Na: Demon Tree (Lin Yuan)
Identity: Controller of the Gate of the Myriad Realms
Bound Talent: Unrivaled Insight
Divine Ability: Blood Rebirth
Current Status: Consciousness Descended
Remaining Residency Ti: Five Hundred Years
"Another thirty years have passed."
Deep within the Black Mist Mountains, Lin Yuan transford into the Demon Tree. Although only a hundred ters tall, its roots spread out for tens of millions of miles in all directions.
Even its hundred-ter stature was the result of Lin Yuan's utmost suppression. If it chose to unleash itself, it could easily swell tens of millions of tis, obscuring the sky.
"Master, master."
At this mont, a bird with blue wings flew over and landed on Lin Yuan's trunk.
Compared to Lin Yuan, this blue-winged bird's aura was extrely faint. However, in the outside world, it was still a king among monsters, commanding countless powerful and fierce beasts.
"Everything is normal, master."
The blue-winged bird spoke respectfully.
This blue-winged bird had long been parasitized by Lin Yuan with a demon seed, making it absolutely loyal to him.
In a sense, there was hardly any difference between this blue-winged bird and Lin Yuan's incarnation. Being replaced by the demon seed of the Demon Tree, as long as Lin Yuan wished, it could beco his vessel at any ti, with consciousness descending from afar.
"Don't let your guard down."
Lin Yuan reminded.
"Rest assured, master."
The blue-winged bird imdiately replied.
Its tone and deanor were no different from a normal monster king.
Over the past thirty years, Lin Yuan had made considerable progress in parasitizing life forms with demon seeds.
Parasitized beings showed hardly any external abnormalities. Even due to the influence of their original mories, their expressions and habits had not changed.
It had reached a level of perfect deception.
In fact, it couldn't be said to be perfect deception. Essentially, the life forms parasitized by the demon seeds were still alive; it's just that under the influence of the demon seeds, they subconsciously regarded Lin Yuan as their absolute loyal object.
"The talents of the extraterritorial gods are truly unimaginable."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
In fact, Lin Yuan was overthinking it. The parasitic thods of the primordial Demon Tree had significant flaws. The parasitized beings had many restrictions, and even if successful, they couldn't disguise their original selves.
Their movents were stiff, their gaze vacant, and they could only be used as cannon fodder.
What Lin Yuan had perfected now was not so much the terrifying abilities of the extraterritorial gods as it was his own Unrivaled Insight.
Being able to deduce advanced thods from known things was truly astounding progress.
"However, within the Azure world, strong individuals have been mostly deployed to the battlefield outside the world. Now, within the Azure world, apart from those monster kings, there are no other lives worth parasitizing."
Lin Yuan sighed.
Although the perfected parasitic thod could perfectly replace the parasitized beings, the difficulty of giving birth to the core demon seed of the Demon Tree had also greatly increased.
If it were just the initial parasitism, Lin Yuan could condense tens of thousands or even millions of demon tree seeds with a single thought.
But now, it took him half a year to condense one.
Currently, apart from using the demon tree seeds on the seven monster kings of the Black Mist Mountains, Lin Yuan only had thirty-six seeds left.
And Lin Yuan vaguely felt that a maximum of one hundred demon tree seeds could exist simultaneously.
Simply put, regardless of whether they had already parasitized other lives or not, there could only be a maximum of one hundred demon tree seeds.
To condense the hundred and first seed, it was necessary for one of the parasitized beings to die and the demon tree seed to be destroyed.
But even so, the total number of demon tree seeds would still be one hundred.
"Why is this? Is it a rule or a restriction of the Dao?"
Lin Yuan pondered.
This phenonon often occurred in the main world's cosmic sky as well.
For example, those special lives with powerful talents and a very high starting point. Precisely because of this, the number of such special lives was very few.
Did these special lives not want to reproduce offspring?
Not necessarily.
It was because they couldn't reproduce, or reproduction was very difficult.
Relatively speaking, the reproduction of human civilization was much easier.
But individual humans basically had no talent, and their starting point was very low. A first-rank evolver was already superior to ninety-nine percent of humans.
Precisely because the difficulty of condensing the perfected demon tree seeds had increased, Lin Yuan did not continue parasitizing. He couldn't just casually choose a human in this world to parasitize, could he? That would be a waste.
Lin Yuan's parasitic targets had to be at least sixth rank, otherwise, it would be a waste, without the value of parasitism.
"But... in such a long ti, besides awakening the talent of the demon tree seed, I haven't awakened any other abilities?"
