Chapter 21: The Divine Fire Condensation Technique

The sudden change in the skies above Medusa's royal city left everyone gazing up in shock and confusion. Thunder boomed within the dark clouds, and silver lightning danced wildly, resembling silver serpents that added a terrifying spectacle to the scene.

"What is happening?" Gu He swallowed nervously, his voice dry. It wasn't clear if he was asking Yun Yun beside him or just talking to himself. As a Dan King, he had never witnessed such formidable energy.

Yun Yun watched the clouds intently, her voice slightly grave, "Is she about to succeed in her evolution?"

Her comment startled Gu He, turning him pale. If Queen Medusa evolved into a Dou Zong, they were all mere fodder in the face of such power. Even with the importance of the Heavenly Flame, it was futile if they didn't survive to claim it. If Medusa evolved, he would likely be the first to die.

"Should we retreat, Sect Master Yun?" Gu He asked, his brow furrowed in hesitation.

Yun Yun shook her head, "Let's wait. Even if she succeeds, she has been burning in the Heavenly Flame for so long, she must have exhausted a significant amount of energy. She will likely seek a quiet place to recover. We need to confirm whether she has truly evolved."

"Alright, let's wait and see then," Gu He agreed reluctantly, nodding. Given that the Dou Huang was not fleeing, he felt obliged to stay. After all, Yun Yun owed him a favor, and he trusted her to save him when necessary.

As a Dou Huang, Yun Yun noticed the barrier over the lake. With a gentle wave of her arm, she attempted to destroy the barrier. Just then, a massive roar erupted from the clouds above, followed by a dazzling flash of light. A gigantic silver thunderbolt shot down from the cloud, piercing through the unknown layer of purple light and into the heart of the Heavenly Flame.

The thunderbolt was as swift in departure as it was in arrival. The sound of thunder still echoed in their ears when the clouds began to rapidly disperse. Within moments, the brilliant sunlight once again bathed the land.

After the thunder strike, a faint blue mist appeared around the islet, obscuring their view and blocking their soul perception.

Yun Yun and Gu He watched intently, unable to probe inside, so they waited, letting fate unfold. They both readied themselves, wary of the notorious Medusa's potential emergence. Especially Gu He, whose heart pounded furiously if not for his crush beside him, he might have already fled.

Inside the blue mist, Wu Tian observed his surroundings with a heavy heart. Despite being prepared, it pained him to see that Medusa had not transformed into a Dou Zong but had become a tiny snake instead.

Wu Tian now inhabited a small, colorful snake's body, just about two centimeters long, with iridescent hues and a delicate, regal air. This was Medusa, successfully evolved into a Rainbow Devouring Python.

Wu Tian, thrilled by the system's announcement, hurriedly checked the details of the Divine Fire Condensation Technique. It was an extremely powerful physical cultivation technique that used divine fire to condense and refine the body. Any flame could be transformed into fire energy for bodily condensation, a prospect that delighted Wu Tian. Fire was abundant in the Dou Qi continent, and even though not all were Heavenly Flames, they would still enable rapid growth.

As he reveled in his new abilities, a massive explosion rocked the island. The scorched giant snake's body burst into dust. As the body disintegrated, a vast and terrifying aura burst forth, rapidly enveloping the city.

This sudden explosion of energy startled everyone outside, halting the battle. The humans despaired, while the Snake People cheered ecstatically.

Gu He turned pale and shouted to Yun Yun, "She has become a Dou Zong! We must flee!"

Yun Yun, unflustered, responded, "Calm down. Something's not right." She sensed that although the aura was immensely powerful, it lacked sustainability a true Dou Zong would not show such a weakness.

Indeed, what followed proved her intuition correct; her sixth sense as a celestial like figure and Sect Master of Yun Lan was incredibly sharp.
