Battle Through the Heavens: Attribute Draw, Top-Tier Comprehension at the Start

On the desert surface, the sun blazes down, and yellow sand fills the sky.

Medusa's gaze fell on the sand dunes below, her red lips slightly upturned.

"This is it."

Instead of rushing into the cave entrance, she hovered in mid-air and first used her senses to investigate the situation below.

The next moment, Medusa's pupils suddenly contracted.

Someone came up from below, and...

That person carried the aura of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

The strange fire that carried her hopes for evolution was snatched away by someone else?!

"Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling..."

Just as Qin Yu emerged from the lava pool aboard the Azure Lotus Platform below the cave, a loud bang came from above.

"boom!"

The cave's dome was violently ripped open from the outside, and huge rocks covered in yellow sand fell from the sky, crashing into the lava pool and creating waves of fire several meters high.

"What the hell? It popped up and was instantly killed?"

Qin Yu instantly erected the lotus platform barrier, blocking the splashing lava outside.

At the same time, his mind sank directly into his body, activating the newly rooted Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame Seed.

I'm already putting to use the "inviting fire to my body" technique that I just learned.

Qin Yu looked up and saw the midday sun shining through the hole in the desert.

A purple figure hovered in mid-air, its alluring face filled with rage, its narrow, vertical pupils looking down at him as if he were a dead man.

Queen Medusa.

Qin Yu's pupils contracted slightly, and he silently began to stir up the magma deep within the earth's core. Given the situation today, there was no way to resolve it peacefully.

As expected, Medusa's delicate face suddenly darkened after sensing the aura of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame within him.

The strange fire that carried her hopes of breaking through to the Dou Zong realm was snatched away by a Seven-Star Great Dou Master.

"Human, you have quite the nerve! You dare touch my strange fire?"

Medusa's voice came from above, clear and majestic.

"Your strange fire? Why don't you call it, Your Majesty, and see if it responds?"

As Qin Yu answered, he manipulated the power of magma and the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire to create layers of protection around them.

Even setting everything else aside, based solely on the way the child, Chong Qinglian, fused with him, behaved, Qin Yu would never have given him up so easily.

Even if his body was burned to the point of being riddled with holes during the fusion process, it was because he wasn't prepared. The child, Qinglian Earth Core Flame, had already done his best.

"Humans".

Seeing Qin Yu's posture, Medusa understood his meaning. Her red lips parted slightly, and her tone became very calm:

"In your next life, don't casually take what doesn't belong to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying aura descended from the sky.

The entire cave wall trembled, and small stones fell down in a rustling sound, pressing a deep indentation into the surface of the lava pool.

However, this oppressive force, powerful enough to suppress even a Dou Wang level expert, was blocked by the lotus platform barrier surrounding Qin Yu, and did not cause him any harm.

Medusa raised an eyebrow slightly.

Her oppressive aura was actually blocked by a Seven-Star Grand Dou Master?

However, the surprise in her eyes was fleeting, quickly replaced by coldness.

So what if you can withstand her oppressive aura? The barrier of strange fire has its limits; it's enough to break it.

Medusa raised her hand, and a violent stream of battle energy surged from her palm, heading straight for Qin Yu.

She didn't hold back in this attack; any other Dou Wang standing here would have been killed in one blow.

Since this human is unwilling to obediently hand over the strange fire, there is only one way left.

"It was really fast!"

As expected of Queen Medusa, a peak Douhuang, Qin Yu only reacted when the attack was almost upon him.

The next second, the entire lava pool seemed to be stirred up by an invisible giant hand and exploded with a roar.

A thick pillar of fire shot into the sky from the magma, colliding squarely with the streak of fighting spirit.

"boom!"

The pillar of fire and the stream of battle qi collided in mid-air, but Medusa's attack was clearly superior, directly piercing through the pillar of fire and slamming into the protective barrier that Qin Yu had constructed using strange fire and magma.

Perhaps weakened by the pillar of fire, Medusa's attack was steadily blocked by the barrier.

"Um?"

Medusa was also stunned for a moment. What kind of method was this?

"interesting."

She glanced down at the churning lava pool below and immediately understood the truth of the matter.

But this truth was hard for her to believe.

A Seven-Star Grandmaster can actually manipulate the magma deep underground?

"Did it draw upon the power of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame?"

Medusa's eyes narrowed as she noticed the blue lotus mark between Qin Yu's eyebrows.

Even with the power of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, it was only able to block his own attack...

Fine, at worst it'll just take some effort. She refused to believe that she couldn't even defeat a mere seven-star Grand Dou Master.

"Since you insist on resisting to the bitter end..."

Medusa stopped wasting words, her battle aura wings suddenly flapped, and she transformed into a purple afterimage, rushing straight towards Qin Yu.

With her peak Dou Huang speed, Qin Yu didn't even have time to react when she unleashed her attack.

only...

Even her personal intervention was blocked by the barrier erected by Qin Yu.

With a muffled thud, the Azure Lotus Platform was blasted back several dozen feet, but Qin Yu was still unharmed.

The protective barrier on the surface of the lotus platform was visibly shattered in dozens of layers, but it was restored to its original state in the blink of an eye.

Furthermore, the thickness of the barrier is increasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Medusa shook off the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame that had stained her hands, her face growing increasingly gloomy.

So, this human has been building up a barrier ever since we met?

"How naive!"

Just as Medusa was about to continue her attack, she saw Qin Yu suddenly raise his right hand.

"rise!"

The lava pool exploded again, and rings of lotus-blue fire pillars erupted from Qin Yu's center, burning towards Medusa.

Medusa stopped in her tracks. These rings of fire pillars were all formed by the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire mixed with underground magma.

She could indeed withstand it with her own cultivation, but if it weren't for the need for evolution, who would be willing to endure the pain of being burned by this strange fire?

So she snorted coldly, concentrated her battle qi at her fingertips, and then pointed out a thin stream of purple battle qi that instantly pierced through the layers of flames.

However, when this fighting spirit pierced through the flames and revealed the interior of the flames, Medusa immediately lost her composure.

In the lava pool, the Azure Lotus Platform had vanished, along with Qin Yu's figure.

"...Oh."

After a long silence, Medusa finally let out a self-deprecating chuckle.

"You truly are the first human to dare to toy with Queen Medusa like this!"

At this moment, she wanted to curse. How could she, the queen of the snake-people, have been tricked by a human with such low cultivation?!

"I'd like to see where you can run to?!"

After letting out a furious shout, Medusa plunged headfirst into the lava.

Even if it means being burned by the strange fire, she will drag this human out and tear him to pieces!
