Chapter 191: Slaying the Three-Eyed Toxic Scorpion!

The Toxic Algae Crocodile King's action wasn't entirely to save Chen Mo, nor was it "strike the evil god, beasts have responsibility."

But once the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree and the Three-Eyed Toxic Scorpion complete their plot, it will seriously threaten the Crocodile King's Territory as well as its own safety and interests.

So the Toxic Algae Crocodile King appeared here immediately.

"Huh?!" (Toxic Algae Crocodile King, what are you doing here?)

Seeing the Toxic Algae Crocodile King's menacing approach, the Three-Eyed Toxic Scorpion's heart sank.

Could it be that their plan failed, and the Toxic Algae Crocodile King had already seen through their plans in advance?

The Three-Eyed Toxic Scorpion knew the Toxic Algae Crocodile Prince had a means similar to resurrection, and had instructed the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree to completely devour the Toxic Algae Crocodile Prince's soul as well.

"This guy probably didn't take my words to heart at all."

The Three-Eyed Toxic Scorpion silently cursed.

The Yellow Spring Fruit Tree possesses Legendary Realm strength; within the secret realm, it is an absolute ruler.

Moreover, the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree harbors the Toxic Poison Mother Goddess, which is a fragment of the Heavenly Dragon Toxic Centipede's soul, and it commands many means that only mythic beings possess.

Although they are in a cooperative relationship, the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree's authority and status are far higher than that of the Three-Eyed Toxic Scorpion.

Regarding the Three-Eyed Toxic Scorpion's inquiry, the Toxic Algae Crocodile King completely ignored it.

Deep green spirit patterns flashed on the giant crocodile's scales, and then a stream of seemingly corrosive-all poisonous breath spewed from its mouth.

Toxic poison breath.

The toxic poison breath surged like deep-green molten lava, swiftly rushing toward the Three-Eyed Toxic Scorpion.

Seeing this, the Three-Eyed Toxic Scorpion likewise spat out a stream of purple toxic poison breath from its mouth.

The two streams of toxic poison breath collided in midair, triggering a violent explosive roar!

The Three-Eyed Toxic Scorpion's toxic poison breath was obviously inferior, clearly suppressed by the deep-green toxic poison breath.

However, just before the Toxic Algae Crocodile King's toxic poison breath was about to bombard it, its form suddenly vanished, and it managed to dodge.

Although the Three-Eyed Toxic Scorpion's Transcendent Tier is only Legendary Low Tier, one minor realm below the Toxic Algae Crocodile King.

But this is the Toxic Poison Territory; the ley line energy greatly amplifies the Three-Eyed Toxic Scorpion's combat power.

After the toxic poison breath bombardment, the Toxic Algae Crocodile King closed the distance and began engaging the Three-Eyed Toxic Scorpion in close combat.

Relying on its extraordinarily hard scales and powerful regenerative ability, close-quarters combat is its forte.

Once it gets close, the prey faces an unending barrage of attacks.

Seeing the Toxic Algae Crocodile King's "fight to the death" posture, the Three-Eyed Toxic Scorpion could only respond passively.

The Three-Eyed Toxic Scorpion's three scarlet eyes simultaneously emitted an eerie red light.

【Micro Vision】

Legendary-tier technique; when released, it greatly enhances one's neural reaction speed.

In the Three-Eyed Toxic Scorpion's eyes, the opponent's movements, actions, attack trajectories, etc., are slowed by hundreds of times! However, as a Legendary Mid Tier being, the Toxic Algae Crocodile King also possesses mythic bloodline; regardless of Transcendent Tier, strength, speed, or technique level, it completely overwhelms the Three-Eyed Toxic Scorpion.

This cannot be made up for by a single technique.

Mire surged, sand flew, and a vast area around the secret realm was swept up by terrifying power; the surviving creatures there panicked and fled into the distance.

10 minutes later.

The Three-Eyed Toxic Scorpion was covered in wounds, its tail broken halfway.

