Medusa and the Sky Swallowing Python

Lin Mu smiled awkwardly. "Ever since you successfully evolved, I've kept the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python by my side. I thought you would need to sleep for a while longer."

Medusa looked around at the sea of green flames, her red lips parting slightly. "It was precisely because you kept the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python with you that it unknowingly absorbed the aura of this special flame within your body."

"And just now, combined with the energy of the green flames around us, it allowed me to awaken temporarily."

Lin Mu froze. "Only temporarily?"

Medusa nodded. "The Sky Swallowing Python's slumber should continue for some time, but this evolution has indeed brought considerable benefits. That Seven-Colored Spirit Flame seems to have completely fused into my body."

"Perhaps once the Sky Swallowing Python stabilizes, my strength may directly reach the level of a five-star Dou Zong."

Hearing this, Lin Mu said enviously, "A five-star Dou Zong... By then, no one in the Jia Ma Empire will be your match."

He had not expected Medusa to receive such an enormous boost.

Medusa gave a soft snort. "And I've discovered that the Sky Swallowing Python seems to be gradually evolving as well. Perhaps when I awaken from my slumber, it will exist as an independent entity."

"An independent entity? Like your accompanying divine beast?"

Lin Mu was surprised. This was indeed something he had never expected.

The Seven-Colored Spirit Liquid combined with the Seven-Colored Spirit Flame had not only allowed Medusa to evolve successfully, but had also completely separated her from the Sky Swallowing Python. The two would no longer share a symbiotic relationship; both would become independent entities.

"If the Sky Swallowing Python becomes independent from you, then your true form..."

Lin Mu had some doubts.

What if Medusa's true form evolved into a human...

"My true form is also a Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python. I'm surprised by this unusual situation as well, but in any case, it does no harm."

"I was originally worried whether the Sky Swallowing Python's soul would affect me after the evolution succeeded. It seems that won't happen now."

Medusa shook her head, then glanced at Lin Mu. "I should continue sleeping. Don't die in this damn place, or I definitely won't forgive you."

As she spoke, Medusa transformed into a streak of colored light and entered Lin Mu's body, once more becoming the little colored snake from before. Only after seeing the beauty leave did Lin Mu finally let out a sigh of relief.

With such a peerless beauty standing before him, he could not be sure whether he would have been able to restrain himself.

"I never expected Medusa and the Sky Swallowing Python to be able to separate directly. When that time comes, the Sky Swallowing Python should also become a powerful magical beast."

Lin Mu could not help but sigh. It seemed that under his influence, the course of this world had already begun to change subtly. The most obvious changes were naturally Medusa and Xiao Yi Xian.

But this was not the time to think about that. Lin Mu continued maintaining his invisibility as the absorption of the Chaos Green Lotus Flame had reached its most critical stage.

"It seems to have calmed down, but what was that strange aura just now? It didn't seem to belong to Lin Mu. Instead, it felt somewhat like that Snake People Race's Queen Medusa..."

Outside, Yun Yun spoke softly.

Earlier, she had sensed an exceptionally powerful aura, and she had encountered that aura once before.

Queen Medusa?

But why would the mighty Queen Medusa be following Lin Mu?

Yun Yun could only assume that she had sensed it incorrectly.

"It looks like the most dangerous stage has passed. It's time to leave."

As Yun Yun spoke, she turned around and spread her Dou Qi Wings. Just as she was about to return and find the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, she caught sight of a figure flashing through the distant sky.

Yun Yun frowned slightly, but still pursued the figure.

"Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, what are you doing here?" Yun Yun asked in a deep voice.

"This King was merely curious about what that human is absorbing. What, don't think that breaking my Purple Crystal Seal makes you my opponent."

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King snorted coldly.

"Then let's find out."

Yun Yun replied coldly as a green Dou Qi gale began to gather.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was naturally furious. Earlier, while Lin Mu was here, he had not dared attack Yun Yun. But now that Lin Mu was absorbing that strange thing, Yun Yun had provoked him again and again.

If he still did not make a move, even he would look down on himself!

"Roar!"

Purple flames surged forth, burning through the air as they descended from the sky and engulfed Yun Yun.

But just as Yun Yun was preparing to strike, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's expression suddenly changed drastically. His gaze snapped toward his nest. "Damn it! Someone else is actually after the Purple Spirit Crystal!"

"You're courting death!"

Watching the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King turn into a streak of light and leave, Yun Yun was utterly confused. After glancing at Lin Mu's location, she resolutely followed the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

"Human, hand over the Purple Spirit Crystal!"

When the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King returned, he happened to see Xiao Yan running out of his cave, carrying the aura of the Purple Spirit Crystal. The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King looked into the cave, but there was no movement whatsoever!

"Roar!"

Thinking that something might have happened to his child, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King instantly flew into a rage. His enormous claws gathered an overwhelming blaze of purple light before crashing down toward Xiao Yan below.

"This damned Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, how did he get back so fast?!"

Xiao Yan turned and cursed. A pair of bone-white Dou Qi Wings suddenly formed behind him, causing his speed to surge as he shot into the sky.

Worried about his child, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King did not immediately pursue Xiao Yan. When he returned to the cave, he found that his child had merely fallen unconscious, and only then did he let out a deep breath of relief.

At the same time, high in the air, just as Xiao Yan thought he was safe, a streak of green sword light suddenly appeared and blocked his path.

"Sir, would you be willing to share some of the Purple Spirit Crystal in your hands with me?"

Yun Yun spoke, her tone far from friendly.

She had thought this trip would proceed without incident, but too much time had already been wasted. She would not allow herself to return empty-handed.

This woman—if she wants it, she should go take it herself! Xiao Yan cursed inwardly.

"The Purple Spirit Crystal and the Companion Amethyst Source in the cave have already been completely taken by you. If this woman finds out, she'll probably hunt you down," Yao Lao reminded him. "I think you should give her some. It's better than letting her hold you back. Once the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King catches up, today will most likely end badly."

"It can only be this way..."

"Boom!"

A green pillar of light shot into the heavens, forming a green lotus in midair that radiated the aura of chaos. The lotus cast down Immortal Light, overflowing with an immortal aura as it spiraled around Lin Mu.

"It finally succeeded—my first Creation Flame, the Chaos Green Lotus Flame!"
