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

But at this moment, a ball of darkness suddenly appeared in front of the Ant King, and the figure of the Shadow King slowly emerged, with coldness in his scarlet eyes, looking at the Ant King like an ancient king.

"Go away!"

The Ant King did not dodge or evade, but boldly controlled the Abyss Crystal to rush straight towards the Shadow King. The hardness of the Abyss Crystal transformed by their Abyss King was far greater than that of Sky-forged Metal, and even the explosion of the ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shells could not damage it in the slightest.

The Shadow King said nothing and slowly raised his hands. At this time, Jiang Xiu, who was following the Ant Queen, also raised his hands. Twelve dark red quarter clocks suddenly appeared in the space, surrounding the Ant Queen from twelve directions.

The pointer above kept ticking, and the clear and unified sound resounded throughout the world.

"Ant King, do you think you can escape?!"

"Time to stop!"

Jiang Xiu's eyes were calm, and he suddenly clenched his hands in the air, as if strangling the throat of time. The minute hands on the twelve dark red quarter clocks suddenly stopped, and layers of light red light flowed out, instantly covering the Ant King.

The next moment, the Ant King suddenly froze in mid-air, and the tiny dust stirred up around him suddenly settled, and even the smoke no longer filled the air.

"With my shadow's current Soul Emperor strength, it's enough to freeze the surrounding space and time for six seconds. And six seconds, whether it's for you or for me...

That’s enough!”

Chapter 66: The Seed of the Plane, the Arrival of the First Legion Commander

Jiang Xiu walked in the air, and every step seemed to be on transparent glass. In an instant, he arrived in front of the abyss crystal transformed by the Ant King, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

After he activated the Shadow King in the Abyssal Plane, the strength of his shadow could be transferred to his body through the Shadow King's martial spirit. Similarly, the strength of his body could also be applied to this shadow through the Shadow King's martial spirit.

The time-stopping soul skill, when controlled by this shadow with the strength of a Soul Emperor, can make the surrounding time and space stand still for six seconds.

"Human! What am I going to do if I let you go? I cannot be killed! Even if I am dead now, my beloved Saint King will resurrect me again and again!"

Looking at Jiang Xiu who was so close to him, the Ant King was not afraid at all, but instead started to mock him.

As long as the strongest being in the abyss plane, the Abyss Saint, exists, the unique laws of the abyss will exist, and he will be resurrected again and again relying on the origin of the abyss.

Besides, he has died before, so what is there to be afraid of? When he is resurrected, the worst that can happen is that he will eat a few of his tribesmen to restore his strength.

"You just said that he's dead now, right?"

Jiang Xiu smiled slightly, and a faint light began to appear on his slender palms. The Shadow King's [Extraction] power gradually spread, and the Shadow King also returned to Jiang Xiu's side, preparing to use the [Extraction] power on the Ant King.

Abyssal creatures are immortal because they have the origin of the abyss, but it does not mean that they will not be in a state of death. As long as they are in a state of death, their Shadow King can extract their shadow!

"Hmm? What are you going to do? I advise you not to waste your time."

Seeing Jiang Xiu's palm reaching out to him, the Ant King felt the strange power covering it, and a bad premonition came to his heart.

The last time he had this premonition, he was soon blown up by Jiang Xiu with a ninth-level fixed-type soul guide cannonball. Now that he has the same premonition, nothing good will happen.

"Buzz!"

Jiang Xiu said nothing, and with his palm covered with mang, he grabbed the abyss crystal transformed from the Ant King and began to refine it in an instant.

Although the Ant King is powerful, all his strength was wiped out by the ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shells. Now only his origin remains, and he has not yet been reshaped by the energy of this abyssal plane, so he is in a weak state.

Although the Abyss Crystal is very strong, the Shadow King's [Extraction] power directly acts on the Ant King's origin, so it can be ignored.

"Whoosh!"

A slight tremor sounded, and a faint light like a star entered the abyss crystal, pointing at the hidden origin of the Ant King.

"not good!"

Feeling his own origin being pulled and absorbed outward bit by bit, the Ant King instantly had a sense of beauty as if his brain was being sucked out. That ominous premonition completely enveloped him.

"This human is actually able to ignore the laws of the abyss and directly deprive me of my abyssal essence! If he grows up, won't the abyss become his home?!"

The Ant King woke up in shock from his dying dream and instantly realized the danger this would bring to their abyss.

The reason why the Abyss can plunder and rob people everywhere in the universe and seize vitality is that it relies on the Abyss's constant resurrection, which prevents any energy from leaking out.

But now, someone was able to seize the energy of their abyss, and this person sneaked into their house like a thief!

"Fizz!"

As he was thinking, the Ant King stopped thinking. It was not because he had completely figured it out, but because most of his essence had been extracted.

"Human... no, this powerful one, if you release me, I can use the authority of the 76th layer of the Abyss to take advantage of the opportunity to allow you to return to your world through the Abyssal Passage. Just think about the chaos that is everywhere in the Abyss, and how beautiful your world is..."

"By the way, this emperor has all kinds of natural treasures. I will give them to you as long as you don't kill me."

The Ant King finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to beg for mercy, almost begging.

There is great terror between life and death, and it seems to the Ant King that this is not an exercise, he is really going to die.

"Stupid! If I kill you, all your treasures will be mine."

Jiang Xiu growled. Although he would not kill the Ant King, it would still be a good idea to scare it before the transformation.

"Didn't you just say you wouldn't die? This time I want to see if you will die."

"I was wrong, I was really wrong, and I noticed you were a bit too serious. I was just joking with you, it was all a misunderstanding."

The Ant King denied it repeatedly, and now he finally understood that his people were taken away by Jiang Xiu in this way.

