The Seed of Life Sprouts, the Third Legion Commander Descends!

The crisp sound of swords echoed within the Blood River God-Slaying Array, carrying Sisi of murderous aura and swirling with a majestic Dragon Might's might.

"Submission or death..." Ba Emperor stared at the Black Sword. It was so ordinary, yet it made a hint of horror flash in his scarlet vertical pupils, and his massive body involuntarily wanted to bow down and submit.

"You... you are the legendary True Dragon? Or one of the Nine Great Dragon Kings?" The arrogance in Ba Emperor's tone had completely vanished, and his eyes were filled with awe as he looked at Jiang Xiu.

For a moment, he didn't know whether it was the dragon blood in his body that affected him, or whether he had truly submitted deep down.

Jiang Xiu slightly raised his eyes; his original Blood Pupil had already transformed into crimson-gold dragon eyes, radiating unparalleled nobility and majesty.

"The power contained within me surpasses that of the Nine Great Dragon Kings."

"Now it's your turn to make a decision."

Jiang Xiu's words were deeply imprinted in Ba Emperor's heart. After devouring that dragon-level corpse, he had obtained fragments of its shattered memories.

Among those fragments of memory was a magnificent battle, in which a colossal dragon stretching for thousands of feet was cleaved in two by a blood sword, transforming into two giant dragons, one golden and one silver.

The Golden Dragon continued its battles with some powerful humans, while the Silver Dragon's whereabouts remained unknown.

At this moment, the aura emanating from the human before him was remarkably similar to that of the Golden Giant Dragon, even possessing an additional, inexplicable, terrifying aura of destruction.

"If I submit, will you take everything from me?" The Emperor Ba Emperor suppressed his distracting thoughts and said solemnly, "If I become weak as a result, like these two lowly kings, I would rather die."

As he spoke, Ba Emperor's gaze imperceptibly swept over the Ant Emperor and the Six-Claw Demon Emperor in the distance.

The Ant Emperor and the Six-Claw Demon Emperor were taken aback at first, then their faces flushed red instantly. They were... low-level!

How can you bully an honest and reliable player like that!

Should honest, top-tier players be criticized?!

"You are merely my subordinate, not my servant. By following me, you will only grow stronger," Jiang Xiu said calmly, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

"At that time, you will not only become an emperor, but you will surpass the emperor!"

Upon hearing this, Ba Emperor fell into deep thought, but upon hearing that he had surpassed the Emperor, a hint of eagerness involuntarily appeared in his eyes. Feeling the Dragon Might's might emanating from Jiang Xiu, and then looking at the Ant Emperor in the distance, the hesitation in his eyes slowly turned into determination.

"I believe in you, and I believe in that low-level king. Without your help, it would never have been able to break through to this level in its entire life."

Ba Emperor pointed to the Ant Emperor in the distance and said that he knew very well that unless the Abyss King Ant Emperor had a great opportunity, he would be confined to the ranks of ordinary kings for his entire life.

"..." The Ant Emperor paused, its face instantly turning from red to green, then to black, and bared its fangs and claws as it charged at the Ba Emperor.

"Old Ant! Old Ant! Don't go over there! If you go over there and mess up the Master's plans at this crucial moment, all our efforts will be in vain!" The Six-Claw Demon Emperor hurriedly stopped the Ant Emperor.

After Ba Emperor finished speaking, his massive body slowly lowered, his four thick legs bent as if pushing a mountain overturning a pillar, his raised dragon head slowly lowered, his winding dragon horns touched the ground, and he prostrated himself in front of Jiang Xiu.

Though silent, it fully expressed submission.

"Ba Emperor, I am pleased that you have submitted," Jiang Xiu said softly, looking at Ba Emperor before him, "But I do not like the tone of your disdain for the Ant Emperor."

"Hmm?" Ba Emperor was slightly taken aback, his face showing confusion.

Jiang Xiu put his hands behind his back and slowly said, "You are all my subordinates, and you will all be the leaders of the Shadow Legion. In the future, you will fight alongside me. There should be no distinction between you in terms of rank or status."

Therefore, you must take responsibility for your previous words and apologize to the Ant Emperor.

Although under the Shadow Monarch Martial Soul, these kings who have been transformed into the Shadow Legion will be unconditionally loyal to him, this does not mean that these kings will Annihilation their own personalities.

What he wants is a united Shadow Legion, and this is the foundation for his future domination of the Abyss and his ability to face the Great God Circle.

Upon hearing this, the Ant Emperor in the distance abruptly stopped struggling, her dark red compound eyes filled with disbelief.

Originally, he was just an Abyss Ant in the Abyss. After countless hardships and bloody battles, he finally ascended to the throne of the Abyss King by chance when the first layer of the Ant Emperor's plane reunited.

After becoming a king, due to his position in the Abyss Plane, and given the strict hierarchical Order of the Abyss and the slumber of the Abyssal Sage King, he could only submit to the Abyss King were ahead of him.

Unexpectedly, after switching allegiance to his the Master today, such a high-ranking Abyss Emperor-Rank apologized to him!

In an instant, the Ant Emperor stared at Jiang Xiu figure, his gaze momentarily unfocused.

At that moment, he even wanted to die for Jiang Xiu...

"This... I only respect the strong!" Ba Emperor said in a deep voice, his brows furrowed.

Jiang Xiu's gaze sharpened, and he was about to say something when he saw the Ant Emperor walking over from a distance, speaking solemnly.

