Battle Through the Heavens: The Strongest in the Entire Map, I Will Always Be Above You

"Your Majesty should also know that after you evolve, you will have the strength of a Dou Zong. I can easily obtain the Strange Flame by crushing you, so why should I wait until you successfully evolve and then fight you to the death?" Chen Yang looked at Medusa with a mocking expression.

"Sigh..." Medusa sighed, turned to look at the flower snake, then at the snake people in the city, smiled bitterly, and decided to hand over the strange fire.

"Your Majesty, please wait!" Just then, four figures flew over from the horizon. Their auras were sharp, just like Queen Medusa, and they were all peak Douhuang experts.

"Four elders?"

Medusa looked at the four people and was taken aback. Weren't these four old guys usually in seclusion trying to break through to the Dou Zong realm?

Why did you suddenly appear?

"Chen Yang!"

Yun Yun looked at the four people in front of her, moved closer to Yun Yang, and her long sword quietly appeared in her hand. Xiao Yan also put his hand on the Xuan Heavy Ruler, and silently instructed Yao Lao to be ready to possess her at any time.

Chen Yang reached out and patted Yun Yun's left hand to reassure her.

"Your Majesty, are you confident that you can successfully evolve?" The eldest elder stopped in front of Medusa and asked, while the other three stared intently at Chen Yang, fearing that he might suddenly make a move.

Medusa shook her head bitterly upon hearing this: "What confidence do I have? It's just a desperate gamble. I've made all the necessary preparations. I can only say it's a fight for survival!"

The Grand Elder nodded upon hearing this: "It seems Her Majesty the Queen was well prepared all along, is that right?"

Medusa nodded.

"In that case, we four old folks will fight to the death to buy time for Her Majesty the Queen. If we succeed, these three will surely be left alive today. If we fail, we four old folks will have at least experienced the prowess of a Dou Zong before we die!" The First Elder laughed heartily.

"This..." Medusa weighed the pros and cons in her mind upon hearing this. Was it worth it to sacrifice four elders for her slim chance of evolution?

"Your Majesty, do not hesitate. Only by successfully evolving can you save us!" the Grand Elder said in a deep voice.

The Snake-People have lived in this desert for hundreds of years because they have never had a Dou Zong level expert. If Medusa successfully evolves today, the future of the Snake-People will be absolutely glorious.

Those four old women were once Medusa Queens, but none of them had the talent to lead the snake people out of the desert.

Today, even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, they'll give it their all.

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Medusa no longer hesitated and turned to head straight for her temple, shouting as she went, "If you do not harm my four elders, Medusa will definitely offer up the Strange Flame with both hands if she successfully evolves, and will not be your enemy!"

After saying that, Medusa disappeared.

The four elders glanced back in the direction where Medusa had disappeared, feeling grateful and also impressed. This generation's Medusa Queen truly deserves to be called the most talented in hundreds of years. The future of the snake people can only be hoped for by her.

"Yun'er, Xiao Yan, you two step back. I'll deal with these four old geezers!" Chen Yang patted Yun Yun's hand and then said to the two of them.

“We can also help you keep one or two of them occupied!” Yun Yun said.

“I can also hold one back!” Xiao Yan said.

"Xiao Yan, forget about it. Even your teacher's soul power isn't omnipotent."

"As for Yun'er, I can't bear to see you get hurt. As for these four scoundrels, I want to see how long they can hold me back."

Chen Yang chuckled, took a step forward, and in the next instant, he was less than half a meter away from the Grand Elder. Then he raised his hand and threw a punch.

"brush!"

The four responded hastily, yet remained calm.

"Even if you are a Dou Zong, you might not be able to escape unscathed if the four of us join forces!" the Grand Elder said in a deep voice after managing to dodge Chen Yang's casual attack.

"furious!"

Chen Yang smiled disdainfully, and with a wave of his hand, he unleashed the Dragon Subduing Palm. The overwhelming aura instantly caused the four people's expressions to change drastically.

"Is this... is this the demeanor of a Dou Zong powerhouse?"

"Truly terrifying..."

Xiao Yan watched this scene from a distance, gasped, and was deeply shaken...

Chapter 61 Evolution Successful! The Devouring Python Shows Incredible Affection for Chen Yang!

