Outside the Black Mist Mountains.

As one of the top ten mountains in the Azure world, it is unknown how many monsters and beasts, as well as spiritual medicines, exist in the Black Mist Mountains. And for many cultivators, these are undoubtedly endless treasures.

Although 283 years ago, the invasion of the foreign evil gods resulted in countless evil god puppets entering the Azure world. Under the threat of life and death, many forces in the Azure world immediately formed the Azure Alliance, setting aside all grievances and gathering all their strength to resist the evil god puppets outside the world.

As a result, most cultivators went to the battlefield to fight against the evil god puppets.

There are fewer cultivators entering the Black Mist Mountains, and most of them are young cultivators with weak strength.

But even so, many cultivators still enter and exit the entrance of the Black Mist Mountains every day.

It can be foreseen how prosperous the Black Mist Mountains were before the invasion of the foreign evil gods.

"Have you noticed that in recent decades, the monsters and beasts in the Black Mist Mountains have decreased a lot?"

"Indeed, in the past when I entered the Black Mist Mountains, I had to be very careful, as I could encounter monsters and beasts at any time. But now, I rarely encounter any decent monsters and beasts."

"What could be the reason?"

"Could it be that there's a problem with the few 'kings' in the depths of the Black Mist Mountains?"

In the entrance area of the Black Mist Mountains, cultivators whispered to each other. They often enter the Black Mist Mountains and can observe changes during that time.

"The few 'kings' in the depths of the Black Mist Mountains should not have any problems. Those 'kings' come from noble bloodlines and have long lifespans. What problems could they have?"

"In the past, every few decades, the 'kings' in the Black Mist Mountains would command countless monsters and beasts, launching a beast tide. But since the invasion of the foreign evil gods, the powerful monsters and beasts in the Black Mist Mountains have become much more obedient."

"It's not that the 'kings' have problems. It's that the number of powerful monsters and beasts in the Black Mist Mountains has decreased. Could it be the doing of those 'kings'? After all, only those 'kings' can command numerous monsters."

"That makes sense."

Many cultivators discussed one after another. The decrease in the number of powerful monsters and beasts in the Black Mist Mountains also had a certain impact on them, as they couldn't hunt enough valuable monsters.

But if it really was the doing of those 'kings,' there was nothing they could do. Those 'kings' were powerful and had deep backgrounds.

Even in normal times, human cultivators could not do anything to them and could only make a 'contract' with them.

Moreover, most of humanity's strength was now focused on resisting the invasion of the foreign evil gods.Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com

In the depths of the Black Mist Mountains.

A ancient tree, about thirty to forty meters tall, stood quietly there, with dark branches and vines hanging down, and the crown of the tree was dotted with a little green.

Although this ancient tree looked a bit strange, slightly different from normal ancient trees, this was the Black Mist Mountains, where some peculiar tree species grew, so it was nothing unusual.

However.

Upon closer observation, it would be noticed that, centered on this ancient tree, there were no monsters or beasts within tens or hundreds of square kilometers.

Although the aura was peaceful and warm, there was a faintly eerie smell.

"Fifty years."

Lin Yuan sighed. Of course, in his current state, he couldn't really sigh, he could only sway his branches gently a few times.

These fifty years were the fifty years of rapid growth for Lin Yuan. With countless monsters and beasts in the Black Mist Mountains as nourishment, Lin Yuan lived very comfortably. After getting through the initial difficult period, he grew rapidly every day.

"Now."

Lin Yuan examined himself. His height had reached thirty to forty meters.

However, this thirty to forty meters was the result of Lin Yuan's extreme suppression.

If not suppressed, he could easily break through hundreds of meters, which would be extremely conspicuous in the Black Mist Mountains.

It might even attract the attention of the leader of the Azure Alliance and several deputy leaders.

Once this happened, Lin Yuan's true identity would probably be exposed. If the leader of the Azure Alliance knew that the descendant of the ancestor demon tree from his own world had infiltrated their world...

It's very likely that he would temporarily put aside the gains and losses on the battlefield and concentrate all his strength on dealing with Lin Yuan.

One must first secure internal stability before dealing with external threats.

This principle was not difficult to understand.

Although Lin Yuan's height was only thirty to forty meters now.

But the roots of the demon tree had spread throughout the surrounding tens of thousands of miles underground.

As long as Lin Yuan was willing, he could take action at any position within tens of thousands of miles with just a thought.

The roots of plants and trees were originally much larger than their trunks. Although the demon tree was not completely a tree, he still possessed the abilities of trees.

