Chapter 81: Evolution!

Boom! Boom! Runes swirl on the White Ape's fists, and punch after punch rain down on Chen Mo without end.

Chen Mo's warlike trait in his Lion Blood is fully triggered, and the Mystic Ice Claw reaches for the White Ape's chest.

Boom! Rip!

Another exchange.

This kind of exchange is profitable for Chen Mo: a minor wound for a severe one.

He has an ultra-strong constitution; the Ice Crystal Butterfly leader nearby continues to release endless icy healing on him.

And he also feels no pain; after downing that can of cola, Chen Mo's mood is pure joy! Once the King Blood is activated, the White Ape seems to lose its mind, its blood turning the snow red, yet its battle spirit soars! Ai Sha, Xiong Ba and other Ice Lion kin try to help, but despairingly find—at this level they can hardly join the fight.

The mere lordly pressure makes them feel suffocated.

If they unleash ranged attacks, they'd risk harming allies.

There are still two minutes until the Ice Dragon Fruit ripens.

On the other side of the battlefield, Winter Saber-tooth Tiger holds complete advantage, while the Frost Hound is covered in dense bloodstains, collapsed nearby, fate unknown.

The Winter Saber-tooth Tiger exhales another blast of cold breath, temporarily freezing the Ice Ghost, then ignores the Snow Spiny Hedgehog and dashes toward Chen Mo.

Divine Medicine is about to mature! To ensure no mistake, it must first eliminate the Ice Lion King! After all, forcibly triggering the internal King Blood to raise power to lord level only has one chance! This means they must seize this second-tier Divine Medicine this time, otherwise it's a dead end! The Winter Saber-tooth Tiger's entry makes the previously advantaged Chen Mo suddenly a bit unable to cope.

The ice flame on its claws carries an extreme cold aura; even a slight touch makes Chen Mo feel the brushed area stiffen.

Add the reckless White Ape, and Chen Mo's body quickly becomes stained with blood.

If it weren't for the Fat House Happy Lion making his physique unusually strong, he would probably be dead now.

But now, Chen Mo can still hold on a bit longer.

He realizes that the Winter Saber-tooth Tiger, White Ape, and Snow Mastiff all forcibly triggered their internal King Blood, gaining great combat power.

This burst state doesn't last; as long as they can't obtain the second-tier Divine Medicine, once their King Blood burns out, they won't be Chen Mo's opponents! The current key is to endure and then seize the second-tier Divine Medicine!

After a prolonged fight, the Winter Saber-tooth Tiger suddenly halts its storm-like assault.

'Roar!' (I never expected this era to produce a powerhouse like you!)

The Winter Saber-tooth Tiger lets out a howl.

'Roar!' (If you're willing to sign this Blood Pact, serve me as master, I'll spare your life.) The Ice Lion King before them has defense and resilience far beyond its imagination, impossible to kill within two minutes.

If it keeps pushing forward, the White Ape or Snow Mastiff might gain the advantage! This forces it to change its mind.

Chen Mo is even too lazy to reply, continuing to clash with the two beasts; now there are thirty seconds left until the Ice Dragon Fruit ripens.

He must stall these two feral beasts.

With ten seconds remaining before the Ice Dragon Fruit matures.

Chen Mo releases another Ice Wind Roar, unleashes a spinning stink, and dashes toward the Ice Dragon Fruit.

The mentally tainted Winter Saber-tooth Tiger and White Ape naturally chase after swiftly.

5... 2... 0, the moment the countdown hits zero, accompanied by waves of dragon chant, the Ice Dragon Fruit's leaves reveal an Ice Dragon illusion, and the four blue fruits atop exude a massive ice elemental spirit!

At the instant the Ice Dragon Fruit ripens, a white figure suddenly bursts from the soil beneath it. It's the Ice Crystal Rat! The rat had been tunneling beside the fruit tree, and now emerges to instantly harvest all four Ice Dragon Fruits.

'Roar!' (How dare you!) The Winter Saber-tooth Tiger, which has been watching the Ice Dragon Fruit's movements, lets out a howl.

The Snow Mastiff and White Ape also charge toward the Ice Crystal Rat simultaneously.

After plucking the Ice Dragon Fruit, the Ice Crystal Rat darts swiftly toward Chen Mo.

At this moment, the Frost Crane Squad and Little Black Panther Luna, hovering high above, suddenly drop bag after bag.

The bags are filled with crystal-clear ice-blue mushrooms.

Flash Frost Mushroom! A special variant of frost mushroom that Chen Mo previously cultivated.

As the Ice Dragon Fruit nears ripening, Chen Mo roars, ordering the Flying Squad to be ready to bomb with flash grenades.

Bang! Bang! Bang! When the flash frost mushrooms hit the ground, they burst into blinding flashes of light.

The entire snow mountain instantly shines as bright as daylight!

The three extraordinary creatures are all blinded.

Chen Mo is naturally blinded too, yet he can still see the rat's status bar.

Naturally, he's a step faster than the Winter Saber-tooth Tiger! After Chen Mo and the rat sprint toward each other, they swallow all four Ice Dragon Fruits in one gulp without hesitation.

The next second, he feels the Ice Dragon Fruit instantly transform into a massive surge of ice elemental spirit, flooding into his Ice Pill.

Immediately, the powerful spirit energy erupting from the Ice Pill sweeps his entire body, rapidly strengthening every part of him.

Blood, bones, even every cell! All undergo intense transformation.

At this moment, Chen Mo finally understands why only consuming the second-tier Divine Medicine can trigger ascension.

The Ice Dragon Fruit contains a mysterious, medium-like power that causes the spirit energy within the Ice Pill to undergo a qualitative change, quickly condensing into liquid, then driving genetic and blood transformations in the body!

This is an elevation of life's tier! Previously, whether the Spirit of the Region or the title Lord Lion, they only raised the Ice Pill to the lord level.

Now he truly steps into the Lord Realm! It's roughly akin to the difference between a Golden Core and a False Core!

Chen Mo feels a slight itch as his body hair begins to wildly sprout.

After advancing to lord, the spirit energy's strengthening causes him to grow rapidly from a juvenile form to a youthful one! Ice crystal fragments also proliferate, covering his body like a crystal battle armor.

It not only grants powerful physical defense, but also largely immunizes or even weakens attacks that rely on spirit energy condensation.

The flash mushroom bombardment lasts only two seconds.

When the Winter Saber-tooth Tiger opens its eyes again, it despairingly finds the Ice Lion King has already swallowed the Ice Dragon Fruit, growing and strengthening at a staggering rate! Moreover, its wounds heal at an astonishing speed, its oppressive aura intensifying! Meanwhile, its own power rapidly wanes, soon to fall below lord level! Its internal King Blood has burned out.

'Roar!' (Don't kill me, I'm willing to sign a Blood Pact with you, serve you as master!) The Winter Saber-tooth Tiger extends a Spiritual Ice Silkworm Thread to Chen Mo, pleading for mercy.

It doesn't want to die.

Since its consciousness awakened from the descendant's body, it shows its original self has long been dead.

Now, after much effort, it revives from this body using a prearranged backup, and what awaits it is a glorious era of revived spiritual energy and a contest among myriad beasts.

It wants to live more than anyone! (End of Chapter)
