53: Medusa evolved successfully

Deep within the Snake-People Tribe's Sacred Hall — Lake Heart Island.

Medusa, with a human head and snake body, writhed in the lake water, which rippled and was lifted by Medusa, only to flow down her body the next moment.

On the dim lake water, Medusa’s wet body appeared even more alluring… At this moment, Medusa’s mind was calm, dancing in the lake water, following her heart’s guidance, praying for the adventure she was about to embark on… “Ancestors of all generations, please bestow wisdom and strength upon me… I will lead the Snake-People Tribe back to its Peak!”

After the dance, Medusa, naked, swam out of the lake and then directly transformed into her Demonic Beast Origin body.

Clothes would instantly turn to ash when facing an abnormal flame, so what difference did it make whether she wore them or not!

Her snake body slowly glided to the center of Lake Heart Island, where a vibrant Green Lotus Core Flame resided… Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the lotus was formed from flame, and as it burned, ripples spread out around it… Medusa’s form stopped before the abnormal flame, gazing at it, yet she hesitated to act!

Even Alchemists, with ample preparation, faced a near-certain death when absorbing an abnormal flame; she, however, was going to use the abnormal flame to evolve, a far more perilous endeavor!

Bang!

Boom! Boom!

“I’ve long heard of Queen Medusa’s fierce reputation, and the interesting matter of evolving with an abnormal flame happens to coincide, so I’ve come to observe the ceremony. Why doesn’t the Queen come out to welcome me!”

Just as Medusa was staring at the abnormal flame in a daze, Xiao Lei’s flippant voice echoed from the vast underground space.

“Who is this person! When did the Jia Ma Empire gain such a powerful expert!”

Medusa was alarmed; her Soul Strength was completely Sealed, unable to perceive the slightest external situation!

Medusa didn’t even have the presence of mind to care how Xiao Lei knew about her evolution with the abnormal flame, because the rumbling sound above her head never stopped!

Boom! Boom!

Medusa could already imagine a scene where a mysterious expert slaughtered her tribesmen above, and her tribesmen fought desperately to protect her!

“Human Race!”

“You drove my tribe into this scorching desert, yet you still refuse to let us go!”

The Snake-People Tribe suffered from the cold, yet they had to live deep in this desert year-round. The wish of every Medusa throughout history was to lead her tribe out of this desert and seek a habitable land!

By her generation, she finally had the ability to contend with the Jia Ma Empire, but to migrate, it was still far from enough!

Dou Zong!

Medusa’s goal, for which she had strived for countless years, and her only hope at this moment, was right before her eyes.

“Human Race, if I succeed in evolving, I will repay this day’s grudge in full!”

With hatred and determination, Medusa resolutely took the risk!

Queen Medusa, resolute her entire life, never yielded. She would make the most heroic sacrifice for the future of her tribe!

Her hands slowly dropped from her shoulders, quickly forming a series of hand Seals before her… As the ritual progressed, a small purple snake slowly emerged from Medusa’s originally massive snake body… Above the Sacred Hall, Xiao Lei held Hua Sha’er in one hand and Yue Mei in the other, completely Sealing their Dou Qi. As for Mobas… he was firmly restrained on the ground by a Mystic Ice Python.

Freeing a hand, Xiao Lei casually sent out another stream of Dou Qi, striking the ground, causing a huge tremor, but not killing any of the Snake-People Tribe members.

After all, Xiao Lei wasn't there to kill; these Snake-People had not actively provoked Xiao Lei.

“Has it begun!”

As if sensing something, Xiao Lei quickly stopped. His actions were merely to prompt Medusa to begin her evolution.

Deep within the Sacred Hall, as the abnormal flame landed on her snake body, Medusa writhed in a strange posture. Her originally intact snake scales rapidly cracked under the scorching of the abnormal flame, bleeding and then quickly being burned dry by the abnormal flame!

At this moment, even with Medusa’s resilient nature, she couldn’t help but let out a scream!

