Chapter 22: The Heavenly Flame Condenses the Body, I Am Still a Youth

In just about ten seconds, the explosive energy that burst forth quickly receded back into the barrier as if it were a tide. As the aura vanished once more, the expressions of humans and Snake People in the city changed rapidly again, all the Snake People looking stunned as the violent and fearsome aura disappeared. What did that mean? It indicated that their Queen Medusa had failed in her evolution! It couldn't be; they were anxiously hoping to feel that strong aura burst forth again.

However, what they awaited was nothingness because their Queen Medusa had now turned into a tiny snake, and the giant purple snake that had been her companion spirit turned into black dust.

Meanwhile, Wu Tian, Medusa's lifelong guardian spirit, was utilizing his newly acquired technique to absorb the Green Lotus Core Flame in front of him, transforming it into his own body. Ranked nineteenth in the Dou Qi continent, the power of the Green Lotus Core Flame was unquestionable, but against Wu Tian, who possessed the super god level Divine Fire Condensation Technique, it was merely fodder.

He didn't need any Blood Lotus Pills, Ice Spirit Cold Springs, or little spirits; those were utterly useless to him. If Queen Medusa had previously dived into the Heavenly Flame to refine her body and evolve, Wu Tian was now doing the opposite, absorbing the Heavenly Flame directly into his body.

Wu Tian suddenly stretched out his hand, and a fierce suction burst forth. Accompanying this suction, the green flames in the air surged dramatically, exuding even more terrifying power than before as if awakening and rapidly expanding from the green flames.

This sudden flare up of the flames once again changed the expressions of the onlookers, especially Yun Yun, who was closest. The energy of the Heavenly Flame had become violent again, but Queen Medusa's aura had vanished! Even Yun Yun dared not approach this rampant energy, not to mention old Gu He, who had thought about fleeing more than once. However, due to Yun Yun's presence and his fear of losing face, he had not yet fled.

On the other side, Wu Tian, observing the furious Heavenly Flame in front of him, smirked slightly. The green flames grew against the wind, feeling the immense suction from Wu Tian and resisting violently. The surrounding space showed noticeable distortions due to the heat of the flames.

However, as Wu Tian extended his other hand and unleashed another burst of fierce suction, the green flames could no longer hold on. The power of the Divine Fire Condensation Technique was not just for show.

At this moment, Wu Tian's body acted like a terrifying black hole, endlessly devouring the dreadful energy and heat of the green flames. Even the ferocious Green Lotus Core Flame was drawn close by his terrifying suction.

Soon, the Green Lotus Core Flame had shrunk to the size of a small seed. The Green Lotus Core Flame continued to churn, and the ambient energies in the space began to surge, forming a colorful river around the flame, dazzlingly beautiful. These colorful energies swirled around the Green Lotus Core Flame, dissipating instantly as they approached the burning flames, much like a donut being bitten into.

At this point, the Green Lotus Core Flame resembled a lava thread, only the size of a thumb, tiny indeed.

Wu Tian brought his hands together, quickly absorbing the true Green Lotus Core Flame into his ethereal body. The Divine Fire Condensation Technique, as the name suggests, uses fire to condense the body, and the Green Lotus Core Flame, being one of the few powerful Heavenly Flames of the Dou Qi continent, naturally allowed Wu Tian to condense a body.

In just a moment, the small Green Lotus Core Flame seed, like a plant seed, recondensed within Wu Tian's soul body.

In the next instant, Wu Tian's soul body rapidly shrank, becoming smaller and smaller. He could clearly see certain parts within his field of vision rapidly diminishing, an uncomfortable feeling indeed.

Eventually, his body became as small as the Green Lotus Core Flame, then the two merged swiftly, beginning their fusion. This wasn't high technology but the most primitive of rules; after the fusion was complete, the blue green, liquid like fire seed started to grow slowly once again.

This growth was much slower than the shrinking, and Wu Tian could only feel himself gradually getting larger. Medusa's alluring garments had long disappeared.

Wu Tian now had a magical feeling, as if watching his own rebirth. However, he harbored a terrifying thought what if the body he had birthed was that of an infant? Luckily, he was overthinking it. Although the growth was slow, it only took a few seconds. In the blink of an eye, Wu Tian felt his body successfully condense.

Yet, he was speechless; his body was not that of an infant, but neither was it that of an adult. He now had the body of a dashing youth, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with fair skin and long, straight black hair. This relieved Wu Tian, at least he didn't inherit the green hair of the Green Lotus Core Flame, which would have been bothersome.

Although he couldn't see his current appearance, he felt it couldn't be too bad, considering he wasn't ugly to begin with, plus the system and the Green Lotus Core Flame had helped to form it. If he turned out ugly, he'd definitely demand a refund from the system.

As Wu Tian's form materialized, the Rainbow Devouring Python, which had been playfully circling around, joyously wagged its little tail and made two loops around him. Its crystal clear eyes greedily fixed on Wu Tian's body, appearing as if it had seen delicious food. It quickly darted into Wu Tian's palm, raising its head and emitting a soft hiss, a sound very gentle, like it was cooing and flirting.

Wu Tian gazed at the Rainbow Devouring Python in his hand with an indulgent smile, fully aware of what those eyes meant. Who could blame it? His body, formed from the Heavenly Flame, naturally emitted fire energy, which the python needed. Moreover, their bond was not to be underestimated; if not for their deep connection, the Rainbow Devouring Python would have long since fled rather than gazing affectionately at Wu Tian.

Wu Tian touched the Rainbow Devouring Python indulgently and said, "Little Color Scale, I'll feed you later. Hide now, someone is coming."
