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

Chapter 209 The Underworld Emperor skillfully employs the Martial Virtue Technique, and Emperor Tian carelessly loses his inner core!

A grayish-white aura swirled around, the silent roars of the ghostly figures of the underworld echoed, and thick, dark soul power permeated the air, making the surrounding space seem to freeze.

Emperor Tian and Emperor Ming stared intently at each other, their invisible pressure crushing and eroding each other, causing the dust on the ground to tremble continuously.

Sensing the Netherworld power that the Underworld Emperor was no longer concealing, Di Tian's dark golden dragon eyes suddenly trembled, and he suddenly remembered something.

Wasn't this the same person who fought against Tang San, the Sea God, with his divine sense on the Soul Guiding Train last time? So, is this person the chosen one of the spirits of the old plane?
With this in mind, the Emperor's aura subsided slightly. Regardless of who fought the Sea God Tang San, it would help their soul beast race to some extent.

Moreover, he still remembers the words of advice left to him by the spirit of the old plane last time.

Perhaps they really are friends, not enemies...

Sensing that Di Tian had withdrawn his pressure, a hint of confusion flashed in the Underworld Emperor's eyes. Was Di Tian going to give it to him?

However, thinking of the deadly sense of crisis that Di Tian had given him, the Underworld Emperor's heart stirred slightly. Di Tian must have some hidden means, and he did not want to really have a life-or-death battle with him.

Perhaps after he becomes a god, he might challenge Di Tian to a duel to complete the essential task for a strong person, but now is clearly not a good time.

Then, as if realizing something, the Underworld Emperor abruptly withdrew his imposing aura, slowly raised his storage ring, and looked at Di Tian, ​​saying:
"We've fought side-by-side before, so how about I toss this ring into the air, count to three, and we'll both grab it. Whoever catches it gets to keep it all, okay?"

Upon hearing the Underworld Emperor's words, Di Tian's eyes flashed. After learning the Underworld Emperor's true identity, he did not want to engage in a pointless fight, and the Underworld Emperor's suggestion seemed quite good.

Confident in his own strength, Di Tian slowly nodded and said, "I have no problem, but you must abide by the agreement and not snatch it in advance."

"I have no problem with that, but you'd better keep your promise," the Underworld Emperor said meaningfully.

"The noble dragon race keeps its promises the most," Di Tian said proudly, his hands behind his back.

He'll make his move when the Underworld Emperor counts to two...

Thinking of this, for some reason, Di Tian took another long look at the lush green grass in the distance.

"Good!" A glint flashed in the Underworld Emperor's eyes as he slowly retreated.

In terms of strength, he might not be as good as Di Tian, ​​so he will directly count from one to three, without even counting to two.

Let Di Tian see clearly what it means to be wicked, and what his reputation as an evil soul master is worth.

The reason for proposing this rule was to give him time to summon the Death Knight, so that the Death Knight could stop Di Tian.

Fifty meters apart, the Underworld Emperor stopped. A faint light flashed across the ground beneath his boots.

Then, the Underworld Emperor looked at Emperor Tian. After Emperor Tian nodded slightly, the Underworld Emperor flipped his bone-armored fingers upwards slightly. With a soft "ding," the storage ring flew directly into the air between the two of them.

Di Tian's muscles were tense, ready to strike. He waited for the Underworld Emperor to count to two before he would seize the weapon and hand it over to the hidden King of Ten Thousand Demons. Then he would stop the Underworld Emperor.

As the storage ring ascended into the air, the voice of the Underworld Emperor rang out.

"one!"

The Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores within Di Tian's body spun wildly, continuing to gather momentum.

"three!"

"Huh?" Di Tian was stunned, his brain slightly blank, but when he saw the Underworld Emperor who had already set out, he cursed under his breath.

As the Underworld Emperor spoke the number "three," he summoned the Underworld Rebirth Domain, transforming himself into a delicate gray light and hurtling towards the storage ring.

Such a short distance was nothing more than a blink of an eye for powerful beings like them. In an instant, the storage ring was retrieved from the Underworld Emperor's hands.

"Stop right now, you rule-breaking bastard!" Di Tian's right fist transformed into a ferocious dragon claw, instantly engulfing the Underworld Emperor.

But at that moment, a towering black shadow, three zhang tall, burst forth from the ground, its empty eye sockets burning with the flames of its soul, and surrounded by a dense aura of the dead, brazenly blocking Di Tian's path.

"Don't hurt my lord!"

And this is one of the twelve Death Knights of the Underworld Emperor!

"Get out of the way!" Di Tian roared, and the Death Knight, whose cultivation was comparable to level 98, was sent flying by the dragon claw.

But in that brief moment of delay, the Underworld Emperor had already turned into a gray ray of light and sped off toward the distant horizon.

In order to stop Di Tian, ​​after taking the inner core he needed, the Underworld Emperor took out everything from his storage soul tool and scattered it all into the air.

The Death Knights who were swatted away by Di Tian turned into gray currents and disappeared into the world. They were born with the Underworld Emperor, and as long as the Underworld Emperor did not die, they could accumulate energy and be reborn in the Underworld Emperor's domain.

Di Tian's aura surged, and darkness instantly enveloped the surroundings, freezing all the floating objects in mid-air.

As his powerful spiritual energy swept across the area, he did not find the inner core that Qian Gu Dongfeng had always kept close to him, which made his gaze flicker slightly.

"Di Tian, ​​you are too trustworthy. People like you will only be taken advantage of by others."

"You should make some changes. After all, although you are a strong person, your whole body is a treasure. Don't end up not even able to protect your own body."

