Swallowing Thunder and Lightning

Seven-Colored radiance shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire Bamboo Forest Island.

The charred and shattered outer shell of the snake body rustled down, and a small snake, only about a foot long and completely seven-colored, lightly coiled out.

Its body was exquisite, its scales reflecting a dreamlike luster, and its pair of pale purple snake pupils were pure yet filled with confusion.

A faint, almost imperceptible, strange fragrance spread.

"Its body is seven-colored, its pupils slightly purple, its body emits fragrance, and its power reaches the heavens..."

Cao Ying's beautiful eyes widened, and she couldn't help but gasp, "This is... the Ancient Exotic Beast, the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python?!"

Dan Chen also covered her mouth, "The peerless Magical Beast whose potential is rumored to reach the Dou Sheng rank... Queen Medusa, she actually succeeded!"

Qing Lin tightly gripped Dan Chen's sleeve corner. Her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils uncontrollably heated up slightly, transmitting a complex sensation of both closeness and fear.

She could clearly "see" inside this tiny seven-colored snake body.

The vast, abyss-like power of its bloodline contained within—a noble existence positioned at the absolute apex among serpentine Magical Beasts.

However, the joy brought by this success did not last even for a moment.

"Rumble!!!"

Above the sky, dark clouds gathered at an astonishing speed, and heavy pressure instantly enveloped the area.

Silver snakes danced wildly, and thunder roared.

Amidst the Lightning Tribulation.

Lightning imbued with destructive aura was frantically gathering, locking onto the newly born Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python below!

A Lightning Tribulation of the Dou Zong rank!

At this moment, the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python—if the Green Lotus Core Flame had been full of power when refining her bloodline

she wouldn't have needed such a long process and could have retained the strength to fight the Heavenly Tribulation.

But now.

Because the evolution process took too long, it had consumed almost all of its strength.

Its delicate body appeared so fragile under the majestic Heavenly Might, as if it would be torn apart by the lightning in the next instant.

"Your Majesty the Queen!"

The Four Great Elders had just struggled out of the dead silent lake water when they saw this terrifying scene.

They sensed the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python's faint, threadlike aura and looked at the terrifying Lightning Tribulation poised in the air, instantly realizing their predicament.

The Great Elder's face flashed with resolve. She exchanged glances with the other three elders, seeing the same determination to die in their eyes.

"For the future of our clan, for Her Majesty the Queen!"

The Great Elder shouted hoarsely, "Form the Four Snake Sacrifice Array! We will use our broken bodies and souls to withstand this tribulation for Your Majesty!"

A tragic and majestic Fighting Qi erupted simultaneously from the four people. They were actually going to burn their life essence to forcibly construct a barrier of flesh and blood!

Anxiety filled the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python's purple snake pupils.

She could feel the elders' determination, but weakness overwhelmed her like a tide, making even a hiss difficult.

Right at this critical moment.

"How noisy!"

A cold reprimand rang out, carrying an undeniable dominance.

Shen Wen, who had been standing still in the void, moved.

His figure transformed into a dazzling flash of lightning, arriving first despite setting off later. He was even faster than the Four Great Elders burning their lives, charging directly towards the imminent Dou Zong Lightning Tribulation!

"Husband!"

Cao Ying's heart nearly stopped in terror—that was a Dou Zong Lightning Tribulation!

Under everyone's gaze

Under the horrified gazes of Cao Ying, Dan Chen, Qing Lin, and the Four Great Elders, Shen Wen faced the destructive lightning that would make even a Dou Zong guard against it seriously.

He made a move that shocked everyone!

Instead of defending or attacking, he abruptly opened his mouth!

The power of the devouring ancestral talisman was pushed to the extreme, the profound truth of the Great Chaos Thunder Method roared within his body, and the phantom image of the Thunder Ancestral Symbol shone brightly in his Sea of Consciousness!

An invisible, terrifying suction force burst forth from his mouth.

The thick, silver pillar of lightning roaring down seemed to have encountered the Abyss of Returning Ruins.

It was forcibly pulled in and compressed all at once, like a giant whale drinking water, and entirely swallowed into Shen Wen's body!

"Boom—!!!"

The muffled sound of lightning entering his body seemed to explode inside him, and Shen Wen's entire being was instantly submerged in blinding lightning radiance.

Countless electric snakes frantically darted across his skin, emitting cracking sounds.

His clothes instantly turned to ash, revealing his muscular body, and the Azure Dragon Skin membrane beneath his surface shone brightly.

Substantial dragon scales faintly appeared, forcibly enduring the impact of this violent energy.

He floated in the air, his black hair dancing wildly in the lightning, arcs of electricity leaping around him, appearing like the descent of the God of Thunder, utterly dominant!

Silence reigned between heaven and earth.

The thunder clouds, having lost their target, unwillingly tumbled a few times before slowly dissipating.

Sunlight shone down again, illuminating the dead silent lake, the withered island, and the figures standing dumbfounded below.

The Four Great Elders froze in place, their burning Fighting Qi stalled midway, their faces filled with unprecedented shock and confusion.

The Heavenly Might they had risked their lives to resist was swallowed by this human in such an unbelievable manner?

"Where did the Queen find this person!" The Great Elder swallowed hard, beginning to feel fortunate that Shen Wen and Medusa were indeed on good terms.

Otherwise.

just as that human woman said, their entire Snake-People Clan wouldn't be enough for Shen Wen and his group to suppress.

Cao Ying clutched her chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

Immediately, her beautiful eyes sparkled with brilliance. Looking at the figure wreathed in lightning in the air, she was filled with pride and lingering fear.

"This guy... is always so reckless!"

Dan Chen and Qing Lin's mouths were wide open in a circle, their eyes filled only with boundless admiration.

"Young Master is amazing!"

"Shen Wen Ge... this ability to Devour Thunder and Scold Lightning is too powerful!"

The Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python coiled in place, its pale purple snake pupils clearly reflecting Shen Wen's figure.

Deep within the soul that originally belonged to Medusa, an indescribable stirring and complex emotion quietly spread.

Shen Wen slowly closed his mouth, and the lightning radiance on his body gradually subsided.

He felt the power of the lightning being frantically refined by the devouring ancestral talisman inside him, and joy appeared on his face.

This Heavenly Lightning Tribulation from evolution tasted much more "potent" than Pill Lightning.

Unfortunately, the Heaven and Earth energy fluctuations caused by this type of evolution are extremely rare.

If it were the Fighting Qi Continent of the past, there might have been many such instances, but now.

Medusa is likely the only case.

His gaze swept over the area below, finally landing on the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, whose aura was still weak but was no longer in mortal danger.

He spoke indifferently, his voice breaking the solidified atmosphere:

"The tribulation is over."

"Are you Medusa now, or the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python?"

Others couldn't sense it, but it goes without saying how strong Shen Wen's perception of souls was.

He could sense two distinct soul auras within the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python.

Needless to say.

One was Medusa, and the other was the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python.

This single sentence drew everyone's attention toward the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python.

However, this tiny Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python acted as if it had seen its closest relative, wagging its tail and cautiously leaning against Shen Wen.
