Sparring Partner, Taking Medusa as a Concubine

Above the Snake People Holy City, a furious shout rang out.

"Great Desolation Sky Swallowing Hand!"

Shen Wen thrust out his palm.

He did not possess the Great Wilderness Prison Heaven Hand, so he had created this Dou Technique by combining the Great Desolation Scripture with the operating method of the Azure Dragon Sky-Tearing Hand.

A massive palm seal blasted forth in an instant, seemingly draining all the Heaven and Earth Energy from the surroundings.

It transformed into a heart-palpitating Desolation Domain and crushed toward Medusa.

Medusa lightly raised her jade-like hand. Her vast Seven-Colored Dou Qi mixed with the Space Power she had only just mastered, becoming a dazzling yet dangerous streak that met the attack head-on.

Yet that Dou Qi, which could have torn apart an ordinary Dou Emperor,

became like a clay ox vanishing into the sea the moment it touched the palm seal.

Nearly half its power was swallowed in an instant!

The remaining palm seal still carried a desolate aura that made the skin prickle as it bore straight down upon Medusa's face.

"Break!" Medusa cried coldly, seven-colored radiance flowing around her body.

Countless condensed seven-colored little snakes appeared from thin air, hissing as they crashed into the remaining force and finally annihilated it completely.

Hai Bodong, who was watching from the side, had long since been dumbfounded. He vigorously rubbed his eyes and muttered, "I... I wasn't seeing things, was I?

Lord Shen Wen... that strike of his just now actually neutralized a Dou Zong's Space Power and Dou Qi head-on? And he even had the upper hand?"

He felt that decades of understanding were being overturned. Could a Dou Emperor really fight a Dou Zong across realms so easily?

Before he could process his shock, the situation changed again.

Azure light surged around Shen Wen's body, and one azure Dragon Mark after another emerged beneath his skin.

His right palm was instantly covered in dense, majestic azure dragon scales. His five fingers curled into claws as arcs of lightning crackled around them, gathering into destructive thunder that made one's scalp tingle.

"Watch out!"

Shen Wen gave a low shout, his body shooting forward like lightning as his right palm, covered in thunderous dragon scales, tore through the air.

With a terrifying momentum that seemed capable of ripping apart the heavens, it fiercely clawed toward Medusa!

The speed and power of the attack made Medusa's beautiful face change abruptly!

She sensed a genuine threat from this strike!

"Hiss—!"

At that critical moment, Medusa unhesitatingly revealed her true form as the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python.

A seven-colored Giant Python dozens of zhang long appeared out of nowhere, its scales gleaming with dreamlike light. Its enormous body stirred the winds and clouds, carrying the majesty of an Ancient Exotic Beast.

Her massive tail, like a seven-colored divine whip, carried the force to shatter mountains and split rocks as it lashed fiercely toward Shen Wen's thunderous dragon claw!

Screech—!

A piercing tearing sound rang out, accompanied by a pained hiss from the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python.

Those seemingly indestructible seven-colored scales were forcibly torn away by Shen Wen's Azure Dragon Sky-Tearing Hand—two of them!

Before blood could even seep out, it was evaporated by the lightning coiling around the wound.

Shen Wen pressed his advantage. His left hand shot out like lightning and grabbed the very end of the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python's enormous tail!

"Up!"

He shouted as boundless strength erupted. With one arm alone, he actually swung that incomparably massive python body into the air!

"What?!"

The Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python that Medusa had transformed into sent out an incredulous mental fluctuation.

She felt as though she had become a helpless little loach, utterly incapable of resisting that terrifying strength.

The next moment,

under countless horrified gazes, Shen Wen exerted force through his waist and abdomen.

He violently flung the dozens-of-zhang-long Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python toward an uninhabited dune in the distance as though cracking a whip!

Boom!!!

The enormous python body smashed into the dune, making the earth quake and the mountains tremble. Yellow sand soared into the sky as if a sandstorm had been unleashed.

The entire Snake People Clan Holy City fell into dead silence.

All the Snake People Clan experts watching from afar, including Dou Wang and Dou Emperor-level figures such as Kui Xing,

stood with their mouths agape, their throats dry, unable to utter a single word.

What had they just seen?

Their Her Majesty the Queen, who had just broken through to Dou Zong and transformed into an Ancient Exotic Beast... had been grabbed by the tail... and thrown away?!

Kui Xing swallowed hard, his gaze toward Shen Wen filled with awe and fear.

He quietly said to the companion beside him, "Master... is he really human?

That physical strength... is too terrifying!"

Meanwhile, Medusa, who had been flung away, had already returned to human form. She hovered in the air somewhat disheveled, her peerlessly beautiful face full of uncertainty and shock.

She had not been injured, but the shock in her Inner Heart was beyond measure.

Shen Wen's growth in strength had far exceeded her imagination.

What concerned her even more was that when those azure dragon patterns emerged across Shen Wen's body,

and he unleashed that dragon claw, a feeling of wanting to draw close to him—even submit to him—had risen uncontrollably from deep within her bloodline!

It felt like a low-ranked Demonic Beast encountering a supreme existence whose bloodline far surpassed its own.

But she was the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python!

An Ancient Exotic Beast—how noble was her bloodline?

What kind of power did Shen Wen possess that could make even her feel this way?

Shen Wen withdrew his aura. The dragon scales and lightning vanished in an instant, and he used Dou Qi Wings to fly before Medusa.

"You've only just broken through. You still need time to properly familiarize yourself with and control your new strength."

"You're still too weak. You can't even force me to use my full strength."

Shen Wen shook his head. He had thought Medusa, in her Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python form, would at least put some pressure on him.

But he had discovered that she was still too weak.

Still, the sparring over this period had brought some benefits. At the very least, he was now much more coordinated in wielding the power within his body.

"I have disappointed Master."

Medusa's red lips moved slightly.

She wanted to say that not everyone was as monstrous as Shen Wen. After all, among those of the same rank,

even among Dou Zongs,

Demonic Beasts held an advantage. And the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python she transformed into—the emperor among Demonic Beasts—was even more terrifying.

For ordinary one- or two-star Dou Zongs, dealing with the current Medusa would merely take a little effort.

Besides,

how long had it been since she evolved? Even if she wanted to turn her potential into actual strength, that still required time, didn't it?

Medusa dismissed Kui Xing and the others around them, then came to Shen Wen's side and said somewhat cautiously,

"The mistress said the ceremony will be held in two days. She will let this servant become Master's concubine..."

When Medusa spoke the words "concubine," she found them a little difficult to say. Yet a faint thrill kept rising in her heart.

It seemed that this humiliation, which only Shen Wen could witness, gave her immense pleasure.

"Mm."

Shen Wen was no longer as calm and domineering as before. After all, he had only been inexperienced not long ago, and had only just gotten a taste.

Now, there would be another devastatingly beautiful concubine.

After all, anyone who knew this world had fantasized about Medusa.

Seeing the domineering Medusa become a concubine brought Shen Wen not only physical satisfaction, but psychological satisfaction as well.

Shen Wen was no exception to such vulgarity. Naturally, he was excited.

Previously, he had even thought Medusa could become an Equal Wife.

But judging by Cao Ying's personality,

allowing Medusa to become a concubine was already Cao Ying's greatest concession. If he wanted Cao Ying to concede any further, he would have to keep raising her favorability.
