Appearance

Queen Medusa is a regal Snake-Person woman whose bearing is consistently described as cold, dignified, and commanding. When first seen in the Snake-Person Holy City, she sits upon a throne in a luxurious purple brocade robe, with part of her purple snake tail exposed beneath it. 32

• Luxurious purple brocade robe during her first appearance. 32
• Purple snake tail in her original Snake-Person form. 32
• Proud, graceful humanoid figure when manifesting after her evolution. 75
• Appears in red when she manifests to assist Xiao Chuan against Wu Protector. 53
• After soul separation, Qi Qi's independently shaped body closely resembles her own. 164 165

Personality

Queen Medusa is proud, cold, and deeply conscious of her status as ruler of the Snake-Person Tribe. She refuses to be intimidated on her own territory and regards the tribe's welfare as her foremost responsibility. Her pursuit of the Heavenly Flame is driven not only by personal ambition, but by her belief that her advancement is necessary for the tribe's future. 32

Initially hostile toward Xiao Chuan, she reluctantly accepts a one-year wager to protect her subordinates. After witnessing his rapid growth and his willingness to assist those who do not oppose him, she honors the agreement and submits rather than break her word. 34 75 Her later conduct shows a more open and vulnerable side, particularly when negotiating for her tribe's migration and the advancement of its leaders. 88

Abilities & Skills

Snake-Person Sovereignty

As the Snake-Person Tribe's queen, Medusa commands its leaders, elders, and military forces.

• Orders Yue Mei to gather the other tribal leaders when the news of the Heavenly Flame reaches her. 32
• Her return to the Holy City causes Snake-People throughout the city to kneel in greeting. 88
• Oversees the tribe's migration after securing Xiao Chuan's support. 88

Dou Qi Combat

Before evolving, Medusa is a peak Dou Emperor whose aura overwhelms weaker cultivators.

• Shatters Yun Yun's sword strike with a wave of her hand. 32
• Her peak Dou Emperor aura pressures those below the Dou Emperor realm to kneel. 32
• After her evolution, she can manifest as a one-star Dou Ancestor to engage opponents directly. 53

Spatial Sealing

As a Dou Ancestor, Medusa can use spatial power to restrict an opponent's surroundings.

• Seals the Fallen Heart Flame's internal space, cutting it off from the lava world's energy supply. 56
• Blocks the Fallen Heart Flame seed's route of escape while Xiao Chuan refines it. 56
• Sustained spatial sealing exhausts her Dou Qi and leaves her severely weakened. 56

Evolutionary Bloodline

Medusa's path is defined by repeated evolution of her snake bloodline.

• Her original bloodline prevents further advancement beyond peak Dou Emperor without evolution. 32
• Evolves into the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python through the Green Lotus Core Flame. 33
• Uses the Nine-Colored Origin Stone and the Nine Serene Yellow Spring to evolve into a Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python. 166
• Her Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python bloodline is stated to surpass that of the Ancient Heaven Snake. 166

Dual-Soul Existence

Following her first evolution, Medusa shares the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python's body with its own innocent consciousness.

• Initially cannot fully control the evolved body because her soul has not fused with it. 33 34
• The second consciousness is later identified as innocent and pure, in contrast to Medusa's cold temperament. 157
• Xiao Chuan eventually gives the second soul an independent body through medicinal pills; she is named Qi Qi. 164

Key Items

• Ice Spirit Cold Spring — Prepared by Medusa before attempting to consume a Heavenly Flame; it protects her meridians and organs against the flame's heat. 32
• Nine-Colored Origin Stone — Ancient artifact from the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python clan's lair, used for Medusa's later evolution. 166

Relationships

• Xiao Chuan — Initially lured into a trap involving the Green Lotus Core Flame, she accepts a one-year submission wager to protect her tribe. She later acknowledges him as her master in private and relies on him to help relocate and strengthen the Snake-Person Tribe. 34 75 88
• Qi Qi — The original Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python consciousness that shared Medusa's body after her evolution. They become separate individuals after Xiao Chuan's medicinal-pill treatment. 157 164 165
• Yue Mei — Her commander and subordinate, who reports the Heavenly Flame intelligence and helps organize the tribe's migration. 32 88
• Yin Shi — A Snake-Person leader who remains concerned for Medusa's safety after her evolution and later assists with tribal affairs. 35 88
• Snake-Person Tribe Elders — Four peak Dou Emperor elders who serve the tribe; Medusa secures their acceptance of Xiao Chuan and announces the tribe's departure from the Tagor Desert. 88
• Yun Yun — Faces Medusa near Shi Mo City while attempting to delay her from claiming the Green Lotus Core Flame. 32

Story Role / Major Arcs

Green Lotus Core Flame Incident

Medusa learns that a Heavenly Flame may have appeared near Shi Mo City and personally investigates despite recognizing that the intelligence could be a trap. She sees the flame as her chance to overcome the limit imposed by her bloodline. 32

Xiao Chuan and Yun Yun pressure her into refining the Green Lotus Core Flame immediately. The attempt succeeds, transforming her into the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, but leaves her soul unable to fully control the evolved body. 33

One-Year Submission Wager

While Medusa is vulnerable after her evolution, Xiao Chuan uses the safety of her subordinates to force a bargain: she will submit for one year if he can surpass her strength, while he will submit to her if he fails. 34

Xiao Chuan fulfills the wager by reaching the Dou Venerate realm within the year. Medusa keeps her promise, formally accepting his authority and asking him to aid the Snake-Person Tribe. 75

Fallen Heart Flame Refinement

Medusa assists Xiao Chuan against the Fallen Heart Flame by sealing its internal space, removing the flame's ability to draw endless energy from the surrounding lava world. The effort depletes her strength, demonstrating both the usefulness and cost of her spatial abilities. 56

Snake-Person Tribe Migration

Medusa returns with Xiao Chuan to the Snake-Person Holy City and publicly establishes him as an honored guest. After Xiao Chuan suppresses the tribe's elders with his cultivation, Medusa announces that the Snake-Person Tribe will leave the Tagor Desert for a new territory. 88

Soul Separation and Second Evolution

Unable to permanently control the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python's soul, Medusa seeks a method of separation. Xiao Chuan ultimately administers medicinal pills that allow the two souls to become independent, with the python consciousness receiving her own body and name: Qi Qi. 130 164

Medusa later enters the Nine Serene Yellow Spring with Qi Qi and evolves into a Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, reaching the Dou Sheng realm. 166