"I still prefer your rebellious look just now. Can you recover for a while?"

Jiang Xiu raised the corner of his mouth and said with a faint smile.

At the same time, Jiang Xiu began to increase the extraction efforts.

Although his shadow only has the cultivation level of a Soul Emperor, it can continuously extract the energy of the Shadow Legion soldiers. As long as there is enough time, extracting the shadow of the Ant King is only a matter of time.

"Don't kill me. If I die, the entire 76th layer of the Abyss will collapse, and you won't be able to survive. Moreover, the collapse of the Abyss will surely wake up the Abyss Saint Lord. Even if you escape the collapse, the Saint Lord will catch you. Please spare my life."

Although the Ant King was threatening, his tone was pleading.

He is originally an arthropod abyss creature and has no bones, so why would he need backbone?

"Really? Will the Abyss Plane collapse if you die, or will the 76th Abyss Plane collapse only if this Abyss Crystal Core containing the Plane Seed is destroyed?"

Jiang Xiu did not stop what he was doing, but spoke meaningfully.

"Who the hell are you? You even know this!"

The Ant King's origin was shaken, and he spoke in a voice that was almost screaming.

"Stop! You're right. This plane will collapse only when the Plane Seed is destroyed. But I've already been bound to the Plane Seed. At worst, I'll explode myself and we'll all die together!"

Immediately, the Ant King growled.

Seeing the Ant King take the bait, a smile flashed in Jiang Xiu's eyes. What he wanted was to put the Ant King into a desperate situation. He did not want to force the Ant King to transform directly because what he wanted was an intelligent legion commander, not a shadow soldier with only strength.

Forced transformation might erase some of the Ant King's intelligence, which he did not want to see. Moreover, as the Ant King said, the Plane Seed could not be destroyed, otherwise it would be very likely that the Abyss Saint Lord would wake up prematurely, and his original body in Douluo Continent had not yet fully grown.

"Ant King, I'll give you a chance. Submit yourself to me, and I can promise to preserve your current intelligence, strength, and everything you have. I can even help you improve your status in the Abyss."

Jiang Xiu looked at the Ant King and spoke word by word.

"This……"

The Ant King was stunned at first, somewhat incredulous. After all, this choice could mean the difference between heaven and hell.

If a human Soul Emperor had told him before that he could help him improve his status in the Abyss, he would definitely not have believed it, but now he believed it.

"Besides, Ant King, you wouldn't want the Abyss Saint Lord to discover your plan to self-destruct the Plane Seed..."

Jiang Xiu's voice echoed in the Ant King's ears like the whisper of a devil.

The Ant King was shocked again.

Chapter 67: Titled Douluo Combat Power, the Root of Snow City's Difficulties

"Buzzing."

With a slight hum and vibration, the power of [Extraction] continued to be activated, and the black airflow continued to wrap around the abyss crystal, drawing out the essence of the Ant King bit by bit.

"Damn it! I feel like I'm being manipulated!"

The Ant King was hiding in the abyss crystal. After hearing Jiang Xiu's words, he instantly felt sweaty.

The plane seed is not only the origin of a layer of the abyss plane, but also involves the supreme ruler of the abyss plane, the Abyss Saint Lord. The Abyss Saint Lord and the entire abyss plane are like one. Once a layer of the abyss plane collapses, it may even directly affect the Abyss Saint Lord.

If the Saint Lord of the Abyss knew that he dared to self-destruct the Plane Seed on the 76th floor, even if he survived by chance, his position as the Ant King would definitely be replaced by someone else.

"Ant King, the time is almost up. If I don't choose you now, you will have no chance at all."

“Everything, or nothing.”

Jiang Xiu stretched out his slender hand and grasped the Abyss Crystal in his hand. His bloodshot eyes looked quietly at the mark of the Ant King on the crystal, his expression unhurried.

If the Ant King detonated the Plane Seed at this time, he would definitely die with the Ant King, but he bet that the Ant King would not dare to do so, and bet on the Ant King's desire to survive.

"Is what you said before true? Can it really preserve my spiritual intelligence and help me rise in the ranking of the Abyssal Plane?"

The wavering Ant King seemed to have made up his mind, but finally asked tentatively.

"Of course, you just need to submit. I believe your title of Ant King will soon become Ant Emperor."

Jiang Xiu seemed to see through the Ant King's thoughts and smiled slightly, his tone quite firm.

"Okay, then I'm willing to submit to you, but I hope you're not just making empty promises. Otherwise, even if it means death, I won't let you gain any benefits."

Upon hearing this, the Ant King was silent for a moment, and then a voice slowly came out from the abyss crystal.

"The future will reveal everything. Moreover, the Plane Seed remains in your hands. You have the power to make the decision at any time."

Jiang Xiu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and tapped his fingers on the abyss crystal, making a crisp sound.

However, once the Ant King transforms into his shadow soldier, loyalty is no longer up to him.

As for the plane seed of the 76th layer, he planned to deposit it in the body of the Ant King first. After all, in this abyss, although the Abyss Saint Lord was sleeping, the Spirit Emperor and the Scythe Emperor would frequently patrol various abyss plane layers to ensure that the abyss plane was foolproof.

Until he can confront the emperors of the first four levels of the Abyss Plane, he must be extremely careful and not make any mistakes.

What's more, the Ant King is his, and this dimension is also his.

"Come, my lord. Your loyal ant king will always obey you!"

Upon hearing that the Seed of the Plane could stay here, the last doubt in the Ant King's heart disappeared. The defense of his own origin disappeared instantly, and he actively accepted the extraction and transformation of the Shadow King.

As for the Saint Lord of the Abyss, the Ant King said that he was not familiar with him, really not familiar with him.

"Good, you made the right choice."
