Chapter 192: Legendary Realm Ascension

"Alright!"

Chen Mo gave a slight nod.

The Poison Algae Crocodile Prince's recent actions increased Chen Mo's favor toward him considerably.

When I become stronger later, I could take him as my subordinate and help him ascend to the Legendary Realm or even higher.

If the Poison Algae Crocodile Prince learned what Chen Mo was thinking now, he would be quite frantic.

I consider you a friend, and you want to take me as a junior!?

After seeing the Poison Algae Crocodile father and son leave and confirming there was no danger nearby.

Chen Mo went straight to the corpse of the Three-Eyed Poison Scorpion.

Most of the Three-Eyed Poison Scorpion's body had already been taken as loot by the Poison Algae Crocodile King, leaving only a broken tail and a clump of dark green light sphere at the spot.

The tail is a Legendary Realm refining material; it holds little value for the Poison Algae Crocodile King, but Chen Mo can fuse it into his Deadly Poison Flying Sword to increase its hardness and toxicity.

The dark green light sphere is naturally the Earth Vein Core of the Poison Domain, about a meter in diameter, emitting a gentle glow.

Chen Mo glanced at the time.

It was already past 5 p. m.

One of the self‑discipline challenges of the Time‑Space Traveling Lion is to sense spatial power for at least eight hours daily, for ninety consecutive days.

Starting self‑discipline now would be just in time.

But after thinking it over, Chen Mo decided to first refine the Earth Vein Core of the Poison Domain and raise his transcendence level to the Legendary Realm before anything else.

Delay could bring trouble.

Only by fully refining the Earth Vein Core can Chen Mo feel at ease.

As for the Time‑Space Traveling Lion's self‑discipline challenge, completing it a bit slower is no hurry.

"Jade, I'm preparing to enter the secret realm for a retreat; you'll handle the guard here."

Chen Mo instructed the Jade King Snake.

Thanks to the ice healing technique Chen Mo previously released, the Jade King Snake's wounds had mostly healed.

"Understood, Your Majesty."

The Jade King Snake's tone was quite respectful, with a hint of hidden admiration.

The Ice Lion before him had already slain the Underworld Fruit Tree of the Legendary Realm and even the Poison Mother Deity while in the Catastrophe Realm.

Now it intends to absorb the Earth Vein Core of the Poison Domain and ascend to the Legendary Realm!

The Ice Lion was already that strong in the Catastrophe Realm; after ascending to the Legendary Realm, its power would be unimaginable.

Following the Ice Lion, the future is bright! After Chen Mo entered the secret realm, he casually formed a small ice island in the Blood Sea Lake and then began refining the core Earth Vein of the Poison Domain.

This core Earth Vein was not much different from the Earth Vein Spirit Chen Mo refined earlier on the Great Snow Mountain.

Only the energy contained in this core Earth Vein was evidently far greater.

During the refinement, Chen Mo felt as if his soul had left his body, viewing everything in the Poison Domain from a satellite‑like perspective.

Every inch of the Poison Domain exuded threads of milky‑white energy that surged into his body.

Chen Mo was familiar with this energy; it was Earth Vein energy that could be transformed into any basic spiritual power.

As the Earth Vein energy kept flowing in, Chen Mo felt his primordial spiritual power begin to change.

Chen Mo's consciousness returned once more to the ancient wilderness, where among countless cloud‑piercing mountain ranges he saw that towering figure.

The first Suanni of the ancient era.

Chen Mo's ancestor.

Stimulated by the Earth Vein energy, Chen Mo once again activated Bloodline Tracing! Since he now possessed a pure Suanni bloodline, this time he saw only the Suanni, not other lion clans.

"Not bad."

The ancient Suanni gave Chen Mo a gentle smile, seeming pleased to see that in the years to come his bloodline had not weakened and that a Suanni of such pure lineage had emerged!

"Watch closely; this technique is called Illusion Hide, a progression method of the True Spirit Nine Transformations."

The ancient Suanni's profound and majestic voice rumbled in Chen Mo's mind.

Then Chen Mo saw on the ancient Suanni's jade‑like horn a series of radiant golden sigils.

The next second, the ancient Suanni's figure suddenly turned into a Ying Dragon, soaring skyward as its wings flapped.

Immediately after passing through a layer of clouds, the Ying Dragon transformed into a Fire Phoenix.

Qilin, Taowu, and White Tiger forms kept shifting from the ancient Suanni's shape.

Of course, the Illusion Hide technique is not merely about transforming into other ancient divine beasts; it also grants their abilities and divine powers! The White Tiger's lethal strikes, the Qilin's ability to nurture all things, and as the ancient Suanni's form kept changing, Chen Mo's own spirit sigils glowed and his appearance shifted accordingly.

