192: Internal explosion! The most difficult battle!
As Chen Mo put distance between them, he glanced at the newly appeared Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede, noticing that its extraordinary level was only Low-tier Legendary, but its various attribute data were exaggeratedly high.
Its highest comprehensive combat power even reached an astonishing 6 million!
【Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede (Asexual)】
【Level: Low-tier Legendary】
【Physique: 5.12w】
【Agility: 5.82w】
【Strength: 5.95w】
【Soul: 5.24w】
【Abilities: Void Hunt, Poison Realm Descent, Death Bite, Poison Mist, Blood Poison Corrosion, Extreme Speed Poison, Heavenly Dragon Bite, Heavenly Dragon Soul Snatch...】
【Comprehensive Combat Power: 5.83 million ~ 6.44 million】
Even more terrifying was that the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede's highest comprehensive combat power was still skyrocketing at an alarming rate.
It seemed its power was gradually recovering!
It soon reached 7 million!
Chen Mo didn't hesitate; he immediately ran towards the exit, dashed out of the bloody waterfall, and then fled towards the secret realm entrance without looking back.
This Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede was simply monstrous, even more powerful than the Three-Eyed Poison Scorpion.
As a former deity, it probably still possessed some powerful, unknown abilities.
He was definitely no match for it now!
However, what he didn't expect was that the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede actually followed close behind, bursting out of the waterfall and chasing him directly.
And its speed was even greater than his!
After awakening from the body of the Yellow Spring Fruit Tree, the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede had broken free from regional restrictions and could go anywhere.
"It's too late!"
Chen Mo's heart sank.
He hadn't expected such a sudden turn of events.
Now that the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede had fully recovered and was catching up at an astonishing speed, it was too late to escape.
But if he fought to the death, there might still be a chance!
"You are quite remarkable! I didn't expect that after so many years, an entity capable of defeating a Legendary-tier being with a Calamity-tier body would appear in the outside world."
At this moment, an ancient, majestic voice resounded in Chen Mo's mind.
Clearly, this was the voice of the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede.
"As for you, you must be the Ice Phoenix's former kin, right?"
The Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede then said to the Heavenly Screen Ice Spider's clone:
"I can smell the Ice Phoenix on you. I didn't expect there to be a survivor after my world-ending poison."
"If you were given more time to develop, you might truly have grown into a mythical creature."
"Unfortunately, I'm awake now."
The Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede wasn't in a hurry to attack.
On one hand, it had absolute confidence in itself; on the other hand, after sleeping for tens of thousands of years, it couldn't help but speak more.
Chen Mo circulated the spiritual energy within his body, simultaneously taking out various spiritual plants and divine medicines from his backpack and stuffing them into his mouth.
Among them were many Calamity-tier divine medicines, many of which he had obtained earlier in this Yellow Spring Forest.
Some were to enhance basic attributes like speed and strength, while others were to increase recovery power and spiritual energy recovery speed.
Pop some pills before the fight and stack up all the buffs first!
"Then let me see how long you can last."
A crimson light flashed across the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede's compound eyes, and then a rumbling sound suddenly came from the distant Blood Sea Lake and Poison Insect Valley.
The water on the surface of the Blood Sea Lake boiled, and then these waters flowed upstream, forming blood-water centipedes over a hundred meters long on the lake's surface.
These blood-water centipedes were lifelike, surprisingly similar to the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede.
After these blood centipedes formed, they rushed towards Chen Mo at a speed exceeding Mach 10.
The red mist in Poison Insect Valley also gathered together, forming a gigantic, sky-obscuring head that likewise lunged at Chen Mo.
The Blood Sea Lake and Poison Insect Valley were once parts of its body, so the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede could naturally control them!
Thousands of hundred-meter blood centipedes roared towards Chen Mo from all directions, like a true myriad dragons returning to their nest, a magnificent sight!
"Ceasefire!"
At the critical moment, Chen Mo released his domain.
Ceasefire, which had always been able to annihilate and erase all attacks, this time did not completely erase all the blood centipedes!
The sheer number of these blood centipedes was too great, and each one carried incredibly powerful energy, exceeding the upper limit of "Ceasefire"!
However, after being weakened by the "Ceasefire" domain, the forms of these blood centipedes became incredibly ethereal.
Coupled with Chen Mo's abnormal defensive capabilities, he still managed to block them unharmed.
However, this was only the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede's first wave of attack.
