Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake

Liu Xi looked at the constantly churning Magma World below and excitedly pursed his lips. "Finally found it."

The fiery-red magma in the Magma Lake rolled and churned. Occasionally, a bubble would rise and burst with a hiss, releasing a cloud of white, highly toxic smoke that sent chills down one's spine.

Only a terrifying forbidden land born naturally from heaven and earth could nurture something as dreadful as a Heavenly Flame!

Crimson Flame coiled around Liu Xi's body, shielding him from the terrifying heat and toxic fumes. If he had not possessed the cultivation of a Dou Wang, he would hardly have remained so calm before nature's vast and mighty power.

Although Qing Lin in his arms was also protected by his Dou Qi, a slightly chilling Strange Energy continuously surged from within her body, helping her adapt to this environment. Sensing the changes in Qing Lin's body, Liu Xi finally relaxed.

Liu Xi looked at Qing Lin in his arms and thought, This magma is bottomless. If I search bit by bit with soul power, who knows how many days it will take. It all depends on whether Qing Lin can successfully awaken the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils and control the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake living in this magma. With it leading the way, things will be much easier.

Liu Xi soon found a crack in the surrounding lava wide enough to stand on. His figure flashed like lightning, and he crossed the distance in an instant. Setting Qing Lin down in the crack, he said gently, "Stand here and wait for me! Be careful!"

Qing Lin nodded softly and said to Liu Xi, "Qing Lin will behave herself. I won't cause trouble for Young Master!"

Liu Xi smiled and nodded. Then he returned to the magma, releasing the powerful aura of a Dou Wang without restraint, like a torch in the dark night, intending to lure out the Magical Beast in the Magma Lake.

Suddenly, Liu Xi sensed a powerful aura gathering beneath him. He immediately lowered his head and looked down.

In one spot, a huge number of bubbles suddenly began to rise. Amid a series of hissing bursts, a Blood-Red Flame Energy Pillar mixed with magma erupted and shot toward Liu Xi in the air.

Naturally, such an attack could not hit Liu Xi. With a flap of his wings, he easily dodged aside. Yet that assault seemed to trigger something, and Blood-Red Flame Energy Pillars began firing at him one after another.

Liu Xi relied on his Dou Qi Wings to evade nimbly, but the lava ceiling could not dodge. Struck by the Flame Energy, vast sections of lava shattered in an instant, becoming fragments of varying sizes that fell into the magma below. Wave after wave of magma splashed upward, and the scene immediately descended into chaos.

Within the magma, the enormous Magical Beast seemed to realize that ordinary attacks could not harm Liu Xi. After letting out a hiss, it finally burst from the magma and lunged at him.

The creature that suddenly emerged from the magma was an enormous Serpentine Magical Beast. At a glance, it was at least forty to fifty feet long. Its entire body was fiery red, and from afar, it resembled a smooth piece of Fire Jade. Scarlet Scales the size of palms densely covered its snake body. Most remarkable of all was its head—it had two... At the fork of its neck were two ferocious heads, their enormous Rhombus Pupils filled with berserk, bloodthirsty killing intent.

Looking at the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake that had finally stopped hiding and revealed itself from the magma, Liu Xi sneered. "Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake. It usually grows in places of extreme heat, surviving by devouring magma and continuously becoming stronger. It has enormous potential for evolution. At birth, it is already a First-order magical beast. Given enough fortune, it may evolve into a Sixth-order Magical Beast comparable to a Dou Emperor expert. Tsk, tsk. But you are still only a Fourth-tier Magical Beast. If not for your presence, I would not have dared come for the Green Lotus Core Flame before breaking through to Dou Wang."

Watching the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake open its bloody maw and lunge at him with its ferocious heads, Liu Xi sneered and began retreating. At the same time, he raised his right hand. A Crimson Flame appeared in his palm, steadily expanding into a sphere before he flung it at the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake.

The fireball smashed directly into one of the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's heads, immediately halting its charge. Under the double assault of the chilling and scorching aura contained within the Crimson Flame, the fiery-red scales on its head shattered one after another. Red blood continuously flowed out, only to vaporize in the surrounding heat and drift away as smoke.

