed to die?"

Then, the Underworld Emperor killed the Demon Lord with a single sword strike.

Based on Jiang Xiu's understanding of the Underworld Emperor, the Underworld Emperor was clearly someone who preferred to listen rather than talk; he was a man of action who would never waste words.

“Hesitate.” Since the Underworld Emperor had said so, he naturally had no objection.

However, a problem now lies before Jiang Xiu: they can only provide coordinates to the Demon Plane after Yuanen Yehui breaks through to the Title Douluo level, but clearly they don't have much time left.

Whether it's turning Da Ming and Er Ming into shadows, or restraining and dealing with Tang Hao and A Yin, he wants to make the Underworld Emperor become a god as soon as possible.

Furthermore, after Hades became a god, he was even more confident in bombing Shrek Academy and imprisoning Ah Yin.

"I should ask Mr. Jin about this," Jiang Xiu thought to himself.

If you're unsure what to do, just ask Mr. Jin.

"Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure," which perfectly describes Mr. Jin.

In fact, he already had an idea in mind: if he possessed the Transformation Emperor's bloodline talent [Thousand Transformations], and imitated the demonic bloodline within Yuanen Yehui's Fallen Angel Martial Soul, he could also send the coordinates of Douluo Continent to the Demonic Plane.

After all, the Transformation Emperor's bloodline talent of "Thousand Transformations" imitates the essence of energy, not just the surface. The Transformation Emperor once imitated the Emperor Ba's talent of "Regeneration" to escape Wu Changkong's deadly attack.

However, the Abyss Possession Demon, a member of the Huadi clan, does not possess this talent, but rather a lower-level [Possession] talent. Therefore, Jiang Xiu cannot extract this talent from the Huadi clan members. The only way is to subdue the Huadi.

But this is clearly a bit difficult for him now.

"You make the arrangements; just invite me along when the time comes." The Underworld Emperor downed the red wine in his glass in one gulp, his gaze distant and profound.

"Then, we will use the heads of those demon lords to offer sacrifices to... the spirits of the planes!"

"Okay!" Jiang Xiu's expression turned serious, and he nodded slightly.

"Of course, if you encounter any difficulties, just let me know," the Underworld Emperor said slowly as he rose to his feet.

Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something: "Underworld Emperor, I will be going to the Star Luo Empire in the future, and I'm afraid I will really need to trouble you then."

He did not go to Dragon Valley in the past two years because he still did not know how to summon the treasure left by the Dragon God, and naturally he could not keep his cultivation level below the Soul King level in order to enter Dragon Valley.

Therefore, when he needs to enter Dragon Valley through another entrance, the Underworld Emperor will be needed.

Furthermore, when he goes to the Star Luo Continent, he also intends to obtain the Star Luo Empire's national treasure.

"The Star Luo Empire..." the Underworld Emperor murmured, then said nonchalantly, "No problem."

In his memory, the only strongman in the Silla Empire was that old dragon, but if that old dragon could last five moves against him, he would consider himself defeated.

"Of course, if you go to the Star Luo Continent, you can also look for Nanali if you need anything; she lives there."

After giving a word of advice and seeing that Jiang Xiu was alright, the Underworld Emperor turned into drifting wisps of gray smoke and left the room.

Of course, deep down, he still wanted to fight alongside Di Tian one more time.

I just don't know if there will be another chance in the future...

"Nanali..." Upon hearing this, a glint of surprise flashed in Jiang Xiu's eyes...

……

On top of a tall building.

A figure dressed in black robes stood atop it, looking at the ashes flashing in the distance, a hint of confusion in his deep blue eyes.

"Why is the Underworld Emperor in Shrek City? This is the third time I've encountered him, isn't it?"

The man in black robes sniffed the air and muttered in confusion; he was none other than the Dark Hummingbird.

Due to the unique nature of his martial soul, he had seen the Underworld Emperor three times in Shrek City over the past two years.

But what puzzled him was why the Underworld Emperor would come to Shrek City.

Completely baffled, Dark Hummingbird picked up the communication soul tool and called Ghost Emperor, who was also due to report on his progress in corrupting the Shrek Self-Defense Force.

"Dark Hummingbird, what is it?" The Ghost Emperor asked from a secret chamber thousands of miles away.

"Lord Ghost Emperor, I saw Lord Underworld Emperor in Shrek City, and it seems that Lord Underworld Emperor has been in Shrek City for the past two years," the Dark Hummingbird said cautiously.

"Oh? The Underworld Emperor has been in Shrek City for the past two years?" The Ghost Emperor was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

He was immediately relieved, realizing that the Underworld Emperor was clearly planning to ambush Jiang Xiu in Shrek City!
Furthermore, as far as he knew, Jiang Xiu seemed to have always been protected by powerful figures, and the Underworld Emperor had actually stayed in Shrek City for two whole years in order to find a suitable opportunity.

The Underworld Emperor is indeed loyal to the Holy Church!
No! The Underworld Emperor has been working so hard to wait for the right moment to strike; he must demand a greater reward from Qian Gu Dong Feng later!
