Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

The Tagor Desert.

Lin Yao stood with his hands behind his back, his long black robe fluttering in the wind, the dark gold patterns embroidered on the hem occasionally flashing a sharp luster in the sunlight.

His gaze calmly fell on Queen Medusa not far in front of him, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

At this moment, Queen Medusa narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, staring intently at Lin Yao.

To be precise, they were staring at the strange fire leaping in Lin Yao's palm, radiating an aura of destruction.

The flames were a dark blue color, and although the flames were thin, they carried the power to scorch the heavens and boil the seas, distorting and deforming the surrounding air.

Even the sandstorm that comes within three feet will instantly turn into a wisp of smoke.

The strange fire, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire.

This is something Queen Medusa has long awaited, hoping to use it to evolve, break through to the next level, and change the current situation of the snake people.

The allure of this strange flame was enough for her to spare no expense.

However, Queen Medusa recalled the unfathomable aura she had sensed from Lin Yao earlier, and her heart sank. She felt somewhat unwilling, as she was only one step away.

The young man before him, though of a similar level, was also a nine-star Dou Huang.

However, she could clearly sense that the seemingly young human boy in front of her was far more powerful than the nine-star Dou Huang he appeared to be.

If that hidden power within him were to fully erupt, he would be completely unable to cope with it.

Upon realizing this, Queen Medusa's desire for the appearance of the strange fire dissipated once again, and she felt a desire to retreat.

She has always been arrogant and never takes anyone seriously. Even when facing the Dou Huang powerhouses of the surrounding human empires, she never showed the slightest fear.

But today, in front of Lin Yao, she truly felt a sense of dread that came from the depths of her soul.

escape!

The moment the thought arose, it spread like wildfire through her mind.

But Lin Yao seemed to have already seen through her thoughts, and said softly, "Queen Medusa, this is not a place where you can come and go as you please."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yao moved like a ghost.

He didn't use any fancy fighting techniques, nor did he deliberately release his fighting spirit; he simply stomped his foot lightly on the ground.

In an instant, the golden sand beneath their feet seemed to be crushed by an invisible force, and it exploded with a bang.

Countless grains of sand turned into sharp fragments, which flew in all directions.

His figure traced an arcane path through the gale, and in an instant, he appeared before Queen Medusa.

Queen Medusa's expression changed; she knew she could no longer escape.

This queen of the snake people has never had the habit of backing down.

Even if she were to retreat, she would never surrender to a powerful enemy.

With a sudden wave of her hand, her fighting spirit surged instantly.

A dense, purplish-red battle aura surged forth like a tidal wave, coalescing behind her into a gigantic phantom of a purple-glowing flame serpent.

The python-like shadow opened its blood-red maw, its menacing fangs gleaming with a cold light, and pounced towards Lin Yao with an aura that seemed to devour the heavens and earth.

This attack was Queen Medusa's all-out effort.

The Purple Nether Flame Serpent is a fusion of the innate divine power of the sixth-tier magical beast, the Purple Nether Flame Serpent.

When unleashed with the power of a nine-star Dou Huang, even experts of the same level would have to temporarily avoid its edge.

However, faced with this powerful attack, Lin Yao simply raised his hand indifferently.

The fighting spirit within his body slowly condensed, without any earth-shattering phenomena; only a faint golden halo covered his fist.

Immediately afterwards, his seemingly thin arm swung out suddenly.

This punch, seemingly ordinary and without any dazzling special effects, contained immense power.

The fist whistled and collided violently with the phantom of the purple flame serpent.

"Bang!"

A deafening roar exploded in the desert sky.

The violent energy shockwave spread out like ripples, instantly leveling the surrounding sand dunes.

Sand waves, several meters high, surged into the sky and then crashed down heavily.

The phantom of the purple flame serpent behind Queen Medusa was as fragile as paper under Lin Yao's punch.

It shattered inch by inch, turning into countless fragments of battle aura that dissipated in the raging wind.

Queen Medusa herself was struck as if by a heavy blow; her delicate body trembled violently, and a trace of bright red blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

Her phoenix eyes were filled with disbelief and shock.

Her innate divine power, which she activated with all her might, couldn't even withstand a single punch from the opponent.

Lin Yao stood firmly in place, not even the hem of his clothes was ruffled.

His gaze remained calm as he looked at Queen Medusa, his tone indifferent: "I am too strong; you are no match for me."

