A rich purple light suddenly burst forth from the depths of the bamboo forest on the small island.
A dome of purple light descended.
Guhe took several steps back, his face darkening as he looked at the dome that covered the lake and the island.
at the same time.
Xiao Yan also arrived at the lakeside, his face grim. "Teacher, we're a step too late. Is there any other way to get in?"
"This is a measure Medusa has prepared to prevent being disturbed. Although I have a way to break through it, Gu He is right beside me, so let's wait for now."
The old man's voice was low and deep, revealing a hint of surprise, clearly indicating that he hadn't expected things to take so many twists and turns.
If he uses his methods to break through now, he won't be able to compete head-on with Guhe, and he'll end up benefiting others.
"Is there nothing we can do but wait?"
Xiao Yan's heart sank, and resentment appeared in his eyes.
Thinking of the black-robed man who had stopped him, hatred welled up in his eyes!
"Don't be impatient. If we succeed, it's my fortune; if we fail, it's fate! It's not certain whether Medusa can succeed in breaking through. If she succeeds, everyone will have to run. If she fails, we'll each have to rely on our own abilities."
The old master never expected his disciple to be so lucky, that a Dou Shi would encounter a strange fire.
Back then, even though he was already at the Dou Zun realm, he still spent a lot of time waiting in order to obtain the Bone Spirit Cold Flame.
Yun Yun also arrived at the barrier at this moment.
As Gu He's gaze swept over her, she warned, "We can't act rashly now. Those snake people are also worried about Medusa. If we attack the light barrier, we'll probably be driven away before we even see Medusa."
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of clarity appeared in Guhe's eyes, which had been reddened with anxiety.
All the snake-men from the surrounding area gathered around.
At this moment, their attention was also drawn to the commotion inside the light barrier, and they did not make a move against Gu He and the others.
Among their snake-people tribe, there has always been a record about a snake king.
Each Snake King, after reaching the peak of Dou Huang strength, can evolve using a different kind of fire.
If successful, it may activate the bloodline, complete the transformation, and become a Devouring Python.
This is a level beyond that of ordinary snake people.
However, this risk is also extremely high. The strange fire belongs to the fire element, while snake people are naturally cold in nature. The two are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining.
"The Queen has been secretly preparing this all along..."
Mobass's face was grave, and worry lingered between his brows.
Yue Mei whispered, "Trust the Queen; she should be confident."
Snake, accompanied by Medusa Serpent Guards, surrounded the area. Her cold gaze swept over Gu He and the others, finally settling on Yun Yun. "Once Her Majesty the Queen successfully evolves, none of you will escape!"
"Heh, this kind of evolution has no rules whatsoever, it might fail... In that case, I won't even have to lift a finger, she'll just disappear into the world on her own."
Yun Yun replied calmly, not taking her threat seriously.
Snake's expression changed upon hearing the other party's almost curse-like words.
But then she suddenly thought of the black-robed figure who had rushed towards her, and a scene from a while ago flashed through her mind.
Her expression became calm and confident. "Her Majesty the Queen will succeed!"
Yun Yun was taken aback and couldn't help but turn her head to look at her.
Why do I suddenly become confident when I was worried just a second ago?
"Snake, did the Queen give you any instructions beforehand?"
Yue Mei and Mo Bass moved closer to her and asked.
The snake didn't explain, but its tone became full of confidence, "Her Majesty the Queen will definitely succeed!"
Some of the snake people present witnessed this scene, and those who had experienced that day also recalled it.
As they talked, Yun Yun, Gu He, Xiao Yan, and the others gradually picked up on some clues.
"That person didn't come to steal the strange fire, but to help Medusa complete her breakthrough?"
Xiao Yan was dumbfounded, and a sense of regret welled up in his heart.
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have provoked them; both of them could have gotten inside.
Gu He looked at Yun Yun, "When you fought against your opponent, were you able to identify who they were?"
