Battle Through the Heavens: His comprehension is extraordinary, shocking Yao Lao from the very begin

Chapter 298 Body Tempering with Strange Fire

With her battle aura wings gathering, Medusa let out a soft shout and charged headlong into the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame without hesitation.

Xiao Yan, who was standing with his hands behind his back, was quite surprised by Medusa's action.

Normally, Medusa is at her strongest when she uses the snake-people's secret technique to transform into the Purple Flame Serpent, and her evolution will be faster.

"It seems that the Azure Lotus Barrier-Breaking Pill has given Medusa a lot of confidence," Xiao Yan mused to himself.

Being engulfed by a strange flame is no joke, so there can only be one reason for Medusa's change of heart.

Upon entering the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, Medusa did not experience the pain she had imagined; instead, she felt as if she were taking a bath.

The strange experience completely dispelled Medusa's previous worries, who was surrounded by strange fire, and she looked at her body in confusion.

Could it be the effect of that elixir?

Looking down, Medusa was surprised to find a layer of flowing blue energy enveloping her body, though it was a familiar blend of snow white and crimson.

It is precisely because of this layer of energy that the power of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire is greatly reduced.

The Azure Lotus Barrier-Breaking Pill refined by Xiao Yan largely replicates the Earth Fire Lotus Seed, and it itself has a very strong resistance to the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

Of course, the effects of this elixir are not limited to this, but its fundamental purpose is to reduce the damage Medusa suffers, rather than directly helping her evolve.

The evolutionary methods passed down among the Snake-People are quite peculiar, and Xiao Yan cannot possibly figure them out in just a few days.

Without this Azure Lotus Breakthrough Pill, Medusa's evolution would result in two extreme outcomes.

If the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python's soul dominates the body, then the power it can unleash is not very high, only at the level of a fifth-tier magical beast.

However, if Medusa's soul were to dominate her body, the strength she could unleash would be at least at the level of a one-star Dou Zong.

Xiao Yan viewed this huge gap as an imperfect evolution, from which he also gained a lot of inspiration.

Due to the unique secret techniques of the Serpent People, Medusa also possesses the soul of the Purple Flame Serpent within her.

Her evolution relied on the special characteristics of that magical beast.

After she evolved, the soul of the Purple Flame Serpent also evolved, becoming the soul of the Seven-Colored Sky-Devouring Python.

Presumably, this kind of incomplete evolution makes it difficult for the body and soul to reach the same level simultaneously. In response to this, one of the effects of the pills that Xiao Yan refined was to strengthen Medusa's body.

Protected by the energy of the elixir, Medusa was unaffected by the temperature of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire. Her purple snake tail twisted and coiled around her waist.

With her hands rapidly forming hand seals, Medusa used the pressure of the strange fire to guide the energy of the elixir to flow rapidly through her meridians.

Only when it came to this did Medusa realize that the elixir's effects were not only to protect her from injury, but also to give her the strength to strengthen her body.

As Medusa entered a meditative state, she seemed to merge with the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. A dense azure light suddenly burst forth from the strange fire and slowly spread outwards.

With a hum, the surrounding天地能量 (heaven and earth energy) surged toward Medusa's location.

However, when this immense energy comes into contact with the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, its volume instantly shrinks by half.

After they successfully passed through the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, their physical condition was only about one-sixth of what it was before.

However, the reduction in the volume of energy absorbed did not cause Medusa any anxiety.

With careful observation, one can discover that this energy is significantly purer than before.

After being successfully refined by the strange blue light, strands of pale blue energy began to flow into Medusa's body with her breath.

As energy rapidly surged into her body, wisps of blue flame would occasionally seep into Medusa's body.

As the strange fire entered, Medusa's alluring face soon turned as red as a volcano.

Xiao Yan crossed his arms in front of him, quietly watching Medusa's different evolutionary paths; this was just the beginning.

The fact that I didn't feel any pain at first is part of the effect of the Blood Lotus Pill and the Earth Spirit Pill.

However, the effects of these medicines are limited. Once the effects wear off and Medusa has not yet adapted to the strange fire, that will be the beginning of her suffering.

An hour later, Medusa attracted more and more energy, and under the replication of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, the refining of all the energy was extremely easy.

However, as the increasingly intense energy rapidly flowed into her meridians, Medusa subconsciously frowned and gasped.

Clenching her teeth tightly, Medusa's delicate body trembled slightly, every pore on her body contracting sharply from the intense pain.

Seeing this change, Xiao Yan's dark eyes immediately became even more serious: the medicinal effects were about to reach their limit...

Medusa's gritted teeth and perseverance did nothing; the energy she absorbed continued to grow increasingly scorching.

In the end, wherever the energy passed, Medusa's meridians were damaged by the energy's temperature.

However, what comforted Medusa somewhat was that whenever her meridians were damaged, the energy that flowed through them again was like drops of emerald liquid, adhering to the meridians and slowly wriggling like living things.

Upon internal inspection, Medusa was surprised to find that these energies had merged into her meridians. Her originally unremarkable meridians were now not only more spacious, but also covered with a layer of emerald green, keratinous substance.

Once Medusa's meridians were covered with a layer of keratin, even though the protective layer of cyan energy disappeared, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame did not cause any harm to Medusa.

At that moment, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame was completely enraged, and its temperature suddenly rose several levels.

Medusa suddenly opened her beautiful eyes, her exquisite features contorted in agony.

Everything was fine just now, wasn't it? Could this be the price Xiao Yan said he had to pay?

Medusa had no time to think. In the terrifying flames, her purple snake scales began to twist rapidly, and finally she was charred black by the strange fire and fell to the ground.

After the snake scales fell off, bright red blood gushed out, and the evolution suddenly became dangerous.

However, the moment the blood appeared, it was burned into nothingness by the terrifying temperature of the strange fire, leaving behind extremely glaring bloody marks on the snake's tail.

Fortunately, it was still inside the strange fire, so it absorbed energy very quickly, and the energy it refined was extremely pure.

Medusa mobilized all her fighting spirit to heal her injuries and frantically absorbed the energy of heaven and earth.

She discovered that although the medicinal power of the pill had been exhausted, it had left her with a means to defend against the strange fire.
