Dark Forest (Spirit World)

*Not to be confused with Forest of Darkness (Jiuli Realm)*

**Dark Forest**, Spirit World, controlled the Heaven Devouring Forest

The Heaven Devouring Forest was called the Dark Forest in the Spirit World. They were the enemies of the Forest of Life. The two sides were like water and fire, and they had been fighting for countless years.

## Story

When Long Chen and Meng Qi first visit it, LC steals a branch from the Dark Forest. They were then chased by some kind of tree demon.

When Long Chen asked about the Dark Forest, it said that they came from a branch of the demon devil world. They were tree demons.

### Debut

The Blood Phoenix immediately came to a stop. It told Meng Qi that this was an extremely terrifying place. If it entered, it would be killed.

Long Chen was shocked by what he saw. Each of these trees soared into the sky. Each one of them was several miles high. They soared above the clouds and blocked the sun.

As they approached, Long Chen realized that these trees were even larger than he had thought from afar. Furthermore, they weren't all one kind. But each one of them was incredibly huge. Long Chen was like an ant in front of them.

He climbed to the top of one of the trees. Because it was so tall, the dense foliage blocked his sight, and he couldn't see Meng Qi anymore. But he could still sense her soul.

At the top of the tree, he found a large fruit. That fruit was three feet wide and shaped like a coconut. Long Chen didn't dare to use his saber. Instead, he gently broke it off with his hands.

### Reinforcements

The Dark Forest brought back the Heaven Devouring Forest they had set up on the Martial Heaven Continent in order to raise a group of extremely powerful tree demons.

The Martial Heaven Continent was different from the Spirit World. The Martial Heaven Continent was full of strife and slaughter, and tree demons all liked to absorb that air. It was beneficial to their growth.

Furthermore, the spirit trees were unable to directly participate in the battle. They could only bestow their power to the spirit warriors and spirit beasts. When they were injured, they would use their own energy to heal them. The tree demons had no such restriction.

They got reinforced 3 months 17 days ago according to the units of the Martial Heaven Continent, not long after Long San raided Pill Valley... Long Chen had almost destroyed Pill Valley, as well as provoked a huge fight between them and the Heaven Devouring Forest, causing the Heaven Devouring Forest to take heavy losses.

"The Dark Forest has secret connections to many of the powers of the Martial Heaven Continent. So I will make a very brazen guess. Back when the Dark Forest first established spatial channels to spread their roots to the Martial Heaven Continent, they made it seem like this was simply the actions of the Dark Forest, but the truth was that they had already received the approval of Pill Valley, the Corrupt path, the ancient races, and the other various powers. That was why they weren't immediately destroyed when they first entered the continent. Once they had established themselves, they began to spread rapidly, blocking off the way from the Eastern Xuan Region to the Central Xuan Region. They would occasionally kill experts crossing through them, but due to their secret connections with powers like Pill Valley, they couldn't be eradicated.

"Because of the Heaven Devouring Forest, the Dark Forest's power grows greater and greater at a rapid rate. Most likely, the Dark Forest doesn't even view the Forest of Life as an opponent any longer. They simply want to get more benefits from growing in the Martial Heaven Continent. But because of their falling out with Pill Valley, although it looked like they settled things, they are filled with hatred. They view the Forest of Life as a fat slab of meat, and they're using you as a bargaining chip with the Corrupt path, ancient races, and other powers.

"All these other powers were invited into the Spirit World, but I believe only the Pill Valley was rejected. Pill Valley is under great pressure as it is and doesn't have the energy to participate in this matter. Others can enter and get benefits, but Pill Valley can't. This is their way of punishing Pill Valley for the previous battle. That's why, at the very least, our opponents won't include the flame cultivators of Pill Valley. That will make things much easier on us, and I'll be able to come up with certain stratagems for the battle.

### Bargaining

The Dark Forest was using the Ancient Battlefield and the Forest of Life as bargaining chips to work together with them. Their goal was to hold Pill Valley in check.

Ever since Pill Valley and the powers other than the Righteous path had accepted the Heaven Devouring Forest taking root in the Martial Heaven Continent, the various powers had obtained countless benefits from the Spirit World. The Forest of Life and the Ancient Battlefield had essentially become trial regions for them to temper their disciples.

This time, in order to express their sincerity, the Dark Forest didn't restrict the number of people allowed into the Spirit World, and had set up an entrance to the Spirit World that allowed the Corrupt path to kill any adventurers from the Martial Heaven Continent.

### Annihilation

The void began to twist crazily, forming a huge portal. Countless tree demons rushed into it like a flood.

They fled. Now that they had left the Spirit World, it would be difficult for them to come back in. Leaving might be easy, but coming back in was difficult. The world's natural protective barriers would prevent them from forming a new channel. Opening it would definitely not be a simple matter of using some brute force like they were doing now.

The stronger tree demons quickly vanished. As for the weaker tree demons, they were abandoned and died to the black soil.

To be safe, Long Chen spent three days searching for any traces of the Dark Forest's lifeforms. He mobilized all the warriors of the Forest of Life, having them go over every inch of the Spirit World.

They pulled up quite a few hidden roots. They were all excavated and destroyed. After three days, the Spirit World was completely cleaned up.

## Trivia

* The Dark Forest's Magical Beasts are all controlled by the Dark Forest. Their souls are completely controlled, and they were originally dumb anyways. Now they basically don't have any ability to think on their own.