He was quite puzzled. Why would humans actively help Medusa break through her limits? What would be the benefit of that?
"I'm not sure."
Yun Yun hesitated for two seconds, then shook her head in denial. In fact, she had a rough guess in her mind, but the answer was too fantastical and hard to admit, so she decided to keep it to herself.
...
"I've done as you said, now it's your turn."
Medusa stared at Nie Yuan, a look of curiosity appearing in her pale purple eyes.
How could a human being possibly break through without any danger?
Nie Yuan took out the purple pot and opened the lid.
The next second, Medusa's expression changed drastically.
The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, which she had obtained with great difficulty, darted into the pot covered with purple and black patterns.
"Stand still! Don't be so alarmed. You've covered this entire island, where can my forces possibly go?"
Out of the corner of his eye, Nie Yuan saw Medusa about to attack someone again, and he shouted angrily.
Medusa, who had raised her hand with a faint green glow at her fingertips, stopped when she heard Nie Yuan's words.
But she immediately frowned and said, "I will forgive you for the first time, but if you dare to yell at me again, I will not be so polite!"
When did a human being have the right to tell her what to do?
[Ding! Medusa has developed feelings of anger and patience, her emotional value has increased by 60.]
Nie Yuan ignored him, his mind entirely focused on the Forging Purple Pot.
This was his second time using it, and the first time he had incorporated a different kind of fire.
The surface of the purple pot shone brightly, and it trembled continuously as it hung in the air. The high temperature it emitted distorted the surrounding air and even deformed the light.
Medusa's attention was also drawn to it; what kind of pot was that that could withstand the high temperature of the strange fire?
She couldn't help but think back to when she first discovered it and took it away; even with her peak Dou Huang strength, she had been injured by this cluster of flames.
If we had this pot back then, would things have been different...?
A strange light flashed in Medusa's eyes.
[Ding! Medusa has developed feelings of covetousness, greed, and murderous intent. Emotion value +99]
Nie Yuan caught a glimpse of the message flashing by, and his heart sank.
Medusa at this stage is not the obedient and docile Cai Lin she will become later.
Medusa is now the queen of the snake people and the strongest in the Gama Empire.
A ruthless killer who occupies a favorable living environment for humans, while the snake people are forced to struggle for survival in the harsh desert, a queen filled with hatred!
After all, even a fool could figure it out: snake people, whose bloodline is naturally cold, would never be willing to stay in the scorching desert for an extended period of time if conditions allowed.
As time passed, the patterns on the teapot resembled a progress bar, with light spreading from the bottom towards the spout.
When the light reached the spout of the teapot, Nie Yuan knew the time was right. Ignoring the high temperature on the teapot, he held it up with both hands, turned it around, and pointed the spout towards Medusa.
call!
A cluster of pale green flames, carrying an incomparably violent aura, burst forth from the spout of the pot.
Medusa was stunned for a moment, not even able to react.
The flames were several times more ferocious than before.
The ground quickly turned black and cracked; grass and bamboo dehydrated and withered, turning from charred yellow to black charcoal and turning into powder.
It only took a breath or two.
"You're asking for it!"
Medusa roared, and the Dou Qi energy of a peak Dou Huang surged out from her body.
From the outside, the purple light shield, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly surged with a large amount of light, which clashed with the blue flames.
Nie Yuan pretended not to hear and hurriedly absorbed the truly enhanced Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame from the pot into his body.
The surging fire-attribute energy is more abundant than the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, yet it is very peaceful.
"The flames shimmered, and the crimson flames surged."
"Sweeping across the four regions, conquering the eight wastelands;"
"The five gods appeared in the world, burning heaven and earth to ashes;"
"The Northern Star Constellation Xuanwu has appeared in the world!"
Nie Yuan silently recited the Five Gods Burning Heaven Scripture, his hands forming hand seals, creating a large number of afterimages before finally stopping in front of his chest.
Countless blue flames surged from his face and body, converging towards the top of his head.
