Chapter Six: Demon Gene Tree!
Gurenba Arena.
Because of the rise of the Demon Avatar, Soren has established a foothold in the Bottomless Abyss.
The interior of the arena is completely controlled by the Demon Avatars, while the towns outside are managed by Evil Spirits. The most important thing in the Bottomless Abyss is power; as long as the power of the Demon Avatars can suppress those Evil Spirits, there will be no issues with either power or wealth. Recently, Gurenba Arena has been preparing for a large-scale Death Arena event, with participants arranged through Ygoroth, including demons, devils, Evil Spirits, as well as elders from the elemental planes and humanoids from the outer planes.
This time, the event has even attracted a few travelers from the first layer of the Bottomless Abyss and the Shura realm.
Watching the Death Arena is one of the few entertainment options in the Bottomless Abyss; personally participating in the slaughter is undoubtedly quite dangerous, while Gurenba Arena provides combat for creatures of high rank and above.
This is even a worthwhile form of entertainment for Legendary Demons!
More importantly.
The victors of the arena often gain fame and status, and Soren operates in the shadows to lure high-ranking powers to participate in the Death Arena through reputation and status.
Typically, each winner of the competition can quickly gain fame through Gurenba Arena.
Moreover, the spectators can transmit the fame to the circles of Evil Spirits, devils, other Abyss layers, and even some circles in the Hell of Bartok.
Recently.
Even demon lords with considerable nearby influence have been drawn in; they do not mind using better conditions to entice the victors of the arena to their service.
Fame.
Wealth.
As long as one wins in Gurenba Arena, they can instantly receive substantial rewards, while their fame can easily be spread, thus satisfying both fame and wealth. It is precisely because of this that Gurenba Arena has also attracted Evil Spirit mercenary groups from other planes. They hope to make a name for themselves through the arena, with several Evil Spirits even establishing their own titles.
Ravager, Berserker, Bloody Hand…
Such titles are not just for show; they largely represent corresponding statuses.
Recently, a newly emerging Soul Capture Demon lord even personally entered the arena. This demon lord is weaker than Soren and is located quite far from his territory. To attract a sufficient number of demons to join him, this legendary Soul Capture Demon lord personally entered the Death Arena and recruited a batch of demon subordinates and Evil Spirit mercenaries. Soren is currently formulating the rules here, with the most important point being order; he needs to ensure that the order here will not be disturbed by any outsiders.
This is also the tradition of Gurenba Arena, and traditions are often quite important!
………………
Deep within Gurenba Arena, there is a small blood pool.
The blood pool is an important resource reserve for Demon Lords, as after obtaining excellent souls, they cannot always use their own power to transform the souls. At this time, the blood pool becomes very important.
This blood pool is quite small.
It measures only about five meters in length and width, far inferior to the massive blood pool protected by the Mother of Worms. The former Goblin Demon Lord used it to transform souls and enrich his army.
At this moment.
The Demon Avatar rose from the magma and came to the side of this blood pool.
Recently, the Demon Avatar was preparing to break through the realm of the Balroth Fire Demon. For a long time, the Demon Avatar needed to stay inside the volcano next to the arena, using the power of the lava to merge the power of the Demon Lord and ultimately evolve into the Balroth Fire Demon. Demon Lords can form a regional Virtual Deity, much like Legendary Wizards controlling the Virtual Deity of their semi-plane. What the Demon Avatar is doing now is akin to Legendary Wizards assimilating the laws of the semi-plane, gradually assimilating the Power of Laws of the territory they control.
“Let’s begin.”
Soren slowly cast out the soul in his hand. At the moment it touched the blood pool, a mysterious force began to act, twisting the soul, which was then assimilated and absorbed by the blood pool, transforming into a mass of flesh and blood.
The Abyss Worm is taking shape.
This soul isn’t particularly exceptional; it does not yet reach the level necessary to directly advance to a mid-level demon.
The Abyss Worm is the basic form of all lower planar monsters and can be said to encompass the original forms of all demons, devils, and Evil Spirits’ mutated genes. The Abyss Worm can be used as currency in the lower planes; whether demons, devils, or Evil Spirits, they can use Abyss Worms to hatch their own kind. The future growth of the Abyss Worm depends on activating that mutation tree, and then it mutates into the base forms of demons, devils, or Evil Spirits. Each advancement in form is equivalent to starting over; for instance, a level 10 Coward Demon evolving into a Frenzied Combat Demon might drop down to level 7.
However, its power is definitely stronger because the base forms are different.
The energy from the portion of the soul that was reduced is used to reshape the body, and the excess power can then elevate the level of the Frenzied Combat Demon. This principle applies to the vast majority of demons, devils, and Evil Spirits.
This is an incredible life form!
And the foundation of it all is the powerful plasticity of the soul!
“Skip the Abyss Worm form.”
Soren waved his hand to begin outputting his Killing Experience, directly using divine power to assist this believer’s soul in breaking through the Abyss Worm form.
In the blood pool.
A mass of flesh began to twist and change; it was about to become the form of an Abyss Worm, but soon the outline of a small humanoid creature emerged.
Coward Demon form.
The starting point for all demons, Coward Demons possess the gene tree to evolve into all demons. The blood pool in the Bottomless Abyss directly opens up the basic tree for demons; opening other forms of the gene tree requires different seeds.
“Skip the Coward Demon form.”
The form of a low-level demon is completely outside of Soren’s considerations; this is the creative model that determines the composition of his future Divine Kingdom. Starting so low would be no different than directly falling into the Bottomless Abyss. With the quality of this believer’s soul, being reincarnated as a Coward Demon would be far too easy; with a bit of luck, transforming into a Frenzied Combat Demon would be no problem at all.
Divine power continues to be output.
Soren has already expended over 100,000 points of Killing Experience.
However, after passing the Coward Demon form, the Demon Gene Tree has already been opened, and from Soren’s perspective, he can see more secrets, including potential changes in demon forms.
Unfortunately, it’s somewhat unclear, but Soren still has ways around it.
“Consume Killing Experience!”
“Activate data simulation operation!… Record demon form mutation data!… Create mutations of the demon gene tree model!… ”
The divine-level operational capacity is activated.
Following a torrent of crazed data flow, Soren’s brain operates like a supercomputer, temporarily cutting off the connections with the temple and believers, and launching the data conversion for simulating the mutations of the demon gene tree based on the divine template.
