Chapter 573 573. The people were eaten so much that even the World Tree began to mutate.

Balor the Fire Demon reacted the fastest, and immediately swung the flaming sword in his hand to chop it down on the head.

Among this group of great demons, Balor the Fire Demon is the strongest one, and he also dreams of becoming the lord of the abyss.

The appearance of Mo Hao allowed other great demons to unite and made Balor the Flame Demon the leader of this secret alliance. Although the demons have never truly obeyed any one, the current situation is undoubtedly a good thing for Balor the Flame Demon.

When he kills Master Markas, the remaining great demons will not be a threat, and the 589th level of the abyss will fall into his hands.

This plan is undoubtedly quite feasible. Before the demon army set out, Balor the Flame Demon had even considered who would take the lead to consume the power of Master Markas.

Those guys in the alliance who are not very obedient and are quite strong can be used as consumption.

As for whether it was Mo Hao's power or the lives of those demons that were consumed, only Balor the Flame Demon himself knew.

The great demon took a light step back, and the sword blade passed in front of him, but the hellfire on the blade was under the control of the Balrog and jumped towards the great demon and tried to burn him.

His eyes focused, and a barrier suddenly appeared in the air, forcefully blocking the hellfire.

It is not some special skill. It is just that when the mental power becomes strong enough, a thought will begin to interfere with reality and matter.

At the same time, the other great demons also reacted and launched attacks on the great demon.

A ray of light flashing with a dark and dilapidated light attacked the big demon, but the light suddenly deflected and fell directly on the body of the Balor Flame Demon.

That ray of light contained the power of decay and death. Even the Balrog could not completely ignore the attack from the great demon and could not help but cry out in pain.

The Balor Flame Demon glared fiercely at the Giant Skull Demon that was emitting rays, and slashed towards Mo Hao again with the greatsword in his hand with blazing demonic fire.

An obvious fluctuation of mental power could be felt on the trajectory of the ray just now. It was obvious that the big demon interfered in the middle of the process. The matter of being hit could be dealt with later. The most important thing now was to eliminate the enemy in front of us.

The great demon dodged the numerous attacks with ease, each time avoiding the attacks of the great demons by a hair's breadth, and even had the leisure to comment elegantly.

"Wow, this claw looks great, but it's a bit off."

"This magic has both lethality and speed, but it has no concealment. I detected your noisy mental fluctuations a minute ago."

"Shadow demon, huh? Are you sure you weren't taken away by mistake when you were born? The sound of your stealth footsteps can even deafen an old, hard-of-hearing granny."

The more they besieged Mo Hao, the more uneasy the big demons became, and they could see the gap between the two sides.

When he was besieged by many big demons, not even a single attack could touch the corner of the opponent's clothes. The seemingly tiny difference in distance seemed like an insurmountable chasm in front of him. Even though he was overwhelmed by anger at the beginning, he could now see the problem.

The big demon is not on the same level as them.

Realizing this, the great demons immediately turned around and fled to different places. At this time, there was only one thought left in their minds.

Escape, escape from this battlefield, escape from this abyss, escape to a place where Master Markas cannot find you.

The escape of the great demons was like a chain reaction, causing more great demons to leave the battlefield, and even driving the demon army towards the great demon while escaping, delaying his progress.

"It won't be fun if you run away."

When the big demons tried to escape, this playful battle came to an end. Countless sprouts suddenly sprouted from the ground, entwining the demons in place. Whether it was a powerful high-level demon or a big demon occupying one side, they were instantly fixed in place by vines and branches.

Not to mention the tender buds that should be fragile, even a big tree with a diameter of three to five meters can be destroyed with just a little force in front of the devil.

But it was this fragile thing that turned into an inescapable shackle, binding all the demons in place.

Not only that, those vines and branches were like sacred weapons, piercing the demons' skin, penetrating deep into their flesh, and turning their blood and flesh into nutrients.

Roots grew from the bodies of those demons, and tree trunks burst through their bodies. Green leaves grew from their eye sockets, ear holes, and other places. They all turned into a tree.

In just a few minutes, the demon army that attempted to attack Markas turned into a lush forest, which was simply a spectacle in the abyss.

There are three suns in the sky of the 589th layer of the abyss, and even the water is boiling. No green plants can grow in this environment.

For plants that can survive in the abyss, it would be no problem for them to swallow up one or two small villages in the material world.

At this moment, the demons could only watch themselves transform into a tree. To be more precise, they should watch a tree grow in their bodies, and then they became the nutrients of this tree.

There was only fear and despair in the eyes of the violent and ferocious demons. They tried to open their mouths to surrender to Mo Hao, but their completely wooden mouths could no longer make any sound.

When the most powerful Balrog was devoured by the trees, there was no living life left in this place.

Mo Hao looked at the green hell he had created, and from time to time he reached out and touched the leaves that were full of vitality.

Through the contact, it was as if something flowed into his body through his fingertips, and an incomparably pure life force merged into the World Tree in his body. With the help of this life force, the World Tree, which was like a sapling, actually grew a little bigger visibly to the naked eye.

"Well, in order for the saplings to grow fast, they need fertilizer in addition to water."

"It just feels a little weird to use demons as fertilizer."

The power that transformed all the demons into trees and created a green forest was exactly the World Tree that had grown into a sapling in Mo Hao's body.

Since it does not have the blessing of the five guardian dragon kings, this world tree naturally cannot be called Nordrassil.

At the same time, for some unknown reason, compared to Nordrassil, the power of the world tree in Mo Hao's body is more inclined to destruction rather than purification and rebirth.

Just look at the green hell before us and you will know that the demons died a miserable death under the power of the World Tree.

But for Mo Hao, this is good news.

Because in the abyss, he will not lack fertilizer for the world tree, and can make the world tree grow as quickly as possible.

Just looking at this green hell, a question arose in Mo Hao's mind.

Was it because he had been too cruel in eating humans in the past, causing the world tree planted in his body to mutate to the point where it needed to eat demons in order to grow?

Three hours later, the news that the entire army led by Balor the Flame Demon had been killed spread throughout the entire 589th level of the abyss.
