The Battle Through Heaven
The Evolution that works?
Hearing the piercing shrillness that Queen Medusa released from within ‘Heavenly Fire’, Xiao Yan's body shuddered coldly. His gaze passed through the bamboo leaf cover and saw a green-colored cluster of flames in the air. Inside, the huge purple snake was madly rummaging through its huge body. With places visible to Xiao Yan's eyes, he could clearly see that the snake scales on the purple snake's body started to quickly become distorted not long after they entered ‘Heavenly Fire’. Finally, they were charred black by ‘He Heavenly Fire’ before falling weakly from the purple snake's body.
After the snake scales fell from his body, fresh blood in bright red started to come out. However, the instant after the fresh blood appeared, it was burnt into nothingness by the frightening temperature of ‘Heavenly Flame’. Finally, the purple snake's body had new lines of frightening blood-colored scars.
"Zhi zhi"
Standing on a small island. Xiao Yan could even hear the squeaking sound emitted from ‘Heavenly Fire’. As the fresh blood quickly dissipated, the huge body of the purple snake also shrank at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.
For a haughty and powerful queen to be made to let out this wild piercing shrill, it was hard to imagine the kind of intense pain that Queen Medusa was currently experiencing. Under the burning of ‘He Heavenly Fire’, the pain he felt was not just pain on the surface of the body. Even his soul would not be able to escape from the burning. That kind of pain was something very frightening.
Standing on a distant rock, Xiao Yan stared intently at the cluster of flames with a pale face. The piercing screeching of Queen Medusa that caused one's heart to tremble gave her an incredible shock. He had to admit that this woman was stubbornly biased and crazy.
The movements caused by Queen Medusa were truly too big with a piercing shrill voice heard in over half of the city. Instantly, countless Snake people rushed to the roof and watched the region where the purple light was extremely rich with shocked expressions. There were some who wanted to hurry but were blocked by the fierce and powerful purple light. They could only stand outside and anxiously watch the huge purple snake wither within the green-colored flame from a distance.
In the sky, a figure of light swiftly headed towards this purple light. A moment later, it stopped outside the purple light, revealing Gu He's serious face.
"Did Queen Medusa begin to evolve?" Gu He watched as the distant green-colored flame shone brightly with great focus as he softly said. Unknowingly, both of his palms hugged each other while bitterly laughing, "Do we have no other choice but to sit here and wait for the result?"
"That teacher, what are we doing now?" Turning his head and looking at the surrounding people who had come after being warned, Xiao Yan frowned. He then watched the green-colored cluster of flames that seemed to have changed the air before asking a question in his heart.
"Ugh just wait. ‘The Green Lotus Core Fire’ has currently been provoked by Queen Medusa and is becoming more wild and ruthless. Anything close to a certain distance from it would be burned into nothingness. " Said Yao Lao helplessly.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's gaze swept over the green-colored flame. He discovered that the small pond that was originally filled with ‘Cold Fountain Ice’ Spirit had become an empty black hole. At a glance, the empty hole had at least a depth of over ten meters. In addition, the surrounding bamboo trees around ‘Heavenly Fire’ instantly turned into ash. As the wind blew fiercely, the huge bamboo forest turned into a flat plain.
"The terrifying destructive power ..." Xiao Yan wiped the sweat off his face. He felt the air around him becoming hotter. Shaking his body slightly, he summoned a Purple Flame robe to the surface of his body and retreated a few steps. Only then did he feel a little better.
In the green-colored flame, Queen Medusa's sharp shrill continued for nearly half an hour before they gradually became weaker. At this moment, the huge body of the purple snake seemed to have stopped thrashing because its energy had been depleted. His body, which was originally covered by beautiful purple-colored scales, now became charred black and shrunk to a size of twenty to thirty feet from over a hundred feet long. It was hard to imagine how many bones, flesh and blood had been burned within the flame.
Outside the purple-coloured light curtain, more and more Snake-People stood on the roof with blank gazes staring at the squirming Purple Snake. The screams of the Purple Snake roared throughout the city, spreading a desolate atmosphere that covered the sacred city of the Snake-Tribe.
Inside the green-colored flame, Queen Medusa's body lay still and still, allowing the ‘Green’ Lotus Core Fire to continue burning her body. A faint charred smell slowly came out.
"Did he fail?" Outside the purple-colored curtains, a black-robed person suddenly appeared beside Gu He. Observing Queen Medusa who had stopped moving inside ‘He Heavenly Fire’, she sighed inexplicably. He was silent for a moment before he bowed his body to where Queen Medusa was. Although her character was haughty and indifferent, she felt that she should give the appropriate respect to this queen who dared to let ‘He Heavenly Fire burn her body to evolve.
"Ugh ..." Observing the green-colored flame, Gu He beside him also let out a soft sigh. This Queen Medusa who had once made a headache for the strong within the Jia Ma Empire had fallen in such a manner. It was like a drama.
