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

After all, if one's own sect is strong, who would be willing to come to other sects and kowtow?

……

In a spacious, clean and tidy room.

Jiang Xiu sat cross-legged on the bed, secretly absorbing soul power. The moment his soul power recovered, he slowly opened his eyes, and a noble aura faintly emanated from his purple pupils.

"When I broke through to become a Soul Master, my shadow left in the abyss also felt an inexplicable throbbing and came to let me see what was going on."

After gathering his strength and making some preparations, Jiang Xiu's consciousness slowly sank into the Shadow King and instantly entered another dimension.

Chapter 16: Nine Legion Commanders, the Origin of the Abyss Plane

Abyssal plane.

The seventy-sixth floor.

In the charred earth, eleven shadows slowly rose from the ground, their bodies shrouded in darkness, unable to refract even light and shadow.

"The chaotic atmosphere filled with gun smoke is really interesting."

Jiang Xiu's bloodshot eyes swept across the endless wilderness, and he sighed slightly, while the other ten black shadows surrounded Jiang Xiu and guarded him like loyal soldiers.

"So that's how it is. With the breakthrough of my true self, the shackles of the Shadow King were also broken."

After Jiang Xiu felt it silently for a while, his eyes flashed with surprise and he murmured.

After he broke through level ten, the power of the Shadow King was further unlocked by him. Now he can not only extract the shadows of ordinary dead people, but also choose a shadow to become the legion leader.

The shadow that becomes the legion leader will not only retain all the memories and strength of his previous life, but can also continue to improve himself through the shadow soldiers under his command, helping Jiang Xiu command the shadow legion without wisdom.

The legion commander will still be 100% loyal to Jiang Xiu and take Jiang Xiu as his highest order.

"As for the choice of the Legion Commander... I feel like the Emperor of the Ant King Clan still has some charm."

As for the legion commander, Jiang Xiu's choice naturally cannot be careless. If he wants to gradually control the entire abyss, the first thing he has to deal with is the Ant King clan, and then use it as a springboard to attack other abyss races, so the Ant King will have to confront him sooner or later.

"The road ahead is long and arduous. We must improve our strength as quickly as possible."

Jiang Xiu stroked Hei Yi's head and said with a faint look.

There are a total of one hundred and eight levels in the Abyss Plane, and every thirty-six levels represents a huge jump in strength.

In the last thirty-six levels, the king of each abyssal species has the strength to rival that of a human soul master titled Douluo.

In the middle thirty-six layers, the king of each abyssal species has the strength to rival that of a human soul master, Super Douluo.

In the first thirty-six levels, the emperor of each abyssal species has the strength comparable to the extreme Douluo demigod among human soul masters, and the emperors before them have even stepped into the god level in certain areas, such as the spiritual power of the Spirit Emperor and the divine power of the Fierce Emperor himself.

And now on the 76th floor where Jiang Xiu lives, the king of the Ant King clan, the Ant King, has the strength of a Titled Douluo.

"Come on, let's start the fight!"

This time, Jiang Xiu had enough mental strength, so he was determined to kill him swiftly to expand the manpower of his shadow army.

"Squeak!"

After receiving the order from their king, ten Abyss Shadow Ants rushed out instantly, with bravery in their scarlet eyes, and rushed shoulder to shoulder towards a slightly larger Abyss Ant. Their huge bite force was comparable to that of a hyena-like soul beast. Hei Yi even attacked them from behind and kept hitting back.

Jiang Xiu followed behind, constantly extracting the shadows of dead abyss ants and letting them join the glorious shadow army.

As time passed, the army of shadows behind Jiang Xiu grew larger and larger. By the time he had extracted the 76th one, Jiang Xiu was already able to completely hunt down the Abyss Ants that were comparable to the Great Soul Masters among the Soul Masters.

As the shadow of the abyss ant appeared, a dark light actually fell into Jiang Xiu's body, and the strength of Jiang Xiu's shadow suddenly increased a little.

“Is this repaying the kindness?”

Jiang Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had thought of something, and then he suddenly realized.

The shadows he had extracted before were too weak and burned out just by transforming them, let alone feeding them back to him. But now, after killing this abyss ant that was comparable to a great soul master, there would naturally be extra energy to feed back to him.

"Since my shadow can now upgrade on its own, I will make it as strong as possible."

Jiang Xiu thought for a moment and then made a plan.

This shadow originally belonged to him, but was lost in this abyssal plane. The Shadow King's spirit was like a medium that could transmit his consciousness to this shadow.

Perhaps one day, when the abyss plane attacks, his shadow will reintegrate into his body, and these energies will naturally return to his body.

The savings we make now are to prepare for the future.

"Perhaps the path to salvation, a breakthrough to god-level in the future, lies within..."

Jiang Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and with a wave of his hand, he led his shadow army forward again. He even opened the King's Domain to increase the combat effectiveness of these shadow soldiers and provide cover at the same time.

For a moment, the area where Jiang Xiu was located became chaotic, with roars and fighting sounds mixed together.

But this small area is too insignificant compared to the entire vast 76th level abyss.

Time passed bit by bit, and as Jiang Xiu's mental strength was about to be exhausted, the pace of fighting slowly stopped.

Even so, Jiang Xiu's shadow army has now expanded to 150, and the strength of Jiang Xiu's shadow is about to reach the level of a great soul master.

"Thank you for the gifts of nature."

Feeling his own strength increase, Jiang Xiu sighed softly, there is nothing more refreshing than leveling up.

At this moment, a dark purple abyss ant as strong as a calf and with a mouth full of fangs rushed straight towards Jiang Xiu and the others in the distance. It even did not forget to eat its own kind on the way. There were five golden marks on the surface of this abyss ant.

