When he calmed down, his long robe puffed up, and his bloated body appeared in the void. The surrounding aura became restless with the appearance of the corpse.
The space began to fluctuate.
The freshly rooted Dark Withered Tree sensed a different aura. Its distorted face stared straight at the sky, and it felt a strong power surging within it.
It realized that it would gain tremendous power after devouring the divine corpse.
“This is the corpse of the Lord of Greed,” said Su Wan. “Bestow it on you.”
The Lord of Greed’s divine corpse fell right in front of the Dark Withered Tree.
The Dark Withered Tree was joyful. The roots pulled and submerged the divine corpse in the swamp. The aura of the Dark Withered Tree began to rise rapidly.
Golden fruits appeared on the branches of the tree. The fruit formed by the soul power of the Dark Withered Tree could enhance one’s life force. It had a strong allure to everything living on the land.
The Dark Withered Tree lured countless beings toward the fruits, only to get them killed.
The golden fruits produced by the Dark Withered Tree were more tempting than before. As the fruits grew, the irresistible temptation to pluck it became more intense.
The God of Deception and Lies didn’t hesitate. His body shimmered with faint energy. The aura became heightened and spread in all directions.
The creatures still battling within the blood mist instinctively looked toward the Dark Withered Tree. The smell of the fruit was too strong. Their souls craved it.
For ordinary creatures, they had no other basal desire than to become stronger. The golden fruits produced by the Dark Withered Tree affected their desires and heightened it.
The creatures fighting in the blood mist had their desires awakened, and they became restless.
Many soldiers even abandoned the battle and retreated. They searched for the fruit that their very souls longed for.
However, the blood mist obstructed their vision, and they could only smell the fruits. They couldn’t find the fruits anywhere. They became more and more restless.
Su Wan was the master of the Death Swamp. The blood mist blurred the outsider’s vision and perception, but for her, it made her perception sharper.
With the help of the blood mist, she could sense the movements in the entire swamp. The troops from other planes had already begun to wander around aimlessly.
The Lion of Greed let out a roar. Golden power surged out from its fur and swept toward the surroundings like a shockwave.
In the blink of an eye, it covered the entire swamp.
The creatures became alert. They looked greedy and impatient. They were unwilling to share what they sensed with even their companions.
Everyone was filled with vigilance and hatred. Through the dense blood mist, the creatures saw the golden fruits hanging on the withered branches.
The creatures who saw it trembled in excitement. They looked ecstatic. Their souls became restless as if they had caught a whiff of the scent of immortality.
The creatures looked bewitched. They swarmed toward the fruits. As they approached nearer, the yearning grew intense.
The Taurens gripped their battleaxes tightly as they watched a Lizardfolk being beheaded by someone ahead.
The attention of the Lizardfolk was focused on the fruits completely. As it fell, its blood and entrails splattered everywhere.
“Those fruits belong to the Taurens!”
The Lizardfolks were enraged to see their companion fall. The Taurens had killed their people!
The Lizardfolks charged at the Taurens in rage. They wielded their battleaxes and launched a united attack.
A battle erupted in the chaos. Ten and thousands of troops gathered and fought.
Their rationality had been completely consumed by greed. As they looked at the golden fruits swaying in the blood mist, the entire swamp descended into madness.
Within the swamp, a battle ten times fiercer than before broke out. There seemed to be no possibility of things settling down for quite a while.
Time passed, and within less than two hours of the appearance of the golden fruits, corpses filled the swamp. The bodies that fell in the swamp were more than the rate at which the swamp could devour them.
As the war escalated, every creature coveted the golden fruits. Many higher-level creatures sent people to investigate. ｂｅ𝚍ｎｏｖｅ𝚕．ｃｏｍ
Those who examined the area indeed found faint golden fruits in the blood mist. The unique aura made it impossible for them to divert their eyes away from the branches.
After the confirmation, the rulers of the planes rushed into the Death Swamp to get the fruits for themselves.
When they saw the fruits, they fell into madness.
No one was able to withstand the temptation of the golden fruits. Their desires erupted and devoured their rationality.
More and more troops began to emerge from different planes. They all headed toward the golden fruits. They had only one goal, and that was to own the fruits.
A bloody and cruel battle erupted in the swamp. The number of fallen bodies in the swamp was impossible to keep count.
The higher-level heroes of the planes personally led their armies into battle. However, what concerned them was that no matter how long they looked, they couldn’t find the fruits at all.
Their greedy desires dissipated slightly in the face of the countless bodies scattered around the swamp. The battle began to slow down.
The loss of lives was evident. It was all a waste.
Just when everyone began to calm down, the golden fruits revealed themselves. It was as though the fruits were growing rapidly in front of their very eyes.
It attracted the attention of many people and reignited the conflict. The desire to possess those fruits was extreme.
As the conflict reached its peak, a ripe golden fruit fell quietly from the branch into the blood mist.
Everyone in the swamp was wide-eyed. The fighting came to a standstill for a moment. They struggled to make sense of it. They couldn’t even see the fruits properly. Everything felt surreal.
If they couldn’t even see it properly, was it really worth fighting for?
