Heaven-and-Earth Beast-Taming Scripture

Lu Xia crouched down and looked at her thoughtfully.

"Since you still refuse to give up and keep thinking about escaping and turning on me..."

"Then I'll just have to... test my beast-taming method on you."

A beast-taming method?

Medusa was slightly stunned, a trace of confusion flashing through her eyes.

What beast-taming method?

Lu Xia offered no explanation, merely curling his lips into a mysterious smile.

Among Lü Yue's inheritances was a cultivation technique called the Heaven-and-Earth Beast-Taming Scripture.

It was a supreme method from the Primordial World, specifically used to subdue mounts and tame magical beasts.

As long as the magical beast's level did not exceed the caster's, it was virtually infallible.

Back when Medusa still had the body of a Snake-Person, half human and half snake, Lu Xia had not been sure whether this technique would work on her.

But things were different now.

She had completed her bloodline evolution and fully transformed into a Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.

In that case, the Heaven-and-Earth Beast-Taming Scripture should prove quite effective.

"Let's get to it!"

Excitement flashed in Lu Xia's eyes.

His hands began forming seals at incredible speed.

One profound, obscure rune after another emerged from his fingertips.

Watching the ever-condensing runes, Medusa suddenly felt an intense sense of unease rise within her.

She instinctively sensed danger!

What was this bastard trying to do to her now?!

She twisted wildly, trying to break free from the Dou Qi chains binding her.

Unfortunately, it was all futile.

"Heaven and earth as the guide, all beasts submit!"

"Command!"

Lu Xia gave a low shout and thrust both hands forward.

The light of the contract, condensed from runes, transformed into a streak of light and instantly entered Medusa's brow!

"Hiss—!"

Medusa let out a piercing hiss, and her entire body convulsed violently.

She felt a mysterious yet overbearing force drilling frantically through her brow toward the depths of her soul!

It wanted to brand her soul with its mark!

"No!"

Medusa roared furiously in her heart.

She was the Queen of the Snake-People Tribe! A noble Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python!

How could she be branded as someone's slave?!

She resisted desperately, mobilizing every ounce of power deep within her soul in an attempt to force out the contract's power.

The soul power of a Dou Zong erupted with full force!

But Lu Xia's soul power was even more terrifying than hers!

As a method of the Primordial World, the Heaven-and-Earth Beast-Taming Scripture stood at a level far beyond the understanding of the Dou Qi Continent.

On top of that, Lu Xia's cultivation exceeded hers, and his soul power was vastly stronger as well.

The contract runes advanced with unstoppable force, closing in on the origin of her soul.

Medusa's struggles grew weaker and weaker.

The emotions in her eyes gradually changed from fury and unwillingness to despair.

No! I can't stop it...

How could this bastard's soul power be this strong?!

At last, the final rune completely merged into the origin of her soul.

"Buzz!"

The little seven-colored snake trembled and stopped struggling.

Her gaze became slightly dazed before being replaced by a complicated emotion.

A profound contract mark had appeared in the depths of her soul.

Through this mark, a single thought from Lu Xia would force her to obey his commands.

If he wished, a single thought could even make her soul scatter and vanish!

The Dou Qi chains quietly dissipated.

Lu Xia withdrew his hands and looked at the now-quiet Medusa on the ground, nodding in satisfaction.

It worked!

The Heaven-and-Earth Beast-Taming Scripture truly lived up to its name.

His thoughts stirred slightly.

"Come here."

The little seven-colored snake on the ground moved against her will and coiled around his wrist.

Lu Xia raised his hand and looked at the little seven-colored snake curled around his wrist, unable to resist gently stroking her with a finger.

"Not bad. Quite pretty."

Lu Xia rotated his wrist and examined it, clicking his tongue in amazement.

"It really is convenient."

When he went out in the future, he could simply wear her on his wrist. No one would ever imagine that she was a Dou Zong expert.

Lu Xia smiled and did not dwell on it further.

Now that he had subdued Medusa, this unstable element, he could finally refine the Sea Heart Flame in peace.

He sat cross-legged once more and summoned the Sea Heart Flame floating nearby before him.

"Let's begin."

Lu Xia took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and fully circulated the Nine Revolutions Poison Art and the Myriad Poisons Body-Tempering Formula.

The Green Lotus Core Flame surged from within him, its emerald flames facing the pale-blue Sea Heart Flame from afar.

Under his control, the two Heavenly Flames slowly began to merge.

Terrifying heat filled the entire cave.

Lu Xia guided the Sea Heart Flame into his body thread by thread, letting it slowly travel through his meridians.

Since the Sea Heart Flame had already been refined once by Han Feng, its spirituality had greatly diminished, and its violent nature had weakened considerably.

Refining it was much easier than refining the Green Lotus Core Flame had been.

Naturally, its contained energy was also far less vast than that of the Green Lotus Core Flame.

Days passed.

The aura around Lu Xia steadily rose.

Mid Three-Star Dou Zong...

Peak Three-Star Dou Zong...

Four-Star Dou Zong!

Without the slightest pause, his cultivation surged forward all the way.

The seven-colored bracelet around Lu Xia's wrist also glowed faintly.

The Heavenly Flame energy and Dou Qi leaking out as Lu Xia cultivated were silently absorbed by her, and her newly attained One-Star Dou Zong realm was steadily stabilizing.

A day passed in the blink of an eye.

"Boom—"

At a certain moment, a powerful aura erupted from within Lu Xia!

Six-Star Dou Zong!

His aura rose higher and higher, only slowly coming to a stop at mid Six-Star Dou Zong.

Lu Xia slowly opened his eyes. He clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within his body, and a satisfied smile curved his lips.

He had risen three levels in a row!

Though it was not as impressive as when he had refined the Green Lotus Core Flame, it was still astonishing enough.

After all, the Sea Heart Flame had already been refined once by Han Feng and had lost a considerable amount of energy. Achieving this result had already exceeded his expectations.

"Next, it's time to temper my body."

Lu Xia murmured softly, anticipation flashing in his eyes.

Two Heavenly Flames merging to temper the Woeful Poison Body!

How far would his physique evolve this time?

He did not delay and immediately entered meditation again.

Under his control, the Green Lotus Core Flame and the Sea Heart Flame began slowly burning and tempering his body from within.

One green and one blue, the two different flames intertwined and entwined, becoming a terrifying torrent of fire.

Wherever the flames passed, his meridians, flesh, and bones were repeatedly burned and tempered.

The impurities within his body were burned away completely.

Under the burning of the Heavenly Flames, the origin of the Woeful Poison Body became increasingly pure and powerful.

A full day and night passed silently.

When Lu Xia opened his eyes again, his entire temperament had undergone a subtle change.

He appeared more ordinary and restrained, like a mortal youth with no cultivation at all.

Only he knew what terrifying power lay hidden within his body.

The Woeful Poison Body had completed its second transformation!

His Six-Star Dou Zong cultivation had also been fully consolidated, leaving his foundation solid.

Lu Xia stood and stretched his limbs.

He raised his wrist and looked at the seven-colored bracelet on it, his thoughts stirring.

The bracelet flashed, transforming back into the palm-sized little seven-colored snake.

Her One-Star Dou Zong realm had stabilized as well.

"Not bad. You're in good shape."

Lu Xia smiled as he stroked her head.

The little seven-colored snake glared at him irritably, but she did not bristle as she had before.

The contract had been formed, and deep within her heart, she had already developed an instinctive submission to Lu Xia.

Though she remained proud and prickly, she would no longer turn on her master.

Lu Xia did not care about her attitude. As long as she obeyed, that was enough.
