The shield above the New Hope Assembly Place was torn apart, but in the direction where the Catastrophe Ancient Tree stood, another black light shield appeared out of nowhere.

Vast darkness energy connected the heavens with the earth, transforming into a forbidden zone of life, enveloping the entire area of several thousand meters along with the Catastrophe Ancient Tree.

The Demon Fiends outside seemed to have lost their minds, fearlessly charging into the Pitch-dark World. Then, hair-raising sounds of chewing echoed all around!

Inside the Pitch-dark World, darkness beasts with a round head and small wings roamed around. Whenever a Demon Fiend rushed in, the darkness beasts inside reacted like sharks smelling blood, launching a frenzied attack on the invaders until they devoured flesh and bone completely!

The recovery power of the Catastrophe Ancient Tree was strong, yet Wen Yu's Pitch-dark World was not weak either.

On one hand, the Catastrophe Ancient Tree was cut off from its "blood supply" by the Pitch-dark World; on the other hand, the Demon Fiends rushing into the Pitch-dark World turned into nourishment for Wen Yu to replenish his energy. As this balance shifted, Wen Yu's attacks became even more ferocious!

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Continuous waves of darkness energy dissipated everywhere. Wen Yu stood atop the dense canopy, pruning the branches of the Catastrophe Ancient Tree. In less than ten seconds, the massive canopy was trimmed into a disheveled state by Wen Yu, as if a clumsy barber had given the Catastrophe Ancient Tree a terrible haircut.

The remaining branches around launched increasingly fierce attacks, but they all shattered against Wen Yu's defensive black light. The purple mist emanating from the Catastrophe Ancient Tree grew denser, and its terrifying corrosive power even melted a deep pit in the ground. However, when the purple mist encountered the black light, it was utterly devoured by the darkness as if meeting its nemesis.

With its recovery source cut off, the Catastrophe Ancient Tree seemed so powerless in front of Wen Yu at this moment...

"Buzz~~"

Again, a semicircular black light blade formed out of thin air, which Wen Yu forcefully slashed out, striking the canopy fiercely. The Catastrophe Ancient Tree beneath his feet let out a wail, and its enormous body shook violently, experiencing a tremor akin to an earthquake. Wen Yu struck with another black light blade!

Completely defenseless,

Without any counterattack ability!

Just as Wen Yu was mobilizing his power to quickly deal with this behemoth, a sudden change occurred!

...

Without the continuous influx of Demon Fiends, the purple vines emerging from the tumor of the Catastrophe Ancient Tree naturally lost their purpose.

The darkness beasts were similar to elemental life forms and had no physical entity. Coupled with the terrifying darkness devouring power, the vines were utterly helpless against these small entities.

Therefore, the purposeless vines naturally retracted into the tumor. As the vines disappeared, the cracks on the tumor slowly sealed, and the tumors disgorged with purple smoke, then slowly swelled up.

Until a certain moment!

"Puff..." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

A muffled explosion sounded, and a tumor on the trunk of the Catastrophe Ancient Tree burst open like a pustule. The next second, countless intertwined vines rapidly formed into a deep purple, egg-shaped bizarre object. A human-sized purple giant egg emerged from the ruptured tumor, then began to transform.

First, it grew four slender arms, then a head with only a large mouth. Moments later, the giant egg turned completely into a purple humanoid bizarre life form. Then, this strange life form stretched lazily, leapt up, and hooked its sharp claws onto the trunk of the Catastrophe Ancient Tree, climbing towards Wen Yu's position atop the canopy as agile as a Monkey.

When the first purple humanoid monster transformation was completed, it was as if a starting gun was fired. Countless tumors on the Catastrophe Ancient Tree burst open, and one bizarre creature after another emerged from the tumors. In the blink of an eye, the enormous body of the Catastrophe Ancient Tree was crawling with these strange beings.

Resembling an endless purple tide, these bizarre purple-skinned Monkeys charged one after another towards Wen Yu on the canopy, until the first purple-skinned monster reached Wen Yu.

...

"What is this?"

Staring at the approximately two-meter-tall, slender humanoid creature glowing with purple light in front, Wen Yu scrutinized it before shaking his head with a smile.

"I don't care what you are!"

For Wen Yu, what the enemy was didn't matter. He just needed to know where they were and send them to oblivion, and that was enough!

A slightly smaller Energy Light Blade rapidly formed in Wen Yu's right hand, then he swung it out. In the blink of an eye, it struck the neck of the purple monster.

In an instant, purple ichor splattered, the head of the purple monster flew high, and its slender body staggered forward three more steps before collapsing heavily.

Yet, Wen Yu frowned: "The energy strike seems ineffective, and the corrosive effect of the darkness energy didn't fully manifest. The seemingly devastating decapitation effect was in fact just physical damage..."

As soon as this deduction emerged in his mind, it was interrupted by the dense sound behind him. Wen Yu turned to look, seeing endless purple humanoid creatures swiftly climbing the trunk of the Catastrophe Ancient Tree, rushing towards Wen Yu's direction.

The dense sound of footsteps, the scratching noise, combined with the roar from the only organ on the monsters' faces, upon seeing this scene, the darkness energy around Wen Yu spread once again, and in an instant, more sounds echoed from the darkness.

In the deepest part of the darkness, the darkness beasts that Wen Yu casually conjured surged as an endless black tide towards the purple monsters!

It was like two speeding aircraft carriers colliding head-on. The fierce crash boomed from the canopy of the Catastrophe Ancient Tree. Countless darkness beasts crawled and bit relentlessly on the purple monsters, splashing thick tissues mixed with purple ichor everywhere, only to be assimilated by the Catastrophe Ancient Tree when they landed on its canopy.

In a place Wen Yu couldn't see, at the center of the Catastrophe Ancient Tree's trunk, a nearly three-meter-tall purple cocoon slowly wriggled. The purple ichor dripping from above fell onto the cocoon, absorbed as if nutrients.

Until with a "bang"...

The cocoon gently throbbed once...

...

The cold blade pierced the abdomen, penetrating through to the other side.

A barely noticeable pain transmitted to the brain nerves, resembling the pain of pulling out a hair, yet the Cyclops grinned broadly, assuming a furious stance.

"Pain! Pain! It's killing me!!!"

The frenzied mad dog swung its sharp claws, stirring up gales, and its massive claws directly snatched an Ancient Demon, then bit off the Ancient Demon's head!

"Crunch, crunch."

The teeth chewed on the Ancient Demon's remains, the crisp clatter of bones echoing far away, only to inflame the rage of the surviving Ancient Demons.

By this point in the battle, there was no more talk of avoiding the fight; what was left was solely the exertion of all effort to determine life and death!
