Chapter 1575: Chapter 1575

The number is not as many as the Demon Mother Tree produced, only about twenty.

But the previous fruits produced by the Demon Mother Tree were abundant enough, with sixty Demon Trees simultaneously bearing fruit, the number of Demon Tree People hatched at once was still quite astonishing, directly exceeding a thousand.

These Demon Tree People almost matured and landed at the same time, and they swarmed into the surrounding forest in groups.

The whole forest was in chaos, with all the birds and beasts fleeing in the direction away from the Demon Trees.

Soon, those Demon Tree People returned from the forest, invariably carrying prey in their hands to some extent.

Before they got close, the vines of those Demon Trees eagerly descended, directly grabbing the prey and stuffing it into the large mouths on the tree bodies.

Although these large mouths are filled with thorn-like toothy spikes, they are obviously not used for gnawing food, but for piercing the prey when necessary to prevent them from escaping.

And the food delivered by these Demon Tree People was either paralyzed by toxic attacks or already dead, so there was no worry on this front, and it was directly gulped swallowed into the body.

With a large amount of prey ingested, dense black mist emanated from these Demon Trees, and the surrounding forest began to twist at a visible speed, the trees becoming bizarre and withering, replaced by thickets of thorn shrubs, countless vines, and grass like dead branches, growing using those withered trees as nutrients.

When they grew to a certain extent, these strangely shaped monsters uprooted their roots, transforming into a group of new Dark Animated Plants. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽

Once in action, these Dark Animated Plants immediately followed the Demon Tree People’s lead in hunting, bringing more plants to feed the Demon Trees.

With more blood food, these Demon Trees could corrupt a larger area of the forest, producing more Dark Animated Plants, and some blood nutrients were absorbed back by the Demon Mother Tree through its thick and incredible roots, and its previously empty crown began a new round of bearing fruits.

But compared to the earlier visible pace, this round was evidently much slower, for even Slaughter Divine Power was not omnipotent and could only accelerate under certain basic conditions.

The Demon Mother Tree wanted to hatch new fruits and needed a large amount of blood food to nourish it.

Even so, the development speed of the Demon Mother Tree was incredibly terrifying, Khan Yamen’s Slaughter Divine Power saving her at least decades of time—this was the time usually required for Demon Tree People to grow into Demon Trees.

Meanwhile, the infusion of Khan Yamen’s Slaughter Divine Power was nearing its end.

Describing it as an infusion is not entirely accurate; a more precise term would be tempering.

Slaughter Divine Power is not one-way; if it were, Khan Yamen would’ve been exhausted long ago, unable to sustain until now; he’s not a boundless ocean carrying so much Slaughter Divine Power.

In fact, the Slaughter Divine Power on him within the Demon Mother Tree is of a two-way nature.

A large amount of dross carried within the Slaughter Divine Power, especially those overflowing with endless resentment, was mostly consumed by the Demon Mother Tree, converting it into its own growth nutrients.

The most pure part was re-collected by Khan Yamen.

At this moment, Khan Yamen no longer appeared overwhelming with demonic energy, ready to lose control; his vision restored clarity, and the blood mist directly condensed on him into a blood-red armor, making him look extraordinarily mighty.

This was purely an unexpected gain.

Khan Yamen did not anticipate that during the fortification and enhancement of the Demon Mother Tree, it would effectively alleviate his symptoms of losing control.

Although this was achieved by weakening a part of his power, it was worthwhile, as he was interested only in becoming the God of Slaughter, not in becoming a tool for Bal, the former God of Slaughter, to be reborn.

"Thank you, master, for the holy power granted; I will not disappoint the master’s expectations to stir the entire Great Valley, poison all forests and water sources, and kill all creatures here," the Demon Mother Tree shouted loudly at Khan Yamen.

His words were full of intense confidence and excitement.

Slaughter Divine Power combined perfectly with his traits.

Just given a day and a half, he could organize a Dark Animated Plant Army numbering in tens of thousands.

Even without Khan Yamen’s orders, he would conquer territories because densely populated areas are the best source of blood food; compared to these Forest Creatures, humanoid beings with intelligence are the favorite of Demon Trees, as the corruption scope and effect of a single soul are ten times that of ordinary creatures.

"This is merely a beginning," Khan Yamen was satisfied with this masterpiece, "as long as you cooperate properly, allowing my army to advance westward, all corpses along the way are yours."

"If indeed so, I will organize a new army as the master’s vanguard to help you reclaim the Slaughter Divine Position and reinstate your godhood," the Demon Mother Tree promised passionately.

He has now become a loyal follower of Khan Yamen, hoping his army will completely defeat the Laiserman and kill across Lake Asen, as this entirely aligns with his interests.
