Chapter 164: Evil God's Blessing, the Power of Cosmic Form

Watching the bone crow slowly approach, the Venom Fang Dinosaur Leader desperately gathered all the strength in its body.

But it was futile. It then gave up struggling and decided to beg for mercy.

It knew—

With the strength this bone crow had displayed, killing it was merely a matter of a single thought.

Since it hadn't killed it immediately but instead restrained it, either it wanted to continue toying with it, or it had some value to the bone crow.

However, just as it was about to open its mouth to beg for mercy, the Venom Fang Dinosaur Leader suddenly caught sight of the statue of the "Venomous Mother Goddess" not far away.

At this moment, the venom gemstone had completely lost its former luster, becoming dull and dim.

This meant that this sacrifice had been completed.

And the pupils of the Venomous Mother Goddess, radiating a faint green glow, seemed to be watching it.

Suddenly, the Venom Fang Dinosaur Leader felt that it might not be entirely without a chance to resist.

It had sacrificed a Calamity-grade treasure this time. If the reward bestowed by the Venomous Mother Goddess could elevate its strength, then facing this bone crow, it would not be without a chance of victory!

"Lord Venomous Mother Goddess, please grant me strength to help me defeat this evil bone crow before me."

Thus, the Venom Fang Dinosaur Leader began to pray devoutly in its heart.

The next second.

From within the void, an invisible force descended upon the Venom Fang Dinosaur Leader.

In an instant, the poison-type spiritual power within its body began to boil, then surged at an astonishing speed.

The Venom Fang Dinosaur Leader was ecstatic.

Lord Venomous Mother Goddess had answered its plea! King high-rank... King realm peak!

The Venom Fang Dinosaur Leader's aura climbed steadily! Chen Mo and the Snow God Crow naturally noticed the change in the Venom Fang Dinosaur Leader at the first moment as well.

Seeing the Venom Fang Dinosaur Leader whose aura had suddenly grown stronger, the Snow God Crow was stunned for a moment.

Wait, bro, you can also "invoke divine descent"? "It's an evil god's blessing! That Venom Fang Dinosaur was performing a sacrifice ritual just now!"

The Little Ice Spider spoke up.

Its gaze was grave.

In fact, the moment it descended, the Sky Canopy Ice Spider had spotted that centipede statue.

At once, the Sky Canopy Ice Spider thought of that Plague Evil God Centipede that had perished together with Lord Ice Phoenix! It had paid less attention to the covetous Venom Fang Dinosaur instead.

At that time, a faint worry had already stirred in the Sky Canopy Ice Spider's heart.

And now the sudden surge in the Venom Fang Dinosaur's strength further confirmed the thought in its heart.

That Evil God Centipede had not truly died either, but was attempting to prepare for resurrection!

And the moment he noticed something wrong, Chen Mo pushed 【Evil Suppression】 to its utmost limit.

Preparing to crush this Venom Fang Dinosaur to death directly.

Originally, he had planned to obtain information about this world from the mouth of this Venom Fang Dinosaur Leader, but now killing it directly was the best option.

Information and intelligence could be obtained from other creatures in this Misty Forest.

However, 【Evil Suppression】 had already been pushed to its utmost limit. The surrounding mist was dispersed by an invisible massive force, and the soil was pressed flat.

The Venom Fang Dinosaur's bones crackled as they were crushed directly.

But it seemed to be receiving an infusion of some unknown energy, its vitality reaching an extreme! Even reduced to a puddle of flesh, it did not die immediately.

On the contrary, from the aura emanating from the Venom Fang Dinosaur Leader, it was growing stronger at an astonishing speed!

Under the effect of this mysterious power, soon, all the poison-type spiritual power within the Venom Fang Dinosaur Leader transformed into origin spiritual power, breaking through to the Calamity realm!

Of course, this was not a permanent increase.

This energy, rather than a blessing, was actually more akin to borrowing.

And the instant the Venom Fang Dinosaur Leader reached the Calamity realm, it broke free of that invisible massive force.

Under Chen Mo's descent state, the Snow God Crow's extraordinary grade had only reached the King realm limit. The power of 【Evil Suppression】 was not yet sufficient to completely bind a Calamity realm creature.

"Forget it, Crow, let's go first. Spare it."

After seeing the Venom Fang Dinosaur Leader erupt with Calamity-grade combat power, Chen Mo spoke.

It wasn't that they couldn't defeat it, but killing it would take some time.

And the commotion from a battle would likely attract other powerful creatures.

The most urgent priority was to find the location of the teleportation array that could return to the Ice Phoenix Divine Temple! "Crow~"

The Snow God Crow nodded, unwilling to entangle further. It flapped its wings and swiftly navigated through the Misty Forest.

Boom! However, the Venom Fang Dinosaur Leader pursued relentlessly, releasing poison arrows from time to time to attack.

