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

Chapter 281 The Sea Princess Who Escapes, Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd! Battle Armor!
"Squidward, don't even think about running away, or I'll show you what it means for fists to have no eyes, and for the Soul Conductor to be filled with soul power."

With her blood-red eyes, she looked at the middle-aged, long-haired man transformed from the Blue Emperor Octopus, as if she could see right through his thoughts, and said with a charming laugh.

"I didn't! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!" Realizing that his thoughts had been discovered, and recalling the violence that Blood Eye had just committed against him, the Blue Emperor Octopus hurriedly shook his head and said.

"Alright, I called you here today because I have some questions for you." Jiang Xiu waved his hand slightly, and Xue Tong consciously stepped aside.

"You...you say something." The Blue-Eyed Demon Octopus looked at the human boy in front of it and asked with lowered eyes.

Both that arrogant man and this violent woman are so respectful to this boy. If he still doesn't behave properly, then he's wasted all these years of his life...

Jiang Xiu slowly sat down opposite the Blue Emperor Octopus and asked, word by word, "I want to know where the former mermaid clan and the sea princess went?"

"Sea Princess?" Upon hearing this, the Blue-Eyed Demon Octopus's deep blue eyes immediately showed surprise. "My lord, why did you suddenly ask about this?"

"I asked you to answer, not to ask." Ba Huang crossed his arms, his deep voice booming in the Blue Emperor Octopus's ear.

"Yes, yes, yes." Looking at the man who had shattered his beastly dreams with three punches, the Blue Emperor Octopus hurriedly recalled:
"The mermaid clan to which the Sea Princess belongs is one of the top ocean clans. The Sea Princess is a sea spirit beast with nearly 700,000 years of cultivation. She can even compete with the Snow Empress, one of the three great kings of the far north, and she commands a large number of ocean clans."

"With her strength, why would she leave the icy sea where she once lived?" Blood Eyes knew this sea princess and couldn't help but ask softly.

After a moment's consideration, the Blue-Eyed Demon Octopus continued, "Four thousand years ago, the Spirit Pagoda and humanity developed rapidly, and began to extend their reach into the ocean."

At that time, some ferocious beasts and the kings of a hundred-thousand-year-old ocean race came to the area where the Sea Princess lived, preparing to lead a rebellion against human invasion of the ocean, with the Sea Princess as their leader. After all, the Sea Princess was one of the most powerful beings in the vast ocean. However, the Sea Princess did not agree.

"Not resisting? Is this sea princess truly the queen of her kind?" Ba Huang narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of disdain appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Even an ant knows to challenge him, yet this sea princess, who reigns supreme, is so weak and cowardly.

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Jiang Xiu's purple eyes, as if he had already figured something out.

The Blue Emperor Octopus shook its head slightly and said, "The Sea Princess does not rebel against humans for some reason. Ten thousand years ago, Huo Yuhao, the founder of the Spirit Pagoda, saved the Sea Princess's daughter and turned her into a spirit. Therefore, the Sea Princess is mindful of the past and is unwilling to become the leader."

Later, as the sea spirit beasts surrounding the Ice Sea were hunted, the Sea Princess, to avoid being affected, led a group of ocean creatures who worshipped the Sea God to the depths of the ocean.

After saying all that in one breath, the Blue Emperor Octopus also felt a sense of being discarded like a dog after the hunt is over.

Although their sea area is far from the Douluo Continent and has not yet been affected, he felt that it was only a matter of time before they were affected, given the speed of human development.

"A loyal race that believes in the sea god..." Jiang Xiu's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this.

What he's looking for are these loyal believers, because the deeper the faith, the more severe the backlash against the believer after being turned.

Immediately, Jiang Xiu gave Ba Huang a look.

Ba Huang understood immediately and said in a deep voice to the Blue Emperor Octopus, "Go and get rid of the Sea Princess."

"Huh? Who? Me?"

The Blue-Eyed Demon Octopus was stunned for a moment, its eyes looking somewhat bewildered.

He attacked the Sea Princess, who had nearly 700,000 years of cultivation?

The Blue-Eyed Demon Octopus immediately looked at Jiang Xiu pleadingly, "My lord, I want to live! I don't want to die!"

"Forget it." Seeing this, Jiang Xiu waved his hand and said, "I know your strength. You just need to find the exact location of the Sea Princess and then infiltrate her, how about that?"

"Huh?" The Blue-Eyed Demon Octopus was slightly taken aback. Such a good thing? This human trusts him so much?
But before the Blue Emperor Octopus could figure it out, it heard Jiang Xiu's mysterious voice again.

"However, before I send you there, you must first join the glorious Shadow Evolution."

"What evolution?" The Blue Emperor Octopus was puzzled, but soon he saw Ba Huang walking towards him with a fist the size of a sandbag.

"I've heard that you soul beasts will develop your soul beast origin after 100,000 years. Come, let me see it."

"No!" The Blue Emperor Octopus struggled as it watched the approaching Emperor Ba approach.

Three minutes later.

The Blue-Eyed Demon Octopus is gone.

A piece of right leg bone was exposed.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Ba Huang's eyes. The energy feedback he received this time clearly brought him one step closer to the quasi-god realm.

"My lord, is it really alright to let him go?" Blood Eye asked curiously, looking at the Blue Emperor Octopus, which had transformed into a shadow soldier and submerged into the sea.

“He’s at least a ferocious beast, so finding the Sea Princess’s location shouldn’t be difficult,” Jiang Xiu said softly, his gaze deep.

