Snake-People Clan Temple.
Medusa was soaking in the bath, refining the medicinal power of the Medicinal Pill.
Wisps of white light flowed over Medusa's body.
The trace amount of Bone Chilling Flame within the Medicinal Pill had already begun to take effect, slowly purging the cold Bloodline within Medusa's body.
In this process, pain was naturally unavoidable; after all, the Bloodline resided not only in the flesh but also in the Soul.
The evolution Medusa needed was a synchronous evolution of both body and Soul, not just a simple Breakthrough to the seventh rank.
What she wanted was for her Soul to evolve into a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, for her body to be completely burned to ashes, and for a new body to be condensed.
The pain during this process could be imagined.
Enduring the scorching pain brought by the Bone Chilling Flame, Medusa gritted her silver teeth and, while changing her hand seals, rapidly absorbed the medicinal power of the Medicinal Pill.
As the medicinal power was refined, a faint white mist steamed up from the bath.
Xiao Xue actually felt that she smelled a faint, elusive sweet fragrance.
Charm was also a racial talent of Medusa's lineage; this innate seductive fragrance was undoubtedly an aphrodisiac poison.
Xiao Xue took a Clarity Pill from her storage ring and tossed it into her mouth.
Although they were both female and she had no interest in Medusa, reason and instinct were completely different matters.
Moreover, this was the critical moment for Medusa's evolution, and there could not be any mishaps.
After noticing that Medusa had absorbed most of the medicinal power, Xiao Xue untied her clothes and also entered the bath.
When entering the ice spirit cold spring, even though she had used Qi to protect her body beforehand, Xiao Xue could not help but shiver.
For a mere Dou Ling like her, wanting to bathe in the ice spirit cold spring as if nothing were wrong, just like Medusa, was still a bit of a stretch.
Xiao Xue steadied her mind, then softly called out to Ah Li, and the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire appeared in her hand.
The next moment, Xiao Xue pressed her palm onto Medusa's smooth back.
However, it was not Xiao Xue who was controlling the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire now, but Ah Li who had been asked to take over.
After all, when it came to controlling the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, no one was more skilled than Ah Li.
Although Xiao Xue could also borrow the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, compared to fine control, she was more than a notch behind Ah Li.
Moreover, although it was Ah Li taking over, Xiao Xue's senses were still there.
Xiao Xue could not help but sigh that Medusa's skin was truly as cold and smooth as a snake's.
Of course, Medusa's body temperature being so low had a lot to do with the cold Bloodline within her and the ice spirit cold spring she was currently soaking in.
Once Medusa successfully evolved with the help of the Heavenly Flame's power and condensed the Heavenly Flame Serpent Body, she would no longer be a "cold-blooded animal" like she was now.
Wisps of Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire flowed along the skin into Medusa's body, condensing the Bone Chilling Flame energy she had absorbed for her.
After the Impurities in her Bloodline were completely removed, Ah Li directly used her Spirit Realm Soul Power to repel the ice spirit cold spring around them.
Medusa and Xiao Xue were still standing in the bath, but within a two-meter radius around them, there was not a single drop of the cold spring.
This scene looked quite miraculous.
The next moment, Ah Li instantly expanded the fire, completely wrapping Medusa in the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire.
Queen Medusa had two forms: one was her current Snake-People form, and the other was her snake body.
After the Purple Nether Flame Snake evolved, it became the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python.
And if Medusa evolved in her Snake-People form, in the end, her snake tail would turn into two legs.
There was no essential difference between evolving from a Purple Nether Flame Snake to a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, or from a Snake-Person to a human form.
But for Xiao Xue or Ah Li, burning a large snake over ten feet long and a Snake-Person that was only a few meters long including the tail, the latter was naturally easier.
Therefore, Medusa did not transform into her original form but chose to evolve in her Snake-People form.
After being wrapped in the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, even Medusa could not help but scream in pain at this moment, which made Xiao Xue's scalp tingle.
Then, Ah Li considerately increased the firepower.
Following Ah Li's actions, Medusa's screams became even more miserable than before.
Xiao Xue could not help but feel a bit ashamed; she felt that Medusa had the heart to kill her.
However, she could only turn her head away and cheer for Medusa in her heart, "Come on!"
Although the fire was larger and the pain was more intense, Medusa did not choose to stop but worked hard to persevere.
The originally smooth purple snake scales quickly twisted and charred in the pink flames, then fell off, revealing the flesh and blood inside.
Bright red blood oozed from Medusa's body and was burned away by the Heavenly Flame, eventually leaving only terrifying scars on her body.
Queen Medusa was currently being tortured not only in her body but also in her Soul under the burning of the Heavenly Flame.
This was the difficulty of evolution; if Queen Medusa could not persist, she would truly die;
and if she endured it, it would be a Rebirth through fire, a complete transformation.
Moreover, compared to the wild Green Lotus Core Flame in the original work, the conditions for Medusa's evolution now could be said to be more than a notch better.
Without Gu He and others interfering from the outside, and with the accompanying Medicinal Pill and the most suitable Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire.
There was no possibility of failure in Medusa's evolution.
The evolution proceeded slowly and steadily during this process, and Medusa's snake tail was also slowly transforming toward human legs.
Within the pink flames, Queen Medusa screamed in pain for nearly half an hour before it gradually became weak.
And at this time, perhaps because her Qi had been exhausted and her blood had been burned away.
Medusa's new body had almost no movement, just twitching slightly.
It was hard to imagine what this body had been destroyed into by the Heavenly Flame; it was even harder to imagine how terrifying the pain Queen Medusa had endured.
However, all of this was worth it.
Heavenly Flame Body Refining, re-forging the body, evolving the Soul, Nirvana Rebirth!
Xiao Xue stepped forward to support Medusa's body, and as Ah Li's Soul Power was withdrawn, the ice spirit cold spring in the bath wrapped around them once again.
Medusa's scorching body temperature also dropped rapidly under the effect of the ice spirit cold spring.
Xiao Xue just held Medusa like this, waiting quietly.
The energy of heaven and earth had already surged; Queen Medusa's evolution was complete, and the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python was about to appear.
"Rumble..."
A huge silver thunderbolt descended from the sky, heading straight for Medusa and Xiao Xue.
This thunderbolt was completely caught by Ah Li with her immense Soul Power without any surprise.
This heavenly thunder seemed to be some kind of symbol, representing that Queen Medusa's evolution was completely finished.
The next moment, a terrifying aura surpassing the Peak Dou Huang condensed and did not dissipate, slowly permeating the entire temple.
