When Medusa Queen's graceful dance finally came to a halt, she glanced back over her shoulder and cast Lin Yuan a bewitching smile, one smile capable of toppling nations. She gently nodded, signaling that it was time to begin.
Lin Yuan took a deep breath and lightly raised his right hand toward the Green Lotus pedestal. The source flame of the Green Lotus Core Flame, like a ferocious beast released from its shackles, violently broke free from the restraints of the pedestal. It swelled explosively in midair, transforming into an enormous, surging fireball that radiated destructive fluctuations.
Lin Yuan removed all restraints, allowing the Heavenly Flame to fully unleash its inherently destructive nature.
Medusa Queen gazed at the Green Lotus Core Flame, inhaled deeply, then slowly removed the robe from her body, revealing her flawlessly beautiful form to the air. With her jade-like hand resting lightly on her fragrant shoulder, she bowed slightly toward the Heavenly Flame suspended in midair, offering it a solemn salute.
Immediately after, Medusa Queen's hands began forming a series of strange and intricate seals. As the seals changed, the surrounding Heaven and Earth energy was violently stirred. A massive energy vortex rapidly took shape, with Heaven and Earth energy converging toward her at its center like countless rivers flowing into the sea. At the same time, her body became enveloped in a dense and mysterious purple radiance.
Suddenly, an eerie cry echoed from within the light, followed by an intense flash. As the brilliance faded, a gigantic purple serpent over ten zhang long appeared in midair. It was the true form of the Snake-type magical beast soul Medusa Queen had fused with, the Purple Netherflame Serpent, an exotic beast possessing a trace of Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python bloodline.
After circling through the air several times, a ruthless gleam flashed through the purple serpent's eyes. Without the slightest hesitation, it dove straight down, plunging into the Green Lotus Core Flame that was radiating terrifying destructive power.
The instant the purple serpent entered the Heavenly Flame, a piercing scream rang out—so shrill and agonized that it was hard to believe it came from the proud Medusa Queen herself. One could scarcely imagine the intense agony she was enduring at that moment.
At the activation of the evolution secret technique, Medusa Queen's physical body and soul were simultaneously subjected to the frenzied incineration of the Heavenly Flame. She resolutely endured unprecedented torment and tempering, seeking that fleeting opportunity for transformation amid utter suffering.
Within the Heavenly Flame, the enormous purple serpent writhed madly. Its purple scales gradually scorched and peeled away under the searing heat, crimson blood gushing forth, only to be instantly reduced to nothingness by the Heavenly Flame. As the blood rapidly drained away, the serpent's massive body visibly shrank at an alarming rate.
Lin Yuan, who possessed deep understanding of the evolution secret technique, immediately activated his soul perception to its fullest, closely observing Medusa Queen's changes, especially those occurring at the soul level.
Medusa Queen's agonized cries persisted for nearly half an hour before gradually weakening. This was not because the pain had subsided, but because the purple serpent had seemingly lost all strength to struggle, allowing the Green Lotus Core Flame to continue its merciless incineration. Its once ten-zhang-long body had now shrunk to only two or three zhang.
It was not only her physical body, her mind and soul were also enduring immense torment. The burning of the Heavenly Flame tortured her consciousness while rapidly consuming her soul power. Fortunately, through prolonged soul nourishment and the Heavenly Soul Pill, her soul power had surged tremendously. Coupled with her powerful obsession anchoring her consciousness, she managed to retain a sliver of clarity. It was precisely this fragment of clarity that allowed her to grasp the subtle, wondrous changes occurring within her soul under the incineration of the Heavenly Flame, and to seek that critical opportunity for evolution.
This was the decisive moment, one that gambled on fate and destiny itself. If she failed to find the trigger to awaken the ancient bloodline power hidden within her bloodline before her consciousness collapsed or her soul power was completely exhausted, she would vanish from this world forever.
Time passed with oppressive urgency.
Suddenly, as if some dormant force had been activated within the Heavenly Flame, a subtle and complex soul aura began quietly gestating atop the original soul. A noble, vitality-filled soul presence emerged from the flames like a phoenix reborn through nirvana.
High above, dark clouds began to gather faintly, as though heralding an impending transformation.
At this moment, Lin Yuan, who had been watching intently felt a sudden flicker of astonishment in his eyes. He could clearly sense that the newly born soul aura was not singular, but dual—one strong, one weak. Between the two souls existed an indescribable, profound connection.
