Thunder-Devouring Lightning Control

Seven-colored radiance shot into the sky, illuminating the entire Bamboo Forest Island.

The charred, shattered shell of the snake body rustled as it fell away, and a tiny snake barely a foot long, its entire body Seven-Colored, gracefully coiled out.

Its body was exquisite, its scales refracting dreamlike luster, while its pair of Pale Purple Snake Eyes were pure yet dazed.

A faint, unusual fragrance spread through the air.

"Its body is Seven-Colored, its eyes slightly purple, its body emits fragrance, its strength reaches the heavens..."

Cao Ying's beautiful eyes widened as she could not help crying out softly, "This is... an Ancient Exotic Beast, the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python?!"

Dan Chen covered her small mouth as well. "A Peerless Demonic Beast said to possess the potential to reach the Dou Saint Rank... Queen Medusa, she really succeeded!"

Qing Lin tightly clutched Dan Chen's sleeve. Her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils began to heat up uncontrollably, sending her a complicated sensation of both intimacy and fear.

She could clearly "see" what lay within that tiny Seven-Colored snake body.

It contained bloodline power as vast and unfathomable as an abyss, a noble existence at the absolute pinnacle among Snake Demonic Beasts.

However, the joy brought by this success did not last even a moment.

"Rumble!!!"

Above them, dark clouds gathered at an astonishing speed, and a heavy pressure instantly descended.

Silver serpents danced chaotically as thunder roared.

Within the lightning tribulation.

Lightning filled with an aura of destruction was frantically gathering, locking onto the newly born Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python below!

A Dou Zong Rank lightning tribulation!

At this moment, if the Green Lotus Core Flame had been full of power when it purified her bloodline back then,

There would have been no need to drag things out for so long, and she would still have retained enough strength to resist the heavenly tribulation.

But now.

Because the evolution had taken too long, it had nearly exhausted all of its strength.

Under the majestic might of the heavens, that delicate little body appeared so fragile, as though it would be torn apart by lightning the next instant.

"Her Majesty the Queen!"

The Four Elders had only just struggled out of the deathly still lake when they witnessed this terrifying sight.

They sensed the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python's threadlike aura, then looked at the dreadful lightning tribulation poised to strike above, instantly understanding their predicament.

Resolve flashed across the Great Elder's face. She exchanged glances with the other three elders, and each saw the same determination to die in the others' eyes.

"For our clan's future, for Her Majesty the Queen!"

The Great Elder shouted hoarsely, "Form the Four Snake Sacrifice Array! Let our broken bodies and souls withstand this tribulation for Her Majesty!"

Tragic yet vast Dou Qi erupted from all four of them at once. They were actually going to burn their Life Origin and forcibly construct a Flesh and Blood Barrier!

The Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python's purple snake eyes filled with anxiety.

She could sense the elders' determination, but weakness flooded over her like a tide. Even letting out a hiss was arduous.

At that critical moment.

"Shut up!"

A cold rebuke rang out, carrying unquestionable dominance.

Shen Wen, who had been standing motionless in the air, moved.

His figure transformed into a Blinding Lightning flash. Though he moved later, he arrived first, faster even than the Four Elders could burn their lives, and shot directly toward the descending Dou Zong lightning tribulation!

"Husband!"

Cao Ying's heart nearly stopped in fright. That was a Dou Zong lightning tribulation!

Before everyone's eyes.

Under the horrified gazes of Cao Ying, Dan Chen, Qing Lin, and the Four Great Elders, Shen Wen faced the destructive lightning that even a Dou Zong would have to meet with utmost caution.

He made a move that shocked everyone!

Not only did he neither defend nor attack, he suddenly opened his mouth!

The power of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol was driven to its limit, the mysteries of the Great Chaos Lightning Method thundered within him, and the phantom of the Thunder Ancestral Talisman shone brilliantly in his Sea of Consciousness!

An invisible, terrifying suction force burst from his mouth.

The thick silver pillar of lightning that came roaring down was as though it had encountered an abyss.

It was forcibly drawn in and compressed all at once, swallowed entirely into Shen Wen's body like a giant whale drawing in water!

"Boom—!!!"

The muffled sound of lightning entering his body seemed to explode within him, and Shen Wen was instantly drowned in blinding lightning.

Countless electric serpents raced wildly across his body, releasing explosive crackles.

His clothes turned to ash in an instant, revealing his muscular body as the Azure Dragon Membrane beneath his skin blazed brilliantly.

Vague, tangible dragon scales emerged, forcibly enduring the impact of that violent energy.

He hovered in the air, his black hair whipping wildly amid the lightning, arcs of electricity leaping around him. He was like the Thunder God descending upon the world, utterly overbearing!

Heaven and earth fell completely silent.

Having lost its target, the thunderclouds churned unwillingly for a few moments before slowly dispersing.

Sunlight spilled down once more, shining upon the deathly still lake below, the withered island, and the stunned figures.

The Four Great Elders stood frozen in place, their burning Dou Qi halted midway, their faces filled with unprecedented shock and bewilderment.

The heavenly might they had been prepared to resist at the cost of their lives had been swallowed by this human in such an inconceivable manner?

"Where did the Queen find someone like this?" The Great Elder swallowed, beginning to feel fortunate that Shen Wen and Medusa were indeed on good terms.

Otherwise.

Just as that human woman had said, their entire Snake People Clan would not be enough for Shen Wen and the others to suppress.

Cao Ying clutched her chest and let out a long breath.

Then her beautiful eyes shimmered as she looked at the lightning-wreathed figure in the sky, filled with pride and lingering fear.

"This guy... always does such reckless things!"

Dan Chen and Qing Lin's little mouths hung open in round circles, their eyes containing nothing but boundless admiration.

"Young Master is amazing!"

"Brother Shen Wen... this Thunder-Devouring Lightning Control ability is way too incredible!"

The Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python coiled where she was, her Pale Purple Snake Eyes clearly reflecting Shen Wen's figure.

Within the depths of the soul that had originally belonged to Medusa, indescribable palpitations and complicated emotions quietly spread.

Shen Wen slowly closed his mouth, and the lightning around his body gradually withdrew.

Feeling the lightning power within him being frantically refined by the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, delight appeared on his face.

This Heaven and Earth Lightning Tribulation from evolution tasted far more exhilarating than Pill Lightning.

Unfortunately, Heaven and Earth Energy Fluctuations caused by this sort of evolution were something one could only encounter by chance.

There might have been many such cases on the Dou Qi Continent in the past, but now.

Medusa was likely the only one.

His gaze swept over the area below before finally settling on the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, whose aura remained weak but whose life was no longer in danger.

He spoke calmly, his voice breaking the frozen atmosphere:

"The tribulation is over."

"Are you Medusa now, or the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python?"

Others could not detect it, but there was no need to mention how powerful Shen Wen's perception of souls was.

He could sense two utterly different Soul Auras within the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python.

There was no need to say more.

One was Medusa, while the other was the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python.

Those words drew everyone's gaze toward the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python.

Yet the tiny Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python swayed her tail and cautiously nestled against Shen Wen's side, as though she had seen the person closest to her.
