A terrifying aura, surpassing even a Peak Dou Huang, condensed without dispersing, slowly permeating the entire temple.
"Has Her Majesty the Queen succeeded?"
Outside the temple, Hua She Er's anxious heart finally settled.
Yue Mei and the other snake-people were also relieved, dispersing one after another to begin issuing various orders.
Queen Medusa only needed to recuperate now; the other snake-people would arrange everything else properly.
Queen Medusa's evolution was just the beginning—the beginning of the Snake-People Clan's journey toward glory.
Next, the entire Snake-People Clan would become busy, preparing to leave the desert that was incompatible with their Bloodline.
In the shadows, several Dou Huang level snake-people Elders also finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They glanced at each other, nodded, and then quietly departed.
Currently, it was not suitable for them to be exposed before Xiao Xue.
Therefore, after confirming Medusa's successful evolution, they chose to leave silently once again.
However, their supposedly perfect concealment had long been detected by Ahri under her Spirit Realm Initial Stage Soul Power.
It was just that Xiao Xue, after guessing their identities, chose to ignore them.
Medusa's evolution was a matter of the highest importance within the Snake-People Clan; it would be strange if these Elders hadn't come.
As the final heavenly thunder fell silent, Ahri also retracted the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, gave Xiao Xue a quick greeting, and went back to sleep.
Using Soul Power with such high intensity and outputting the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire was no small drain for Ahri.
And that final bolt of heavenly thunder—it looked easy, but in reality, its power was quite significant.
Predictably, Ahri would likely be 'offline' for a few days.
"The current Medusa should have reached Dou Zong level combat strength."
While carrying Medusa toward the edge of the pool, Xiao Xue cast a [Detect] on her.
Seeing Medusa's Rank [73], Xiao Xue nodded inwardly.
Although Medusa's new body had not yet grown to its full form, the Heavenly Flame Serpent Body that Xiao Xue helped her condense already gave her the strength of a Dou Zong.
Now, as long as Medusa adapted to her human body, she could directly unleash Three-Star Dou Zong strength.
This current situation was far better compared to the One-Star Dou Zong Soul body in the original work.
Although Medusa had not evolved into an eight-colored form and remained a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, Xiao Xue didn't feel particularly disappointed.
In any case, there would be plenty of opportunities for Medusa to evolve in the future.
Xiao Xue first climbed onto the edge of the pool and then reached out to pull Medusa up.
Just as Xiao Xue was secretly delighted that she was about to have a Dou Zong level enforcer and began pulling Medusa out of the pool, a sudden change occurred!
Medusa, who had her eyes closed, suddenly reached out and gave a violent pull. Xiao Xue, caught off guard, fell back into the pool.
"...Cough, cough, what's wrong? Is the energy rampaging?"
Xiao Xue struggled to lift her head from the pool. "Hey, Medusa, are you okay?!"
Xiao Xue's heart tightened; she had never tried using Heavenly Flames to help someone condense a body before.
She had no idea what might happen during the forging of a Heavenly Flame body!
Suddenly, Medusa snapped her eyes open in the pool and stared fixedly at Xiao Xue.
Within those eyes, there was actually a flash of crimson.
"Are you kidding me?! You're a Dou Zong and you've been affected by Fire Poison?!"
Xiao Xue was greatly alarmed. It would be fine if Ahri were here.
But now that Ahri was gone, how could she possibly face off against a Medusa who had already broken through to Dou Zong!
Suddenly, a burst of Seven-Colored Divine Light erupted from the Heaven Swallowing Python's body, and a massive force sent Xiao Xue flying.
Xiao Xue crashed heavily against the pool wall, and then her aura began to plummet rapidly.
From Three-Star Dou Ling, it fell all the way down to the One-Star Dou Shi level.
—Medusa's Snake Seal Technique!
Medusa's Seal only suppressed Dou Qi cultivation, so Xiao Xue's physical attributes remained at the Three-Star Dou Ling level.
However, facing the current Medusa who had broken through to Dou Zong, it was still not enough.
No matter how terrifying Xiao Xue's strength was, it was impossible for her to be stronger than a Dou Zong level Medusa!
Xiao Xue regained her senses and looked at the Medusa before her.
In Medusa's eyes, Xiao Xue saw that deep within them, besides the crimson of the Fire Poison, there seemed to be a special light hidden.
The current Medusa was wild and domineering, as if she were an irrational beast.
"Oh crap, could it be the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire?!"
At this moment, Xiao Xue suddenly remembered the time when Medusa first began her evolution.
Back then, just smelling the aura Medusa unconsciously released had stirred up a surge of 'Evil Fire' within her.
Now, Xiao Xue finally understood why it had happened—
Medusa's bedchamber contained her snake venom!
That kind of snake venom was Medusa's racial Bloodline Beast Skill, which had the effect of stimulating bestial instincts!
And the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire could activate and strengthen the Bloodline Power of Demonic Beasts; it was the Legacy fire of Demonic Beasts.
And a Demonic Beast's Legacy naturally included reproduction!
The Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire already possessed the ability to trigger bestial instincts, and on top of that, Medusa possessed a special Bloodline Talent.
Now, under the reinforcement and stimulation of the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, and after the Fusion of her Soul and new body—
Medusa had directly lost control, or rather, she was in heat!
Furthermore, in the Medicinal Pills Xiao Xue had previously refined for Medusa, she had added a trace amount of Bone Chilling Flame.
When refining Medusa's body, she had used the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire.
Even if they weren't the Origin Fire Seeds, the Fusion of different Heavenly Flames still carried side effects!
In the original work, the reason Xiao Yan lost his mind at the Fallen Heart Flame was precisely because of the side effects brought by the Fusion of Heavenly Flames.
Xiao Xue had ignored this point before because she had given the Monster Core refined with Bone Chilling Flame to Ahri, and Ahri had been perfectly fine.
However, Xiao Xue had forgotten one thing—the current Ahri was a Soul body!
The 'Evil Fire' stimulated biological instinctive desires; Ahri, who had no physical body, naturally wouldn't be affected!
Now, under the combined effect of the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire and the 'Evil Fire,' the Medusa Xiao Xue faced would be even more terrifying!
