Chapter 105 Extinction, the Abyss Saint King's Scheme!
"My lord, is the Blood River God-Slaying Array you mentioned the same array held by the Abyss Saint King?"
The Ant King and the Six-Clawed Demon King were stunned for several seconds before the shock in their eyes gradually subsided and their minds came to a head.
It wasn't that they were bad-hearted, but rather that this Blood River God-Slaying Array concerned the supreme controller of their Abyss Plane, the true god—the Abyss Saint King.
Furthermore, they had only seen this Blood River God-Slaying Formation a few times; it was only used when their Abyss Plane invaded a powerful plane.
"It seems you know." Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed slightly when he saw the two of them. The formation he had mentioned earlier was the same one that allowed the Abyss Army to successfully enter the Douluo Plane in the later stages.
Jiang Xiu then asked, somewhat pointedly, "Could this formation annihilate the Ba Emperor?"
"Yes! It definitely can! This is a legendary formation with god-slaying power, capable of both offense and defense, and even shielding celestial secrets, but..."
"My lord, this formation was created by the Abyss Saint King. Even though we are all kings of the Abyss, we don't know the specific methods for setting it up, so we have no way of using it."
After a moment's hesitation, the Ant King said with a troubled expression that he was certain that in the entire Abyss Plane, there was at most only one person who knew this, and that was the Abyss Plane's intelligent brain, the Spirit Emperor.
But how could they possibly obtain the method to set up the Blood River God-Slaying Formation from Emperor Ling when they had to go through such a difficult time with Emperor Ba?
"No need to rush, I have my own arrangements." Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly as he said calmly.
The Blood River God-Slaying Array is no longer just found in the Abyss Plane; the Demon Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult has probably already obtained it as well.
According to what the Underworld Emperor told him last time, the Demon Emperor has secretly established a connection with the Abyss, and now it will be no more than ten years before the Abyss plane completely invades Douluo Continent.
Therefore, Jiang Xiu was certain that in order to ensure his successful descent, the Abyss Saint King had handed over the Blood River God-Slaying Array to the Demon Emperor and secretly persuaded the Demon Emperor that the array could help him become a god.
Jiang Xiu made this judgment for two reasons. First, the Blood River God-Slaying Array requires a large amount of life force and resentment, and the Holy Spirit Cult needs enough time to gather it. When Shrek City was destroyed, the life force of millions of Federation citizens was used for this array.
Secondly, the Abyss Saint King did not lie to the Demon Emperor; he intended to use this formation to help the Demon Emperor become a god, because only a god-level body could support his descent...
Once the Demon Emperor obtains this formation, he will definitely arrange for the Holy Spirit Cult to gather materials and set up the formation. The Dark Bell may not be high enough to access the core of the formation, but the Underworld Emperor, as one of the two emperors, will certainly be high enough. He will then be able to obtain the formation through the Underworld Emperor.
"You have arrangements..." The Ant King and the Six-Clawed Demon King exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
Their lord was able to obtain such a formation, so their future is incredibly bright!
"What you need to do is keep a close eye on Emperor Ba and find a suitable opportunity," Jiang Xiu solemnly instructed the two men in front of him.
By extracting the memories of that Baan, he roughly figured out the specific combat strength of the Baan clan. Although the Baan clan was not as large as the Ant King clan and the Abyss Bat clan, it still numbered a total of 10,000, and there were even five Baans comparable to Super Douluo.
Furthermore, most of the Ba'an people live in groups, and the palace of the Ba Emperor is heavily guarded. They cannot simply barge in and attack the palace directly. They do not yet have the strength to do so, so they must wait until the Ba Emperor is away to make their move.
"This... I think I know of an opportunity," the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor suddenly seemed to remember something, his eyes lighting up as he said, "Every year, Emperor Ba secretly goes to spar with Emperor Lie, and in the process, he hands over some Abyss treasures. We can intercept and kill Emperor Ba on his way back."
"Huh? If you're not Six Claws, how do you know that Emperor Ba would go to spar with Emperor Lie? I, who am under Emperor Lie's command, didn't even know. Also, isn't Emperor Ba under Emperor Hua? Why would he hand over the Abyss Treasures to Emperor Lie?" Upon hearing this, the Ant King was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.
The Six-Clawed Demon Emperor simply smiled and remained silent.
"I see, that guy Ba Huang has become a double agent too!" The Ant King immediately understood when he saw this expression.
"Ba Huang has become stronger, so naturally he doesn't want to follow Hua Di anymore. After all, Hua Di doesn't have as much of a future as Lie Di," the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor said matter-of-factly.
