Battle Through the Heavens: The Alchemist Starting from the Ye Family

These are four old women of the snake-people tribe, but their ages are impossible to discern from their appearances; they seem to resemble four withered old trees sitting there...

"Four elders!"

Although Queen Medusa remained dignified, her tone towards the four old women carried a hint of respect.

"Next, I plan to follow the secret method of my snake-people clan and use the power of the strange fire to evolve myself. Therefore, for the next period of time, the four elders of the clan will need to take care of me."

Upon hearing Queen Medusa's words, the old woman sitting in the center suddenly opened her eyes, and as she did, the other three old women also abruptly opened their eyes, and four chilling auras rose up...

"No!"

With anger lurking in his voice, the elder sitting in the center directly voiced his objection.

"Your Majesty, are you aware that although the method of evolution with strange fire can awaken the deepest bloodline of my snake people, the process is fraught with danger. If one is not careful, one will end up burning oneself in the fire."

None of the queens of my Serpent Clan have dared to attempt this method lightly, so why should Your Majesty take the risk?

The second elder, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but speak up to offer advice.

Unfortunately, Queen Medusa, having already made her decision, showed no intention of heeding advice. She merely looked at the four of them indifferently and said, "I'm not here to solicit your opinions. The evolution is imperative. As for matters concerning the clan, the four elders can decide for themselves..."

After speaking, Queen Medusa did not linger and turned to leave the room.

Watching that aloof figure disappear through the door, the four elders of the snake-people clan were instantly filled with resentment...

Unfortunately, although they held a high status, they wielded little real power within the Serpent People's tribe, despite their supreme authority.

They had no right to stop the Queen's decisions, so even if they were angry, they could do nothing about Queen Medusa.

Moreover, during the process of this Medusa Queen's succession, there had already been discord between her and the elders, and an elder even died because of it...

After a long silence, the second elder, whose temperament was more gentle, finally spoke up: "Eldest sister, since Her Majesty the Queen has made up her mind, then we don't need to interfere in this matter. However, the clan still needs someone to oversee things, so I'll go instead..."

After much deliberation, the Grand Elder finally shook his head and gave up, saying, "Alright, but the four of us have been out of the world for many years. You just need to keep watch from the shadows. Unless a powerful enemy descends, don't show yourself."

The power structure among the snake people is quite unique, with the queen possessing supreme power!

As for the council of elders, they have only one task: to groom the next Medusa Queen to succeed to the throne when it becomes vacant...

When a new Medusa Queen ascends to the throne, it will be the day the elders step back from the limelight, so that all power remains in the hands of the Queen.

……

……

Three days later, on the island in the middle of the lake deep within the temple, it was still Ye Chen and Queen Medusa.

In the center of the small pool filled with icy spring water, a blue lotus seat, as if carved from jade, floated on the surface of the pool, and on the lotus platform at the center of the lotus seat, a ball of blue flame was slowly rising.

"Ready?" Ye Chen turned his head, looked at the stunning woman beside him, and asked softly.

Queen Medusa's attire was different from before; a comfortable purple brocade robe enveloped her graceful figure. Although slightly loose, it still couldn't conceal her voluptuous and fiery curves...

A pair of narrow, light purple eyes, with a natural allure that seemed to be releasing its seduction at all times.

Under the purple brocade robe, a purple snake tail was exposed, sweeping it lazily, releasing wildness and strange amorous feelings.

"Everything is ready. Now, it's up to fate..." Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the blue flames in the small pool. Under the reflection of the light, the pale purple eyes of Queen Medusa seemed to flicker with the arc of the flames.

Seeing this, Ye Chen smiled gently and comforted her, "Don't worry, they say beautiful women are always lucky. This time, Heaven will definitely not let a beauty like Her Majesty the Queen get into trouble."

She glanced at the guy sideways, and although she knew he was just being complimentary, Queen Medusa couldn't help but smile slightly.

"let's start!"

In a good mood, Queen Medusa looked at the strange fire in the pool again, her voice full of confidence.

Seeing this, Ye Chen didn't hesitate. He changed his hand seals, and then the cyan lotus seat suddenly trembled. The cyan energy that had been binding the strange fire gradually weakened and disappeared...

In an instant, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, now freed from its restraints, burst forth violently. As the storm intensified, it transformed into a raging inferno in the blink of an eye.

Beneath this blazing blue flame, the icy spring water in the small pool was evaporating at a visible rate.

This scene made even Queen Medusa, who was already mentally prepared, nervous. She bit her red lips lightly, swallowed the pill that Ye Chen had prepared in one gulp, and then reached out her jade-like hand to slowly unbutton her brocade robe...