The struck head of the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake immediately let out a miserable howl. But it had two heads, and the intense pain only stirred its savagery. Its rhombus-shaped snake eyes became even more frenzied. The other head, driven by pain, thrust out its Scarlet Trident-shaped Tongue like a snake spear, stabbing toward Liu Xi.

Liu Xi immediately flapped his Dou Qi Wings and retreated rapidly. Looking at the increasingly crazed Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, his expression finally grew more serious. He muttered, "As expected of a creature with such a powerful body that it can survive in magma. It is only a Fourth-tier Magical Beast, yet although it looks badly injured after being scorched by my Crimson Flame, its bones and tendons were not harmed. In this Magma World, it is even more at home than a fish in water. If my Fire Attribute Dou Qi were not completely unaffected here, other Dou Wangs of different attributes truly would have no way to deal with you!"

The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake glared at the rapidly retreating Liu Xi with scarlet eyes, but it did not immediately pursue him. Instead, it summoned a Deep Red Sea of Fire from the magma, which swirled above the molten surface.

Boom! The Deep Red flames filling the sky suddenly began spinning at high speed. A violent howling sound continuously echoed throughout the enormous cavern.

As the rotation intensified, the surrounding flames suddenly writhed. More than ten Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snakes condensed entirely from Flame Energy leisurely emerged from within the fire.

These ten Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snakes were not much smaller than the original. Dozens of enormous pupils gleamed with ferocity as they fixed their gaze on Liu Xi at the center. After circling one another briefly, they suddenly let out a simultaneous roar. Their piercing cries echoed relentlessly through the cavern, ear-splittingly sharp.

As the roar sounded, the dozen or so Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snakes formed entirely from blazing flames suddenly arranged themselves into a fiery formation. Then, carrying temperatures hot enough to vaporize the air, they charged at Liu Xi in the center from all directions.

More than ten enormous creatures, each dozens of feet long, flew through the cavern and launched their attacks. The sight was truly spectacular. Of course, beneath that spectacle lurked a deadly danger.

Watching the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snakes crash toward him from every direction, a flash of admiration passed through Liu Xi's eyes. He said, "A Fourth-tier Magical Beast, enhanced by this Magma World, can actually unleash power comparable to a mid-level Dou Wang. But this is as far as you go. Who told you to be a Fire Attribute Magical Beast too?"

Boom! Amid an earth-shaking explosion, the dozen or so Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snakes collided almost simultaneously at the center. The instant they touched, they exploded completely. Violent energy spread outward in ripples, sending the Magma Lake, which had only just calmed somewhat, into another mad churn.

"Young Master!" Seeing Liu Xi completely swallowed by the Deep Red flames, Qing Lin looked at the fire filling the sky and cried out anxiously.

At the center of the explosion, Liu Xi was surrounded by a mass of Crimson Flame. No matter how violently the Deep Red flames outside erupted, they were kept at bay by the Crimson Flame. Not only that, the heat released by the Deep Red flames was continuously seized and absorbed by the Azure Halo on the surface of the Crimson Flame, endlessly feeding it back into the fire.

Before long, Liu Xi's figure slowly emerged from the area enveloped in Deep Red flames. As he appeared, the red fire surrounding him continuously dissipated.

When the Deep Red flames had completely dispersed, only a Blazing White Flame remained coiling around Liu Xi. That was right—after all the Deep Red flames had been seized and absorbed by Liu Xi's Crimson Flame, its temperature seemed to have broken past its former limit. The originally crimson fire had transformed into Blazing White, and Liu Xi, surrounded by Blazing White Flame, looked like a god of fire.

Now that Liu Xi had fully revealed himself, he saw that the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake before him had shock written across both pairs of enormous snake eyes.

A teasing smile curled across Liu Xi's lips as he said to the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, "Surprised?"

Without waiting to see its reaction, Liu Xi flapped his Dou Qi Wings and shot in front of the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake like lightning. He swung his palm through the air and shouted, "Blowing Fire Palm!"

Liu Xi's Crimson Flame, now transformed into Blazing White, flowed like water toward his hand. With the movement of his palm, it formed Blazing White Palm Seals. Before the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake could evade, every palm seal struck its body amid its despairing gaze.