Chen Mo calmed his mind and memorized the flowing paths of those sigils.

The scene before him seemed as if Chen Mo had returned to antiquity, with the ancient Suanni imparting a technique to him.

In fact it was a bloodline inheritance; this technique originates deep within Chen Mo's bloodline and activates once he meets certain conditions.

Just like many Western dragons, numerous abilities, knowledge, and spells are all stored within the bloodline.

If anyone were near Chen Mo, they would see his form constantly shifting.

The one truly releasing the technique is Chen Mo himself!

After the ancient Suanni demonstrated Illusion Hide, Chen Mo had fully mastered the technique, as if he had practiced it millions of times, and it became his innate talent and instinct.

The illusion of transforming into various beings and gaining their abilities is only the 'Illusion' part of Illusion Hide.

Illusion Hide also has a 'Hide' effect.

It completely conceals one's aura, achieving a truly invisible form, and causes all beings that see you to automatically forget the memory of having seen you.

Compared with storing the technique on various media or teaching it directly, the learning efficiency is countless times higher.

That is the strength of bloodline inheritance.

"This technique, called Suanni's Eye, is the true art of lethal strike!"

After demonstrating 【Phantom Concealment】, the Ancient Suanni's "Transmission" did not stop.

As soon as the words fell, a strand of golden light suddenly burst from the golden eye of the Ancient Suanni.

Immediately a dazzling pillar of light descended from the sky, enveloping the whole world in white light.

Thousands of kilometers in radius were within the strike range of this massive light pillar! In the blink of an eye, countless mountains tens of thousands of meters high were flattened, and the terrifying power swept the surroundings.

Seeing this, Chen Mo couldn't help but be stunned.

If this spell's power were released on Blue Star, it seemed it could erase an entire nation, even a whole continent!

This is truly a forbidden‑like power!

Of course, Chen Mo did not know—

When the Ancient Suanni released Suanni's Eye, its body involuntarily opened its eyes as well.

It likewise released Suanni's Eye.

The golden light pillar swept across the entire Blood Sea Lake, instantly evaporating more than half of it! As for the ghost‑face fish inside, they simply suffered an unprovoked disaster, with almost all of them killed instantly! After teaching the 【Suanni's Eye】 spell, the Ancient Suanni's figure gradually faded.

Finally, after giving Chen Mo an approving smile, it vanished completely.

The bloodline trace ended.

During the bloodline trace, Chen Mo subconsciously refined the core of the Venomous Realm's leyline.

Unwittingly, the refinement progress had already reached 50%.

Another twelve hours later.

The white Suanni suddenly opened its eyes, and a pressure as powerful as a mountain flood spread rapidly around Blood Sea Lake.

Just Chen Mo's inadvertent display of pressure stirred gusts of wind, raising towering waves over Blood Sea Lake.

Chen Mo showed a faint happy smile, feeling immensely delighted. The refinement process went very smoothly.

He has now completely refined the core of the Venomous Realm's leyline.

Successfully advanced to the Legendary Realm!

Chen Mo could clearly feel his innate spiritual energy ascend once more, the massive spiritual power flowing inside him like a torrent.

Immediately, this spiritual power began to wash over his limbs and bones, strengthening his flesh as well.

During the strengthening, Chen Mo naturally also noticed the surrounding grim scene.

Realizing it was his unconscious actions during the ascension, he felt speechless.

Chen Mo had originally planned to turn Blood Sea Lake into a fish‑farming base!

He didn't know if any ghost‑face fish had survived.

After the strengthening fully completed, Chen Mo's body swelled to 30 meters long, with a perfectly proportioned form.

Of course, for Chen Mo who mastered 【Phantom Concealment】, size mattered little.

Now, if he wishes, he can even transform into a colossal being over a kilometer long.

Moreover, it's not a phantom—this body, formed from condensed spiritual energy, is truly a flesh body a kilometer long! This is the perverse aspect of 【Phantom Concealment】.

Perfectly shapeshifting into other living forms.

Chen Mo glanced at his attribute panel—

【Suanni (Male)】

【Level: Low‑grade Legendary】

【Constitution: 6.25w】

【Agility: 6.82w】

【Strength: 6.65w】

【Spirit: 8.52w】

【Skills: Phantom Concealment, Suanni's Eye, Law of Heaven and Earth, Absolute Zero, Suanni Battle Method, True Spirit Nine Transformations, Demon Suppression, Cease Hostilities.】

【Overall Combat Power: 892w~1002w】

His highest overall combat power has already surpassed the ten‑million mark.

To know, the previous Tianlong Venom's peak combat power was only six million! The Poison Algae Crocodile King's peak was just over seven million!