The tables had turned. Having gained powerful strength from the Venomous Mother Goddess, it naturally refused to let this bone crow go.

Under the augmentation of this bizarre entity, the Venom Fang Dinosaur Leader's speed became incomparably fast.

Moreover, it was very familiar with this forest.

For a moment, the Snow God Crow was actually unable to shake it off.

Seeing the Venom Fang Dinosaur Leader in hot pursuit, Chen Mo also grew somewhat impatient.

"Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish."

Chen Mo thought to himself inwardly.

So he unleashed 【Cosmic Form】.

After 【Totem Lion】 had been upgraded, the Snow God Crow could already bear more of its true body's power.

Boom! Strands of origin spiritual power erupted from the Snow God Crow.

The surrounding ice-type origin spiritual power also swarmed toward the Snow God Crow.

Immediately after, a colossal bone crow phantom that blotted out the sky appeared above the Snow God Crow's head.

Its body is 600 meters long, its wingspan exceeds a kilometer, and pale soul‑fire blazes fiercely on its jade‑like skeletal remains.

Chen Mo prepared a swift, decisive strike, intending to subdue the poisonous‑tooth dinosaur leader with thunderous force, so he immediately used his currently strongest ability, **Fatianshangdi**! Because it was released through the body of the Snow God Crow, the resulting law image naturally appeared as a plus version of the Snow God Crow.

Seeing the massive creature before him, the poisonous‑tooth dinosaur leader's pupils suddenly contracted, then it turned and fled.

No, how can you still transform!? Had I known that the Bone Crow had a trick left, it would never have dared to chase! But Chen Mo had already activated the law image, how could it escape?

The Bone Crow swooped down rapidly, and the towering trees with trunks over ten meters in diameter ahead of it fell one after another.

The trunks were cleaved directly by the skeletal wings; the cuts were smooth and even, achievable only with extreme speed and an ultra‑sharp "blade".

The beings that had dwelled on those giant trees fled in droves.

Boom! The poisonous‑tooth dinosaur leader's speed was clearly a step slower than the Bone Crow that had activated the law image, accompanied by a massive roar.

**Crow Feather Slash** instantly severed its legs! Pure crushing force of power and speed.

Even between Catastrophe Realms, there are gaps!

The law image's strength is one tier higher than its true form; this Bone Crow law image reaches the early stage of the Catastrophe Realm, and with titles such as "Gluttonous Lion+" it approaches the mid‑stage of the Catastrophe Realm.

The poisonous‑tooth dinosaur leader, under the blessing of the Venomous Mother God, briefly attained the Catastrophe‑level tier.

However, in terms of spell usage and bodily quality, it has not yet reached the true Catastrophe‑level being's grade.

It can only manipulate primordial spiritual energy.

Boom! After its legs were cut off, the poisonous‑tooth dinosaur did not die.

It was like a deflated balloon; the once vigorous aura around it quickly withered.

Clearly, the power it begged from the Venomous Mother God this time was a one‑time grant.

Once the time elapsed, it receded like the tide.

Yet as a king‑level being, the poisonous‑tooth dinosaur leader did not die immediately.

Given enough time, it could even achieve limb‑regeneration rebirth.

"Roar~" (Spare me~)

Watching the Bone Crow inching toward him, terror filled the poisonous‑tooth dinosaur's eyes; its earlier swagger had vanished.

Now it only wants to survive.

"I ask, you answer: who is the strongest creature in this area?"

Through telepathy, Chen Mo asked.

"It's the Corrupt Green Dragon couple!" the poisonous‑tooth dinosaur leader replied without hesitation.

"What exact rank of life are they?"

Chen Mo asked the few things he cared most about.

"They are two Corrupt Green Dragons, likely at the peak of the Catastrophe Realm, residing at the very top of the ancient Sword‑Poison Tree in the Poison Forest."

The poisonous‑tooth dinosaur leader unhesitatingly "betrayed" the information about the Corrupt Green Dragons.

Not merely because it faced a life‑or‑death crisis.

Primarily because it holds no loyalty toward those two Corrupt Green Dragons.

If it weren't for needing to "make a living" in this area, the poisonous‑tooth dinosaur leader would probably spit at those two Corrupt Green Dragons.

"Is there an Earth Vein Core in this forest? Who currently holds the Earth Vein Core of the Poison Forest?"

Chen Mo asked again.

"It is His Majesty the Three‑Eyed Poison Scorpion."

The poisonous‑tooth dinosaur paused briefly, then spoke.

Unlike when discussing the Corrupt Green Dragons, its tone now was full of respect.

"It is the true ruler of the Poison Forest, Misty Swamp, Toxic Fog Valley and several nearby regions, also the lord of the Poison Territory."

The poisonous‑tooth dinosaur leader continued.

Chen Mo was somewhat surprised.

