Hai Bodong Regains His Dou Emperor Strength

Xiao Tian's stunning talent once again left Medusa shaken. He was the strongest human genius she had ever seen.

Moreover, she was no match for him, and his pill-refining abilities were formidable as well.

She truly wondered who had raised such a little monster.

Medusa sighed inwardly. Her beautiful eyes remained fixed on Xiao Tian, and at that moment, she suddenly recalled some of the overbearing things he had done to her before.

No human had ever treated her like that!

And there was also the time his hand had accidentally touched her...

At the thought of that, Medusa quickly suppressed the anger that had been about to erupt. Fine, this Queen would not hold it against him for now.

After he helped this Queen evolve and break through to the Dou Zong realm, this Queen would definitely teach him a lesson.

Queen Medusa had never suffered a loss.

Hai Bodong swallowed. "Xiao Tian, this Breaking Misfortune Pill is far too precious."

"However, I will certainly honor what I promised."

"This is our agreement. It's only one pill," Xiao Tian said slowly.

Medusa's delicate brows furrowed slightly. He could just give away a sixth-tier pill like that? Still, that meant he was rather good at keeping his word.

What am I thinking? Who cares about him!

Realizing what she was thinking, Medusa folded her arms and blinked her long lashes, watching quietly.

Hai Bodong was deeply moved. He found an open patch of ground and sat down directly, placing the Breaking Misfortune Pill into his mouth.

Hai Bodong's body began to tremble violently. A fierce wave of ice-attributed Dou Qi erupted from within him, and wherever it passed, the rocks, sand, and withered trees around them became coated in a thick layer of ice!

When that energy reached Xiao Tian, he stood still. The frost dissipated as soon as it approached him.

Queen Medusa merely raised her hand lightly, and a streak of red energy appeared. The icy aura automatically scattered.

Such power was not worth fearing in her eyes.

Hai Bodong, whose eyes remained tightly shut, seemed not to notice the destruction he had caused. The next moment, his brows drew together as flames emerged from within his body and covered him, driving away every trace of cold from his body.

Suddenly, a hint of pain appeared on his aged face, which tightened as his body trembled. An eerie dark-cyan energy began to gather at the center of his brow.

A moment later, it formed into a tiny dark-cyan snake-shaped energy mark. The snake mark coiled around Hai Bodong's forehead, firmly sealing the surging Dou Qi within his body.

This was also why his cultivation had been sealed.

Seeing this, Medusa narrowed her eyes slightly. It really was about to be removed.

The pale-purple energy within the Breaking Misfortune Pill slowly emerged from Hai Bodong's neck and moved toward the tiny dark-cyan snake.

The purple energy and the dark-cyan snake mark remained locked in a stalemate over Hai Bodong's forehead. However, after nearly half an hour, the dark-cyan snake mark finally dimmed considerably. Clearly, the Breaking Misfortune Pill truly had a remarkable effect in restraining this seal.

In the end, aided by its suppressive effect, the purple energy forced the tiny dark-cyan snake out, sending it flying from the center of Hai Bodong's brow.

The instant the seal left his body, Hai Bodong abruptly opened his eyes. A brilliant gleam burst forth from them as the fierce aura that had been sealed for decades exploded outward!

Crack—

Under the impact of that aura, the surrounding ice instantly shattered!

Hai Bodong raised a hand and slowly floated into the air, icy coldness swirling around him. He threw back his head and laughed wildly. "Haha, this old man has finally regained the strength of a Dou Emperor!"

Violent sound waves mixed with Dou Qi spread outward.

Medusa walked over to Xiao Tian's side and looked indifferently at the excited Hai Bodong in the air. "Are you done?"

Noticing Medusa's presence, Hai Bodong froze slightly. He had been too excited by the removal of his seal and the restoration of his Dou Emperor strength. However, Medusa's gaze, which seemed to look down on everything, made him instinctively withdraw the cold aura leaking from his body before he slowly descended.

Then Hai Bodong stroked his beard and laughed awkwardly. "Haha, my cultivation was sealed for decades, and I've finally recovered it. I was too excited and couldn't hold myself back. Forgive me!"

Xiao Tian nodded. "Since Elder Hai has recovered his cultivation, you should properly consolidate it."

"The matter here has been settled. Now, we will search for the Heavenly Flame."

After all the commotion, the sky gradually brightened. Strands of golden light rose in the east, and the desert morning was somewhat chilly!

"It's getting late. Let's go!" At that moment, the Somersault Cloud in the sky swooped down at high speed.

Xiao Tian leaped onto it and flew out first.

Medusa had recovered considerably as well. Whoosh! A pair of beautiful crimson Dou Qi wings appeared behind her, scattering specks of golden light around them as streams of red Dou Qi flowed across their surface!

From the side, her perfect profile was visible. A golden earring swayed from her pointed ear, glittering brightly!

Whoosh!

Medusa shot into the sky and followed after him!

Hai Bodong withdrew his gaze and lightly clenched his fist. With a shake of his body, a pair of Dou Qi wings formed from countless ice spikes appeared behind him!

They radiated a deeply chilling gleam!

Whoosh!

Hai Bodong's figure flashed, and he appeared directly in the sky. After pausing in midair, he shot forward!

Boom! Boom!

Explosions rang out, leaving behind two enormous white rings resembling Mach cones. As Hai Bodong sped through the air, a white trail appeared behind him!

Soon, Hai Bodong spotted Medusa ahead of him and swiftly overtook her.

Seeing this, Medusa accelerated as well!

Her snake tail curled up and launched her forward with force, sending ripples through the air!

Her entire body shot forward at high speed.

Xiao Tian glanced back. He had already left the two of them far behind. Turning around, he saw two streaks of white and red light chasing one another toward him.

"Looks like I need to slow down," Xiao Tian said as he deliberately reduced his speed.

Medusa had already overtaken Hai Bodong. Her face was full of shock. That white cloud was actually so fast. Even at full speed, she could barely catch up.

At that moment, three streaks of light in the distant sky were also flying toward the Snake-People's territory.

The leader was Pill King Gu He. Lion King Yan Shi flew beside him, along with a masked figure. The three flew together.

"Everyone, thank you for your assistance this time. Once this is done, I will deliver the rewards in full."

Yan Shi laughed heartily. "Would Pill King ever fail to keep his word? How could I doubt that?"

Pill King Gu He smiled somewhat sheepishly. "There is still someone in the Jia Ma Empire stronger than me!"

"If we could invite him, this operation would surely be more secure."

But he was a seventh-tier alchemist while Gu He was only sixth-tier. Gu He truly had nothing valuable enough to offer to invite him.

When the black-clad figure heard this, he was slightly startled, then accelerated and followed after them.
