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

Chapter 179 The Sprouting Seed of Life, the Third Legion Commander Descends!
The crisp sound of swords echoed within the Blood River Godslaying Formation, carrying wisps of murderous aura and swirling with a majestic dragon's might.

"Submission or death..." Ba Huang looked at the black sword. It was so ordinary, yet it made a trace of horror flash in his scarlet vertical pupils, and his huge body involuntarily wanted to bow down and submit.

"You...you are the legendary true dragon? Or one of the nine dragon kings?" The arrogance in Ba Huang's tone had completely vanished, and his eyes were filled with awe as he looked at Jiang Xiu.

For a moment, he didn't know whether it was the dragon blood in his body that affected him, or whether he had truly submitted deep down.

Jiang Xiu slightly raised his eyes, his original blood-red pupils had already transformed into crimson-gold dragon eyes, exuding unparalleled nobility and majesty.

"The power contained within me is even greater than that of the nine Dragon Kings."

"Now it's your turn to make a decision."

Jiang Xiu's words were deeply imprinted in Ba Huang's heart. After devouring that dragon-level corpse, he had obtained fragments of its shattered memories.

Among those fragments of memory was a magnificent battle, in which a colossal dragon stretching for thousands of feet was cleaved in two by a blood sword, transforming into two giant dragons, one golden and one silver.

The golden dragon continued its battles with some powerful humans, while the silver dragon disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, the aura emanating from the human before him was remarkably similar to that of the golden dragon, even possessing an additional, inexplicable, terrifying aura of destruction.

"If I submit, will you take everything from me?" Emperor Ba suppressed his distracting thoughts and said solemnly, "If I become weak as a result, like these two lowly kings, I would rather die."

As he spoke, Ba Huang glanced imperceptibly at the Ant King and the Six-Clawed Demon King in the distance.

The Ant King and the Six-Clawed Demon King were taken aback at first, then their faces flushed red instantly. Them? Low-level!

How can you bully an honest and honest player like that!

Should honest, top-tier players be criticized?!

"You are merely my subordinate, not my servant. By following me, you will only grow stronger," Jiang Xiu said calmly, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

"At that time, you will not only become an emperor, but you will also surpass the emperor!"

Upon hearing this, Ba Huang fell into deep thought, but after hearing that he had surpassed the Emperor, a hint of eagerness involuntarily appeared in his eyes. Feeling the dragon might emanating from Jiang Xiu, and looking at the Ant Emperor in the distance, the hesitation in his eyes slowly turned into determination.

"I believe in you, and I believe in that low-level king. Without your help, it would never have been able to break through to this level in its entire life."

Ba Huang pointed to the Ant King in the distance. He knew very well that unless the Ant King had a great opportunity, he would be stuck in the ranks of ordinary kings for the rest of his life.

"..." The Ant King paused, its face instantly turning from red to green, then to black, and bared its fangs and claws as it charged at the Ba King.

"Old Ant! Old Ant! Don't go over there! If you go over there and mess up the master's plans at this crucial moment, all our efforts will be in vain!" The Six-Clawed Demon Emperor hurriedly stopped the Ant King.

After Ba Huang finished speaking, his massive body slowly lowered, his four thick legs bent as if pushing a mountain overturning a pillar, his proud dragon head slowly lowered, his winding dragon horns touched the ground, and he prostrated himself in front of Jiang Xiu.

Though silent, it fully expressed submission.

"Emperor Ba, I am pleased that you have submitted," Jiang Xiu said softly, looking at Emperor Ba in front of him. "However, I do not like the tone of your disdain for the Ant Emperor."

"Hmm?" Ba Huang was slightly taken aback, his face showing confusion.

Jiang Xiu put his hands behind his back and slowly said, "You are all my subordinates, and you will all be the leaders of the Shadow Legion. In the future, you will fight alongside me. There should be no distinction between you in terms of rank or status."

Therefore, you must take responsibility for your previous words and apologize to the Ant Queen.

Although under the Shadow King Martial Soul, these kings who have been transformed into the Shadow Legion will be unconditionally loyal to him, this does not mean that these kings will lose their own personalities.

What he wants is a united Shadow Legion, and this is the foundation for his future domination of the Abyss and his ability to face the world of gods.

Upon hearing this, the ant queen in the distance abruptly stopped struggling, her dark red compound eyes filled with disbelief.

Originally, he was just an abyss ant in the abyss. After countless hardships and bloody battles, he finally ascended to the throne of the abyss king by chance when the first level of the Ant King's plane was reunited.

After becoming a king, due to the lower level of the Abyss plane, and the strict hierarchical order of the Abyss and the slumber of the Abyss Saint King, he could only obey the Abyss Kings who were ahead of him.

Unexpectedly, after switching allegiance to his master today, such a high-ranking Abyss Emperor apologized to him!
In an instant, the Ant King stared at Jiang Xiu's retreating figure, his gaze momentarily unfocused.

At that moment, he even wanted to die for Jiang Xiu...

"This... I only respect the strong!" Ba Huang said in a deep voice, his brows furrowed.

Jiang Xiu's gaze sharpened, and he was about to say something when he saw the Ant King walking over from a distance, speaking solemnly.

"My lord, I will surpass him in the future! I will personally make him submit." The Ant King came to Jiang Xiu and said respectfully, his gaze fixed on the Ba King beside him.

