We will write code to display an inverted pyramid like the one below. Try this code first which displays same length lines 6 times. I had modified the article from the above link to display an inverted pyramid. Its simple code and easy to undertand.

Sample code in 8086 Assembly Language To Display An Inverted Pyramid

.model tiny
.code
org 100h

main proc near
    

mov characterperline,10 
mov characterperlineforspace,1
mov cx,6
loop2:  ; Loop 2 outer loop
push cx ; you have to push the cx and pop it out before loop instruction to prevent the cx being over written by the inner loop cx 
    mov cx,characterperline
    cmp cx,0    ; If cx is zero we have to display one *
    jne loop1
    inc cx      ; increment cx

    loop1:  ; inner loop
        mov ah,02h  ; Dos function 02h to Write character to STDOUT
        mov dl,'*'  ; character to write
        int 21h     ; dos interrupt 21h
    loop loop1
                   
    dec characterperline
    dec characterperline 
   
; Code to print in next line    
    mov ah,02h
    mov dl,0ah      ; carriage return
    int 21h
    mov ah,02h
    mov dl,0dh      ; line feed
    int 21h

; Code for space from line number 2
    mov cx,characterperlineforspace
    space:
        mov ah,02h  ; Dos function 02h to Write character to STDOUT
        mov dl,' '  ; character to write
        int 21h     ; dos interrupt 21h
    loop space
    inc characterperlineforspace
 

pop cx
loop loop2

mov ah,4ch  ; Dos function to terminate the return to dos
mov al,00   ; return code
int 21h     ; dos interrupt 21

characterperline dw 0
characterperlineforspace dw 0

endp   
end main

Output
