Jiang Xiu walked through the air, each step as if landing on transparent glass. In an instant, he arrived before the Abyss Crystal formed from the Ant Emperor, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.
Ever since he had awakened the Shadow Monarch in the Abyss Plane, the power of this shadow could be transferred to his true body through the Shadow Monarch Martial Soul. Likewise, his true body's power could also be channeled through the Shadow Monarch Martial Soul and applied to this shadow.
And with the Time Stop Soul Skill under the control of this shadow, which possessed Soul Emperor-level strength, he could freeze the surrounding space-time for a full six seconds.
"Human! Let go of me! What are you trying to do? This Emperor cannot be killed! Even if I'm dead right now, my beloved Holy Monarch will resurrect me again and again!"

As long as the Abyss Plane's strongest being, the Abyssal Sage King, existed, the Abyss's unique laws would endure. The Ant Emperor would be able to rely on the Abyss Source to resurrect again and again.
Besides, it wasn't as if he had never died before. What was there to fear? Once he came back to life, he could always eat a few of his own people to recover his strength.
