Chapter 187: Legendary Battle!

Upon hearing, a dozen or so catastrophic giant beasts moved together and launched an attack.

Poison Algae Crocodile Prince felt a slight hesitation, but didn't linger and charged toward the Yellow Spring Fruit.

Although it vaguely sensed a "conspiracy", the Yellow Spring Fruit was indeed real.

The Crimson Blood Jiao before it was powerful, but it could not threaten him!

There seemed to be nothing here that could threaten him!

While the Venomous Frog King detained the Crimson Blood Jiao, it could freely harvest the fruit from the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree!

Whoosh! Almost all the catastrophic giant beasts sprang into action.

If they were slow, the Yellow Spring Fruit would be completely harvested by other giant beasts, which would be bad! Many of the beasts shared the Crocodile Prince's intention, refraining from attacking the Crimson Blood Jiao and aiming straight for the fruit.

Boom! Boom! Yet just when they were a hundred meters from the fruit, they simultaneously felt a dizzy sensation.

Heaven spun, earth turned; the whole world seemed to shake violently!

"I'm… poisoned!"

Poison Algae Crocodile Prince reacted instantly, then summoned spiritual energy; the purple algae on his body emitted a faint glow.

The algae covering his whole body not only harbored deadly toxin but also possessed purifying, antidotal properties.

However, what terrified the Prince was that the antidote had little effect! He still felt a heavy‑headed dizziness, and his body began to go numb.

His body and the spiritual energy within were shackled by some strange force! "How is this possible?!"

Poison Algae Crocodile Prince was utterly stunned.

Ordinary toxins could not affect him at all!

Unless this silent, odorless lethal toxin was of Legendary-level or higher! The Prince looked around; every catastrophic giant beast near the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree showed similar symptoms.

Some even lost consciousness outright, falling into the Blood Lake.

Including all the Poison Algae Crocodile clan sent by his father to protect him!

Only two beasts were exceptions.

The Venomous Frog King and the Flat‑Mouthed Giant‑Toothed Bat! Before he could think further, the next second the Prince felt a strong sense of impending danger.

He saw countless thick branches of the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree nearby begin to writhe, like centipedes crawling through the air!

The Yellow Spring Fruit Tree came to life!

And one of its branches slithered toward him!

The real danger was not the Crimson Blood Jiao, but the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree itself!

At the moment it launched its attack, the tree no longer concealed its aura; a powerful aura of the Legendary Realm spread outward!

It was a Legendary Realm beast.

Seeing the incoming branch, the Prince tried to dodge, but his whole body felt numb and he had not a iota of strength.

He could only watch helplessly as the branch drew nearer and nearer. The branch, twisted like a vine, split into twig‑like offshoots that pierced his hard scales and entered his body.

Intense pain erupted throughout his body.

Immediately, his body began to shrivel at a visible speed, and more horrifyingly, blood‑red filamentous branches sprouted from his scales, covering him like silkworm cocoons, as if trying to wrap him into a "cocoon"! At a glance, they resembled the huge fruits hanging from the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree.

"Could it be that all the fruits on that tree came from this?"

Seeing this, Chen Mo couldn't help but feel alarmed.

No wonder catastrophic beings outside are nearly extinct; they were likely devoured by the very Yellow Spring Fruit Tree before him!

Poison Algae Crocodile Prince was already one of the strongest among these giant beasts, yet even he was helplessly seized by the tree, so the others stood no chance.

Just a single encounter.

All catastrophic beings near the tree were bound by its branches, which then retracted claw‑like, like a chaotic demon dance.

At the same time, the aura emanating from the tree began to rise rapidly.

"Roar!" (Venomous Frog King, how dare you!?) The transforming Prince, now beginning to cocoon, did not die instantly; he let out an angry roar.

At this moment, he realized the Venomous Frog King had deliberately lured them here to feed them all to the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree.

"Ribbit!!" (I didn't deceive you; I just forgot to tell you that Lord Huangquan is not a corpse but a powerful existence of the Legendary Realm.) Faced with the Prince's curse, the Venomous Frog King not only stayed calm but flashed a brilliant smile.

After enduring so long, the moment of the victor's MVP tally finally arrived! "Ribbit!" (Once you are sacrificed, Lord Huangquan's power will ascend to Legendary Mid‑tier. Moreover, Lord Huangquan promised the Three‑Eyed Lord that, after enough high‑rank toxic catastrophic beings are offered, he will grant the Three‑Eyed Lord the Mother God's essence blood upon promotion.) "Ribbit!" (Then the Three‑Eyed Lord can also use this as a chance to break into Legendary Mid‑tier!)