On the Dou Qi Continent, there are many Dou Huangs who can rival Dou Zongs. The Golden and Silver Elders of the Black Corner Region, as twin brothers, although they cannot rival Dou Zongs, can still delay Su Qian, the Grand Elder of Canaan Academy.

The three elders of the Mulan Empire cultivated the Earth-rank intermediate-level technique "Three Beasts Savage Technique," which, with the enhancement of secret methods, could also rival a one-star Dou Zong.

Besides, in the original story, only Xiao Yan, the protagonist with cheat codes, was able to defeat a Dou Zong as a Dou Huang.

The gap between a Dou Huang and a Dou Zong can indeed be bridged by certain cultivation techniques and secret manuals, but only if your cultivation technique is far superior to mine!

At this moment, Chen Yang was equipped with a low-level Earth-rank cultivation technique, two low-level Earth-rank combat skills, and one mid-level Earth-rank combat skill. His physical body and combat experience had been elevated to the top of the one-star Dou Zong level by the system.

These four old women in front of me were all Medusa Queens of the Snake-People tribe, and after so many years of working together, they had even developed a certain combined attack technique.

However, all of this is in vain in the face of absolute overwhelming power.

"The dragon appears in the field!"

In the sky, Chen Yang silently recited a sentence in his heart. As he pushed out with his right hand, a fiery red five-clawed dragon flew out from behind him, and the dragon's four sharp claws went straight for the four old snakes.

"What kind of fighting technique is this?"

Seeing this, the leading elder suppressed her fear and unleashed a sharp, chilling aura from her longsword, slashing towards the dragon claw. However, her strongest fighting technique was no match for the defensive move "Dragon Appears in the Field." The dragon claw shattered her energy and trapped her and her sisters within its claws.

"ban!"

Chen Yang naturally didn't know sealing techniques, but as a Dou Zong expert, sealing the Dou Qi of several Dou Huangs was no problem. As he pointed out with his right index finger, four fiery red Dou Qi surged into the bodies of the four old snakes, sealing all their Dou Qi.

In an instant, the four elders of the snake-people tribe became fish on a chopping board, at his mercy.

"Heh... Is this... the difference between a Dou Huang and a Dou Zong?" The Grand Elder was not injured, but at this moment, her Dao heart had collapsed. In the past few hundred years, she had also considered herself to be exceptionally talented, believing that with the inheritance of the Snake-People race and the strength of a peak Dou Huang, even if she was not a match for a Dou Zong expert, she could still put up a fight against a Dou Zong expert.

As a result, the four peak Douhuang experts were no match for them. In fact, they didn't even have a chance to use their proud Dou techniques before their Dou Qi was sealed, leaving them at the mercy of their opponents.

……

"Gulp!" Xiao Yan swallowed hard as he watched Chen Yang finish the battle in less than three seconds, and asked Yao Lao in his mind, "Teacher, is the gap between a Dou Zong expert and a Dou Huang expert really that big?"

"You think that barrier that holds back countless peak Dou Huang experts is just talk?" Yao Lao rolled his eyes. "Dou Zong experts can already control a portion of the power of space. Unless they cultivate powerful secret techniques that allow them to break through the energy limit, other Dou Huangs are nothing but chickens and dogs in front of Dou Zong experts."

The old apothecary stroked his beard within the ring, a look of emotion on his face: "Young man, you have a long road ahead of you. Don't be overly ambitious. First, get your hands on this Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, and then..."

"Stop, stop, stop, I understand, teacher, please stop reading..." Xiao Yan hurriedly interrupted Yao Lao's speech. This old man has become a spirit, why is he still so talkative? Could it be that he was beaten to death for talking too much in his previous life?

Yun Yun was equally shocked. She knew there was a gap between Dou Huang and Dou Zong, but she hadn't expected the gap to be so large.

Four peak Dou Huangs were taken down by their own lovers in just a few seconds.

……

"Kill us!" The Grand Elder, looking at himself trapped between the dragon's claws and his Dao heart collapsing, said calmly from the sky.

"Kill? I am not a bloodthirsty person!" Chen Yang shook his head. He never intended to kill these four old snakes. If he were to kill them, Medusa would surely come after him with her sword.

