Chapter 188: Revival! Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede!

A Suanni illusion of massive size, like a mountain, materialized out of thin air; its whole body was covered in snow‑white, spotless fur, with no hint of color, and its golden lion eyes glimmered faintly. On its head sprouted a sharp horn engraved with intricate inscriptions, radiating a jade‑like luster.

Divine, majestic, noble, powerful! The legendary auspicious beast Suanni!

At this moment, the illusion Chen Mo released was almost identical to the ancient Suanni he had glimpsed earlier through blood‑line tracing.

After the Suanni illusion appeared, other beings all sensed a soul‑shaking oppressive pressure, a pressure that only beings far superior in life level can feel! The Poisonous Frog King even felt somewhat unable to breathe.

An invisible gravity severely hampered its movement! "Is this Ice Lion really that strong?"

The Poisonous Frog King was immensely confused inside.

Everyone's transcendence rank is clearly Peak of the Catastrophe Realm, so why is there such a marked disparity? Upon seeing the Suanni illusion, the Huangquan Fruit Tree also realized that the Ice Lion before it was not a toy it could trample at will.

Vines fluttered, and powerful poison energy surged within its arboreal body.

It was getting serious! "Damned lion! I will condense your flesh and blood into the most delicious fruit, I will imprison your soul in a sea of blood, making you suffer torment for eternity!"

The Huangquan Fruit Tree emitted a hoarse, dry, eerie sound, just like its husk.

At this moment, the Huangquan Fruit Tree was enraged to the extreme.

It began to unleash its domain without reservation, strange mist that was red to the point of black spewing from the branches of the Huangquan Fruit Tree, spreading outward at a staggering speed.

Simultaneously, an unprecedented oppressive pressure spread outward.

This is the legendary domain unique to Legendary Realm beings—the Blood Mist Domain.

Of course, in reality it is just an upgraded version of the domain.

This red mist is actually an extremely potent toxin.

All beings within the domain will be corroded by the blood mist, melting into a pool of blood.

This poison can easily corrode any living being below the Legendary Realm.

Theoretically, as long as the Huangquan Fruit Tree releases its domain, it can kill thousands of Peak of the Catastrophe Realm beings without injury.

"Ant, even if you are a descendant of myth, die for me!"

The hoarse voice, laced with anger, sounded again.

The Blood Mist Domain swept across the surroundings like a blanket.

The Blood Mist Domain first spread to the front of the Suanni illusion, but oddly—

Within several hundred meters around the Suanni illusion, the red mist strangely receded.

Under the empowerment of Suppress Evil and Cease War.

The domain Chen Mo released not only could contend with the Legendary Domain released by the Huangquan Fruit Tree, but even showed a faint advantage!

However, the blood mist spread extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye it bypassed the Suanni illusion and headed straight for Chen Mo's true form.

Like all other beings that have fought Chen Mo, the Huangquan Fruit Tree sensed that once the Ice Lion activated its illusion state, its weakness was its true form.

Yet the blood mist surrounding the Ice Lion had no effect whatsoever!

Chen Mo now wields the Deadly Poison Lion, granting immunity to any Legendary‑level or lower toxins.

This blood mist is essentially a poison as well, so it naturally had no impact on Chen Mo.

Chen Mo's true self summoned spiritual power, wielding nine poisonous flying swords that became streaks of light darting toward the Huangquan Fruit Tree.

The blood mist spread.

The Catastrophe Beasts that Chen Mo had previously rescued, upon seeing this, burst into their fastest speed, trying either to flee the valley or to approach the vicinity of the Suanni illusion.

But ultimately they were still half a beat too slow.

On one hand, the blood mist spread too quickly; on the other, they had previously had a massive amount of life force and essence drained by the Huangquan Fruit Tree, leaving them extremely weakened now.

And once the blood mist caught up, these Catastrophe Beasts, without exception, melted as quickly as heated candy, turning into a pool of blood.

Seeing this, the Poison Algae Crocodile Prince also chose to "commit suicide" without hesitation; before doing so, it cast a complicated glance at the Suanni illusion battling the Huangquan Fruit Tree not far away.

Immediately, the poisonous core energy within it erupted, creating a massive toxic blast.

Simultaneously with its suicide, deep in a distant lake, a gigantic crocodile over a hundred meters long with hard scales opened its eerie green eyes.

