Boom!
Blazing flames surged wildly, as though they would burn all things to ash. The Purple Nether Flame Snake's body was completely engulfed by the Nether Poison Flame.
"I can't die!"
Medusa let out a shrill cry. At the brink of life and death, she suddenly recalled the method of evolving her bloodline with the aid of a Heavenly Flame.
She seized upon her final lifeline. With her last resolve, she risked everything in one desperate gamble!
Enduring the agonizing pain coursing through her body, Medusa quietly circulated the evolution method with her Dou Qi.
Su Yun's expression shifted slightly. As his hand seals changed, the flames grew even fiercer.
"Ah!"
The Purple Nether Flame Snake's body gradually melted away within the terrifying flames. Its enormous form shrank visibly, until it finally vanished without a trace.
"Queen!"
The Snake-People cried out toward the heavens.
Yue Mei stared blankly at the scene before her and murmured, "Her Majesty the Queen has left us..."
Boom!
Suddenly, dark clouds gathered high in the sky, rumbling continuously as silver lightning writhed within them. The energy of heaven and earth became utterly chaotic, raging without end.
"What happened?"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King's beastly eyes widened. It actually found itself unable to control the surrounding energy of heaven and earth.
A Dou Wang could wield the energy of heaven and earth against enemies in battle, yet it could not even mobilize it now. This showed just how chaotic the energy of heaven and earth had become.
"Teacher, did Queen Medusa die at Senior Su's hands?"
Xiao Yan hid behind a huge boulder in the desert, with only his eyes peeking out as he secretly observed the situation at the Snake-People Tribe.
Su Yun's speed while riding the Amethyst Winged Lion King was not particularly fast. With Old Yao possessing him, Xiao Yan could follow from far behind regardless of the consumption of Soul Power.
Xiao Yan had already arrived when the two sides began fighting. The Snake-People Race's experts had all focused their attention on Su Yun and had not noticed him at all.
"Something isn't right."
Old Yao's illusory figure floated in the air, his brows tightly furrowed.
"I once obtained an ancient tome. It recorded that in the Ancient Era, when certain powerful magical beasts were born or advanced, they would trigger changes in the heavens and earth.
The current situation is very similar to what was described in that ancient tome."
Xiao Yan scratched his head. "So Queen Medusa didn't die, but instead gained a tremendous benefit?"
"I don't know either... Su Yun is a figure from a thousand years ago. Perhaps he knows more about this than I do. Keep watching."
Old Yao's expression turned solemn. If Medusa had truly completed her bloodline evolution, that would be extraordinary.
If he remembered correctly, the Purple Nether Flame Snake possessed a trace of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python's bloodline!
Su Yun said calmly, "She actually succeeded."
"Succeeded at what?"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King was utterly baffled.
For once, Su Yun was interested enough to explain it to the foolish lion. "A moth flies into the fire; from death comes life.
When Medusa realized she was certain to die, she chose to make one final, desperate attempt.
She must have used some sort of secret evolution technique. With the help of my flames, she completed her evolution and recovered her life. The phenomenon in the heavens and earth appearing now is proof of that."
"But Medusa's aura has already disappeared."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King sensed carefully, yet found nothing.
Su Yun could not help but laugh. "If your senses could penetrate my flames, that would be truly remarkable."
With a sweep of his sleeve, the massive mass of jade-green poisonous fire in the sky dispersed with a roar.
A yellow wind swept over, carrying waves of black ash away. What remained behind was a slender little snake. Its body was covered in Seven-Colored Scales, while its snake eyes were a pale violet, exuding an eerie yet noble air.
"Is that Queen Medusa?"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King was astonished. This aura was completely different from Medusa's, and its cultivation even seemed to have fallen back to the Dou Wang level.
"Its body is seven-colored, its eyes are faintly violet, its flesh carries a fragrance, and its power... reaches the heavens. It is undoubtedly a Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python."
A curve appeared on Su Yun's lips. The little seven-colored snake poked its head around, its gaze pure and clear, filled with curiosity about the world like an innocent child.
The little seven-colored snake noticed Su Yun. Gently swaying its tail, it floated over to him and circled around twice.
"Come here, little darling."
Su Yun flipped his palm, and a Jade Bottle appeared in his hand. He removed its stopper, and a dense fire-attributed energy spread out.
The little seven-colored snake's crystal-clear eyes lit up. It instantly appeared in Su Yun's palm, thrust its head into the Jade Bottle, and greedily licked twice.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King felt a deep ache in its heart. This had originally been nourishment reserved for the little Amethyst Winged Lion's growth.
Yet for some reason, its master had known of this item's existence and demanded all of it.
That little snake had gotten a bargain!
"What are you feeling so distressed about?"
Noticing its emotions, Su Yun found it rather amusing. "This Sect Master is a Sixth-grade Alchemist. Do you think I would let your child go hungry?"
"Thank you, Master!"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King hurriedly replied.
Su Yun ignored it and looked toward the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, which was greedily drinking. "Little darling, you should be able to understand us, right?
Follow me, and I'll find you anything delicious you want to eat!"
A Fifth-Order Magical Beast had already developed intelligence and could communicate just like an ordinary person.
Sure enough, the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python stopped drinking. A trace of thought flashed through its eyes, and soon, as though it had made up its mind, its tiny snake body twisted and coiled around Su Yun's wrist.
"The Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python's bloodline is barely worth noticing. As a little pet, it will do."
