Chapter 39: Epilogue
It was as if a massive shockwave swept around the two giant beasts, instantly collapsing the houses within a 30-meter radius that hadn't fallen yet!
Smoke and dust, mixed with flying snow, completely enveloped the battlefield.
The ability Chen Mo Awakened after advancing to High-Level Transcendent was the Ice Wind Roar, and coupled with the amplification of the [Roaring Lion], its power was terrifying!
More importantly—the Ice Wind Roar could not only inflict physical damage, but it could also deal a massive blow to the target's spirit and Soul!
This roar instantly pierced the Ice Armor White Rhino's head and even its Soul.
In that moment, it felt like it saw its great-grandmother.
Its ice armor defense was indeed formidable, capable of resisting physical damage.
But the problem was—
It couldn't immunize against mental attacks!
Blood flowed from the Ice Armor White Rhino's ears; it had been stunned by the roar.
Before it could wake up, another lion's roar, striking directly at the Soul, sounded.
Roar!
The Extraordinary Ice Lions continuously roared, their powerful bellows propagating dozens of kilometers away, causing the glass of the remaining houses to shatter simultaneously.
The Lion Pride and the rhino herd currently fighting were also affected to some extent.
Fortunately, the Extraordinary Ice Lions were accustomed to hearing their King's rage, so after a brief moment of distraction, they resumed fighting, while the Extraordinary Ice Rhinos found it much harder to adapt.
The humans hiding beneath the ruins trembled, and those closer to the battlefield even passed out immediately.
These continuous lion roars were like the cries of ancient Vicious Beasts, and the scene of the two giant beasts fighting was like a movie brought to life!
While terrified, the people in the ruins were also praying frantically.
They prayed that the two terrifying giant beasts would injure each other gravely, or better yet, perish together.
After about two minutes, both the lion roars and the miserable wails abruptly ceased.
Had the battle ended?
At this moment, only those on the edge of the town who hadn't been stunned by the lion's roar dared to poke their heads out for a look.
They saw that the originally imposing white rhino giant beast was now lying motionless on the ground, having been killed directly by the Ice Lion's roar!
Meanwhile, the gigantic Ice Lion stood atop the white rhino, completely unscathed!
The battle had ended almost as soon as it began.
Seeing the Ice Armor White Rhino completely dead, the survivors' hearts turned cold.
Although they had hoped the Ice Armor White Rhino would die in battle, they didn't want it to be killed so easily!
It hadn't even inflicted any damage on the Ice Lion!
The Ice Armor White Rhino alone was enough to render the military helpless; facing the even stronger Lion King, their chances of survival were negligible!
At this point, the battle between the Extraordinary Lion Pride and the Extraordinary Ice Rhino herd was also drawing to a close.
The gap in strength between the two sides was simply too vast; the entire Lion Pride consisted of Transcendent beings, and there were even three Mid-Level Transcendent existences.
In the Extraordinary Ice Rhino herd, aside from the Ice Armor White Rhino, the strongest were merely Low-Level Transcendent, and many common species had not even undergone Awakening.
Under the organized and disciplined attack of the Lion Pride, they were naturally unable to resist.
After slaughtering the beast herd that had occupied Sunset Town, the Ice Lions did not immediately devour their prey; instead, they uniformly dragged the carcasses toward their King.
They simultaneously prostrated themselves on the ground, their gazes fanatically fixed on Chen Mo.
Roar!
Roar!
The pride let out strong, powerful, and continuous roars.
Lions are creatures that naturally worship strength.
After the Extraordinary Ice Lions Awakened their intelligence, they practically revered the Lion King as a god.
Seeing this scene, Chen Mo simply gave a calm, low growl—
"Roar!" (Eat first!)
Only then did the Extraordinary Ice Lions begin to feast heartily.
Chen Mo pulled out the Ice Armor White Rhino's ice core, preparing to absorb the Spiritual Qi within it.
However, after absorbing for a while, he stopped. The Spiritual Qi inside the ice core was stagnant like water, showing no change whatsoever.