At this moment, Yue Mei, who had finally arrived after much effort, heard Chen Yang's words from the sky and was speechless. "You're not a bloodthirsty person, then what about my team of loyal snake people?"

"Does Your Excellency intend to use us to threaten the Queen? If so, we would rather self-destruct than be used by you!" The Second Elder sneered.

"Hahaha..." Chen Yang laughed upon hearing this, then looked at the four old snakes, "Leaving aside the vast difference in strength between you and me, do the four of you still have the ability to self-destruct at this moment?"

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder was speechless, a struggle flashing in her eyes. At this moment, their battle qi was sealed by the opponent's blazing fire-attribute battle qi. Let alone self-destruct, they couldn't even mobilize the slightest bit of their own.

"Didn't your queen just say that she would offer up the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame with both hands as long as I don't harm you?"

"I'm quite willing to believe a king's promise."

"Of course, if she breaks her promise and tries to fight me to the death after successfully evolving, then I wouldn't mind turning the four of you into roasted snakes before she even makes a move!"

Chen Yang looked at the four people and showed a harmless smile, but to the four people, this smile seemed like the smile of a devil.

"..." The four fell silent. Now, the only thing they had done since their appearance was to give Queen Medusa the opportunity to evolve.

Moreover, it seems that this human Dou Zong powerhouse has no intention of interfering with the Queen's evolution. They can only hope that the Queen will complete her evolution and use the strange fire to save their lives.

……

Yun Yun and Xiao Yan had no objections to Chen Yang's decision.

The martial arts world isn't a place where fighting and killing can solve all problems.

The Snake-People race has five peak Douhuang experts, yet they did not invade the Jia Ma Empire. Instead, they chose to live in a secluded corner of the Tagor Desert, a place unsuitable for Snake-People to survive. They must have some ulterior motive.

If Chen Yang's actions can lead to good relations with the snake-people, it might not be such a bad thing.

……

The fighting has stopped!

The snake-man soldiers below looked at each other, unsure of what to do next.

Hua She'er and Yue Mei stood together, looking at the four elders imprisoned in the sky, their hearts filled with unease.

After an unknown amount of time, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred in the sky above the distant temple, with thunderclouds gathering.

"Her Majesty the Queen has successfully evolved?" Upon seeing this, the four elders were all filled with excitement.

"Teacher, is Medusa about to successfully evolve?" Xiao Yan asked Yao Lao in his mind.

"Heh... It seems Medusa is well-prepared, managing to evolve even under the onslaught of the strange fire. However..." Yao Lao drawled, making Xiao Yan roll his eyes, "Heh... However, some magical beasts awakening ancient bloodlines cause celestial phenomena and even incur divine wrath. If Medusa can withstand this lightning strike, she should be able to complete her evolution. If not..."

Although the old doctor hadn't finished speaking, Xiao Yan understood the meaning behind it and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

That's just how people are; they always sympathize with the weak.

At this moment, with thunder rumbling in the sky, how could Medusa, who was merely made of flesh and blood, possibly contend with the power of heaven and earth?

As expected, in everyone's sight, lightning struck down fiercely towards the temple. Even after the dark clouds in the sky dissipated, the snake people were once again filled with unease.

After an unknown amount of time, the snake-people felt as if each second was an eternity. Suddenly, a vast and terrifying aura instantly enveloped the entire city, and cheers immediately erupted throughout the city.

However, the aura came and went quickly, and the faces of the four elders, who had been beaming with joy, slowly fell.

"Was it a success or a failure?" Yue Mei looked at Hua She'er beside her, her face full of trepidation.

Flower Snake shook her head, unsure of what to do.

"Let's go take a look!" After the aura of the Dou Zong disappeared, Chen Yang knew that Medusa must have been struck by lightning and become stupid, just like in the original story, as Yao Lao said.

Enveloped by the power of space, along with the four elders and Xiao Yan and Yun Yun, Chen Yang took a step and arrived inside the ruined temple.

"Spatial power... This is the power of a Dou Zong!" Xiao Yan exclaimed, then quickly looked around for traces of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

Finally, he found a somewhat withered blue flame in the ruins.
