Chapter 6 Innate Domain! Monarch!
"The wind has risen, it's time for you all to die."
Jiang Xiu felt the gentle breeze brushing against his palm, his eyes as calm as a lake as he looked calmly at the abyss ants before him, while at his feet stood a dark shadow ready to fight at any moment.
"Black One, charge!"
Soon, Jiang Xiu set his sights on another small abyss ant. With a flick of his wrist, the black shadow beneath his feet shot out and headed straight for it.
The next moment, the two figures began to fight each other, while Jiang Xiu watched silently from the side, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.
"The extracted shadow retained 60% of its combat power in life, and its intelligence... well, this thing doesn't have intelligence yet."
Jiang Xiu analyzed this in his heart, but he had already learned through his Shadow Monarch Martial Soul that the amount of combat power he retained from his shadow's previous life was related to his strength.
In other words, as Jiang Xiu's strength increases, the combat power of extracting his shadow can gradually approach that of his original body, or even be replicated one-to-one.
"That's a truly formidable ability."
Jiang Xiu sighed, and his short sword reappeared. Taking advantage of the fight between the abyss ant and Hei Yi, he killed it with a single blow, and then extracted its shadow again, adding one more member to the legion.
As time passed, the number of shadows around Jiang Xiu increased to nine, surrounding him as if they were protecting their king.
"Pfft!"
Another sound rang out, and a shadow ant fell, its shadow slowly rising.
But at this moment, Jiang Xiu's blood-red eyes emitted a dazzling light, and then an extremely dense dark power surged out from beneath his feet, instantly plunging everything within a ten-meter radius into eternal night.
Meanwhile, the ten dark figures surrounding Jiang Xiu suddenly became excited, their aura rising.
"Ten men form an army."
"This has awakened my innate martial spirit domain?!"
Sensing the surrounding darkness, Jiang Xiu's blood-red eyes grew even brighter, and after feeling the effects of this innate domain, he was slightly shaken.
His innate domain is called the Monarch Domain, which has three major functions. First, within the domain, the shadows he extracts will have their overall strength increased by 20%, with no limit on the number.
Secondly, using the Monarch's Domain can greatly conceal his own aura from the inside out.
The third point, which is also the one that Jiang Xiu values most, is the aura of a monarch, which is not subject to the pressure of any living being's own aura, including bloodline!
Furthermore, this is a growth-type field, which will strengthen as Jiang Xiu's strength increases.
But what Jiang Xiu values most right now are the latter two functions. After all, his shadow is currently in the abyss, and the abyss is the territory of the Abyss Saint King. If he discovers it, his shadow will be completely destroyed.
Although the Abyss Saint King usually slumbers and always sends the Spirit Emperor to patrol the various Abyss planes on his behalf, this is still something that cannot be ignored.
When it came to the effects of the Monarch's Might, Jiang Xiu immediately thought of Tang Wulin. Although his first martial soul, the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon, was known as the Ancestor of Dragons, it was rumored to have been born alongside the Dragon God, so its level should not be lower than that of the Golden Dragon King.
However, Tang Wulin possesses the entire origin of the Golden Dragon King within him, while he is merely a Martial Soul. Furthermore, all the Soul Beasts and Soul Beast Masters on the continent are suppressed upon encountering him, just like the version's answer—simple yet powerful.
Now that he has the Junwei, he can finally relax for the time being.
After familiarizing himself with the function of the Monarch's Domain, Jiang Xiu smiled slightly. Although there were many powerful geniuses emerging during the Douluo Continent III era, it seemed that his sword was not at a disadvantage!
Suppressing his excitement, Jiang Xiu prepared to continue fighting, because no matter what the future held, he was still just a Soul Master who hadn't even obtained his first Soul Ring.
A fallen genius is not a true genius.
But just as Jiang Xiu led the shadow soldiers to kill the eleventh abyss ant, and was about to continue extracting the shadow, he felt slightly dizzy.
"It seems the killings will end here today."
Jiang Xiu withdrew his hand and said with a hint of regret, "The extraction of Shadow King has no limit; it can infinitely transform the shadows of the dead."
However, his mental strength is limited. In other words, his physical body is very strong, but his mental strength cannot keep up. After all, he has only awakened his martial soul for less than half a day and has not even started meditation.
"I'll spare your lives for now, but next time you come, it won't be so simple."
Jiang Xiu's gaze swept over the densely packed abyssal creatures before him, and he chuckled softly, but his tone was indifferent and devoid of any warmth.
Whether it's to avenge their parents or to save their future selves, these creatures of the abyss deserve to die.
This has nothing to do with justice, it's just a difference in perspective.
"Um?"
Just then, Jiang Xiu noticed that two abyssal ants not far away were fighting each other until one of them won and ate the dead one. After eating it, the victorious abyssal ant grew even larger.
Jiang Xiu was slightly taken aback, then laughed.
He forgot that the entire Abyss Plane follows only one law: devouring and evolution. This applies not only to the Abyss Plane but also to all Abyss creatures.
The king of each race, and even the emperor who ranks high, is the strongest of each race, having devoured countless of his own kind.
True abyssal creatures never play by the rules of inheritance.
"This law of the jungle is both dangerous and fascinating, Black One. I will lead you to fight your way out from the bottom and let you, as someone from the bottom, see a sight you've never seen before."
Jiang Xiu's gaze was deep and unfathomable. He gently inhaled the air thick with the smell of gunpowder and stroked the black line beneath his feet.
"Smack smack!"
Hei Yi lacks wisdom and only blindly expresses his loyalty to Jiang Xiu.
"Kings, emperors, and even the top ten emperors of the abyss, I will come to see you in the near future."
A smile crept onto Jiang Xiu's lips, a hint of determination flashing in his blood-red eyes, which then turned dangerous.
Although the abyssal creatures he extracted were the same group of ant queens that attacked Snow City, they lacked intelligence but retained some fragmented memories from before their rebirth.
Jiang Xiu learned from these fragmented memories that this abyssal tide was not initiated by the abyssal plane itself, but rather a spatial rift suddenly appeared, sucking away these ant royals and causing them to land above Snow City.
"Was this an accident, or was it done on purpose? There aren't many people who have this kind of ability these days."
Jiang Xiu's gaze turned deep, and he quickly suppressed the thought in his heart. His current strength was still too weak to support him in investigating these things.
Feeling a weakness creeping into his spirit, Jiang Xiu slowly sank his consciousness into the shadow, gradually returning to his senses.
As his consciousness returned, the tall shadow vanished silently, taking ten shadow soldiers with it as it sank into the scorched earth and disappeared.
……
"I'm back."
Under the bright lights, Jiang Xiu slowly opened his eyes and looked at the silver-white metal walls around him, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.
But he knew very well that it was all true.
"I don't know how much time has passed now. Is the time flow in the Abyss Plane the same as that in Douluo Continent?"
Jiang Xiu looked around but couldn't find the clock, and his communication soul tool had long been destroyed in the abyss tide.
But just then, a strong voice came from outside the Soul Guidance Emergency Center, as if two people were talking, and their tone even seemed to be igniting a war.
"Old Dong, it's not that I'm disrespecting you, but I'm taking this person with me today, and no one can stop me!"
"Old Mu, don't give me that crap. Do as I say, and everything's fine. If you dare to use force, I'll blast you with the military's ten-position soul-guided cannon shells, sending your mech flying with you!"