It was the duplicate the Poison Algae Crocodile Prince had prepared for itself.

This duplicate's strength was only at the Catastrophe Realm level, but at least it survived.

At first, the Poison Algae Crocodile Prince's gaze was somewhat dazed, but after assimilating the memories transmitted from its true soul, it displayed an expression of utter astonishment.

This secret realm expedition turned out to be a massive trap!

The Huangquan Fruit Tree turned out to be a living being, and it even possessed Legendary Realm power! What the Poison Algae Crocodile didn't expect was that among their party appeared an Ice Lion capable of battling a Legendary Realm tree demon at just the Catastrophe Realm level—utterly absurd! "I have no idea how things stand now; I must quickly tell my father this news!"

The Poison Algae Crocodile Prince cast a downstream spell, swiftly traversing the deep lake toward the Crocodile King's Palace.

It needed to get its father to act quickly! It didn't know whether it could rescue that Ice Lion! That Ice Lion was its lifesaving benefactor; without the Ice Lion's intervention, it might not even have a chance to be revived!

With the Ice Lion's strength, if it fled immediately, while the Huangquan Fruit Tree had not yet unleashed its full power, there was a great chance it could escape the living heavens.

But the Ice Lion ultimately chose to fight.

The Poison Algae Crocodile Prince was still deeply grateful to the Ice Lion.

If possible, it hopes the Ice Lion can survive, and it would be even better if it could join the Crocodile King's domain! ————

After the blood‑colored waterfall, the blood mist had completely spread throughout the entire valley.

Even the Poisonous Frog King could not escape; in the blink of an eye it was engulfed by the blood mist.

Earlier, the Poisonous Frog King had fled halfway, but after discovering that Lord Huangquan had revived, it cheerfully ran back, eager to witness the entire scene of the Huangquan Fruit Tree slaughtering the Ice Lion.

As in novels and anime, bosses often have multiple forms.

The Ice Lion had previously destroyed only Lord Huangquan's weakest form.

Now that Lord Huangquan is serious, defeating this Ice Lion is just a matter of minutes.

The Poisonous Frog King itself is a Peak of the Catastrophe Realm being, yet it cannot even withstand a single move from the Three‑Eyed Poison Scorpion.

It knows there is a huge gap between Legendary Realm beings and Catastrophe Realm beings.

In the end, it didn't expect that "eating melon" would come back onto its own head.

At the very first moment the blood mist spread, it didn't even try to flee; only when a sudden premonition of death rose in its heart did it begin a frantic escape, and of course it was already too late.

In less than two seconds, the giant frog ten meters tall turned into a pool of blood.

The toxicity of the blood mist poison has already far exceeded the limit that disaster‑realm beings can endure!

This disaster giant beast that led Chen Mo and the other disaster giant beasts here was a helper of the Yellow Spring Mother Tree. In the end it didn't die at the hands of the Ice Lion, but instead died by its own beast, which is obviously somewhat laughable.

For the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree, it naturally doesn't care whether the deadly poison frog king lives or dies, nor whether its attacks might accidentally harm allies.

A disaster‑level giant beast, once dead, is just dead, and can serve as nourishment.

Now it has only one thought, which is—

Kill the Ice Lion before it!

A mere disaster‑realm being dares to challenge me!

The blood mist spreads at an extremely fast speed.

While turning all the surrounding disaster giant beasts into a pool of blood, Chen Mo's mind‑controlled Suanni Formation Image has already engaged in a fierce battle with the main body of the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree!

The Suanni Formation Image's size is even a circle larger than the main body of the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree.

Facing the formation's attack, the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree originally thought that simply releasing its blood mist domain would turn the Ice Lion before it directly into blood.

To its great surprise, its blood mist domain had absolutely no effect!

Even its own blood poison was useless!

Seizing the gap, the Suanni Formation Image appeared before the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree, and its massive claw burning with ghost fire struck the tree with lightning speed.

The lion claw pierced straight through the tree's trunk; silver soul fire flared quickly, burning the red sap flowing out to nothing.

While scorching the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree's life force, it also prevents the tree from recovering.

The Yellow Spring Fruit Tree reacted, immediately swinging its branches to counterattack.

Countless sturdy branches, like tentacles, lashed at the Suanni Formation Image in a storm of wind and rain.