Puff, puff, puff! The fiery-red snake scales of the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake shattered one after another until its entire body was a bloody mess. Its eyes went vacant as it fell toward the magma below like a dead snake.

Liu Xi still needed the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake to lead the way, so how could he allow it to fall into the magma? His figure flashed, and he appeared at its Snake Tail. Grasping the tail with both hands, he carried the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake to Qing Lin's location and threw it onto a piece of lava sturdy enough to stand on.

Bang! Bang! The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's two heads slammed onto the lava, raising clouds of dust. Its body and Snake Tail fell into the magma, splashing up two enormous waves that spread outward on both sides.

After tossing down the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, Liu Xi dusted off his hands before flying back to the crack where Qing Lin stood. Just as he was about to speak, Qing Lin ran toward him and threw her arms around him, choking out, "Young Master, you scared me to death just now. I was so worried about you."

Looking at Qing Lin crying so pitifully, Liu Xi gently rubbed her hair and said softly, "Aren't I fine? Your Young Master is strong!"

"It's all because Qing Lin is useless." Before Qing Lin could finish, Liu Xi picked her up and flew toward the lava where the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake lay.

Liu Xi said gently, "I need Qing Lin's help now! I told you your eyes are beautiful, and you can use them to communicate with that Magical Beast from earlier. What I am looking for is beneath the magma, and this Magical Beast definitely knows the location. In a moment, pour the Dou Qi in your body into your eyes. Become 'friends' with it, then have it lead the way for me."

The two landed on the lava. Qing Lin turned to look at the two ferocious snake heads ahead of her, stepped forward, and guided the tiny amount of Dou Qi in her body into her eyes. I have to help Young Master.

When Qing Lin's Dou Qi entered the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, Three Green Light Spots indeed appeared within her Pale Green Eyes. The light spots emitted a faint Eerie Halo, but no further change occurred.

After a while, Qing Lin's Dou Qi was completely exhausted, yet she still failed to truly awaken the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils. But she did not give up. She continued glaring intently at the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake before her, still unable to find the feeling of communicating with it. Her expression became dejected, and she said in a trembling voice, "Young Master, I... I'm sorry."

Liu Xi's gaze grew distant as he thought, According to the Original Plot, the awakening of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils has nothing to do with whether she possesses Dou Qi. Is the stimulation not enough?

Liu Xi walked behind Qing Lin, placed both hands on her slender shoulders, and slowly bent down beside her ear. Breathing softly, he said, "Qing Lin, don't disappoint me."

Feeling his warm breath by her ear and hearing Liu Xi's voice, Qing Lin's pretty face instantly turned crimson. Her mind went blank, leaving only one thought. I can't disappoint Young Master. I can't disappoint Young Master. I can't disappoint Young Master.

At that moment, Qing Lin suddenly felt her body grow warm, as though a thread of Strange Energy had flowed through her. She had never experienced such a feeling before. Qing Lin came back to her senses and grew excited. For some reason, she suddenly knew what she had to do and shouted, "Come out!"

Amid that sharp cry, the Three Green Light Spots in Qing Lin's eyes suddenly shone with a brilliant eerie light. In an instant, the three spots transformed into three tiny Green Flowers...

As the strange Green Flowers emerged, a powerful eerie glow suddenly shot out from them, enveloping the Fire Spirit Snake before her.

The strange glow slowly moved across the Fire Spirit Snake's body before finally stopping at the center of the foreheads of its two heads... Once the glow stopped moving, it began slowly shrinking. Yet as its range grew smaller, the light it contained became increasingly brilliant.

The glowing area continued shrinking until it was only palm-sized. When it had shrunk to that size, it stopped. With another burst of eerie light, two tiny Green Flowers were imprinted upon the Fire Spirit Snake's two heads.

After the flowers appeared, the eerie glow gradually faded. Moments later, the tiny flowers in Qing Lin's eyes rapidly dispersed, and in an instant, her eyes returned to their former pale green...

Once her eyes returned to normal, Qing Lin's body swayed. Her eyelids gradually drooped, and she finally collapsed into Liu Xi's arms.
