Subduing the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python, Green Lotus Core Flame

The charred snake body shattered like an eggshell!

Cracks appeared one after another, and seven-colored light shone through them.

The light grew brighter and brighter, while the cracks multiplied and widened.

"Bang!"

The giant snake's corpse exploded. Pitch-black scales shot in every direction, and its body turned into a cloud of powder.

The instant the snake corpse exploded, Xiao Yan ducked into the Portable Space.

Once the black powder drifting through the air gradually settled to the ground, a tiny seven-colored snake appeared where the corpse had been.

The little seven-colored snake held its body upright, looking adorably dazed.

Bold and skilled, Xiao Yan appeared directly before the little seven-colored snake.

The little snake flew up from the ground and hovered before Xiao Yan. There was not the slightest hint of killing intent in its purple pupils; they looked exceptionally pure.

Xiao Yan let out a quiet breath of relief and extended his clean hand, carefully touching the little snake.

The little snake did not resist. With a flick of its tail, it coiled around Xiao Yan's arm, then slithered toward his Storage Ring and gently sniffed at it.

Squeak, squeak, squeak~

The little snake raised its head and looked at Xiao Yan, letting out a few soft hisses as though acting coy.

Seeing that the little snake was not aggressive, Xiao Yan finally relaxed and gently stroked its tiny head.

"Teacher, what's going on? Did my queen wife evolve successfully or fail? Why has her personality completely changed?"

Xiao Yan sent Medicine Elder a puzzled mental message. Given Queen Medusa's personality, she would definitely have attacked upon seeing him.

"She should have evolved successfully."

After pondering for a moment, Medicine Elder spoke from within the space.

"Queen Medusa's former companion soul was a sixth-tier magical beast called the Purple Netherflame Snake. This magical beast possesses the bloodline of the ancient exotic beast, the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python. Upon reaching adulthood, this exotic beast is comparable to a Battle Saint. Its distinctive traits are: a seven-colored body, slightly purple eyes, a fragrant body, and strength that reaches the heavens."

"All of that matches this little snake's appearance, so it evolved successfully. But some sort of mutation must have occurred during the evolution?"

Within the space, Medicine Elder watched the seven-colored little snake continuously lick Xiao Yan's Storage Ring. This was clearly not something Queen Medusa would do.

"Could it be that one body has two souls? Queen Medusa's soul was weakened by the lightning tribulation, and now the newly born Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python's soul has taken control of the body?"

Medicine Elder guessed.

Xiao Yan nodded, feeling that his teacher's guess was highly accurate.

"That works too. I can nurture my relationship with my queen wife first, and she can't do anything about it. Hehe."

Xiao Yan chuckled oddly and poked the little snake's body several times with his finger.

"Queen wife, are you so interested in my Storage Ring? Once we get married, I'll put it on you myself. How about it?"

Medicine Elder rolled his eyes within the Portable Space.

"The Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python has a spatial talent. It probably sensed something in your Storage Ring that it wants. Judging from how greedy it looks, it should be the Companion Purple Crystal Source."

Xiao Yan's Storage Ring was not the Boneflame Ring, but an ordinary mid-grade Storage Ring. There was nothing special about it.

And the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python was a fire-attributed exotic beast, so Medicine Elder made that guess.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan took out a bottle of Companion Purple Crystal Source and removed the stopper.

With a whoosh, the little seven-colored snake coiled around Xiao Yan's left hand holding the jade bottle as if it had teleported. Its tiny head plunged straight into the bottle's opening, and it stretched out its tongue to greedily lap up several huge mouthfuls.

A full fifth of the Companion Purple Crystal Source in the jade bottle vanished immediately.

Then, as though it were full, excitement and satisfaction appeared in the little snake's purple eyes.

Xiao Yan carefully held the little snake before his eyes and smiled gently.

"Little one, I'll call you Xiao Cai from now on. Will you follow me? I have lots of delicious things for you."

After some thought, Xiao Yan decided not to call the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python his queen wife anymore. If he angered her into waking up now, he would have to flee for his life.

Xiao Cai seemed to understand. She stared at Xiao Yan, and a trace of humanlike confusion appeared in her eyes.

Xiao Yan chuckled. With a thought, he removed an Earthfire Lotus Seed from the lotus platform in the magma lake within the Portable Space and waved it before Xiao Cai.

