Chapter 160: Promoted to Heavenly Calamity!

Of course, regarding the identity of the Descender, Heiyuanmolong did not suspect Chen Mo.

A mere King Realm supernatural creature, how could it possibly master the power of 【Descent】?

Don't joke around.

Heiyuanmolong initially suspected that the Descender was very likely Anubis or a certain deity under his command.

Because later on the battlefield, a peak King Realm golden divine statue also appeared; this should be the creation of the death god Anubis.

Moreover, Heiyuanmolong guessed that this deity was very likely severely injured or in a dormant state, so the power it could exert would be so weak.

He even said that even the Descent seemed extremely strained.

In Heiyuanmolong's view, the power displayed by the Hydra Giant Snake in slaughtering the Heiyuan Sea Beasts was still not strong enough! If it were a true divine descent, a mere wisp of breath could kill all the Heiyuan Sea Beasts in this sea area! 'Interesting.'

'This world has only just begun its spiritual energy revival, and already deities have descended.'

'It seems your talents are quite good.'

'Little sea snake, and that little Suanni, I can't wait to eat you both.'

After saying that, Heiyuanmolong spat a mouthful of essence blood at a black giant dragon over ten meters long in front of him.

This black dragon had black-gold scales, lifelike, and its appearance was about seventy to eighty percent similar to Heiyuanmolong.

This is a substitute puppet; after being irrigated with blood, it can be refined into a clone.

Heiyuanmolong has been irrigating it with his own essence blood and dragon soul for many days; soon it will be able to transform into a clone possessing Heavenly Calamity Realm strength.

Then it will be able to become its clone walking in this world!

Great Snow Mountain Secret Realm Ice Spider Mountain.

'What!? You're asking me if I have a way to deal with Heiyuanmolong?'

Beside the Bronze Gate, the Heavenly Canopy Ice Spider widened its eyes, gazing at Chen Mo, with an expression saying 'What are you thinking?'

After finishing with the Hydra Giant Snake, Chen Mo's consciousness returned to his main body, then he asked the Heavenly Canopy Ice Spider if there was a way to kill Heiyuanmolong.

Mainly because Heiyuanmolong had annoyed him a bit.

Given the current trend, Heiyuanmolong will surely not let this rest; it is surely brewing its next attack.

Although Chen Mo is not afraid, this remains a hidden danger; if not eliminated, it could erupt at any time.

'Do you know what you're saying?'

The Heavenly Canopy Ice Spider spoke:

'You are only at the peak of the King Realm, while Heiyuanmolong is at the peak of the Totem Realm; there are three major realms between you.'

'You actually dare to plot against Heiyuanmolong?'

'Moreover, it is an extremely special existence among all World Guardians.'

'The vast majority of World Guardians are agents or retinues of certain deities, and they are the administrators of Descent Secret Realms.'

'And Heiyuanmolong is very likely the master of the Heiyuan Secret Realm.'

In the two months after contacting Chen Mo, the Heavenly Canopy Ice Spider also roughly understood the current situation on Blue Star and the other World Guardians.

In its view, Heiyuanmolong is absolutely the strongest and most troublesome.

Even itself probably isn't a match.

The Suanni is actually getting a bit swollen-headed, even fantasizing about taking down Heiyuanmolong.

'I'll just ask; since you seniors have no way to kill Heiyuanmolong, then forget it.'

Chen Mo also just asked casually.

He and Heiyuanmolong had already become enemies.

Rather than passively waiting for Heiyuanmolong's next attack, it's better to take the initiative!

If the Heavenly Canopy Ice Spider has a method, that would naturally be best.

If Heiyuanmolong happens to have a weakness, we could exploit it.

Even if we can't kill it, making it feel disgusted would be good.

So we wouldn't have to keep sending Heiyuan Sea Beasts to mess with his sea area.

'However, although you can't kill Heiyuanmolong now, you don't need to overly worry about its threat.'

The Heavenly Canopy Ice Spider slowly said:

'Given the current trend, at least within ten years, Heiyuanmolong's true body cannot leave the Heiyuan Secret Realm.'

'With your current growth rate, in ten years it might not even be your opponent; by then you could toy with it as you please.'

Given the Suanni monster's advancement speed, the Heavenly Canopy Ice Spider feels this scenario is quite likely.

'Ice Spider Senior, why can you only stay in a fixed area? What would happen if you forcibly left?'

Chen Mo asked curiously.

This has been a question he's always had in his heart.

World Guardians seem to only be able to stay near the inner world passages they guard.

Now his relationship with the Heavenly Canopy Ice Spider is still decent, barely counting as half a friend; asking this kind of question is not really taboo.

'Because World Guardians are the cornerstone that anchors the inner world passages to this world; once a World Guardian moves, the descended secret realm will lose its anchor and drift away from this world.'

