Chapter 113: Snatching Food from the Serpent's Mouth



"Soul Impact!!!"

This was Xiao Yan's ultimate trump card!

Magical beasts might have strong physical bodies, but their souls were weak!

The Spiritual Strength of a Rank 6 magical beast was far inferior to a 6th-tier alchemist, while Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength had already reached the level of a 5th-tier alchemist!

A strange wave of Spiritual Strength surged toward Medusa's soul. Xiao Yan had put his all into this spiritual attack. The collision of the Soul Impact was so intense that it made Xiao Yan himself feel dizzy, feeling as though the collision had shattered his own soul.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!!! Medusa let out furious roars. How could she have possibly imagined that this freak Xiao Yan not only possessed a Heavenly Flame but also knew a long-lost Soul Skill!

Even though Soul Impact was just the most basic Soul Skill, a mere High Huang Class considered rudimentary and trashy in the Hall of Souls, it had one advantage: its impact strength depended solely on the strength of the user's soul, not the proficiency in the skill.

Right now, Medusa felt as if Xiao Yan had knocked her soul out of her body and she was losing control over it!

Medusa gritted her teeth and circulated her Dou Qi, jolting herself awake. Her soul returned to her body in an instant. However, Xiao Yan's Soul Impact caused the suppressed Essence Flame of the Green Lotus Core Flame to erupt once more.

Xiao Yan had been waiting for this moment. For Medusa to evolve, she had to use the Heavenly Flame to refine her bloodline, to burn her body, flesh, bones, and even her soul had to undergo the Heavenly Flame's refinement before the evolution could be completed.

Hiss!! The purple giant serpent suddenly lashed out with its tail. A heavy thud rang out as Xiao Yan hurriedly used the Heavy Xuan Ruler to block. A terrifying force was transmitted from the ruler.

Xiao Yan was sent flying like a tennis ball, smashed into the ground by the tail.

Medusa had already had many of her bones and flesh burned away by the Green Lotus Core Flame, and she still needed to suppress it within her body. However, she was still a peak Dou Emperor. Even heavily injured, her furious strike was not something Xiao Yan could withstand.

With a clatter, Xiao Yan pushed away the rubble, blood streaming down his forehead.

'If it weren't for the Green Lotus Core Flame burning her, that strike probably would have killed me directly.' Xiao Yan grinned through gritted teeth.

A hint of surprise flashed in Medusa's serpent eyes upon seeing that Xiao Yan had survived her strike. Even though she was heavily injured, that previous strike should have been enough to kill any Dou Grandmaster!

"Soul Impact!!!"

With a furious roar, Xiao Yan unleashed another surge of Spiritual Strength, and the two souls collided violently once again.

Pu!! He spat out a mouthful of blood. Two consecutive Soul Impact attacks-not to mention Medusa-even Xiao Yan himself couldn't withstand it!

He felt his soul on the verge of dissipating.

'She can still suppress it! This Queen Medusa is too damn strong!' Upon closer look, Medusa was letting out cries of agony, but the Green Lotus Core Flame within her body was still suppressed and hadn't erupted. It hadn't completely burned her to ashes.

Medusa herself had a cold Yin attribute. Xiao Yan's only method to snatch away the Green Lotus Core Flame was to make Medusa burn herself with it.

The purple serpent that was Medusa struggled to open her serpent eyes. Just as Xiao Yan had said, she was currently filled with immense regret. She had indeed sensed someone infiltrating the palace.

However, since Xiao Yan only had the strength of a Dou Grandmaster, she had let her guard down. Moreover, the disturbance caused by Gu He and the decision to devour the Green Lotus Core Flame had left her no time to deal with him.

She never imagined that this little Dou Grandmaster would bring so much trouble!

Queen Medusa narrowed her eyes as if she had made up her mind about something. Boom!! Thunder suddenly rumbled in the sky as the world's energy began to surge violently. Outside, Gu He hurriedly raised his head and looked toward the sky. His expression changed slightly as he saw dark clouds gathering and gradually covering the pitch-black night sky. "Is this a natural phenomenon?!!!"

