Chapter 55: Annexation

Chen Mo took another bite of the Frost Wolf Leader's flesh and blood; although the flesh and blood were still being rapidly digested, the feeling of every cell cheering did not appear.

It's not that the Frost Wolf Leader's flesh and blood aren't high enough grade, but the Violent Eating Lion has already reached its limit.

The effect of consuming transcendent flesh and blood to improve bodily qualities only works on beings of transcendent rank.

So Chen Mo gathered ice spiritual power, froze the bodies of the Frost Wolf Leader and the Ice‑scaled Giant Python, preparing to savor them slowly later.

After doing this, Chen Mo injected the ice spiritual power in his body into the Region Spirit, continuing to charge it.

The Lord Realm's spiritual power recovery speed is about five times that of the previous peak of the Transcendent Realm! Although some was spent in the earlier battle, it is now basically full.

Soon, the Region Spirit finished charging, and the towering blue ice pillar reaching the clouds slowly faded.

With the refinement of the Region Spirit, the ice spiritual power in Chen Mo's ice pill began to coalesce once again.

A terrifying oppressive pressure appeared around Chen Mo again.

He became a Lord once more.

After refining the Region Spirit, as long as he is within his domain, his Transcendent rank rises to Lord level.

Chen Mo felt a certain close connection with the snow mountain beneath his feet.

"This feeling is like being a mountain god."

His perspective quickly expanded, as if opening a third eye, able to see every corner of his domain.

This snow mountain is about 5,000 meters above sea level and covers over 10,000 square kilometers.

He then saw several Frost Wolves wandering at the foot of the mountain.

Chen Mo's mind moved, and without hesitation he used the "Kick" function.

The next second, the Frost Wolves that had been roaming the snowfield were instantly teleported outside his domain by a mysterious force.

After roughly patrolling the Great Snow Mountain and confirming no other creatures, Chen Mo exited this "Lord" mode.

At this moment, Sang Qi was using Ice Healing to treat his wounds, the Transcendent Lion Pack guards stood beside him, their eyes filled with zeal and worship.

Such powerful Frost Wolves and Ice‑scaled Giant Pythons were all slain by their king! In Aisha Lion's eyes was full concern; seeing Chen Mo open his eyes, she let out a low growl: "Roar?" (Brother, are you okay?)

Chen Mo shook his head.

"Roar~" (Just a minor injury.) He then looked down at the snowfield.

Because of the earlier battle, the snowfield was now stained red with blood, and hundreds to thousands of transcendent beings lay upon it.

Most of them had been stunned or even killed by Chen Mo's roar.

This flesh and blood and the demon pills constitute a sizable fortune, able to greatly boost the overall strength of the Ice Lion Clan.

Chen Mo's gaze turned to Xiong Ba.

"Roar!" (Clean up the battlefield! Capture the surviving transcendent beings, confirm the dead ones, give some flesh to the warriors, store the rest.) Chen Mo said calmly.

"Roar!" (At your service, Your Majesty.) Of course, the Ice Lion Pack did suffer losses in this battle.

Among the corpses on the snowfield were three transcendent lionesses.

Several lions that were close to the deceased lionesses stood beside them, their eyes showing sorrow.

After awakening to Transcendent, their emotions became richer, and the death of companions naturally hurt them more.

Chen Mo felt slightly heavy‑hearted; in a sense, those three lionesses died because of him.

After thinking, he used an Ice Storm to freeze their bodies and then buried them in the snow, like a proper burial in the human world.

He then had Xiong Ba use the Ice Consolidation Technique to erect an ice monument for the three lionesses.

"Roar!" (They are the bravest warriors of the Ice Lion Pack!)

Chen Mo let out a roar.

"Roar!" (As long as we remember them, they have not truly died.) (Rather than mourn them, we should avenge them!) Hearing this, the Ice Lion Clan let out deafening roars. Though they could not fully grasp the Lion King's words, they sensed his respect for the fallen "warriors."

The Snow‑step Foxes watching this scene were moved.

Being creatures that value their tribe, they instantly resonated, feeling that becoming the Lion King's subjects might not be bad.

The Lion King looked at the Snow‑step Fox, pulled a usable silk from the ice silkworm, and approached the Snow‑step Fox leader.

"Roar?" (Should the territories originally occupied by the Frost Wolf and Ice‑scaled Giant Python clans be nearby?) Chen Mo asked the Snow‑step Fox leader.

These two races were the first to arrive at the snow mountain where the Snow‑step Fox reside, so their domains are likely close.

"Yes, their territories are right beside us. My king, I can take you there."

Hearing Chen Mo's question, the Snow‑step Fox leader already understood what the Lion King intended.

Conquer the two nearby regions! Now the leaders of the Frost Wolf and Ice‑scaled Giant Python clans have all been slain by the Lion King, and ordinary Frost Wolves suffered heavy casualties.

This is the best time to annex these two territories! Upon hearing this, the Ice Frost Fox leader seemed to recall something and said:

"My king, there is something I must remind you. Every race on the Great Snow Mountain descends from royalty; they each possess a King's Realm. Do not offend too many, otherwise they may later retaliate."

"King's Realm? The realm above the Lord Realm?"

Chen Mo couldn't help thinking of the golden blood the Frost Wolf leader used; a single drop could cause such terrifying metamorphosis.

He is far from being a match for such an existence now.

The Snow‑step Fox leader nodded.

"They should now be inside the Inner World, right?"

"Yes. Before we were frozen, all beings above Lord level entered the Inner World."

The Snow‑step Fox leader replied.

"They seem to be heading for a brutal war, likely to die. But with so many races on the Great Snow Mountain, a few Kings' Realms will survive. So, my king, it's best not to offend too many races."

Chen Mo nodded, feeling untroubled.

He thought of the earliest ancient secret realm that descended upon Blue Star—the Green Forest Capital of Dongxia.

The Green Forest Capital also has an Inner World, but it has now been on the surface for a full year, and still no "original inhabitants" have emerged from the Inner World.

The transcendent beings inside the Inner World seem still unable to come out.

Other secret realms are the same.

So in a short time, the Frost Wolf King and the Ice Scale Giant Python King will not appear.

And when they arrive, who knows—he might have already grown up; by then, it's still uncertain who will cause trouble for whom!

Chen Mo's eyes flickered, and he then calmly said:

"First take me to the Frost Wolf Territory!"

Anyway, he already killed the Frost Wolf Leader, has a grudge with the Frost Wolf Clan, and doesn't mind killing a few more.

The Frost Wolf King's existence does put considerable pressure on him, but not to the point of fear—rather, it serves as motivation and fighting spirit.

Forty minutes later, Chen Mo, leading the lion and fox groups, arrived at the snow mountain occupied by the Frost Wolf Clan.

What Chen Mo didn't expect was—

When they arrived at the snow mountain, however, they found the entire snow mountain devoid of any beasts.

The Frost Wolf Clan had already fled! Thanks to Zui Meng Yun Xu Sui Yue for the 400 reward!