"The wind is blowing! Retreat!"

Jiang Xiu felt the aura emanating from him, which was comparable to that of a Soul King, so he gave the order without hesitation.

Although his shadow legions will not die, they will become weaker with each death. Every soldier was brought up by him personally, so how could he make a meaningless sacrifice?

What's more, the gap in strength between the enemy and us is too big, and his mental strength is about to be exhausted, so a strategic retreat is the best policy.

"Wait until the next time you come, I'll kill you."

After taking a deep look at him, Jiang Xiu led the Shadow Lord Group into the ground.

The abyss ant looked at the shadow army disappearing before its eyes and stamped its feet anxiously, but it did not have much intelligence, so it went to other places after a while and continued to eat its own kind.

"It's almost time to go back and rest."

After covering the Shadow Legion with the King's Domain, Jiang Xiu sighed lightly and prepared to return to his body. After all, he still had to go to the Spirit Ascension Platform to increase the age of his soul rings tomorrow, and he also figured out that the speed of time flow here was the same as in the Douluo plane.

"I guess I'll meet Leng Yaozhu's apprentice Na'er in Shenglingtai tomorrow."

Jiang Xiu thought for a moment and he believed that Leng Yaozhu asked him to stay in the Spirit Pagoda today not just for spiritual enlightenment.

As Jiang Xiu regained consciousness, the entire king's realm fell into silence.

At this moment, a strand of transparent silk thread the size of a hair appeared above the heads of these 150 shadow soldiers and all rushed towards Jiang Xiu.

Finally, on the back of Jiang Xiu's right hand, there appeared a mark of the Ant King roaring towards the sky. Although it was so faint that it was almost non-existent, it actually existed.

Immediately, the entire monarch's domain fell into eternal night again...

Chapter 17: The Extinct Soul Beast

Vertical sun.

The morning light is dim, and the soft sunlight shines through the curtains and slowly spreads into the room. Everything is peaceful.

Jiang Xiu ended his meditation and slowly opened his eyes. A golden light flashed in his purple pupils, which looked quite mysterious.

"Master, this body meditation method is indeed very efficient. In two and a half weeks at most, I will be able to break through to level fourteen."

Feeling the soul power filling up his body, Jiang Xiu thought energetically that after he came back from the Abyss Plane yesterday, his master Muye taught him the unique meditation method of the Body Sect, and he also replaced sleep with meditation.

Compared with ordinary meditation methods, the meditation method of the Body Sect is obviously more efficient. After all, it is the foundation of a sect, just like the Xuantian Gong of the Tang Sect.

"But we also need to quickly establish a legion leader in the Abyss, otherwise we'll waste too much time."

Jiang Xiu got up from the bed and thought while stretching his muscles.

Now he is in the Douluo plane during the day and meditates at night. When he is not in the abyss, his shadow army will definitely not be expanded, and he cannot do three things at once.

Therefore, it is essential to have a wise legion commander, so that even if he is practicing in the Douluo plane, his shadow legion can continue to grow.

After all, the Shadow Legion doesn't need to rest, so he can exploit them hard... and become the best at exploiting the Abyss.

"Bang bang bang!"

At this moment, there was a crisp knock on the door outside the room, followed by Makino's voice.

"Take a short break, hurry up and get up and wash up. We still have to go to the Spirit Ascension Platform this morning. The Leng Tower Master has already sent someone to remind us."

"Right away, Master."

Jiang Xiu replied loudly, then after washing up, he took out clothes from the storage soul guide and changed into a white suit embroidered with cranes.

The soul guide and the clothes inside were all purchased for him by Muye yesterday, and were sent to him together with the meditation method. After all, Jiang Xiu's property was destroyed in the abyss tide, and his federal card has not yet been replaced.

"Yeah, not bad, very energetic, not losing face."

Looking at himself in the mirror, Jiang Xiu nodded with satisfaction. The tight-fitting suit and his handsome face gave him the air of a young man full of vigor and ambition.

After packing up, Jiang Xiu, led by Xiao Ling, went to the Spirit Pagoda for dinner. The Spirit Pagoda had already provided them with a sumptuous breakfast, and each item was very expensive.

"Tsk, this earth dragon tendon isn't cooked properly. It's overcooked. What a waste of ingredients."

"Well, this purple jade shrimp is quite good. Disciple, you should eat more. It contains the power of qi and blood."

Makino tasted and commented at the same time, turning himself into a seasoned chef.

"Hey! Disciple, you have to drink this purple ginseng porridge while sipping it. That way it will taste better."

"Okay, the deputy tower master is already waiting for us at the Spirit Ascension Platform."

Seeing this, Han Tianyi on the side glared at Muye unhappily. His nephew was good at everything except that he was obsessed with cooking and mechas all his life.

Soon, the three of them finished their breakfast and, led by Han Tianyi, headed to the Spirit Raising Platform at the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda.

On the way through the Spirit Pagoda's hall, Jiang Xiu noticed a huge mural on the surrounding walls. On it were two figures, a man and a woman. These two people were none other than the Spirit Pagoda's founder, Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, and his wife, Tang Wutong.

"The original intention of the Spirit Pagoda was to reduce conflicts between soul beasts and humans. Well... now it has achieved its goal to some extent."

Jiang Xiu's eyes moved slightly, and he thought to himself.

After all, the soul beast clan is almost extinct, so conflicts will naturally decrease. It is reasonable and there is no problem with it.

I just wonder what Huo Yuhao would feel when he sees the current situation of the soul beast clan.
