Ghost Emperor: Underworld Emperor Is a Loyal Servant!
"Beep beep beep!"
Just then, Jiang Xiu's Communication Soul Tool rang. Jiang Xiu took it out and saw that it was the Underworld Emperor calling.
As soon as the connection was established, the voice of the Underworld Emperor rang out from the other end of the communication channel. "The Scorpion Tiger Inner Core has been obtained. We will meet at the agreed location later."
"Got it?!" Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed, and he muttered to himself before replying, "Okay, I'll leave the academy now."
"Hmm." The Underworld Emperor gave a soft "hmm," and then hung up the Communication Soul Tool.
"Now that we've got the Scorpion Tiger Inner Core, it means Qiangu Dongfeng should be dealt with by fists and kicks, right?" Jiang Xiu's lips curled up, as if he had thought of something.
Qiangu Dongfeng stayed in Shrek City for two years, but in the end, he still couldn't escape the fate of being beaten.
"With this inner core, I believe the power of the Evil Demon Transformation will increase even further..."
After tidying up the things in the Forging Room, Jiang Xiu headed out of the Shrek Academy.
Shrek City.
A luxurious tavern, in a private room.
"Bang, bang, bang!" A knocking sound rang out on the door.
The Underworld Emperor was sitting inside sipping red wine, narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he could see the person who had come in through the door. Then, he waved his hand lightly, and the door opened.
"Your His/Her Excellency the Underworld Emperor." Jiang Xiu greeted the Underworld Emperor with a smile, then closed the door and sat down opposite Underworld Emperor.
"Not bad, you're only thirteen years old this year, yet you've already reached the fifty-fifth level of Soul King cultivation." The Underworld Emperor looked at Jiang Xiu, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his gray eyes.
"Furthermore, I remember that you possess dual Ultimate Attribute Martial Soul, yet you've cultivated so quickly?"
He remembered that there was also a Soul Master with Ultimate Attribute in the Shrek Academy who was only at the Soul King level at the age of eighteen. Compared to that, Jiang Xiu's cultivation had progressed extremely rapidly.
Furthermore, as far as he knew, Jiang Xiu's combat strength was significantly greater than his cultivation level.
"It was just a lucky breakthrough."
Jiang Xiu waved his hand modestly.
What the Underworld Emperor didn't know was that, apart from his cultivation level, his other four professions had already reached the peak of level five. Among them, the professions of Mecha maker and blacksmith, thanks to the presence of the Six-Claw Demon Emperor and the Ant Emperor, were already comparable to level seven, except for the difference in cultivation level.
"No need to be modest. The reason I was able to break through to the Titled Douluo at the age of nineteen is because of the special nature of my Martial Soul. It seems that your talent is even above mine. Perhaps your speed of breaking through to the Titled Douluo level may be even faster than mine." The Underworld Emperor shook his head slightly and said.
Jiang Xiu smiled but remained silent.
He hasn't gone to the Abyssal Passage and the Demon Plane yet. When he does go, with the constant Extraction Shadow and Shadow Monarch's feedback, his cultivation speed will only accelerate.
"This is the Scorpion Tiger Inner Core you requested." The Underworld Emperor put down his wine cup, and with a flash of light in his hand, a jade box was pushed in front of Jiang Xiu.
Jiang Xiu's eyes lit up slightly, and he slowly opened the jade box.
The moment the jade box was opened, a burst of bluish-purple light shot out, revealing a jet-black inner core lying quietly inside, covered with strange bluish-purple patterns and faintly surrounded by lightning.
And this was none other than the inner core that his Soul Spirit, the Scorpion Tiger, had lost.
This inner core has a great effect on him; it can not only strengthen his body but also deepen his Evil Demon Transformation and enhance his close combat power.
"Thank you, Your His/Her Excellency the Underworld Emperor." Jiang Xiu put away the jade box and bowed slightly.
"There's no need for such formalities between us," the Underworld Emperor said, waving his hand. Since the Old Plane Spirit had chosen Jiang Xiu Jiang Xiu, he would naturally assist him.
"During the struggle for the inner core, Qiangu Dongfeng didn't discover your identity His/Her Excellency, did he?" Jiang Xiu asked softly.
After all, apart from the high-ranking members of the Holy Spirit Cult, no one in the world knows that the Underworld Emperor is still alive. If his identity is not exposed, it will be much easier for the Underworld Emperor to do things in secret.