"Of course, if the opportunity arises, I look forward to fighting alongside you again."

The voice of the Underworld Emperor came from afar, but his figure had already vanished.

Upon hearing this, Di Tian's face instantly turned red. He had suffered from being too honest. He originally thought that waiting for the Underworld Emperor to make his move when he counted to "two" was already breaking the rules enough, but who would have thought that the Underworld Emperor would skip the "two" altogether!
"Hmph! My affairs are none of your business!" However, upon hearing the Underworld Emperor's advice, Di Tian still snorted coldly.

Previously, he hadn't unleashed his full power in battles against humans because his lord hadn't yet awakened. Now that his lord has awakened, he no longer needs to hide his strength. Who can capture his body?!

He's also waiting for the soul beast race to be revived so he can roam the universe.

"Di Tian, ​​why didn't you let me make a move just now?"

Just then, the lush green grass in the distance transformed into a man dressed in a dark green robe, his long hair reaching the ground. He flashed to Di Tian's side and asked in confusion:

"With the combined strength of the two of us, we can keep him here."

He was none other than the Demon King, who had been informed by Di Tian and hidden here. Just now, Di Tian deliberately revealed his aura to let Qian Gu Dong Feng notice him, so that Qian Gu Dong Feng would stop here.

"If you get involved in a battle between quasi-gods, you'll only become a weakness for me," Di Tian said, shaking his head slightly with his hands behind his back. Then, a glint of light flashed in his eyes as he added, "Besides, he might not even be our enemy..."

Upon hearing this, the Demon King was not angered by Di Tian's statement that his strength was insufficient; instead, he nodded in agreement.

Throughout his life, he believed in the meaning of flowers as forbearance and wealth.

The reason he was able to endure for thousands of years in order to devour the Immortal Spirit Grass, and even secretly control most of the plant-type soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, was because of this patience and pursuit of stability.

Of course, he also knew that Di Tian was right.

However, upon hearing the last sentence, the Demon King was slightly puzzled: "Why do you say that? He has already taken the inner core that the master needs."

"This inner core will go where it belongs, and our mission is accomplished," Di Tian said meaningfully.

The fact that the Underworld Emperor took only the inner core out of so many other things proves that someone behind him needs it.

According to his investigation, Lord Na'er needed this inner core for the sake of that human boy named Jiang Xiu.

Last time, during the Soul Guidance Train, the spirit of the old plane transferred the Golden Dragon King's essence into Jiang Xiu's body, and the Underworld Emperor was also favored by the spirit of the old plane.

Therefore, he guessed that the inner core would ultimately belong to Jiang Xiu.

The process was wrong, but the result was right.

Seeing Di Tian's unwavering confidence, the Demon King said no more. After all, he wasn't the primary responsible beast, so he wouldn't have to take the blame if something went wrong.

Immediately, the Demon King raised his hand and summoned several dark green vines that gathered all the floating objects in the air into his hand.

"Huh?" While quickly examining the items, the Demon King's gaze settled on one of the paper reports, and he couldn't help but let out a soft "Huh?"

"What's wrong?" Di Tian asked, raising an eyebrow slightly.

"Look, this report seems to be about an unknown small world. According to this report, the Spirit Pagoda seems to have detected a mysterious place, but they don't know the exact location or entrance. However, they suspect that there are living soul beasts inside."

The Demon King pointed to the contents of the report and said that this report was clearly a top secret in the Spirit Pagoda.

"The Spirit Pagoda is an institution that studies soul spirits. Its research over the past ten thousand years has been closely linked to soul beasts. Now, the soul beast race on our land is almost extinct, so it seems that the Spirit Pagoda is also searching for the remaining soul beasts..." the Demon King guessed.

"An unknown little world..." Upon hearing this, Di Tian's dragon eyes narrowed slightly.

He remembered his master saying that after the God Realm disappeared, there were still two souls closely connected to the Sea God Tang San... Divine beasts exist on the continent, could this small world be the work of those two...?

"Put all of these away and return them to the Lord." Realizing the importance of this, Di Tian immediately gave the order.

"Alright." The Demon King nodded slightly in response.

Just as the Demon King was tidying up, a groan rang out in the wilderness.

"Hiss! Where am I? Am I still alive?!"

Qian Gu Dongfeng touched his head, which resembled a pig's head, and struggled to sit up from the ground. But when he saw Di Tian and Wan Yao Wang in the distance, he quickly closed his eyes and lay back down on the ground.

Di Tian hadn't left yet, and there was even a Wan Yao Wang (King of Ten Thousand Demons) with him.

He dared not open his eyes, as if it were a hallucination...

"King of Ten Thousand Demons, you should go back first. I still have some matters to attend to."

Noticing that Qian Gu Dong Feng had awakened, Di Tian waved his hand and said.

The Demon King glanced at Qian Gu Dong Feng for no apparent reason, then transformed into a streak of green light and vanished from the spot.

As Qian Gu Dongfeng heard Di Tian's footsteps getting closer and closer, he knew he couldn't escape. So he slowly opened his eyes and forced an ugly smile at Di Tian, ​​who had already come to his side.

"Should I sleep a little longer?"

Di Tian looked at Qian Gu Dong Feng and recalled what the Underworld Emperor had said to him earlier. Although he knew that the inner core would return, he was still slightly angry. But the Underworld Emperor had already left. Fortunately, Qian Gu Dong Feng was still there.

Immediately, Di Tian clenched his fist and revealed a kind smile.

"Master of the Ancient Tower, I am very angry right now!"
