Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate - Chapter 409 - 405: Demon Advancement
With the blessing of Void Skills, Lin You easily escaped the encirclement of the Tier Nine Lord.
Just 30 seconds after the skills’ effects wore off, he had already advanced several hundred meters away, silently escaping with a hidden aura.
Even Lin You had to greatly praise this escape method for being so effective.
He ran for over ten minutes and slowly reduced his speed only after confirming no one was chasing.
However, he did not stop.
Because the Ancient Origin Tree bears fruit only once per day.
Even if he stayed, the chances of seizing other fruits were minimal and would put him in danger.
Thinking about it.
He immediately summoned the Demon Emperor Dragon, flew straight into the high sky, and rushed toward the outskirts.
By this time, the flying demons in the sky had long been easily dealt with by the Tier Nine Lords that had arrived, making the path smooth and soon leaving the Oasis Grassland far behind.
Lin You finally let out a sigh of relief only when nearing the outer area.
“Boom——”
A loud explosion suddenly sounded at this moment.
The previously calm forest started to shake violently as an immeasurable oppressive force appeared out of nowhere, instantly enveloping the entire forest.
The Demon Emperor Dragon flying in the sky wobbled and almost fell from the air.
“What happened!?”
Lin You turned around in shock and looked toward the direction of the Ancient Origin Tree.
Then, his pupils suddenly contracted.
What did he see?
A huge illusory figure standing on the Ancient Origin Tree!
Like a giant body, standing proudly between heaven and earth, surrounded by ominous energy that made the entire sky roll violently.
But soon.
That ominous energy was suppressed by the life aura of the Ancient Origin Tree, gradually disappearing from view as if it had never appeared.
Yet Lin You was deeply shocked by the aura just now, his heart full of horror.
Even though the illusory figure and aura appeared for just a moment.
He was extremely familiar with it.
Exactly the same as the giant hand, the heart of the Mechanical Empire, that he saw in the desert area before!
Underneath this Ancient Origin Tree.
Was it suppressing the body of that terrifying existence!
He was truly astonished.
According to this pattern, could it be that in every area of the Demon Plane, a part of that existence is sealed?
This was too inconceivable.
Using the power of a realm to suppress.
What kind of existence was it?
Daring not to linger.
He immediately urged the Demon Emperor Dragon to speed up and fly quickly toward the outskirts.
…
Simultaneously.
In a palace of the Eternal Realm.
The gathering of Great Emperors from various realms shocked them all, looking toward the center of the continent.
“This aura…it’s the Nightmare Forest, the seal of the Nightmare Forest is beginning to loosen!”
Qianji Emperor’s eyes flashed with a keen light.
“I felt it too, indeed it is that power.”
“From the looks of it, the breaking of the seal is inevitable; we must prepare in advance.
“Haha, we’ve waited so long, the chance for our Realm Alliance is finally here, it’s time to show those guys the power we’ve accumulated during this period.”
The palace was filled with voices full of supreme authority.
Besides the leading Great Emperors of the Eternal Realm and Demon Origin Realm, over a hundred other Great Emperors from various realms were gathered.
This power, once unleashed, could definitely wipe out a realm in an instant.
But they did not do so.
They had been holding back until now.
Now sensing the loosening seal of the Nightmare Forest, each of their eyes finally showed a fervent expression.
It seemed like the opportunity they had been waiting for had finally arrived.
…
Compared to their ecstatic joy.
The Great Emperors of various realms weren’t so relaxed.
They sensed a trace of unusual signs and gathered together, discussing the cause of this event.
“Old Jin, what’s your take on this matter?”
In the sky over the Primordial Continent, ten Lord Emperors and three Indigenous Emperors gathered, looking solemnly toward the entrance of the plane.
Called Old Jin, the person was a tall beastman of the Lion Race, gleaming golden fur shimmering in the sunlight.
He was the leader of the Beastman Empire among the three great empires of the Indigenous People, Human Race, Beast Race, and Elf Race, Kajin the Lion King!
Upon the inquiry from other Great Emperors, the Lion King snorted coldly: “It’s none of my business, all these troubles are created by you Lords, you figure out how to solve them, just call me when you need me.”
“Uh…”
The other Great Emperors fell silent.
Nevertheless, his words slightly eased the tense atmosphere.
Soon, standing together with Xiang Yue Emperor, Dragon Abyss Emperor clad in red armor and cloak, full of stubble, said gravely:
“During this period, Xiang Yue and I investigated the Eternal Realm, they seem to be plotting something big, don’t know if it has to do with the seal.”
“You mean they might take action during this period?”
Other Great Emperors glanced at him.
“I’m not sure either.” Dragon Abyss Emperor’s gaze was sharp, “But it’s certainly related to this matter.”
