Earth-Rank Technique, Flame Mantra! Medusa's Fury

Feeling the pressure emitted by the brand-new flame Yao Xuan had fused from the Green Lotus Core Flame and the Yellow Mysterious Flame...

A trace of surprise also appeared in Yao Lao's eyes behind the soul barrier...

"Kid!"

"You fused the Green Lotus Core Flame and the Yellow Mysterious Flame into a new flame. That destructive power looks truly terrifying!"

"I can hardly imagine how dreadful it will become once you obtain even more Heavenly Flames and fuse them together!"

At that moment, Yao Lao stroked his beard and gave this new flame extremely high praise.

Yao Xuan slowly rose to his feet, and the red Battle Qi wings behind him emerged once more as he savored the long-lost sensation of Battle Qi Wing Transformation.

Yao Xuan could not help but smile faintly. "Uncle Chen..."

"I never expected that merely absorbing the Green Lotus Core Flame would actually help me break through to the Dou Wang level!"

"And I can feel that the Flame Mantra has now evolved to at least the level of an Earth-Rank technique..."

Yao Lao nodded. "After all, you possessed Dou Wang cultivation before cultivating the Flame Mantra. Though you dispersed your cultivation, your foundation remained..."

"Moreover, both the Yellow Mysterious Flame and the Green Lotus Core Flame are genuine Heavenly Flames. It is not surprising that they helped you return to the Dou Wang realm..."

"As for the Flame Mantra evolving into Earth Rank with merely two Heavenly Flames, that does surprise me somewhat!"

"However, I estimate that if you want the Flame Mantra to continue evolving, the number of Heavenly Flames it needs to devour will not be small..."

There was nothing wrong with Yao Lao's assessment.

The Flame Mantra had initially only been Yellow-Tier Low Grade. Now, with the Yellow Mysterious Flame, the Green Lotus Core Flame, and the energy from two additional Beast Flames...

It had evolved from Yellow-Tier Low Grade to Earth Rank, which was understandable...

After all, the Flame Mantra's evolution was like cultivation itself. When one's realm was low in the early stages, progress might come quickly!

But once one's realm grew higher, breaking through required more time and greater opportunities!

Take Dou Saint-level experts, for example. Even crossing a minor realm required enormous opportunities and long periods of accumulation!

Thus, now that the Flame Mantra had reached Earth Rank, any further evolution would follow the same principle as cultivation. The number of Heavenly Flames it needed to devour would only increase!

Yao Xuan nodded, then flashed to Yao Lao's side and spoke softly. "Uncle Chen..."

"The Flame Mantra reaching Earth Rank has already exceeded my expectations..."

"As for how many more Heavenly Flames it will take to evolve it to Heaven Rank, or even Transcendent Heaven Rank!"

"However many it needs, I will find them!"

Hearing this, Yao Lao nodded. "It is good that you have such confidence..."

"This trip into the desert now seems to have gone rather smoothly..."

"I wonder how Xiao Yan is doing now, after we have been away for so long?"

Yao Xuan looked at Yao Lao, the corners of his lips lifting slightly. "Uncle Chen..."

"Are you already missing your disciple?"

Yet the moment Yao Xuan finished speaking, Yao Lao's expression changed as he said in a grave voice:

"Kid..."

"The disturbance caused by your fused flame just now seems to have alerted an expert..."

As soon as Yao Lao's words fell, Yao Xuan also sensed an aura at the Peak Battle Emperor Realm racing toward them at full speed!

There was no need for Yao Xuan to think further about who this Peak Battle Emperor Realm expert in the Tagor Desert was. Naturally, it was Medusa of the Snake-People Tribe...

Everyone in the Jia Ma Empire said Medusa possessed peerless beauty.

Now that Medusa had come to him herself, how could Yao Xuan possibly have any reason to flee?

After all, Medusa possessed the potential to evolve into a Nine-Colored Heaven-Devouring Python, and she could instantly reach the level of a Four-Star Dou Saint in the future!

Such a promising prospect would become a great aid to Yao Xuan in the future if he could subdue her...

Thus, Yao Xuan smiled faintly.

"Uncle Chen..."

"Since a Peak Battle Emperor Realm expert has come looking for us, we cannot simply run away..."

"We should meet her, at the very least..."

Yao Lao nodded. "Fine..."

"Then let us see just how well you can control the Green Lotus Core Flame and the Yellow Mysterious Flame now..."

"From here on, unless it is a matter of life and death, I will not intervene..."

Once Yao Lao finished speaking, his soul flickered and returned to the storage ring...

Yao Lao also wanted to see what level of power the flame fused from Yao Xuan's Green Lotus Core Flame and Yellow Mysterious Flame could unleash!

Yao Xuan agreed with Yao Lao's approach as well. After all, he could not rely on Yao Lao forever. Relying on him might still be useful in the Northwest Continent, but once they reached the Central Plains, it would no longer be enough.

In short, one had to be strong oneself...

At the same time, Yao Xuan sensed that Medusa had already arrived above the cave...

Then, with a flash, Yao Xuan left the cave directly!

Yao Xuan descended through the air and landed upon the yellow sands outside the cave...

His emerald-red Battle Qi wings unfurled. Looking closely, a wisp of azure light could be seen coiling and drifting within the Battle Qi wings behind him...

And in midair, another graceful figure silently appeared!

The newcomer's features were breathtakingly beautiful, while her red robes could not conceal the alluring curves of her voluptuous body...

She was none other than Medusa, ruler of the Snake-People Tribe.

Medusa floated in midair, the enormous red Battle Qi wings behind her blotting out the sky!

The vast aura of the Peak Battle Emperor Realm instantly filled the heavens and earth...

Medusa's face was dark at that moment, her icy gaze fixed firmly upon Yao Xuan. After a moment, she finally spoke slowly:

"Impudent human, you dared trespass into the forbidden heartland of the Snake-People Tribe..."

Yao Xuan raised his eyes toward the stunning Snake-People queen standing in the air, a faint smile curling at his lips...

Facing Medusa's Peak Battle Emperor Realm pressure, Yao Xuan showed not the slightest fear. Instead, he spoke casually:

"Peak Battle Emperor Realm..."

"You must be Queen Medusa. Now that I see you, you do have a bit of beauty..."

"You are indeed somewhat different from the other Snake-People..."

Yao Xuan's disdainful words caused Medusa's Battle Qi to surge violently around her...

However, just as Medusa was about to make her move...

She suddenly caught a familiar, warm trace of flame aura emanating from the human before her...

It was precisely the Green Lotus Core Flame Medusa had searched for with all her might, intending to use it to break through the shackles of the Dou Zong realm!

At that moment, an additional layer of bone-chilling killing intent instantly covered Medusa's already dark face...

In an instant, boundless killing intent erupted from Medusa's body!

The powerful aura of the Peak Battle Emperor Realm was released without the slightest restraint!

"Human! You stole the Green Lotus Core Flame?!"

The killing intent in Medusa's snake eyes solidified as she spoke in a low voice.

Medusa was already prepared to kill the human Dou Wang before her!

In Medusa's heart, the Green Lotus Core Flame she had searched for over so long had actually been taken first by a human!

That was something she could never accept...

Thus, Medusa lightly raised her hand, and a terrifying Peak Battle Emperor Realm pressure instantly descended upon Yao Xuan...
