Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

The Gama Empire, the Holy City.

In a magnificent palace, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on the bed, surrounded by fighting spirit, his aura steadily rising.

At the moment his momentum reached its peak, he suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, and a bright yellow flame surged within them, bursting forth with a sharp and intense light.

He slowly exhaled a breath of black, turbid air, and the surging aura around him completely subsided, a satisfied smile appearing on his lips.

"A nine-star Dou Shi!"

Xiao Yan stood up and stretched his muscles and bones, unleashing a set of fist techniques. The bright yellow fighting spirit was accompanied by the sound of wind howling and dragon roaring, sharp and powerful.

The old doctor's aged yet gratified voice resonated in his heart:

"Your combat experience has become quite solid during this period of training, and your previously weak battle aura has also been honed. Very good."

Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with worry as he asked softly, "Teacher, how are you recovering? You used up too much power subduing the Wind Fury Dragon Flame."

"Don't worry, I've almost fully recovered."

The old doctor's laughter carried a hint of mockery.

"The most important thing right now is to prepare for the Alchemist Conference. You, as a second-grade alchemist, can't afford to embarrass me."

The purpose of participating in this competition is twofold: first, to gain experience in major competitions, and second, to hone your skills in controlling the strange fire. Your current use of the strange fire is far too crude.

Xiao Yan scratched his head awkwardly. As the disciple of the continent's number one alchemist, he was indeed somewhat ashamed to have only reached the second-grade alchemist level. He immediately said seriously:

"Don't worry, teacher, I'm determined to win the championship this time!"

"It's good that you have that ambition."

The old doctor smiled, his tone suddenly becoming playful.

"But before that, you should deal with the unwanted advances outside."

Just as Xiao Yan was wondering, a respectful voice came from outside the hall:

"Mr. Yan Xiao, Princess Yao Ye and Princess Yao Yue have come to visit."

Upon hearing this, he shook his head helplessly and could only straighten his clothes to go and greet them. The joy of his breakthrough was instantly dampened by this unexpected social obligation.

……

On the way from the Black Corner Region to the Serpent People Empire, three people were traveling at a rapid pace amidst undulating mountain ranges.

These three people were Lin Yao, Qing Yue, and Zi Yan.

At this moment, they are following the mountain path, searching for treasures and honing their skills.

As an ancient dragon of the Void, Zi Yan possesses terrifying combat talent.

Even with only a sixth-tier magical beast body, it can easily contend with those top-tier sixth-tier magical beasts who are exceptionally talented and have rich combat experience.

This is a simple combat power-manipulation technique that Lin Yao tailored for Zi Yan based on her own power characteristics.

After Lin Yao taught these skills to Zi Yan, Zi Yan, who already had an amazing comprehension ability, quickly mastered them and her combat skills improved by leaps and bounds.

Zi Yan easily defeated a sixth-tier magical beast of equal strength.

Qingyue, standing to the side, showed even more astonishing progress.

She gradually developed the power of the Jade Serpent's three pupils, and her use of formations became increasingly skillful.

The three of them traveled through the mountains, and Zi Yan's treasure-hunting skills were put to full use.

Rare natural treasures, precious minerals, and high-level magic cores were all taken into their possession.

Whenever they encountered a powerful magical beast, Lin Yao would take the two of them out to train, honing their fighting spirit and skills in actual combat, and improving their teamwork.

When encountering a dangerous seventh-tier magical beast, Qingyue would activate the formation, with Lin Yao personally providing support from the side.

This allows the two to feel the pressure of fighting a seventh-tier magical beast with strength comparable to a Dou Zong expert, without being beaten to a pulp.

The two managed to win a few more moves by sheer luck.

Thus, this journey of learning and growing along the way takes far longer than traveling at full speed.

What should have been a one-month journey took the three of them nearly two months to complete.

But this time investment has yielded real growth.

Lin Yao consolidated his surging strength, and his internal fighting spirit became increasingly stable, having already reached the peak of the four-star Dou Zong realm.

Zi Yan digested countless rare and precious herbs, and her aura was comparable to that of a three-star Dou Huang.

Qingyue further broke through to the sixth-star Dou Wang level, and the strength of the Snake Jade Beast controlled by her Azure Eyes Three Flower Pupils was also enhanced.

As the vast Tagor Desert appeared on the horizon, Lin Yao's eyes suddenly brightened.

Thinking of his long-lost friends, a smile appeared on his face.

……

In the Serpent Man's Palace deep in the desert, a stunningly beautiful figure slowly opened her eyes; it was Queen Medusa.

She sat cross-legged on the couch, her aura vast and boundless, causing slight ripples in the space. She had already broken through to the second-star Dou Zong level, undergoing a complete transformation.

A sudden flutter in her heart stirred. She looked up at the edge of the desert, a gentle smile playing on her lips: "Is it you who's back?"

