Chapter 66 Seed of the Plane, The Arrival of the First Legion Commander
Jiang Xiu walked on air, each step feeling as if he were stepping on transparent glass, and instantly arrived in front of the abyss crystal that the Ant King had transformed into, a slight smile appearing on his lips.
After he activates the Shadow Monarch in the Abyss Plane, the power of this shadow can be transferred to his main body through the Shadow Monarch Martial Soul. Similarly, the power of his main body can also be applied to this shadow through the Shadow Monarch Martial Soul.
The Time Stop Soul Skill, once controlled by this shadow who possessed the strength of a Soul Emperor, could freeze the surrounding spacetime for a full six seconds.
"Human! Let go! What are you doing?! I, the Emperor, cannot be killed! Even if I were dead now, my beloved Holy Sovereign would resurrect me time and time again!"
Looking at Jiang Xiu, who was so close, the Ant King showed no fear whatsoever; instead, he began to mock him.
As long as the strongest being in the Abyss Plane, the Abyss Saint King, exists, the unique laws of the Abyss will exist, and he will be resurrected time and time again by relying on the origin of the Abyss.
Besides, he's not someone who hasn't died before, so what's there to be afraid of? Once he's resurrected, he can just eat a few of his own people to regain his strength.
"You just said you're dead now, right?"
Jiang Xiu smiled slightly, and a faint light began to emanate from his slender palm. The Shadow King's [Extraction] power gradually spread, and the Shadow King returned to Jiang Xiu's side, also preparing to use the [Extraction] power on the Ant King.
Abyssal creatures are immortal because they possess the essence of the abyss, but this does not mean they are immune to death. As long as they are in a state of death, their Shadow King can extract their shadow!
"Hmm? What are you trying to do? I advise you not to waste your time."
Seeing Jiang Xiu's palm reaching out to him, the Ant King sensed the strange power covering it, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart.
The last time he had this premonition, he was soon blown up by Jiang Xiu with a level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon. Now that he has the same premonition, nothing good is going to happen.
"Buzzing!"
Jiang Xiu remained silent, his hand covered in mang grasped the abyss crystal formed by the ant king, and began refining it instantly.
Although the Ant King was powerful, all of its strength had been wiped out by the Level 9 Fixed-Equipment Soul-Guided Cannonball. Now only its original essence remained, and it had not yet been reshaped by the energy of this abyss plane, so it was in a weakened state.
Although the Abyss Crystal is very sturdy, the Shadow King's [Extraction] power acts directly on the Ant Queen's essence, so it can be ignored.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
A slight tremor sounded, and a ghostly light, like starlight, entered the abyss crystal, aiming at the hidden source of the ant king.
"not good!"
Feeling his own essence being drawn outwards, little by little, the Ant King instantly felt a strange sensation as if his brain marrow was being extracted, and an ominous premonition completely enveloped him.
"This human actually dared to disregard the laws of the abyss and directly strip me of my abyssal origin! If he's allowed to grow stronger, won't the abyss become his domain?!"
The dying ant queen awoke with a start from her dream, instantly realizing the danger this posed to their abyss.
The Abyss can plunder and steal life force throughout the universe by relying on its constant resurrection ability, preventing even a single drop of energy from leaking out.
But now, someone has actually managed to steal the energy of their abyss, and this person has even sneaked into their home like a thief!
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
As he pondered, the Ant King stopped thinking. It wasn't that he had fully understood, but rather that a large portion of his essence had been extracted.
"Human... no, powerful one, if you release me, I can use my authority over the seventy-sixth level of the Abyss to let you return to your world through the Abyss passage. Just think about how chaotic the Abyss is, and how beautiful your world is..."
"Oh, right, I also have all sorts of rare and precious materials. You can have them all, as long as you don't kill me."
The ant king finally couldn't hold back any longer and began to beg for mercy, almost pleading.
There is great terror between life and death, and in the eyes of the Ant King, this is not a rehearsal, but a real death.
"Foolish girl, if I kill you, all your treasures will be mine."
Jiang Xiu gave a low shout. Although he wouldn't kill the Ant King, it would be good to scare it before it was transformed.
"Didn't you just say you wouldn't die? Well, I'll see if you actually do this."
"I was wrong, I was really wrong, and I've realized you're a bit too serious. I was just joking with you, it was all a misunderstanding."
The Ant King repeatedly denied it, and now he finally understood that his people had been extracted by Jiang Xiu in this way.
"I still prefer your defiant side from earlier. Can you come back to your old self?"
Jiang Xiu smiled faintly and said.
At the same time, Jiang Xiu began to increase the extraction efforts.
Although his shadow only possesses the cultivation level of a Soul Emperor, it can continuously draw energy from the Shadow Legion soldiers. Given enough time, extracting the Ant King's shadow is only a matter of time.
"Don't kill me! If I die, the entire 76th Abyss Plane will collapse, and you won't survive either. Besides, the collapse of the Abyss Plane will definitely awaken the Abyss Saint King. Even if you escape the collapse, the Saint King will still catch you. Spare my life!"
Although the ant queen was threatening, her tone was pleading.
He was originally an arthropod abyssal creature, and he didn't have bones, so what kind of backbone did he need?
"Really? Will the Abyss Plane collapse if you die, or will the 76th Abyss Plane collapse only if this Abyss Crystal Core containing the Seed of the Plane is destroyed?"
Jiang Xiu did not stop what he was doing, but said something meaningful.
"Who exactly are you? How do you even know this?!"
The Ant King's essence trembled, and he spoke in a voice that was almost a scream.
"Stop! You're right, this plane will only collapse if the Seed of the Plane is destroyed. But I'm already bound to the Seed of the Plane. At worst, I'll explode myself, and we'll all die together!"
Immediately, the Ant King shouted in a low voice.
Seeing that the Ant King had taken the bait, a smile flashed in Jiang Xiu's eyes. What he wanted was to drive the Ant King into a desperate situation. He did not want to forcibly transform the Ant King directly, because what he wanted was a legion commander with intelligence, not a shadow soldier with only strength.
Forcibly transforming him might erase some of the Ant King's intelligence, which he didn't want to see. Moreover, as the Ant King said, the Seed of the Plane could not be destroyed, otherwise it would very likely cause the Abyss Saint King to awaken prematurely, while his main body in Douluo Continent had not yet fully matured.
"Ant King, I'll give you a chance. If you pledge allegiance to me, I can promise to retain your current intelligence, strength, and everything else. I can even help you improve your status in the Abyss."
Jiang Xiu looked at the Ant King and said, word by word.
"this……"
The Ant King was stunned at first, somewhat incredulous, after all, this choice was a matter of heaven or hell.
If a human Soul Emperor had told him before that he could help him improve the Abyss's status, he definitely wouldn't have believed it, but now he does.
"Furthermore, even you, Ant King, wouldn't want that your plan to self-destruct the Seed of the Plane would be discovered by the Abyss Saint King, right..."
Jiang Xiu's voice echoed in the Ant King's ears, like a demon's whisper.
The ant queen was startled once again.
