The Final Frenzy, the Forest Came Alive!

He looked down at his feet.

The Flesh Altar, which had already completely collapsed, did not stop trembling even after the Demon Eye disappeared.

On the contrary.

The tremors grew increasingly violent.

An even more ancient and wilder aura is slowly rising from the depths of the earth, like a colossal beast awakening.

"It seems that the Sect Master left us a 'little gift' before he left."

Su Zhan narrowed his eyes, looking at the blood-red ancient trees around him that had been motionless.

"Click... click..."

A sickeningly loud scraping sound came from all directions.

The trees moved.

The earth is groaning.

That's not an adjective, but a real auditory experience.

The soil beneath our feet became soft like a swamp, and the once hard rocky ground began to undulate like waves.

"What is that...?"

Yuan Yuan let out a terrified scream, her finger trembling as she pointed to a towering ancient tree not far away.

The once lifeless, blood-red giant tree suddenly began to writhe like the skin of a living person with its rough bark. A huge crack appeared in the center of the trunk, from which viscous green sap flowed, resembling a gaping maw ready to devour its prey.

Its roots were pulled from the soil and transformed into countless thick tentacles, supporting the massive canopy as it stood up, swaying precariously.

More than just one.

Looking around, the entire Blood Mist Forest seemed to come alive at that moment.

Countless Vines, like wildly dancing venomous snakes, whistled and tore through the air. Thorns grew rampantly on the ground, their sharp spikes gleaming with a sinister blue light.

This was the last death order issued by the Black Demon Sect Master before his remaining will dissipated.

--Sacrifice the life force of the entire forest to strangle the invaders!

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

Elder Yuan Ji roared hoarsely, waving the half-broken Bone Staff in his hand, trying to erect a barrier of Spirit Energy.

But faced with this overwhelming horde of plants, his power was as insignificant as a candle flame in a storm.

"Boom!"

A blood-red Vines, as thick as a water bucket, lashed the ground, creating a deep crater and sending shards of stone flying like bullets.

One of the Yuan Household Disciples was unable to dodge in time and was caught by the Vines around his ankle, instantly being dragged into the churning sea of trees.

"Help! Ah--!"

The screams lasted only half a breath before being drowned out by the horrifying sounds of chewing.

From within the bushes came nauseating sounds of swallowing.

"Form ranks! Don't panic!"

With red-rimmed eyes, Yuan Chou charged forward, brandishing his broadsword, and severed the Vines attacking Yuan Yuan with a single stroke. What gushed from the cut was not tree sap, but foul-smelling black blood.

These plants had long been corrupted by Devil Qi and transformed into bloodthirsty Demons.

The concentration of Poison Fog in the air increased more than a hundredfold at that moment.

What was originally just a faint smell of blood had now turned into a visible yellowish-green miasma. Inhaling it caused a burning pain in one's lungs.

"Cough cough... cough..."

Even after taking the Detoxification Pill given to them by Su Zhan, many Yuan Household Disciples still began to cough violently, and strange green spots appeared on their skin.

A sense of despair spread through the crowd.

Having just escaped death from the Sect Master's oppressive aura, they are now trapped in this seemingly inescapable predicament.

This world seemed determined to bury them here.

Su Zhan stood in the center of the crowd, but did not make a move.

He looked at the Tree Demons Vines closing in on him, and at the poisonous miasma filling the air, but instead of panic, a strange smile appeared on his face.

That's the expression a hunter has when he sees prey covering the mountains and plains.

"Is this what they call a 'last-minute winner'?"

Su Zhan shook his head, his tone tinged with disappointment.

"If it were another method, it might cause me some trouble."

"But... doing drugs?"

He stretched out his hand, palm facing up.

An ethereal image of an ancient book, emanating a faint purple qi, slowly materialized in his hand.

"The Myriad Poisons Divine Farmer's Canon".

"Perfect timing, I haven't tested the firepower of my new toy yet."

Su Zhan's mind raced.

Within his Sea of Consciousness, the [Ancient Life Tree], which originally had only a few leaves, suddenly began to shake violently. It seemed to sense the extremely concentrated toxins in the outside world and emitted an excited buzzing sound.

[The Myriad Poisons Divine Farmer's Canon]: (Excitedly) So much! So much food! It's all high-quality mixed toxins! Boss, let me out! I want to eat!
