Chapter 720 404: Ancient Tree of Life, Abyssal Corruption_2

Time slowly passed.

Half a month flew by.

Thor and his group, under Thor's leadership, finally arrived at the innermost part of the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

Compared to the outer area, the central location of the Demon Beast Mountain Range was undoubtedly more dangerous.

Here, not only are there numerous ancient ruins, but there are also many powerful Demon Beasts.

In the outer areas, the Demon Beasts are mostly only Tiers Four and Five, with the most powerful being only Tier Six. It's almost impossible to encounter a Tier Seven magical beast.

However, in the inner areas, Tier Seven magical beasts do exist.

"Boom!"

"Rumble!"

The huge booming sound echoed across the sky.

Below, Thor looked up to the sky.

And behind him, figures couldn't help but glance up at the sky, then at the figure in front of them, filled with shock.

Of course, Thor didn't care about their thoughts at this moment.

His gaze was fixed on the high sky.

His brow furrowed slightly.

"Tier Seven magical beast!"

He whispered, looking thoughtful.

"Let's go, let's continue!"

Thor spoke, then took steps forward, continuing towards the distant path.

"Okay, okay!"

The people behind him instinctively responded, quickly following along.

Until the group completely moved away.

The terrifying battle scene quickly came to a halt.

Just then, Thor, who was battling from high in the air, strode out from afar and instantly merged into Thor's body.

"Truly miraculous!"

Thor couldn't help but whisper, his expression slightly changing.

But he quickly shook his head, suppressing the thought.

The group continued forward.

This time, it didn't take long before they saw that towering giant tree in the distance.

Indeed, a towering giant tree reaching into the clouds.

The tree stretched miles, piercing through the sky.

Even at a great distance, it gave off an unprecedented sense of majesty.

Unlike the Tree of Life located on the continent of the Two Great Empires, the Tree of Life on the Yulan Continent seemed to be without a separate space.

Nor did it have the protection of Elves.

It stood alone in the center of the continent.

The rich life energy continuously spread across the entire continent.

Even with some distance remaining, Thor felt the tremor of the Life Law.

Steve, Pelos, Marshall, Marco, and others, their eyes lit up, clearly feeling the rich life energy from the Ancient Tree of Life.

"Such rich life energy!"

Steve murmured to himself, his eyes shining.

The others weren't much better.

"Let's hurry up and aim to arrive in three days."

Thor spoke softly and then stepped forward again.

His expression bore a hint of gravity.

With daily intelligence systems and the reason of Time Law,

he was already aware of the unusualness ahead.

Meanwhile,

deep within the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

Where the Ancient Tree of Life stood, blood-colored threads began to entwine around the entire tree.

A disquieting aura started to gradually infect the entire tree.

The tree swayed.

Due to the invasion of the blood-red aura, the Power of Life was constantly erupting, attempting to dispel the blood-red presence.

However, the blood-red aura clung stubbornly, like maggots gnawing on bones, wrapping around tightly.

Even though the tree continuously swayed, it couldn't drive away the blood-red aura. Instead, as time passed, the range of the blood-red spread deepened.

Meanwhile,

across the entire Demon Beast Mountain Range.

Blood-colored mist began to rise in various places, the ominous aura further spreading.

Originally confined to a small part of the inner area, it gradually expanded over the entire inner area, spreading from there in all directions.

"Begin, begin!"

"Listen to the power of the Abyss."

Above the giant tree, a man in a black robe looked on with excitement and fanaticism.

His surroundings were fully immersed in blood-red,

concealing any features, yet when confronted with life, there was an instinct to destroy.

"Roar!"

A giant beast roar sounded, and a massive phantom white tiger appeared next, a paw reaching directly for the black-robed man's figure.

"Boom!"

The ground instantly collapsed, powerful energy crushed the Sixth Layer of Space and penetrated the Seventh Layer of Space.

Such power was undoubtedly terrifying.

But that wasn't the end.

"Chirp!"

A sharp sound followed, and a giant phantom Divine Bird appeared.

Next was a massive azure giant dragon and a giant phantom tortoise.

Three figures followed immediately.

Powerful energies pounded towards the black-robed man's figure.

"Boom!"

"Rumble!"

Echoing sounds continued to resound.

The Seventh Layer of Space broke apart similarly.

The atmospheres of fire, ice, wind, and earth constantly swept over.

Aiming to destroy everything.

Yet the black-robed man's form shattered for just a moment, then boundless blood-red surged, swiftly reforming a new physique.

"It's not like the old days now."

"Nowadays, you can't destroy me."

A mocking voice came from the black-robed man's mouth.

"Roar!"

"Chirp!"

"Boom!"

"Rumble!"

Four massive phantoms enveloped the sky, launching attacks once again.

But to no avail.

The blood-red aura even started to immerse into the four massive phantoms.

Time slowly passed.

With no one noticing.

The blood-red mist grew denser, completely isolating this region.

Earth-shaking battles, unnoticed even by the Deities of the Two Great Empires and Yulan Continent fighting afar, as if on different dimensions entirely.

Which was true indeed.

If Deities and Deities occupy the same dimension, the Abyss is entirely in another.

It transcends physical realities, capable of ushering ultimate devastation.

Forget the current Deities, even if the Four Supreme Deities descended, there may not be a solution against the Abyss.

Boom.

Rumble.

The battle continued to escalate.

Simultaneously,

on the western side of the Demon Beast Mountain Range,

a figure appeared extremely battered.

"Damn it, where the hell is that bastard Heiger."

Neil Morton wore an unpleasant expression, now missing an arm, his aura exceptionally weak, and he carried a large wound from shoulder to abdomen.

Over the years, following the Outer Domain War Corps, he reached here.

His purpose was to find vengeance against Heiger.

However, Outer Domain Wars, entering alone wasn't easy.

Upon entering, he faced two Outer Domain Wars.

One costing his right arm, another nearly costing his life.

Luckily, he ultimately survived.

Finally, a chance to catch his breath.

It seems he quickly began investigating Heiger, hearing months ago that Heiger entered the Demon Beast Mountain Range, he resolutely ventured inside.

However, the Demon Beast Mountain Range was more perilous than imagined.

Just months in, the death threats he faced here exceeded those in Outer Domain War. Moments ago, he encountered a Tier Six Peak Demon Beast, narrowly escaping becoming its dung.

Fortunately, he used a Secret Technique, burning all his essence blood to break out.

But while he escaped, his body reached its limits.

Stumbling.

His consciousness even clouded.

"No, I can't collapse."

"I haven't avenged yet!"

Neil Morton gritted his teeth, but even the action felt labored.

"Thump!"

Next moment, stumbling, he hit a tree branch, losing balance.

"Not good!"

Neil Morton's expression changed, but it was merely his last conscious moment.
