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

Chapter 177 Raging Rebirth! The Seed of Life Displays its Power!
"Emperor Ba, you seemed to enjoy beating up my men just now. Why don't you give me a taste of your own medicine?"

A detached voice came from the altar. Ba Huang cautiously looked at the tiny figure. Although the figure was smaller than a single dragon scale of his, the aura it exuded made him tremble.

The ancient, blood-red altar seemed to have transformed into the other party's throne, and the contempt in the eyes of the tall, dark figure behind him far surpassed that of any emperor he had ever seen.

Jiang Xiu slightly raised his eyes, his blood-red pupils filled with solid killing intent. His black robe fluttered, surrounded by dense blood light, and the aura he exuded was mixed with unparalleled death energy, as if the underworld had descended upon the world.

After the energy of the Blood River God-Slaying Array converged, Jiang Xiu's shadow's strength briefly rose to an extremely high peak!

"Your strength is comparable to that of a peak Super Douluo in your world... I never imagined that I had truly underestimated your weakened Blood River God-Slaying Formation." Ba Huang roared in a low voice, his six vertical pupils glowing with blood-red light, yet there was also a hint of disdain in his voice.

"However, how long can you maintain this state? Three minutes? Or five minutes?"

"The life force, soul, and blood of living beings are the foundation of the Blood River God-Slaying Array. What you rely on is only the death energy of abyssal creatures, and death energy is the cheapest thing in the abyss."

Ba Huang whispered arrogantly, his dark gold claws crossed in front of his chest, constantly tapping the scales on his arm, as if he had already seen through everything.

The Blood River God-Slaying Array's ability to create gods primarily stems from the offerings used to construct it. The best offerings are the life force and souls of living beings, as the required quantity is extremely large.

Hearing Ba Huang's mockery, Jiang Xiu could not deny it, because what Ba Huang said was true. The reason why the Demon Emperor was able to become a god with the Blood River God-Slaying Array was because of the millions of dead people in Shrek City and the foundation accumulated by the Holy Spirit Cult over thousands of years.

The Blood River God-Slaying Array they formed contained only one thing: the death aura of abyssal creatures.

"Emperor Ba, your worth is only enough for me to use my death energy. And even if it's only for a few minutes, it's more than enough to deal with someone like you who isn't even an emperor." Jiang Xiu clenched his fist slightly, feeling the unprecedented power within his body, and a kind smile appeared on his face.

"Humans! Rampant!"

Ba Huang's breathing quickened, his vertical pupils gleaming with a savage fire, and he growled repeatedly from his gaping maw, "Say it again, I am a quasi-emperor! A quasi-emperor!"

As he spoke, Ba Huang's enormous figure roared towards Jiang Xiu, the space in its path echoing with a violent wail. Its dragon-claw-like claws radiated a sharpness capable of tearing through space as they slashed down at Jiang Xiu, bringing with them a large swath of ferocious dark light.

With a whoosh, ripples spread through the space as Jiang Xiu leaped from the altar, instantly merging into the space like liquid.

"Boom!"

A thunderous roar erupted as the ancient altar was instantly shattered by the claws, and the surrounding ground collapsed with a deafening crash. Countless cracks spread outwards like a spider web, and five ravines stretched for hundreds of miles.

However, despite the destruction of the altar, the entire Blood River God-Slaying Array did not dissipate. The bloodthirsty aura still filled the sky. This was because Jiang Xiu had now absorbed the energy of the entire array into himself. At this moment, Jiang Xiu was the core of the entire array!
"Buzz!" The space trembled slightly, and Jiang Xiu's figure suddenly appeared behind Ba Huang. His tall body stood upright, one finger pointing to the sky. His waist twisted violently backward, and the surging death energy in his body was rapidly consumed. A ferocious ghost face with red eyes suddenly gathered behind Jiang Xiu, as blood-red and demonic as a demon.

"Battle Skill! Ashura's Wrath!"

"Second floor! Yama!"

Using his fingers as blades and his arm as a handle, the scarlet and gray-white colors intertwined. With Jiang Xiu's roar, the hideous ghost face suddenly solidified, opening its blood-red maw to devour the Ba Emperor below.

Supported by his peak Super Douluo cultivation, Jiang Xiu's earliest learned combat skill instantly reached the second level. The death energy and blood flames combined in an instant, and the power that erupted was enough to crush everything. Moreover, this strike connected with the entire Blood River God-Slaying Array.

In that instant, it seemed as if the sky was about to collapse!
"Rumble!"

A surging wave of energy burst forth, and a dark green light shone on Ba Huang's body. The two forces clashed and annihilated each other, shattering large areas of space like a mirror. The chaotic energy compacted the entire land downwards.

Under the continuous collisions, the sturdy dragon scales on Ba Huang's back began to crack layer by layer, and the exposed muscles gradually turned gray under the erosion of death energy, as if they had lost all vitality.

"Roar!" Feeling the intense pain coming from behind, Ba Huang roared angrily, the dragon horns on his head emitted a purplish-black light, and at the same time, a green light kept flashing at his heart.

"Human, you have angered me!" Emperor Ba roared, and the purple-black light released from his head instantly turned into puffs of purple-black mist, like darkness devouring light, and coldly swallowed up Yama's illusory form.

