Battle Through the Heavens: The Young Master of the Heavenly Serpent, intercepts Yao Lao at the star

"Green Barbarian, you and Azure Scales shall wait here."

After finishing, Bai Chuxiao planned to leave Qinglin on the ground to prevent her from going down there to suffer the scorching heat again.

"Young Master, the area beneath that magma is extremely dangerous..." Green Barbarian hurriedly stepped forward, her face showing worry.

"It's alright, with Lao Hei and Medusa with me, nothing will go wrong." Bai Chuxiao waved his hand, then jumped into the tunnel without hesitation.

……

At the bottom of the magma lies a vast underground world far beyond imagination.

The temperature here has long surpassed the range of ordinary fire. Even a Dou Wang powerhouse who falls into it probably wouldn't last long. The terrifyingly high temperature distorts the air, and even space itself seems to tremble slightly under this extreme heat.

Queen Medusa was surrounded by a light purple aura barrier. The powerful aura of a peak Dou Huang was as deep as the ocean, completely blocking the heat that was enough to incinerate everything.

Bai Chuxiao stood casually behind her, his small hands restlessly encircling her slender and fair waist.

Feeling the warm touch of the slightly restless hand on her waist, Medusa's beautiful face stiffened slightly, and her body trembled gently.

She had never been touched so intimately by any man in a long time, but she dared not react, and could only pretend to be serious as she said, "It's just ahead."

Bai Chuxiao chuckled softly, applying slight pressure with his fingertips, feeling the amazing smooth and soft touch of his palm. He secretly sighed that she truly deserved to be called Queen Medusa; her figure and physique were simply perfect.

He looked up and saw a bright blue light shining in the void ahead!

A lustrous blue lotus flower floats quietly in the deepest part of the magma world.

The lotus petals are as translucent as glass, shimmering with a faint blue light. They appear gentle and pure, yet they exude a terrifying power that can even burn and tear apart space itself.

When the surging magma around it approached within three zhang (approximately 10 meters), it retreated as if it had encountered a natural enemy, creating a vacuum of pure land in this purgatory.

"What a domineering strange fire." A scorching light flashed in Bai Chuxiao's eyes. This was the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, the nineteenth strange fire in the world!

He slowly extended his palm, and a wisp of pure battle qi quietly emerged, attempting to gently guide the blue lotus.

However, just as the battle aura touched the azure light!

"Buzz—!"

The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame suddenly erupted with an extremely dazzling azure light, and a violent and incomparable fire attribute energy, as if it were about to burn away all the heavens, exploded out!

"boom!!!"

The bottom of the magma trembled violently, and terrifying waves of fire swept in all directions. Even the purple battle aura barrier that Medusa had managed to erect with all her might was shaking violently at this moment, rippling out in waves visible to the naked eye.

"This fire possesses a spirit and is extremely unruly. Ordinary methods are simply insufficient to tame it. It must be suppressed by absolute power!" Queen Medusa's expression was solemn. She activated her purple battle qi at full power, and with a light wave of her jade hand, streaks of serpentine battle qi roared out to resist the terrifying power of the fire.

Bai Chuxiao's expression also tightened slightly.

His Serpent Spirit Seal is effective against all snakes in the world, but it is completely ineffective against the strange fire born from heaven and earth.

So he didn't dare to be arrogant and turned to the two Dou Huang warriors beside him: "Do you two have a way to subdue this fire?"

Queen Medusa's heart stirred slightly. With her peak Douhuang strength, subduing this fire was not impossible, but it would inevitably come at a considerable cost, not to mention that she had not yet fully recovered to her peak condition.

But then he thought that he had just joined the army and had not yet made any contributions. If he could contribute to this matter, Bai Chuxiao would naturally take better care of the snake people in the future.

Just as she was about to speak, an aged and somewhat abrupt voice suddenly resounded deep within Bai Chuxiao's mind:

"Listen, little one. The three of you will join forces and apply pressure from three directions to compress the raging flames of the strange fire back into the azure lotus platform. Then, use a sharp weapon to sever the spiritual root beneath the lotus platform, and you can take it away intact!"

"Who?!"

Bai Chuxiao's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained calm, even deliberately revealing a hint of surprise, as if he was genuinely startled by the sudden sound.

He knew perfectly well that the drug dust in the ring was the culprit, but he pretended not to know and put on a good show.

His sudden, low shout immediately made Old Black and Medusa beside him tense up, their fighting spirits instantly tightening as they warily scanned the surrounding void: "Young Master, is there an ambush?"

Bai Chuxiao waved his hand, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and said calmly, "It's alright, perhaps it's just a hallucination caused by the pressure of the strange fire. Do as I say, the three of us will join forces to compress its fire power into the lotus platform!"

Without saying another word, he directly followed the method taught by Yao Chen and dashed out.

Although Old Black and Medusa had their doubts, they dared not disobey their young master's orders, and their fighting spirit immediately surged.

One black, one purple, and one gold – three incredibly powerful beams of battle aura crashed down on the blue lotus from three different directions.

Two Dou Huangs and one Dou Wang with unfathomable strength—the combined power of the three was terrifying!

The vacuum zone was continuously compressed, and the raging fire power of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame emitted bursts of unwilling screams under the absolute suppression of this power, but in the end it was powerless to reverse the situation and was forced back into the lotus platform little by little.

……

Meanwhile, inside that ancient storage ring.

Yao Chen's soul floated in the darkness, observing the outside world. A complex expression appeared on his aged face as he inwardly regretted, "Alas, with my centuries of caution, how could I have been so impulsive?..."

But then, as he looked at Bai Chuxiao's composed and all-encompassing figure, a burning hope flashed in his eyes.

"However... this young master of the Heavenly Serpent Manor is truly a piece of jade, a hundred times stronger than Xiao Yan! His soul power is terrifyingly abundant, far surpassing Xiao Yan's by several times, his cultivation talent is monstrous, and his temperament is decisive yet principled..."

The medicine dust had already been reviving.

He woke up when Bai Chuxiao forcibly took the ring from Xiao Yan in Wutan City through an absurd gambling match.

At first, he thought it was the Soul Palace's henchmen who had come looking for him, and he was terrified.

However, Bai Chuxiao's subsequent actions completely refuted this conjecture.

The people of the Soul Palace only know how to brutally plunder souls, how could they engage in any kind of gambling? They would not be so gentle and protective towards someone like Qing Lin, nor would they use ruthless methods to subdue Queen Medusa and the Snake People!

Throughout his observations, Bai Chuxiao's gentleness towards Qinglin, his decisiveness and skill in subduing Medusa, and his unfathomable talent for cultivation all revealed to Yao Chen the prototype of a future top expert.

His soul power, in particular, which far surpassed that of ordinary people, captivated him.

"Well, while Xiao Yan is resilient, he's far inferior to the young master of the Heavenly Serpent Palace. If we can nurture him, then this Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame is indeed not to be missed!"

Yao Chen had already made up his mind, completely giving up on Xiao Yan and choosing Bai Chuxiao, who had more potential.

The only thing that puzzled him was how Bai Chuxiao had managed to snatch the ring from Xiao Yan's hand so precisely. Did he already know about his existence?

For this reason, Yao Chen decided to lie low for a while longer to see what Bai Chuxiao's true intentions were...
