Capítulo 76: Chapter 76: Nine-Colored Devouring Python!
As time passed, repeated muffled sounds emerged from the gigantic black-and-white torch, and the massive body of the Purple Snake was shrinking at a visible rate.
As the giant snake's body shrank, Queen Medusa's painful wails gradually weakened, becoming hoarser!
Medusa, being exceptionally proud and powerful, to make her emit such frantic and shrill screams, and eventually find it difficult to even utter a sound, was unimaginable torture.
Facing the burning of an alien flame without the defense of Dou Qi, and even voluntarily setting oneself on fire, the power of the alien flame was fully experienced. The pain wasn't just physical; it reached the soul...an excruciating agony.
Jiang Yun had the 'fortune' to try it once. He never wished to endure it again in his lifetime. He didn't even know how he managed to survive.
Moreover, Medusa's current situation was even more dire than his back then. He had the cleansing aura of the Bodhi Tree to aid him, whereas Medusa had to bear it alone. Due to the flames, her body was being destroyed and repaired simultaneously, doubling the pain.
Jiang Yun watched the scene expressionlessly. After all, this was all his doing. Although Medusa might gain significant benefits from this, the pain was still caused by him.
Staring at the massive purple snake writhing wildly in the black-and-white flames, gradually, under the burning flames, Medusa's Queen's shrill screams, which lasted for almost half an hour, began to weaken.
The huge body of the purple snake almost stopped twisting. The once beautiful purple scales were now charred black. The dozens of meters long body had shrunk to only two to three meters. The extent of such shrinkage was unimaginable pain.
"How miserable!"
Purple Pupil and Green Scales, having witnessed the entire process, exchanged a glance, hearts filled with lingering fears.
It was hard to imagine if they could persist if they were in Medusa's place.
"Did it fail?"
Looking at the motionless purple snake amidst the black-and-white flames, no matter how the flames continued to burn its body, it remained still, as if it had failed.
"Something's odd. Qing Lin thinks Brother Jiang Yun succeeded!"
Disagreeing with Purple Pupil's judgment, Green Scales felt something peculiar in her bloodline. Her intuition told her that something terrifying was about to appear.
"Success?"
Glancing at Green Scales in confusion, Purple Pupil then turned to Jiang Yun, hoping to detect any clues from his face, only to see him looking up at the sky.
Following his gaze, Purple Pupil was surprised to notice that the once clear sky had suddenly darkened. Clustered clouds, from unknown sources, slowly enveloped the sky.
"Boom—"
Thunder boomed from the clouds, and silver lightning danced wildly, like silver serpents.
"Thunder Tribulation!"
Seeing the appearance of the Thunder Tribulation, Purple Pupil's expression turned solemn as she placed herself in front of Green Scales. Having witnessed the power of a seven-tiered Dan Thunder, she was exceptionally cautious of this force of nature.
"It looks like it has succeeded!"
As Jiang Yun's words fell, a loud boom sounded from the sky.
"Boom—"
In an instant, the world was illuminated. A massive silver thunderbolt shot down from the clouds, striking directly into the black-and-white flames below.
Within a moment, the thunderbolt dissipated, as if it had merely appeared to bear witness.
Before the rumble subsided, the clouds in the sky began to recede rapidly. The sunlight shone again, and the phenomena disappeared as if they had never existed.
"Crack—"
As the Thunder Tribulation disappeared, the charred black giant snake began to emit faint cracking sounds.
The blackened snake's body started to shed its burnt outer layer. The snake's body wobbled, and something seemed to be emerging from within.
"Swish—"
With the sound of breaking air, the charred snake suddenly burst apart, sending black scales flying in all directions, its body turning instantly into black powder.
A vast, terrifying aura, mingled with ancient wildness, burst forth.
The ancient aura made Purple Pupil frown slightly. The agitation in her bloodline constantly reminded her that the entity's bloodline was extraordinary.