'However, after the secret realm descends, it will gradually merge into this world and truly become part of it.'

'At that time, World Guardians will no longer be restrained and can act freely.'

The Heavenly Canopy Ice Spider replied.

Chen Mo nodded.

I see.

No wonder, before the secret realm formally descended, the World Guardians had already taken the lead in descending onto Blue Star.

It turned out he had used himself as an anchor point to guide the descent of the secret realm.

For instance, before the Great Snow Mountain Secret Realm descended, Chen Mo had already spotted the Sky Canopy Ice Spider.

After exchanging some notes with the Sky Canopy Ice Spider about matters to pay attention to when advancing to the Calamity Realm, Chen Mo entered the Ice Phoenix Divine Temple once more, preparing to continue his secluded cultivation.

One's own strength was the foundation of everything!

——————————

Time flew by.

The real world.

After the war ended, the sea area where the Guixu clan resided returned to a peaceful life once more.

In this war, the Sea Clan's casualties were not severe.

Moreover, after this battle, the speed of purifying the Black Water Sea Region clearly increased by a great deal.

In order to kill the Hydra Serpent, the Black Abyss Electric Eel had mobilized nearly all the Black Abyss sea beasts in the nearby waters.

And then they were all wiped out in one fell swoop by Chen Mo and the Sekhmet Divine Statue.

Previously, when the Sea Clan carried out purification work, they still had to face the threat of Black Abyss sea beasts; now they only needed to desperately plant purifying seaweed.

Upon learning that in the end it was the Lion King who took action, and that he had called in reinforcements — the "Sekhmet Divine Statue" — all the Sea Clan's faith points toward Chen Mo rose significantly.

The spiritual power fed back from faith becoming a god also gave Chen Mo another small boost.

The Ice Lion Kingdom, meanwhile, was stirred into an uproar by a piece of news.

Many high-ranking figures within the kingdom, the Lion King's direct subordinates, had quietly advanced to the King Realm! The Snow-Treading Fox leader Bing Li and the Frost Sheep leader — they had all been suddenly summoned by the Lion King, and upon returning had actually already advanced to King level! Among the various races of the Great Snow Mountain, some were excited, some envious, and some shocked.

One must know that there was a chasm between the Lord Realm and the King Realm; living beings without King bloodlines simply could not advance!

And among these high-ranking figures, a few had only just advanced to High Lord, and then in the span of just a few days they had actually advanced to King?

Simply inconceivable!

This made some leaders whose strength had already reached High Lord but who had not been summoned itch with curiosity.

Wang Long in particular — not long ago, his old superior Li Zheng had told him to research the Ice Lion King's preferences, as the Dongxia side was preparing to cater to his tastes and try their best to build good relations with the Ice Lion Kingdom.

And now the Ice Lion Kingdom had suddenly gained so many more King Realm existences.

Wang Long was extremely curious; he tried asking Lion Mother and the Snow-Treading Spirit Fox Bing Li, but got no results.

Because Chen Mo had not given any instructions, the newly advanced King existences all kept their mouths shut about the advancement process.

But Wang Long also roughly guessed that their advancement was inseparable from the Ice Lion King.

Without a doubt —

His Majesty the Lion King had mastered some method that could reliably help other living beings advance to the King Realm!

And as this news spread and fermented, Chen Mo was surprised to find that his spiritual power had actually increased again.

Because the faith points of the vast majority of the Ice Lion Kingdom's living beings had all risen, the colors of their faith lines had deepened considerably, and many more "believers" whose faith points reached 90 had appeared.

Under the blessing of 【Totem Lion】, this power of faith was converted into spiritual power, and his originally weakest divine soul had instead become Chen Mo's highest attribute.

The inner world of the Great Snow Mountain Secret Realm.

Amidst the gleaming white snow, a giant lion with snow-white fur submerged his entire body in the freezing spring water.

At this moment, Chen Mo's body radiated an incomparably terrifying aura.

The surrounding ice-element origin spiritual energy madly converged toward him!

The sheer quantity and concentration of ice-element spiritual energy was so great that it even formed an ice storm vortex around Chen Mo! This scene was like a whale swallowing all creation.

A week had already passed since the last descent.

During this period, Chen Mo simultaneously used the treasures containing ice-element origin obtained from the Cold Ice Trial Tower and leveraged the Cold Ice Sacred Spring to accelerate the refinement of his spiritual energy.

At this moment, 99% of the spiritual energy throughout his entire body had already been converted into ice-element origin spiritual energy.

Beneath Chen Mo, beasts such as the Snow Divine Raven and the Ice Sparrow were also cultivating silently here.

"Chirp~" (So comfortable~)

After finishing a day's cultivation, the Ice Sparrow took a deep, comfortable breath.

The spiritual energy near this spring was simply too dense.

