Chapter 2 Purple Emperor Annihilates the Heavenly Dragon, Shadow King!
Six thousand years ago, the Douluo Continent, having lost the protection of the God Realm, encountered an unprecedented catastrophe: the invasion of the powerful Abyss Plane.
Abyssal creatures are species within the Abyssal Plane. Ordinary abyssal creatures have no consciousness or intelligence. They are fearless of death and have only one thought: to devour all life forms they can see and bring them back to the Abyssal Plane to nourish it.
Back then, under the suppression of the Douluo plane's will and the desperate struggle of several major forces, the abyssal species were completely driven back into the abyssal passage and subjected to countless seals.
As time went by, the Douluo Continent and the Abyss Plane fought for more than six thousand years. Throughout this long period, blood and tears were intertwined, and countless soldiers filled the void with their lives.
The sudden appearance of the abyssal tide caused a slight unease in Dong Zian's strong heart, for he knew very well what it meant.
A new struggle is likely about to begin.
"Commander, fortunately, the abyssal creatures in this abyssal tide are the Ant Queen clan, which ranks seventy-sixth. In addition, our rescue was timely, preventing these abyssal creatures from spreading further."
Looking at the rescue information transmitted by the soul tool in his hand, Li Jie's eyes flashed with a hint of relief, and he solemnly reported to his superior.
There are 108 layers in the Abyss Plane. The higher the ranking of a race, the stronger it is. The Ant King race is of medium to high strength, and is good at both attack and defense.
Their Western Legion, stationed in the western border, is the Blood God Legion's strongest backer. Snow City happens to be within their legion's rescue range, so when the abyssal tide appeared in Snow City, they immediately set off and arrived at the first opportunity to besiege and wipe out the abyssal creatures.
"But so many Federation citizens have already died in Snow City, it's all too late."
Dong Zian first sighed in regret, then his eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he said in a harsh voice.
"These damned bastards! When my life is nearing its end, I will definitely enter the abyss passage and slaughter them all!"
He was already there when he was besieging the abyss creatures; a mere ant king was no match for him, a Limit Douluo.
However, these abyssal creatures do not disappear after they die. Instead, they return to the abyssal plane in a unique way, carrying with them the life force they plundered, and are then reborn. This is the fundamental reason why the abyssal plane can continuously attack Douluo Continent.
Previously, he had followed the dead abyssal creatures to see from where they returned to the abyssal plane, and to investigate whether new abyssal passages had appeared.
Unfortunately, he returned empty-handed. The dead abyssal creatures drifted through the air for a distance before disappearing into thin air, and even with his Limit Douluo strength, he couldn't track them down.
"Commander..."
Li Jie was about to say something when Dong Zi'an waved his hand to interrupt him.
"After I left, did you discover any new clues or anything unusual?"
Dong Zian asked with a hint of deeper meaning, believing that there must be something unique about why the Abyss Tide appeared above Snow City.
"No, not at all..."
Li Jie shook his head thoughtfully, but then seemed to remember something. He quickly flipped through the communication soul tool in his hand, and the moment his fingers stopped, he suddenly blurted out.
"Today is the day Snow City is issuing a unified awakening of martial spirits to all six-year-old children!"
"Martial Soul Awakening?"
Upon hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in Dong Zian's eyes. After observing the orderly progress within Snow City, he pondered for a moment and then gave his instructions.
"Take me to see the surviving children."
"Yes, Commander! However, due to today being the day of Martial Soul Awakening, the number of children injured or killed is very high... and many are still unconscious."
Li Jie hesitated for a moment, but still reported it.
Now that the federation is unified, every city has established an institution to provide free martial spirit awakening for children.
On this day of awakening, facing the sudden abyssal tide, even though Snow City activated its defensive soul tools and deployed its garrison in time, the casualties were still heavy.
Abyssal creatures are not afraid of death, but Soul Masters are not, because Soul Masters are independent individuals with their own thoughts and emotions.
"Go see those who have awakened first."
Dong Zian closed his eyes in unbearable pain. Today was supposed to be the day those children would be reborn in the world of Soul Masters, but instead, they all walked towards death.
……
"You're not injured, but little brother, you need to rest more. Don't run around during this time. If you need anything, just call your sister."
At the Soul Guidance Emergency Center, the healing-type Soul Master examined Jiang Xiu again and gently gave him some instructions.
"Yes, thank you, sister."
Jiang Xiu lay on the bed and thanked them. He knew that they meant well, but he was more interested in awakening his martial spirit.
Having faced death, he craved power even more!
"Tap tap tap!"
The sound of steady footsteps rang out, followed by the opening of the Soul Guidance Gate. Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered, and in his line of sight, two soldiers in military uniforms walked in. Judging from the military insignia on their shoulders, their ranks were not low.
"Is this a military visit to offer condolences after the war? Oh well, I'm just a kid now, I doubt they'll even visit me."
Jiang Xiu didn't think much of it. He obviously couldn't get out now, so he decided to take a short rest and turned over.
But the next moment, two dark figures appeared in front of Jiang Xiu, their tall figures blocking the light.
As soon as Jiang Xiu opened his eyes, he saw two large faces.
