Chapter 722 The Colossal Devouring Beast Mana Flower King

"Haha, so many, too many."

"A vast, boundless horde of Devouring Beasts."

Is it buffet time today?

"Thank you Mana Ecology for the donation, sending ingredients from so far away."

Chen Hong even ate an aquatic creature called the Devouring Beast, which resembled a giant fish or water snake from the river.

There were also countless birds, including the Sky-Devouring Beasts, in the sky.

There are all kinds of fresh Devouring Beasts, some flying in the sky, some swimming in the river, and some crawling on the ground, each with a different taste.

Seemingly driven to desperation, within the swirling, purplish-red fog, a gigantic Mana flower could be vaguely seen swaying and emitting a faint red glow, urging something on.

Soon, Chen Hong knew what He was urging him to do.

A colossal flying Devourer, its wingspan obscuring the sky, tore through the air and flew in like a space carrier, casting a vast shadow that enveloped the earth.

The sharp rows of eagle eyes turned, fixing their gaze on the tiny figure of Chen Hong on the ground.

There were also colossal ground-dwelling species that resembled moving mountains, their bodies covered in armor made of a mixture of rock and biological tissue, pushing aside the earth to reveal their massive heads as they slowly crawled forward.

Every step it took triggered an earthquake, like a moving mountain range.

It immediately changed the terrain.

The countless symbiotic Devouring Beasts on his back fell off in droves and charged fiercely at Chen Hong.

These are all top-tier members among the King-level Devouring Beasts.

Several other humanoid Devouring Beasts with disheveled hair also quietly gathered around, hiding in the crimson mist, looking for the best opportunity to strike.

Chen Hong smiled and said, "Okay!"

"Well done!"

"I will devour you all right now."

"Such a huge size, how much life essence must it contain!"

"So fat!"

The Devouring Beasts seemed enraged and roared.

Beams of light shot out and shot towards Chen Hong.

Look at its imposing presence; it could pierce Mount Tai.

Furthermore, the Devouring Beast, relying on its enormous size, launched a charge and crashed into Chen Hong.

Judging by that kinetic energy, Chen Hong had no doubt that it was enough to break the Himalayas.

Unfortunately, they didn't know that they were facing a monster even more monstrous than themselves.

"[King of Time and Space], [Time Stop]!"

In an instant, the wind stopped, and countless beams of light were frozen in mid-air.

All the Devouring Beasts were forcibly frozen in place, like puppets, unable to even move their eyeballs.

Even thinking stopped.

Time was put on pause.

There has been no change.

"【King of Gluttony】, Devour!"

In an instant, countless Devouring Beasts, whether low-level or king-level, were all powerless to resist and were swallowed into the black hole.

It was crushed into powder, entered Chen Hong's stomach, and was digested into nutrients.

These wild beasts didn't know what had happened before they died.

They can't even think.

With a snap of his fingers, time resumed its flow.

The world's scenes began to flow again.

The Devouring Beasts were completely wiped out.

To the Devouring Beasts and Mana's Ecological Flower King consciousness deep within the vortex, the Devouring Beasts vanished suddenly, as if they had never existed, a bizarre and unsettling event that sent chills down their spines. Only Mana's initial consciousness detected a barely perceptible fluctuation.

"Is it... a fluctuation in time?"

Mana fell silent for a moment, a sense of foreboding creeping into her heart.

But before He could even think, Chen Hong had already broken through the whirlpool of blood and plunged straight into the heart of the territory.

As for the deadly thick fog of purplish-red toxins, it was directly isolated by Chen Hong's invisible force field and could not penetrate it in the slightest.

As soon as Chen Hong arrived, he saw a densely packed horde of Devouring Beasts paying their rent.

The horde of Devouring Beasts exhaled wisps of life essence, entrusting them to an incomparably tall, giant Mana flower.

After the Mana Flower absorbs the life essence, it will give them the opportunity to evolve based on the amount they share.

Unlock genetic shackles, optimize gene sequences, and evolve into a more advanced Devouring Beast.

Mana flowers are both producers and consumers, the cornerstone of the ecosystem, and can even autonomously nurture the offspring of Devouring Beasts, similar to the relationship between a plant and an ant queen.

The Devouring Beasts are both consumers and providers, responsible for scavenging all life essence in nature and returning periodically to hand it over in exchange for the opportunity to evolve, similar to the roles of animals and ant colonies.

Chen Hong gazed at the towering Mana Flower King before him, which resembled an ancient tree that had stood for millennia.

Its root system penetrates directly into the earth's veins, reaching deep into the geological layers.

Its extensive root system is spread all over the world, connecting with individual manna flowers through mantle vines, forming an ecological network.

Clearly, this Mana King is the core of the Mana ecosystem and the terminal of the entire Mana ecosystem network.

Destroying it would severely damage the Mana ecosystem, if not completely destroy it, and it would take hundreds of years to recover.

But the Mana Flower King was not without the power to resist.

Groups of Devouring Beasts loyally guarded his side. Upon discovering Chen Hong, the intruder, they all launched a frenzied attack on him, fearless of death.

Even more deadly was that the dark, lifeless soil on the ground actually came to life.

Like a living swamp, it began to spread rapidly, seemingly trying to drag Chen Hong in and assimilate him into its ecosystem.

The soil sprouted sharp thorns, attempting to pierce Chen Hong's body and extract his life essence.

The flowing soil was all-pervasive, desperately trying to penetrate Chen Hong's body, drain his life essence, and turn him into flesh and soil.

Unfortunately, Chen Hong wouldn't let him succeed.

"【Universal Barrier】!"

Chen Hong erected an omnipotent barrier, creating a spatial rift that isolated everything, making it impervious to all magic.

"This Breath of Earth is quite strange."

Chen Hong muttered to himself, his True Sight Eye seeing through the true nature of the Breath Soil.

It turned out to be the black mud that the Devouring Beast's body had turned into after its death, which was absorbed, assimilated, and utilized by the Mana Flower, turning into puppet fertilizer to protect itself.

It is ever-changing, all-pervasive, and incredibly lethal.

Essentially, it is an activated cluster of cells controlled by the life-source substance of the Mana Flower.

In various ecological regions around the world, the core of the region is the Mana flower.

Each Mana flower gathers the life essence of each ecological zone.

"Isn't this the warehouse of life essence?"

"If we could use the underground root system of this Mana King's mantle vine to simultaneously extract the entire Earth's Mana ecological life source stockpile."

"Then we have to send it out, right?"

Thinking of this, Chen Hong could no longer restrain himself.

Ignoring the hordes of Devouring Beasts attacking and tearing at the omnipotent barrier, ignoring the Breath of Earth desperately trying to squeeze in, he said:

"【The King of Gluttony】!"

"【Law Manipulation】, 【Law Devouring】, empower!"

Instantly, the black hole evolved from Chen Hong's Gluttony King became even more terrifying, its terrifying devouring power instantly draining the life essence of all the Devouring Beasts present.

Furthermore, following the mantle vine root system of the Mana King, they extracted the life essence of the entire Mana ecosystem worldwide. (End of Chapter)
