Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake

Standing before a sand dune, Lei Luo could not help but feel his blood heat up.

The Heavenly Flame was right before his eyes. How could he not be excited?

Staring at the dune before him, Lei Luo raised his leg and stomped down hard. Under the force of his powerful strength, the sand began to shift.

He soon noticed that the sand was flowing faster in one particular spot.

Gathering his battle qi, he struck down with his palm. The yellow sand there was blasted away, and moments later, a pitch-black hole appeared before Lei Luo.

Lei Luo stared at the cave mouth that seemed ready to devour anyone who entered. After hesitating for a long while, he still decided to go down.

You couldn't catch a wolf without risking the bait. Besides, if he did not investigate, he would not even know whether the Heavenly Flame was still there.

If it was gone, he could at least think of a way to deal with it rather than remain completely passive.

After examining the bottom of the hole, Lei Luo leaped straight in.

His body rapidly descended. To his surprise, beneath the layer of yellow sand was nothing but solid rock.

This passage seemed to have been formed by the powerful energy shockwave released when the Green Lotus Core Flame erupted.

The walls were extremely smooth, clearly not something that could have been excavated by human hands.

Lei Luo fell at a tremendous speed, with fierce wind whistling past his ears.

Suddenly, he bent slightly, then sprang forward and landed steadily on the ground.

After setting foot on the ground, Lei Luo took out a moonlight stone.

By the moonlight stone's glow, he finally saw the underground cavern in its entirety.

And it gave him quite a headache.

Looking at the dozen or so passage entrances before him, Lei Luo could not help but hesitate.

He was not Qing Lin, nor did he possess her bloodline-based sensing ability toward Queen Medusa. He could not tell which passage was the right one.

After standing there for a while, Lei Luo willed the Yin-Yang Twin Flames into existence.

He split them into more than a dozen wisps of flame and sent them into the passages under his control.

Carefully sensing the changes in those flames, his gaze finally settled on one passage entrance after a long while.

With a beckoning gesture, he recalled the flames and strode inside.

The reason he could determine the direction was mainly because Heavenly Flames were beings of the utmost yang and hardness between heaven and earth.

They possessed a natural repulsion toward, and purifying effect upon, cold and gloomy auras.

That was the main reason Lei Luo had been able to identify the direction.

But this was not good news.

The lingering traces of that aura meant Queen Medusa had already been here.

Although he no longer held much hope, Lei Luo still decided to go in and take a look.

At worst, he could collect the lotus platform and lotus seeds. That would still count as a gain.

As for how to seize the Green Lotus Core Flame, that would be a matter for later.

Following the smooth, delicate passage onward, a crimson glow finally appeared before Lei Luo.

At the end of the passage was an enormous cavern filled with flowing fiery magma.

Huge bubbles continuously rolled and burst without warning, sending ripples across the magma's surface.

Lei Luo did not act rashly. Instead, he became even more cautious.

After all, there was a magical beast here comparable to a Battle Spirit expert: the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake.

Likewise, the Heavenly Flame lay beneath this scorching magma.

After considering it, Lei Luo casually activated the Purple Cloud Wings. With a flap of his wings, he flew over the magma.

Suddenly, a black shadow shot out and lunged at Lei Luo.

But Lei Luo had already been prepared. How could he possibly fall for it? He reacted in an instant.

His right hand closed around empty air, and Frost Moon, gleaming with cold light, appeared in his grasp.

Black flames enveloped his entire body as he slashed downward through the air!

A thunderous crash rang out, and Lei Luo was sent flying backward.

However, the terrifying Yin Fire had already clung to that creature, burning without end.

"Screech!"

A strange cry rang out, and the entire magma surface began to churn violently.

Vaguely, one could make out a monster with two heads.

Lei Luo swiftly glanced at the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake rolling in the magma, and a trace of savagery flashed through his eyes.

He wrapped himself in the Yin-Yang Twin Flames and plunged directly into the magma pool.

Grabbing one of the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's heads, Lei Luo shot into the sky and rose into midair.

The Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake writhed wildly, its enormous tail lashing against Lei Luo's back.

After coughing up a mouthful of blood, Lei Luo manifested the Purple Cloud Wings behind him and dragged it straight to the shore.

The Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake panicked. It had never expected this human, who was clearly so much weaker than itself, to be so powerful.

Especially that strange black flame—it was practically identical to the green flame below.

Enraged, the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's other head bit toward Lei Luo's throat.

As the stench hit him, Lei Luo's figure vanished from the spot like a ghost.

Before it could react, Lei Luo had already slammed a fist into the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's body.

"Blazing Sun Force!"

Lei Luo shouted in a low voice.

A massive, scorching force surged into the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's body and sent it flying.

Its enormous body crashed against the rocks with a muffled boom. By then, the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake had been thoroughly enraged.

Its two heads threw back and howled, and dozens of two-headed giant pythons formed from energy appeared behind it.

Those two-headed giant pythons charged at Lei Luo, and the energy within them made his eyelids twitch violently.

A crafty gleam flashed in the eyes of the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, which Lei Luo had been suppressing. Its body coiled around him, tightly binding him in place.

Terrifying force constricted Lei Luo's body madly, as if it were about to crush every bone in him.

At the same time, those energy python constructs were about to collide with him.

In that critical moment, two wisps of black-and-white flame flickered in Lei Luo's pupils, while golden light burst from his entire body.

Faintly, an earth-shaking beast roar could even be heard.

The Taotie Physique had not merely given him the ability to devour. His physical body was just as formidable!

After breaking free from the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's constriction with all his strength, Lei Luo activated the Three-Thousand Lightning Movement and vanished from the spot.

Then Frost Moon in his hand swept continuously, and one giant python phantom after another was incinerated by black fire.

When every giant python phantom had shattered, a flicker of panic appeared in the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's beastly eyes.

Its body darted away at high speed, intending to burrow back into the magma.

But Lei Luo had worked so hard to lure it out. How could he let it have its way?

Thunder rumbled from where he stood, an arc of lightning exploded, and Lei Luo grabbed the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake by the tail.

Bracing himself, the muscles on his arm bulged. With a fierce swing, he hurled the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's enormous body back through the air.

Then he rushed forward, mounted its snake neck, and began raining down iron fists from both sides.

Punch after punch, carrying scorching force, crashed down. Even its incomparably tough scales shattered and burst apart.

Revealing tender pink flesh beneath.

At that moment, the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's miserable screams echoed throughout the entire cave.
