Chapter 719 404: Ancient Tree of Life, Abyssal Corruption

Becoming a God, this is undoubtedly an existence that countless families on the continent, within the Two Great Empires, dream of achieving. Even the powerful families within the Empire wouldn't mind having a few more deities within their lineage. Thor's apotheosis brought unimaginable benefits to the entire Dressrosa Family.

One could say that from this point onward, the Dressrosa Family truly completed its transformation.

They could even venture beyond the Tulip Kingdom.

As long as Thor desires and earns enough merits, he can establish a kingdom named the Dressrosa Family on the continent.

Moreover, once established, it would be a strong kingdom.

This outcome indeed excited Marshall.

Of course, while Marshall was excited, Steve and Pelos were equally ecstatic. Although they weren't members of the Dressrosa Family, they were loyal subjects to Thor. For them, the benefits were even greater than those of an average Dressrosa family member.

"Master!"

Steve cautiously spoke.

His face was somewhat flushed.

Beside him, Pelos wasn't much better.

"Let's go!"

"Let's continue our journey!"

Thor chuckled softly.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Steve and Pelos nodded promptly.

The group then left the valley.

Returning once again to the outside camp.

As the news of Thor's ascension spread.

Knights of the Knight Order, including Marco, couldn't help but become excited.

Especially Marco, his breathing became heavy.

Facing the excitement of these people, Thor didn't seem to mind too much.

After giving his instructions, he began to familiarize himself with his new divine powers.

Although he had already broken through.

The coming times would require him to stabilize.

Such as the weaving of Divinity Laws, or the transition from a domain to a Divine Kingdom.

All of these would take time.

Fortunately, these transformations wouldn't affect his power; he was now a genuine Lower-Rank God.

"Shusha!"

In the jungle, the sound of footsteps echoed.

Thor and his party continued their journey deeper.

Despite having obtained the Time Law and condensed his own Time Rule, achieving the rank of a Lower-Rank God, Thor didn't plan to return the same way. He still intended to visit the Ancient Tree of Life for an investigation.

The primary purpose was, undoubtedly, to enhance his Life Divinity at that crucial moment.

With the power of the Ancient Tree of Life, gaining insights into higher levels of the Life Law wouldn't be a problem.

The opportunity to enhance his power was something Thor wouldn't miss.

Additionally, according to daily information, the Ancient Tree of Life was about to undergo significant changes. If grasped correctly, his gains would be substantial.

Even though there was a certain degree of danger, his current strength was sufficient to be involved.

The group continued traversing.

The Demon Beast Mountain Range of Yulan Continent, deservedly spanning the entire continent, had an unimaginable expanse.

Thor and his companions had been traveling for over twenty days.

Still, they hadn't reached the inner area.

The distance to the Ancient Tree of Life was not insignificant.

It was estimated that it would take at least another half month to reach.

Of course, during these twenty days, Thor hadn't been unproductive.

During this time, he collected over a hundred Demon Cores of Tiers Four and Five, and additionally over twenty special Magic Plants sufficient for concocting Magic Potions.

Furthermore, he discovered several mining resources.

Yet, compared to the former, the mining resources were practically useless.

This was not the continent itself, nor the Tulip Kingdom. Managing it would be almost impossible. Unless the Two Great Empires could conquer the Yulan Continent.

However, it was evident that even considering the feasibility, even if it were possible, it wouldn't be an overnight affair.

The invasion of the Yulan Continent had already been ongoing for several decades.

Up to now, neither of the Two Great Empires seemed prepared to fully conquer the Yulan Continent.

Otherwise, with the strength of the Two Great Empires, even with significant losses, conquering the Yulan Continent would be possible.

Of course, Thor didn't know the actual situation.

The strength of the Yulan Continent, and the Two Great Empires, he had no exact understanding. He could only hypothesize through scattered information.

As Thor and his party rapidly approached the location of the Ancient Tree of Life.

A sanguine mist silently began to rise from the depths of the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

Carrying a foreboding aura, it continued to spread.

Yet, at this moment, no one noticed this change.

Only some weak Demon Beasts, silently, their bodies began to dissolve, turning into a pool of blood which gradually soaked into the ground.

With the permeation of this blood.

The ominous aura spread further.

The sanguine hue seemed to faintly flicker.

However, it remained eerily silent, with no one detecting anything unusual.

Time gently moved forward.

The blood red gradually deepened.

And soon, it wasn't just the weaker Demon Beasts. Even Tier One, Tier Two, and even Tier Three Magical Beasts, once touched by the sanguine aura, their bodies began to dissolve as well, turning into dense blood mist spreading in all directions.

And as the sanguine aura continued to spread.

A hundred miles from Thor's location.

A massive Knight Order magnificently entered the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
