The "Emperor's" Potential, and Ba Emperor's Fatal "Flaw"

"My the Master, you seem quite pleased..."

Seeing the slight upturn of Jiang Xiu's lips, the Six-Claw Demon Emperor gently touched the Ant Emperor and said softly.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning. Now that the Master has the first Ba An soldier, of course he is happy," the Ant Emperor said matter-of-factly.

"Alright," Jiang Xiu waved his hand to interrupt their conversation, and asked seriously, "Tell me what you know about the Ba An Clan, the more detailed the better."

To plot against the entire Ba An Clan, he naturally needed to understand his enemy well enough to find the right solution.

"As you can see, the individuals of the Ba An Clan are all extremely powerful," the Six-Claw Demon Emperor said first to prevent the Ant Emperor from speaking first. "Newborn Ba An possess strength comparable to human Soul Master Soul Ancestor, while adult Ba An generally have strength comparable to Soul Douluo. The Ba An Clan even has no fewer than ten Great Ba An who are comparable to Titled Douluo."

Even the Six-Claw Demon Emperor himself was somewhat astonished at this point.

These are the top-ranked Abyss races, incredibly powerful and with profound heritage.

A very few powerful Ba An, apart from lacking Abyss Crystal Core, are even stronger than him, the Abyss King.

Jiang Xiu was not surprised by this. In the Black Empress Clan, besides the Black Empress himself, there were other Black Empress Clan who were comparable to Super Douluo. Even more so, the Spirit Monarch, who ranked second in the Abyss, had three Abyss Spirit Dragon Clan members with strength comparable to Limit Douluo.

They are stronger than the Abyss King ranked lower, but they cannot replace the Abyss King of the later levels, because each level of the Abyss Plane has its own innate Abyss race, and the Abyss King can only be the emperor of this Abyss race.

"And another thing," the Ant Emperor glared at the Six-Claw Demon Emperor and continued, "The Ba An Clan's emperor, Ba Emperor, possesses strength comparable to Limit Douluo demigod, and Ba Emperor's individual combat power is no weaker than any Abyss King below the 'Emperor' level."

"If Spirit Monarch hadn't issued the Abyss Order, saying that these are extraordinary times and that racial advancement wars shouldn't be launched lightly, the Ba An Clan would probably have ranked directly in the top thirteen of the Abyss. And I once heard Fierce Emperor Lie say that Ba Emperor even has the potential to become an 'Emperor.'"

"Oh? Ba Emperor actually has the potential to become an 'Emperor'?" Jiang Xiu raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this.

It should be noted that there are only ten Abyss Emperors in the entire vast Abyss Plane, and each of them has at least the Abyss level comparable to Limit Douluo Quasi-God.

The top-ranked emperors have even reached the God Level in a certain field, such as the Divine Power of the Spirit Monarch and the physical power of the Fierce Emperor.

"That's right, this is what the Devil Emperor said himself." The Ant Emperor nodded emphatically.

There are also factions within the Abyss Plane, and he belongs to the Devil Emperor's forces.

The top emperors have all reached God Level in some aspect and are eager to gain more power to make up for the rest, so as to completely transform into gods. Therefore, without violating the fundamental principles of the Abyssal Sage King, they have all won over many Abyss King.

"But why does this Ba Emperor possess the potential to become an 'Emperor'? Logically speaking, if he were truly that strong, he should have challenged the Abyss races before the Spirit Monarch issued the ban on the war for advancement among Abyss races. Why is he still ranked thirty-second?"

Jiang Xiu asked pointedly, certain that there was more to the story. Just based on the personality of that Ba An, it proved that the Ba An Clan was by no means an honest and law-abiding one.

"Your the Master, you guessed correctly. There is indeed a reason for this," the Six-Claw Demon Emperor said after glancing at Jiang Xiu with surprise.

"Although Ba Emperor was strong, he had absolutely no potential to become an 'Emperor.' This is all because, after we discovered the Douluo Plane, our Abyss Plane encountered a well-preserved Dragon Clan skeleton on our way here, and that dragon was a true God Level in life!"

"Although we don't know how he died, the first person to discover the dragon's remains, the Ba Emperor, told no one and simply swallowed his own blood."