The aura came swiftly and receded quickly. Within mere moments, a nine-colored light shadow shot out from the corpse.
"Nine colors?"
Seeing this, Jiang Yun was slightly surprised. It was not seven-colored, but nine-colored!
Momentarily stunned, the light shadow moved incredibly fast, almost seemingly able to pierce through space. The nine-colored light flickered, and in an instant, it reached Jiang Yun, stopping in front of him.
The transition between extreme movement and stillness was seamless, without any distortion.
Jiang Yun now saw the full appearance of the entity. It was a slender snake about twenty centimeters long, covered in tiny nine-colored scales. Around its light purple serpentine eyes were vague black patterns, exuding a demonic aura.
A peculiar, fresh fragrance lingered around its body. Despite being just a snake, it radiated elegance and nobility. Its beauty was almost excessive, likely making many women forget their fear and loathing of snakes.
The nine-colored snake had no noticeable sharp attacking parts, yet Jiang Yun could sense the terrifying power within its tiny body.
"Reaching a sixth tier in strength, and even evolving into a nine-colored Devouring Python, with some unknown changes...interesting!"
After a brief moment of observation, Jiang Yun concluded his thoughts.
Medusa's evolution was a soul evolution, with her soul essence transcending. Casting off her old body, she used her soul power and her latent bloodline to construct a more formidable body.
Medusa's companion soul was the Violet Flame Serpent, with the bloodline of the Devouring Python, allowing her to evolve into one.
However, due to Jiang Yun's intervention and unknown changes, this evolution seemed more complete, reaching the realm of nine colors at once.
"Hiss hiss..."
The nine-colored snake floated in front of Jiang Yun. Its light-purple eyes showed no trace of killing intent, appearing pure and innocent as it gazed at him and hissed softly.
The little Devouring Python sensed a familiar aura from Jiang Yun, making it drop its guard.
Seeing this, Jiang Yun took out his exclusive nutrient—Purple Crystal Source—and handed it to the python.
The Devouring Python, unreserved, leaped to the bottle's opening and began voraciously consuming the elixir within.
"This is…"
During this process, Jiang Yun noticed in surprise that the Devouring Python's body was enveloped in a faint black flame as it consumed the Purple Crystal Source.
The flame flickered, and Jiang Yun clearly sensed the energy of the Purple Crystal Source rapidly depleting, while the Devouring Python's aura steadily increased.
"It even inherited a part of the Devouring characteristic of the Sacred Heavenly Fire?"
Then… did it also inherit the Undying Sacred Flame?
Jiang Yun pondered, intrigued, his gaze fixated on the little Devouring Python.
After finishing a bottle, the Devouring Python looked up pitifully at Jiang Yun, seemingly still unsatisfied.
"Heh, its appetite evolved too!"
Jiang Yun quipped helplessly, but continued to take out the Purple Crystal Source, handing it to the python.
After consuming five bottles in a row, the Devouring Python finally burped contentedly, lazily snuggling against Jiang Yun's hand.
It even coiled around Jiang Yun's wrist, swinging its body playfully like a swing.
"Xiao Yun!"
"Brother Jiang Yun!"
The crisp voices called as Purple Pupil and Green Scales walked over. Their eyes curiously observed the nine-colored Devouring Python in Jiang Yun's hand.
Regardless of other traits, the Devouring Python's appearance was certainly at the pinnacle of serpentine beauty, incredibly endearing.
"Is this Queen Medusa?" Purple Pupil asked, uncertain, looking at the adorably clingy nine-colored Devouring Python in Jiang Yun's hand. The once fierce and battle-ready Queen Medusa turned so docile… was she burnt silly?
"This is the new body that Queen Medusa evolved into, the nine-colored Devouring Python. Its bloodline is on par with the Void Ancient Dragon clan. Medusa's soul is currently asleep within, which is why it's a bit different now!"
