Sea Emperor deliberately provoked the Purgatory Demon Tree. His purpose was simple: to make the Purgatory Demon Tree vent its fury on him.

He originally had seventy-two branches. Pulling out just two or three would have been enough to threaten Liliath and the others' lives, but now, that threat had been removed.
Liliath's group also knew that Sea Emperor had won them this opportunity, so they accelerated their slaughter. They understood clearly that the Purgatory Demon Tree's rage was only temporary. Once he had vented this fury and regained his senses, he would likely abandon Sea Emperor at once and launch a frenzied assault against them.