"My the Master, I will surpass him in the future! I will personally make him submit." The Ant Emperor came to Jiang Xiu and said respectfully, his gaze fixed on the Ba Emperor beside him.

Ba Emperor raised an eyebrow slightly, gave the Ant Emperor a deep look, and opened his blood-red maw slightly. "Heh heh heh, this the Emperor awaits you, the one who is growing stronger... the king."

Seeing this scene, Jiang Xiu pulled the Black Sword from the ground and said softly, "Remember, in the Abyss, there are only a few of us now, but we have to face the entire Abyss. The three of you must work together."

"Yes, my the Master!" The Ant Emperor bowed first, his eyes filled with determination as he looked at Jiang Xiu, even with a hint of... faithful fervor.

The Six-Claw Demon Emperor and Ba Emperor, who were standing to the side, also spoke respectfully, but Ba Emperor's tone was slightly different, as if he was a little unaccustomed to it being his first time.

"Very well, Ba Emperor, you die first." Jiang Xiu handed over the Black Sword in his hand, and at the same time summoned the Shadow Monarch.

"Huh?" Ba Emperor was slightly taken aback. Did he have to commit suicide to prove his loyalty right after joining?

Did he join a legitimate organization?

However, he also had his own pride. He gritted his teeth, picked up the Black Sword in his hand, and plunged it into his heart without hesitation.

If it weren't for the imposing aura of the Dragon Clan bloodline emanating from Jiang Xiu, he wouldn't have hesitated much even if he had died here just now. At most, he would have felt resentful, because dying at the hands of a strong person was not humiliating for him.

Now that he has decided that Jiang Xiu the Master, he will not change his mind. Wherever Jiang Xiu points, that is where he will go.

"Pfft!"

Dark green blood gushed out as the Black Sword, under Ba Emperor's control, easily pierced his own heart. The next moment, the light in his six scarlet vertical pupils faded, and his massive body crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Smack! Smack!

Just after Ba Emperor fell to the ground, a bright green seed flew out from Ba Emperor's heart and slowly landed in Jiang Xiu's hand.

The Seed of Life, which had been tightly sealed, suddenly cracked open, and a tender green sprout emerged from it, swaying back and forth like a baby's little foot, radiating affection towards Jiang Xiu, the Child of Nature.

"What a little glutton." Jiang Xiu couldn't help but smile when he saw this, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

Clearly, the Seed of Life was consuming the life force within Ba Emperor's body and becoming quite satisfied.

To Jiang Xiu's surprise, the life force within Ba Emperor's body was so dense that it could cause the Seed of Life to sprout a tender shoot. Although it was just a tender shoot, it was enough to demonstrate the terrifying nature of Ba Emperor's Regeneration Bloodline Talent.

After all, it was only after Tang Wulin used the Golden Dragon Spear to devour two Abyss King were ranked lower that the Seed of Life sprouted.

"The task is arduous and the road ahead is long," Jiang Xiu murmured softly, gazing at the Seed of Life in his hand.

While it's a good thing that the Seed of Life sprouts, it requires an extremely large amount of vitality to Seed of Life to the level of the Golden Ancient Tree.

"It seems we'll have to endure some hardship in the Abyss Plane again," Jiang Xiu said with a compassionate and kind expression.

"Pop pop pop!" As Ba Emperor fell, sounds emanated from Jiang Xiu's body, and the Blood River God-Slaying Array that blotted out the sky began to slowly dissipate.

Feeling his cultivation dissipate, Jiang Xiu remained perfectly calm, softly saying, "What is not one's own is ultimately Void."

Now that the Ba Emperor has submitted, the weakened version of the Blood River God-Slaying Array has dissipated, and Jiang Xiu's cultivation level is gradually declining.

However, seemingly due to the lingering death energy, Jiang Xiu's cultivation level actually broke through from the original Soul Saint to a level comparable to Soul Douluo, which was quite an unexpected surprise.

After all, Jiang Xiu possesses the [Advent] authority, which allows him to temporarily transfer the cultivation of his shadow to his main body in the Douluo Plane.

The stronger the shadow, the stronger Jiang Xiu's means of survival.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

Just then, the space trembled slightly, and a rhombus-shaped Purple-Black Crystal flew out from Ba Emperor's body. It was covered with black and gold dragon patterns and exuded a terrifying aura.

"Ba Emperor, stand up!" Jiang Xiu raised his hand slightly, and the tall Shadow Monarch behind him followed closely behind.

The death condition has been met, and the [Extraction] power is activated without warning.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" Before long, a sound like flowing water rang out, and a huge shadow slowly rose from the dead body of Ba Emperor, its vertical pupils shimmering with a rich red light.

Immediately afterwards, Ba Emperor's body shrank rapidly, transforming into a muscular humanoid man with bulging muscles and a hideous scar on his face, though two dragon horns still snaked around his head.

"Your the Master greets Your Majesty!" Ba Emperor knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

He discovered that his strength had not diminished at all!

He even retained his peak condition before he died!

In the final moments, when he completely burned the dragon blood within him, he had already transcended the stage of a quasi-demigod and entered the realm of a true demigod.

If we take another step forward, that would be the Quasi-God level cultivation possessed by the top Ten Emperors of the Abyss!

When that day comes, he can remove the "quasi" from the title of "quasi-emperor".

"Come on, come on!" Just then, Ba Emperor suddenly noticed that Ant Emperor and Six-Claws were staring at him longingly, rubbing their hands back and forth and muttering to themselves, just like two... perverts.

"What's coming?" Ba Emperor was filled with confusion.
