Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 622: Chapter 616: Terrifying Death Qi

S-level Lord Demon!

After examining the Tree Demon’s attributes, Lin You’s gaze sharpened.

Averaging over 1,700,000 in attributes, it has already surpassed the level of Seven Divine Formats.

Two or three are manageable; relying on the Royal Family and Legendary Species, he can barely defeat them.

But the Death Tree Demon before him is far more than just two or three; the twisted figures stretch endlessly into the distance, easily numbering three hundred.

Should they swarm him, even with the power of Nine Divine Formats, he wouldn’t withstand it.

Moreover, the most terrifying aspect is the Death Qi emanating from these Death Tree Demons, merging and permeating to form a thick black fog throughout the nest, nearly reaching the sky.

Rushing in recklessly is likely to have unimaginable consequences.

The danger level in this large Demon Space is indeed much greater than those smaller spaces encountered before.

Lin You’s expression was solemn, showing some hesitance.

If he could devour all three hundred Lord Demons, he would obtain over twenty thousand Rule Fragments, and the daily yield of Faith Fruits would increase by five to six hundred.

Not to mention the Original Force Treasure at the center of the nest.

The temptation is so enormous that he really doesn’t want to give it up.

”Well, let’s first test the power of this Death Qi.”

Lin You silently thought, since the Lord’s main force hasn’t arrived yet, he must act quickly.

Taking a deep breath, he cautiously led the team from the edge to approach, stepping into the area shrouded in black fog.

[Affected by Death Qi, all attributes reduced by 1%, Constitution decreased by 1% per second.]

[Death Qi Stack: 2 layers, all attributes reduced by 2%, Constitution decreased by 2% per second.]

[Death Qi Stack: 3 layers, all attributes reduced by 3%, Constitution decreased by 3% per second.]

...

[Death Qi Stack: 10 layers, all attributes reduced by 10%, Constitution decreased by 10% per second.]

[Triggered Fallen Effect, unable to attack, lasts for 5 seconds.]

...

What the heck!

Lin You’s expression changed drastically, and his foot retreated immediately.

In just half a second, a series of prompts were frantically ringing in his mind, and the Death Qi effect stacked instantly to over twenty layers, completely sealing off his attack capability.

What kind of Lord Demon is this? It’s simply a debuff machine.

And it can infinitely stack!

This is already after the Armor of Creation reduced the anomaly by 50%, and even then it was so terrifying; what would it be like in full condition?

Frightened, Lin You immediately withdrew outside, and the Death Qi layers disappeared as well.

However, the commotion he had created attracted the attention of one Death Tree Demon.

”Roar!”

With a roar, the Death Tree Demon detached from the nest, rushing towards him with thundering footsteps, emanating large waves of Death Qi.

Wherever it passed, the ground’s weeds quickly withered, turned to dried grass, and eventually disintegrated into ashes and vanished.

”Attack, take it down!”

Lin You immediately commanded the nearby species.

Simultaneously, the Power of Rule erupted, Four-leaf Clover Protection, and Barbaric Roar activated simultaneously, suddenly boosting the momentum of all plants, and the Royal Family’s attributes reached over 1,500,000.

In an instant.

Vines lashed out like little snakes, snagging the body of the charging Death Tree Demon.

Then Wooden Thorn Leaves ceaselessly emerged, and Pea Bullets shot straight at it, with Mushrooms exploding booming on its body.

The remaining plants surrounded it, with dense attacks thoroughly drowning it.

Boom!

At this moment.

A vast wave of Death Qi erupted on the Death Tree Demon, swiftly spreading around.

[Death Qi Stack: 1 layer, all attributes reduced by 1%, Constitution decreased by 1% per second.]

...

[Death Qi Stack: 2 layers, all attributes reduced by 2%, Constitution decreased by 2% per second.]

...

Eh?

Hearing the prompts in his mind, Lin You was momentarily stunned.

He realized that when dealing with a single Death Tree Demon, it virtually added one layer of Death Qi every 10 seconds, significantly slower than before.

Thus.

It would take at least 100 seconds to trigger the Fallen effect.

Now it makes sense; the terror of these Death Tree Demons lies in their communal nature, allowing negative states to infinitely stack.

Once isolated, the Death Qi Aura and Fallen skills can’t be utilized, effectively nullifying these two abilities from the Death Tree Demon, greatly reducing the threat.

”Void Nether, use Purification and take a look.”

Immediately, Lin You pinpointed the key, shouting toward the sky.

Void Nether, assisting in the attack, received the command and activated the Purification Skill, unleashing a dazzling green light enveloping a radius of one kilometer.

In a blink.

Lin You and all plants’ Death Qi effects disappeared, layers reset to zero, attributes restored to their original levels.

Without the attribute suppression from the Death Qi reduction, the Death Tree Demon wildly flailing its branches revealed its weakness, gradually falling under the plants’ suppression.

With Barbaric Roar down to its last few seconds.

Lin You stretched out his arm, a giant Pea illusion appeared behind him, terrifying fiery aura swiftly condensed.

Under the full state of Four-leaf Clover protection and Barbaric Roar, Lin You’s Spiritual Attribute reached 2,200,000, plus the Deadly Sniper skill’s inherent double attack effect, basic spirit doubled, boosting it by an additional 1,000,000.

The power of this strike reached a staggering 3,200,000!

