Chapter 26 The Abyss Origin, Forging
Jiang Xiu's bloodshot eyes flashed as he muttered to himself.
During those four years, he once felt an extremely powerful spiritual force sweep over him. He was certain that this spiritual force was beyond the ordinary and had reached the divine level, that is, the Divine Origin Realm.
When this spiritual energy swept across the seventy-sixth floor, the entire seventy-sixth floor fell silent.
Jiang Xiu guessed that the owner of this spiritual power was none other than the Spirit Emperor, who ranked second in the Abyss and acted as the Abyss Saint King to oversee the Abyss plane.
Throughout the entire Abyss Plane, apart from the Abyss Saint King, only his spiritual power has broken through to the god level.
Fortunately, he had sunk the Shadow Legion underground and kept the Monarch's Domain open; otherwise, his shadow and the Shadow Legion would have perished there.
During these four years, his shadow continued to draw upon the feedback from the Shadow Soldiers, and his cultivation broke through to the Soul King level.
If it weren't for the fact that he dared not hunt high-level abyssal ants on a large scale, and that the higher the cultivation level, the more energy is required, Jiang Xiu's shadow would have a higher cultivation level.
After all, self-cultivation is nowhere near as fast as absorbing other methods.
Being in the abyss dimension, he didn't have much time to develop slowly.
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
Just as Jiang Xiu was pondering, a dark figure in the distance carried over a giant abyss ant that had lost limbs.
The shadow soldiers in the dark group were beaming with joy at Jiang Xiu.
"Good, good, from now on we'll follow these three principles."
Jiang Xiu nodded slightly and gave a word of praise.
This dark mass was a group of shadow soldiers he had carefully selected, who could retain some consciousness and could launch attacks in coordination with him when carrying out his orders.
Jiang Xiu instructed him on three principles: first, strike the legs to prevent escape; second, strike the head to prevent resistance; and third, strike the mouth to prevent begging for mercy.
It wasn't that the Shadow Soldiers weren't fast enough; it was just so that Jiang Xiu could see them clearly.
"It is your honor to follow me; there is no need for further futile struggles."
Jiang Xiu swiftly brought down his blade, ending the life of the abyss ant. As the ant transformed into a ball of black light and tried to escape, Jiang Xiu had already raised his right hand, and the power of darkness instantly bound it.
Perhaps due to the automatic reversion of the abyssal creatures' origins, and the vast difference in cultivation level between Jiang Xiu and him, this black light was still able to struggle slightly.
Jiang Xiu remained completely calm. On the back of his right hand, a purple-gold ant king mark that roared to the sky flickered slightly, and an indescribable pressure instantly slammed down on the ball of black light.
In the blink of an eye, the black light stopped struggling, and Jiang Xiu successfully extracted a huge shadow.
"This abyssal plane is indeed strictly hierarchical."
After absorbing the energy from the feedback, Jiang Xiu stroked the mark on his right hand and sighed softly.
This Ant King Mark appeared four years ago when his Shadow Legion broke through the hundred-strong mark. After a period of research, he gradually figured out what it was.
Compared to the Douluo Continent, the Abyss Plane is not a complete plane; it is merely a predator within the galactic universe.
The 108 layers of the Abyss Plane are generally considered as a whole, but each layer also has its own Abyss Origin, and a large part of this Abyss Origin resides in the king of each race.
Just like when Tang Wulin used the Golden Dragon Spear to kill two Abyss Kings in the Abyss Tide, after absorbing their primordial energy, the Abyss plane where the two Abyss Kings were located collapsed directly, and even the two major Abyss races were completely annihilated.
Apart from the origin within the Abyss King of each race, the remaining origins are divided into countless smaller origins, hidden within each Abyss creature.
This is why every abyssal creature can return to the abyssal plane after death and can be continuously reborn.
After he extracted the shadows of these abyssal creatures, the Shadow King also extracted their essence. Compared to the direct absorption by the Golden Dragon Spear, the Shadow King transformed the essence into his shadow.
"By controlling the majority of the source, we can control the entire Ant King Abyss Clan. While expanding the number of Shadow Monarchs, we must also gradually make contact with the Ant King."
Jiang Xiu pondered his plan, carefully considering it.
The Ant King possesses the most essence, perhaps even more than half of it. He must seize it and transform it into his shadow soldiers, or even legion commanders.
Only in this way can we profit without causing the collapse of this abyss plane, and also subtly control the seventy-sixth layer of the abyss.
"A Title Douluo... The grand plan is not yet complete; we must continue our efforts."
Encouraging himself, Jiang Xiu prepared to return his consciousness to his body.
But at that moment, the shadow he had just extracted, a special memory, appeared before his eyes.
"This is the Dark Lotus of the Abyss!"
In the memory of seeing that giant abyss ant, there was a lotus flower with black and white colors floating in a dark spring. This black and white lotus flower emitted a strange, eerie light, and had twenty-four petals, clearly distinguished by their color.
Although the Abyss Plane cannot compare to the Douluo Plane, it is still a separate plane. Therefore, there are all kinds of rare and precious materials in the Abyss Plane, and the Abyss Dark Lotus is one of them.
"Oh ho, it's guarded by the Ant Queen's men. I guess I have no choice but to steal it."
After browsing through the entire memory, Jiang Xiu's bloodshot eyes faintly revealed excitement.
This abyssal ant can be considered a peripheral guard of the ant king. It was previously sent by the ant king and other experts to guard this abyssal dark lotus.
The Ant King wanted to use this Abyss Dark Lotus to continue breaking through, since the ranking of the 108 races in the Abyss was not fixed. They could improve their race's ranking through special combat methods, and a higher ranking meant that the entire race would become stronger.
No race's king would refuse such a temptation, except for the second-ranked Spirit Emperor, who would probably have to go against the Abyss Saint if he wanted to improve further.
"Next time we come, we'll have to find a way to take it down."
Jiang Xiu made a decision in his heart. The further his shadow went, the more energy it needed to break through. This Abyss Dark Lotus was just right for him. Moreover, if the Ant King broke through, it would be even more difficult for him to take down the seventy-sixth floor.
Without further hesitation, Jiang Xiu brought the Shadow Legion back into the Monarch's Domain, and his consciousness slowly returned.
Inside Jiang Xiu's house.
"call!"
Jiang Xiu slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in his purple eyes, and slowly got up from the bed.
Now, he is tall and slender with a handsome face. His purple eyes also hint at a noble air, and coupled with his unique arrogant aura, he gives off the feeling of a dashing young man in fine clothes.
"Squeak!"
The door opened.
"Jiang Xiu, you've broken through?!"
Upon hearing the door open, Na'er immediately jumped down from the wooden stump and exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, I've broken through. Next, it's time to acquire the second soul spirit."
Jiang Xiu looked at Na'er in front of him, a smile appearing on his lips.
"Jiang Xiu, I feel like I've been set up."
At this moment, Na'er suddenly came to Jiang Xiu's side and said cautiously.
"Hmm? Tell me about it."
Jiang Xiu raised an eyebrow, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice.
"You've already broken through to Soul Master, and I'm only level 29. We usually cultivate together and learn forging together, and I haven't even broken through yet. Isn't this a setup orchestrated by someone?"
Na'er raised her pretty face and said matter-of-factly.
"..."
"Na'er, I don't know if you've been set up or not, but if you don't complete the task I gave you yesterday, you're finished."
Before Jiang Xiu could answer, a thin figure appeared behind the two of them, followed by a light cough.
Upon hearing the voice, Na'er's pretty face froze, and she slowly turned around as if mechanically. When she saw the person behind her, an idea instantly filled her mind.
"It's awesome!"