After Queen Medusa's shriek disappeared, the entire city slowly fell into a deadly silence. A moment later, many pairs of hateful gazes turned to Gu He and the black-robed person in midair.
Ignoring that hateful gaze, the black-robed person stared indifferently at the cluster of green-colored flames in the distance. A moment later, the eyebrows under the black robe fused slightly. Raising his head, he looked at the sky that had suddenly become darker. After a moment of silence, his cold voice became a little more serious, "Something's wrong."
"What's that?" Hearing this, Gu He's expression stiffened and he hurriedly asked.
"The natural energy here suddenly surged." The black-robed person looked up at the sky and said calmly.
Seeing the situation, Gu He also hurriedly raised his head and watched the sky. His expression immediately changed. The originally bright and sunny sky suddenly became darker. A cluster of dark clouds of unknown origin slowly covered the sky.
"Bang!" A roar of thunder was suddenly emitted from the dark clouds. A flash of silver lightning flashed swiftly throughout the sky, like many silver-colored long snakes.
"What's going on?" Sensing the wild energy contained within the dark clouds, Gu He swallowed his saliva and asked flatly.
The black-robed person stared intently at the dark clouds in the sky. In a grim voice, he said, "I once read an ancient book. In it, it was noted that when legendary Magic Monsters from ancient times were born or when their strength was enhanced, they would cause some natural phenomena due to the uncoordinated amount of energy in their bodies. However, all of these classes of legendary Magic Monsters were extremely powerful existences. The top among them could even be compared to a human Dou Zong or Dou Sheng. In the current Dou Qi continent, the legendary Magic Monster class that existed was very rarely seen. "
"You mean he has successfully evolved?" Gu He's eyes shrieked as he asked in a shocked voice.
"I'm not sure." The black-robed person shook his head and said calmly
"Do we need to retreat?" Gu He clenched his brows and asked with hesitation seen in his voice.
"Let's wait a minute. Even if he managed to evolve, he would lose quite a lot of energy after being burned at ‘He Heavenly Fire’ for a long time. In such a situation, finding a quiet place to recuperate would be the wisest choice for him. " The black-robed person shook his head and voiced his opinion.
"It's alright. Let's just see." Hearing that opinion, Gu He hesitated for a moment before nodding his head. He would raise it when a loud roar sounded from the clouds above his head. In an instant, the sky brightened as an enormous silver-colored lightning shot out from the clouds, passing through the purple-colored light curtain and smashing into the green-colored cluster of flames.
Lightning appeared and disappeared quickly. Before the roar of lightning dissipated from everyone's ears, the dark clouds in the sky began to dissipate rapidly. A moment later, scorching sunlight once again covered the entire city.
The aftershock gradually disappeared from everyone's ears. Many people hurriedly directed their gazes at the purple-colored light curtain. However, after the lightning struck, a faint green-colored fog began to seep from the small island, effectively blocking everyone's view.
"The green-colored fog was something that was released when the previous lightning struck ‘Heavenly Fire’. It can erode one's Spiritual Strength. Whatever was happening inside had been completely isolated. " After sweeping his Spiritual Perception within the curtain of light, Gu He shook his head and said with a frown,
"Wait until it's spread." The black-robed man said calmly.
Gu He nodded. However, the Dou Qi in his body gradually began to flow, preparing to retreat at any moment.
As the lightning from the sky struck, Xiao Yan chose to hide behind a boulder. Even though he did this, the enormous impact of the lightning still shook the boulder into powder. If Yao Lao had not acted to protect him in the crucial moments, Xiao Yan might have been struck to death by this power on the spot.
"What a terrifying lightning ..." Climbing up from the ground, Xiao Yan stared at the small, empty island. He could not help but breathe cold air.
What's going on inside? Xiao Yan patted the dust on his body and watched the dense green-colored mist around him. He frowned slightly and slowly walked towards the middle.
As he gradually walked towards the center of the small island, the green-colored flames in the air once again appeared. However, the green-colored flame had returned to the size of its original palm. It floated quietly in the air, repeatedly changing its shape.
Lowering his gaze from ‘He Heavenly Fire’, he found a large charred black snake lying on the ground quietly without the slightest sound. His ice-cold body was no different from a dead snake.
"Did he fail?" Observing the huge, extremely shrunken snake whose exterior had been burned to the point of becoming somewhat terrifying, Xiao Yan took a gentle breath. Did a Dou Huang of his generation simply disappear in this manner?
"Ugh, we should go and get ‘Api Heavenly’." Xiao Yan shook his head gently, made a detour around the corpse of the huge snake and arrived below ‘Heavenly Fire’. He was just about to ask Yao Lao how to handle it when a soft ‘ka cha’ voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Hearing this sudden voice, Xiao Yan's body suddenly shook. He slowly turned his head and faced the source of the voice. Immediately, his eyes shrank to the size of needles.
