Devouring Heavenly Flames

Chapter 41: Devouring Heavenly Flames

The Snake People Race experts saw that Chen Xuan and the Seven-colored Snake were getting along peacefully, so none of them dared disturb the harmonious scene.

The Seven-colored Snake gazed at Chen Xuan pitifully, its eyes filled with longing.

Looking at the tiny, adorable Seven-colored Snake before him, Chen Xuan found it rather amusing.

"If this little cutie is Queen Medusa, the contrast is way too great." Chen Xuan smiled faintly and stroked the little snake's head.

The Seven-colored Snake greatly enjoyed Chen Xuan's touch and affectionately rubbed against him.

In Chen Xuan's impression, Queen Medusa had always been cold and aloof, carrying an icy indifference that kept others at a distance.

Moreover, Queen Medusa was quick to anger.

Yet the Seven-colored Snake before him had none of that murderous gaze.

Chen Xuan took out a Gold Coin from his Storage Ring and waved it in front of the Seven-colored Snake. "Are you interested in my Gold Coins?"

The Seven-colored Snake kept its gaze fixed on the Storage Ring in his hand. There was probably something inside that it desperately desired.

As for the Gold Coin Chen Xuan had taken out, the Seven-colored Snake ignored it completely, its eyes remaining fixed on the Storage Ring.

Seeing that it did not want Gold Coins, Chen Xuan took out a Medicinal Herb.

The Seven-colored Snake still did not react.

Chen Xuan could only patiently keep taking items out of his Storage Ring.

When he took out a sixth-tier fire-attributed Magic Core from his Storage Ring, longing appeared in the Seven-colored Snake's eyes.

"Damn, aren't you a little too greedy?" Chen Xuan was instantly depressed when he realized that the Seven-colored Snake was interested in the sixth-tier Magic Core.

This sixth-tier Magic Core had been obtained from the Green Flame Python's lair.

Back then, the Green Flame Python had intended to devour this Magic Core, but Chen Xuan had looted it away.

Chen Xuan had originally planned to sell the Magic Core in exchange for Gold Coins.

A sixth-tier Magic Core could definitely be sold for a considerable sum of Gold Coins.

The Seven-colored Snake let out hissing cries, its little tail continuously swishing.

"Fine, it's yours. Who told you that you're my future wife?" Chen Xuan reluctantly gave it up.

Now that Medusa had evolved into a Seven-colored Snake, he had no idea when she would be able to take human form.

If devouring the Magic Core and gaining its power could help her transform, then Chen Xuan naturally would not be stingy.

He tossed the Magic Core to the Seven-colored Snake. It swallowed it in one bite and immediately began absorbing its power.

"Keep an eye on your queen," Chen Xuan instructed the Snake People Race experts beside him.

He turned to stare at the Azure Flame, unable to wait any longer.

As he approached the Azure Flame bit by bit, Chen Xuan could feel its terrifying heat.

The closer he got, the stronger the sense of danger became.

Purple-Green Flame enveloped Chen Xuan's entire body as he approached the Azure Flame.

At the same time, the Undying Hegemon Body Art began circulating, allowing him to use the Azure Flame to temper his body.

Seeing that Chen Xuan intended to devour the Heavenly Flame, the Snake People Race did not stop him. Their attention was all focused on the Seven-colored Snake.

They had to protect Queen Medusa.

The Snake People Race experts had no idea what state Queen Medusa was currently in.

They could only wait and watch, waiting for the Seven-colored Snake to absorb the energy of the sixth-tier Magic Core.

Most of the Purple-Green Flame gathered in Chen Xuan's right hand. He reached toward the Azure Flame, intending to seize the flame seed.

To obtain a Heavenly Flame, one had to first extract its origin flame seed before devouring it.

But this process was extremely difficult.

Fortunately, Chen Xuan's Dou Emperor power had not disappeared, so he could use the strength of an Eight-star Dou Huang to suppress the terrifying power contained within the Heavenly Flame.

The instant his palm touched the Azure Flame, he felt agony. His entire body was engulfed in excruciating pain.