Lin Yuan fell into a brief contemplation.
As an extradinsional god spanning the realms, feeding on worlds, how could the primordial Demon Tree have only one talent, the demon tree seed? Just thinking about it made it seem impossible.
If there were only demon tree seeds, how could the primordial Demon Tree contend with countless strong individuals from the Azure world outside the world for such a long ti?
Keep in mind, over the years through continuous inquiries, Lin Yuan also understood the basic configuration of the Azure world's alliance.
First, there was the leader of the Azure Alliance, with the peak strength of the sixth rank, wielding the World Sword, capable of exerting eighth-rank power.
Secondly, there were twelve deputy leaders, all of them sixth-rank powerhouses.
Thirdly, there were thirty-three guardians, peak sixth-rank powerhouses.
Finally, there are one hundred and fifty-six elders, all sixth-rank powerhouses.
The strength of the Azure world is very strong. In the main world, it would at least be considered an ordinary group, second only to peak groups and powerful groups.
For the primordial Demon Tree to be able to confront the Azure Alliance for such a long ti, its thods and heritage must be absolutely comparable, if not stronger.
"It should have left a contingency plan for ."
"It's normal. Even as the primordial, it's impossible to completely trust its offspring."
Lin Yuan nodded slightly. He speculated that he was probably restricted by the primordial Demon Tree. As a descendant, the other party had left so ans on him, which was quite simple.
"Just a little bit more, and I can grow to the seventh rank. No rush for now."
Lin Yuan examined himself. Thirty years ago, he had already reached the peak of the sixth stage.
Here, the sixth stage and seventh stage referred not to the realm's power level, but to the height of the Demon Tree's growth.
The reason Lin Yuan was unwilling to enter the seventh stage was because Demon Trees at this rank were almost on par with the primordial Demon Tree.
Although the primordial Demon Tree was claid to be at the eighth rank, it was only a claim. In essence, it was between the seventh and eighth ranks.
If Lin Yuan advanced to the seventh stage, another Demon Tree of the sa level would be born. Even with the Azure world separating them and Lin Yuan operating secret techniques to conceal himself, the primordial Demon Tree would still sense it.
At that ti, the primordial Demon Tree would undoubtedly activate its contingency plan without hesitation.
The appearance of a second seventh-stage Demon Tree could very likely replace the primordial Demon Tree and beco the new extraterritorial god.
Compared to that, the Azure world ant nothing.
Of course, Lin Yuan had long sealed the primordial Demon Tree's contingency plan, equivalent to breaking free from its control.
But if such a scene really occurred, Lin Yuan estimated it would be difficult to gain any benefits from the primordial Demon Tree.
So, before confronting the primordial Demon Tree, Lin Yuan wouldn't advance to the seventh stage.
Anyway, the growth ranks of the Demon Tree were not related to strength.
Even in the sixth stage, Lin Yuan's strength would continue to improve.
"How is the situation on your end? When will you advance to the fifth stage?"
Several days later, the primordial Demon Tree contacted Lin Yuan proactively, with a slightly anxious tone.
In the past thirty years, the leader of the Azure Alliance had been acting like crazy, repeatedly targeting it.
If it were before, the primordial Demon Tree would definitely not indulge it.
But over the past few decades, in order to support Lin Yuan, it had already sacrificed a large part of its own origin, and its decline in strength was very obvious.
The primordial Demon Tree vaguely felt that the leader of the Azure Alliance had already sensed its decline in strength and was now taking advantage of it.
"Ancestor, I've been targeted by the King Elephant of the Black Mist Mountains. I don't have ti to cultivate at all now. That King Elephant is too powerful. I have no ans of attack and can only passively defend and escape. It's too difficult."
Lin Yuan couldn't help but say, glancing at the nearby kneeling giant elephant, continuing to plead, "Ancestor, if I could kill the King Elephant, I should be able to advance to the fifth stage in a short ti."
In theory, with the primordial Demon Tree's supply of original power, Lin Yuan should have advanced to the fifth stage long ago.
But Lin Yuan's reasoning was flawless; he was being hunted down and had no ti to cultivate and grow.
"Kill the King Elephant."
The primordial Demon Tree's thoughts fluctuated. Besides being able to decide the life and death of its offspring with a single thought, it could also restrict many of their abilities and talents.
This was also a contingency plan left by the primordial Demon Tree.
If every offspring Demon Tree possessed all the abilities and talents of the primordial Demon Tree, once one of them grew to the seventh stage, it would be equivalent to a weakened version of the primordial Demon Tree. At that ti, an awkward situation would arise.