The second wave of attack, the giant centipede head formed by the red mist, had already arrived.
The blood mist head opened its chaotic red maw, intending to swallow Chen Mo into nothingness in one gulp.
"Suppression of Evil!"
Chen Mo immediately released the Suppression of Evil domain with all his might.
Under the superposition of the two domains, the blood mist head shattered back into red mist the moment it bit down.
The price Chen Mo paid was that the spiritual energy in his body was almost depleted!
Although the two domains, 【Suppression of Evil】 and 【Ceasefire】, were effective, they were very "mana-intensive"!
And the higher the attack intensity, the more spiritual energy was consumed.
"Is a casual strike from this evil god so terrifying?"
Chen Mo immediately lay on the ground, rapidly recovering spiritual energy through the 【Lying Flat Lion+】 title.
After upgrading, 【Lying Flat Lion+】 had an incredibly astonishing recovery speed.
This also gave Chen Mo the capital for sustained combat!
"Interesting, you actually blocked it."
Seeing that Suanni had blocked its first wave of attack, a look of surprise flashed in the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede's crimson eyes, and spiritual patterns shimmered on its wings.
Then, in the next second, its figure suddenly disappeared.
And an unprecedented sense of crisis arose in Chen Mo's heart.
Chen Mo instinctively dodged to the side, but he was still a little too slow.
The Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede suddenly appeared from the void and bit at his neck.
Because of Chen Mo's evasive movement, the bite landed on Chen Mo's shoulder, and golden blood instantly gushed out.
This move looked similar to the Jade King Serpent's 【Serpent Spirit Flash】, but the principle was vastly different.
The Jade King Serpent's 【Serpent Spirit Flash】 was essentially an instantaneous burst of unimaginable speed, achieving a teleportation effect with a certain distance limit.
However, the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede truly traversed spatial distance, directly attacking the enemy.
【Void Bite】
As a mythical creature, it was rare to only possess one type of power.
And the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede also wielded the power of space.
A totem-level spell, this spell was rarely used by the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede; its effect in divine battles was negligible, but in its current body, some overly powerful spells or forbidden abilities could not be unleashed.
However, it had a very good effect on Chen Mo.
Chen Mo immediately swung his claws in retaliation, and the nine highly venomous flying swords around him hummed, instantly slashing towards the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede.
The flying swords struck the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede's carapace, sending out a series of sparks, finally successfully breaking through the armor and leaving a fine scratch.
Chen Mo then released Ceasefire, forcibly dispelling the spiritual energy protective layer on the carapace.
Finally, the flying swords directly pierced through.
The Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede's current body was, after all, only Low-tier Legendary, not completely invincible!
However, in the next second, the shattered flesh began toWriggling strangely, and then visibly completed its recovery.
【Flesh Recombination】
This was a passive ability mastered by the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede; when its body suffered heavy damage, its flesh would recombine at an unimaginable speed.
On the other side, after launching the attack, Chen Mo immediately pulled away again.
At the same time, the wound previously inflicted by the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede began to heal rapidly.
The effect of 【Lying Flat Lion+】 also endowed Chen Mo with extraordinary recovery abilities.
Coupled with the various divine medicines he had previously consumed to enhance recovery, Chen Mo could now even regrow severed limbs.
A hint of confusion flashed in the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede's crimson eyes.
It wasn't surprised that the Suanni in front of it had actually injured it, but rather that the Suanni showed no signs of being poisoned!
One had to know that the most fatal aspect of its Void Bite was not the biting force, but the toxins carried in its fangs.
Even a Legendary-tier creature bitten by it would melt into a puddle of blood within a few seconds.
But the Suanni in front of it was still lively and kicking.
Being immune to its toxins was a bit outrageous.
However, the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede was not angry but pleased; the more extraordinary the potential of this Suanni, the more excited it became.
Crimson spiritual patterns erupted with a dazzling scarlet light on the 8 pairs of fleshy wings behind it.
Then the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede's figure disappeared again.
Boom!
Accompanied by the sound of metal clashing, the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede's claws once again slashed across Chen Mo's body—this time, his back!
Golden blood gushed out again.
The Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede's speed was too fast!
It wielded the power of Extreme Speed Poison; the Ghost-faced Fish in the Blood Sea Lake had consumed the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede's Extreme Speed Blood, which was why they possessed unimaginable speed.
