Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant

This is the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, ranked nineteenth on the Doupo Continent's list of extraordinary flames. As the name suggests, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame exists within the molten lava at the Earth's core.

The Azure Lotus Core Flame is born deep within the earth, undergoing countless tempering, fusion, compression, and sculpting processes by underground magma... until it finally becomes the Azure Lotus Core Flame.

It takes ten years to form a spirit, a hundred years to take shape, and a thousand years to become a lotus.

When the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame reaches its full potential, its color leans towards blue, and a cluster of blue flames grows from the heart of the lotus. This flame is called Azure Lotus Flame, also known as Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

This fire is incredibly powerful; near volcanic areas, it can even trigger volcanic eruptions, creating a devastating natural force.

The symbiotic treasure of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame is the Azure Lotus Seat. During cultivation, it can calm the mind and prevent demonic possession, and also make one highly sensitive to the fire attribute energy in the world.

When collecting the lotus seat, one must be careful and not act rashly. It is necessary to use jade tools, such as jade rulers or jade knives, to cut it from the rock at the bottom of the volcano. It is not advisable to use violence to forcibly pull it out.

In addition, the Azure Lotus Throne also produces special Earth Fire Lotus Seeds, which have a wide range of uses. They can assist those with fire-attribute battle qi in their cultivation and can also be used to enhance battle qi.

But its real function.

Nobody knew.

Earth Fire Lotus Seeds are extremely rare; they only arise when the Azure Lotus Core Fire and the Azure Lotus Seat coexist in the same location.

It takes hundreds of years to form a single lotus seed, and thousands of years to form at most ten lotus seeds.

Originally, neither the Earth Fire Lotus Seed nor the Azure Lotus Seat would have been discovered by the Stupid Serpent, so he hastily collected the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame and left.

However, Dongqing reminded her that the treasure associated with the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame was no less valuable than any other flame.

So this silly snake didn't hesitate to pluck everything clean, and even dug up some of the magma around the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire to let Dongqing take a look.

......

As expected of the Azure Lotus Throne, which is the companion treasure of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, every time the azure flame is about to swim out of the lotus throne's range, a faint white light shield will suddenly appear, confining the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame within the lotus throne.

After glancing at the small pond, Dongqing's gaze shifted to the left.

next moment.

A face so beautiful it was almost bewitching immediately caught his eye.

This is the stupid snake, Queen Medusa of the Snake People in the Tagor Desert of the Jama Empire.

At this moment, Queen Medusa sat regally beside the lotus throne.

Look closely.

A luxurious and expensive purple brocade robe enveloped her graceful figure, revealing her voluptuous and alluring body.

Her long, narrow, light purple eyes were naturally alluring, capable of drawing the gaze of almost any man.

Beneath the taut purple brocade robe, a long purple snake tail peeked out, lazily swaying and releasing a unique, wild, and exotic charm.

Queen Medusa had no time to pay attention to Dong Qing, who was slowly approaching. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the blue flames in the small pool.

Reflected by the bright light of the blue flames, the pupils of those pale purple eyes also flickered with the arc of flames.

After staring silently at the blue flames for a long time, Queen Medusa suddenly sighed softly. She turned to look at Dongqing, then swayed her serpentine tail and slowly straightened her fiery, delicate body.

"You've arrived?"

"I am coming."

"Who sent you?"

"I came voluntarily."

"You shouldn't have come. I don't have confidence."

"If you die, I'll just collect your body."

The voice just fell.

A huge purple snake tail swept past at lightning speed, directly engulfing Dong Qing.

"Dongqing, what did you just say? Collect my corpse, Queen?"

Queen Medusa narrowed her eyes. From her high vantage point, she could transform into a giant purple python and devour Dongqing in one gulp. That was exactly what she did when she first met Dongqing.

But...doing this will make my stomach hurt.

then.

She thought she was definitely going to die, but to her surprise, Dong Qing let her go. Just as she stared at Dong Qing with wide, bewildered eyes, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

The man revealed his wolfish ambition, grabbing her waist and biting her, making it difficult for her to breathe freely for a long time.

"You yourself lack confidence and want to be burned to ashes by the strange fire. I'll collect your corpse, isn't that perfect?"

Dongqing naturally wrapped one arm around Queen Medusa's serpentine waist, and with a hint of displeasure in her eyes, gently pried open the snake tail that was binding him with the other hand.

Queen Medusa was alluring, literally alluring.

Her allure was captivating.

She was born with a captivating charm.

It is breathtaking.

She wore a magnificent purple brocade robe, beneath which lay a voluptuous and alluring figure, like a ripe peach.

Just one word: smooth. Her long, black hair cascaded down her shoulders, reaching her slender waist.

Beneath the brocade robe, a section of purple snake tail was visible. The snake tail swayed slightly, exuding a wild and alluring charm that made one's whole body feel uncontrollably hot and burning.

This kind of woman seems to be best described as alluring, yet beneath that allure lies a queenly nobility and grace.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I'm completely without confidence. We've prepared for so many years and collected so many Ice Spirit Springs, all for this day. Your Majesty, I'm just worried that the legend of the Snake People is false."