The clothes on his arm turned to ashes beneath the Azure Flame.

His skin was scorched by the flames, turning a glaring red.

But this was only the beginning.

Chen Xuan thrust his hand into the Azure Flame, trying to find the origin of the Heavenly Flame.

His arm began to blacken, and spiderweb-like cracks soon appeared and spread.

Blood began flowing from his skin, only to turn into black smoke and dissipate beneath the Azure Flame.

His arm did not immediately turn to ashes because he relied on the Purple-Green Flame under his control, the Undying Hegemon Body Art, and his formidable healing ability.

Even so, the process remained torturous, forcing him to endure unbearable pain.

At last, he successfully pulled out the origin flame seed.

In his palm was a wisp of azure magma that radiated terrifying heat.

As the flame seed was pulled out, the Azure Flame before him gradually shrank. In the end, it turned into a tiny wisp of azure flame and burrowed into the azure magma in Chen Xuan's palm.

"The next step is the crucial one." Chen Xuan looked at the origin flame seed in his hand and swallowed it.

Once the origin flame seed entered his body, it was like a red-hot piece of iron dropped into a bowl, instantly causing everything within to boil.

Chen Xuan immediately followed the method described in the Heavenly Wrath Fire Lotus battle skill to help himself devour the Heavenly Flame.

Besides that, he used the beast flame within his body to suppress the Heavenly Flame seed, then began guiding the azure flames inside him to gather together.

The process was difficult and painful.

Chen Xuan's meridians were ravaged by the Heavenly Flame. If not for his powerful healing ability and means of suppression, he might have been devoured by the Heavenly Flame.

Once devoured by the Heavenly Flame, even his soul might have dissipated.

Off to the side, the Snake People Race experts watched Chen Xuan devour the Heavenly Flame with tense, complicated expressions.

If they attacked Chen Xuan now, they would most likely be able to kill him.

But they did not dare act rashly.

First, they feared that Chen Xuan might have other allies hidden nearby.

Second, they worried that the queen would hold them accountable once she appeared.

After all, Chen Xuan had come to help Queen Medusa resist the invaders.

As time passed bit by bit, the pain Chen Xuan endured gradually lessened until it finally disappeared completely.

He opened his eyes, and a flicker of azure flame flashed through them, making him look rather eerie.

"Heh, heh, it feels like my strength has increased quite a bit." Chen Xuan smacked his lips, secretly delighted.

He had not expected devouring a Heavenly Flame to increase his strength.

His Dou Emperor power had yet to disappear, so he did not know what level his true strength had reached.

When his gaze fell upon the Seven-colored Snake nearby, Chen Xuan revealed a look of surprise.

At that moment, seven-colored light radiated from the Seven-colored Snake, enveloping it and concealing what was happening within.

Yet the terrifying aura it emitted was enough to make one's heart tremble.

Feeling the aura radiating from the Seven-colored Snake, Chen Xuan was inwardly shocked. It's definitely at the Dou Zong level.

Could Queen Medusa be about to take human form?

Chen Xuan's face filled with anticipation as he waited for the seven-colored light to disappear.

"Yue Mei, bring me a set of clothes." Queen Medusa's cold voice came from within the seven-colored light, filled with majesty.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yue Mei immediately took out a set of robes and floated toward the seven-colored light.

Chen Xuan stared unblinkingly at the seven-colored light, waiting for Queen Medusa's breathtakingly beautiful face to appear.

Once the seven-colored light dispersed, a delicate and graceful figure appeared before Chen Xuan.

A peerlessly beautiful face was exposed to the air. Her long black hair fell casually behind her, while her flawlessly proportioned, exquisite body was perfect beyond compare. Her pair of slender, snow-white legs gleamed with luster and brimmed with temptation.

The brocade robe she wore displayed her devilish figure to the fullest.

Her exquisite face remained cold and aloof. She raised her head slightly, her beautiful eyes fixed on the silver-haired youth.

"You're truly beautiful." Chen Xuan wore a faint smile.
