Kill Two Birds with One Stone: Set Up the Myriad Demon King and the Clear Sky Sect!

Ye Yang finally understood why this Demon Eye Demon Tree dared to stay in the core region when it was only at the hundred-year level.

Ordinary Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts weren't even qualified to enter this place!

Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts that roamed alone had at least thirty thousand years of cultivation!

Many of the other Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts could survive only by gathering in groups.

The core region wasn't very large, but an immense number of powerful Soul Beasts had gathered there.

Even the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python occasionally appeared here.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which had sixty thousand years of cultivation and was comparable to a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and the three Fifteen Ton Ant Emperor brothers, who had ninety thousand years of cultivation,

as well as the other powerful Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, were all in this region too.

A Demon Eye Demon Tree that evolved by devouring should, by rights, have been shunned by the other Soul Beasts.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was the common enemy of all Soul Beasts.

Yet this tree, a mere hundred-year specimen, had stayed here without suffering a scratch. There had to be a reason.

"Damn it! Its backing is actually that powerful!"

"A genuine second-generation rich kid, living off its parent!"

Ye Yang felt a bit pained.

He understood the reason now.

The Myriad Demon King was a powerful Ferocious Beast with 530,000 years of cultivation!

Even among Ferocious Beasts, he ranked fifth!

And in the Star Dou Great Forest, he was second only to Di Tian, who had 890,000 years of cultivation-a powerful second-in-command!

Although the Emerald Swan, Bi Ji, was older than him, she specialized in healing, and her combat strength was far inferior to the Myriad Demon King's.

He was the strongest plant Soul Beast!

"This old fossil is so damn old, yet he still has a hundred-year-old child. What a dirty old man!"

Ye Yang cursed inwardly, feeling helpless.

As a plant, he could reproduce throughout his life.

It was only natural for seeds, roots, and the like to spread outside and produce the next generation.

Ye Yang had only said it to mock the Myriad Demon King.

He released his spiritual power and carefully sensed the Demon Eye Demon Tree's condition.

"More than half its Soul Power and soul value have been consumed."

"But seventy or eighty percent of its sap is still left!"

Ye Yang gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"I'm going all out!"

"I could let the Soul Power and spiritual power go, but I'm taking your sap and bloodline!"

The bloodline of the son of the 530,000-year-old Myriad Demon King was naturally incomparably powerful!

Tang San's mother had only been a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor, and after recultivating as a human, she had yet to reach maturity.

Yet the Tang San she gave birth to possessed a very powerful Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

In terms of innate foundation, this hundred-year-old Demon Eye Demon Tree naturally had a more powerful bloodline than Tang San!

"System! Spend another 300 points for me and strengthen the devouring!"

Ye Yang gritted his teeth, intending to speed up the devouring, then slip away quickly and keep his deeds and name hidden.

Sure enough, once the points were spent, his devouring speed tripled!

Moreover, the conversion rate for Soul Power also reached one-half!

The hundred-year-old demon tree had only twenty or thirty years' worth of Soul Power left in its body.

But with a fifty-percent conversion rate, it still supplied Ye Yang with thirteen years' worth of Soul Power.

His Soul Power reached 123 years.

His evolution points, meanwhile, continued to soar!

[ Ding! Congratulations, host! Your evolution points have reached 18. Your innate foundation can be upgraded to level 18. Upgrade? ]

...

[ Ding! Congratulations, host! Your evolution points have reached 22. Your innate foundation can be upgraded to level 22. Upgrade? ]

The system's voice rang out again and again.

"Father King!"

At the very last moment, the Demon Eye Demon Tree burned the last of its soul and let out a soul-deep cry!

Boom!

Its once-tall and luxuriant trunk crashed down.

Brittle branches snapped and withered leaves scattered, as though it were a dead tree that had been rotting for years.

All its Soul Power, sap, soul, and spirit had been devoured by Ye Yang!

At that very moment, Ye Yang's 500 points were also completely used up.

And the system's voice rang out one last time:

[ Ding! Congratulations, host! Your evolution points have reached 29. Your innate foundation can be upgraded to level 29. Up... ]

Boom!

Before Ye Yang could respond to the system, he heard an invisible shockwave!

All the flowers, grasses, trees, and other vegetation trembled, whether they were Soul Beasts or not.

Branches and leaves shook violently, as though an invisible gale had swept through them.

"Who killed this king's own child!?"

That domineering voice suddenly rang out in Ye Yang's mind!

If he had been human, Ye Yang's scalp would have gone numb and a chill would have run down his spine.

Just as he thought he had been discovered,

the powerful spiritual shock swept past him.

The voice spread violently outward from deep underground, at the very heart of the Star Dou Great Forest.

It was like the shockwave from a nuclear explosion.

Only, instead of harming the innocent, it demanded answers.

Using his status as an emperor of plants, the Myriad Demon King was asking all plants in a special way who had killed his child.

Besides plants, thousand-year Soul Beasts with higher intelligence also heard the spiritual message.

For animal Soul Beasts, this was an interrogation!

That was because the Myriad Demon King knew that only Soul Beasts over a thousand years old could hurt his child.

And plant Soul Beasts of that level could all sense his child's bloodline and identity, so they wouldn't dare hurt him.

Only among animal Soul Beasts might a powerful one appear who would dare offend the dignity of him, the Myriad Demon King.

Ye Yang had intended to hide himself with all his might, but then a thought struck him.

He suppressed his soul power and, using intermittent, barely perceptible spiritual power, pretended to be a very low-level plant Soul Beast and sent a labored message: "Human... hammer..."

Only two words, and very indistinct ones at that.

But Ye Yang believed that, with the Myriad Demon King's strength and intelligence, he would surely be able to work something out.

There was only one family sect of powerful humans who could enter the core region and used hammer Martial Souls-the Clear Sky Sect!

Sure enough, after only two short seconds, the spiritual fluctuation returned and attached itself to Ye Yang's roots.

Ye Yang had already withdrawn every trace of his presence, making himself seem like ordinary hundred-year-old Blue Silver Grass.

At such a great distance, even the Myriad Demon King couldn't tell that Ye Yang had devoured his child.

He could only sense that this was a hundred-year-old Blue Silver Grass with somewhat exceptional spiritual power.

"Yes! This king understands. A reward!"

"All plant Soul Beasts, heed my command! Report information or kill humans with hammer Martial Souls, and you shall be rewarded!"

A mere hundred-year plant Soul Beast couldn't possibly deceive him the way humans did.

Even Ten-Thousand-Year animal Soul Beasts rarely deceived him.

The Myriad Demon King suspected nothing. As the spiritual fluctuation came, the ground shook.

Soon, Ye Yang sensed an earth dragon surging toward him!

At last, it stopped in front of him.

The Myriad Demon King's spiritual presence also disappeared.

For him, it wasn't the loss of his child that had made him angry.

Given his long life and great strength, he had countless children.

What angered him was that someone had dared to challenge his authority.

Ye Yang remained silent. Only after a full half-day did he cautiously extend his spiritual power to sense what had surged toward him.

Then he was overjoyed!