When the Six-Claw Demon Emperor said this, there was a hint of envy in his eyes, but not much, because he knew that even if Ba Emperor hadn't swallowed it all, it wouldn't have been his turn as the last-ranked Abyss King. However, when the higher-ranked Abyss King found out, they were furious, but there was nothing they could do about Ba Emperor, since Ba Emperor had already swallowed it.

"Six-Claws is right. After Ba Emperor swallowed it, he used his powerful Regeneration abilities to refine the giant dragon's remains. From then on, Ba Emperor's bloodline changed, making him even stronger. Not only was his defense stronger, but his attack was also stronger, and even his appearance changed slightly."

The Ant Emperor continued, even pointing to the head of Ba An, who had just become Shadow Soldiers, which resembled a dragon's head.

The Abyss King possesses the Abyss Crystal Core of the entire race. When the Abyss King undergoes a change, the entire Abyss race will experience a similar change. Therefore, with the rise of the Ba Emperor, the entire Ba An Clan has become stronger.

"Hmm? It has fused with the remains of God Level Dragon Clan? Its bloodline has changed?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu's heart surged with excitement.

Others may fear Dragon Clan, but he doesn't!

Now that the Dragon God is gone, he, possessing the Golden Dragon King Origin and the Purple Imperial Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon Martial Soul, is fundamentally the strongest Dragon Clan!

"That's right, my the Master, it is indeed a fusion of the Dragon Clan blood. After all, Dragon Clan are incredibly powerful no matter which plane they are in." The Ant Emperor nodded emphatically in deep agreement.

"With the Dragon Clan blood in my veins, things will be much easier." Jiang Xiu's Blood Pupil flashed, and a plan slowly surfaced in his mind.

"Huh?" The Ant Emperor and the Six-Claw Demon Emperor were taken aback upon hearing this, and both said in confusion, "My the Master, this is God Level Dragon Clan bloodline, it's incredibly strong."

"I know," Jiang Xiu waved his hand and said, "Then let me ask you, what's the strictest rule among the Dragon Clan?"

After a moment's thought, the two said in unison, "Bloodline hierarchy."

Having plundered throughout the Abyss Plane, they were worldly-wise and naturally knew the situation within the Dragon Clan. Dragon Clan of noble bloodlines had a natural advantage over Dragon Clan of lower bloodlines, regardless of strength, solely based on bloodline.

"That's good. We have a general plan for dealing with Ba Emperor, but we're still lacking an opportunity. You two must keep an eye on Ba Emperor's movements," Jiang Xiu said meaningfully.

He originally thought that his Shadow Monarch's [Advent] authority would be transferred to his main body in the early stages by transferring the strength of this shadow, but he didn't expect that he would now have to use the [Advent] authority to project the aura of the Golden Dragon King of his main body onto this shadow.

He believed that no matter what level of the Dragon Clan the Ba Emperor merged with, it would definitely be below the Golden Dragon King. Moreover, the Dragon Clan corpse that the Ba Emperor merged with might be the Dragon Clan corpse that was left behind during the great war between the Dragon God Divine Realm.

"Yes, sir." Although they didn't know why their the Master was so confident, the two Ant Emperor nodded in agreement.

After all, the fact that their the Master, a human, could appear here already represents a miracle.

"We have the means to suppress him now, but how do we kill Ba Emperor?" Jiang Xiu frowned slightly and murmured to himself.

Even with the strongest bloodline suppression, Ba Emperor's own power was considerable. The three of them alone had no chance of killing Ba Emperor, so they were still missing a powerful weapon.

With his Regeneration abilities and the strength of Limit Douluo, Ba Emperor could not be killed by a Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell. Moreover, he could not obtain them now. As for higher-level Fixed-Load Soul Guidance Cannonball, they were all in the Sun Moon Federation, which he could not obtain now.

"Hmm... How could I have forgotten about you?" Suddenly, a thought flashed through Jiang Xiu's mind, as if he had remembered something, and he said to the Ant Emperor and the Six-Claw Demon Emperor in a deep voice, word by word.

"You two, have you never heard of the Blood River God-Slaying Array?!"

Upon hearing this name, the Ant Emperor and the Six-Claw Demon Emperor were instantly filled with immense horror.