Hearing Lin Yao's blunt words, Queen Medusa's face turned pale and then red, humiliation and anger intertwined in her heart.

Just as she was preparing to fight to the death, Lin Yao, who had noticed the situation, approached at an extremely fast speed and appeared behind Queen Medusa.

Before Queen Medusa could react, she was struck directly on the back of the neck.

Queen Medusa didn't even have a chance to resist. Her vision went black, and she completely lost consciousness, collapsing limply to the ground.

Lin Yao slowly withdrew his fist, his gaze falling on the unconscious Queen Medusa.

He bent down and lifted Queen Medusa's delicate body as if lifting a weightless rag doll.

In an instant, he sped off into the depths of the desert.

……

Half an hour later, Lin Yao looked down at the sand dunes ahead and saw a sizable cluster of buildings.

The buildings were all constructed from massive piles of rocks, with a rugged and rustic style that exuded a wild and untamed atmosphere.

The top of the building is carved with a lifelike serpentine totem that gleams with a cold luster in the sunlight.

This is the Serpent Clan, one of the seven major tribes of the Serpent People.

Lin Yao paused slightly in mid-air, about to continue forward, when a keen aura suddenly erupted from the tribe below.

"Who goes there?!"

A clear, cold question, accompanied by a sharp fluctuation of fighting spirit, suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a purple figure darted out of the tribe like an arrow released from a bow, and in an instant, it was in front of Lin Yao.

She was an extremely beautiful woman, wearing a tight-fitting purple dress that accentuated her shapely figure.

She wore a silver snake-shaped belt around her waist, and her long, black hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall. Her bright eyes held a wary look.

This person is none other than Yue Mei, the leader of the Mei She tribe.

Yue Mei's gaze first fell on Lin Yao, and then it was drawn to the Medusa Queen that Lin Yao was carrying.

When she saw Queen Medusa's stunningly beautiful face, her pupils suddenly contracted, and her face was instantly filled with shock.

"Your Majesty?!"

Yue Mei gasped in disbelief.

She could clearly sense that Queen Medusa's vital energy was extremely weak, indicating that she had fallen into a coma.

And this human boy before us actually dared to kidnap Her Majesty the Queen?!

A surge of anger instantly rose from the depths of Yue Mei's heart.

As the leader of the Serpent Clan, she was utterly loyal to Queen Medusa.

Seeing the Queen captured, how could he remain calm? Even if he was no match for her, he would not surrender without a fight.

With a flick of her jade-like hand, a serpentine dagger gleaming with cold light appeared in her grasp. Her battle aura surged wildly as she shouted sharply:

"Human brat, put down Her Majesty the Queen! Otherwise, you won't leave the Serpent Clan alive today!"

Lin Yao didn't even bother to look at her.

Yue Mei's strength was merely that of a Dou Wang, and in his eyes, she was utterly insignificant.

He didn't even use his battle aura; he simply flicked his finger.

An invisible burst of energy shot out and struck Yue Mei precisely between the eyebrows.

Yue Mei's body suddenly stiffened, and the anger and vigilance in her eyes were instantly replaced by bewilderment.

Immediately, her eyelids drooped, and she collapsed limply, completely losing consciousness.

Lin Yao reached out and picked up Yue Mei as well, as if she were two insignificant items.

He glanced at the Serpent Tribe below, then without pausing, his figure transformed into a streak of light once more, speeding towards the depths of the desert.

Several hours later, an even more magnificent complex of buildings appeared before Lin Yao's eyes.

It was a temple built of obsidian, its towering buildings shimmering with a mysterious luster in the sunlight.

Above the palace gate is carved a huge, lifelike purple flame serpent totem, as if it might come to life at any moment.

The temple was surrounded by dense fluctuations of battle energy, faintly exuding an ancient and majestic aura.

This is the sacred land of the Serpent People, and also the core of their power: the temple.

Lin Yao's figure slowly landed in front of the temple gate.

His arrival immediately alerted the guards inside the temple.

"You audacious scoundrel! How dare you trespass on the temple!"

Several snake-people guards, wielding spears, rushed out of the temple and shouted fiercely.

Their gazes fell on Lin Yao, and when they saw the Medusa Queen and Yue Mei that Lin Yao was carrying, their faces instantly turned pale.

However, before the guards could make a move, four even more terrifying auras, like four invisible mountains, suddenly pressed down from the depths of the temple.

Immediately afterwards, four figures slowly walked out of the temple.

