Chapter 104 The Potential of an "Emperor," and the Fatal "Flaw" of the Ba Emperor
"My lord, you seem quite pleased..."
Seeing the slight upturn of Jiang Xiu's lips, the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor gently touched the Ant Emperor and said softly.
"Everything is difficult at the beginning. Now that the Lord has the first Baan army unit, of course he is happy," the Ant King said matter-of-factly.
"Alright," Jiang Xiu waved his hand to interrupt their conversation, and asked seriously, "Tell me what you know about the Ba'an clan, the more detailed the better."
To plot against the entire Ba'an clan, he naturally needed to understand his enemy well enough to find the right solution.
"As you can see, the individuals of the Baan clan are all extremely powerful," the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor said first to prevent the Ant King from speaking first. "Newborn Baan have strength comparable to human Soul Masters and Soul Grandmasters, while adult Baan generally have strength comparable to Soul Douluo. The Baan clan even has no less than ten Great Baan who are comparable to Title Douluo."
At this point, even the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor himself was somewhat astonished.
These are the top-ranked abyssal races, incredibly powerful and with profound heritage.
A very few powerful Baan, apart from lacking an Abyss Crystal Core, are even stronger than him, the Abyss King.
Jiang Xiu was not surprised by this. In the Black Emperor Clan, besides the Black Emperor himself, there were other Black Emperors who were comparable to Super Douluo. Even more so, the Spirit Emperor, who ranked second in the Abyss, had three Abyss Spirit Dragon Clan members with strength comparable to Limit Douluo.
They are stronger than the Abyss Kings ranked lower, but they cannot replace the Abyss Kings of the later levels, because each level of the Abyss plane has its own innate Abyss race, and the Abyss King can only be the emperor of this Abyss race.
"And another thing," the Ant King glared at the Six-Clawed Demon King, then continued, "The Ba'an clan's emperor, Ba Huang, possesses strength comparable to a Limit Douluo demigod, and Ba Huang's individual combat power is no weaker than any Abyss King below the 'Emperor' level."
"If Emperor Ling hadn't issued the Abyss Order, stating that these are extraordinary times and prohibiting the easy initiation of racial advancement wars, the Ba'an clan would likely have ranked directly among the top thirteen in the Abyss. Furthermore, I once heard Emperor Lie say that Emperor Ba even possesses the potential to become an 'Emperor.'"
"Oh? Emperor Ba actually has the potential to become an 'Emperor'?" Jiang Xiu raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this.
It should be noted that there are only ten Abyss Emperors in the entire vast Abyss Plane, and each of them has at least the cultivation level comparable to a Limit Douluo Quasi-God.
The top-ranked emperors have even reached the god-level in a certain field, such as the spiritual power of the Spirit Emperor and the physical power of the Fierce Emperor.
"That's right, this is what the Demon Emperor said himself." The Ant King nodded emphatically.
There are also factions within the Abyss Plane, and he belongs to the Demon Emperor's forces.
The top emperors have all reached the god level in some aspect and are eager to gain more power to make up for the rest, so as to completely transform into gods. Therefore, without violating the fundamental principles of the Abyss Saint King, they have all won over many Abyss Kings.
"But why does this Ba Emperor possess the potential to become an 'Emperor'? Logically speaking, if he were truly that strong, he should have challenged the Abyss races before the Spirit Emperor issued the ban on the war for advancement among Abyss races. Why is he still ranked thirty-second?"
Jiang Xiu asked pointedly, certain that there was more to the story. Just based on the personality of that Ba'an, it proved that the Ba'an clan was by no means an honest and law-abiding one.
"Your Majesty, you guessed correctly. There is indeed a reason for this," the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor said after glancing at Jiang Xiu with surprise.
"Although Emperor Ba was strong, he had absolutely no potential to become an 'Emperor.' This is all because, after we discovered the Douluo Plane, our Abyss Plane encountered a well-preserved dragon skeleton on our way here, and that dragon was a true god in life!"
"Although we don't know how he died, the first person to discover the dragon's remains, Ba Huang, didn't tell anyone and just swallowed it all in one gulp."