Chapter 114 Tragic

When the dazzling light enveloped Queen Medusa's entire body, Ye Chen, who had just witnessed all the beautiful scenery, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn it, thank goodness I have good self-control..."

The legendary Queen Medusa was said to possess an innate allure, a power that, for men, was like the most potent aphrodisiac in the world.

Moreover, given the beautiful scenery just now, Ye Chen's ability to suppress his true nature already demonstrates exceptional self-control.

The gaze once again fell upon the ball of light that Queen Medusa had transformed into…

The ball of light expanded and contracted continuously. After a moment, a roar, somewhat like a lion's roar and somewhat like a tiger's howl, resounded from within the light. Shortly after the roar, the blinding light suddenly intensified.

Under the blinding light, Ye Chen reflexively closed his eyes. A moment later, when he opened them again, he was shocked to find that a giant purple snake, over ten zhang long, was hovering above the small island.

"Is this Queen Medusa's serpentine form?" Ye Chen couldn't help but wonder to himself.

The giant purple serpent had a long and powerful body, with a subtle sense of elegant beauty. Its pale purple pupils were not as ferocious as those of ordinary magical beasts, but rather exuded a sense of tranquility and serenity.

But regardless, if she were only in this form, Ye Chen would absolutely not have any interest in her! After all, if Bai Suzhen didn't transform, Xu Xian definitely wouldn't be able to bring himself to kiss her, and would probably be terrified...

At this very moment, countless snake-people warriors and powerful figures throughout the entire holy city of the snake-people witnessed this scene, and they were all praying for their queen.

"Your Majesty will surely succeed!" Yue Mei looked up at the giant serpent in the sky, clenching her small fists firmly.

The other leaders nodded in agreement, but their eyes were filled with deep worry.

Unfortunately, they were all well aware of the snake-people's method of evolution—it was far too dangerous. Moreover, this evolution was completely unpredictable; even if it succeeded, no one could guarantee whether the outcome would be good or bad…

Unfortunately, it's no use saying anything now; all they can do is wait for the final result.

……

……

On the island in the middle of the lake, Queen Medusa, who had transformed into a snake, fixed her eyes on the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame below. After a moment, her enormous snake head looked in Ye Chen's direction.

Ye Chen naturally understood what she meant, and nodded slightly to her with a solemn expression.

Seeing this, Queen Medusa in the sky, controlling her enormous serpentine body, circled several times before letting out a clear, low growl, and then resolutely plunged headlong into the ball of blue flame.

The instant the purple serpent burrowed into the strange fire, Queen Medusa's shrill scream suddenly rang out, sending chills down one's spine.

Upon seeing this, Ye Chen's eyes narrowed, and then his immense soul power surged forth. He grasped the icy spring pool from afar, and the icy spring water in the pool transformed into a trickle, instantly pouring onto the snake's body surrounded by the strange fire, thus reducing the temperature of the strange fire for Queen Medusa...

Queen Medusa's so-called evolution was actually achieved by using the strange power of the strange fire to first condense her own bloodline power, and then by undergoing trials between life and death to stimulate this bloodline, thereby achieving the goal of evolution.

However, there is a fatal problem in this process: whether the person using this secret technique can withstand the initial burning of the strange fire...

If she can withstand the strange fire, then with her bloodline activated, Queen Medusa can easily save her life. But if she can't withstand it, then all is lost!

At this moment, Ye Chen was using the cold air of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring to lower the temperature of the strange fire. Although this would prolong the time it took for Queen Medusa to condense her bloodline and cause her to suffer more excruciating pain, it would at least increase her chances of survival by 10%. So even if she suffered more, it would be worth it.

Anyway, it's not me who will suffer, and with the Soul Cleansing Pill and the Spirit Protecting Pill, Queen Medusa won't suffer any soul damage in the process, so just do it.

……

……

The mournful wailing continued in the sky.

Ye Chen gazed at the ball of azure flame in mid-air, within which a huge purple snake was writhing wildly. As far as he could see, he could clearly see that the scales on the purple snake's body began to twist rapidly shortly after entering the strange fire, and were eventually charred black by the strange fire, falling helplessly from the purple snake's body.

After the snake scales fell off, bright red blood gushed out. However, the blood was instantly burned into nothingness by the terrifying temperature of the strange fire, leaving behind extremely glaring bloody marks on the purple snake's body.

This was even with Ye Chen's assistance using the Ice Spirit Cold Spring...