This means Chen Mo can now stand as a high‑tier existence of the Legendary Realm, which is simply unimaginable for beings just crossing the legendary threshold.

Next, Chen Mo glanced again at his self‑discipline panel.

After advancing to the Legendary Realm, many entries popped up on the self‑discipline panel—

【Self‑Discipline Shared Targets +50】

【Shared Targets Accepting Challenges +20】

【Secondary Shared Targets +1000】

【Self‑Discipline Quality Upgrade Card (Orange)】

【Super Self‑Discipline Card (Orange) ×3】

【All self‑discipline titles below blue quality have been automatically upgraded to blue quality】

【Difficulty of purple and purple‑quality self‑discipline challenges reduced to one‑quarter of original】

"The changes from the previous ascension aren't much different; the only difference is that the difficulty of completing self‑discipline challenges has decreased."

Chen Mo looked at the self‑discipline challenges of the 【Time‑Space Traveling Lion】.

He found that all three challenge items had been lowered.

First, the daily time to comprehend spatial power dropped from at least eight hours to four hours.

The self‑discipline duration was also reduced from ninety days to 22.5 days—about three weeks! For the other two challenges, the daily wormhole traversals decreased from at least two times to at least one.

Traversing eight different worlds became traversing two worlds.

The difficulty dropped dramatically!

The difficulty of 【Great Chef Lion】 has also decreased a lot!

"However, after advancing to the Legendary Stage, the corresponding self-discipline title should be of orange quality. These purple-quality self-discipline titles will also be phased out."

Chen Mo thought.

He had already begun to anticipate the orange title that would refresh after completing 【Great Chef Lion】.

The purple title is already this powerful; isn't the effect of the orange title even more terrifying?

There is even a chance it could help him grasp the power of laws ahead of time.

That is a power possessed only by beings of the Totem Realm.

After experiencing his power, Chen Mo walked out of the secret realm.

The Emerald King Snake dutifully guarded the entrance of the secret realm.

Seeing Chen Mo emerge, and his aura becoming ever more profound, it couldn't help but excitedly ask: "Your Majesty, have you advanced to the Legendary Stage?"

"Hmm."

Chen Mo nodded slightly, then via telepathy told the Emerald King Snake: "The original Mist Forest will now be under your charge."

The Three-Eyed Poison Scorpion has died; after refining the core of the ley lines of the Poison Domain, Chen Mo is naturally the true lord of the Poison Domain.

The territory of the Poison Domain is extremely vast, roughly equivalent to the total land area of Blue Star.

Chen Mo can already feel the feedback from 【Lord Lion】.

Unfortunately, advancing each stage of the Legendary Stage requires a massive amount of primal spiritual power; after occupying the Poison Domain, the ley-line energy fed back by 【Lord Lion+】 is only one-tenth of what is needed to reach the mid-stage of the Legendary Stage.

"'Emerald, go summon the lords of all regions of the Poison Domain to have them meet here within a day.'"

Chen Mo then said.

Next, he naturally prepared to gather the entire Poison Domain's resources and strength to vigorously develop 'agriculture'.

Especially the 'development' of the Yellow Spring Secret Realm.

After becoming the lord of the Poison Domain, the Yellow Spring Secret Realm naturally became Chen Mo's backyard.

Within the Yellow Spring Secret Realm, not only do numerous divine medicines grow, but the poison-type spiritual energy is extremely abundant, making it highly suitable for cultivating various divine medicinal herbs!

And concerning the cultivation of divine medicines, it naturally requires a large amount of 'labor'.

Unfortunately, at least half of the Poison Domain's calamity beings have perished in the Yellow Spring Secret Realm, especially high-level calamity beings, which have nearly been wiped out!

"'Yes, Your Majesty!'"

The Emerald King Snake's eyes were full of excitement.

After Chen Mo became the lord of the Poison Domain, its status also rose accordingly.

It can be said to be 'under one beast, above myriad beasts'.

Moreover, it believes that as long as it steadfastly follows His Majesty, it will surely have a brighter future!

The Emerald King Snake naturally did not personally 'run errands' to notify each being of the other territories; instead, it ordered the other calamity beings of the Mist Forest to complete this task.

Naturally, the Emerald King Snake also announced this news to the other calamity beings within the Mist Forest——

The Ice Lion not only successfully advanced to the Legendary Stage, but also slew the Three-Eyed Poison Scorpion, becoming the new ruler of the Poison Domain! Upon hearing this, the calamity beasts obsessed with farming all felt incredulous, as if it were unreal.

Wasn't their Majesty just occupying the Mist Forest last month?

As a result, in less than a month, they directly beheaded the Poison Domain's lord, the Three-Eyed Poison Scorpion, becoming the new ruler of the Poison Domain!?
