Chapter 85: Sweeping the Great Snow Mountain Secret Realm (Three‑Night Pursuit, Monthly Ticket)

Afterwards, Chen Mo fully extracted the techniques that the snow mastiff had mastered.

There are a total of twelve techniques.

Among them is the Heavenly Ice Fall, the "ultimate move" released by the Frost Wolf Leader before death, and its power is immense.

It instantly condenses ice‑type spiritual energy into hundreds of ice spears, locks onto a target, and hurls them down at a staggering speed, dealing wildly exaggerated damage to a single target.

However, the learning difficulty is extremely high; it requires the condensation of 52 runes, more than seventeen times that of the Mysterious Ice Claw!

Chen Mo plans to study these techniques later when he has free time; for now the priority is mastering the Soul Fusion Technique and then conquering the entire Great Snow Mountain Secret Realm! The next two days are dedicated to that.

Chen Mo has been continuously studying the Soul Fusion Technique inside the ice cave.

Thanks to the Lion Mentor's boost to his comprehension, and the hands‑on guidance from the snow mastiff, a former King‑Realm existence,

Chen Mo mastered the Soul Fusion Technique in just two days.

After successfully condensing the final spirit sigil of the Soul Fusion Technique, he let out an excited roar.

"Roar!"

He can hardly wait to visit the territories of other lords.

"Then let's start from the nearby and move outward, beginning with the neighboring area!"

Chen Mo thought this, and thus summoned the leaders of each tribe.

The unified war for the Great Snow Mountain Secret Realm began from this moment!

The first place Chen Mo arrived at was Snow Mountain No. 3, controlled by Wang Long and the Tansanila military.

This snow mountain lies right next to Lion King Mountain, truly a neighboring relationship.

The survivors of Tansanila have built a city on the snow mountain and have begun developing agriculture and animal husbandry.

This snow mountain has effectively become Tansanila's final sanctuary!

Chen Mo, accompanied by the snow mastiff leader, slowly entered Snow Mountain No. 3.

The moment the massive Ice Lion King stepped into Snow Mountain No. 3, the regional ruler Wang Long sensed its presence.

Sensing the abyss‑like aura emanating from the Ice Lion King, Wang Long felt as if facing a great adversary.

He knows the Ice Lion King has already advanced to the Lord Realm, and even as regional ruler, he likely cannot match the Ice Lion King.

Moreover, he understands the Ice Lion King's temperament; it is sufficiently cautious.

Since it dared to come to Snow Mountain No. 3, that implies it holds unwavering confidence of victory!

Thinking this, Wang Long forced out a brilliant smile and warmly greeted it.

"Your Majesty the Lion King, welcome to our domain as a guest; we are very grateful for the ice vegetable seeds you previously provided, which have now sprouted."

Wang Long said respectfully, and couldn't help to touch his bald head.

When he was a fire‑type awakened one, his bald head would sweat easily, and he would instinctively touch his head whenever nervous.

Even after becoming an ice‑type awakened one, he hasn't broken the habit.

The Ice Sky Sprite beside Chen Mo took the silk of a spirit‑communicating ice silkworm from its backpack and flew to Wang Long's side.

"Roar!" (I came here to make another deal with you.) Chen Mo stated his purpose directly.

"I want your Regional Spirit; in exchange, you will be protected by the Ice Lion Clan."

"You may still reside on this snow mountain, and you may also go to other territories of the Great Snow Mountain Secret Realm."

Chen Mo said calmly.

"Your Majesty, may I refuse?"

Wang Long forced a smile, his face full of helplessness.

Deep down, he naturally does not wish to hand over the Regional Spirit.

He traveled thousands of miles, leaving his wife and children, leading a team of awakened ones from Eastern Summer to this place, all to become regional ruler and await a Second‑Stage Divine Pill for a breakthrough! After finally becoming regional ruler—of two regions no less—without the Pill's birth, how could he willingly surrender the Regional Spirit? Not long ago, while all transcendent beings were drawn to the Second‑Stage Divine Pill, Wang Long led his awakened team to intercept a failed raid on the Frost Snow Leopard Leader who tried to return to his own domain!

After a fierce battle, Wang Long beheaded the Frost Snow Leopard Leader and successfully refined the Regional Spirit of Snow Leopard Mountain!

And if he truly hands over the Regional Spirit and joins the Realm of Exotic Beasts, he will return to the Transcendent Realm.

Without the Lord's Permission, they will completely lose autonomy, their survival hanging on a single thought of the Ice Lion King.

Throughout history, nations that lose autonomy seldom meet a good end.

Just as Wang Long was still wavering, the Ice Lion King's voice rang again in his mind—

"You are not my opponent. Wang Long, you may now try to use the Lord's Permission to kick me and my slave beast out of this territory."

The Ice Lion King's lion eyes calmly gazed at Wang Long.

Hearing "slave beast", the snow mastiff barked twice.

It is a proud King‑Realm existence, yet now called a 'slave beast'! Never mind, under the fence, endure for now! Wang Long immediately activated his Lord's Permission, attempting to teleport the Ice Lion King out of Snow Mountain No. 3.

The next second, the Lion King's figure did not vanish.

It failed.

Wang Long was not surprised by this.

"I don't want to see rivers of blood."

Chen Mo's tone was filled with absolute confidence: "I know you come from Eastern Summer; you must be here to break through the Lord Realm."

"When this snow mountain yields a second Second‑Stage Divine Pill, I will give you a chance."

"That's better than dying right now."

Hearing this, Wang Long let out a sigh.

The Ice Lion King was right.

He has no strong bond with this land; his arrival here is merely to seek a chance to break through the Lord stage.

The reason he helped Tansanila build the Winter City sanctuary was simply that he felt compassion for ordinary people's plight in the apocalypse and did what he could.

He has long begun to miss his hometown, longing for his parents and his wife and children.

Since the Great Snow Mountain descended and the signal became extremely poor, he has almost gone a month without calling his relatives.

Moreover, the number of mutant creatures in the sea is growing ever larger, and the population of Abyssal beings is increasing day by day; he is very afraid that if he delays, he may no longer be able to return to Dongxia!

In the end, Wang Long still compromised.

"I know I have no qualifications to bargain, but I am willing to hand over the regional spirits of Snow Mountains No. 3 and No. 4. However, I hope Your Majesty will keep your promise and not harm the humans in these two snow mountains."

"In the future, you will be glad you made this wise choice."

Chen Mo nodded, took the regional spirits of the two Great Snow Mountains, and began to refine them directly.

Soon, above the Great Snow Mountain secret realm, two bright blue pillars of light shone again—

After refining the regional spirits of Snow Mountain No. 3 and Snow Leopard Mountain, Chen Mo set off on his Snow Mastiff Horse without pause toward another snow mountain ruled by humans.

He could hardly wait to refine more regional spirits and unify the Great Snow Mountain secret realm! This snow mountain was originally the territory of the Ice Crows.

Later, Kennira's forces joined with two American Awakened squads, defeated and expelled the Ice Crow clan, and the region's core was refined by the captain of the American Awakened squad, Anthony.

Unlike Wang Long and the general, who built Winter City to shelter survivors, this American Awakened squad captain Anthony, after helping Kennira seize this snow mountain's regional spirit, began an absolute "dictatorship" rule.

"Those who follow me prosper; those who oppose me perish."

All other humans living in this snow mountain must center their will around his alone.

Anthony is already showing a tendency to become a patriot of his homeland.
