Two Worlds: Demonic Cultivator with His Zombie Materials-Chapter 249 - 141: Soul Devourer? Evolution Fruit_2
In Zheng Yi’s view, these zombie evolvers are already quite troublesome. Their pure physical attacks are exceptionally powerful, and even ordinary superpower users have to expend significant effort to deal with these monsters.
If you fall into the encirclement of the Crawlers, it would be even more troublesome.
Unfortunately for them, they are dealing with him. In front of Zheng Yi, as his thoughts flickered, he left behind a trail of corpses wherever he went.
It must be said, the progress of the Rute Army’s underground human laboratory is astonishingly fast. Through years of research and accumulation, they have mastered a considerable amount of data.
The Crawlers are just the most basic zombie evolvers, and more high-level humanoid biological modifications have also seen breakthrough advancements.
Especially as they have already applied these zombie evolutionary forms on their own personnel.
When Zheng Yi transformed into the Tai Mountain Divine Face and overlooked the base, the Rute Army’s leader, the General, had transformed into the Fearful, and other twice-evolved Tyrants all had strength comparable to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
If given sufficient time, the Tru Army can feasibly cultivate a terrifying biochemical army.
By then, even without the sudden emergence of the Soul Hall, the power distribution in Luo City would face tremendous changes.
Of course, it’s also possible that mutated creatures would get out of control and escape the military base, resulting in unimaginable disaster.
At the very least, other smaller factions in Luo City would find it exceedingly difficult to resist the assault of such mutated beasts.
For Zheng Yi, personally taking action to destroy the Redemption Alliance and the Rute Army’s military bases was a convenient move but also effectively eliminated the two biggest tumors for Luo City.
...
"So that’s it, it turns out there are other secrets beneath this military base..."
Casually grabbing a few researchers, Zheng Yi was not in the mood for nonsense. Trying to pry secrets from their mouths would require a lot of words, so he simply went straight to soul searching.
After all, everyone here, without exception, was guilty.
With his current powerful Divine Soul Power, he could obtain a wealth of memory fragments by drawing souls from ordinary people, many of which revealed intricate secrets of the research base that shocked even Zheng Yi.
What stood out more was a deeper understanding of the cruel nature of human experimentation.
Indeed, the most brutal acts against one’s kind in this world are often carried out by humans themselves.
Among the abundance of insider information extracted from their minds, one piece piqued Zheng Yi’s intense interest.
With the changing world rules, the arrival of the Blood Moon, and the emergence of zombies, this world has seen the appearance of many creatures beyond conventional comprehension, stretching human imagination.
For instance, the Tai Sui Human Brain on the eighth underground floor of the Black God Group Mansion, or the Underground Corpse God worshipped by the Redemption Alliance Church...
Now, Zheng Yi discovered another one at the deepest level of the Rute Army’s military research base.
Skull Cannibal Tree!
From the memories of those researchers, Zheng Yi found that many of the biochemical human research experiments seemed to revolve around this Skull Cannibal Tree.
This horrifying skull tree can be considered a central element of the entire laboratory.
Zheng Yi continued downwards until he reached the last layer of the underground research space of the base.
He was suddenly astounded to find that it was unbelievably vast, like a standalone open space.
In the center of the empty space stood an ancient tree, towering four or five stories high.
At first glance, it gave a supremely evil vibe.
Without getting close, just a distant glance caused a sinister sensation to envelop the body, constantly eroding one’s soul as if twisting one’s spirit and will.
The tree was completely black, devoid of any leaves, with gnarled branches and numerous human skulls wedged snugly and growing alongside the tree, possibly explaining its name.
Indeed, a bizarre tree, seemingly ready to devour you at any moment.
"The trunk even has a human face?!"
"This thing resembles the Soul-devouring Tree mentioned in the folklore of the Soul Catching Sect, but its appearance is vastly different..."
Zheng Yi’s sharp gaze scanned the thick trunk that even seven or eight people couldn’t encircle, further sparking his curiosity.
As he approached, a crack slowly appeared between his brows, with golden light seeping out, aiding him in seeing through all illusions.
Zheng Yi was surprised to find that not only did the tree trunk have a human face but at the core of the tree, a cluster of soul body energy floated faintly, as if the monstrous tree had devoured so many humans it began to develop its own Spirit Body.
And that soul body was a terrifying twisted human skull face.
Although it appeared to lack eyes, a nose, or other features, more resembling a skeletal white mask, its basic contours were undeniably manifesting.
"This Skull Tree might indeed be the Soul-devouring Tree from the Soul Catching Sect folklore?! Only it mutated in the Doomsday World, having devoured too many monsters and zombies..."
A daring thought arose in Zheng Yi’s mind.
"This Soul-devouring Tree would be a jewel among plants for cultivators practicing Ghost-Controlling Dao techniques, perhaps even nurturable as a Lifebound Spirit Plant..."
"Let’s give it a try!"
Intrigued, Zheng Yi extended his hand, releasing powerful magical power, and directly grabbed a Crawler from the space above, yanking it down hard.