Black scales were covered in cracks.

More importantly——

The red vertical pupil on its forehead was now a bloody mess, obviously having been gouged out by the Toxic Algae Crocodile King.

Given the gap in Transcendent Tier, the Three-Eyed Toxic Scorpion is ultimately no match for the Toxic Algae Crocodile King.

If this continues, I will die!

"Toxic Algae Crocodile King, do you really have to kill me?"

The Three-Eyed Toxic Scorpion let out an angry roar.

In response, the Toxic Algae Crocodile King's attacks grew even more fierce.

"If that's the case, then I won't hold back."

The Three-Eyed Toxic Scorpion spat out a statue of the Heavenly Dragon Toxic Centipede from its mouth.

This statue is larger and more lifelike than the Corrupt Dragon Mother's statue.

The Three-Eyed Toxic Scorpion's growth to its current level, and its contact with the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree, naturally came through this statue of the Heavenly Dragon Toxic Centipede.

"Great Toxic Poison Mother Goddess, please grant me power; I am willing to offer you all my wealth."

The Three-Eyed Toxic Scorpion prayed to the Heavenly Dragon Toxic Centipede, while also spitting out multiple cataclysmic-tier treasures and a stalk of legendary-tier divine medicine from its mouth.

However, the next second——

Yet the Three-Eyed Toxic Scorpion discovered that the statue of the Toxic Poison Mother Goddess gave no response, as if it hadn't heard its prayer at all.

"Mother Goddess, I pray for your aid; I am willing to offer you everything—my wealth, my flesh, my soul, and my will!"

The Three-Eyed Toxic Scorpion thought its offered "sacrifice" was insufficient, so it increased the stake of the sacrifice.

At this critical moment of life and death, the Three-Eyed Toxic Scorpion could no longer worry about so much.

If it makes the sacrifice, it might not necessarily die.

But if it does not make the sacrifice, it will die imminently!

Yet the statue of the Toxic Poison Mother Goddess remained utterly still! At this moment, the Toxic Algae Crocodile King's attack surged forward again.

Regarding the Toxic Poison Mother Goddess statue, it also had some understanding.

Should the Three-Eyed Toxic Scorpion succeed in its sacrifice and gain great power, that would be unfavorable.

We must settle this quickly!

The Toxic Algae Crocodile King's massive tail slammed down from above the Three-Eyed Toxic Scorpion's head, its tremendous force directly blasting it several kilometers away.

Under the impact of the massive tail, the Three‑Eyed Poison Scorpion found that the statue of the Deadly Poison Mother God in front of it had shattered.

A huge crack appeared atop the Heaven Dragon Poison Centipede statue, then quickly spread outward, and in the blink of an eye it was completely broken! "How could this be!?"

One must know that the statue of the Deadly Poison Mother God contains a portion of the Mother God's divine power, making it incredibly hard.

Not to mention a collision of this magnitude; even a full‑force strike from a peak creature of the Legendary Realm could not destroy it! There is only one reason for this situation.

It is that the Deadly Poison Mother God is "dead", or its will is completely dormant, falling into extreme weakness, unable even to respond to its followers or sustain the statue's power!

This scene filled the Three‑Eyed Poison Scorpion's heart with endless terror.

The Deadly Poison Mother God has actually fallen? The Three‑Eyed Poison Scorpion knows that the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree harbors the Mother God's lingering soul, so within the Yellow Spring Secret Realm, the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree is an invincible existence!

But now the statue is shattered, meaning the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree must have been completely dead! What exactly happened inside the Yellow Spring Secret Realm!?

Not only did the Poison Algae Crocodile King come crashing in, even the Deadly Poison Mother God has fallen!

In the moment the Three‑Eyed Poison Scorpion was stunned, the Poison Algae Crocodile King seized the chance, a blast of deadly poison breath directly striking the Scorpion's other two eyes.

Poison‑type primordial spiritual power erupted, and in an instant the remaining two eyes of the Three‑Eyed Poison Scorpion were also poisoned blind.

