Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils Show Their Might!

"Old Hai, haven't you noticed that there's a living creature in the magma?"

Gazing at the fiery red world before them, Yan Lin raised a hand and pointed toward the east, where his Soul Power had detected traces of a living creature.

Hai Bodong followed Yan Lin's gesture. A grave look immediately appeared in his aged eyes as he, too, noticed something unusual within the magma.

The fire-attributed energy there seemed far more active than elsewhere, almost as though it were alive and capable of moving.

"There really is something there."

Hai Bodong narrowed his eyes and took several steps forward. With every step, frigid air rose from beneath his feet, rapidly driving down the surrounding temperature, which had been high enough to distort one's vision. When he stopped, a cold wind swept forth, and countless ice spikes had already formed at his side.

When he raised his right hand and lightly curled his fingers, the ice spikes shot toward the spot he had locked onto like a rain of arrows.

Boom!

As the overwhelming barrage of ice spikes plunged into the magma, a tremendous, piercing sound wave resembling the cry of a snake-like magical beast suddenly erupted from the previously calm magma lake.

The instant that sound wave burst from the lake, countless streams of scorching magma exploded skyward.

Amid the falling rain of molten rock, a massive creature shot out of the magma and lunged at Yan Lin and Hai Bodong with lightning speed, its jaws snapping toward them.

Its shrill howl echoed through the underground space, making their eardrums ache. Yan Lin and Old Hai had no choice but to release battle qi barriers to block the magma creature's sonic attack.

"Ice Palm!"

Hai Bodong struck first. Icy battle qi swirled around his palm, and as the magma creature charged in, he suddenly thrust his hand through the air.

An enormous Ice Palm several yards wide blasted forth. Before the magma creature could react, the massive palm struck its body. Terrifying icy battle qi exploded outward, instantly freezing more than half of its body in midair.

Only then did Yan Lin and Hai Bodong clearly see the magma creature's true form.

It was a two-headed snake four or five yards long, its entire body fiery red and nearly identical in color to the magma. Thus, it possessed a chameleon-like ability to conceal itself within the magma, making it difficult to spot with the naked eye.

At that moment, the frozen parts of its body glowed with scorching red light, hissing with steam as they rapidly melted Hai Bodong's ice.

"Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake?"

Watching the two-headed snake swiftly break free from its icy prison, Hai Bodong recognized it at once.

"This creature usually lives in places of extreme heat and feeds on magma. This unusual beast has tremendous potential for evolution. Given enough opportunity, it can even evolve into a Sixth Order Magical Beast comparable to a Dou Huang expert."

"Strange lands breed strange spirits. It seems there really are Heavenly Flames here."

Hearing Hai Bodong's words, Yan Lin's lips curled into an almost imperceptible smile. No one knew better than he did that this place contained not only the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, but also the Green Lotus Core Flame!

Of course, he could not say any of that, so Yan Lin still put on a pleasantly surprised expression.

"Old Hai, leave this big fellow to me. I'll trouble you to go down first and scout things out, see where the Heavenly Flame is. Once you find it, we can go down together and subdue it."

Hai Bodong had just been about to nod when an explosive boom sounded from the air first.

He looked toward the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, which had already shattered its icy prison and was roaring at him. The hostility, fury, and savagery in its huge diamond-shaped snake eyes were plain to see.

The Ice Emperor gave a cold smile. "That beast is yours."

The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake was comparable in strength to a fourth-order magical beast. It would not have been difficult for him to kill it.

However, since Yan Lin had taken the initiative to deal with the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, Hai Bodong was happy to take on the easier task. In any case, with Yan Lin's strength, handling that two-headed snake would be no problem.

"Mm."

Yan Lin grunted, shook his head, and stepped forward while cracking his hands together, looking ready for a fight.

Seeing Yan Lin approach, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake locked its enormous diamond-shaped pupils onto him. Its bloody maw let out another roar, and it whipped its tail as it lunged forward to tear into Yan Lin.

Yan Lin charged straight at it without the slightest fear.

The battle was about to begin!

Seeing Yan Lin restrain the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, Hai Bodong did not remain at the side to watch.

His battle qi wings abruptly spread wide. With a stomp of his foot, Hai Bodong soared into the air like a streak of light before plunging headfirst into the thick, boiling magma lake.

The instant he touched the magma lake, a battle qi barrier formed around Hai Bodong's body. While resisting the terrifying magma, he continued descending to investigate.

But after sensing Hai Bodong enter the world of magma, Yan Lin no longer fought recklessly and instead took the initiative to widen the distance between himself and the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake.

Old Hai has left. Now I can use the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils without worry.

Yan Lin retreated to the side and thought to himself.

He did not want to expose his possession of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils before Hai Bodong.

Even in the future, he would do his best not to reveal any special constitutions or bloodlines he copied.

If one person possessed too many special constitutions and bloodline powers, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.

It was a means of protecting himself.

Now that no one was around, Yan Lin had no more reservations.

He had long wanted to test his Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

Using the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils to control this Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake had been part of his plan from the moment he set out to obtain the Heavenly Flame.

Now, it was finally about to happen.

"Come on!"

Seeing the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake swing its tail and lunge at him again with lightning speed, Yan Lin made no move to defend or counterattack. Instead, he stared intently at the snake as it came at him with surging killing intent, his pale violet pupils filled with undisguised excitement and anticipation.

When the two-headed snake was only two meters away from him, Yan Lin abruptly widened his eyes. An invisible yet powerful ripple burst forth from his pupils.

At that moment, his originally pale violet snake pupils turned jade-green. Three tiny green dots appeared within those jade-green eyes.

As Yan Lin poured Soul Power into them, the three green dots instantly bloomed into three tiny green flowers.

As those strange flowers bloomed, a dazzling jade-green light shot out from them and directly enveloped the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake.

After being illuminated by that eerie glow, the two-headed snake, which had been full of hostility and killing intent toward Yan Lin, suddenly felt as though its heart had stopped beating.

Its enormous body stiffened at the same time. Intelligence remained in its two pairs of giant eyes, but they were now filled with terror.

Yet when a green flower appeared on its forehead, the fear, ferocity, and killing intent in the Fire Spirit Snake's eyes all vanished, replaced by a gentle obedience.

Seeing this, Yan Lin withdrew his Pupil Power. The eerie glow completely faded, and the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils were concealed once more, returning to pale violet pupils.

Compared with Qing Lin, his control over the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils was clearly much stronger.

At the very least, he could freely release and retract their Pupil Power, and he could control more powerful snake-type magical beasts.

This was because his Soul Power was strong enough, and he better understood how to use Soul Power to enhance the Pupil Power of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

He had gained these insights over the years while teaching Qing Lin, though they were only superficial knowledge.

He still could not perfectly control the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils and would need to explore them gradually.

Of course, it would be different if he had inherited guidance.
