Chapter 141: Xiao Yan arrives at Imperial Capital!

Five Snake Poison Breaking Seal! The fusion Dou Technique of the Snake People Tribe, jointly launched by five Dou Kings, can temporarily possess the power to rival that of a Dou Emperor!

However, relying on the Earth Rank Mid Level Flame Mantra Qi Method, combined with multiple Earth Rank Dou Techniques, Yun Tianming's normal state already possesses combat power comparable to that of a Dou Emperor!

"Hiss~"

A huge green snake formed by the condensation of Dou Qi from five Dou Kings emits a suffocating stench, causing dizziness and vertigo with just one whiff, accompanied by intense toxins.

"Unfortunately, my Heavenly Flame happens to be a natural counter to poison!"

The lake-blue flame rose from within Yun Tianming's body, supported by an endless stream of Dou Qi. The flame quickly grew until it engulfed the sky, rushing towards the huge green snake like waves crashing against the shore!

The massive dark green energy serpent, upon contact with the sweeping lake-blue flame, began to dissipate rapidly, like residual snow meeting intense sunlight. In just the blink of an eye, the ferocious giant snake roaring through the sky was reduced to nothingness by the burning flame!

"Puchi!"

"Puchi!"

"Puchi!"

"Puchi!"

"Puchi!"

The joint Dou Technique was broken, and all five leaders of the Snake People spewed blood, suffering a certain backlash.

"So frightening, this Heavenly Flame!"

Yue Mei and Hua She'er widened their eyes, feeling fortunate that they hadn't stood against Yun Tianming.

"That's why I said, you can't stop me."*

Waving his hand to retract the raging flames before him, Yun Tianming appeared nonchalant, as if he were merely tidying up a group of small fry, completely disregarding the leaders of the Snake People before him.

"You!!"

The leaders of the Snake People were filled with shock and anger, but none dared to speak up in retort. After all, the facts were plain to see; there was nothing to say when one's skills fell short.

"Well then, farewell, Snake People Tribe."

"Rest assured, I will treat your queen well."

Yun Tianming spread his Dark Feather Wings and calmly flew towards the horizon.

"Elder!"

"Enough. This man has passed the test, and his strength is sufficient to ensure the safety of our queen."

"Elder, does this mean you didn't intend to intercept Mister Yun from the beginning?"

Hua She'er asked, looking astonished.

"Yes, this young man possesses such strength at such a young age, and he's also an Alchemist. His future is immeasurable."

"Currently, Her Majesty the Queen has evolved into the legendary Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python. Her bloodline has far surpassed that of all previous Queen Medusas. To be honest, with the meager resources of our Snake People Tribe, it is insufficient to support the growth of Her Majesty."

In Yin Shi's deep gaze gleamed the cunning of an old schemer: "In that case, why don't we make use of this human, to give Her Majesty more opportunities."

"I see! Elder, you truly have a keen strategy!"

The various leaders nodded in agreement. Only through confrontation did they realize that the other party, be it in Qi Method, Dou Technique, or Pills, far surpassed them.

"Um,"

Yue Mei opened her mouth, wanting to ask, what if there's a possibility that Yun Tianming might just take away their queen directly?

---

"Is this Jia Ma Sacred City? It's indeed much more bustling than Wu Tan City, just as I expected."

A figure in a black robe entered the city gates, lifting the hood to reveal a handsome young face. This person was none other than Xiao Yan, the youth from Wu Tan City!

"Go register at the Alchemist Guild for the competition first."

The voice of Old Yao echoed in his mind.

"Teacher, should I conceal my identity?"

Xiao Yan asked.

"Why hide your identity? Being an Alchemist isn't something shameful, you know?"

Old Yao responded without words.

"Um,"

Xiao Yan scratched his head awkwardly, smiling sheepishly. As a transmigrator, he was used to acting like a tiger in sheep's clothing, wasn't this just basic?

"Being an Alchemist is a respected profession, no need to hide your head and show your tail."

"Back in the day, I was the champion of the Pill Tower Alchemist Competition. You are my direct disciple, Yao Chen's disciple. In this small-scale Alchemist event, you must win the championship for me!"

Old Yao's words were full of pride, and he earnestly advised, "Moreover, winning the championship at this Alchemist competition will also be beneficial for the next three years of your agreement."

"I... I understand."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh deeply. Half a year ago, he went to the Tager Desert in search of the Heavenly Flame. After finally locating its position, all he found beneath the lava was a root, nothing more. Later, he heard that the Heavenly Flame had been obtained by Queen Medusa. 

Gu He gathered a group of strong individuals to snatch the Heavenly Flame, and Xiao Yan had initially planned to take advantage of the situation. However, seeing Gu He and his group fleeing in embarrassment, even the Dou Emperor among them fell into trouble.

"There's nothing to be done about it. Queen Medusa's strength is already halfway into the Dou Ancestor realm. Even I am not her match, let alone you."

Yao Chen said helplessly. The Heavenly Flame located in the Tager Desert had been sensed by him many years ago, but he never had the opportunity to search for it. He never imagined that someone else would beat him to it.

"But don't be too disheartened. Mastering the Beast Flame of a Seventh Rank Magic Beast is also a great opportunity."

During their training in the Magic Beast Mountains, they happened upon a Seventh Rank Magic Beast in labor: the Volcanic Dragon. Taking advantage of the latter's weakest state just after giving birth, Xiao Yan decisively took control, transforming into a Dou Emperor powerhouse. He injected the Chilling Bone Flame into the Flame Devouring Wave Ruler, an Earth Rank Low-Level Dou Technique, dealing a fatal blow to the Volcanic Dragon!

"By the way, that Dragon Soul Curse won't bring me any trouble, will it?"

Xiao Yan remembered that before the Volcanic Dragon died, it attached a curse mark to him at the cost of burning its own soul.

"That's a Soul curse emitted by dragons when they're in distress. When a fellow dragon approaches, they'll sense that you've taken a dragon's life. It seems there's indeed a trace of the distant bloodline of the Ancient Void Dragons in the Volcanic Dragon. It's quite true."

"Ancient Void Dragon?! Isn't that the strongest Magic Beast in the legend of the Dou Qi Continent?"

Xiao Yan looked terrified.

"Calm down, what's there to panic about? In my era, the Ancient Void Dragons had already disappeared from the Dou Qi Continent. There probably aren't many tribes left now."

Yao Chen said casually. Even in the Central Plains, it's difficult to find the trace of an Ancient Void Dragon, let alone in such a remote place like the northwest region. If an Ancient Void Dragon were to appear near the Jia Ma Empire and sense the dragon soul curse on Xiao Yan, the probability of it coming for revenge is even lower than stumbling upon a Heavenly Flame!

"I see, then there's no problem."

"Unfortunately, after mastering the Rank 7 Beast Flame, the Flame Mantra only evolved to Yellow Rank High level. With a strength of only a 3 Star Dou Master, can I win the three-year agreement with Nalan Yanran?"

Xiao Yan wore a bitter expression, truly feeling uncertain in his heart.
