Chapter 96: Changes in Douqi Continent

Above the misty sky.

It should have been peaceful and sunny as usual, but for some reason it was now covered with dark clouds and the sky was gloomy, as if a thick lead curtain covered the earth, making it so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

A howling wind swept past, followed by heavy rain.

Thunder roared and lightning streaked across the sky, like a divine whip lashing in the air, deafening.

The raindrops fell like pebbles, shattered into pieces on the ground and soaked the dry land.

It looked like just an ordinary downpour.

But at this moment, many powerful people gathered under this dark cloud.

The patriarch of the Ancient Clan, Gu Yuan; the patriarch of the Medicine Clan, Yao Dan; the patriarch of the Thunder Clan, Lei Ying; the patriarch of the Flame Clan, Yan Jin; and the patriarchs of the strongest ancient clans except Emperor Hun Tian gathered together.

This kind of grand occasion is hard to see once in a thousand years.

They gathered together at this moment not because they had important matters to discuss, but because they all felt the terrifying pressure from the sky at the same time.

For them, this rain was not a blessing from God to the earth, but rather a wrath.

In the thick dark clouds, they vaguely saw a giant dragon, its entire body shining like it was made of gold, winding and coiling, with golden lightning splashing from its body surface.

Sometimes roaring, sometimes humming.
"Nine Profound Golden Thunder. It's actually the Nine Profound Golden Thunder!"

"Hey, are you serious?"

The speaker was Yan Jin, the patriarch of the Yan clan who had the hottest temper. As the only one who had fused two strange fires into a new strange fire, he also had a lot of experience in alchemy.

I am quite familiar with the Nine Profound Golden Thunder, so I have some doubts.

"That's right. I've been refining pills for so many years, I will definitely not admit my mistake."

Yao Dan, the patriarch of the Yao clan, nodded cautiously, and even had no intention of arguing with Yan Jin.

He recognized the true nature of this terrifying thunder dragon at first sight.

Hearing this, Gu Yuan and others were all shocked.

The Nine Profound Golden Thunder can be said to be the most terrifying elixir thunder below the Emperor grade, and it is also the elixir thunder that can only be attracted when refining the ninth grade golden elixir.

However, the entire Douqi Continent has not produced such high-quality elixirs for many years, so it is impossible for it to attract the Nine Profound Golden Thunder.

And the strangest thing is that no matter how long this giant dragon has been brewing in the clouds, it has no intention of landing.

It's like looking for a target but unable to lock onto it.

Crawling in the dark clouds, it roared angrily.

In the distance, in an unknown corner of the Douqi Continent, a cowherd boy was also looking up at the dark sky. Even though the green cow under him was trembling and wanted to escape from here as soon as possible, the boy remained unmoved.

He looked to be only about ten years old, and was wearing only ordinary coarse linen clothes, but a hint of desolation slowly emerged in his clear eyes.

It's like the truth has been uncovered, yet it also feels a bit helpless.

"Alas, it seems that the Douqi Continent is finally going to change."

An unusually vicissitudes of life voice sounded quietly from the shepherd boy's mouth, as if it possessed some kind of power, causing the surrounding air to slowly fluctuate.

After the ripples spread for a moment, the shepherd boy raised the short whip in his hand and swung it in the air, tearing the space apart like a sharp weapon.

The blue ox beneath him let out a low howl, as if relieved of a heavy burden, and raised its hoof to stomp into the void, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Meanwhile, Xiao Yuan, far away in the Tagor Desert, seemed to be unaware of the wrath from heaven.

Instead, he enthusiastically instructed Xun'er on how to awaken the Medusa soul sleeping in the body of the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python.

"Is it all right if I just feed her these fire lotus seeds?"

"Indeed, this Fire Lotus Seed is known as the Essence of the Fire Spirit. It took a hundred years of tempering to condense into one. It is the purest fire-attributed treasure of heaven and earth."

While Xiao Yuan was explaining incessantly, the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python was already spinning around anxiously as it looked at the lotus seed between Xun'er's fingertips.

Just like a puppy, it was spinning in circles, wagging its tail, its crystal clear eyes staring at the fire lotus seeds with a bit of greed, and it was neighing softly in a gentle tone, as if it was acting coquettishly.

Seeing this, Xun'er felt both amused and helpless.

"You're an ancient beast, didn't you get your brain burned by the strange fire? Why are you as cute as a puppy?"

Xun'er saw the anxious look on the Sky-Swallowing Python's face and decided not to tease it any further.

Being wealthy and powerful, she threw the fire lotus seeds directly into the air. The Sky-Swallowing Python leaped up as if by teleportation and swallowed the fire lotus seeds into its stomach in one gulp.

The enormous amount of energy filled the Sky-Swallowing Python's body, and a strong light suddenly burst out from its body, so dazzling that it made people squint their eyes.

However, this light came and went quickly.

After a moment, it completely dissipated, but the Sky-Swallowing Python did not change at all, still looking that small and cute.

Xun'er looked at the Sky-Swallowing Python, then blinked and looked at Xiao Yuan, saying, "It failed."

Cai Lin did not appear as expected, and even her soul did not change at all.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Nonsense, that's for sure, have you forgotten what I told you? You still need to practice the Burning Technique and cultivate the fire attribute fighting spirit for her to absorb.

However, there is another way. If you have other fire-attributed treasures, feeding them to this little guy might help it wake up faster."

After all, Cai Lin was promoted to the nine-color form by him in his dream, and his bloodline has been fixed, so the fire energy required must be more.

"In that case, Xun'er, feed her a little more."

Xun'er didn't doubt what he said at all, and took out a jade bottle from her ring.

The moment the cork was pulled out, a faint purple mist suddenly spread.

"Oh, it's the Companion Purple Crystal Source? I didn't expect you, a rich little woman, to be so wealthy."

When the Sky-Swallowing Python saw this, its human-like violet eyes were filled with excitement. It even leaped up again and dived into the bottle mouth, licking it fiercely with its tongue, regardless of Xun'er's permission.

Xun'er did not stop the Sky-Swallowing Python's behavior. Instead, because of Xiao Yuan's teasing, her cheeks were slightly flushed, and she explained in a mosquito-like voice:
"My father asked Elder Ling to give this to me in case of emergency while I'm away from home."

"I know, but that doesn't change the fact that you're a small-time rich woman."

Xiao Yuan nodded seriously and continued to tease, "Since you are so rich, when can you support me? I am easy to support. Just feed me some natural treasures and the meat of high-level monsters."

"."

Hearing this, Xun'er glared at him fiercely.

You bad guy, you have everything you want in your dream, even eating those fire lotus seeds like candy beans, do you still need Xun'er to support you?!
