This upheaval came utterly without warning; the entire Rotten Moss Plain plunged into unprecedented chaos.

Those monsters that relied on the rotten moss and Yin Evil Qi for survival, like venomous salamanders lurking in the foul water, rapidly shriveled and withered under the flushing of Life Force, turning into pools of green liquid in the blink of an eye, then merging into the environment.

Not only the monsters, even those Evil Cultivators lurking in the Rotten Moss Plain felt discomfort.

Most of these Evil Cultivators cultivated vicious poisonous arts, their bodies wreathed in death Qi and evil Qi; to them, Life Force was like being burned by raging fire.

It not only dispelled the evil Qi within these people's bodies, but their meridians also snapped inch by inch under the impact; quite a few Evil Cultivators with low cultivation exploded on the spot, flesh and blood spraying everywhere.

Only a minority with profound cultivation barely managed to hold on by relying on their powerful cultivation, yet their faces were also deathly pale, their breathing disordered.

These people fled in sorry state from their hiding places, gathering toward the direction of the Nine-Headed Centipede Banyan.

They originally thought only this evil spirit plant could let them catch their breath.

But in fact, the Nine-Headed Centipede Banyan, as the root of the upheaval, was currently undergoing a qualitative transformation.

Previously, its tree trunk was incomparably stout, requiring several dozen people to encircle it.

On its dark brown bark, patterns like living centipedes slowly writhed; nine branches twisted and coiled, extending over a hundred li.

Dark red fruits hung among the branches, their surfaces dense with insect eyes; the sound of poisonous insects wriggling was clearly audible.

A pungent fishy smell scattered along the evil wind; a lingering decaying aura wreathed its whole body.

But under the flushing of Life Force, all of this was changing.

The dark brown bark gradually shed its gloom, turning into a warm, verdant green; the writhing centipede patterns on the surface gradually faded and disappeared, replaced by fine leaf-vein patterns, as if the entire tree had turned into a giant piece of Spirit Jade, its overall aspect lustrous and glowing.

The nine twisted branches were no longer ferocious, but became stretched and upright; tender green new buds sprouted on the branches, the buds rapidly growing and blooming into small white flowers, their fragrance fresh and elegant, dispelling the lingering fishy smell.

Those dark red bizarre fruits, wrapped in Life Force, gradually shed their blood color, turning into crystalline, translucent green fruits; the insect eyes on the fruit surfaces vanished, replaced by faint Spiritual Light.

Inside there were no longer poisonous insects wriggling; instead they contained pure Life Force.

The whole Nine-Headed Centipede Banyan, from a spine-chilling evil spirit plant, metamorphosed into a rare spirit tree containing vast vitality.

Spiritual Energy coiled around it, its branches and leaves luxuriant; it was like two completely different trees compared to its previous appearance.

Deep in Qiong Valley, at the end of the passage shrouded in Decay Qi, the Nine-Headed Centipede sat cross-legged on the stone platform, its eight ferocious insect heads continuously inhaling and exhaling Life Force, repairing its body damaged by Decay Qi.

His human face was full of sinister ruthlessness, his mind calculating how to quickly break through the Law Barrier deep in the passage and find the Nine-Headed Centipede Banyan Core.

But just then, a vast and unmatched Life Force pierced through Qiong Valley's Decay Qi barrier, surged into the passage, and violently collided with the Yin Evil Qi and chaotic laws inside the passage.

"Hm?"

The Nine-Headed Centipede abruptly opened its eyes, a flash of astonishment crossing them: "This is... Creation Law? Who's making trouble outside!"

He could clearly feel the Yin Evil Qi of the outside world rapidly dissipating, replaced by rich Life Force.

Especially the aura coming from the Nine-Headed Centipede Banyan, which had also changed from the original Yin Evil decay to warm and vast; obviously an earth-shaking change had occurred.

Once the Nine-Headed Centipede Banyan undergoes a change, its core will likewise mutate accordingly.

This is the key to my own breakthrough to Spirit Transformation; it absolutely cannot be lost.

The Nine-Headed Centipede could not remain seated; it turned into a black shadow and raced out along the passage.

It passed through the crack, skimmed over the passage littered with broken shells, and rushed out of Qiong Valley in one go.

The moment his whole person stepped into the Rotten Moss Plain, the scene before him made his pupils contract sharply, his face full of disbelief.