On the soft cushion beside her, the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, Xiao Cai, also opened its pale purple eyes. Sensing the closeness deep within its soul, it excitedly transformed into human form.

Dressed in a seven-colored dress, her delicate little face was full of joy as she rushed into Medusa's arms:

"Mother, I can feel Father! He's here!"

Medusa gently stroked Xiao Cai's head, held her little hand, and spatial power surged.

The two transformed into a streak of seven-colored rainbow light, soaring into the sky and speeding towards Lin Yao's direction.

Lin Yao and his two companions sped across the desert sky. Zi Yan looked at the endless yellow sand and pouted, somewhat disappointed.

"There are no treasures in the desert, it's not fun."

Lin Yao smiled and patted her head to comfort her.

After all, the greatest treasure of this desert, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, had already fallen into his hands, and there were no other treasures left.

Just then, a rainbow of light streaked across the sky from afar and stopped instantly in front of the three of them.

As the rainbow light faded, Queen Medusa, leading Xiao Cai, appeared, exuding elegance, charm, and extraordinary presence.

Lin Yao and Medusa locked eyes, the air thick with the complex emotions of a long-awaited reunion.

"You've arrived."

Medusa's voice was soft, yet carried a hint of barely perceptible anticipation.

"I'm here. Sorry I'm late."

Lin Yao said in a deep voice, his eyes full of apology.

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Cai had already broken free from Medusa's grasp, leaped into Lin Yao's arms, and clung tightly to his neck, her little face full of dependence.

"Father, I miss you so much!"

Lin Yao gently stroked Xiao Cai's hair.

Qingyue stepped forward and bowed with a smile:

"Long time no see, Queen."

Medusa looked at Qingyue, who was already a six-star Dou Wang, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She nodded slightly in return.

My name is Zi Yan.

Zi Yan first introduced herself, then looked at Medusa with curiosity, and then at Xiao Cai, her eyes full of wonder.

Xiao Cai leaned closer to Zi Yan, blinked, and asked:

"Sister Ziyan, are you also a magical beast in human form?"

"So you're one too, little one."

Zi Yan immediately became excited, hugged Xiao Cai and rubbed against her, and even took out her treasured pills to give to her.

The two little ones hit it off immediately and soon started playing together, chattering away.

Lin Yao looked at the heartwarming scene before him, his heart filled with tenderness. He then turned to Medusa and asked seriously:

"Your Majesty, what is the current situation of the Serpent People?"

Medusa gently shook her head, her gaze fixed intently on Lin Yao, her expression solemn and serious:

"We can discuss these matters later. Right now, I only want to fulfill the agreement we made back then."

Lin Yao instantly understood her meaning. Medusa had never forgotten that battle agreement where the outcome determined the conditions.

He looked at the imposing Medusa before him, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit, and nodded:

"Very well, let's settle this agreement today."

Medusa smiled slightly, and her body shimmered with iridescent light.

"I have already prepared the battlefield. This is not the right place. Follow me."

After saying that, she turned and flew northwest, with Lin Yao following closely behind, accompanied by Qingyue, Ziyan, and Xiaocai.

A moment later, the group arrived at a dense forest, the very place where Lin Yao and Medusa had their first duel.

"This is where our victory or defeat begins, and it should also be our end."

Medusa stood in the void, surrounded by seven-colored battle aura, and a strange seven-colored longsword slowly condensed, its tip pointing directly at Lin Yao.

A pale silver light flickered in Lin Yao's eyes, and endless blue-green flames surged in his hand, condensing into a long spear.

Standing with his hands behind his back in the void, his aura was calm and deep as an abyss. He looked up at the Medusa Queen opposite him, who had a charming figure and a cold and beautiful demeanor.

He didn't deliberately release any pressure, but the powerful force originating from the depths of his soul and cultivation had already quietly spread out.

Queen Medusa stood gracefully in mid-air, her colorful long dress fluttering in the wind, her exquisite face radiating a cold and aloof beauty.

Looking up at Lin Yao, Queen Medusa's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt as she gazed at the somewhat more mature young man before her.

However, when she truly touched the unfathomable aura surrounding Lin Yao, her pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly, and a storm suddenly surged in her heart.

She clearly remembered that the last time she clashed with Lin Yao, his cultivation level was still at the Dou Huang level.

Although his strength could overwhelm him, his cultivation level was higher, so they could still spar a few times.

But now, in just a short time, the boy has made astonishing progress, surpassing himself and reaching the level of a four-star Dou Zong. His speed of progress is simply astonishing.

On the other hand, she herself, relying on the heaven-defying bloodline of the Seven-Colored Devouring Python, went through life-and-death evolution before finally breaking through to the second-star Dou Zong level.

They thought they were enough to contend with Lin Yao head-on, or even surpass him.