Jiang Xiu smiled slightly at this, but Emperor Lie reminded him of something. He remembered that the Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss, a super artifact derived from the Abyss Plane, was usually kept in the care of Emperor Lie.
Because the Abyss Saint King spends most of his time in slumber, and only the Fierce Emperor, whose own energy has reached the god level, can use the Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss, a super artifact, the Abyss Saint King entrusted the Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss to the Fierce Emperor to guard the Abyss Plane from external invasion.
"This Heavenly Sacred Rift Abyss might not be unusable for me..." Jiang Xiu thought to himself.
After all, the future owner of this abyss is still uncertain.
This abyss might very well belong to the Jiang family...
Regaining his composure, Jiang Xiu looked at the two people in front of him and said softly, "While supervising Emperor Ba, you two must also actively contribute to our Shadow Legion and strive to recruit more Abyss Kings to 'voluntarily' join our legion."
"Yes, sir! The direction you point to is where we will go!" the Ant King and the Six-Clawed Demon King said solemnly.
Now that they have joined the Shadow Legion, it means they have completely broken with the Abyss Plane, and everything they do must be for the Shadow Legion.
Furthermore, based on the Shadow Legion's extraction and transformation properties, the more enemies they have, the fewer enemies they will have...
"My lord, if you wish to quickly increase your strength, why not kill a few Abyss Kings and refine the Abyss Crystals they possess?" At this moment, the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor's eyes lit up as he made a suggestion.
The abyss crystal within the Abyss King's body represents the energy accumulation of that layer of the abyss plane, possessing immense vitality and energy. If one can devour it, one can improve their cultivation level in a very short time.
"No need, it's not the right time yet," Jiang Xiu shook his head slightly, his gaze sweeping over the two of them, and said meaningfully, "Do you know why I left the Abyss Crystal in your bodies after I transformed you?"
Upon hearing this, the Ant King and the Six-Clawed Demon King exchanged a glance and said in unison, "We don't know."
"Because I will be launching a decisive attack on the Abyss Saint King, and before that, you must protect the Abyss Crystals within your bodies and prevent the Abyss Plane you are in from collapsing," Jiang Xiu said calmly, his blood-red eyes filled with profound meaning.
"My lord, what do you mean by that?" Six Claws scratched his head, puzzled.
"Do you know the conditions that the Abyss Saint King needs to meet to enter the Douluo Plane?" Jiang Xiu asked softly.
"Hmm... We need a god-level body as support, as well as the Blood River God-Slaying Array to shield the heavenly secrets and weaken the suppression of the world in the Douluo plane," the Ant King said thoughtfully.
"You're right." Jiang Xiu nodded slightly, then said in a deep voice, "But there is one more crucial thing, and that is the power of the plane's origin."
"The power of the plane's origin?" Both the Ant King and Six Claws were somewhat bewildered.
"That's right," Jiang Xiu said with a touch of emotion. "A Blood River God-Slaying Array cannot truly free the Abyss Saint King from the shackles of the Douluo Plane. What he needs is the power of the plane's origin, and this power of the plane's origin comes from you Abyss Kings."
These were all said by the Abyss Saint King himself after descending upon the Douluo Plane. He needed to rely on the power of the Abyss Plane's origin from each layer to resist the power of heaven and earth in the Douluo Plane, so that he could exert his strength to the greatest extent after his descent.
How does one absorb the origin of each layer of the abyss plane? The Abyss Saint King's choice was to have his subordinates, the Abyss Kings, die, and be devoured along with the Abyss Crystal by Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Spear, thus causing that layer of the abyss plane to collapse.
Meanwhile, he was secretly gathering information. How could the life force that Tang Wulin had devoured possibly compare to the origin of a layer of the abyss plane?
"It comes from us..." After hearing this, the two of them immediately understood, and a chill ran down their spines. Their former holy ruler actually wanted them to die completely!
Only when the Abyss Crystal is destroyed will the Abyss Plane they reside in collapse, thereby generating the primordial power of the plane. The destruction of the Abyss Crystal also means that they will not be resurrected.
Seeing the expressions of the two, Jiang Xiu shook his head and smiled slightly. At the level of the Abyss Saint King, he didn't care about these Abyss Kings at all, because as long as he was there, the Abyss Plane could be rebuilt, and his subordinates would just be replaced.
Therefore, given the favorable situation of the invasion from the Abyss Plane, that final, foolish... stupid personal duel was merely the Abyss Saint King's way of ensuring the deaths of more of the Abyss Kings he had dispatched...
