This land must be conquered.

Not only because it can generate protection fees, but more importantly, this land actually automatically hatches soul worms.

Just now, Su Ziyu witnessed the birth of a soul worm. He vaguely heard a noise, then saw a small worm emerge from the ground, its gray-white body seeming to be freshly born, randomly gnawing at some things around it and then growing into the size of a normal Abyssal worm.

After its birth, the Abyssal worm wandered in place, seemingly without any intelligence.

No wonder there are wild worm swarms here.

Su Ziyu casually marked the soul worm and then continued to lead his demon army to sweep over the corrupted plain before him.

After knowing there was a witch demon nearby, he was somewhat concerned.

A large number of wild sharp claw demons were slain.

This Abyssal eroded land is about a hundred square kilometers. Su Ziyu soon reached the border area, taking a step forward; the color of the soil was a withered yellow, while the land beneath his feet was tinted with a deep red hue.

Basically, you don't see demons outside this range.

Outside seems to be the territory of beasts, insects, and Sub-dragon species. From afar, he could see Earth Dragons leisurely strolling, resembling small hills of meat.

"This is my territory now!"

As a newly promoted Demon Lord, Su Ziyu quickly claimed this land as his own. He left half of the sharp claw demons behind and took the other demons back to the Abyssal Blood Pool.

Today's battle results are quite good.

Su Ziyu gained over 6000 points of Power of Slaughter, 210 points of Soul Value, 160 points of Demon Gene, plus several Soul Crystal Stones.

These all came from wild demons.

There weren't many powerful demons in this land. The most dangerous demon encountered was a sharp claw demon elite, which might have promoted to a Demon Lord if not for Su Ziyu's intervention.

"Master." The enchanting demon adjutant greeted warmly.

She brought back about ten kobolds, but Su Ziyu noticed there seemed to be an injury on her arm.

"What's wrong?" Su Ziyu asked.

"Encountered a kobold warlock, but I took care of it." The enchanting demon adjutant boasted, raising her trophy: "It'll heal by tomorrow."

It was a somewhat ragged-looking magic staff.

Su Ziyu had no intention of taking her trophy, as the enchanting demon's intellect was quite high. He left it with her as a weapon.

The resources acquired this time are already sufficient.

Su Ziyu quickly decided to upgrade the Abyssal Blood Pool because it was his main base.

50 points of Soul Value, 100 points of Demon Gene, 10,000 points of Power of Slaughter.

This consumption was a bit painful.

Su Ziyu had to convert some Soul Crystal Stones because the Power of Slaughter might soon run out.

"Abyssal Blood Pool [Tier Two]."

"Demon Hatching Pool: Hatch efficiency +100%, Demon Gene Tree unlock 40%, Demon Gene Mutation Efficiency 20%, Soul Collection Efficiency +20, Power of Slaughter Conversion +40%."

"Enhanced Soul Collection: There is a certain chance of obtaining high-quality souls, with a very low chance of obtaining Legendary Quality souls."

"Demon Promotion: Consumes certain resources to transform demons; they can directly be promoted to elite units."

"Soul Revival: Consumes certain resources to revive the souls of demons, potentially awakening some memories from past lives to gain special abilities, only applicable to elite units for the ritual."

"Worm Mother: Consume 5000 points of Power of Slaughter, 300 points of Soul Value, 200 points of Demon Gene to summon a Worm Mother. The Worm Mother will not leave the range of the Abyssal Blood Pool and is not subject to the Demon Lord's command, but any enemy approaching will suffer its attack. It is considered a Demon Lord, leader unit."

"Promotion Requirement: Soul Value 100 points, Demon Gene 200 points, Power of Slaughter 20,000 points."

The earth trembled.

Su Ziyu sensed something evil and powerful surging from underground. The scale of the Abyssal Blood Pool was gradually expanding, and the previously yellowish land was slowly transforming into desecrated ground.

Gushing torrents of blood-like liquid appeared.

All demons seemed invigorated, with the enchanting demon adjutant appearing as if she wanted to cling to Su Ziyu.

"Master! Our power has grown again!" the enchanting demon adjutant exclaimed excitedly.

After its upgrade, the Abyssal Blood Pool had a diameter nearing a hundred meters. Demons were able to rapidly recover their injuries upon nearing it, although they couldn't enter it; the blood-like liquid was dangerous to them.

Worm Mother?

Demon Lord?

Cannot be commanded? Equivalent to a powerful guardian?

Su Ziyu first noticed the Worm Mother, it was a several-meter-long giant worm. It looked similar to the Abyssal worm, but it gave a unique sense of pressure.

"Such a big worm! It's a pity the cost to summon it is too high!" Su Ziyu couldn't help but shake his head.

The system displayed its information.

The Worm Mother is a powerful creature born near the Abyssal Blood Pool, its strength approaching that of ordinary Demon Lords, but they lack intelligence, being led by a generic consciousness.

It protects soul worms, preventing anyone from getting near the Abyssal Blood Pool.

But it cannot be taken outside.

Once the Worm Mother appears near the Abyssal Blood Pool, unless this Abyssal Blood Pool is exhausted, they will never leave.

"Hatch 50 sharp claw demons."

Su Ziyu noticed the speed of demon hatching increased, and some higher-tier demons were unlocked, including his current form — Fire Burning Demon.

The newly unlocked demon forms—Frenzy Demon, Cunning Demon, Fire Burning Demon, Fluo Demon, Demon-Hunting Spider, and Snake Demon.

Su Ziyu could see their graphics and information.

Although.

These demons are mostly middle-tier demons; some have prerequisites for promotion, seemingly related to mastered abilities.

Ding.

"The Abyssal Blood Pool has captured a high-quality soul."

Su Ziyu had just finished upgrading the Abyssal Blood Pool and was checking the extended demon information when suddenly, a system notification startled him.

Collected something so soon?

Su Ziyu looked surprised, using the system's capability to gaze into the Abyssal Blood Pool, soon seeing a tall soul.

Giant?

Its height was about five to six meters, resembling human features but lacking any hair, and its soul state seemed related to its pre-death status. The giant soul's awareness was very hazy, its robust physique emitting an oppressive aura, intimidating other captured souls to stay away.

——"Soul of the Fire Giant (Excellent Quality): The soul of a Fire Giant warrior, upon demon conversion might awaken some pre-life skills, reducing Power of Slaughter consumption for demon promotion mutation by 25%."