But now that she was truly facing Lin Yao, she clearly realized that the gap between them was something that bloodline could not bridge.

Queen Medusa was deeply shocked by Lin Yao's progress.

But in reality, Lin Yao's progress was far more terrifying than she had imagined.

Even though they were both at the Dou Zong realm, Lin Yao's true combat strength had already surpassed the limitations of his realm, enough to easily crush ordinary peak Dou Zong experts.

Even with the bloodline of an ancient beast, she had no chance to resist in the face of absolute power.

Queen Medusa took a deep breath, suppressing her shock, her beautiful face still maintaining the aloofness of a queen.

She could feel Lin Yao's overwhelming power, but her inherent fighting spirit and pride prevented her from backing down.

Instead, it ignited the dormant fighting spirit within me.

She couldn't just give up like that.

She wanted the young man before her to understand that she, Medusa, had not wasted a single moment of her time these past few days.

Her power is also increasing day and night.

With a thought, Queen Medusa gently clenched her jade hand, and the ancient bloodline originating from the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python within her body began to circulate rapidly.

In an instant, an extremely dense seven-colored battle aura surged out from her body, transforming into streams of light that swirled around her.

The aura of the two-star Dou Zong surged wildly, and the surrounding space trembled slightly due to this surge of power.

Driven by the full power of her bloodline, Queen Medusa forcefully raised her combat strength to the level of a high-ranking Dou Zong.

A seven-colored longsword floated beside him, its blade gleaming with light and exuding a power that seemed to devour the heavens and the earth.

She looked up at Lin Yao, her beautiful eyes filled with fierce fighting spirit. With a leap, she charged towards Lin Yao.

Lin Yao stood motionless, watching Medusa charging towards him with the power of her bloodline, his eyes calm and unwavering.

He didn't even use any powerful fighting techniques, only the most basic movement and fighting spirit skills.

With a flicker of light, the spear, wreathed in blue flames, seemed to come alive in his hands, each swing precise to the extreme.

The seemingly casual parries and counterattacks were able to easily deal with Queen Medusa's attacks.

Queen Medusa unleashed her full power, her seven-colored sword energy crisscrossing, each strike capable of splitting mountains and cleaving rivers.

However, when it landed in front of Lin Yao, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, easily neutralized by him.

She fought back with all her might, but could only barely withstand a few casual moves from Lin Yao.

Even with the power of a high-level Dou Zong, he was still repeatedly defeated and suppressed in the face of Lin Yao's overwhelming strength and superb combat skills.

This so-called battle agreement was more like a one-sided exchange of pointers.

In just a few breaths, Lin Yao's eyes narrowed slightly, and his wrist trembled slightly.

The Azure Flame Spear thrust out with an irresistible force, striking precisely the spine of Queen Medusa's longsword.

"clang--"

A clear, crisp sound echoed across the sky.

Queen Medusa felt a tremendous force surge through the sword, her wrist went numb instantly, and the seven-colored sword almost slipped from her grasp.

His body was forced to retreat uncontrollably for dozens of feet, a faint trace of scarlet blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

It was clearly affected by the backlash.

However, due to Lin Yao's control over his power, he only suffered minor injuries and recovered in an instant.

Lin Yao sheathed his spear, his aura remaining calm, and not even the hem of his clothes moved.

This is the true difference between the two now.

Lin Yao's current regular combat strength is already comparable to that of a peak Dou Zong.

Even when facing a powerhouse who has just entered the Dou Zun level, he is qualified to go toe-to-toe with him.

Defeating Medusa, a two-star Dou Zong, was a piece of cake; it was nothing out of the ordinary.

In the void, the breath gradually calmed down.

Queen Medusa, her wrist trembling slightly, looked up at Lin Yao, a hint of regret that she could not hide flashing across her beautiful face.

Yet beneath that regret, a subtle tenderness and admiration quietly welled up, one that even she herself was unaware of.

It was a sense of awe for the strong, and even more so, a deep-seated feeling for the young man before her.

Lin Yao noticed Queen Medusa's unusual behavior, but assumed it was because she was unwilling to accept defeat and didn't think much of it.

The three little ones, seeing that the two had finished their fight, hurriedly ran over.

After inquiring about the two's condition and finding that there were no problems, they breathed a sigh of relief and went back to playing.

Ziyan and Xiaocai didn't understand the things that adults did.

……

Inside the temple of the snake people.

The following day, a tender and lingering moment ensued.

The clouds dispersed and the rain stopped, and a warm halo enveloped the two of them. Lin Yao gently hugged the sleeping Medusa in his arms and lightly stroked her smooth, long hair with his fingertips.

After this intense moment of tenderness, he felt completely refreshed, and his soul and fighting spirit reached an unprecedented state of perfection.

……
