Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python

Deep within Medusa Temple in the Snake-People Royal City of the Tagore Desert, there was a solitary island in the middle of a clear little lake.

At that moment, two figures sat cross-legged in separate corners of the island.

On the left, an elegant and noble purple snake tail coiled beneath Medusa Queen, lifting her body high into the air. Waves of profound yet violent energy continuously surged into her body from all around, faintly squeezing the surrounding space into thin black cracks.

Above the little lake, an elderly snake-woman stood guard in each of the four directions. All four watched Medusa Queen's transformation with astonishment on their faces.

As peak Dou Emperors, the four old women could clearly sense just how terrifying the energy pouring into Medusa Queen's body was. An ordinary Dou Emperor would have long since been burst apart by such horrifying energy.

Yet Medusa Queen showed no abnormalities at all. Instead, she was like a bottomless pit, endlessly absorbing that immense energy.

As the vast energy continuously flooded into Medusa Queen's body, faint seven-colored light began to shine from that bewitching and alluring purple snake tail.

"Could it be that Her Majesty is truly about to undergo a transformation?"

One old woman murmured to herself, her eyes carrying a trace of anticipation. The Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python was an exceptionally powerful magical beast even in ancient times. If the advancement succeeded, reaching the Dou Ancestor realm would be within sight.

"Heaven truly blesses our people!"

Another old woman sighed with a soft laugh, her voice filled with relief. Heaven knew how much these old women had worried for the future of the snake-people.

Over the years, Medusa Queen had been the one supporting the snake-people in the open. While the four of them strove to break through to the Dou Ancestor realm, they also avoided fighting others whenever possible. Like snakes hibernating, they sought to prolong their lives and protect the snake-people for a few more years.

At the same time, they had to worry about Medusa Queen's safety. Most importantly, they had to make sure that the snake-people's only hope, their queen, would not be whisked away by some pretty human boy.

Heaven knew what they had felt when Yin Shi reported that Her Majesty had brought back an incomparably handsome human man. It had felt as though the sky had collapsed upon the snake-people.

What the four of them found most unbearable was that Her Majesty had directly dragged that human man back to her own Lakeheart Island. The four elders had rushed over at once, terrified that their young queen might act on impulse and fail to restrain herself.

Lust was a blade hanging over one's head. Handsome men might be pleasant to look at, but one could not become obsessed with them.

However, judging from the current situation, things did not seem nearly as bad as they had imagined. On the contrary, it appeared their queen had taken advantage of someone else.

Who could have imagined that such a breathtakingly beautiful man would appear in a desolate, godforsaken place like the Tagore Desert?

More importantly, this human man was not only devastatingly handsome, but also remarkably powerful. He had built the True Lord Hall from scratch and was even a high-tier alchemist. They had struck gold!

"Hm? Be alert. Protect Her Majesty!"

The First Elder, who had remained silent and only occasionally stolen glances at Yang Chen, suddenly turned solemn. Her ear-piercing voice, like glass being scraped, rang out beside the other three elders.

The other three elders also grew serious. Their hands continuously formed seals, sending out one special hand sign after another. Soon, after the final seal was formed, an enormous barrier enveloped the entire Lakeheart Island.

Hai Bodong's expression changed from nearby, and he hurried into the barrier. When those four old women had remained under his watchful eye, he had been at ease. But inside a barrier, who knew whether his Second Master might be bullied?

The four snake-people elders looked sharply at Hai Bodong as he appeared within the barrier, but in the end, they tacitly allowed him to remain.

Bzzzt!!

Suddenly, waves of seven-colored energy rippled out from Medusa Queen's body. Rather than dispersing into the surroundings, they circled around her.

As more and more seven-colored energy gathered, it gradually formed a seven-colored cocoon around Medusa Queen's body. As the cocoon thickened and hardened, it ultimately became a seven-colored snake egg.

"It seems Her Majesty has reached the critical moment!"

No sooner had the snake-people elder spoken than the seven-colored snake egg began to tremble gently. Then, a tiny crack appeared on the surface of the egg, which glowed with seven-colored radiance.

Crack!!

The next moment, the crack continuously widened. Something inside could faintly be seen repeatedly pushing against the eggshell.

Crack! Crack!!

Several more cracks appeared. When the shell was struck once again, it was finally forced open, revealing an enormous snake head over two feet wide. The scales on its head were a seven-colored white.

After the snake head emerged, it immediately slithered forward, pulling its entire body out of the egg. The next instant, it swallowed the entire eggshell in a single bite.

After devouring the shell, seven-colored light enveloped the winding giant snake. When the light faded, the enormous seven-colored python had vanished, leaving only Medusa Queen's figure behind.

" Hai Bodong, do you think that merely because you serve under me, you can recklessly barge into my seclusion grounds?"

Medusa Queen narrowed her eyes. Her tone was utterly uncompromising as she directly classified Hai Bodong as one of her subordinates and spoke coldly.

Hai Bodong opened his mouth, wanting to explain himself, but the moment he met those majestic yet icy eyes, all his momentum vanished. He replied in a low voice.

"In my urgency, I acted rashly. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

The previous Medusa Queen had already been someone he could not afford to provoke, much less the current one. Besides, if she truly became True Lord's wife, he would really be finished.

"Hmph! Withdraw!"

Medusa Queen gave a cold snort. If she had truly been angry, with Medusa Queen's temperament, she would have already taken Hai Bodong's head.

Hai Bodong immediately breathed a sigh of relief. There was even a trace of gratitude in the way he looked at Medusa Queen. In that case, it would not be so bad if this queen became True Lord's wife.

"Thank you for Your Majesty's magnanimity!"

Medusa Queen's actions were primarily meant for the four elders. Hai Bodong was merely the chicken used to warn the monkeys, though she had not expected to gain an unexpected benefit.