It seemed that to achieve a Breakthrough past the limits of Transcendent, a second-tier divine medicine was still necessary.
He then tossed the Ice Armor White Rhino's ice core directly to Aisha.
Aisha also possessed the [Gluttonous Lion] title, and after perfectly digesting it, she had a high probability of advancing to High-Level Transcendent!
Chen Mo began to devour the Ice Armor White Rhino's flesh and blood.
After eating for a while, he realized that under the effect of the [Gluttonous Lion], the flesh and blood of a High-Level Transcendent still provided a slight improvement to his physical attributes.
It was very little, but better than nothing.
An Ice Crystal Rat with snow-white fur burrowed out from underground and knelt before Chen Mo, saying:
"Squeak! Squeak!" (Great King, you are the most powerful Extraordinary Creature I have ever seen since birth! Your strength is unstoppable! Your wisdom is unmatched! Your beauty is unsurpassed!)
While the Lion King and the Ice Armor White Rhino were fighting, it had to dig a hole and hide underground to avoid being caught in the crossfire. It only burrowed out again after sensing the battle was over.
Although Chen Mo couldn't understand rat language, he knew the little fellow was definitely flattering him right now.
He used his claw to tear off a large chunk of the Ice Armor White Rhino's flesh and blood and tossed it in front of the Ice Crystal Rat.
The body of this High-Level Transcendent giant rhino was extremely massive, weighing dozens, perhaps even hundreds, of tons!
"Squeak!" (Praise the Lion King!)
After bowing to the Lion King once more, the Ice Crystal Rat immediately bit into the flesh.
The Little Mouse is eating now~
After just the first bite, the Ice Crystal Rat's eyes sparkled!
Delicious, loves to eat!
At this moment, Xiong Ba also returned to the Lion Pride, bringing Sangi with him.
The speed of the off-road vehicle was still a bit slow.
"Roar!" (King, the human has been brought back alive.)
"Roar!" (Well done!)
Chen Mo tossed two cores of Mid-Level Extraordinary Creatures and a portion of the Ice Armor White Rhino's flesh and blood to Xiong Ba.
Xiong Ba was surprisingly steady this time; he didn't impulsively chase after the other Extraordinary Ice Rhinos but stayed by Sangi's side, remembering the task he had been given.
It seemed this fellow wasn't as reckless as he appeared.
"Roar!" (Thank you, My King!)
Taking the flesh and blood, Xiong Ba immediately began to frantically tear and swallow it.
This was the first time he had ever eaten the flesh and blood of a High-Level Transcendent creature.
Sangi knelt on the ground, his face filled with relief and gratitude:
"Your Majesty, thank you! From now on, Sangi's life belongs to you."
He understood that without the Lion King, neither he nor his parents would have survived.
"Roar!"
Chen Mo nodded calmly and wrote a line of text on the snow—
[Treat the injured first]
He came to this town primarily for the Ice Armor White Rhino's flesh and blood and its ice core; subduing Sangi was just a matter of convenience.
"Understood, Your Majesty."
Sangi quickly ran toward the injured Ice Lions and used [Frost Healing] to treat them.
After finishing the treatment, Sangi hesitated for a moment, then approached the Lion King and asked:
"Your Majesty, may I bring my parents back to the Lion Pride with me? They can drive, and they are also excellent cooks."
Hearing this, Chen Mo gave Sangi a strange look.
"Aren't you just sending your parents straight into the lions' den!"
However, for Sangi, this was indeed a wise choice.
With the acceleration of Spiritual Qi resurgence, cities were no longer safe.
Conversely, with the Lion King present, the Lion Pride was the safest place!
Sangi was able to realize this and had the courage to ask him.
He was quite clever.
[Allowed]
After receiving the Lion King's approval, Sangi began trying his best to persuade his parents.
He sincerely felt that staying in the Lion Pride was a good idea, certainly much safer than staying in the city!
Although Sangi's parents were internally reluctant to stay with such a terrifying Lion Pride, they ultimately couldn't argue against Sangi and decided to follow their son to the Lion Pride for a period of time first.