"No." A disdainful smile appeared on the Underworld Emperor' lips. "This Qiangu Dongfeng is far inferior to his father's."
"The Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Soul, which is clearly meant to Battle Heaven Fight Earth, is timid and cowardly in his hands, even afraid to face death. How could he possibly unleash the Coiling Dragon Staff's maximum attack power?"
He had once died at the hands of Qiangu Dieting, so he naturally knew Qiangu Dieting very well. However, Qiangu Dongfeng was far inferior to Qiangu Dieting in both cultivation and willpower.
"However, while retrieving the inner core this time, I encountered an interesting fellow," the Underworld Emperor said, taking a sip of red wine with interest.
"Who?" Jiang Xiu was slightly curious. Who would bump into the Underworld Emperor?
"That Beast God Di Tian," the Underworld Emperor said softly, "Is also after the Qiangu Dongfeng Qiangu Dongfeng, and it seems he also wants to get something from it."
"It's just that he's too good at keeping his promises..."
If Di Tian were here to hear these words, he would surely jump up and down in anger.
It's not that he's too good at keeping his promises; it's clearly that the Underworld Emperor is too bad at keeping his promises.
In terms of credibility, Di Tian was like a greenhorn in front of the Underworld Emperor...
"Beast God Di Tian? Taking something?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu raised an eyebrow slightly, a thunderbolt flashing through his mind, and an idea surged into his heart.
"Could it be that Na'er also sent Di Tian to compete with Qiangu Dongfeng for the inner core?"
The more Jiang Xiu thought about it, the more likely it seemed, since only the three of them knew about the inner core that day.
As a warm feeling welled up in his heart, Jiang Xiu also observed three seconds of silence for the Qiangu Dongfeng.
When the Underworld Emperor Di Tian came knocking on his door, Qiangu Dongfeng must have been incredibly happy. The scene was too beautiful to imagine.
"By the way, Underworld Emperor, I've figured out how to enter the Demon Plane." Suppressing his thoughts, Jiang Xiu looked at the Underworld Emperor and said.
"Oh? You have a way?" Upon hearing this, the Underworld Emperor leaned forward slightly, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.
He knew that this Demon Plane held the key to his godhood.
"That's right. When the time is right, the Demon Plane will come to us without us even having to go looking for Demon Plane," Jiang Xiu said meaningfully.
The Demon Plane is now coveting Douluo Continent.
As long as the coordinates of the Douluo Continent are provided to the Demon Plane, a certain Demon Monarch will actively construct Demon Passage and Advent Douluo Continent.
What they need to do then is simply to let them accept their situation as it is.
Then, they would enter the Demon Passage Demon Plane to seek the opportunity for the Underworld Emperor to become a god.
"However, there are also several Demon Monarch are Limit Douluo Quasi-God in the Demon Plane. If we want to go in, we need to be wary of them," Jiang Xiu said softly.
"At that time, we can employ a strategy of winning over some, dividing others, and suppressing others among these monarchs, and then take control of the Demon Plane."
"No need for such trouble." After Jiang Xiu finished speaking, the Underworld Emperor waved his hand and said:
"We'll just crush them all, and let these demons die if Defiance Intent."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu was slightly taken aback and clicked his tongue in surprise.
It's as if I can already see that future scene:
A Demon Monarch collapsed before the Underworld Emperor, roaring with heart-wrenching agony, "What about demons? Do demons deserve to die?"
Then the Underworld Emperor said indifferently, "If you don't die, am I supposed to die?"
Then, the Underworld Emperor Demon Monarch with a single sword strike.
Based on Jiang Xiu's understanding of the Underworld Emperor, the Underworld Emperor was clearly someone who preferred to be quiet rather than talkative; he was definitely not one to waste words when it came to fighting.
"Hesitate." Since the Underworld Emperor has said so, he naturally has no objection.
However, a problem now lies before Jiang Xiu: they can only provide coordinates to the Demon Plane after Yuanen Yehui breaks through to the Titled Douluo, but clearly they don't have much time left.
Whether it's turning Da Ming Er Ming into shadows, or restraining and dealing with Tang Hao and Ah Yin, he wants the Underworld Emperor to become a god as soon as possible.
Furthermore, after the Underworld Emperor became a god, he was even more confident in bombing Shrek Academy and imprisoning Ah Yin.
