"Shadow Guard?" Queen Medusa paused for a moment, then said, "Isn't the force you established the Lofty Cloud Pavilion?"
Chen Mo offered a brief explanation.
After hearing this, Queen Medusa glanced at Yun Yun and asked, "What do you see in him? Is it just because he's handsome?"
At this moment, Queen Medusa had also realized Yun Yun's identity as the leader of the Yunlan Sect, a status that was undoubtedly higher than her own.
Because of this, Queen Medusa found it hard to understand how such an outstanding woman could be interested in this lecherous man.
"That's none of your business." Yun Yun shot a sidelong glance at Queen Medusa, her tone icy.
Queen Medusa, however, was not intimidated by Yun Yun; instead, the corners of her rosy lips curled into a curious smile.
Such a protective nature, how interesting.
"Teacher, about the Pinnacle of Wind..." At that moment, Nalan Yanran, who had come to inquire about Battle Skills, noticed the doors of the main hall were open. She stepped inside and, upon seeing the mysterious woman in front of Chen Mo and Yun Yun, was taken aback and exclaimed, "Who is she?"
Chen Mo calmly introduced, "Senior Sister, this is Queen Medusa. This is my Senior Sister, Nalan Yanran."
"Queen Medusa?" Nalan Yanran scrutinized the woman carefully, and suddenly her expression froze, her gaze turning cold. "Junior Brother, why is she wearing your robe?"
Sensing the chill emanating from Nalan Yanran, Chen Mo quietly explained, "She was originally the Seven-Colored Tiny Snake, sleeping in my sleeve. I didn't expect her to wake up suddenly, and then..."
Upon hearing this, a hint of embarrassment inexplicably crept onto Nalan Yanran's face.
"Is that so?" After hearing Chen Mo's vague explanation, the smile on Queen Medusa's lips became even more enchanting.
Her autumn-like eyes roamed over the three of them—teacher, junior brother, senior sister—before suddenly, Queen Medusa covered her mouth and let out a light laugh.
As she passed by Chen Mo, she deliberately lingered for a moment and teased, "I didn't expect you to be quite the player."
Chen Mo's eyes flickered, "This is bad."
Three days later.
Inside the main hall of the sect leader.
Chen Mo successfully refined the Yin-Yang Dual Flames.
Five more particles awakened within him, and the Giant Elephant Strength increased to twenty-one.
Chen Mo immersed himself in concentration, preparing to push forward, urging the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength to merge with the Yin-Yang Dual Flames.
Streams of Battle Qi were refined into Nether Energy by the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength, swirling around Chen Mo, its deathly aura clashing with everything around him.
As time passed, the Nether Energy surrounding Chen Mo grew denser, resembling a small artificial black hole.
Chen Mo's abdomen began to contract slowly, his cheeks puffing out, and then with a great gulp, all the strands of Nether Energy surrounding him were swallowed into his belly.
Guided by Chen Mo, the energy surged toward the black-and-white flames within him.
Moments later, a cacophony erupted inside his body as a large amount of Nether Energy began to merge with the Yin-Yang Dual Flames.
Deep within the Qi Vortex, all the Battle Qi transformed into black-and-white hues and underwent extreme compression, turning into liquid.
Below the vortex, it gradually became a black ocean!
Above that vortex, a five-colored diamond embryo was swelling.
Terrifying lightning coiled around the embryo.
In that instant, Chen Mo's senses, perception, and soul power surged dramatically.
He even felt, in a fleeting moment, the presence of an extremely terrifying beast hidden deep within the vortex, its feet treading on hell, wielding thunder, with all beasts bowing in submission.
Boom!
The beast roared, and Chen Mo's aura suddenly intensified, creating a massive energy field centered around him, growing larger and distorting the air.
On the square, Queen Medusa, who was training the Shadow Guards, suddenly froze, as if sensing something, and looked up toward the main hall above.
At the top of the hall, a transparent vortex, resembling a tornado, began to form.
The surrounding energy of heaven and earth surged toward the vortex like a tide.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the world changed color, and fierce winds arose.
Various strange and terrifying hellish scenes appeared, with towering, menacing figures manifesting from the void.
At the moment they appeared!
The Nether God's Hymn resounded, and the heavens lamented!
Above the nine heavens, thunder rumbled!
This extraordinary scene shook the entire Battle Qi Continent.
"Oh my God, what is happening? What on earth is that?" Elders and disciples of the Yunlan Sect emerged from their palaces, caves, and secret chambers, shocked by this peculiar sight.
At Jia Nan Academy, in the library pavilion.
Two figures in gray robes, seemingly on the verge of entering a deep meditative state, suddenly had their pupils constrict, a look of shock appearing on their aged faces as they turned to look toward the Yunlan Sect.
At the back cliff of Jia Nan Academy.
"That's in the direction of the Yunlan Sect. Should we send someone to check it out?"
"Miss, but the clan leader instructed us not to provoke the Yunlan Sect."
"I'm just asking you to take a look!"
Central State!
Among the many powerful factions, those who were in seclusion and would not be disturbed unless there was a major event suddenly opened their eyes, all gazing toward the northwest direction of the Battle Qi Continent.
Then they issued a similar command: "In the northwest wilderness of the Battle Qi Continent, an unprecedented phenomenon has occurred; there may be rare treasures emerging. Go and take a look!"
In the depths of the Ancient Clan, Soul Clan, and others, powerful souls began to probe toward the northwest of the continent.
Just as their souls touched that northwest area.
In the hellish scene above the Yunlan Sect, broken and decayed arms, exuding a deathly aura, emerged from the ruins, and the towering, menacing figures opened their eyes simultaneously.
They gazed hauntingly toward a certain position.
Soul Clan.
Ancient Clan.
Thunder Clan.
Medicine Clan. In the forbidden grounds of the eight major clans, figures spat out blood in succession.
"How is this possible?" several prominent figures exclaimed in astonishment.
Inside the main hall of the Yunlan Sect.
Above the vortex within Chen Mo, a solidified five-colored thunder diamond crystal slowly rotated.
Unaware of the commotion he had caused, Chen Mo gradually opened his eyes.
"Wings of Freedom!"
Chen Mo silently chanted, and a pair of black-and-white wings, about two meters long, shot out from his shoulders.
With a gentle flap of the wings, Chen Mo's body soared into the air. Fortunately, he reacted quickly; otherwise, his head would have collided with the ceiling.
"The speed has increased more than tenfold compared to the Devil's Wings," Chen Mo exclaimed in delight.
"Now, let's try this!"
"Nether God's Protection!" Chen Mo shouted, and suddenly, a phantom of a demon god appeared before him, its face fierce and menacing, guarding Chen Mo.
The fusion of the Yin-Yang Dual Flames not only allowed Chen Mo to break through to the level of Grand Battle Master.
It also helped him comprehend
the third layer of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength.
The first layer of the strongest defensive technique.
Nether God's Protection!
