Chapter 101: You Guessed Wrong

Being able to cause subtle spatial ripples implies that the other party's strength has reached the peak of Dou Emperor, just one step away from Dou Ancestor!

Undoubtedly, this terrifying aura emanates from the Queen Medusa of the Snake People Tribe in Tager Desert!

Yun Tianming lifted the Green Lotus with one hand, spread his Dark Feather Wings, and flew at full speed towards Mo City. Although he promised Hai Bo Dong to negotiate with Queen Medusa, his current physical condition clearly wasn't suitable for reasoning. Because the principles of this Dou Qi Continent are built upon strength!

"The intense fire attribute energy, it's indeed Heavenly Flame!"

Queen Medusa's captivating eyes sparkled with excitement.

According to the secret passed down through generations of the Snake People Tribe queens, somewhere in Tager Desert, there hides a Heavenly Flame. By utilizing the Heavenly Flame to perform the Secret Technique, there is a certain probability that Queen Medusa could evolve to the realm of Dou Ancestor. 

After years of searching, she has roughly deduced several possible areas where the Heavenly Flame might appear. All that's left is to narrow down the search one by one. According to Queen Medusa's prediction, it could take as long as a year or as short as a few months to pinpoint the exact location of the Heavenly Flame. However, unexpectedly today, she sensed the eruption of the Heavenly Flame without any warning.

"Huh? The aura of the Heavenly Flame is moving, someone has acted faster?!"

Queen Medusa's beautiful face slightly darkened. Being constitutionally cold, she is particularly sensitive to the aura of fire. Subconsciously releasing her Soul Power, she found that the target was not within her sensing range.

"Soul Power surpasses mine, not good! Could it be a High-level Alchemist among humans?"

It's widely known how insanely attractive Heavenly Flame is to Alchemists; they are willing to sacrifice their lives for it without hesitation!

However, Heavenly Flame is the key item for Queen Medusa's evolution, so she certainly won't give up easily.

With her jade hands clasped together, Queen Medusa closed her eyes. A dazzling purple light, elegant and beautiful, emanated from her figure. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a purple serpent tens of yards long. In an instant, the weather changed drastically, thunder roared, and lightning flashed! The terrifying aura of the peak of Dou Emperor spread throughout the entire Tager Desert!

"Is this... the aura of Her Majesty the Queen?"

"What on earth is happening?"

"She actually, at any cost, summoned her true form?"

The various tribes of the Snake People Tribe all sensed something, revealing expressions of horror.

Summoning the true form of a Magic Beast consumes immense energy, and after the battle, the body will be in a weakened state similar to the First Stage for a period of time. From this, it's evident that Queen Medusa is desperate to obtain the Heavenly Flame!

"!!!"

"She actually directly transformed into the true form of a Magic Beast?"

Yun Tianming instinctively turned his head. Although he couldn't see Queen Medusa's true form of the Magic Beast from this distance, he could vaguely see the changes in the sky in the distance.

Unlike humans, shortly after their birth, the Snake People Tribe undergoes a special Secret Technique, infusing the soul of a snake Magic Beast into their bodies. As they age and their strength grows, this snake Magic Beast, as a companion soul, gradually merges with the host until they are indistinguishable. When facing strong enemies, summoning the true form of the snake spirit will instantly boost their strength by a significant margin, making it the ultimate trump card of the Snake People Tribe!

Queen Medusa's snake spirit is a Sixth Rank Magic Beast: Purple Flame Serpent, said to contain a trace of the bloodline of the ancient divine beast, the Heaven Swallowing Python. With the true form of the Magic Beast appearing, Queen Medusa's combat power will easily crush Dou Emperors of the same level and even hold her ground against Dou Ancestor-level experts.

"Hmph~ After summoning my true form, no one has ever been able to escape from under my nose!"

With pale purple snake pupils, Queen Medusa stared indifferently in the direction where Yun Tianming had departed. After transforming into a Magic Beast, she could utilize the snake scales on her body to sense the energy in the atmosphere. The wild energy emanating from the Heavenly Flame was like the brightest light in the darkness, guiding her pursuit.

The massive snake body slithered through the air. At first glance, its movement speed didn't seem very fast, but that was just an illusion. The aura of the purple serpent faintly broke through the bottleneck of Dou Emperor, approaching the level of Dou Ancestor, thus allowing it to harness a portion of spatial power. In the process of moving, by distorting the space ahead, it propelled its massive body forward at extraordinary speed!

"Damn it! At this speed, I'll probably be caught up within minutes!"

Yun Tianming simultaneously employed Dark Feather Wings and Bursting Void Steps, exerting all his strength to fly frantically. However, it was evident that he couldn't compare with the purple serpent, which had mastery over even a hint of spatial power. The distance between them was rapidly shrinking.

At present, Queen Medusa's perception has not yet locked onto him. The other party is merely following the scent emitted by the Heavenly Flame. As the distance between them closes, once Queen Medusa locks onto him, Yun Tianming will absolutely not be able to escape.

"Tsk! It seems like leaving will require paying a price."

Yun Tianming glanced at the Green Lotus in his hand and decisively plucked a green Fire Lotus seed from its pod. After dabbing it with a bit of flame from the Heavenly Flame, it burst into fierce flames, emitting incredibly dense fire attribute energy.

"Go!"

With a flick of his finger, he shot the Fire Lotus seed in another direction.

"And this."

Yun Tianming took out the core of the Sixth Rank Magic Beast: Earth Fire Spider, which he had previously salvaged from his Spatial Ring. After dabbing it with a bit of flame from the Heavenly Flame, he activated the core's raging fire attribute energy within.

He threw the Sixth Rank Magic Beast core in the direction of Mo City straight ahead. It's reasonable for humans to flee towards the Jia Ma Empire, isn't it?

After doing all this, Yun Tianming spread his Dark Feather Wings and turned to fly in another direction.

"???"

"Why are there three traces of Heavenly Flame's aura?"

A hint of confusion flashed in the pale purple noble snake pupils. Magic Beasts possess incredibly powerful physical bodies, but their souls are their weak points. Although the Soul Power of the Snake People Tribe is stronger than that of ordinary Magic Beasts, it's not exceptionally high. Despite Queen Medusa's current strength approaching that of a Dou Ancestor, she was still struggling in the field of Soul Perception.

"Crafty humans!"

"Don't think you can escape from my grasp like this!"

The massive snake body once again emitted a dazzling purple light, then split into two smaller snake bodies, each heading in a different direction to pursue!

"A snake spirit clone? How troublesome."

"Unfortunately, you guessed wrong, Your Majesty."

Yun Tianming smirked, revealing a victorious smile.

In Soul Perception, Queen Medusa's true Magic Beast form pursued the direction of the Fire Lotus seed, while one of the snake spirit clones chased after the Sixth Rank Magic Beast core. The last snake spirit clone was the one heading towards him.