These four individuals were all dressed in simple black robes, with white hair and beards, and their faces were marked by the passage of time. They were four peak nine-star Dou Huang experts.

They are the four elders of the Snake-People tribe, and represent the strongest foundation of the Snake-People tribe besides Queen Medusa.

The leading elder, with piercing eyes, stared intently at Lin Yao, his voice aged yet carrying an undeniable authority:

"Human brat, how dare you! You dare kidnap my Serpent-People queen and tribal chief, and even trespass on my temple! Do you know what a capital offense this is?"

The other three elders also had ashen faces and their eyes were filled with raging anger.

They had lived for hundreds of years and had never seen such arrogant humans who dared to come to their door so openly.

"capital offense?"

Lin Yao smiled faintly.

"You think you're qualified to utter those two words?"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yao's aura suddenly burst forth without reservation.

A powerful battle aura, far surpassing that of a nine-star Dou Huang, swept outwards like a surging river.

At the same time, an extremely powerful spiritual force, like a massive, overwhelming wave, instantly enveloped the entire temple.

That spiritual power was vast and domineering, carrying an aura of looking down upon the world.

The four elders, all at the peak of the Douhuang realm, felt their scalps tingle under the pressure of this spiritual force.

His fighting spirit became stagnant, and even breathing became extremely difficult.

The First Elder's expression instantly became extremely solemn.

He could clearly sense that the strength of the boy in front of him was absolutely terrifying.

If that power hidden within him were to fully erupt, the entire temple would likely be razed to the ground.

"Who...who are you?"

The Grand Elder's voice trembled slightly for the first time.

Lin Yao did not answer, but simply looked calmly at the four elders, his tone indifferent:

"I'm not here to fight you."

The Grand Elder's heart stirred slightly.

He glanced at the unconscious Medusa Queen and Yue Mei in Lin Yao's arms, then looked at Lin Yao's young yet incredibly composed face, and instantly understood something.

The young man before them was incredibly strong, yet he didn't kill them outright, clearly indicating he had other motives.

The situation is better than people.

If they were to actually fight, given the opponent's strength, even the four elders, along with all the guards of the temple, might not be a match for them.

At that time, the snake-people race will likely face annihilation.

A flicker of struggle flashed in the Grand Elder's eyes. Then, he took a deep breath, bowed to Lin Yao, and spoke with a hint of helplessness:

"Since you haven't come here to fight, please be clear. If it's within the capabilities of my snake-people race, we will do our utmost."

The other three elders all looked unwilling, but they understood the First Elder's predicament.

Faced with absolute power, any pride or anger seems pale and powerless.

There was a deeper reason why the Grand Elder was so willing to compromise.

The Serpent People are not native to the Gama Empire, but rather migrated from the Central Plains a thousand years ago.

According to the clan's ancient records, the Central Plains are home to countless powerful individuals and numerous geniuses.

Those young people who possess such terrifying strength at a young age often have a powerful and influential force behind them.

The young man before me is very likely from a top power in Zhongzhou.

If we were to truly fight to the death with him, it would likely bring annihilation upon the snake-people race.

Just then, the Medusa Queen in Lin Yao's hands trembled slightly with her eyelashes and slowly opened her eyes.

When she saw the scene before her, the outline of the temple, the bowing elder, and Lin Yao standing in front of her as if in control of everything, her phoenix eyes were instantly filled with intense resentment and shock.

She struggled to break free from Lin Yao's restraints, but found that her body was bound by an invisible force and she could not move at all.

Why...?

Queen Medusa's voice was slightly hoarse and filled with disbelief.

"You're just a nine-star Dou Huang, how come you're so strong?! Even if you started cultivating in the womb, you couldn't possibly reach this level, right?"

She simply couldn't understand how a human boy who looked to be only about twenty years old could possess such terrifying strength and suppress her so easily.

Lin Yao ignored her questioning and simply looked calmly at the four elders and the awakened Medusa Queen.

Upon seeing this, the Grand Elder quickly gave Queen Medusa a wink.

Although Queen Medusa was unwilling, she was not stupid and immediately understood the Grand Elder's meaning.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the anger and humiliation in her heart, and fell silent.

A moment later, the Grand Elder cupped his hands to Lin Yao and said, "Your Excellency, could you please release Her Majesty the Queen and Chief Yue Mei? We can discuss this matter at our leisure."

Lin Yao nodded slightly, flicked his finger, and two invisible streams of energy shot into the bodies of Queen Medusa and Yue Mei respectively.

