*Boooooom! Booooooom!* A series of thunderous explosions resounded continuously, each impact louder than the last.

At this moment, if one were to look ahead, they would see a blood-scaled monster pinning down a Treant, relentlessly pummeling it with fists, seemingly in a frenzy.

Every punch compressed the air before it, transforming into a terrifying force that crashed down with immense power.

*Boooooom…* With a deafening clap, the ground trembled as a painful groan escaped the Treant.

Even with the terrifying resilience of the Treant race, it was struggling to endure the devastating force of the punches.

This was the power bestowed by the Blood Demon Fruit.

“Such impressive strength…” Yu Zi Yu murmured to himself, casting a deep look at the Treant under the Blood Demon Transformation.

There was no denying that practical combat was the only true measure.

And now, through battle, Yu Zi Yu could clearly see the terrifying power of this Blood Demon Treant.

“After the Blood Demon Transformation, its strength has increased by more than 50%, speed by several times, and even agility has undergone a qualitative change… and…” As he murmured, Yu Zi Yu noticed a continuous stream of Blood Qi flowing into the Treant’s body.

The Blood Demon Clan’s unique Blood Qi was a terrifying force, allowing its users to drain an opponent’s strength in the heat of battle to replenish their own. Now, the Blood Demon Treant had gained access to this formidable ability.

With a faint smile, Yu Zi Yu clapped his hands, signaling the end of the sparring match. “That’s enough. You may stop now.”

“Yes, Tree Ancestor,” the two Treants responded in unison, parting from each other.

Then…

*Swish, swish…* Two drops of Life Essence flickered from Yu Zi Yu’s hand, landing upon the Treants.

Immediately, a soft green light enveloped them, and their wounds began to heal visibly, restoring their vitality.

Tier-6 Life Essence was no ordinary substance, even in its diluted form. Undiluted, its potency might have overwhelmed the Treants, too powerful for them to withstand.

“You may leave,” Yu Zi Yu instructed one Treant before turning to face the Blood Demon Treant.

“How do you feel?” he asked, a glint of curiosity in his eyes as he waited for the Blood Demon Treant’s response.

“I…” The Treant paused briefly, clenching its fists, seemingly relishing the newfound sensation. A moment later, with a newfound resolve, it replied in a deep, resonant voice, “Tree Ancestor, it feels incredible—beyond anything I could have imagined. My body feels brimming with strength…”

“Is that so…” Yu Zi Yu chuckled, his eyes narrowing slightly.

[Is it my imagination, or has this Blood Demon Treant developed a hint of intelligence?]

Intelligence, however, was not something Yu Zi Yu could immediately assess, even with his vast power. It would require time and close observation to reach a clear conclusion.

If the Blood Demon Fruit truly fostered intelligence, then the Tree of Miracles would earn an even higher place of reverence in Yu Zi Yu’s plans.

[Now that everything has been tested, it’s time to give this Treant some real experience.]

With a faint smile, Yu Zi Yu waved his right hand.

*Boooooom…* With a thunderous rumble, a visible vortex opened up, marking the entrance to the Realm of Void.

Inside that realm, a Tier-5 True God awaited his presence.

After a brief moment…

*Thump…* With a single step, Yu Zi Yu, accompanied by the Blood Demon Treant, made his way towards the Realm of Void.

At that very same time, deep within the Realm of Void, atop a towering fortress wall…

Sensing something, a woman suddenly lifted her head…

“Have I kept you waiting long?” Hearing the voice resonating from afar, the woman’s face changed slightly before she immediately knelt in greeting, “Lan Xi, your humble servant, greets Lord Divine Tree.”

With profound reverence, the Blood Demon Clan Princess—a powerful Tier-5 True God—bowed her head in respect.

There was no need for further words. It was clear: This Blood Demon Clan Princess had chosen to submit.

In the Blood Demon Clan, strength commanded respect.

Since Yu Zi Yu’s power was so overwhelming that plunged Lan Xi into despair, Lan Xi, after half a month of captivity, ultimately made the right decision.

Of course, for this, she had someone else to thank.

Turning his gaze, Yu Zi Yu looked towards a golden-haired girl atop the fortress wall.

It was Elsa, the Mermaid Queen—Yu Zi Yu’s attendant.

However, one would be mistaken to underestimate her delicate appearance.

She was a true Tier-5 True God. And, most fearsome of all, as the Princess of the Merfolk, Elsa possessed exceptionally mysterious skills.

To persuade Princess Lan Xi of the Blood Demon Clan to submit in just half a month was no feat just anyone could accomplish.

With eyes as blue as the ocean, carrying an indescribable depth, the Mermaid Queen—Elsa took a step forward, rising to greet him, “Elsa greets Master.”

“You have done well,” Yu Zi Yu praised her with a smile.

Then, as if recalling something, he gestured to summon the Blood Demon Treant behind him, addressing Lan Xi, the Blood Demon Princess, “What do you think of this big fellow? Anything unusual about him?”

“Big fellow?” A hint of curiosity flickered on Lan Xi’s face, but she did not ask further. Instead, she carefully examined the figure emerging from behind Yu Zi Yu.

Standing over ten meters tall, he looked remarkably imposing. His body was covered in blood-colored scales and surrounded by the unique Blood Qi of the Blood Demon Clan.

[Well, he appears no different than a pure-blooded Blood Demon. Ordinary Blood Demons certainly don’t emit such a potent aura. In fact…]

Lan Xi’s pupils narrowed slightly as a look of shock flashed across her face.

[This giant’s Blood Qi is even stronger than mine. But… How could this be?]

She was, after all, the Princess of the Blood Demon Clan—one of the few pure-blooded royal members.

Yet now, this stranger’s Blood Qi surpassed even her own!?
