Chapter 537 Evolution Begins

After glancing at the small pond, Jing Chen's gaze shifted to the left. When a face of almost mythical beauty came into view, Jing Chen's already weak aura unconsciously subsided even further. Facing this Dou Huang-level super powerhouse, even the former Jing Chen would probably have had to suppress his aura to the minimum.

Queen Medusa at this moment was no different from the energy entity that had appeared outside the city earlier. A luxurious and expensive purple brocade robe enveloped her graceful figure, her voluptuous and alluring body exuding a seductive charm. Her long, narrow, pale purple eyes were naturally captivating, drawing the gaze of almost every man.

Beneath the purple brocade robe, a section of purple snake tail was visible, lazily swaying and exuding wildness and exotic charm.

Queen Medusa was now staring intently at the blue flames in the small pool. In the reflection of the light, the arc of the flames flickered in her pale purple eyes.

After staring silently at the blue flames for a long time, Queen Medusa suddenly sighed softly, looked up at the sky, and then swayed her serpentine tail as her fiery body slowly rose to her feet.

"It's time," she murmured softly, a rare hint of hesitation flashing across Queen Medusa's alluring face. A moment later, that hesitation transformed into resolve. Beneath her purple brocade robe, two snow-white wrists were revealed, her hands slowly forming several hand seals in front of her.

As Queen Medusa's hand seals changed, the crystal lotus throne suddenly trembled violently, and the light barrier on it gradually disappeared. After the light barrier disappeared, the unrestrained azure flames burst forth. In the blink of an eye, the flames transformed into a raging inferno.

Beneath this blazing blue flame, the icy spring water in the small pool was evaporating at a visible rate.

Ignoring the rapidly scorching bamboo around her, Queen Medusa gently bit her red lips and slowly unbuttoned her brocade robe with her jade-like hands. Instantly, her perfect jade body, as if it were a masterpiece of heaven, was exposed naked in the bamboo forest.

In the small bamboo grove, this beautiful body, coveted by countless men, was exposed naked, satisfying someone's eye.

Hidden in the bushes, Jing Chen stared dumbfounded at the naked, alluring body that drove men wild. Suddenly, Xiao Wu's coquettish voice echoed in his mind again: "Brother! What are you looking at again! I didn't say anything before, but now you're staring so intently!"

Jing Chen snapped out of his daze, embarrassed and unsure what to do. He could only look up again at the strange fire burning in mid-air: "This woman is terrifying!"

"Queen Medusa possesses an innate allure, a power that acts as a potent aphrodisiac for men. Of course, with her current strength, she can now control that allure at will. However, when she is naked, that allure will naturally be released as well. Hmm... Be careful, little one, lust is a double-edged sword," the old apothecary said earnestly.

"Uh..." Hearing Yao Lao's sudden words, Jing Chen could only chuckle awkwardly and nod sheepishly. He wasn't entirely clueless; he'd experienced it countless times.

"Master Yao, when do we make our move?" The intense heat around him made Jing Chen wipe away a bead of sweat as he asked in his mind.

"Let's wait a bit longer. Right now, her attention is entirely focused on the strange fire, but if she discovers your whereabouts, she'll definitely deal with you, you little shrimp, first. Although I can escape with you, the strange fire..."

"Then let's wait a little longer." Hearing this, Jing Chen grinned, then fell silent again, staring intently at the original empty area.

Queen Medusa slowly stepped forward, letting her purple brocade robe slip to the ground. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the blue flame in mid-air, and she murmured softly, biting her thick lips, "If one wants to cultivate in a conventional way, I don't know when one will be able to even touch the threshold of Dou Zong. Therefore, if one wants to advance to Dou Zong quickly, this is the only path to take."

With her slender, jade-like hand resting on her fragrant shoulder, Queen Medusa bowed slightly towards the fire in mid-air. Then, she slowly raised her head to look at the city wall, where energy was violently fluctuating. A cold glint flashed in her beautiful eyes. She brushed a strand of hair from her forehead and said calmly, "If the evolution is successful, all the humans here today will be forever trapped in the desert!"

After uttering these slightly chilling words, Queen Medusa casually pulled off the purple ribbon binding her dark hair, and instantly, her smooth, black hair cascaded down to her slender waist.

She gently tossed her head, her hair moving with it; the casual movement added to Queen Medusa's alluring charm.

With her hands slightly clasped together, Queen Medusa closed her beautiful eyes and her jade hands constantly changed into strange hand seals. As her hand seals changed, the energy fluctuations between heaven and earth in the bamboo forest suddenly became more intense.

Hiding in the bushes, Jing Chen noticed this change and was immediately startled. He slightly hunched over, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.

"What exactly does she want to do?" In the bamboo forest, the fluctuations grew more and more intense, and finally, a huge energy vortex was faintly formed above the small island. Looking at this change, Jing Chen asked in astonishment.

"Well... I'm not too sure either. Queen Medusa's evolution is quite mysterious. I've only heard about it before, but I've never seen it. However, it seems that the path of this evolution is not very accurate. In other words, even if she succeeds, no one knows what she will evolve into. This thing seems to be random," Yao Lao said with a wry smile. "But one thing is certain, it will still be related to snakes."

"..." Hearing Yao Lao's words, which were nothing but nonsense, Jing Chen shook his head speechlessly, giving up his intention to ask for details, and stared intently at Queen Medusa, whose body was already shrouded in a circle of dense light.

The light expanded and contracted continuously. After a moment, a roar, somewhat like that of a lion and somewhat like that of a tiger, resounded from within the light. Shortly after the roar, the blinding light suddenly intensified.

Under the blinding light, Jing Chen reflexively closed his eyes. A moment later, he opened them again, only to be shocked to find that a giant purple snake, over ten zhang long, was hovering above the island.

The giant purple serpent had a long and powerful body, with an understated elegance. Its pale purple pupils were not as ferocious as the giant serpent it had encountered in the lake earlier, but rather conveyed a sense of tranquility and serenity.

The giant purple serpent slowly twisted its body in mid-air, its massive head slightly turned toward the chaotic city wall. Only then did a hint of cold light flash in its pale purple pupils.