The three eyes are essentially the Three‑Eyed Poison Scorpion's main offensive means; now all are crippled, it has clearly lost the right to continue fighting the Poison Algae Crocodile King. The Crocodile King began mobilizing its internal poison‑type primordial spiritual power, gathering strength, preparing a lethal strike.

At that moment, a ripple suddenly emanated from the nearby secret realm entrance.

Within the swamp vortex, a being seemed about to emerge! Upon seeing this,

The Three‑Eyed Poison Scorpion, already in despair, felt a sudden joy and saw hope to survive.

What emerged should be the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree.

It should have digested the second batch of offerings and successfully advanced to the middle tier of the Legendary Realm.

Now its emergence should be a promise kept to itself, helping it also complete the advancement!

The Poison Algae Crocodile King felt a chill in its heart; facing the Heaven Dragon Poison Centipede, a mythic creature that has lived for endless ages, it also sensed tremendous pressure.

Now, even if it kills the Three‑Eyed Poison Scorpion and duels the Heaven Dragon Poison Centipede alone, it has little chance of winning.

Then it should quickly kill the Three‑Eyed Poison Scorpion and retreat immediately!

Countless spirit sigils on the Crocodile King's scaled armor glimmered, clearly preparing to unleash a powerful spell.

"Mother God, save me!"

Sensing a crisis that could almost suffocate it, the Three‑Eyed Poison Scorpion shouted loudly.

But the next second,

both the Three‑Eyed Poison Scorpion and the Poison Algae Crocodile King were stunned.

Because what emerged from the secret realm was not the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree.

It was a massive ice lion with snow‑white fur, perfect physique, and golden eyes.

The Three‑Eyed Poison Scorpion had a faint recollection of this ice lion.

It seemed to be a kin of the Emerald King Snake, the ruler of the Mist Forest under its command! But why is this ice lion now walking out of the secret realm alive?

What about the Poison Frog King and the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree? The Three‑Eyed Poison Scorpion's eyes were full of confusion, and then an incredibly dazzling deep‑green light surged forward.

It was the Poison Algae Crocodile King's charged strike.

The poison‑type primordial spiritual power was compressed to the extreme, and the powerful deadly poison breath even warped the surrounding void! This strike reached the level of a full‑force blow from a high‑tier deity of a normal Legendary Realm, utterly beyond what the Three‑Eyed Poison Scorpion could withstand.

Boom! The turquoise pillar of light slowly faded, leaving only a huge deep pit where the Three‑Eyed Poison Scorpion had stood, along with its fully ripened corpse.

The true horror of this deadly poison breath was not its destructive force, but the toxin within that burns souls.

After the impact, the Three‑Eyed Poison Scorpion's soul was directly incinerated to nothing!

Seeing this, Chen Mo, who had just emerged from the secret realm, was bewildered.

After taking two more Yellow Spring Fruit, Chen Mo found his internal spiritual power had reached its limit and could not increase further.

Moreover, after digesting the Yellow Spring Fruit's nutrients, the effect of 【Gluttonous Lion＋】 had also reached its limit! Through 【Observation Lion】, Chen Mo could see his highest overall combat power had reached an astonishing 6.03 million! This figure already surpasses the Three‑Eyed Poison Scorpion, nearly reaching the limit of the Heavenly Disaster Realm!

With the bonus from 【Deadly Poison Lion】, Chen Mo was full of confidence and immediately left the secret realm, preparing to hunt the Three‑Eyed Poison Scorpion.

But as soon as he exited the secret realm, he saw the Three‑Eyed Poison Scorpion being brutally beaten by the Poison Algae Crocodile King.

Then the Crocodile King unleashed a deadly poison breath that instantly annihilated the Three‑Eyed Poison Scorpion! Seeing this, Chen Mo felt a slight heaviness in his heart.

It's not that he couldn't slay the Three‑Eyed Poison Scorpion himself, but now the Poison Algae Crocodile King adds a huge variable.