The once Yin Evil Rotten Moss Plain had now turned into a verdant land with lush vegetation and abundant Spiritual Energy.

Gurgling streams wound around, floral fragrance permeating the air.

The foul-water swamps had vanished; those monsters and Evil Cultivators that relied on Yin Evil Qi for survival suffered catastrophic casualties, all turning into nutrients.

Especially the Nine-Headed Centipede Banyan, which had now also metamorphosed into a vibrant spirit tree; not a trace of Yin Evil Qi could be felt anymore, only vast Life Force coiling around it.

Especially the Nine-Headed Centipede Banyan, which at this moment had also shed its old form and become a vibrant Soul Tree; not a trace of Yin Evil Qi could be sensed any longer, only vast Life Force coiling around it.

The Nine-Headed Centipede was furious; its eight insect heads simultaneously let out sharp shrieks: "Just who is it, daring to ruin my major undertaking!"

He could guess this was definitely someone doing it on purpose.

Otherwise, not acting early, not acting late, but acting precisely at his critical moment.

At this moment, several sorry figures rushed out — precisely those surviving Evil Cultivators.

The moment they saw the Nine-Headed Centipede, their eyes were replaced by terror.

"It's the Nine-Headed Centipede..."

"Perhaps we can ask him to save our lives?"

"Senior Nine-Headed Centipede, a terrifying Life Force suddenly appeared here; we cannot resist it. Please lend a hand to help us!"

Most of these Evil Cultivators recognized the Nine-Headed Centipede and knew this person's ruthless methods.

Matters having come to this, they could only resort to this last resort.

The Nine-Headed Centipede coldly glanced at them at the words, not a trace of pity in its eyes.

These Evil Cultivators had witnessed the Rotten Moss Plain's upheaval and seen it rush out of Qiong Valley; they must have guessed something.

If allowed to live, the news would certainly leak out.

Then it would definitely attract more cultivators' coveting, thereby hindering the plan's progress.

The Nine-Headed Centipede's human face curled a ruthless smile at the corner of its mouth: "Since you've seen, then all stay here."

Before the words fell, Yin Evil Qi surged violently around it.

The eight insect heads simultaneously raised, spewing out completely different killing moves, instantly weaving an airtight attack net that enveloped the surviving Evil Cultivators.

Eight worm heads rose simultaneously, spraying forth utterly different Killing Moves; in an Instant they wove an impenetrable net of attack, enveloping the surviving Evil Cultivators.

The Devouring Heart Gu Head on the left moved first, a white ray tearing through the air like a sharp blade, slashing straight at the Evil Cultivator's Flesh Body.

The Ink Jade Centipede Head followed close behind, black poison withering the moment it touched the Ground, grass and trees instantly turning into rotting mud.

The Red Silk Bee Head's poison needles fell like rain, blazing flames wrapped in deadly poison Scorching flesh and blood.

The Poison Whisker Spider Head's silver threads like locks, paralyzing toxin climbing along the spider silk to coil around the Evil Cultivator's Four Limbs.

The Rotten Bone Moth Head on the Right drew upon Earth Qi, the Ground's thorn forest suddenly rising, a string of Earth Thorns emerging.

The Ghost Face Snail Head's blue waves Surged, freezing power Ice Sealing the Stream into ice, grass and trees frozen stiff dead.

The Green Flame Centipede Head's green flames burning souls, nether fire Licking between Igniting the Xiuxian Zhe's Divine Soul.

The Devouring Blood Ant Head's vines growing wildly, Dao Guan frantically sucking essence blood.

Eight Killing Moves intertwined and collided, in an Instant submerging the Evil Cultivators.

They were already heavily injured, Breath disordered, facing an Existence like the Nine-Headed Insect, they simply had no power to resist.

"No!"

"Senior Nine-Headed Insect, spare our lives!"

"We... we don't want to die..."

The Evil Cultivators let out Despairing wails, some tried to activate Magic Treasures to resist, but the moment they sacrificed them, they were shattered by the white cutting force.

Some tried to Flee, but were tightly bound by silver spider silk and green vines.

In the blink of an eye, Screams rose and fell, those Evil Cultivators' bodies either cut into Fragments, or corroded away by poison and nether fire, or pierced by Earth Thorns and sucked by vines, even their Divine Souls unable to escape!