Queen Medusa looked somewhat worried, and there was a hint of insecurity in her bright eyes.

Her suspicions were not unfounded; who knows if this was something the ancestors of the snake people had fabricated to impress other races?

She had only ever heard of using strange fire to refine medicine, but throwing herself into strange fire and enduring its burning seemed like suicide. She was neither a medicinal herb nor an iron ore.

Herbs can be turned into elixirs, and iron ore can be turned into ironware.

What did she become?

Turning into dust and ashes?

"Since you also have doubts, then don't court death."

Dong Qing tried to reach out and feel the great bosom of Queen Medusa, but she was in no mood to switch jobs with Dong Qing right now, and slapped his unclean groping hand away.

Not bad.

Like Ya Fei, Queen Medusa definitely changed her class. Dong Qing is not a man who doesn't eat meat; he eats meat whenever there is meat, let alone a seductive woman like Queen Medusa.

This isn't a novel. The man and woman have been together for over ten years and haven't even held each other's hands. Dong Qing is even worse than before, taking every opportunity to discuss how to change jobs.

"But Your Majesty, I want to try. It's an opportunity for bloodline evolution. Even if it means facing nine deaths and one life, I want to try." Queen Medusa's tone gradually became firm.

Although the snake people are doing well now, and Dongqing doesn't mind her snake person identity, she is not satisfied with the present. She wants to evolve her bloodline and reach a higher realm.

Snake-man, snake-man, the nature of snakes.

Ordinary snakes can usually switch jobs for a few hours, while pythons can switch jobs for a whole day. As for snake people like her, switching jobs for ten days or half a month at a time is not a problem.

In human nations, apart from a few people with strange quirks, most humans keep their distance from snake people, as the difference in their physical abilities is simply not on the same level.

Having a strong physique doesn't necessarily mean you have to use it for job advancement; you might also end up being used as a slave.

Therefore, snake people became slaves in the eyes of humans, and also laborers engaged in various heavy physical tasks.

“Bloodline evolution doesn’t necessarily have to be achieved by gambling with your life in this way. If I had a better method, would you consider it?” Dong Qing asked.

"nonsense."

Queen Medusa rolled her eyes at Dong Qing. Given a choice, she certainly didn't want to choose this life-or-death method; what if she lost control of the strange fire and burned herself to ashes...?

"Then let's call it a day?" Dongqing asked.

"Dongqing, you are not allowed to lie to the Queen!"

Queen Medusa did not suspect Dong Qing. After all, he was her only man, and given his infatuation with her, it was highly unlikely that he would intentionally harm her.

seriously.

Queen Medusa is sometimes quite strange. She is beautiful, but she is far from being a scourge to the country. Otherwise, someone at the Dou Zong level or above would have taken her as their personal possession long ago.

Whether it was Yue Mei, the Snake-People, or the other female elders at the Dou Wang level, if they dressed up properly, they wouldn't be any less attractive than herself, but this man just wasn't interested.

Could it be that love at first sight really exists in this world?

Queen Medusa sometimes pondered this question.

"Why would I lie to you? I've been sending you strange fire and pills, and now I'm even planning to help you break through the shackles of your bloodline. Your suspicion has undoubtedly deeply hurt me."

Dong Qing clutched his chest and collapsed into Queen Medusa's arms, looking quite badly injured.

"Heartbroken? A man like you can be heartbroken? Stop with the glib talk. Tell the Queen how to evolve her bloodline, or I will still be tempted to use the strange fire to evolve my bloodline."

Queen Medusa frowned her beautiful brows. Although Dong Qing treated her very well, in her eyes, Dong Qing was a scoundrel, a scoundrel who tried every means to bully her.

As for how to bully him?

Some things are hard to say.

Anyway, it's not suitable for children.

"It's very simple. The Earth Fire Lotus Seed of the Azure Lotus Core Flame has the power to stimulate one's own bloodline. One Earth Fire Lotus Seed per month can induce bloodline evolution in ten months."

Dong Qing started spouting nonsense. He didn't know if the Earth Fire Lotus Seed had this ability, but he was capable of giving it to the Earth Fire Lotus Seed.

"But the legends left by the snake-people clearly state that they used a strange fire to forge their bodies..."

Queen Medusa hesitated, feeling that Dong Qing was deceiving her, but even if he was, it was for her own good, leaving her unable to utter a single word of blame.

This man evoked both her hatred and love for her.

She hated that he had ambiguous relationships with other women.

She loved how incredibly kind and attentive he was to her.

This kindness made her unable to believe that Dong Qing was really only after her. She was afraid, afraid that he was doing this just to turn the snake people into his personal vassals.

Although she knew that Dongqing had no reason or need to do this, if he really wanted to subdue the snake people, he could have just used force. There was no need to go through all this trouble and deliberately take such a roundabout way.

Queen Medusa was often confused about the relationship between the snake people and herself, wondering what Dongqing was after, since she was just a snake woman.
