Free Web NovelChapter 2650: Chapter 2650: The Shackles of Evolution
The moment the Gluttonous Blood Fruit entered the Sea of Consciousness, it was as if drawn by a force, racing straight toward the side where the Crystal of the Wood Path was located.
The Crystal of the Wood Path emitted a soft green light, exuding a rich aura of life around it, giving an impression of tranquility and serenity.
The Gluttonous Blood Fruit flew straight over and landed on the Crystal of the Wood Path, seemingly held by an intangible attraction, sticking tightly to it.
"Crack!"
The shell of the Gluttonous Blood Fruit gently cracked open, revealing blood-red tendrils that extended out like tentacles, tightly wrapping around the Crystal of the Wood Path, resembling dodder vines entwined around a great tree.
Wood Spirit Power continuously surged along the tendrils into the Gluttonous Blood Fruit, and a phantom of gluttony gradually appeared on the fruit, though the phantom was so faint and translucent that without careful perception, one could not detect it at all.
Carson Flores watched everything unfolding in the Sea of Consciousness, and only now did he finally breathe a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his face.
It succeeded!
With a stir of his mind, the Gluttonous Blood Fruit entwined around the Crystal of the Wood Path in the Sea of Consciousness instantly transformed into a beam of Blood Light, shooting out from Carson Flores’s brow, then hovering above his head.
Countless transparent thread-like tentacles connected the Gluttonous Blood Fruit and Carson Flores’s Sea of Consciousness. Within the Sea of Consciousness, the Crystal of the Wood Path shone brightly, and Wood Attribute Spiritual Power flooded into the Gluttonous Blood Fruit through the tentacles.
The Gluttonous Blood Fruit sprouted and rapidly transformed into a small tree, which expanded swiftly. In the blink of an eye, it became an enormous blood-red towering tree, with thick branches growing rapidly, instantly blotting out the sky. What was frightening was that these branches blossomed with blood-colored flowers, within which were sharp, white teeth, resembling blood-colored Cannibal Flowers.
Not only the flowers on the branches were terrifying, but the countless branches seemed alive as they twisted like boneless limbs, stretching with a savage aura, as if searching for prey.
The Gluttonous Blood Tree stood suspended in the air, and above it, there was an indistinct phantom of gluttony, exuding a greedy, violent aura that made one’s skin crawl, as if it might tear one apart in the next moment.
Silhouettes appeared in the distance, watching this scene, all with expressions of shock.
So powerful!
Varric Combs crossed his arms, chuckling, "Only three months, and you managed to refine it successfully. Not bad!"
Lucas White praised, "It feels like this Gluttonous Blood Tree has great combat power!"
Varric Combs snorted, "This is just the beginning. Once it devours more powerful life forms, it will crazily enhance in strength, becoming even more formidable!"
Lucas White asked, "Are life forms referring to cultivators?"
Varric Combs replied, "Not just cultivators, it refers to all beings—humans, the Demon Race, and the Demon Race, among others—can all be consumed and broken down into their most fundamental energy, feeding its continuous evolution and strengthening."
Lucas White chuckled, "Would nurturing it this way make it comparable to a Great Land Prime Immortal?"
Varric Combs hummed, "If you manage to feed it dozens of Great Land Prime Immortals, it can surely evolve to the level comparable with a Great Land Prime Immortal."
"Dozens?"
Lucas White sighed, "That’s too many."
Varric Combs sneered, "You think devouring and leveling up is that easy, swallowing just one Great Land Prime Immortal would immediately upgrade it to a Great Land Prime Immortal? Dream on. There’s a conversion rate for devouring transformations, hence it requires a lot of strong life forms to pile up..."
Lucas White frowned, "With that being said, although it can evolve, it’s not that easy either. After all, Carson Flores is only a Lower Grade Land Immortal, wanting to slay and devour a Great Land Prime Immortal is almost impossible, unless you, Master help him."
Varric Combs’s gaze extended far, "You might not be able to afford it, but it doesn’t mean he can’t. Remember how many Great Land Prime Immortals died in that battle earlier? If he had acquired this Gluttonous Blood Fruit back then, perhaps following Snow Zane these past years, the Gluttonous Blood Tree would have grown to a terrifying extent."
Lucas White muttered, "Even if it grows further, when faced with Master of Path, Cyrveth McCarty, two Quasi-Saints, it will probably meet a dead end!"
Varric Combs sneered, "Those are Quasi-Saints, you think it’s easy to deal with Quasi-Saints? Of course, theoretically, the Gluttonous Blood Tree’s evolution has no end, if you feed it with ten or twenty Quasi-Saints, it might evolve to the point where it can contend with a Quasi-Saint."
"Ten or twenty?"
Lucas White couldn’t help but roll his eyes, "If someone has such ability, why would they need it to do the fighting?"
Varric Combs calmly stated, "This is the greatest restriction of the Gluttonous Blood Tree, but there is a place to solve this problem."
Lucas White asked in surprise, "What place?"
Varric Combs’s eyes turned colder, speaking firmly, "Crimson Immortal Domain, Eternal City Wall, Immortal Demon Battlefield!"
Niall Sinclair and Ilvarion Arnold, who were listening nearby, both lit up with excitement.
Indeed, what place can have more formidable life forms than a battlefield?
A battle produces corpses everywhere, with all levels; there’s no fear of being unable to evolve, right?