Watching Purple Pupil and Green Scales play with the python, Jiang Yun explained with a smile.
The Devouring Python showed no aversion towards Purple Pupil and Green Scales, joyfully darting around them.
Indeed, the mutual attraction of ancient beast bloodlines.
"So, what do we do with her now?" Purple Pupil turned to Jiang Yun, asking while watching the playful Green Scales.
"As per our agreement, I helped Queen Medusa evolve. I can take something from the Serpent Clan. The little Devouring Python seems just right."
Hearing Jiang Yun's words, Purple Pupil rolled her eyes, thinking he was indeed a lecher. She chose not to expose this minor mischief.
Noticing Purple Pupil's eye roll, Jiang Yun felt awkward. He was merely curious about the differences of the nine-colored Devouring Python, inheriting the Sacred Heavenly Fire's traits, without any ulterior motives.
"We should leave now!"
Sensing the approach of several powerful forces, Jiang Yun, accompanied by Purple Pupil, Green Scales, and the Green Lotus Core Flame, vanished from the spot.
Shortly after Jiang Yun and his companions left, several elderly figures appeared at the scene.
"Mo Ba Si, Yue Mei, Yan Li..."
Seeing Mo Ba Si and others incapacitated, the four figures shouted in surprise. They released a terrifying pressure—it was the power of four peak Dou Huangs, close to Dou Zong level.
Centering among them was an old matriarch whose diamond-shaped pupils seemed to lock onto Mo Ba Si and his group like a venomous snake. After a moment, she said, "They're just unconscious; we can save them!"
Her voice was grating, like stones scraping against glass, making everyone feel uncomfortable.
Hearing this, the other three moved slightly, each helping to awaken the others.
"Great Elder..."
Upon waking and seeing the four figures, Mo Ba Si and the others exclaimed.
"Mo Ba Si, where is the Queen?" The old matriarch dismissed them, urgently inquiring.
"Great Elder..."
Seeing the four elders of the Serpent Clan together, Mo Ba Si and the others immediately felt reassured and recounted everything that had happened.
After hearing their account, the old matriarch frowned and said, "He did not kill you, indicating no malicious intent."
"But Queen Medusa..." Feeling the matriarch's softened tone, Mo Ba Si anxiously interrupted.
"Silence! Her Majesty has her own destiny. How dare you question it?" The matriarch coldly reprimanded, her eyes harshly fixed on Mo Ba Si.
"Elders, pursue in the other three directions for any traces. As for you, return to the clan!"
"Yes!"
After glancing at each other, they nodded in agreement and dispersed.
Once everyone had left, the Serpent Clan matriarch looked at the remaining bodies, recalling the earlier phenomena, and sighed.
"It seems Her Majesty has succeeded. It's just a matter of when she will return."
"Who are you?"
Gazing solemnly at the ethereal white-clad figure ahead, Jia Xing Tian felt a chilling intimidation, as if facing a primordial beast despite the lack of any tangible presence from the figure.
"Danger lies ahead. Please turn back," Yun Yi stated indifferently. His calm demeanor carried an undeniable authority.
Unable to bear the provocation from a mere youth, the fiery-tempered Yan Lion shouted angrily, "Brat, do you know who stands before you?"
"Who?"
Yun Yi swept a 'bewildered' glance over them before disdainfully retorting, "Mere frogs at the bottom of a well!"
"Boy, you court death!"
Yan Lion shouted angrily, his voice emanating a palpable silver lion roar directed aggressively at Yun Yi.
"Too weak!"
With an expressionless face, Yun Yi watched the approaching sound wave. His blood surged, emitting a resonant bell-like sound, intimidating. Following a systematic rhythm, his overpowering blood energy made him feel invincible.
With his duel wings ablaze with black flames, he burst forward like an arrow towards Yan Lion.
At this moment, without wielding any weapons, Yun Yi's fists alone, merging blood energy and martial force, carried a dragon's breath.
"Boom—"