“Given this, let’s go ask other realms, the Eternal Realm and Demon Origin Realm are becoming increasingly restless, we must safeguard in advance.”
“Alright, let’s split up. Old Jin, you three stay and guard the place.”
Without saying more, the ten Lord Emperors split into two directions, tearing the space apart and disappearing from the spot, leaving only three Native Emperors behind.
Until their auras faded away into the distance.
The elegant Elf Empress slowly spoke, “It seems that a disaster is inevitable, and I wonder about the fate of our world in the future.”
“I remember your Elf Race had previously received an Oracle, right? And it descended upon a Human Lord. Did it say anything?”
The Human Emperor in a white robe asked softly.
“It didn’t.” The Elf Empress shook her head slightly, “The Oracle only hinted at the coming disaster but didn’t tell us what to do.”
“What about that Human Lord? Is there anything different about him?” the Lion King asked immediately.
“He is indeed very special, possessing talent far above the ordinary, but he is still too weak to predict anything for now.”
“Can’t predict? It seems even your Elf Race’s prophecy has failed.” The Lion King teased.
Yet his expression remained unusually serious.
If the Elf Race, known for communicating with nature, is unable to forecast the events, this incident is clearly not simple.
Therefore, they did not linger, chatted briefly, and vanished from the spot.
…
Elsewhere.
In the Nightmare Forest.
Lin You, having left the center area, quickly retreated to the forest outskirts.
He didn’t return to his territory immediately.
Instead, he explored the outskirts while all the Lords were busy vying for the Origin Fruit, taking the opportunity to hunt Demons and collect Magic Energy.
There are four Ancient Origin Trees in total.
Located at four directions in the Nightmare Forest.
The fruit-bearing almost attracted all those Tier Nine Lords, making his journey within the forest nearly unimpeded.
In less than half an hour, he had already taken care of two swarms of Insect monsters dwelling in the forest, continuing to explore further.
“Stop!”
Suddenly, Lin You sensed something unusual and called the team to halt.
At the time, he was in a tropical bushy forest.
Above him, vines intertwined with large trees and moss hung down.
These were not what Lin You was concerned about.
What he was concerned about was a large number of Venus Flytrap plants hanging from these trees.
Exactly!
These were Demons similar to the Venus Flytrap species he had previously mutated!
Almost covering the entire area ahead, like green snakes moving and watching intently from the trees.
And perhaps due to the recent appearance of that terrifying form.
In the dense jungle distance, a great deal of Evil Qi enveloped a purple Venus Flytrap much larger than other Demons.

[Introduction: Originally a Leader Demon, advanced to Lord Demon for unknown reasons, but power is still unstable.]
A newly advanced Tier Nine Lord Demon!
Lin You was shocked; this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
Could it be that the recently scattered power has started to evolve the surrounding Demons?
This is not good news, but also very good news.
Lord Demons are definitely rare, especially Plant Types.
Yet those exaggerated attributes made him hesitate.
Although just advanced not too high, average attributes of over sixteen thousand are still very tricky for him, not sure if he should take the risk.
“Damn it! Let’s do it.”
Finally, Lin You decided to give it a try.
After all, wild Lord Demons are hard to come by; if it doesn’t work out, escaping is always an option.
Considering the Plant Type’s fear of fire, he immediately summoned Big Cannon and over a dozen Blast Shooters, leading the team slowly into the Venus Flytrap’s nest.
When they reached less than a hundred meters, the evolving Venus Flytrap Lord noticed them.
A huge mouth full of sharp teeth opened, and countless ordinary Venus Flytraps surged forth, surrounding them from all sides.
“Attack!”
With a command, Cyan Gang led the Ancient Tree Legion forward, forming a tall defensive wall in front of the Blast Shooters.
Sword Qi in hand, he swung, cutting down a few advancing Venus Flytraps.
Meanwhile, Big Cannon and the Blast Shooters opened their mouths, firing a series of pea bullets with Fire Attributes, swiftly moving towards those Venus Flytraps on the trees.
Other ranged species quickly joined in, large attacks sweeping through the Ancient Tree Legion, furiously outputting against the Demons, halting their advance.
Undeniably.
Flame Attack is remarkably effective against Plant Types.
With the Destruction Dragon Flame Secret Treasure enhancement, the Blast Shooter’s pea rapid-fire seemed empowered by divine aid, eliminating several advancing Venus Flytraps each shot, igniting them with Dragon Flame.
Yet just then, the Lord Demon moved.
A mouth opening, the Corrosive Acid Liquid turned into an acidic rain pouring down from the sky.
The power was so strong, even Cyan Gang was corroded and riddled with holes.
The two newly recruited, least experienced Ancient Trees of Life, were instantly killed, turning into rotted wood on the ground.
The offensive of the Tier Nine Lord Demon, terrifying indeed!
