"Really? That's great!" Queen Medusa exclaimed excitedly.
It was no wonder she was so excited. For so many years, breaking through to the Dou Zong realm had been her goal.
However, fate had it that, due to the physical constitution of her Serpent People, this step was simply impossible for her.
If she hadn't been completely helpless, she wouldn't have set her sights on the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire.
After all, it could annihilate the body and soul if not carefully considered.
Who would really be willing to take such a risk?
"Heh... this woman."
Seeing Queen Medusa acting like a child, Lin Yuan chuckled softly.
What woman would truly be willing to be strong unless she had no other choice?
If Queen Medusa had a man to rely on, I believe her personality would definitely not be as otherworldly as in the original novel.
"So, now, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire belongs to me?"
Lin Yuan smiled, raising his hand and stroking Queen Medusa's hair.
"Hateful!"
Although she had given up her resistance to the man before her, Lin Yuan's action still made Queen Medusa blush.
She lowered her head and whispered, "Hmph, you're talking as if I don't agree, you'll give up."
Although Queen Medusa deliberately lowered her voice, Lin Yuan still heard it.
Lin Yuan couldn't help but blush.
Queen Medusa was right. There was no way he would give up the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire.
Only by consuming the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire would the "Burning Decree" advance and his own strength be further enhanced.
Most importantly, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire was the most crucial part of the entire Doupo plot.
If Xiao Yan truly had obtained it, the future plot might have continued to unfold in the same way as history.
In that case, his fate would have been even more tragic than death.
Now, without Queen Medusa's obstruction, Lin Yuan could finally devour the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire with confidence.
Turning his gaze to the pale cyan flame, his expression instantly grew fiery.
"Protect me," Lin Yuan said.
"Okay!"
Without hesitation, Queen Medusa distanced herself from the scene, looking around warily.
At that moment, she once again reverted to her aloof queenly persona.
While the strange fire was a rare treasure, coveted by countless people,
it had no effect on the Serpent People. If it weren't for the power of the strange fire, Queen Medusa would certainly not have set her sights on it.
Despite their brief encounter with Lin Yuan, and despite the man's somewhat shameless nature,
Queen Medusa somehow held him in high esteem.
Since Lin Yuan had promised her a celestial pill, he was certain to be able to do it.
Queen Medusa didn't know where her confidence came from,
but she simply trusted him.
Therefore, she willingly accepted the role of guardian.
"Whoosh!"
With everything ready, Lin Yuan took a deep breath and flew directly to a spot near the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire.
Then, he slowly extended his hand and aimed it at the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire. A powerful suction force erupted.
With his movement, the azure flames suddenly grew in size.
In a single breath, waves of terrifying destructive power, as if fully awakened, spread in all directions.
Lin Yuan's gaze grew increasingly serious as he fixed his gaze on the growing azure flame.
Unlike the Sea Heart Flame, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire was already present within Han Feng's body.
It could be said that it had already been subdued by Han Feng. If it weren't for the incompleteness of Han Feng's cultivation of the Burning Art, the Sea Heart Flame would have long since merged with it.
Later, after cultivating the complete version of the "Burning Art," he finally fully unlocked the power of the Sea Heart Flame.
However, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire was now ownerless, its destructive power threatening to backfire if not handled with care.
Therefore, Lin Yuan was on high alert.
As time passed, the area surrounding the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire had long since been incinerated by its terrifying heat.
Lin Yuan reached out and snatched the spark from the center of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire.
His current strength was at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Huang realm, so he didn't need the protection of the Blood Lotus Pill.
With his own strength, Lin Yuan was more than capable of withstanding the terrifying heat.
As the spark was withdrawn, the terrifying heat of the Azure Flame gradually began to diminish.
A moment later, it transformed into streams of energy, merging into the cyan lotus pedestal below.
"How could I have forgotten it?"
In the original novel, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire had long been taken away by Queen Medusa.
But the precious Azure Lotus pedestal remained, and upon it, a chain was cultivated. The energy contained within was enough to equal three or four times the speed of the current time.
So, without a moment's hesitation, Lin Yuan leaped onto the lotus pedestal.
His gaze fixed intently on the fire in his hand.
A second later, he opened his mouth and swallowed the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire seed in one gulp.
From its mouth, the fire instantly erupted into wisps of cyan flames, rushing towards Lin Yuan's limbs.
How terrifying was the power of this strange fire?
At that moment, Lin Yuan's internal organs and every major meridian in his body were completely engulfed in the cyan flames.
That destructive force continued to wreak havoc.
"Ah!"
Lin Yuan cried out in agony, beads of sweat instantly covering his forehead.
He had underestimated the destructive power of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire!
"What's wrong with you?"
Lin Yuan's scream reached Queen Medusa, and a flicker of worry crossed her face.
Without hesitation, Queen Medusa's battle-qi wings instantly emerged from behind her and flew towards Lin Yuan.
"Don't come over!"
Lin Yuan's words had barely left her lips when Queen Medusa was instantly shaken back by the terrifying heat.
She stared in Lin Yuan's direction in shock, clearly not expecting the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire to unleash such power.
Even her Nine-Star Dou Huang strength was too much to withstand the mere residual heat.
How much pain must Lin Yuan, one of them, have endured?
Queen Medusa's heart was gripped at that moment, and she looked at Lin Yuan not far away with worry, but she was at a loss as to what to do.
Meanwhile, Lin Yuan's meridians had already been ravaged by the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, leaving him horrible.
He forced himself to calm down.
He absolutely couldn't panic at this moment. If he was careless, he would have to say goodbye to this world once again.
The next second, Lin Yuan instantly pulled the Ice Spirit Cold Spring from his ring.
With trembling hands, Lin Yuan struggled to take the Ice Spirit Cold Spring to his mouth.
"Whoosh!"
As the Ice Spirit Cold Spring surged, a faint, icy coolness flowed down his throat and into his body.
The terrifyingly high temperature finally subsided.
After slowly exhaling, Lin Yuan finally drew out his energy and suddenly activated the "Burning Technique," instantly pushing it to its limit!
