Chapter 86

When the Ice Lion King set foot on the snow mountain, as the Lord of the Region, An Dongni naturally also sensed the Ice Lion King's presence.

"Ice Lion King? What is it doing here?"

Without any hesitation, he immediately used his "Kick" permission.

An Dongni's original plan was to bide his time until the second‑tier Divine Pill appeared in his domain.

Until then, he would not leave the mountain.

Any creature that might threaten him would be directly kicked out of his region.

Isn't it fine to be the sole "Emperor" in the Great Snow Mountain?

Regarding this famously powerful being in the secret realm of the Great Snow Mountain, An Dongni considered himself no match and naturally wanted to expel it from his territory at once.

But the next second, he was stunned.

The Ice Lion King's massive silhouette remained in his sight, not disappearing.

Seeming to sense his gaze, the Ice Lion King grinned, revealing a terrifying smile!

As if mocking him! The Lord of the Region's teleport ability had failed!

Watching the Ice Lion King rush toward him, An Dongni frantically activated the "Kick" permission, but it never took effect!

In the blink of an eye, the distance between them shrank to just a kilometer.

At that distance, the Ice Lion King could reach him in less than ten seconds!

An Dongni quickly restrained his emotions, adopting a fake smile: "Your Majesty the Lion King, what brings you here?"

In truth, he had already roughly guessed the Ice Lion King's purpose for coming.

The Ice Void Spirit tugged on a spirit‑linked ice silkworm thread, allowing the Ice Lion King and An Dongni to communicate.

"Roar! (Hand over the Regional Spirit, and I'll spare you a way out.)" Hearing this, An Dongni's heart sank.

Sure enough!

He knew that once he handed over the Regional Spirit and became an ordinary awakened one, he would be finished! In the past month, he hadn't done a shortage of heinous deeds!

The other awakened beings on this snow mountain would surely swarm and kill him.

So—he had to seize a sliver of survival by killing the Lion King before him.

"I'll give, I'll give!"

Thinking that, An Dongni produced the Regional Spirit, cupped it in both hands, and hurried toward the Ice Lion King.

When he was still five meters from the Ice Lion King, An Dongni suddenly felt ice‑type spiritual energy surge within him, and an ice spear materialized in his hand.

"Give it to me."

Before the ice spear could be thrust and before any death cry could be uttered, An Dongni's body froze, his pupils dilated.

A layer of white frost spread over him, then, as if losing support, he leaned forward and crashed heavily to the ground.

Bang!!! At the moment An Dongni hit the ground, his body turned into shards of "crushed stone," like a broken ice statue.

Two frost‑blue runes appeared before Chen Mo; after the release, their glow was gradually fading.

Frost Solidify

It instantly freezes any liquid within a ten‑meter radius, including blood inside living bodies! This is the ability Chen Mo mastered after breaking through the Medium Lord tier.

The moment spiritual energy fluctuated on An Dongni, Chen Mo realized the guy was acting without martial virtue and intended to ambush him.

So he employed this new ability.

The effect was unexpectedly perfect, instantly killing the human.

"Roar~" (Too weak.) Though both are lord‑level, the human's combat power before him was worlds apart.

Chen Mo's ice‑blue pupils showed no ripple; he then seized the Regional Spirit from the center of An Dongni's shattered corpse and began refining it. At the moment of death, the Regional Spirit reverted to an ownerless state.

While Chen Mo refined the Regional Spirit, several awakened beings in the snow mountain gradually approached it, stopped a few hundred meters away, and then knelt to the ground.

Facing the Ice Lion King, their eyes held no fear, but gratitude.

After An Dongni became the Lord of the Region, he controlled their families and forced these awakened ones to hunt the extraordinary in nearby areas.

During that time, many awakened, but more died.

Some tried to flee or resist, but none met a good end.

The gap between ordinary awakened beings and the Lord of the Region was too vast.

At this moment, the tyrant was effortlessly executed by the Ice Lion King.

Legends of the Ice Lion King had already spread widely in the Kenni La nation.

In the hearts of most Kenni La people, the Ice Lion King is an auspicious divine beast.

"Your Majesty the Lion King, thank you for saving us!"

Chen Mo paid no heed to their feelings, calmly refining the Regional Spirit.

He then let Sang Qi and Xiong Ba temporarily take over governance of the snow mountain, incorporating it into the Ice Lion Clan's territory.

He himself rushed toward another neighboring snow mountain on the first day; Chen Mo has conquered four snow mountains in total, refining four Regional Spirits.

At present, of the sixty‑four Regional Spirits, he has refined forty‑seven; only seventeen remain, and once gathered, he will have all the fragments. Now, Chen Mo can roughly discern that the complete Divine Realm core should be spherical.

He doesn't know what will happen after gathering all the Regional Spirits, but Chen Mo looks forward to it.

Watching the blue beams gradually illuminate the snow mountain, the races of the Great Snow Mountain couldn't help but feel alarmed by the Ice Lion King's power.

The remaining Lords of the Region trembled even more.

What's happening!?

Why is it now unsafe even within one's own territory? ————

【Gluttonous Lion+】 Day 12.

Chen Mo, accompanied by several leaders, arrived at the central snow mountain called Ice Sparrow Mountain.

"Lord, the ruler of Ice Sparrow Mountain is an Ice Sparrow that claims to be a descendant of the Winter God. It resides on a snow phoenix tree atop the mountain."

On the way, the Snow Treading Fox Leader explained the information of the Snow Mountain Lord to the Ice Lion King.

Is it really a descendant of the Winter God?

The possibility is almost zero; a divine spirit's descendant is born at the King Realm, and how could it possibly appear in the surface world of the Winter God Domain?

The Snow Treading Fox Leader shook their head and answered with a smile.

On the way up the mountain, Chen Mo actually saw all kinds of supernatural beings on this snow mountain.

There were all kinds of supernatural birds, as well as Ice Claw Lynxes, Winter God Saber-toothed Tigers as the native inhabitants, and also newly ascended supernatural beings that came from the grasslands.

Are there really this many and this varied of supernatural beings here? That Ice Sparrow seems quite tolerant.

Chen Mo asked, feeling a bit curious.

Generally, lords besides their own clan do not allow other beings to set foot in their territory.

"King, it's actually entirely because that Ice Sparrow is too lazy, basically too lazy to govern its own territory."

The Snow Treading Fox Leader replied:

"After the Ice Sparrow refined the land spirit of this region, it spends most of its time sleeping, paying no attention to what happens outside, not even managing its own territory. Therefore, any kind of supernatural being can enter here. Of course, the precondition is not being killed by other predators."
