504: Chapter 436 Magic Amplifier_2 504: Chapter 436 Magic Amplifier_2 This place was once used to imprison the Divine Root, so naturally, the area is quite expansive.

The wall structure is not made of stone, but, like the Tower of Dominion, is entirely crystal.

The only exception is the ground, which is covered with a layer of black soil of unknown thickness, carrying a strong rotting smell.

For ordinary people, this smell would be a bit too foul, but to the Dark Treants, it seemed like a treasured delicacy.

The more intelligent Dark Treants behaved more reservedly, merely extending some feeder roots from under their feet to take root in the black soil.

The less intelligent Vine Fiends weren’t so courteous, shaking their bodies and going directly into a rooting state.

The most unrestrained were, of course, those Tentacle Demon Vines with low intelligence, acting on instinct, who opened their gaping maws and used their two sturdy tentacles to crazily stuff the black soil into their mouths.

After taking a big bite, they wriggled their lower halves and buried most of their bodies into the black soil, then became motionless.

However, streams of black mist began to drift out from their bodies.

This black mist soared upwards, disappearing into the crystal walls or the crystal dome above.

Some of it was absorbed as energy, while some were blocked, turning into black dust that fluttered down, merging with the black soil below.

Clearly, this black soil originated from that process—it was the residue from purifying the Divine Root, the most beneficial nutrient for plant growth, and especially for Awakened Plants, a perfect tonic.

After entering the Sealing layer, heaps of knowledge about it flooded into Gaven’s mind through the Insight Gemstone.

This place had a strong sealing function.

Apart from the Teleportation Spell cast by the Tower of Dominion, all other teleportation abilities were ineffective here.

Incarnations of gods with Feeble Divine Power or below would find their strength greatly suppressed here, making it very difficult to break out from the inside.

Contrary to what Gaven and the others had expected—of not being able to see their hands in front of their faces due to the darkness—this place was not only not dark but even brighter than the surface.

The crystal dome emitted white light, and, at the very center, a part of the crystal column stretched out into a Crystal Ball similar in size to the one at the top of the tower, radiating intensely bright light, identical to sunlight.

At first sight of it, Gaven had already established a connection with it and mastered how to use it.

Gaven’s eyes fell upon a Dark Treant and he revealed a profound smile, saying, “Since you’ve come this far, there’s no point in pretending anymore.

This prison was specially constructed for you Moando Servants.”

The Dark Treant, which had eight legs and resembled a giant spider, also sensed the terrifying threat overhead.

Realizing that if it didn’t strike now, it might lose even the last chance to do so, it pushed off the ground with its eight legs, lunging towards Gaven with a shrill cry, “Moando’s sacred will shall never perish!

Those who desecrate it must be destroyed, go to hell!”

Its mouth suddenly split wide open, revealing countless dark, shiny, harpoon-shaped tree spikes, which it launched in a barrage.

The intense rotting smell coming from those spikes scared even the other Dark Treants; no one doubted the poison contained within them.

Being struck by just one would mean immediate death, even for a Transcendent.

“Moando’s high-ranking Pet Servant!

At a time like this, you still dare to commit atrocities!” declared the Tree Spirit named Triss in a booming voice, swiftly stepping in front of Gaven with his imposing figure.

“Lord, fear not, we are here for you.” a Multi-Armed Treant, even taller than Triss, was faster to act, stepping in front of Gaven and shouting, but his extra pair of arms suddenly reversed at the joints, forming giant fists, and hammered down viciously towards Gaven, as if eager to pound him into a pulp.

“How dare you!” The rest of the Dark Treants sprang into action as well, some pouncing towards the Spider Treant, others towards the Multi-Armed Treant, their expressions couldn’t hide the urgent fury.

They hadn’t expected that there were Moando Servants hiding among them, seeking an opportunity to get close to Gaven for an assassination attempt.

Whether these cultists were successful or not, it wasn’t good news for them either way.

The fragile alliance they had just forged was likely to collapse.

Gaven remained calm and unstartled, revealing a profound smile, “If you had launched a sneak attack as soon as we met, you might have caused me some trouble.

But now, you are simply seeking your own deaths.

Do you know where you are?

This is the place where the Divine Root is imprisoned.

Even it lies here quietly, coiled like a dead snake, the Light of Purification.”

The Crystal Ball at the very top of the crystal dome suddenly lit up, emitting a brilliance that was impossible to look at directly.

The next instant, a blazing white beam struck the Multi-Armed Dark Treant attempting to ambush Gaven.

Roar…

The Treant, which was large even among the Dark Treants, only managed to let out half a scream.

Then, he turned to ashes, leaving only fluttering gray dust scattering in the air.

This was not the Light of Purification, this freaking thing was the Light of Destruction.

Not only was the Spider Treant—that is, the Moando high-ranking Servant—frightened, it screamed, wildly writhing its long legs in midair to hasten its landing, then ran for its life in the direction farthest from Gaven.