"Within a radius of thousands of miles."

Lin Yuan carefully sensed that with the assistance of the roots, he could control everything within tens of thousands of miles.

Even with the extended perception of the roots, he could perceive information tens of thousands or even millions of miles away.

"The 'kings' in the deepest part?"

Lin Yuan's perception spread out, exploring towards the deepest part of the Black Mist Mountains.

There, it was the forbidden area of all monsters and beasts, the place where the 'kings' of the Black Mist Mountains lived.

"Hmm?"

Swoosh.

The purple-eyed rabbit observed its surroundings, found no danger, and then swooshed towards the spiritual grass.

However, at this moment.

A black tree trunk emerged from the ground, directly binding the purple-eyed rabbit and dragging it underground.

In just a moment.

The purple-eyed rabbit appeared in front of Lin Yuan.

"Squeak squeak."

The purple-eyed rabbit made trembling sounds, looking at the colossal figure in front of it, continuously spinning in place.

"I'll use you to test the parasitic effect."

Lin Yuan stared at the purple-eyed rabbit, and a gray seed fell down, landing directly on the purple-eyed rabbit.

Buzz.

The purple-eyed rabbit thumped to the ground, and the gray demon seed quickly infiltrated its head.

A moment later.

The purple-eyed rabbit was completely under control. It stiffly stood up and emitted a submissive spiritual fluctuation towards Lin Yuan.

"This feeling."

Lin Yuan examined the purple-eyed rabbit. Under his control, the purple-eyed rabbit made various movements, rolling or running.

"Quite impressive," Lin Yuan nodded slightly. The purple-eyed rabbit, now under the control of the demon tree seed, was still alive, but it had been replaced by the demon seed.

"However," Lin Yuan continued, "this is too obvious."

He observed the purple-eyed rabbit, now stiff and dull-eyed, even moving with a noticeable sluggishness.

"It's no wonder the ancestor demon tree didn't use the parasitic ability of the demon seed. It's indeed somewhat impractical," Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Although the parasitic ability of the demon seed did not require the expenditure of energy to spawn, it had many limitations. The most crucial one was that the host must not resist.

Since the host couldn't resist, why bother wasting energy on parasitism when it could be killed and consumed directly?

Furthermore, after parasitism, the control was obvious, making it difficult for strong individuals in the Azure world not to notice.

"However... Can I improve this parasitic ability with my extraordinary insight?" Lin Yuan's expression sank into brief contemplation.

When he first arrived in this world, Lin Yuan used his extraordinary insight to create a method of cultivation suitable for the demon tree seed.

Now, with this demon seed, Lin Yuan could completely refine it.

Of course, the parasitic ability of the demon seed was an innate ability of the demon tree.

Improving and perfecting it would be difficult, but with Lin Yuan's extraordinary insight, it was worth a try.

In the following time, Lin Yuan mainly focused on four aspects.

Firstly, continuing to enhance his strength by devouring more monsters and beasts to promote his growth.

Secondly, perfecting the seventh-level evolution path of martial arts.

Thirdly, comprehending the remaining core spatial models.

Although he lost the environment with frequent spatial fluctuations in the alien battlefield, the speed of Lin Yuan's comprehension of the core spatial models decreased. But with more time on his hands, having spent six hundred years in this world, Lin Yuan, with his extraordinary insight, could elevate his understanding of spatial rules to an incredible level.

Fourthly, attempting to improve the demon seed.

Although the demon seed was a crucial tool for the ancestor demon tree, Lin Yuan still planned to invest some time and effort in this area.

Even if there were gains to be had, he would be delighted. And even if there were no gains in the end, he wouldn't lose anything.

Time passed once again.

In the blink of an eye, more time had passed.

Deep in the Black Mist Mountains,

Lin Yuan's figure rose again by ten meters. By now, the height of the demon tree had reached nearly fifty meters, its branches drooping, its canopy swaying, extraordinarily imposing.

This was still the effect of Lin Yuan's extreme suppression. If allowed to grow freely, the demon tree at this moment would be hundreds or even thousands of meters tall.

It was worth noting that the ancestor demon tree in the outer realm, whose height was immeasurable, had millions or even tens of millions of demon seeds growing on a single branch.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to stalemate with the Azure world until now.

"My strength has temporarily reached its limit."

"Next, consuming ordinary monsters and beasts won't have much effect."

Lin Yuan's spiritual fluctuations slowly spread as he looked into the depths of the Black Mist Mountains.

That was where the supreme 'king' of the Black Mist Mountains resided.