The Venomous Frog King showed a faintly cold smile.

"Ribbit?" (Your father is only a Legendary Mid‑tier being; do you think he can strike both Legendary Mid‑tier opponents at once?)

"Roar!"

Poison Algae Crocodile Prince let out an angry roar, yet his heart remained fairly calm.

He kept a contingency.

If his body dies, the duplicate and a portion of his soul residing in the Crocodile King's domain can revive successfully.

Moreover, the two share consciousness and can instantly know the situation here.

Then he can call upon his father to act directly.

Slay the Three‑Eyed Poison Scorpion and this bizarre Yellow Spring Fruit Tree! "By the way, since you're about to die, I might as well tell you that your resurrection plan is most likely doomed."

The Venomous Frog King said cheerfully.

Upon hearing that.

Poison Algae Crocodile Prince instantly lost his composure.

He hadn't expected the Venomous Frog King to know his resurrection scheme, even having a targeted counter‑plan, and that there was a "traitor" within his clan! "Lord Huangquan is a fragment of the Venomous Mother God's thought, wielding power beyond your imagination; once it devours a soul, it can traverse the void and completely consume all of the target's lingering souls!"

"To be precise, it becomes part of Lord Huangquan's body."

At this moment, Poison Algae Crocodile Prince felt utter despair.

Now he was fully bound, and his contingency had already been anticipated.

The Legendary Realm and the Catastrophe Realm differ as if separated by a heavenly chasm; it is a disparity of life's tiers.

The higher the Transcendent rank, the larger the gap between each minor realm.

They could never escape from the grasp of this Huangquan Ancient Tree!

Then the only hope now is the Ice Lion!

If this Ice Lion can escape successfully and report the situation here to its father king, I might still have a chance to survive.

Even if the chance of survival is slim, my father king can still avenge me!

Poison Algae Crocodile Prince used his last ounce of strength, looked toward the exit, and found that the Ice Lion, which had not approached before, now stood frozen in place as if terrified.

"Run! Run quickly! Take the news here to my father king!"

The Poison Algae Crocodile Prince telepathically told Chen Mo.

At this moment, the Venomous Frog King's gaze also fell on Chen Mo.

"Ribbit!" (Right, I almost forgot about you.) Seeing the Suanni not far away, the Venomous Frog King croaked, a flash of cruelty in its eyes.

It now harbors bone‑deep hatred toward Chen Mo.

"Ribbit!" (Don't think that because you haven't approached, Master Huangquan can't deal with you. Master Huangquan's power exceeds your imagination.) the Venomous Frog King shouted.

Chen Mo was too lazy to bother responding. Just a leaping clown.

At this moment, the spells he had pre‑stored were about to finish! "Ribbit!" (Master Huangquan, there are three more offerings over there.) the Venomous Frog King respectfully said to the Huangquan Fruit Tree:

"Ribbit!" (But one of the offerings is very powerful and requires Master Huangquan to act personally!)

The Huangquan Fruit Tree had actually noticed Chen Mo's presence long ago, but the Ice Lion is not a poison‑type creature, so it offers little help, and thus did not act immediately.

However, the Jade King Snake beside the Ice Lion looked very "delicious".

Then just eat these snacks as well!

The Huangquan Fruit Tree thought to itself.

Swoosh! Over a dozen branches coiled and stretched, like withered vines or giant serpents, rushing toward Chen Mo and the Jade King Snake.

"Now's the perfect time!"

At this moment, the spells Chen Mo had set up earlier were all completed and released in an instant.

First, a ghostly giant dragon wreathed in silver flame suddenly materialized in the sky, let out a roar, and swooped toward the branches extending from the Huangquan Fruit Tree.

【Necrotic Dragon Flame】

A calamity‑level spell of the undead school, a skill Chen Mo mastered after advancing to the Calamity Realm.

Because the Huangquan Fruit Tree, though a poison‑type being, is fundamentally a tree and fears fire.

Chen Mo tried to scorch it with necrotic fire; Necrotic Dragon Flame condenses necrotic fire into the shape of a necrotic dragon, containing fierce flame power.

Boom! The moment the necrotic dragon collided with the massive branch, a violent explosion rang out.

Like the most dazzling silver fireworks.

A layer of silver flame wrapped the Huangquan Fruit Tree's branches, which quickly withered.

The branches of the Huangquan Fruit Tree are actually extremely sturdy, but necrotic fire was raging, draining its life.

