Battle Through the Heavens: My Grandfather is a Six-Star Dou Sheng

Chapter 8 Medusa's Evolution

Medusa took Jiang Xing to a small island surrounded by a lake.

This is a circular open area with a small pool in the very center.

The small pool was filled with crystal-clear water, its surface shrouded in white mist, revealing its extremely cold temperature at a glance. Furthermore, in the center of the pool stood a lotus platform carved from crystal.

The water in this pool is the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, a rare and precious natural material with a cold attribute. It is liquid and is one of the essential items for absorbing strange fire.

In the original novel, Xiao Yan was able to barely absorb the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame at the Dou Shi realm by relying on the Ice Spirit Cold Spring and the Blood Lotus Pill.

However, Medusa did not intend to absorb the strange fire; rather, the crystal lotus platform in the center of the pool needed the power of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring to trap the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire within it.

Medusa formed a hand seal, and soon a burst of purple light emanated from her body, enveloping the small island.

This puzzled Jiang Xing. With him protecting her, why did Medusa need to add another protective shield? Did she really not trust his strength?

Medusa seemed to have guessed what Jiang Xing meant and began to explain.

"That's safer."

"What should I do if I need to go out?"

"It's alright, you're free to come and go as you please."

Hearing this, Jiang Xing said nothing more.

"Let's begin. First, put the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame into that crystal lotus platform."

Medusa took a deep breath and then spoke.

"it is good."

Jiang Xing took the strange fire out of the container and placed it into the lotus platform.

Once the strange fire is placed inside, the lotus platform automatically forms a light screen to surround it.

This cyan flame is extremely spiritual. As it churns slightly, it sometimes condenses into the shape of a lotus flower, and sometimes into a small cyan flame snake. But every time it tries to leave the light barrier, it is blocked by it.

After doing all this, Jiang Xing stepped back, giving Medusa plenty of space.

At this moment, Medusa suddenly spoke.

"You...you turn around first."

"Um?"

Jiang Xing was initially confused. "Just start already, why do you want me to turn around?"

But seeing Medusa's blushing face, he immediately remembered that in the original story, Medusa had to take off her clothes during her evolution! And Xiao Yan, who was hiding in the shadows, saw it all...

Holy crap, this won't do!

It's fine for me to look at my own wife, but it's absolutely forbidden for others to see her!

Thinking of this, Jiang Xing immediately shouted, "Ji Feng, you go outside and guard this island! Don't let anyone near it! You can't either!"

"Yes, young master."

Jiang Xing breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that Ji Feng had really left.

Then, Jiang Xing stood there quietly, smiling at Medusa, seemingly unaware that Medusa had just told him to turn around.

Medusa: ?

Jiang Xing thought to himself: This is my own wife, let me see if there's anything wrong with her?

Seeing Jiang Xing's state, Medusa knew that even if he turned around, he might secretly turn back, so she ignored him.

Medusa's beautiful eyes were fixed on the azure flames on the lotus platform. She stared at the flames silently for a long time, then suddenly let out a soft breath, looked up at the sky, glanced at Jiang Xing again, and the hesitation in her eyes turned into determination.

Queen Medusa gently bit her red lips with her pearly teeth, and slowly unbuttoned her brocade robe with her jade hands. Instantly, a perfect jade body, as if it were a masterpiece of heaven, was exposed in the bamboo forest.

Jiang Xing, who was behind him, felt his heart pounding as he witnessed this scene.

As expected of my wife, she looks good not only in clothes, but also... cough cough.

Suddenly, Medusa's body was enveloped in a dense light. A moment later, a roar that sounded like a lion's roar and a tiger's howl came from Medusa's direction.

Hearing the roar, knowing that Medusa had transformed into her true form, Jiang Xing was still somewhat unsatisfied.

At this moment, above the island, a giant purple serpent, over ten zhang long, hovered. The serpent's body was slender and powerful, possessing a subtle elegance, but no one could ignore the terrifying aura emanating from it because of its appearance.

After circling in the sky a few times, the giant purple snake suddenly let out a clear, low growl, and then charged headlong into the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame without hesitation.

