Chapter 16 The Nine Legion Commanders, the Origin of the Abyss Dimension
The Abyss Plane.
The seventy-sixth floor.
Eleven shadows slowly rose from the scorched earth, their bodies shrouded in darkness, so dark that even light could not be reflected.
"The chaotic atmosphere filled with the smoke of battle is quite interesting."
Jiang Xiu's blood-red eyes swept across the boundless wilderness, and he sighed softly. The other ten black figures surrounded Jiang Xiu like loyal soldiers.
"So that's how it is. With the breakthrough of my physical body, the shackles of the Shadow Monarch were also broken."
After silently sensing it for a while, Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed with surprise, and he murmured to himself.
After breaking through to level ten, the Shadow King's powers were further unlocked. He can now not only extract the shadows of ordinary dead people, but also choose one of them to become the legion commander.
Becoming the shadow of the legion commander not only preserves all his memories and strength from his previous life, but also allows him to continue improving himself through his shadow soldiers, helping Jiang Xiu command the mindless shadow legion.
The legion commander will remain 100% loyal to Jiang Xiu and take Jiang Xiu as his supreme command.
"As for the choice of the legion commander... I feel that the queen of the ant clan still retains her charm."
Jiang Xiu's choice of legion commander was naturally not to be taken lightly. If he wanted to gradually take control of the entire Abyss, the first thing he needed to do was to deal with the Ant King Clan. Then, he could use them as a springboard to conquer other Abyss races. So, the Ant King Clan would have to confront him sooner or later.
"The task is arduous and the road ahead is long; we must improve our strength as soon as possible."
Jiang Xiu stroked Hei Yi's head, his gaze deep and thoughtful.
The Abyss Plane has 108 layers, and every 36 layers represents a significant leap in strength.
In the last thirty-six levels, the king of each abyss species possesses strength comparable to a human Soul Master Title Douluo.
In the thirty-sixth level, the king of each abyss species possesses strength comparable to a human Soul Master Super Douluo.
The first thirty-six levels are dominated by the rulers of each abyss species, who possess strength comparable to the Limit Douluo demigod among human soul masters. The emperors at the very top have even reached the god level in certain areas, such as the spiritual power of the Spirit Emperor and the divine power of the Fierce Emperor.
And now, on the seventy-sixth floor where Jiang Xiu resides, the Ant King, the king of the Ant King clan, possesses the strength of a Title Douluo.
"Come on, let the battle begin!"
With his mental energy at its peak, Jiang Xiu was determined to kill him to his heart's content and expand the ranks of his Shadow Army.
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
Upon receiving their king's command, the ten Abyss Shadow Ants instantly sprang into action, their scarlet eyes gleaming with ferocity. They charged headlong at a slightly larger Abyss Ant, their immense bite force comparable to that of a hyena-type soul beast. Even Hei Yi was stabbing them in the back, constantly reaching out to grab them.
Jiang Xiu followed behind, constantly extracting the shadows of the dead abyssal ants and adding them to the glorious shadow legion.
As time passed, the army of shadows behind Jiang Xiu grew larger and larger. By the time he had extracted the seventy-sixth ant, Jiang Xiu was already able to completely hunt down the abyss ants, which were comparable to the level of a Great Soul Master among Soul Masters.
As the shadow of the abyss ant appeared, a dark, ghostly light entered Jiang Xiu's body, and the strength of Jiang Xiu's shadow suddenly increased slightly.
"Is this a way of giving back?"
Jiang Xiu raised an eyebrow slightly, as if he had thought of something, and then suddenly realized.
The shadows he extracted before were too weak; they burned up during the conversion process alone, let alone being fed back to him. But now, after killing this abyss ant comparable to a Great Soul Master, there is naturally extra energy to feed back to him.
"Now that this shadow can level up on its own, I'll make it as strong as possible."
After a moment's thought, Jiang Xiu finalized the plan.
This shadow originally belonged to him, but it was lost in this abyss plane. The Shadow Monarch Martial Soul was like a medium, able to transmit his consciousness to this shadow.
Perhaps one day, when the Abyss plane attacks, his shadow will re-integrate into his main body, and all this energy will naturally return to his main body.
All the savings we make now are preparations for the future.
"Perhaps the path to salvation that leads to godhood in the future lies within this..."
Jiang Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and with a wave of his hand, he once again led his Shadow Army forward to attack. He even activated his Monarch Domain to enhance the combat power of these Shadow Soldiers and provide cover.
In an instant, chaos erupted in the area where Jiang Xiu was located, with shouts and fighting sounds mingling together.
However, this small area is far too insignificant compared to the vast 76th level of the abyss.
Time passed slowly, and as Jiang Xiu's mental energy was about to be exhausted, the fighting gradually came to a halt.
Even so, Jiang Xiu's Shadow Legion has now expanded to 150, and Jiang Xiu's shadow strength is about to reach the level of a Great Soul Master.
"Thank you for the gifts of nature."
Feeling his strength increase, Jiang Xiu sighed softly, "There's nothing more satisfying than leveling up."
Just then, a dark purple abyss ant, as strong as a calf and with a mouthful of fangs, charged straight toward Jiang Xiu and his companions from afar. It even took the time to eat one of its own kind along the way. On the surface of this abyss ant, there were five golden marks.
"The wind's getting strong, let's get out of here! Retreat!"
Jiang Xiu sensed the aura emanating from him, which was comparable to that of a Soul King, and thus gave the order without hesitation.
Although his Shadow Legion cannot die, it will become weaker with each death. He personally trained each soldier, so how could he make pointless sacrifices?
Moreover, the disparity in strength between the two sides is too great, and his mental energy is about to be exhausted, so a strategic retreat is the best course of action.
"Wait until next time I come, I'll kill you."
After giving him a deep look, Jiang Xiu led the Shadow Monarch group to sink completely underground.
The abyss ant watched the shadow legion disappear before its eyes and stamped its feet in frustration. But lacking much intelligence, it soon went elsewhere to continue eating its own kind.
"It's almost time, it's time to go back and rest."
After covering the Shadow Legion with the Monarch's Domain, Jiang Xiu sighed and prepared to return to his original body. After all, he still needed to go to the Spirit Ascension Platform tomorrow to increase the age of his Soul Rings. He also figured out that the flow of time here was the same as in the Douluo Continent.
"I estimate that I will encounter Leng Yaozhu's apprentice, Na'er, at the Ascension Platform tomorrow."
Jiang Xiu pondered for a moment, believing that Leng Yaozhu's decision to keep him in the Spirit Transmission Tower today was definitely not just about ascending to higher levels.
With Jiang Xiu's consciousness returning, the entire Monarch's Domain fell into silence.
At this moment, a strand of transparent thread, the size of a hair, appeared above the heads of each of the 150 shadow soldiers, all surging towards Jiang Xiu.
Finally, on the back of Jiang Xiu's right hand, a mark of an ant king roaring to the sky appeared. Although it was so faint as to be almost invisible, it was still real.
Immediately, the entire royal domain was plunged into eternal night once again...