Immediately, the silver blaze spread rapidly along the branches.

Before the Huangquan Fruit Tree could react, the fire had already reached its core! Just as it tried to defend, Chen Mo's other spells arrived in succession.

Thousands of hundred‑meter‑long massive ice pillars coalesced in midair, then fell like meteors onto the Huangquan Fruit Tree.

Heavenly Ice Fall! Each ice pillar resembled an iceberg, bearing massive energy, and cleaved countless branches of the Huangquan Fruit Tree.

Including the branches that had previously entangled other calamity beings.

Beings with strong vitality, such as the Poison Algae Crocodile Prince, seized the chance to escape.

The Poison Algae Crocodile Prince was somewhat incredulous.

It knew the Ice Lion was strong, but didn't expect it to be this powerful.

The Huangquan Fruit Tree, already in the Hard‑Steel Legendary Realm!

A true cross‑level battle! Even mythic offspring could not achieve it.

Moreover, just the courage to face a legend made the Poison Algae Crocodile Prince feel somewhat inferior.

After escaping, the Poison Algae Crocodile Prince prepared to "commit suicide", so that its prepared "clone" could revive instantly.

Then it could directly bring its father king over.

But after thinking, the Poison Algae Crocodile Prince decided to wait a bit longer.

He will kill himself after the Ice Lion is completely defeated.

Now the Huangquan Fruit Tree's attention should be fully on that Ice Lion, so there will be time for him to commit suicide.

Bang! Bang! Amid the alternating ice‑burst sounds, the ice pillars' inherent ice‑origin spirit power erupted, instantly freezing the Huangquan Fruit Tree.

It condensed into an ice‑crystal tree.

Meanwhile, the necrotic fire kept blazing, because it is not ordinary flame and is unaffected by ice crystals or water.

The massive Huangquan Fruit Tree was being burned on one side and frozen on the other.

True ice‑fire dual heavens!

The Huangquan Fruit Tree was utterly enraged.

Originally, after devouring these calamity beasts and acquiring their poison‑origin, it could advance to the mid‑stage of the Legendary Realm.

But all this was disrupted by the troublesome Ice Lion before it.

The Huangquan Fruit Tree mobilized its internal poison‑origin spirit power, intending to release a blood rain to extinguish the flames.

During the flow of spiritual energy, the Huangquan Fruit Tree felt a strange sluggishness.

Exorcise Evil!

Cease Hostilities!

Chen Mo's two major domains were fully opened; having pre‑drawn the spirit‑power runes, they all activated instantly.

Because the Huangquan Fruit Tree is truly an evil entity, although it was one rank higher than Chen Mo, it was still suppressed by 【Evil Suppression】.

The effect of the released 【Evil Suppression】 was outstanding!

When the entire tree body was completely destroyed, the Huangquan Fruit Tree finally released besides the red poisonous rain.

The blood rain drifted down, and a violent rain like a flood fell from the sky, finally extinguishing the flames and the frost.

The entire valley turned into a vast red sea.

However, the Huangquan Fruit Tree's entire trunk had been destroyed, and its fruits fell to the ground.

These fruits' shells were extremely hard, and when Chen Mo attacked, he intentionally split open the Huangquan tree fruits, allowing these fruits to remain intact.

"Did we win?"

The Toxic Algae Crocodile Prince watching from the side was inwardly shocked beyond measure.

A Heavenly Calamity Realm versus a Legendary Realm, and it was instantly defeated?

Although that ice lion had made many preparations beforehand, it was still too exaggerated.

The Deadly Poison Frog King was also completely dumbfounded, and without hesitation turned around preparing to flee.

However, the next second——

The trunk of the Huangquan Fruit Tree, which had originally been completely destroyed, suddenly surged forth countless blood-colored branches like tentacles, and these blood-colored branches grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, the Huangquan Fruit Tree had already returned to its original state.

It was as if it had been fully healed and revived! As a being of the Legendary Realm, and moreover the true form of the Huangquan Fruit Tree is a tree form renowned for its vigorous vitality, the Huangquan Fruit Tree naturally would not die so easily.

Of course, the Huangquan Fruit Tree also paid a certain price.

It consumed a great deal of life origin and poison-system origin energy; such a revival cannot be performed many times.

Chen Mo was not surprised by this either.

How could a Legendary Realm being be so easy to kill?

While the Huangquan Fruit Tree was reviving, he had already unfolded his own Dharma Appearance.

Compared to spells, close-quarters combat face-to-face after activating his Dharma Appearance is his advantage! Now——

The second round begins! (End of chapter)