"Oh? Is the fused dragon corpse from the Black Dragon Clan?" Jiang Xiu raised an eyebrow, quietly observing the ability used by Ba Huang, a glint of light flashing in his blood-red eyes.

Once he confirmed that the dragon corpse that Ba Huang had devoured was present, he would have an absolute means of victory.

What needs to be done now is to isolate Ba Huang's regenerative talent from the abyss plane origin within his body.

Immediately, Jiang Xiu's gaze sharpened, and a verdant seed suddenly appeared in his right hand, resembling an ancient and eternal jade stone.

At this moment, a hideous crack suddenly appeared on Jiang Xiu's shadow body, like a crack in porcelain. "It seems that I don't have much time left..." Jiang Xiu muttered. His shadow was far from having the powerful body and profound foundation of the Demon Emperor, and death energy did not have the vitality to recover. That was why Ba Huang dared to assert earlier that he could not maintain this state.

"Rampage Regeneration!" A furious shout echoed through the billowing smoke.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" Immediately afterwards, a sound like clear spring water rang out, and emerald light instantly swept from the heart to Ba Huang's entire body, and his originally injured body was mostly healed in an instant.

This is precisely the most powerful regenerative talent of the Baan clan, and it is also the origin of the Baan clan being called killing machines.

"Humans! Die!" Being hurt by an ant he despised filled Ba Huang with shame. He could not quell his hatred without destroying Jiang Xiu.

With a tremor of its massive dragon wings, Ba Huang transformed into a streak of dark green light, hurtling straight toward Jiang Xiu. At the same time, a vast expanse of black mist surged and billowed around its enormous body, blocking the surrounding space and preventing Jiang Xiu from escaping.

"My lord! Ba Huang's weakness is his heart!" The Six-Clawed Demon Emperor propped himself up and transmitted his voice to Jiang Xiu.

He already knew Ba Huang's weakness. Although Ba Huang's heart was a weakness, finding Ba Huang's heart was extremely difficult because Ba Huang's heart could be moved at any time.

That's why when Emperor Hua was fighting against Wu Changkong, he used the power of Emperor Ba to resist that fatal blow.

"So what if you can discover my weakness? Can you ants find it?!" Ba Huang's mental strength far surpassed that of the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor, so he naturally perceived what the Demon Emperor was saying, but he was not worried.

His body was a hundred feet tall, and his heart could be moved at will. Even in the entire Abyss Plane, only a Spirit Emperor whose spiritual power had broken through to the God level could find him.

But the next moment, Ba Huang saw a hint of... mockery in Jiang Xiu's eyes?
"Emperor Ba, you have no room to resist. I don't need to find your heart, I only need to break your defenses."

Jiang Xiu's voice reached his ears, but before Ba Huang could say anything, several blood-red rays of light enveloped him.

"Damn it! It's that damned power again!" Upon seeing this, Ba Huang was suddenly shocked. Wasn't this the same energy that had imprisoned him before?

"Time Stop!" As Jiang Xiu clenched his fist in the air, the world suddenly froze.

Nine magnificent clocks instantly surrounded the Emperor of Ba, and this time there were a total of nine!

He had previously exhausted all his energy by imprisoning Ba Huang, but with the replenishment of the Blood River God-Slaying Array, not only was his energy restored, but he also briefly reached the peak of Super Douluo, and the duration of time stop increased dramatically once again.

Looking at Jiang Xiu, who was so close to him, Ba Huang could only watch helplessly, realizing that he could do nothing about it!
"Hoo!" After releasing the time stop, Jiang Xiu slowly exhaled, and the hideous crack on his body spread outwards, with countless wisps of death energy drifting outwards.

Without time to rest, Jiang Xiu flashed directly onto Ba Huang's body, the emerald light in his palm being the Seed of Life!
The Seed of Life not only connects to the origin of a plane, but also has a natural instinct: to devour life force.

The reason why Ba Huang can regenerate time and time again is because of the continuous life force in his heart. Now he only needs to break through Ba Huang's defense and plant the seed of life into Ba Huang's body to cut off Ba Huang's regenerative ability.

It can also penetrate the abyssal crystal core carried within Ba Huang's body, imprisoning Ba Huang from using the power of the abyssal plane's origin.

That's why he agreed to enter Shrek Academy in the first place, so that he could come into contact with the Golden Tree and obtain the Seed of Life.

You could say that he made these dumplings just for that little bit of vinegar.

"My lord, attack his wings!"

Just then, the Ant King's voice came from afar, pointing directly to the right wing of the Ba Emperor, "He's injured there!"

Jiang Xiu looked closely and saw a hideous bloodstain there, which even when Ba Huang used his regeneration talent earlier, it had not been repaired.

"Looks like even the heavens aren't on your side." Jiang Xiu's lips curled slightly, and after a light laugh, he instantly flashed to Ba Huang's dragon wing. The wound there still exuded an extremely penetrating and sharp aura, hindering the wound from healing.

Jiang Xiu sensed this aura and seemed to have thought of something, but his movements did not slow down at all.

"Not good!" Upon seeing this scene, Emperor Ba panicked instantly and cursed Emperor Lie in his heart.

Although he didn't know what Jiang Xiu was holding, he had a feeling that made his heart pound.

It was as if he would be eaten up by this tiny thing.

At that moment, the death energy within Jiang Xiu surged out wildly, transforming into two enormous hands that grabbed one of the wounds and violently tore it open!