And the speed unleashed by the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede's true form was even more astonishingly fast.
Coupled with 【Void Bite】, Chen Mo was almost unable to parry.
Its attack trajectory was uncatchable, unpredictable, and unblockable!
Even releasing Absolute Zero could only halt the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede's figure for less than 0.5 seconds, but it required a massive consumption of spiritual energy.
Although Chen Mo was immune to the toxins carried by the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede, there was a huge disparity in speed and strength between the two sides.
"Completely suppressed."
In this high-intensity battle, Chen Mo's mind was highly concentrated, falling into extreme calm.
He didn't think about the consequences of defeat, nor did he think about anything other than the battle.
Instead, he devoted himself entirely to this fight.
While constantly dodging, he was also searching for the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede's weakness and trying to figure out its attack patterns.
The gap between them had not reached the point of being completely unwinnable.
He still had a chance!
Five minutes later.
Chen Mo was already covered in wounds.
He had to admit, this was definitely the toughest battle he had fought since his rebirth.
He was completely overwhelmed in every aspect.
The Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede's massive maw struck again.
After realizing that its poison had absolutely no effect on this Suanni, the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede decisively abandoned its proud venomous abilities and instead continuously used Void Bite, purely relying on physical strength to leave wounds on Chen Mo's body.
Because the attacks were too dense and fast, the Suanni's recovery speed simply couldn't keep up with the rate of injury.
As long as the battle continued, this Suanni would eventually be defeated by it.
However, this time, the moment it appeared from the void, its entire body's blood suddenly stagnated, as if solidified.
Although it only lasted for less than a second, it disrupted its attack rhythm.
At the cost of severe injuries, Chen Mo finally successfully predicted the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede's appearance after using Void Bite, and then used a pre-released Frost Condensation to control it for half a second.
And relying on this fleeting half-second, Chen Mo directly rushed into the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede's massive maw.
Because of 【Fatal Poison Lion】, Chen Mo was immune to the toxins within the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede's body.
While the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede's interior was extremely dangerous for any other creature, for him, it was an excellent opportunity.
Following this, Chen Mo, according to the tactics he had envisioned dozens of times in his mind, simultaneously unleashed the 【Suppression of Evil】 and 【Ceasefire】 dual domains, once again controlling the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede for 2 seconds.
"Die!"
Chen Mo roared internally, then recklessly mobilized all the ice-element spiritual energy in his body and unleashed 【Ice Blast】.
This was a inherited spell he had mastered after advancing to High-tier Calamity.
A Legendary-tier spell.
Between the white fur of the Suanni, stained with golden blood, appeared glowing blue spiritual patterns.
The sharp horn on his head also erupted with dazzling blue light.
The next second.
A deafening roar echoed from the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede's abdomen.
Incredibly violent ice-element primordial energy was compressed to the extreme, then exploded in an instant.
Like the colossal sound of hundreds of nuclear bombs detonating simultaneously, the swirling snow and ice crystals generated by the ice blast swept outwards.
In less than 5 seconds, it froze all living and non-living things within a radius of tens of kilometers, and then the powerful impact pulverized everything into ice dust.
This naturally included the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede.
Because it was at the center of the ice blast, it took the full brunt of all the damage from the explosion.
The Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede's body was blown to pieces, flesh and blood flying everywhere.
Internal detonation!
This was Chen Mo's plan.
Compared to its hard shell, the internal flesh, organs, and viscera might be the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede's weaker points.
Of course, the power of the ice blast also caused immense damage to Chen Mo.
At this moment, he was covered in blood and gore, golden blood staining every strand of his fur, making him almost unrecognizable as a lion.
Even though he had transformed into his undead form as planned just before the ice blast, he still suffered a tremendous impact.
But the battle was not over.
Chen Mo had no time to tend to his injuries; instead, using the faint energy he had just recovered through 【Lying Flat Lion】, he willed his body to move again, chasing after the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede's completely shattered head.
The Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede was not dead!
Although its aura had become incredibly weak, it was still alive.
Then, the flesh and blood that had been blasted into ice dust surprisingly began to gather eerily into puddles of minced meat, attempting to reassemble!
【Flesh Recombination】
However, before the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede could fully recover, Chen Mo's attack had already arrived.
His undead claw struck down, and undead fire spread through the minced meat, completely thwarting the Heavenly Dragon Poison Centipede's attempt to reassemble and revive.