At the sight of the Earthfire Lotus Seed, Xiao Cai's eyes immediately lit up. She held her snake body upright and flicked out her tongue, as though begging for it.

Xiao Yan pinched the lotus seed and stuffed it into Xiao Cai's mouth.

Xiao Cai did not swallow the Earthfire Lotus Seed. Instead, she held it in her mouth as pure fire-attributed energy slowly flowed into her stomach.

Then Xiao Cai coiled her head and tail around Xiao Yan's left wrist, slipped into his sleeve, and fell asleep to digest the energy within her body.

"You really are generous. First the Companion Purple Crystal Source, then the Earthfire Lotus Seeds."

Medicine Elder teased from within the space.

"Of course I have to treat my future wife better."

Xiao Yan smiled, then walked toward the Green Lotus Core Flame.

At this moment, the Green Lotus Core Flame had turned back into a small flame, quietly hovering in the air.

However, when Xiao Yan's right hand approached it, that tiny flame transformed into a raging blaze, expanding more than tenfold.

The temperature in the air rose rapidly as well.

Facing the enormous azure flames, Xiao Yan was not the least bit afraid. Instead, he sat cross-legged and inhaled.

The azure flames were drawn into a thin stream and slowly sucked into Xiao Yan's mouth.

Xiao Yan began cultivating by directly swallowing the flame.

As the azure flames entered his body, the Myriad Flame Emperor Physique transformed them into strands of fire-attributed battle qi.

Compared to the Calamity Waves of the Calamity Poison Body, the Myriad Flame Emperor Physique was far more tyrannical. The moment flames entered his body, it was as though they had entered a domain and obediently submitted. Whether to preserve them as real flames or transform them into fire-attributed battle qi depended entirely on Xiao Yan's thought.

As Xiao Yan continued to swallow, the azure flames steadily shrank, gradually revealing the origin flame seed within.

This origin flame seed was semi-solid and semi-liquid, resembling a strip of azure magma.

Crack! A sound like shattering glass came from above Xiao Yan's head.

The purple energy barrier Queen Medusa had set up earlier was broken from the outside.

Gu He and the others appeared.

"Protect the queen."

Yue Mei shouted coldly and charged toward the small island alongside the other two tribal leaders, trying to stop Gu He and the others in the air.

The mysterious black-robed person beside Gu He appeared and blocked Yue Mei and the other two. In a cold shout, the person said, "Wind Returns to Earth."

As the shout fell, tangible azure gales abruptly appeared above the black-robed person, forming a vast, oppressive mass like a thick azure cloud.

With a wave of the black-robed person's hand, the azure gales overhead rapidly pressed down toward the three of them. As the wind descended, countless azure wind blades shot down like raindrops.

Yue Mei and the other two looked solemn. Facing the swiftly descending azure gales, they could only gather together. Three pillars of battle qi with entirely different attributes shot into the sky, holding the descending winds in midair.

But this also tied Yue Mei and the other two down, leaving them able to do nothing but watch as Gu He and the others rushed toward the center of the island.

"Quick, grab the origin flame seed and hide in the space."

Medicine Elder urgently said from within the space.

Xiao Yan grabbed the azure magma and threw it onto the Green Lotus platform inside the Portable Space.

Then the Purple Cloud Wings behind him spread open. Holding a strand of azure flame in his hand, he shot into the sky and flew rapidly toward the horizon.

"Heavenly Flame!"

Gu He naturally spotted Xiao Yan's fleeing figure.

"Chase him!"

They immediately changed direction and pursued Xiao Yan.

Seeing Gu He leave, the mysterious black-robed person also abandoned Yue Mei and the other two, flying after Gu He.

The black-robed person was extremely fast and quickly caught up to Gu He's group.

"The Heavenly Flame is on that shadowy figure. Hurry and catch him, then take it back."

Upon seeing the black-robed person, Gu He spoke rapidly.

The black-robed person nodded. The azure wings on the person's back shook, and the body shot toward Xiao Yan like a meteor.

"Queen Medusa evolved successfully and has fallen unconscious. I took her with me. Don't chase us."

Just as Yue Mei was about to pursue Gu He and the others, Xiao Yan's departing soul transmission reached her ears.

That familiar voice made Yue Mei's delicate body tremble, and she called out to stop the other tribal leaders.