"I should ask Elder Jin about this," Jiang Xiu thought to himself.
If you're unsure what to do, just ask Elder Jin.
"Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure," as the saying goes, referring to Elder Jin.
In fact, he already had an idea in mind: if he possessed the Hua Di 'Abyss Plane Hua Di Bloodline Talent [Thousand Transformations], and imitated the Demon Bloodline within Yuanen Yehui's Fallen Angel Martial Soul, he could also send the coordinates of the Douluo Continent to the Demon Plane.
After all, the Hua Di's [Thousand Transformations] Bloodline Talent imitates the essence of energy, not just the surface. The Hua Di once imitated the Ba Emperor's [Regeneration] talent, thus escaping Wu Changkong's deadly attack.
However, the Abyss Possession Demon, a member of the Hua Di Clan, does not possess this talent, but rather a lower-level [Possession] talent. Therefore, Jiang Xiu cannot Extraction this talent from the Hua Di clan members. The only way is to subdue the Hua Di.
But this is clearly a bit difficult for him now.
"You make the arrangements; just invite me along when the time comes." The Underworld Emperor downed the red wine in his glass in one gulp, his gaze distant and profound.
"Then, we will use the heads of those Demon Monarch to appease... the Plane Spirit!"
"Alright!" Jiang Xiu's expression turned serious, and he nodded slightly.
"Of course, if you encounter any difficulties, just let me know," the Underworld Emperor said slowly as he rose to his feet.
Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something, "Underworld Emperor, I will be visiting the Star Luo Empire in the future, and I'm afraid I'll really need to trouble you then."
He did not go to Dragon Valley in the past two years because he still did not know how to summon the treasure left by the Dragon God, and naturally he could not keep his cultivation level below the Soul King level in order to enter Dragon Valley.
Therefore, he will need to enter Dragon Valley through another entrance, which will require the Underworld Emperor.
Furthermore, his purpose in going to the Star Luo Continent is also to obtain the Star Luo Empire's National Artifact.
"The Star Luo Empire..." the Underworld Emperor murmured, then said nonchalantly, "No problem."
In his memory, the only strongman in the Silla Empire was that old dragon, but if that old dragon could last five moves against him, he would consider himself defeated.
"Of course, if you go to the Star Luo Continent Star Luo Continent, you can also look for Na Nali if you need anything; she's there."
After giving a word of advice and seeing that Jiang Xiu was alright, the Underworld Emperor then turned into drifting wisps of gray smoke and left the room.
Of course, deep down, he still wanted to fight alongside Di Tian one more time.
I just don't know if there will be another chance in the future...
"Na Nali..." Upon hearing this, a glint of surprise flashed in Jiang Xiu's eyes...
On top of a tall building.
A figure dressed in black robes stood atop it, gazing at the ashes flashing in the distance, a hint of confusion flickering in his deep blue eyes.
"Why is the Underworld Emperor in Shrek City? This is the third time I've encountered him, isn't it?"
The man in black robes sniffed the air and muttered in confusion; he was none other than the Dark Hummingbird.
Due to the unique nature of his Martial Soul, he had seen the Underworld Emperor three times in Shrek City over the past two years.
But what puzzled him was why the Underworld Emperor had come to Shrek City.
Completely baffled, Dark Hummingbird picked up its Communication Soul Tool and called Ghost Emperor, who was also due to report on his progress in corrupting the Shrek Self-Defense Force.
"Dark Hummingbird, what is it?" The Ghost Emperor asked from a secret chamber thousands of miles away.
"Ghost Emperor, I saw Lord Underworld Emperor in Shrek City, and it seems that Lord Underworld Emperor has been in Shrek City for the past two years," the Dark Hummingbird said cautiously.
"Oh? The Underworld Emperor has been in Shrek City for the past two years?" The Ghost Emperor was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
He was immediately relieved; it was clear that the Underworld Emperor was preparing to ambush Jiang Xiu within Shrek City!
Furthermore, as far as he knew, Jiang Xiu seemed to have always been protected by powerful figures, and the Underworld Emperor had actually stayed in Shrek City for two whole years in order to find a suitable opportunity.
The Underworld Emperor is indeed loyal to the Holy Cult!
No! The Underworld Emperor has been working so hard to wait for the right moment to strike; he must demand a much greater reward from Qiangu Dongfeng later!
