“If you fail, the Snake-People will be completely removed from the continent.
Have you ever thought about this?”
Upon hearing this, Queen Medusa’s expression clearly underwent a subtle change.
She stopped, turned her body, and looked at Jiang Cheng.
True…
If she failed, could the Snake-People ever escape their thousand-year predicament?
Although they could train the next Queen Medusa, it would ultimately take a lot of time and energy.
By the time they trained the next Queen, the Snake-People might have already been exterminated by their enemies.
Medusa bit her red lips and said, “So, I have entrusted my hope to you.
If I find out you are tricking this King, even if I cannot defeat you, I will let you experience the feeling of being hollowed out.”
Cough cough cough…
Jiang Cheng was not angry.
He smiled elegantly, shifting his gaze from the pendant on Queen Medusa’s chest to the pool of stagnant water before him.
A small island stood in the water, and a circle of breathtaking flame aura filled the island.
This energy was extremely violent.
If a powerhouse below the Dou Huang level touched it without protection, the death rate would be a hundred percent.
Medusa extended a slender finger, pointing to the nearby island: “The Heavenly Flame is inside.
If you have the ability to get it, this King will naturally allow you to take the Green Lotus Core Flame and leave the Snake-People.”
Jiang Cheng looked at the clear pool.
One should know that this was stagnant water, yet it was surprisingly clear.
Beneath the pool lurked a fourth-rank snake-type magical beast equivalent to the Dou Ling level.
It was like an assassin, waiting for prey to step into its circle of encirclement, its long snake tongue flicking out with a rustling sound.
At the same time, the green leaves falling on the water were turned into a pile of ash, as if they had never appeared.
A curl appeared on Queen Medusa’s lips.
Her snake tail sprang fiercely, and she jumped into the water as smoothly as a fish entering the sea.
Her eighty-some-pound body merged into it, splashing a few beautiful sprays.
The poison in the water was nothing more than light rain to Queen Medusa; it could not harm her in the slightest.
In fact, as she entered the water, the poison in the water intensified even more.
After she floated smoothly to the surface, she gave Jiang Cheng a wicked smile, “What, you don’t dare to come over?
Didn’t you say you were a Dou Sheng powerhouse?
You’re afraid of this bit of poison?”
Jiang Cheng smiled.
Since when would a man say he couldn’t? Visit g.com for the full chapter.
He took a step forward.
When his right foot touched the water’s surface, his body was actually supported by the water.
Furthermore, there were no ripples beneath him, as if Jiang Cheng’s body were lighter than a breeze.
Seeing this, Medusa also completely believed the fact that Jiang Cheng was a Dou Sheng.
Moving without leaving a trace on the water—what kind of power control method was required to achieve this?
Don’t think this situation was easy; the actual operation was as difficult as reaching the heavens.
Not only did one have to control their Dou Qi perfectly, but they also had to shield out the surrounding poison.
The fourth-rank magical beast beneath also charged fiercely toward Jiang Cheng.
However, before this beast could even get within three meters of Jiang Cheng, its body was frozen in place.
Then, with a startling bang, the body of this fourth-rank magical beast actually exploded directly, turning into a blood mist that sank to the bottom.
Seeing this, a trace of an awkward smile leaked from Queen Medusa’s lips.
This was a little pet she had raised, and it died just like that…
It didn’t even have the chance to test him; she couldn’t even see the chance for the other party to act.
Soon, Jiang Cheng smoothly crossed the toxic lake.
He nodded with a smile and said, “Now.
You can believe me, right?”
“Let me reintroduce myself.
I am Jiang Cheng, the Confucian Sage of the Academy.
People call me Sir.”
“You mean you want me to call you Sir?” Medusa never liked the feeling of being beneath others.
She immediately refused; even if the other party’s strength far surpassed her, it could not change her pride as the Queen of the Snake-People.
“As you wish.
I treat everything kindly.
However, I am only amiable to people; those who defy me will receive corresponding punishment.”
Jiang Cheng could be considered merciful enough.
If it were another person in the Dou Sheng realm, they would likely have pressed Queen Medusa beneath them immediately.
Not only the Heavenly Flame, but even she herself would belong to him.
Therefore, the title of Confucian Sage came from this.
“Is this the Heavenly Flame?”
Above the lotus, the scorching temperature shielded off all the surrounding space, thereby preventing enemies from peering into its essence.
This was the Green Lotus Core Flame, ranked nineteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.
This flame existed within the earth’s core lava, born deep within the earth.
After countless refinements, fusions, compressions, and carvings by the earth’s fire, it gained spirituality in ten years, took shape in a hundred years, and became a lotus in a thousand years.
At its completion, its color was bluish.
A cluster of blue fire grew in the center of the lotus, named Green Lotus Fire, also called Green Lotus Core Flame.
This flame’s power was unpredictable.
Near volcanic regions, it could even trigger volcanic eruptions!
It formed a destructive power of nature!
Just as Jiang Cheng was about to approach, the Green Lotus Core Flame seemed to sense an unprecedented enemy and fled frantically.
Its fire, comparable to the Dou Zong level, also erupted.
However, this bit of fire was still too weak before a Dou Sheng.
Although the Green Lotus Pedestal was not there, subduing the Heavenly Flame was not difficult.
In the face of absolute strength, any resistance was futile.
Jiang Cheng picked up the wine gourd hanging at his waist, took several large gulps, and grabbed the frantic Green Lotus Core Flame.
His invisible Dou Sheng realm also erupted.
The powerful energy instantly caused the Snake-People Tribe’s land to shake.
Houses trembled, dust rose, and a sandstorm formed.
It shook madly as if a magnitude nine earthquake had occurred, sweeping across the entire Tager Desert.
“As expected of a Heavenly Flame, actually wanting to resist.” Jiang Cheng squeezed hard.
Under the formidable power, the Heavenly Flame could only submit, trembling continuously as if crying about its state.
After subduing the Heavenly Flame, the system’s reward also arrived.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully obtaining the Green Lotus Core Flame and receiving the Yellow Class Low Level cultivation method, Flame Mantra!]
Although the Flame Mantra was only at the Yellow Class Low Level, its strangeness lay in its evolutionary nature.
The evolutionary nature meant that this cultivation method could evolve infinitely by swallowing Heavenly Flames, eventually even surpassing the Heaven Class.
This was also the only thing that could allow one to swallow all Heavenly Flames.
With it, there would be no need to fear internal conflicts when swallowing Heavenly Flames in the future.
Queen Medusa saw the Green Lotus Core Flame so stable in Jiang Cheng’s hands and was also quite moved.
Was this the true strength of a Dou Sheng powerhouse?
Even the Heavenly Flame formed by heaven and earth avoided him.
It was truly horrific.