"Little friend, don't be nervous. We're all from the military, and we're all good people. We just wanted to ask if anything unusual happened when you awakened your martial spirit?"
Li Jie patiently asked Jiang Xiu. He had already asked several children, but still got nowhere. After all, what could children understand? They were just trying their luck while offering their condolences.
When Dong Zi'an, who was behind Li Jie, saw Jiang Xiu's strange purple eyes, his eyes narrowed slightly. But when he saw Jiang Xiu's side under the light, his thick eyebrows twitched, but he didn't say anything. He just started circulating his soul power.
"No, I hadn't awakened my martial soul yet when I fainted."
Jiang Xiu shook his head slightly and answered truthfully. For some reason, he also had a lot of knowledge about the Federation's military, and lying would not do him any good.
Moreover, he did indeed fall asleep as soon as his vision went black.
"You haven't awakened your martial soul yet? Alright, thank you, little friend."
After sensing with his mental power that Jiang Xiu was not lying, Li Jie thanked him and turned to leave. As a general and the third-in-command of the Western Legion, he possessed the cultivation of a Super Douluo, so discerning the truth from falsehood was naturally a piece of cake for him.
"Wait, since the child hasn't awakened his martial soul yet, Li Jie, why don't you help him awaken it as well?"
Dong Zian reached out and pulled Li Jie, giving him instructions. Then he smiled slightly at Jiang Xiu, but the smile, combined with Dong Zian's fierce face, made it look worse than a grimace.
"Help me awaken my martial soul?"
Jiang Xiu felt a slight stirring in his heart, a hint of anticipation in his eyes. His parents in this life were both Soul Masters, and not weak ones at that. They were also members of the Blood God Legion.
But four years ago, after their last departure, all they returned with were two small medals...
From then on, he was taken to a residence arranged by the Snow City Federal Branch.
That's why he was so eager to awaken his martial spirit. Born in a chaotic world, he knew that only by having his own strength could he avoid being slaughtered!
Furthermore, if he had enough power, he would also like to try to avenge his parents in this life.
"Little friend, do you want Uncle to help you...?"
"think!"
Before Li Jie could finish speaking, Jiang Xiu nodded and said, "After all, even if he leaves here, he will still need to seek the Federation's help to awaken his martial soul. With this convenience, it's naturally better to awaken it first."
"Alright, let's begin."
Seeing this, Li Jie didn't waste any time. Six Awakening Stones suddenly flew out of his hand and landed on the ground in a strange arrangement.
"Buzz!"
With a soft sound, Li Jie's eyes suddenly transformed into yellowish-brown dragon pupils. His martial soul was clearly a powerful dragon-type martial soul. Immediately afterward, a surge of soul power was injected into the awakening stone, and a six-pointed star array appeared, initiating the awakening ceremony.
"Don't be nervous. Even if your martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, you will still have a future."
Dong Zian watched Jiang Xiu step into the room and offered a rare word of encouragement in a soft voice, but it made Jiang Xiu pause and his lips twitch. This guy really doesn't know how to talk.
As Jiang Xiu entered, countless golden rays appeared in the six-pointed star array, as if they had found their home, and surged wildly into Jiang Xiu's body.
Jiang Xiu felt as if he were enveloped in warm sunshine, his whole body feeling warm and cozy. The next moment, a booming sound came from his body, and under the pull of the golden light, it seemed as if something was shattering.
"hold head high!"
A loud dragon roar rang out, and suddenly a giant dragon phantom, its body covered in dark purple dragon scales and burning with raging purple flames, flashed past behind Jiang Xiu. Its dragon eyes were reddish-gold, like burning flames, revealing endless majesty and savagery. Every dragon scale exuded a terrifying aura of destruction.
The next moment, illusory dark purple dragon scales appeared on Jiang Xiu's body, and his pair of purple eyes suddenly transformed into dragon pupils, glowing with a crimson gold color. Two surging flames of destruction rose up on both sides of Jiang Xiu's shoulders.
"What... what is this?"
Li Jie's pupils dilated in disbelief. He was shocked to find that he had actually felt a suppression from Jiang Xiu. This suppression was not related to cultivation level, but rather to the suppression of martial spirit and bloodline!
You should know that his martial spirit is at the True Dragon level!
"It's the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon! The Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon possesses the ultimate destructive attribute."
Sensing the extreme aura of destruction, Dong Zian narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, word by word.
"The Purple Emperor Annihilated the Heavenly Dragon; it didn't disappear during the dynastic change of the Sun and Moon Imperial Family ten thousand years ago..."
Upon hearing this, Li Jie's pupils dilated, and he immediately remembered, but hesitated to speak.
"Alright, Li Jie, you can go out now."
Dong Zian waved to interrupt Li Jie, his deep gaze gesturing for him to leave. Li Jie nodded heavily, walked out of the Soul Guidance Emergency Center, and stood guard outside.
At this moment, Jiang Xiu suppressed the surging excitement in his heart. While feeling the powerful and destructive attributes of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon, he clenched his left hand tightly, and an extreme darkness quietly flickered.
"Little friend, don't be so nervous. You should still have a martial soul, right?"
Dong Zian once again revealed that smile that was even uglier than a grimace, and began to coax him gently.
"!"