The Sea God Tang San will eventually return, and the backlash of faith is the first killing move he left for him.

Immediately, Jiang Xiu put away the 200,000-year-old right leg bone, which was as blue as a gemstone. The Blue Radiance Demon Octopus had both water and evil attributes. Although its age was good, its attributes were slightly incompatible with his own. So whether or not he should absorb it depended on whether he could encounter a better one in the future. Keeping it as a backup option was fine.

Just after the Blue Emperor Octopus left, three figures slowly emerged from the shadows in the room: the Ant Emperor, the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor, and the Wise Emperor.

"My benevolent and virtuous lord, are we about to arrive at the Star Luo Empire?" Emperor Zhi asked respectfully in a soft voice, holding the blue book.

Jiang Xiu nodded slightly, "That's about it. We should be able to arrive in another half month."

"That's good." Emperor Zhi's eyes flashed slightly. "My lord, the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd will be in my hands in two years. At that time, we must be fully prepared. Therefore, we must take the Vajra Ring of the Star Luo Empire."

“My lord, Emperor Zhi is right. If the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd returns to Emperor Lie’s hands, it will be even more difficult for us to obtain it,” the Ant King said.

Jiang Xiu tapped his fingers on the table. "We will get the Vajra Bracelet. This time, we also need to find a power that can suppress the Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss."

He knew very well that the Vajra Bracelet could temporarily restrain the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd, but to control it, he would need a relatively strong force, and that force might be within Dragon Valley.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhi gently stroked his chin. He understood that the goal was not to restrict the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd, but to control it.

His lord's current total amount of Abyssal Origin is certainly no match for the Abyssal Saint King, so he must find another way.

Seeing the room fall silent, the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor's eyes flashed, and he stepped forward, saying, "My lord, I actually have a plan regarding how to control the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd!"

"Tell me about it." Jiang Xiu raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Since the Heavenly Saint Abyss Splitting Halberd is firmly controlled by the Abyss Saint King because of the origin of the Abyss, if we fuse another powerful artifact that does not belong to the Abyss with the Heavenly Saint Abyss Splitting Halberd, will the Heavenly Saint Abyss Splitting Halberd still be completely controlled by the Abyss Saint King?"

As the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor's voice faded, the room fell silent once more.

"Huh? Huh!" The Ant King looked at his good brother beside him and suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity. How did the Six-Clawed Demon King gain intelligence?!

"The fusion of divine artifacts... the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd will definitely become stronger than before, but we need to determine how to integrate the divine artifact into it, and the fused artifact must also bear our lord's exclusive mark."

The wise emperor's eyes gleamed as guesses and plans flashed through his mind.

The Six-Clawed Demon Emperor's plan is like adding one substance to another. As the two substances merge and the total amount increases, the original entity's control over the newly generated substance weakens.

This gave their lord the opportunity to seize control.

"Why didn't I think of that!" The Ant King was somewhat regretful. He often fused two rare metals during forging to create better finished products.

Furthermore, if handled properly, the fused metal will only become stronger, while also taking into account the advantages of both metals.

Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered as he considered the plan in his mind.

Is the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd strong? Without a doubt, it is very strong!
Whether it's its super artifact rank or its god-level effect that ignores all defenses, it's unparalleled.

However, the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd also has a fatal flaw: its attack range is limited to within three zhang (approximately 10 meters).

If this weakness can be addressed during the fusion process, the strength of the Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd will reach another level, and it may even become a top-tier artifact among super artifacts.

Jiang Xiu took a deep breath to calm his surging emotions and said softly:

"No rush, let's take it one step at a time. Let's get our hands on the Vajra Bracelet first. After all, how to fuse it and what kind of divine artifact to use for fusion are both problems. Your master doesn't have a single divine artifact here right now."

"My lord, I have a plan!" A sly smile flickered in her blood-red eyes. "Just because we don't have divine artifacts doesn't mean other great families don't..."

Jiang Xiu paused, almost forgetting that the Holy Spirit Cult was also a veteran of zero-yuan purchases...

“Indeed, this matter cannot be rushed, but it is a good thing that we now have a direction,” Emperor Zhi echoed.

"By the way, my lord, I'm almost finished adding energy to your two-word battle armor. Both forms are nearly complete!"

At this moment, the ant queen strode forward.

"Oh?" Jiang Xiu's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this, and he praised, "Well done."

Because he has two martial souls, his battle armor naturally has to be adapted to both martial souls. Therefore, he innovatively designed a dual-form battle armor that can transform between the Shadow Monarch and the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon.

The metal material is based on the Evil God-Slaying Gold, with the addition of Purple-Gold Blood Dragon Gold, which has destructive properties.

After creating the "Radiant Dragon" battle armor form suitable for the Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon, Jiang Xiu discovered that the Abyss Energy was extremely suitable for the Shadow Monarch Martial Soul, so he asked the Ant Emperor to use the Abyss Energy to help create the "Shadow Monarch" form.

Hearing Jiang Xiu's praise, the Ant King finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he had been outdone by the Six-Clawed Demon King, he would have lived in vain.

"My lord, I believe you will be satisfied with the finished product of this dual-form two-word battle armor!" the Ant King added at the end.

"I believe he can shine in this competition," Jiang Xiu said, offering his encouragement without reservation.

At the same time, he also looked forward to seeing how much this battle armor could enhance his abilities!