"As expected. All this preparation was not in vain, there truly are two souls. Since both new souls have successfully emerged, then my contingency plan can finally be put to use."
Lin Yuan's fingers moved rapidly as he formed several complex hand seals. The Green Lotus Core Flame that had been burning Medusa Queen instantly underwent a transformation. It swiftly drew in the power of subterranean fire from its surroundings, growing even more vast and majestic. At the same time, the flame's form changed—from an irregular fireball into a colossal green flame lotus, layer upon layer enveloping the remaining one-zhang-long purple serpent. Heaven and Earth energy surged toward this gigantic green flame lotus, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle.
Simultaneously, Lin Yuan took out the soul-nourishing spiritual liquids and medicinal ingredients he had prepared in advance from his storage ring and threw them into the green flame lotus without hesitation. Under Lin Yuan's precise control, the Heavenly Flame rapidly refined these substances, channeling their essence little by little toward the two newly born souls, providing an unceasing supply of nourishment for this transformation.
"Manifest!" Lin Yuan shouted softly.
Under the incineration of the flames, the purple serpent's body was completely reduced to ashes. Two seven-colored soul phantoms—one strong, one weak, fully emerged, revealed between heaven and earth. They were none other than two Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python souls.
Seeing this, Lin Yuan immediately split off a Shadow Clone. The clone entered the green flame lotus, observing the minute changes within the flames at the closest possible distance. Under his meticulous control, both Heaven and Earth energy and the medicinal essence of the ingredients nourished the two newly born souls simultaneously.
The stronger Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python soul began circulating the evolution secret technique, using its vast soul power to condense a brand-new body—a physical form perfectly matched to this reborn soul. Meanwhile, the weaker seven-colored soul remained dazed and undeveloped, its intelligence seemingly unawakened, instinctively devouring the medicinal nourishment scattered within the flames.
"This is bad. The young Seven-Colored Heaven-Devouring Python lacks sufficient spirituality, its consciousness has yet to awaken."
Lin Yuan's gaze sharpened as he made an instant decision. He immediately entered a state of Void clarity, his eyes turning distant and lofty. Ignoring the piercing pain in his soul, his hand seals shifted as he forcibly activated the soul-gathering technique obtained from the legacy of an Eighth-Grade alchemist.
"Gathering Spirit Light—Awaken Heavenly Wisdom!"
Lin Yuan's shadow clone transformed into pure, highly spiritual energy and surged toward the bewildered Seven-Colored Heaven-Sawllowing Python soul. Nourished by this torrent of soul energy, the weak Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python soul swiftly cast off its dazed state, its eyes becoming clear and lively. At the same time, the powerful Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python soul seemed to comprehend something; a trace of realization flashed through its eyes as it projected a beam of spiritual light toward the weaker soul. After receiving this spiritual light, the weaker Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python immediately began condensing a physical body using its soul power.
Now fully immersed in the state of absolute clarity, Lin Yuan perceived everything before him with utmost focus, recording every detail.
As the Snake-People evolution secret technique successfully operated, pure soul power began to coalesce into new bodies. The ancient exotic beast—the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python, was about to reappear upon the Dou Qi Continent.
At this moment, dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky, slowly covering the heavens.
Immediately afterward, a thunderous roar resounded. In an instant, heaven and earth were bathed in blinding light. A massive silver lightning bolt, like a divine baptism, shot down from the clouds, striking the green flame lotus formed from the Green Lotus Core Flame.
With a world-shaking explosion, lightning and fire collided, and a terrifying wave of energy surged outward, stirring up a violent energy storm.
Soon after, the dark clouds rapidly dissipated.
When the energy storm subsided, the Green Lotus Core Flame had already returned to its original seed state, quietly floating in midair.
The figures of two Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Pythons then appeared in Lin Yuan's sight—one with an arrogant gaze, the other with pure, innocent eyes.
The proud Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python looked at Lin Yuan, an unusual glimmer flashing through her eyes.
Immediately afterward, dazzling seven-colored light radiated from her body. When the light faded, Medusa Queen's alluring figure once again appeared before Lin Yuan. Her former serpent tail had transformed into a pair of delicate jade-like feet standing in midair, while a vast and majestic aura spread outward from her body at an astonishing speed.
Medusa Queen had successfully evolved.
