Medusa's Human Form

[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. Obtained the nineteenth-ranked Green Lotus Core Flame from the Heavenly Flame Ranking. Rewarded the host with the Flame Mantra.]

A mechanical voice from the system sounded in Jiang Cheng's mind. At the same time, a completed version of the Flame Mantra appeared inside his Storage Ring.

Queen Medusa walked forward, gazing at the Heavenly Flame in Jiang Cheng's hand as she asked softly, "You've obtained the Heavenly Flame. Can you fulfill our final agreement now?"

Jiang Cheng stored the Heavenly Flame in the system. If he put it in his Storage Ring, the Heavenly Flame's energy would be enough to devour everything inside without leaving a trace.

Naturally, he would not do something so foolish.

Queen Medusa's pupils contracted as she instinctively asked, "Where is the Heavenly Flame?"

"Of course, I put it somewhere safe." Jiang Cheng replied calmly, then added, "I'll find the medicinal materials needed for you to advance to Dou Zong within a year. You can rest assured about that."

Hearing this, Queen Medusa thought she had been deceived. Furious, she grabbed Jiang Cheng by the collar and demanded, "Are you playing me?!"

"When did I ever say I was playing you?"

Jiang Cheng gently pushed away Queen Medusa's right hand and replied softly, "Advancing to Dou Zong isn't difficult. It's just that the medicinal materials required are somewhat hard to obtain. But since I promised to get them within a year, I naturally won't break my word."

"Why should I believe you again?"

Queen Medusa's eyes reddened, and a mist of tears rose within her dazzling pupils. She had endured far too much hardship to reach the Dou Zong realm. Now, to break through the Dou Emperor barrier, she had willingly handed over the Heavenly Flame—yet what she received in return was another year of waiting.

Seeing Medusa's resolute expression, Jiang Cheng shook his head. He asked himself honestly and realized that he had never intended to deceive Medusa. The pain of being burned by a Heavenly Flame required tremendous resolve to endure.

Moreover, she had ultimately failed to devour the Green Lotus Core Flame. She had only managed to advance to Dou Zong by activating the bloodline of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.

So all her efforts had merely become a wedding dress for that man.

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng could only do it this way. He cut open his finger, and a drop of dazzling golden blood fell from it.

Taking advantage of the moment, Jiang Cheng immediately flicked the falling blood into Queen Medusa's mouth. Its immense power was like an endless river, surging without cease.

Not only that, the blood that entered her mouth transformed into an incomparably violent energy that suddenly swept through her.

At the same time, Queen Medusa sensed that something was wrong. Golden light began to emanate from her body in visible waves, followed by heart-wrenching pain. Medusa fell to the ground and let out a miserable scream.

The Experts throughout the Snake People Tribe heard the piercing scream. Yue Mei, especially, was worried and wanted to rush forward, but the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong blocked her path.

Dense Golden Light shot into the sky, and its surging power swept through the depths of the Tagor Desert like Surging Waves.

"Without my permission, none of you will get through."

Yin Shi Great Elder's gaze turned savage as he said, "Hai Bodong, we settled our grudges long ago. Do you still want to face the Snake People Tribe's punishment now?!"

"Or do you want to repeat the same mistake and die at the hands of the Snake People Tribe!"

The Ice Emperor Hai Bodong glanced below. Though he did not know what Jiang Cheng was doing inside, since he had come here with him, he had no intention of allowing the Snake People Tribe to interfere with Jiang Cheng's plans again.

Several ice dragons poked their heads out from the void, and the Ice Emperor's eyes turned icy blue. "I don't think I'll die here today. Besides, I've never felt this refreshed before!"

In an instant, heaven and earth changed color. Sand filled the air, and goose-feather snow actually began to fall within the scorching desert.

The Eight Great Leaders of the Snake People had all assumed attacking stances. The Queen's fate was still unknown, and now the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong had blocked their path. Only by killing him could they save Your Majesty!

Yin Shi Great Elder roared almost madly, "Kill him!"

"Courting death!"

At the center of the small island, the golden radiance around Queen Medusa gradually dimmed.

The great snake lying on the ground suddenly disappeared, replaced by a woman with an exceptionally beautiful figure!

Her multicolored dress outlined breathtaking curves, making her incomparably seductive. Her features were equally enchanting, her phoenix eyes glimmering with charm, while her voice carried an additional trace of allure.

But what was suffocating was that the woman before him was practically unclothed. The violent energy generated by Jiang Cheng's blood had burned her clothes to ashes, and a breeze left her completely bare.

Queen Medusa awoke from her unconsciousness. Upon seeing that she was unclothed, she immediately curled up, using both hands to cover the important parts of her body.

She cried out, "What did you do to This King?!"

Jiang Cheng took out a clean set of clothes from his Storage Ring and draped them over Queen Medusa's body. "The essence blood of a Dou Saint Expert contains immense energy. It was enough to evolve you into human form while awakening the bloodline of the Ancient Magical Beast, the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, within you. Although it can't allow you to break directly into the Dou Zong realm, you can be considered a Half-Step Dou Ancestor now."

"Only by fully becoming human will you have a chance to break through to Dou Zong."

Queen Medusa looked at her slender legs and immediately put on the clothes. Her build was nearly identical to Jiang Cheng's, so they fit her remarkably well.

"I never expected your blood to have such an effect. This King is truly surprised." Queen Medusa smoothed the wrinkles in her clothes. "However, This King does not enjoy dressing as a man. Let's go back quickly. This King wants to change into her own clothes."

Jiang Cheng nodded. It was indeed time to leave; otherwise, Hai Bodong would probably be beaten to death by the Eight Great Leaders of the Snake People.

After an intense battle, Hai Bodong was clearly running out of strength. His body slammed into the ground, the Ice Halberd in his hand already broken. He looked exceptionally disheveled as he cursed,

"Jiang Cheng, you bastard! After this is over, you'd better give me more pills, or it'll be a disgrace to Old Man's desperate efforts to protect you."

Seeing that the Ice Emperor was injured, Mo Bass gave a sinister laugh. His body shot a hundred meters into the air like a spring, and the two massive cleavers in his hands came crashing down at the Ice Emperor like the Noxian Guillotine.

"Too noisy."

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.

A figure appeared abruptly before Hai Bodong at some unknown moment. With nothing more than an Understated extension of his right hand, he blocked Mo Bass's fatal strike!

Mo Bass's expression changed drastically. Before he could react, he was sent flying backward like a kite with its string cut. After tracing a perfect arc through mid-air, he slammed steadily into the ground.

Dust flew everywhere.

"You cunning human!" Yin Shi Great Elder looked at Mo Bass beneath his feet, gritting his teeth in fury. He wished he could loosen this human's bones right then and there.
