Backstabbed! Second Legion Commander!
Soon, under the Ant Emperor's coaxing and persuasion, the Six-Claw Demon Emperor followed the Ant Emperor into the palace with some doubt.
Just as the two entered the palace, the tall palace gates slammed shut, and the shadows that had been hidden in the palace's shadows began to stir, their dark red eyes flashing incessantly.
"Alright, stop beating around the bush and tell me where the opportunity is?" The Six-Claw Demon Emperor said impatiently as he entered the palace, pulling away the Ant Emperor's arm from his shoulder.
In truth, he didn't believe that the Ant Emperor could share any good opportunities with him, because the Ant Emperor usually hid things secretly. But the Ant Emperor had raved about it to him, saying that after having this opportunity, he would no longer be called the Six-Claw Demon Emperor, but the Six-Claws Devil Emperor.
It's important to know that only Abyss top ten Abyss King are qualified to be called "Emperors," which piqued his curiosity.
"Brother, I'm not lying to you. The Master will grant you an opportunity." A sly glint flashed in the Ant Emperor's eyes as he spoke meaningfully.
But deep down, he felt apologetic. "Brother, I really want to improve, this time it's all up to you."
After the gates closed, the palace fell into silence, with only the faint flickering of the Abyss Netherflame on either side casting a soft glow.
Just as the Six-Claw Demon Emperor was puzzled, deep within the palace, on the tall, dark purple throne, dark power slowly condensed into a tall, upright human figure, which sat firmly on the throne. Its Blood Pupil radiated nobility as it surveyed everything below, and a kingly aura slowly spread out.
"Old Ant! How come there are humans here?!" The Six-Claw Demon Emperor's expression suddenly changed upon seeing Jiang Xiu, then he looked at the Ant Emperor beside him in disbelief. "You actually betrayed the Abyss! You actually betrayed the Holy Monarch!"
No human has ever appeared in their Abyss!
If the Abyss Enforcer, Scythe Emperor, discovers this, he won't be able to escape responsibility either.
He treated the Ant Emperor like a brother, but the Ant Emperor kicked him into a ditch!
The Ant Emperor first bowed slightly to Jiang Xiu, then looked at the Six-Claw Demon Emperor, spreading his hands and saying, "Hey, hey, hey, is there any need to be so excited? I've been stuck in the 76th Layer of the Abyss for so many years without making any progress. I also want to lead the Ant Emperor Clan to a higher level, don't you want to?"
"No... wait!" In his haste, the Six-Claw Demon Emperor nodded slightly, then quickly shook his head emphatically, his words sharp. "You can't shake my loyalty to the Holy Monarch. My loyalty is as clear as Sun Moon. I have principles."
"You think you can fool me with a mouth full of lies? Which Abyss King wouldn't withstand such a test?!"
Watching the two arguing beneath the throne, Jiang Xiu simply observed quietly. Before arriving, the Ant Emperor had patted his chest and assured him that he would handle everything, and Jiang Xiu was eager to see the Ant Emperor's capabilities.
"Six-Claws, you really can't retreat an inch? You need to understand, brother, I'm doing this for your own good. Don't you even look at your race? You're already ranked 97th Layer, and who knows, one day you might fall to the one hundred and eightth. At that point, you'll truly become an insect trampled underfoot, with no resources whatsoever, and your people will just be cannon fodder."
The Ant Emperor stared intently at the Six-Claw Demon Emperor, asking in a deep, deliberate voice, his tone filled with disappointment at his lack of ambition.
The ranking of races in the Abyss Plane is not just a ranking, but more importantly, it is about resource allocation. The spoils from each invasion of the plane are distributed from the front to the back, and it also affects the promotion of their Abyss King.
The energy of the Abyss Plane is ultimately limited. Just like the Ant Emperor, who has been stuck at this cultivation level for hundreds of years, the 76th Layer where he is located is enough to support him to get here; not a step more is possible.
This is the Order hidden at the deepest Abyss Plane; beneath its seemingly insane surface, a predetermined fate has long been established.
To break through, one must make sufficient contributions and lead one's race to the top, but this is by no means easy, because the races ahead are also working hard.
Upon hearing this, the Six-Claw Demon Emperor was so enraged that he laughed. "You're trying to harm me! Do you know the consequences of being discovered? Utter annihilation!"
"Alright, then I'll have to get to the point." The Emperor Ant sighed regretfully upon seeing this, its dark red scales filled with gunpowder smoke, and a dense Abyss power burst forth, pressing down on the Six-Claw Demon Emperor.
Since his good brother is disobedient, he has no choice but to force him to "voluntarily" obey. He believes that the brother will understand his own intentions in the future.
"What are you trying to do? I advise you not to act recklessly." Seeing the Ant Emperor preparing to attack, the Six-Claw Demon Emperor's expression changed, and he retreated repeatedly.