Cultivating here for one day was even equivalent to cultivating outside for a month or more!

Even the Ice Sparrow, who normally liked to slack off, had been absorbing ice-element spiritual energy day and night without rest for this entire week.

The feeling of sensing oneself grow stronger every single minute and second was simply too intoxicating! And after advancing to the King Realm and further awakening the Ice Phoenix bloodline within its body, its previous problem of "sleepiness" had also improved a lot.

The main reason it had been sleepy before was that the Ice Phoenix bloodline had not awakened; with its divine soul being overly powerful, it would easily get drowsy.

"Caw!" (Lord Ice Sparrow, would you like some ice fruit?) The Snow Divine Raven, seeing the Ice Sparrow wake up, took out a few ice-blue fruits from its backpack and asked.

Lord Ice Sparrow had been cultivating continuously for 24 hours — this was completely different from the Lord Ice Sparrow in its impression!

"Chirp!" (Yes!)

The Ice Sparrow also felt a bit hungry; after quickly swallowing three ice fruits, it prepared to continue cultivating.

Thinking of those extraordinary beings who had chosen to leave after advancing previously, it felt "deeply pained."

Such a treasured land, and they actually weren't seizing the opportunity to cultivate!

Instead, they were thinking of going to the Great Snow Mountain to "show off before the beasts."

"Chirp?" (Raven, do you think His Majesty is going to break through again this time?) the Ice Sparrow said softly.

These past few days, it could clearly feel the aura radiating from the Suanni becoming increasingly terrifying, like a volcano constantly accumulating energy, waiting to erupt.

The Ice Sparrow's voice was very soft, afraid of disturbing the Lion King's cultivation.

"Caw!"

The Snow Divine Raven nodded.

It had an almost blind trust and worship toward Chen Mo — wasn't it perfectly normal for His Majesty to break through? And as the two beasts conversed, a violent fluctuation of spiritual energy suddenly came from above their heads.

"Crow!?" (His Majesty is about to advance to the Heavenly Disaster Realm?)

As the last trace of spiritual power transformed into origin spiritual power.

In an instant, the ice-element origin spiritual power within Chen Mo's body surged rapidly toward every limb and bone; stimulated by the spiritual power, the power hidden deep within his bloodline's genes was swiftly awakened.

And the once "untamable" ice-element origin spiritual power became like a docile and obedient little kitten, completely submitting to Chen Mo's will.

Before, it had been mere refinement; now, he had thoroughly mastered the ice-element origin! Successfully advanced to the Heavenly Disaster Realm! "So this is the power of the Heavenly Disaster Realm?"

Sensing the mighty power surging within his body, Chen Mo felt pleased.

The current him could take on at least seven or eight of his pre-advancement selves!

Despite King Peak and the Heavenly Disaster Realm being separated by only a single level, the difference in combat power was like heaven and earth.

Because the spiritual power mastered was completely different! Ordinary ice-element spiritual power, before origin spiritual power, was like a soldier seeking audience with a monarch.

This was power on an entirely different level!

After advancing to the Heavenly Disaster Realm, Chen Mo could even control the spiritual power within a given area through sheer will, making creatures below the Heavenly Disaster Realm unable to release even a single ability! With a thought, Chen Mo glanced at his current attribute panel to examine the changes after advancing to the Heavenly Disaster Realm—

【Suanni (Male)】

【Level: Low-tier Heavenly Disaster】

【Constitution: 1.23w】

【Agility: 1.17w】

【Strength: 1.32w】

【Spirit: 1.56w】

【Abilities: Law of Heaven and Earth, Absolute Zero, Suanni Battle Method, True Spirit Nine Transformations, Demon Suppression, Ceasefire.】

【Overall Combat Power: 471241~533293】

After advancing, his maximum overall combat power reached as high as 530,000—nearly an increase of over one-fold!

In addition, he had awakened two new abilities.

【Law of Heaven and Earth】 and 【Absolute Zero】

【Absolute Zero】 was an ice-element attack spell of immense power.

It could control the temperature within a range of several thousand meters, bringing it infinitely close to minus 273.15 degrees.

Minus 273.15 degrees is known in thermodynamics as absolute zero, a lower limit that exists only in theory.

At this temperature, not only the body and blood, but all molecules and atoms that constitute matter would cease movement!

The effect it produced was akin to time standing still!

The 【Absolute Zero】 Chen Mo released was not true absolute zero, only infinitely close to it.

But even so, within the zone Chen Mo created, nearly all life would be thoroughly frozen.

Even the flow of time would become extremely slow! Chen Mo tested it—the speed of time's passage within the absolute zero zone slowed by more than 20-fold! Yet he himself was completely unaffected!

This ability could be called exceedingly powerful, and its applications were extraordinarily broad! It was a formidable ability that combined control and raw power in one!