Even Ye Chen, who was mentally prepared, couldn't help but tremble as he listened. If he had to endure such pain, he would rather die…

Time passed second by second, and at this moment, the entire holy city of the Serpent People was filled with the mournful cries of their queen.

"Why hasn't this ended yet after so long..."

Above the temple, in a place unseen by anyone, the second elder of the snake-people clan stared solemnly at the blue flames in the sky, muttering to himself.

Even with Queen Medusa's strength, it would be impossible for her to withstand such terrifying strange fire for so long.

According to the Second Elder's deduction, this evolution should have ended long ago. The result was either a successful evolution, or the Queen being reduced to nothingness by the strange fire…

Moreover, even if the body can withstand such a long period of burning, the soul may not be able to. If it were me, such a painful experience would probably have caused my soul to disintegrate long ago!

However, according to the Second Elder's perception, although Queen Medusa was in pain, her soul power not only did not weaken, but also showed signs of increasing...

"Could it be that we can really succeed this time?" Thinking of this, the Second Elder felt a surge of excitement.

Just as the Second Elder was thinking this, the surrounding world suddenly changed...

The once clear sky suddenly darkened, as clusters of dark clouds, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, slowly enveloped the sky.

"Boom!" A roaring sound of thunder suddenly came from the dark clouds, and silver lightning flashed randomly in it, like long silver snakes.

"This is……?!"

After a moment of stunned silence, the Second Elder's face lit up with ecstasy.

"A celestial phenomenon has occurred! Her Majesty the Queen has succeeded!!!"

Chapter 115 Baptism

The immense impact of the lightning strike shattered the boulder into dust. Had Ye Chen not reacted quickly and dodged at the crucial moment, he too would likely have been injured by the force on the spot.

"Burning my body with strange flames and tempering it with heavenly lightning, this evolution is truly too painful!"

Hiding in the distance, Ye Chen muttered to himself with lingering fear.

Perhaps because the guy who provoked it was burned to a crisp, the previously volatile Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame had returned to its previous state, quietly hovering in mid-air, constantly changing its shape.

As for the giant purple serpent that Queen Medusa had transformed into, it lay there silently, its body charred black, its cold flesh clearly indicating it was a dead snake.

However, the perceptive Ye Chen could clearly perceive that within the charred snake's body, a faint soul was undergoing a slow transformation...

boom! boom! boom!

Like a heartbeat, a rainbow-colored sphere enveloped a soccer ball, pulsating with a strange rhythm.

This lasted for fifteen minutes, and then, suddenly...

Click~~

Bang!

The seven-colored light shattered, and then Ye Chen vaguely saw a half-foot-long seven-colored snake shoot out like lightning. Then, in a flash of light, it transformed into a perfect, delicate body, which was displayed before him without reservation.

"Holy crap!"

Ye Chen's eyes widened suddenly, and then he felt a chill rise from his back, causing him to quickly turn his gaze back to the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame in the sky.

"Humph!"

A cold snort reached Ye Chen's ears, causing him to raise his hand and wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

Luckily, I reacted quickly!

While secretly rejoicing, Ye Chen quickly changed his hand seals, and then saw the Azure Lotus Seat, which was originally located in the center of the pool, fly out rapidly. Then, a beam of azure light shot out from the central lotus platform, and once again took back the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame in the sky.

"Xu~"

With a sigh of relief, Ye Chen put the Azure Lotus Throne and the sealed Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame back into his storage ring before turning to look at Queen Medusa, who was already dressed…

She was still wearing a loose purple brocade robe, but it wasn't the one she had just taken off.

Most importantly, what should have been a wild snake tail has now been replaced by a pair of long, slender, white legs...

The shimmering white light made Ye Chen squint.

"Perfect evolution? It can actually maintain its human form..."

However, in theory, Queen Medusa should already be at the Dou Zong level, but Ye Chen's keen senses still detected a faint sense of emptiness from her, as if Queen Medusa was even weaker than before her evolution.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on your successful evolution and attainment of the Dou Zong realm!" Putting his doubts aside, Ye Chen immediately stepped forward with a smile and congratulated the Queen, who had already tidied her appearance.

Despite having been taken advantage of by this guy twice before, Queen Medusa was clearly still in a good mood.

After all, Ye Chen's help was indispensable in enabling us to get through this hurdle so smoothly.

& nbs

"I must thank Master Ye for his help. However, although this evolution has been successfully completed, I still need to undergo the baptism of my snake-people race to stabilize my current level. Therefore, I'm afraid I'll have to wait a while longer, Master Ye, before I can fulfill our agreement..."
