Dragon King Hall's Legend-Chapter 1701: Rumors of the Pu Demon Tree! The News Must Be Reported! The Corpse-Eating Ghost Is Dead!

"How terrifying!"

"There's actually a Pu Demon Tree here. Thankfully I recognize it, or I'd end up dead here like those four idiots!"

On the outskirts of the Desolate Tomb, the Corpse-Eating Ghost youth who narrowly escaped the range of the Pu Demon Tree's cattail fluff attack glanced back uncertainly, whispering in fear.

He never expected that the Pu Demon Tree, long extinct in the world outside, would still exist in this ruin.

The Pu Demon Tree is a particularly frightening demon tree. Upon maturity, it can be considered part of the Demon Race.

Yet this species has always struggled to multiply, often going tens of thousands of years without a single new tree appearing, so it's not really considered part of the Demon Race.

Furthermore, for the Pu Demon Tree to grow it needs to endlessly devour the Origin Sources of various species, including other demon races, and its widespread cattail fluff attack is terrifying.

Therefore, hundreds of thousands of years ago, it was eradicated by an alliance of major species in the outside world!

Of course, these species knew that only the Pu Demon Tree in the Canglan Realm had been eradicated; countless secret realms and ruins within the Canglan Realm might still harbor the Pu Demon Tree.

Thus, they always intended that upon discovering a Pu Demon Tree in a ruin or secret realm, they would promptly report it so that they could join forces to completely eradicate it!

However, it's been hundreds of thousands of years since a Pu Demon Tree seedling was last found in a secret realm, leading the species to believe that Pu Demon Trees have essentially been erased from the Canglan Realm, and so they haven't really concerned themselves with the issue.

Yet unexpectedly, today he discovered the presence of a Pu Demon Tree in this ruin!

Moreover, this Pu Demon Tree is not in its infancy, it can be considered in its youth.

In an instant, it obliterated three cultivators at the Mid-late stage of the Void Breaking Realm, showcasing its formidable power.

"Should I report this?"

The Corpse-Eating Ghost youth muttered, eyes flickering uncertainly.

The reasons for the Pu Demon Tree's growth rooted in this Desolate Tomb were clear: there were barely any living beings in this ruin for it to absorb their Origin Sources to grow.

In this Desolate Tomb, many powerful figures of the Human Race were interred; although they had been deceased for many years, the dissipation of their Origin Source wasn't swift and would linger in their corpses for a long time.

This was why some great powers, even in death, retained intact bodies capable of intimidating for millions of years!

The strength of the great powers in this Desolate Tomb wasn't so exaggerated, as many of their bodies had decayed, but a considerable amount of Origin Source remained.

Just right for the Pu Demon Tree to devour to grow.

So, if this Pu Demon Tree is left unchecked, it will inevitably lead to a catastrophe!

"I need to report this; although I dislike those Foreign Races, if something goes wrong, it's not only these Foreign Races that will be in trouble—the Human Race will also face significant problems, and the casualties could be even more severe!"

"Especially since it's used to devouring the Human Race's Origin Source!"

The Corpse-Eating Ghost youth's eyes flickered as he made his decision to find the strong figures of the Foreign Races within the ruin and inform them of the Pu Demon Tree, urging them to come and join forces to deal with it!

Of course, if so many Foreign Race figures at the Life and Death Realm in the ruin can't handle the Pu Demon Tree, then he must notify the outside world to send great powers at the Creation Realm or Chrono Light Realm over!

After internally making his decision, he prepared to leave the Desolate Tomb.

Suddenly...

"Whoosh whoosh!!"

A fierce rushed sound suddenly erupted from behind him!

"Hmm?!"

The Corpse-Eating Ghost youth immediately sensed something wasn't right, swiftly leaping backward and rolling on the ground!

"Boom boom!!"

Two explosive sounds echoed as a boulder behind the Corpse-Eating Ghost youth was instantly shattered into fragments, along with a ditch over a meter deep carved into the earth beneath the boulder!

"What the hell?!"

The thought had just surfaced in the Corpse-Eating Ghost youth's mind when he saw a tree three meters high, resembling a willow with long dangling branches, flying towards him from the distant sky.

"Pu Demon Tree?!"

"Why has it become so small?"

"This isn't the one from just now?!"

The Corpse-Eating Ghost youth was initially startled upon seeing the Pu Demon Tree flying at him, and immediately prepared to turn and flee.

But soon he realized something wasn't right. The Pu Demon Tree earlier was over ten meters tall, whereas this one was only three meters high; it likely wasn't the same tree but rather a young Pu Demon Tree.

This realization made the Corpse-Eating Ghost youth less panicked, and then another thought began to emerge.

Could he perhaps swallow this small Pu Demon Tree?

The Pu Demon Tree has devoured a substantial amount of Origin Sources from the corpses here—if he managed to swallow it, his power could immediately break through to the late stage of the Void Breaking Realm and reach the Life and Death Realm!

This was immensely tempting!

Just as he entertained this thought, the Pu Demon Tree swiftly floated towards him!

"Slash slash slash!!"

In an instant, the Pu Demon Tree's countless branches whipped frenziedly, striking towards the Corpse-Eating Ghost youth.

"Puff puff puff!!"

Simultaneously, dense cattail fluff scattered, flooding the hundred-mile radius with its seeds!

"No!"

"This is not another Pu Demon Tree!"

Seeing the cattail fluff appear, the Corpse-Eating Ghost youth was visibly appalled, his wicked fog in disarray as he screamed in horror.

Because a young Pu Demon Tree isn't capable of utilizing cattail fluff; only youthful and mature Pu Demon Trees can.

Therefore, the Pu Demon Tree now significantly smaller is the same tree from just before!

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!!"

At that moment, the fluff landed on the Corpse-Eating Ghost youth.

Although his shell had been refined into a Copper Armored Corpse, it wasn't truly made of copper or iron, so the fluff could naturally enter through his pores, taking root and sprouting within him. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Devouring his Origin Source!

"Damn it!!"

The Corpse-Eating Ghost youth realized the problem, let out a furious roar, and desperately activated his Evil Element before turning to flee the Desolate Tomb!

If he remained any longer, the Pu Demon Tree would drain him to death!

"Crackle!"

"Boom boom!!"

"Clang clang!!"

Just as the Corpse-Eating Ghost youth prepared to escape, the Pu Demon Tree landed ten meters behind him, its slender branches whipping violently, colliding with him, creating a fierce clanging of metal and iron.

"Boom boom boom!!"

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle..."

Though initially the Pu Demon Tree's myriad branches failed to breach the Copper Armored Corpse defenses of the Corpse-Eating Ghost youth, soon his shell, akin to a Copper Armored Corpse, was splintered by the whipping branches, exposing the rotten flesh beneath!

"Sizzle sizzle!"

Suddenly, the fluff seeds that bore into him began devouring his Origin Source at a faster, frenzied pace.

Within moments, the Corpse-Eating Ghost youth, immersed in unending despair and reluctance, was shattered, transforming into a mass of rotting flesh.

Then it reduced to a pool of thick fluid!

Despite his desperate escape from the Pu Demon Tree's strikes, he ultimately faced the same fate as Zhao Lin'er and the others, succumbing to the Pu Demon Tree.

He never managed to transmit news of the Pu Demon Tree!

He died filled with reluctance and resentment.