Even the S-level Tree Demon felt the death threat and immediately issued a terrifying shriek.

The sharp sound waves rippled out, causing all surrounding plants to fall into panic and chaos, then fled back to the nest.

”Boom!!”

A deafening explosion.

Behind Lin You, sparks erupted, a flame beam slicing through the void, shooting straight at the Death Tree Demon.

The Death Tree Demon had barely escaped and suddenly exploded with a large swathe of flames, a massive hole appearing, piercing through its trunk-like body.

But it wasn’t taken down directly.

After all, with 1.76 million defense and health there, even after deducting defense, Lin You’s strike only dealt 1.44 million damage, still short of over 300,000 to kill it instantly.

”Don’t let it escape!”

Seeing the Death Tree Demon suffer severe injuries and fall to the ground, Lin You immediately commanded the nearby plants.

In the blink of an eye.

The Ten Great Royal Families and the Legendary Species, having recovered from the chaos, once again caught up with the Death Tree Demon, launching a fierce attack on it.

The Death Tree Demon roared repeatedly, but Lin You’s blow nearly incapacitated it.

Before it could release Death Qi, countless attacks broke through its defense, killing it on the spot.

[Killed Tier Eleven Lord Demon, gained 1 billion Magic Energy.]

A notification sounded in Lin You’s mind.

Not bad.

Lin You was satisfied and stood down.

With his current strength, single-handedly killing an S-level Lord Demon posed little challenge.

Seeing the Death Tree Demon fall under the siege of the plants, he immediately teleported to the corpse and picked up the 80 Rule Fragments that had dropped.

After checking, he found no other treasures had dropped.

As expected, the drop rate is exceptionally low.

”Let’s recover first.”

He said to the plants, then sat cross-legged on the ground, activating healing skills to recover.

The moment he stepped into the Tree Demon Nest, he instantly lost nearly 20% of his life force, which is health.

This percentage-based health-draining skill ignores defense, just like the Bloody Realm of Cyan Rattan.

Only Anomaly Resistance and Attribute Suppression can counter it.

Thus, Cyan Rattan, whose attributes are much lower than the Death Tree Demon’s, couldn’t fully exert the effect of the Bloody Realm.

Fortunately, his Armor of Creation has Anomaly Resistance. If it were someone else, they might have lost half their life by now.

For those who recklessly charge in, they might not even know how they died.

And so.

After recovering to peak condition.

Lin You rose again, leading his team outside the nest, continuing to lure Death Tree Demons out one by one to kill.

Once the Death Qi stacks too high, he’d activate the Purification Skill to clear it.

He and Void Nether took turns using skills, occasionally relying on Phantom Clone to fill any gaps, just in time for skill cooldowns.

Without the threat of the two negative skills, their speed in slaughtering the Death Tree Demons was remarkably fast.

In less than an hour, they had already eliminated nearly two-thirds of the Tree Demons, reaching the depths of the nest.

Finally, they saw a treasure illuminated under the light pillar, a leaf emitting a rich Life Aura.

Lin You, excited, wanted to continue clearing Demons to seize the treasure.

Unexpectedly.

Suddenly, a few urgent shouts came from outside the nest.

”Quick, the treasure is right ahead!”

”I’ve seen the bottom of that beam of light!”

”Hurry, we must get the treasure before anyone else does!”

So quickly someone arrived?

Lin You’s face darkened, the situation he least wanted to encounter had occurred.

It seems people from other realms had received the news and started pouring into this large Demon Space, making it unlikely to secure the remaining Original Force Treasure easily.

Without wasting more time.

He glanced at the remaining hundred Death Tree Demons, gritted his teeth, recalled his species, and then teleported directly to the light pillar’s vicinity.

”Roar!”

The Death Tree Demons surrounding the light pillar reacted quickly, immediately spotting his presence.

With a roar, surging Death Qi erupted, enveloping the center of the nest.

[Death Qi Effect Stack 1 layer...]

[Death Qi Effect Stack 2 layers...]

[Death Qi Effect Stack 3 layers...]

...

In the blink of an eye, Lin You’s body was stacked with over 50 layers of Death Qi, startling him to immediately activate the Purification Skill to dispel the negative effects.

Then, without hesitation, he activated the Time Law, slowing the time flow speed around by three times, restricting the Death Tree Demons’ movements.

He reached out, snatched the Life Leaves, tore through space, and teleported out of the nest.

Swish!

In an instant, he appeared two kilometers away.

In a moment of urgency, unable to construct a stable space passage, he could only teleport such a distance.

Immediately after.

With a loud rumble, the green light pillar began to rapidly dissipate.

Without the support of the Original Force Treasure, it scattered into countless light spots and vanished into the air.

”What’s happening? Why did that light suddenly disappear?”

”Not good! Someone took the treasure before us, hurry and check it out!”

”It’s gone, the treasure was indeed taken by someone!”

”Damn it! These Tree Demons are problematic, get out of here!”

...

Vaguely, Lin You heard a chaotic cacophony of shouts coming from the direction of the Tree Demon Nest.

It seemed those who rushed in got trapped by the Death Qi, truly unfortunate.

However.

Lin You didn’t think this could kill a Tier Eleven Lord.

To avoid complications, he didn’t linger, tearing through space to move far from the location, heading towards an uninhabited area.

Finally arriving at a small grove, he stopped to organize the gains from clearing the nest.