He had asked casually, not expecting the poisonous‑tooth dinosaur leader to actually know.

Undoubtedly, the being known as the Three‑Eyed Poison Scorpion is a genuine Legendary Realm beast, mastering the Earth Vein Core of this area called the Poison Territory.

And now the Poison Forest where the Snow God Crow resides is merely a part of the Poison Territory.

If Chen Mo wishes to ascend to the Legendary Realm, he may have to devise a way from it.

Of course, with Chen Mo's current strength, he is still far from enough.

At this stage, the most important thing is still gathering Catastrophe‑level treasures to build power.

"Why did you suddenly burst into Catastrophe Realm strength just now? Was it because of that statue?"

Chen Mo kept asking.

The poisonous‑tooth dinosaur leader's sudden surge in power was likely due to the influence of that bizarre Centipede Statue.

Earlier in battle, the Heavenly Curtain Ice Spider had "privately messaged" Chen Mo, saying that the Centipede Statue might be the Ice Phoenix's arch‑enemy, the evil god that once invaded the Snow Realm.

Chen Mo did not know whether this poisonous‑tooth dinosaur leader was an exception.

If many great beings in this Poison Forest have similar "burst‑seed" methods, that would be terrifying.

"That statue is the Venomous Mother God herself."

The poisonous‑tooth dinosaur leader began to narrate slowly, detailing the legend of the Venomous Mother God to Chen Mo.

When the Heavenly Curtain Ice Spider heard that such statues were extremely rare, it couldn't help but sigh in relief.

It seems that the evil god has only just regained some vigor, scattering statues to build belief for resurrection.

The poisonous‑tooth dinosaur leader spoke at length, eventually circling back to its "old leader" the Corrupt Green Dragon couple.

"That couple also possesses such a Venomous Mother God statue."

"If you wish to challenge that Green Dragon couple, I can guide you."

The Venomfang Tyrannosaurus chieftain endured the pain of its severed limbs and spoke.

It felt that it had roughly guessed the purpose of this inexplicably appearing bone crow: the statue of the Deadly Poison Mother God! Upon hearing this, Chen Mo was stunned.

How much do you wish those two Decayed Green Dragons would die? But of course, the greater possibility is that you want the Snow Divine Crow to go to its death.

Immediately afterward, Chen Mo again asked the Venomfang Tyrannosaurus chieftain for information about this misty forest.

From the Venomfang Tyrannosaurus chieftain, Chen Mo learned the general situation of this area called the 【Deadly Poison Forest】.

Throughout the Deadly Poison Forest, giant trees over 200 meters tall are widespread; the territory is vast, inhabited by numerous poison-aligned beings.

Meanwhile, the ecology here exhibits a distinct vertical structure.

The stronger the lifeform, the more likely it chooses to dwell in the upper layers of the giant trees.

Take the strongest existence in this forest—the nest of the Decayed Green Dragon couple lies at the treetop of the highest poison-arrow tree.

Besides the Decayed Green Dragon couple, the upper reaches of the Deadly Poison Forest are also home to no fewer than ten calamity-level beings.

However, their territories are relatively far from here, so the earlier battle did not draw them in.

In the middle region of the misty forest, many king-level poison-aligned and ice-aligned beings reside.

Meanwhile, the lower ground mist zone and the underground lack any particularly powerful beings.

For instance, the Venomfang Tyrannosaurus clan can already be considered the 'overlord' of the ground.

This is closely related to the distribution of poison spiritual power.

The trees of the Deadly Poison Forest are almost all poison-aligned spiritual plants; the higher up, the more lush their foliage, and the greater the amount of poison spiritual power they release.

"Alright, I understand."

After obtaining the information he wanted, Chen Mo activated the 【Evil-Suppressing】 again.

A mighty power descended, instantly annihilating the Venomfang Tyrannosaurus chieftain.

The Venomfang Tyrannosaurus chieftain passed away peacefully.

It felt not even a hint of pain before completely losing all signs of life.

Even up to the final second before death, it believed the bone crow would spare it.

That, of course, was impossible.

Since this Venomfang Tyrannosaurus chieftain is a retainer of the Decayed Green Dragon, letting it go would likely expose our information.

Chen Mo still needs to help the Snow Divine Crow find its way 'home,' so it's naturally impossible to keep it by his side at all times.

Killing it is the best choice.

"Crow, go check the place where it previously landed."

At this moment, the Little Ice Spider spoke.

"Crow?"

The Snow Divine Crow tilted its head, asking for Chen Mo's opinion.

After all, its boss is Chen Mo.

"Let's go!"

Chen Mo spoke.

Only then did the Snow Divine Crow flap its wings and return once more to the place where the Venomfang Tyrannosaurs made their offerings.

At this moment, the carcasses of those several Venomfang Tyrannosaurs were actually crawling with countless poisonous insects, their bodies nearly melting into a pool of thick liquid.