The Suanni Formation Image employed the Suanni combat method, circling and darting around the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree within the relatively narrow valley, pushing its speed and agility to the limit.

It's hard to imagine a massive lion nearly 2,000 m long can burst forth at dozens of times the speed of sound, making its silhouette impossible to track! The Yellow Spring Fruit Tree's branches keep swinging, each strike generating a rumble like an earthquake.

Yet not a single one lands!

Thousands upon thousands of branch‑tentacles, as if they had lost a target, are always a half beat too slow.

Meanwhile, the Suanni Formation Image, while dodging, continuously attacks the main trunk of the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree with ghost claws.

It also casually smashes those branches protruding from the ground, and ghost fire again spreads along the branches toward the tree's main body.

After Chen Mo activated the formation, his strength, constitution, and other aspects all reached the level of a legendary‑realm being.

In terms of agility, he completely crushed the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree!

At the same time, Chen Mo multitasked; his main body wielded nine deadly poison flying swords, repeatedly slashing the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree.

Because of the Sharp attribute, the sturdy branches are like paper before these swords, constantly being cut off or piercing the massive trunk.

Unfortunately, the deadly poison carried by the flying swords didn't have much effect on the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree.

After repeatedly failing to hit, the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree grew increasingly irritable.

The Ice Lion before it is like a mosquito that cannot be swatted, and this mosquito keeps gnawing at its own life source.

It keeps emitting angry roars, yet they seem like impotent fury.

Worse still, the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree realized it was completely suppressed.

Five minutes later.

Under the relentless assault of ghost claws and deadly poison flying swords, the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree has become extremely withered.

Its whole body is bare, all branches seem to have been repaired, even appearing somewhat laughable.

The main trunk is riddled with countless wounds.

During this time, the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree employed various spells and abilities, even a simplified version of a totem‑level spell derived from the fragmented memory of the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede! Yet none worked! Its greatest ability is poisoning; all kinds of toxins would even heavily affect legendary beings, but this absurd Ice Lion in front is completely immune!

It's not a matter of high toxin resistance; it's total immunity!

The ability it once boasted about produced no effect, driving the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree into utter frenzy.

And the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree knows that if this continues, it will eventually be worn out by the Ice Lion.

In the end, it sighed, as if having made some decision.

The Yellow Spring Fruit Tree let out a roar toward Chen Mo—

"You are courting death!"

As soon as the words fell, Chen Mo felt a chilling sensation rise in his heart.

A premonition of danger!

It heralded a great terror descending! In the next instant, a crimson translucent flame suddenly ignited on the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree.

Immediately, the massive tree split open in the middle, dividing in two, and from the fissure emerged a colossal beast.

The beast's appearance resembled a gigantic centipede.

Its body is composed of countless armored segments, each emitting a dim glow, with pairs of fleshy wings beside the shells, exuding an ominous aura.

It is almost identical to the deadly mother‑deity statue once served by the venomous‑fang terror leader! Yet this beast before us is even larger and more bizarre!

"It is the remnant soul of the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede!"

Little Ice Spider couldn't help exclaiming, "Suanni, run! You are definitely no match for this guy."

The Yellow Spring Fruit Tree realized that if it delayed further it would be killed by Chen Mo, so it could only prematurely awaken the dormant remnant soul of the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede!

After fully awakening the hidden remnant soul within, its consciousness will be completely replaced by it, which explains why it had previously hesitated to awaken the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede's remnant soul! "I didn't expect this Yellow Spring Fruit Tree to be the vessel for the centipede's arrival; now you've forced its revival, which is a happy accident."

Little Ice Spider's tone was excited, with a hint of thrill.

The Yellow Spring Fruit Tree is not only formed from a fragment of the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede's remnant soul, but also serves as the 'container' prepared by the centipede for its own resurrection! However, the centipede has revived early, its condition is very poor, and it has lost potential, making further advancement difficult.

As long as Chen Mo can escape the secret realm this time and then completely seal off this Yellow Spring secret realm.

Then the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede will most likely be trapped to death in the secret realm, and its growth speed will be extremely slow!

Then, its recovery of strength will take a long time.

By that time, Chen Mo will very likely have grown into an extremely powerful existence, and moreover, he will most likely have already revived the Ancient Ice Phoenix!