In terms of strength, he is inferior to the Ant Emperor. If the Ant Emperor's strength is close to that of a level 95 Super Douluo, then his strength is only around level 92.
"Stop, stop, stop! Actually, my principles can be flexible a bit." Seeing the Ant Emperor getting closer and closer, the Six-Claw Demon Emperor hurriedly said, as if he had been moved.
But his dark red eyes darted around, a sly glint suddenly flashing in them.
Seeing this, the Ant Emperor slowly stopped, and his aura gradually dissipated. "Wouldn't it have been better to do this earlier? Why did we have to resort to arms? You should know that you are my brother."
However, the Ant Emperor's right hand remained hidden behind her back, tightly gripping something...
But in the next moment, a sudden change occurred. The previously calm Six-Claw Demon Emperor suddenly went berserk, his massive body abruptly exploding into countless tiny Abyss Bat, which roared and fled out of the palace.
The Six-Claw Demon Emperor's true form is Six-Claws Abyss Bat, who rules over the Abyss Bat Clan.
"Go to hell, you Old Ant! Watch how I find the Scythe Emperor!"
The Six-Claw Demon Emperor's voice echoed throughout the palace, a hint of excitement in his tone. If the Ant Emperor reported him, his Abyss ranking might advance another step.
Sorry, brother, I am a qualified and loyal Abyss King.
"Look at you, always in such a hurry."
The Ant Emperor seemed to have expected this, letting out a slight sigh without any haste, while his right hand, which had been tightly hidden behind his back, was extended at that moment.
The next moment, countless shadowy soldiers emerged from the darkness, enveloping the entire palace. The exit that the Six-Claw Demon Emperor had been so close to was suddenly blocked. Then, a dark purple Abyss Crystal appeared in the Ant Emperor's hand, and a powerful pressure descended from heaven and earth.
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
Under this overwhelming pressure from heaven and earth, the Abyss Bat exploded, turning into a sky full of black currents.
"Abyss Source! Bastard!" As the Abyss Bat exploded one after another, the Six-Claw Demon Emperor's furious voice rang out, and his true form reappeared amidst the gathering of black energy.
He finally understood why the Ant Emperor had brought him to the 76th Layer: it was the Ant Emperor's territory.
"We've been brothers for so many years, do you think I don't know what you're up to?" The Ant Emperor chuckled, looking at the Six-Claw Demon Emperor with amusement. He had long anticipated that the Six-Claw Demon Emperor would try to escape, so he had been on guard all along.
"And another thing, don't even think about detonating the Abyss Source, and don't even think about committing suicide to return. Also, put down that deadly weapon you're holding."
Upon hearing the Ant Emperor's words, the Six-Claw Demon Emperor's expression froze, and his body stiffened, because what the Ant Emperor said was exactly what he was about to do.
"Damn it! I've really been betrayed this time." The Six-Claw Demon Emperor cursed inwardly. He blamed himself for trusting the Emperor Ant too much. After working together for so many years, the Ant Emperor had practically exposed his true colors.
I originally thought the Ant Emperor was an honest ant who didn't talk much, but now it seems that the Ant Elder is not one to talk much, but rather a master of backstabbing.
He's stupid, really.
"So what do you want to do?" The Six-Claw Demon Emperor seemed resigned to his fate, his hands behind his back, and said helplessly. But the Ant Emperor came directly behind him and snatched a Crimson Gold Token hidden in his hand, which was the Abyss artifact he intended to use to send a message.
"They're all from the same plane, their moves can't be broken." The Ant Emperor raised an eyebrow and said with amusement.
Now, the Six-Claw Demon Emperor was truly convinced.
He even cleaned out the Ant Emperor in the trenches.
"Speak, I'll accept whatever you want to do." The Six-Claw Demon Emperor looked at Jiang Xiu on the throne and said submissively, as if he had lost all strength and means.
Now trapped here, he cannot and dares not detonate the Abyss Source, because that would truly mean his death.
At this moment, the Ant Emperor gave Jiang Xiu a look, indicating that it was okay.
"Alright, let's talk about our business then." Jiang Xiu's lips curled into a slight smile. "I want you to be my Second Legion Commander."
"Legion Commander? What's that?" the Six-Claw Demon Emperor asked, puzzled.
"It's the same as me, there's really no difference. The only difference is that we no longer need to pledge allegiance to the Abyssal Sage King, and you don't have to worry about being bound by the Abyssal Sage King. How about that, brother, aren't you good to me?" the Ant Emperor explained proactively.
Hearing the first part of the words, the Six- Six-Claw Demon Emperor Six-Claw Demon Emperor was slightly shaken, but the next part made his face turn dark.
That backstabbing bastard, he still dares to say he's good to himself!