When the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor said this, there was a hint of envy in his eyes, but not much, because he knew that even if Ba Huang hadn't swallowed it all, it wouldn't have been his turn as the last-ranked Abyss King. However, when the higher-ranked Abyss Kings found out, they were furious, but there was nothing they could do to Ba Huang, since Ba Huang had already swallowed it.
"Six Claws is right. After Ba Huang swallowed it, he used his powerful regenerative ability to refine the giant dragon's skeleton. From then on, Ba Huang's bloodline changed, and his strength became even stronger. Not only was his defense stronger, but his attack also became stronger, and even his appearance changed slightly."
The Ant King continued, even pointing to the head of Baan, who had just become a Shadow Soldier, which resembled a dragon's head.
The Abyss King possesses the Abyss Crystal Core of the entire race. When the Abyss King undergoes a change, the entire Abyss race will experience a similar change. Therefore, as the Ba Emperor improves, the entire Ba An race becomes stronger.
"Hmm? It has fused with the remains of a god-level dragon? Its bloodline has changed?" Jiang Xiu's heart surged with excitement upon hearing this.
Others may fear dragons, but he doesn't!
Now that the Dragon God is gone, he, who possesses the Golden Dragon King's origin and the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Martial Soul, is the strongest dragon in terms of origin!
"That's right, my lord, it is indeed a fusion of dragon bloodline. After all, dragons are incredibly powerful no matter which plane they are in." The Ant King nodded emphatically in deep agreement.
"With the bloodline of the dragon in my body, things will be much easier." Jiang Xiu's blood-red eyes flashed, and a plan slowly emerged in his mind.
"Huh?" The Ant King and the Six-Clawed Demon King were taken aback upon hearing this, and both said in confusion, "My lord, this is a divine-level dragon bloodline, it's incredibly strong."
"I know," Jiang Xiu waved his hand and said, "Then let me ask you, what's the strictest rule in the Dragon Clan?"
After a moment's thought, the two said in unison, "Bloodline hierarchy."
They followed the Abyss Plane to plunder everywhere, and were considered worldly people. They naturally knew the situation within the Dragon Clan. Dragons with noble bloodlines had a natural suppression over those with lower bloodlines. This had nothing to do with strength, but only with bloodline.
"That's good. We have a general plan for dealing with Emperor Ba, but we're still missing an opportunity. You two must keep an eye on Emperor Ba's movements," Jiang Xiu said meaningfully.
He originally thought that his Shadow King's [Descent] authority would be transferred to his main body in the early stages by transferring the strength of this shadow. He didn't expect that now he would have to use the [Descent] authority to project the aura of the Golden Dragon King of his main body onto this shadow.
He believed that no matter what level of dragon the Emperor Ba merged with, it would definitely be below the Golden Dragon King. Moreover, the dragon corpse that the Emperor Ba merged with might be the dragon corpse that was left behind during the great war between the Dragon Gods and the God Realm.
"Yes, sir." Although they didn't know why their master was so confident, the two ants nodded in agreement.
After all, the fact that their master, a human, could appear here already represents a miracle.
"We have the means to suppress him now, but how do we kill Emperor Ba?" Jiang Xiu frowned slightly and muttered to himself.
Even if the bloodline suppression is strong, Ba Huang's own power is not bad. The three of them alone have no chance of killing Ba Huang, so they are still missing a great weapon.
With his regenerative abilities and the strength of a Limit Douluo, Ba Huang could not be killed by a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball. Moreover, he could not obtain them now. As for higher-level fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs, they were all in the Sun Moon Federation, which he could not obtain now.
"Hmm... How could I have forgotten you?" Suddenly, a light flashed in Jiang Xiu's mind, as if he had remembered something, and he said to the Ant King and the Six-Clawed Demon King in a deep voice, word by word.
"You two, have you never heard of the Blood River God-Slaying Formation?!"
Upon hearing this name, the Ant King and the Six-Clawed Demon King were instantly filled with immense horror.