Compared with the low‑tier, heavily aged Three‑Eyed Poison Scorpion, the mid‑tier, prime‑aged Poison Algae Crocodile King of the Legendary Realm is clearly far stronger! "Roar!" (Father, it is the ice lion I mentioned, a genius capable of matching the Yellow Spring Fruit of the Legendary Realm in the Heavenly Disaster Realm.) Upon seeing the ice lion's silhouette, the Crocodile King's son felt joy.

It and the ice lion that happily saved its life have not died.

Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, the Crocodile King's son hurriedly informed his father of Chen Mo's identity, fearing trouble if his father and the ice lion were to clash.

The Crocodile King's son remains very clear‑cut in his grudges.

Hearing this, the Poison Algae Crocodile King cast a still extremely wary gaze at Chen Mo.

Because Chen Mo is not restraining his aura, the Crocodile King sensed a strong threat emanating from him!

This threat is even far stronger than that of the already‑dead Three‑Eyed Poison Scorpion! The ice lion before them may no longer be the original ice lion; its soul could be that of the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree, or even the Deadly Poison Mother God!

Otherwise, how could a being from the Heavenly Disaster Realm exert such pressure on it? "Roar?" (Who are you? The Yellow Spring Fruit Tree?)

The Poison Algae Crocodile King probed.

"Suanni, the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree has already been killed by me."

Chen Mo replied calmly, noting that he could feel the Crocodile King's caution and hostility.

However, this hostility seemed directed at the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree, not at him.

Upon hearing that, the Crocodile King suddenly recalled the previously shattered statue of the Deadly Poison Mother God.

The broken statue means the Deadly Poison Mother God has truly fallen.

And all this was done by the ice lion before them?

"I need the Earth‑vein core of the Poison Realm. In exchange, I can trade Yellow Spring Fruit."

Chen Mo got straight to the point.

His main purpose for this trip was naturally to obtain the earth vein core of the Poisonous Territory, and then advance to Legendary.

The Three-Eyed Poison Scorpion has already been slain in advance by the Poison Algae Crocodile King, and Chen Mo can feel a strong earth vein energy on its corpse.

But logically, this is the spoils of the Poison Algae Crocodile King.

If possible, Chen Mo naturally does not want to clash with the powerful being before him.

After confirming the Ice Lion's identity, the Poison Algae Crocodile King no longer showed hostility, and it did not immediately reject or accept Chen Mo's proposed exchange.

It seemed to be weighing the pros and cons.

It had already mastered the earth vein core of the Crocodile King's Territory, and the earth vein core of the Poisonous Territory actually held little value for it.

On the contrary, the Yellow Spring Tree Fruit, as a Legendary-level divine medicine, could raise its supernatural level even higher.

More importantly, since the Ice Lion before him could kill the Poisonous Mother Goddess, its origins were extremely mysterious, and he had no certainty of victory!

After hesitating for a moment, the Poison Algae Crocodile King finally turned its gaze toward the Poison Algae Crocodile Prince.

This time, the Poison Algae Crocodile Prince personally came to seek the Yellow Spring Tree Fruit, actually just to complete his advancement.

"Father, I think we can trade. If it weren't for the Ice Lion this time, I would most likely have died completely."

The Poison Algae Crocodile Prince spoke.

It still felt grateful toward Chen Mo.

Willing to give up this earth vein core.

"Roar!" (Yes!) Seeing this, the Poison Algae Crocodile King nodded slightly at Chen Mo and agreed to this transaction.

Upon hearing that, Chen Mo also let out a sigh of relief.

He then directly threw five Yellow Spring Tree Fruits at the Poison Algae Crocodile King.

After confirming the divine medicine was fine, the Poison Algae Crocodile King prepared to leave with the Poison Algae Crocodile Prince.

"Suanni, if you have the chance, come wander the Crocodile King's Territory!"

The Poison Algae Crocodile Prince wagged its tail at Chen Mo, releasing goodwill.