The force binding them vanished instantly, and the two staggered to their feet.

Yue Mei quickly ran to Queen Medusa's side, supporting her, her gaze towards Lin Yao filled with apprehension.

Queen Medusa steadied herself, looked coldly at Lin Yao, and said nothing.

The First Elder gave Queen Medusa and the other three elders a wink, and the group stepped aside and began to discuss in hushed tones.

"Your Majesty, this person is far too powerful; we are no match for him. If we were to fight him head-on, the entire Serpent People tribe would likely be doomed."

The Grand Elder's voice was very low and tinged with solemnity, "In my humble opinion, it would be better to compromise for now and see what he really wants."

"compromise?"

Queen Medusa's voice carried a hint of resentment.

"In all these years that my Serpent People have roamed the Tagor Desert, when have we ever yielded to humanity?"

"Your Majesty, the situation is beyond our control!"

The Second Elder sighed.

"This person's strength far exceeds our imagination. Even a Dou Zong expert might not be his match. If we resist, we might face the extermination of our entire clan."

"Moreover, this person is very likely from Zhongzhou."

The elder added.

"The power of Zhongzhou is not something we can afford to provoke. If we make an enemy of them, the consequences will be dire."

Queen Medusa remained silent.

She looked at the boy standing with his hands behind his back in the distance, feeling the faint but powerful pressure emanating from him. The resentment in her heart surged like a tidal wave, yet she was helpless to do anything about it.

After a long while, Queen Medusa's shoulders slowly slumped.

She knew the elder was right.

The snake people have survived in this desert for so many years, and their heritage is hard-won.

If her momentary impulse leads to the annihilation of her entire race, then she is a sinner against the Snake People.

"Okay, I agree to compromise."

Queen Medusa's voice carried a hint of weariness and humiliation.

"Tell me, what exactly do you want?"

The four elders all breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Yao's gaze slowly swept over the crowd, and he said in a deep voice, "My conditions are simple—surrender, or die."

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.

Even the Grand Elder's expression changed.

Surrender?

How could the mighty Serpent People submit to a mere human boy?

This is an absolute disgrace!

Queen Medusa's body trembled violently, and a fierce rage instantly ignited in her eyes as she shouted sharply:

"Insolence! My snake-people race would rather die than surrender! You will never make us submit!"

"Rather die than surrender?"

Lin Yao smiled faintly, and his aura suddenly erupted once again.

An even more terrifying pressure, like Mount Tai pressing down, instantly enveloped the entire temple.

The four elders, Queen Medusa, and Yue Mei felt as if a boulder was pressing on their chests, making it difficult to breathe, and their legs trembled slightly.

Lin Yao's strength was clearly only that of a nine-star Dou Huang, but the aura he unleashed far surpassed that of a Dou Zong expert!

"I can tell you clearly that with your current strength, you are not qualified to negotiate with me at all."

Lin Yao's voice was icy and chilling.

"Submit to me, and I can ensure your Serpent People's race's eternal existence in this desert. I can even help you increase your strength, giving you the opportunity to return to the Central Plains."

His words, like a thunderclap, exploded in everyone's ears.

Returning to Zhongzhou?

These four words instantly struck at the Accomplished Elder and the others' weak spot.

The Serpent People have always aimed to return to the Central Plains, but due to insufficient strength, they have been forced to remain in this desert.

If this young man truly has the ability to help them return to Zhongzhou...

The elder's gaze instantly turned fervent.

Queen Medusa was also startled, and the anger in her eyes slowly faded, replaced by a hint of hesitation.

She looked at Lin Yao, at this young yet incredibly domineering boy, and felt a mix of emotions.

To submit means to humiliation.

But if they do not submit, their entire clan will be wiped out.

Moreover, the other party promised to help them improve their strength and return to Zhongzhou.

The temptation is just too great.

The snake people have been in this barren desert for far too long.

The decline in strength and the scarcity of resources have brought the development of the Serpent People to a bottleneck.

If they could get help from this young man, the future of the snake people would be bright.

The four elders began to discuss the matter in hushed tones again, and this time, their discussion was even more intense than before.

Finally, the Grand Elder raised his head, looking at Lin Yao with a complex expression, and slowly said, "We... agree to submit."

Queen Medusa closed her eyes, and a single tear slid down her cheek.

She knew this was the only option.

The situation is beyond our control.

The snake-people had no chance of resistance.
