Besides, Lin Qing already knew the result from the system; this evolution was quite successful, so he wasn't in a hurry at all.

Lin Qing then scanned the area below the Cyan Flame and discovered that the small pool that had once been filled with the Ice Spirit Cold Spring had long since become a dark, empty void. Only the Azure Green Lotus Platform of the Green Lotus Core Flame remained intact within it. A rough glance suggested that the void was at least ten meters deep. Moreover, the bamboo forest surrounding the Heavenly Flames had instantly turned to ashes, and a gentle breeze swept through, leveling large swathes of bamboo groves.

Lin Qing pulled the Green Lotus back into her hand, checked it, and breathed a sigh of relief when she found it was undamaged.

He'll need this to extinguish the Green Lotus Core Flame later.

Within the Cyan Flame, Queen Medusa's shrill screams, which had been blaring for nearly half an hour, gradually began to weaken.

At this moment, perhaps because its power had been exhausted, the purple snake's huge body had almost stopped rolling. Its body, which was originally covered with beautiful purple scales, was now charred black. Its body, which was more than ten feet long, had been burned down to only two or three feet. It was hard to imagine how many bones and blood had been burned away by the Heavenly Flames in this body.

Beyond the purple light barrier, more and more Snake-People stood on the surrounding rooftops, staring blankly at the ever-churning purple flames, all hoping for a miracle.

As time passed, at a certain moment, a mournful screech echoed throughout the city, and instantly, a somber atmosphere enveloped this most sacred city of the Snake-People Tribe.

Within the Cyan Flame, Queen Medusa lay motionless, the Azure Green Lotus Core Flame burning upon her body, a faint, acrid smell slowly emanating from it.

As Queen Medusa's screams faded into silence, the entire city gradually fell into a deathly stillness.

"Has Your Majesty failed?" Outside the lake, seeing that there was no more movement, Hua She'er asked with a bitter expression.

"Sister Medusa!" Lin Qi was also very anxious. Although they had only known each other for a few months, she had already regarded this older sister as a good friend. Moreover, not only did Medusa feel close to her, but she also felt close to Medusa.

"..."

The Snake-People around them clenched their fists in disbelief.

"Her Majesty has already made all the arrangements. Even if something goes wrong, there's nothing that can be done. Besides, can't you see that Master Lin hasn't come out yet? Let's just keep waiting!"

The Great Elder of the Snake-People Tribe flew out with the other three elders to appease the Snake-People Tribe.

As soon as the Great Elder finished speaking, Lin Qing noticed that the sky had suddenly turned gloomy and dark, and the energy between heaven and earth had begun to surge violently.

The once bright night sky became incredibly dark, as clusters of dark clouds, seemingly from nowhere, slowly gathered above, shrouding the entire sky.

Seeing this, Lin Qing's faint worry gradually subsided. He then slipped away from the vicinity and arrived at the edge of the island, ready to return to the Pocket World at any time.

After all, he can't withstand the heavenly lightning right now.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a deafening roar of thunder echoed from within the dark clouds, and silver lightning bolts darted about wildly within them, like long, silver serpents.

The sudden thunder and lightning left everyone else present completely bewildered.

"Your Majesty has succeeded!" The Great Elder was the first to react. According to the records of the Snake-People Tribe, if the evolution is successful and the evolved bloodline is powerful enough, it will attract heavenly lightning. The current situation just happens to match this.

A tremendous roar followed the voice of the Snake-People Tribe.

In an instant, the entire world was illuminated by a massive silver bolt of lightning. The lightning bolt shot down from the clouds, finally piercing through the purple light barrier and slamming into the ball of Cyan Flame.

The thunder came and went quickly. Before the thunderous roar had completely faded from everyone's ears, the dark clouds in the sky began to recede rapidly, and in an instant, the bright moon once again cast its light upon the ground.

However, after the lightning struck earlier, a faint blue mist seeped out from the island, obscuring everyone's view.

Lin Qing frowned. He discovered that the mist generated by the collision of the Heavenly Flames and the lightning actually had the effect of isolating the Spirit-Realm Soul. He didn't know much about the situation inside. At the moment, he was covered by Dou Qi Energy Barrier, and the lightning just now had also had a certain impact on him.

Lin Qing had no choice but to step forward and investigate. By this time, the entire island had become barren, and he slowly walked into the blue mist.

As they gradually approached the center of the island, the Cyan Flame in the air reappeared. However, these Cyan Flame had now returned to the size of a fist, hovering quietly in mid-air, constantly changing shape.

His gaze shifted from the Heavenly Flames to the ground, where the giant snake, its body charred black, lay motionless, its cold body unmistakably that of a dead snake.

Click!

Lin Qing stared intently at the scene before him, and as he gazed, a faint cracking sound emanated from within the charred giant snake.

Under his gaze, the charred skin of the stiff, limp, scorched giant snake corpse slowly peeled off...

As the rate of shedding accelerated, Lin Qing sensed a familiar aura emanating from the snake's body, with faint signs of it breaking free.

Finally, with a loud "bang!", the giant snake's corpse on the ground exploded, its black scales flying everywhere, and a section of the body instantly turned into powder.

The instant the snake's corpse turned to dust, a vast and terrifying aura suddenly burst forth, rapidly enveloping the city at an alarming speed.

"Her Queen has succeeded?" Sensing a faint sense of familiarity within that aura, countless Snake-People throughout the city exchanged bewildered glances, then burst into wild joy, their earth-shattering cheers echoing through the sky.

Lin Qing shook his head. Others might not know, but he knew very well that although the aura was powerful, it seemed to be running out of steam. More importantly, Medusa should have already fallen into a deep sleep, and the one in front should be the Seven-Colored Sky-Devouring Python Xiaocai Cai.

As expected, after this aura erupted, it receded like a tide in just over ten seconds.

As the aura dissipated once more, the cheers in the city abruptly ceased, leaving all the Snake-People stunned, their hearts filled with trepidation and anticipation.

In the area where the snake exploded, black dust gradually fell. In a split second, a seven-colored light suddenly shot out from the mist. The speed of the light was so fast that it seemed to penetrate the barrier of space, catching people off guard.

Lin Qing clearly saw the outline of the seven-colored light and shadow, but he did not stop it. He simply quickly condensed his Soul Needle, ready to fire at any moment, and then let the seven-colored light and shadow, carrying the wind-breaking body, flash over.