The moment the purple serpent approached the strange fire, Queen Medusa's piercing scream echoed across the island.

Anyone else would have felt a chill run down their spine upon hearing that sound, but Jiang Xing felt a pang of sympathy.

But he had no choice; this was the only way for Medusa to evolve into the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python.

He definitely couldn't stop Medusa's evolution. If he didn't use this method and instead gave Medusa a Transformation Pill to break through, even if she broke through to the Dou Zong realm, she wouldn't possess the Seven-Colored Devouring Python bloodline.

So no matter how much Jiang Xing felt sorry for his wife, he could only watch helplessly.

……

On the other side, in front of the temple walls.

Guhe Yunyun and Yan Shi, along with eight others, had already arrived at the temple walls of the Snake-People tribe.

However, unlike the original work, the original work features one Dou Huang, three Dou Wang, and four Dou Ling.

Now, outside the city walls, besides Yun Yun, there is another Dou Huang with a clearly stronger aura than Yun Yun.

This Douhuang is the guardian of the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire, known as "Old Man Jia in Hemp Robe," and is Jia Xingtian, one of the ten strongest warriors of the Jia Ma Empire.

Having reached the peak of the Douhuang realm, Jia Xingtian is arguably the strongest person in the Jia Ma Empire on the surface. He once fought against Queen Medusa and escaped unscathed.

Above the city wall, five figures slowly rose into the air. The Great Elder of the Serpent Clan spoke in a chilling voice: "Jia Xingtian, you have trespassed into our territory without permission. Do you intend to provoke a war between the Jia Ma Empire and the Serpent Clan?"

The Great Elder of the Snake-People Clan was also a peak Douhuang expert, but because his lifespan was coming to an end, he was no longer suitable for fighting, so he had been living in seclusion.

But to her surprise, Jia Xingtian and his group appeared in the temple on the day the Queen broke through.

Unfortunately, the Queen is currently at a crucial moment in her breakthrough.

The other three elders have reached the point where they can no longer fight. If she doesn't come out, no one in the snake-people clan can stop Jia Xingtian.

"Hehe, Elder, my name is Guhe. I have come to your noble family with a matter I wish to discuss with Queen Medusa. I wonder if Your Majesty could appear before me?" Guhe said politely with a smile.

"Hmph! What do you humans have to talk about with our Queen? You've trespassed on our snake-people's territory. Leave immediately, or once the leaders of our eight tribes arrive, you won't be able to leave so easily."

Flower Snake was Queen Medusa's personal bodyguard, so she naturally knew that the Queen was currently undergoing a breakthrough, and hoped to use this to threaten the humans below to leave quickly.

Gu He's expression turned somewhat grim upon hearing this, because before he came, he thought that Queen Medusa of the Snake-People Clan only had one peak Dou Huang expert, so he brought Jia Xingtian along as a reward for helping the Deep Sea Flood Dragon refine healing pills.

With Yun Yun on their side, they would have one more Battle Emperor than the Snake-People.

Even if the leaders of the eight major tribes came, they would not be afraid at all.

To his surprise, the snake-man clan's elder was not dead.

If Queen Medusa appears and joins forces with the Serpent Clan Elder to hold them off until the leaders of the eight tribes arrive, it's uncertain how many will survive.

Thinking of this, Gu He sighed, turned his head to look at his companions, and shook his head helplessly.

"Old He. He's just gone like that?" Yan Shi glanced at the Snake-Man Clan Elder in the distance and frowned.

"What else can we do but leave? You all know how powerful Queen Medusa is. Now that a Snake-Man Elder has appeared, if we try to seize her by force, who can stop the Snake-Man Elder?" Gu He sighed.

Gu He was definitely unwilling. He had waited and searched for so many years for the strange fire to finally appear, only to have it taken away by Queen Medusa first.

There was nothing we could do; the opponent was simply too powerful, and we were on their turf.

If we don't leave now, we'll probably all perish here.

Just as Guhe and the others were about to compromise and leave, a voice came from somewhere.

"Don't be fooled by them. Medusa is currently using the strange fire to evolve and break through to the Dou Zong realm."