Gu He naturally knew what this meant as an alchemist.

A 6th-tier medicinal pill could cause a natural phenomenon.

And a high-grade 7th-tier medicinal pill could even attract Pill Lightning!

There was no doubt that Medusa planned to risk everything to completely evolve her bloodline!Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Rumble! Thunderous rumbles resounded from within the dark clouds, and silver lightning frantically darted about like silver snakes.

Xiao Yan looked up, his eyes narrowing as he said in a deep voice, "Trying to attract the Lightning Tribulation to complete your evolution and kill me in the process?"

He swallowed a 4th-tier medicinal pill and the injuries on his body visibly healed. The merged Heavenly Flame surged out of his body like there was no tomorrow, forming a protective barrier around him.

Xiao Yan knew this was the decisive moment! If Medusa succeeded in attracting the Lightning Tribulation and he got struck, he would die in vain. But if his Soul Impact disrupted Medusa's evolution, she would be burned to death by the Green Lotus Core Flame, and he would gain a Heavenly Flame!

One way or another, the outcome would be decided now!

A deafening rumble echoed through the air, and for a moment, the sky lit up with a bright light. A massive silver lightning bolt shot down from the clouds and struck the Green Lotus

Core Flame.

Boom!!! The lightning exploded. Countless electric arcs drilled into the purple giant serpent's body. The body that had already been burned down to twenty or thirty feet rapidly turned charred black and even began to disintegrate into flying ashes.

Although Medusa was the primary target of the Lightning Tribulation, Xiao Yan was also affected. A portion of the lightning blasted toward him.

"Nihility Devouring Flame! Devour the Lightning Tribulation!"

Whoosh!! The merged Heavenly Flame surged out, forming a black hole-like vortex that

frantically devoured the Lightning Tribulation to shield him.

This was the opportunity Xiao Yan had been waiting for. He fiercely bit the tip of his tongue. The taste of blood and piercing pain jolted his mind.

"Soul! Impact!!"

Pu! This strike caused blood to stream from his eyes. His entire brain spun wildly.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!! A serpent's mournful cry reached his ears.

Bang!!!! Almost at the same time, the Green Lotus Core Flame erupted. The terrifying green flames and the summoned lightning collided, producing an extremely violent explosion.

The destructive power of this collision was unimaginable. The massive impact produced by the clash between the Lightning Tribulation and the Heavenly Flame instantly pulverized the entire chamber. All the furniture and decor inside were turned to flying ash. "What a terrifying energy!" The shockwave from this terrifying energy formed a fiery barrier that enveloped the entire chamber, making even Gu He, a Dou King, not dare to approach. However, Gu He was unaware that within this fiery barrier, a figure was rushing toward the Essence Flame of the Green Lotus Core Flame.

Xiao Yan took out a bottle of 4th-tier medicinal pills and poured them into his mouth like they were free. These were all prepared by him in advance, including pills to restore Dou Qi, replenish Spiritual Strength, and heal injuries.

'Too terrifying. If Medusa hadn't devoured the Green Lotus Core Flame and suppressed most of its power, it would have burned me to death directly.' Xiao Yan's body was severely burned, with not a single inch of skin unscathed. His head was throbbing so much that he could barely

walk straight.

If it weren't for the Ten Thousand Beast Flame tempering his body, he estimated he would have turned to flying ash like Medusa.

Xiao Yan slapped his head. He wanted to use his spiritual perception to probe for the location

of the Green Lotus Core Flame, but he found that he had used Soul Impact too many times and

his soul was on the verge of dissipating.

"Mao Wu! Help me find the Essence Flame!"

The empty space distorted and Mao Wu leaped out, landing on Xiao Yan's shoulder.

"Hmm? Wait, what are you holding in your mouth?!"