Ba Huang raised an eyebrow slightly, gave the Ant King a deep look, and opened his blood-red maw slightly. "Hehehe, this emperor is waiting for you, the king who is growing stronger."

Seeing this scene, Jiang Xiu pulled out the black sword stuck in the ground and said softly, "Remember, in the abyss, there are only a few of us now, but we are facing the entire abyss. The three of you must work together." "Yes, my lord!" The Ant King bowed first, his eyes filled with determination, and even a hint of...faithful fanaticism, as he looked at Jiang Xiu.

The Six-Clawed Demon Emperor and Ba Huang, who were standing to the side, also spoke respectfully, but Ba Huang's tone was slightly different, as if he was a little unaccustomed to it being his first time.

"Alright, Emperor Ba, you die first." Jiang Xiu handed over the black sword in his hand and summoned the Shadow Monarch at the same time.

"Huh?" Ba Huang was slightly taken aback. Did he have to commit suicide to show his loyalty right after joining?
Did he join a legitimate organization?

However, he also had his own pride. He gritted his teeth, picked up the black sword in his hand, and plunged it into his heart without hesitation.

If it weren't for the majestic aura of the dragon bloodline emanating from Jiang Xiu, he wouldn't have hesitated much even if he had died here just now. At most, he would have felt resentful, because dying at the hands of a strong person was not humiliating for him.

Now that he has decided that Jiang Xiu is his master, he will not change his mind. Wherever Jiang Xiu points, that is where he will go.

"Pfft!"

Dark green blood gushed out as the black sword, under Ba Huang's control, easily pierced his own heart. The next moment, the light in his six scarlet vertical pupils faded, and his massive body crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"Bah! Bah!"

Just after Ba Huang fell to the ground, a bright green seed flew out from Ba Huang's heart and slowly landed in Jiang Xiu's hand.

The seed of life, which had been tightly sealed, suddenly cracked open, and a tender green sprout emerged from it, swaying back and forth like a baby's little foot, radiating affection towards Jiang Xiu, the child of nature.

"What a little glutton." Jiang Xiu couldn't help but smile when he saw this, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

Clearly, the Seed of Life was consuming the life force within Ba Huang's body and becoming quite satisfied.

To Jiang Xiu's surprise, the life force within Ba Huang's body was so dense that it could cause the Seed of Life to sprout a tender shoot. Although it was just a tender shoot, it was enough to demonstrate the terrifying nature of Ba Huang's regenerative bloodline talent.

After all, it was only after Tang Wulin used the Golden Dragon Spear to devour two Abyss Kings who were ranked lower that the Seed of Life sprouted.

"The task is arduous and the road ahead is long," Jiang Xiu murmured softly, looking at the Seed of Life in his hand.

While it's a good thing that the Seed of Life sprouts, it requires an extremely large amount of life force to grow to the level of the Golden Ancient Tree.

"It seems we'll have to endure some hardship in the Abyss Plane," Jiang Xiu said with a compassionate and kind expression.

"Pop pop pop!" As Ba Huang fell, sounds emanated from Jiang Xiu's body, and the Blood River God-Slaying Array that blotted out the sky began to slowly dissipate.

Feeling his cultivation dissipate, Jiang Xiu remained calm and murmured, "What is not one's own is ultimately nothingness."

Now that Emperor Ba has submitted, the weakened Blood River God-Slaying Array has dissipated, and Jiang Xiu's cultivation level is gradually declining.

However, seemingly due to the lingering death energy, Jiang Xiu's cultivation level actually broke through from the original Soul Saint to a level comparable to Soul Douluo, which was quite an unexpected surprise.

After all, Jiang Xiu possesses the authority of [Descent], which allows him to temporarily transfer the cultivation of his shadow to his main body in the Douluo plane.

The stronger the shadow, the stronger Jiang Xiu's means of survival.

"Buzz!"

Just then, the space trembled slightly, and a rhombus-shaped purplish-black crystal flew out from Ba Huang's body. It had streaks of black and gold dragon patterns on it and exuded a terrifying aura.

"Emperor Ba, stand up!" Jiang Xiu raised his hand slightly, and the tall Shadow King behind him followed closely behind.

The death condition has been met, and the [Extraction] power is activated without warning.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" Before long, a sound like flowing water rang out, and a huge shadow slowly rose from the dead body of Ba Huang, its vertical pupils shimmering with a rich red light.

Immediately afterwards, Ba Huang's body shrank rapidly, transforming into a muscular humanoid man with bulging muscles and a hideous scar on his face, though two dragon horns still snaked around his head.

"Your subordinate greets Your Majesty!" Emperor Ba knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

He discovered that his strength had not diminished at all!
He even retained the peak he was at before he died!

In the final moments, when he completely burned the dragon blood within his body, he had already transcended the stage of a quasi-demigod and entered the realm of a true demigod.

If we take another step forward, that would be the quasi-god level cultivation possessed by the top ten emperors of the Abyss!

When that day comes, he can remove the word "quasi" from the title of "quasi-emperor".

"Come on, come on!" Just then, Ba Huang suddenly noticed that Ant King and Six Claws were staring at him longingly, rubbing their hands back and forth and muttering to themselves, just like two... perverts.

"What's coming?" Ba Huang was filled with confusion.