Bang!

After prolonged scorching, Medusa’s snake body was almost unable to hold on. All the Ice Spirit Cold Spring water in the entire pool was used up, yet there was still no trace of evolution in Medusa’s Bloodline.

Profound despair!

“I must succeed!”

With determination, Medusa resolutely swallowed the Green Lotus Core Flame before her!

“After all, she’s a future Dou Saint-level combatant; it would be too regrettable for her to die here!”

Within the vast Lake Heart Island, a faint, lingering voice suddenly resounded. The next instant, a blood-red flame shot forth.

Bang!

The Purple-Gold Profound Flame Snake’s body exploded, leaving only the blood-red flame constantly pressing against the Azure Flame.

“Queen!”

With a mournful shriek, Yue Mei and Hua Sha’er’s eyes were practically splitting, only because, in their perception, Medusa’s aura had vanished… Seeing this, Qing Lin could only cover her ears, trying her best not to listen. Although she didn't understand why Xiao Lei would do this, she would always unconditionally trust her young master!

“Teacher, what’s going on? What’s happening here?”

Xiao Yan’s Soul Strength was actually not weak, but at this moment, there were too many high-level cultivators, and with various Soul Strength colliding, Xiao Yan was completely unable to obtain any effective information.

Yao Lao did not appear but explained in Xiao Yan’s mind, “That Queen Medusa’s Bloodline evolution seems to have failed, at least… I can no longer sense her aura!”

“Evolving Bloodline, can a Demonic Beast’s Bloodline actually evolve? Teacher, why didn’t you tell me last time you came?”

Xiao Yan showed a surprised expression. In his understanding, a Demonic Beast’s Bloodline was like a person’s talent, unchangeable!

“Actually, I wasn’t very sure back then either. After all, such a crazy thing as abnormal flame evolution is truly somewhat shocking; I had only heard of it, never seen it!”

“And even if I had told you back then, it wouldn’t have made much difference; you would still have had to run!”

Speaking of this, Yao Lao also felt a bit helpless. His condition was still too poor; if he had even one or two tenths of his strength from before his death, why would he be so constrained by others!

Within Lake Heart Island, Xiao Lei waved his hand to part the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, then casually set up a Soul barrier, revealing a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python lying quietly in the center of the flames.

At the last moment, Xiao Lei used the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire to protect Medusa’s Soul, which saved her from dying.

One could only say that although the process had some twists and turns, the outcome was ultimately good.

Its entire body was covered in seven-colored snake scales, and just by getting slightly closer, Xiao Lei seemed to be able to smell a faint fragrance emanating from it.

“Its body seven-colored, its pupils slightly purple, its body fragrant, its power reaching the heavens — Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python!”

At this moment, even this newborn Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python exuded an alluring and noble aura, with a faint pressure spreading out.

Confirming that the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python’s condition was fine, Xiao Lei’s left hand slightly clenched towards the location of the Green Lotus Core Flame.

Roar!

A Fire Dragon shot out from his hand, directly pouncing on the Green Lotus Core Flame.

The Fire Dragon slightly opened its mouth and swallowed the Origin of the Green Lotus Core Flame in one gulp, and the blood-red flame immediately enveloped the Green Lotus Core Flame.

“A future Dou Saint-level combatant, an abnormal flame; today is another great harvest!”

Without rushing to awaken the little snake, Xiao Lei instead increased the output of the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, surrounding the seven-colored little snake.

Every abnormal flame has its unique ability, such as the Fallen Heart Flame, which can constantly refine Dou Qi and has a powerful suppressive effect on Soul bodies.

The Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, on the other hand, can enhance the owner’s physical constitution and help Demonic Beasts slowly improve their Bloodline.

It is conceivable that Medusa’s talent will be even stronger than in the original work!

Seizing this opportunity, Xiao Lei turned his gaze to the seven-colored little snake; he wanted to try if this state could be replicated!