And as long as the talents of the offspring Demon Trees were restricted, even if one of them luckily grew to the seventh stage, they would have no substantial combat ability and would be unable to resist the primordial Demon Tree.
"Never mind."
"Opening up the talent abilities is not a big deal."
"As long as I solve that King Elephant, let it advance to the fifth stage, and establish a spatial channel, when I descend into the Azure world, I will imdiately 'reclaim' it, and there will be no hidden dangers."
The primordial Demon Tree seriously contemplated.
It didn't know Lin Yuan's current situation.
By now, Lin Yuan had beco the "Uncrowned King" of the Black Mist Mountains, and if he wished, he could completely cause a real disaster in the Azure world's rear.
To be honest, even if Lin Yuan now told the primordial Demon Tree about his situation, it might not believe it.
Because it was too unimaginable.
In just a hundred years, in the depths of the Azure world, isolated and helpless, with his combat talent locked, Lin Yuan was able to preserve his life, which was already extrely difficult.
"Alright."
"I will bestow upon you more talent abilities."
The primordial Demon Tree gritted its teeth and began to release its suppression on Lin Yuan.
Hum. In the deepest part of the Black Mist Mountains.
Lin Yuan's consciousness converged in front of that cluster of pitch-black flas at the root area.
Just at this mont.
A slight fluctuation slowly emanated from the pitch-black flas.
Seeing this, Lin Yuan almost directly activated the seal to suppress the pitch-black flas. However, he thought for a mont that he should still have so use for the primordial Demon Tree at the mont.
The other party wouldn't take action.
"Let's see what this fluctuation is about first."
Lin Yuan was cautious, ready to activate the sealing thod at any ti. If this fluctuation had any negative impact on him, he would imdiately stop the sealing.
Hum. The mysterious fluctuation spread slowly.
Upon contacting Lin Yuan's main body, it seed to release so kind of restraint.
Lin Yuan suddenly felt extrely satisfied all over his body.
"This..."
Almost at the sa ti, nurous talent abilities from the primordial Demon Tree flooded into Lin Yuan's mind.
There was the Root of Void.
The primordial Demon Tree could insert its roots into the void, absorbing nearly infinite void energy.
This energy was also the most important ability for each extraterritorial god.
Extraterritorial gods road the vast and endless void and might not find a single world for thousands or tens of thousands of years.
During this ti, how could extraterritorial gods survive? The void was filled with spatial turbulence and was unable to be absorbed.
At this ti, the use of the Root of Void ca into play.
It was to maintain the basic survival of the extraterritorial gods.
In addition to the Root of Void.
Lin Yuan also awakened a large number of attack abilities.
Such as spatial whip strikes, demonic gazes, and so on.
These talent-like abilities were the foundation of the primordial Demon Tree's dominance outside the world.
Even if encountering other extraterritorial gods, they could still contend with them.
"So many, too many."
Lin Yuan was extrely pleasantly surprised. He originally thought that the primordial Demon Tree would unlock these talent abilities one by one.
But he didn't expect the other party to be so generous and directly open them all?
"From this perspective, it should be very difficult for the primordial Demon Tree to endure the situation outside the world."
Lin Yuan thought to himself, but in a flash, he focused all his attention on these awakened abilities.
Many of the primordial Demon Tree's abilities were extrely rare and even bizarre, no less inferior to fleshly divine abilities like 'Blood Rebirth'.
With his extraordinary comprehension, Lin Yuan could completely comprehend these abilities and integrate them into the system of martial evolution.
"Ancestor."
Lin Yuan was just about to express his gratitude to the primordial Demon Tree and express his loyalty.
But he heard the primordial Demon Tree suddenly roar in anger.
Imdiately, the furious voice of the primordial Demon Tree ca: "That lunatic is here again, damn it, does he really think that wielding the World Sword, I can't kill him?"
The next mont.
The connection between Lin Yuan and the primordial Demon Tree was severed.
Obviously, the primordial Demon Tree was forced to confront the leader of the Azure Alliance and didn't have the energy to maintain contact with Lin Yuan.
"Miserable."
Lin Yuan remained silent for a while, sighed.
The primordial Demon Tree was fighting for its life outside the world, and because it had given all its origin to Lin Yuan, it was also subject to a certain degree of suppression.
And the culprit behind all this was Lin Yuan, who was leisurely staying in the rear of the Azure world, using the resources he obtained from the primordial Demon Tree to continuously cultivate and rapidly beco stronger.
The two situations were worlds apart.
It made Lin Yuan feel a little embarrassed.
