Battle Through The Heavens: Domination of The Ancient God.

The following day, everyone living in the Rock Desert City woke up like always without the slightest hint that a frightening existence like Queen Medusa entered the city and left. Not even the Dou King rank experts guarding the city found about her visit. 

Medusa lowered her eyes, a faint reddish glow in them, and stared at Rock Desert City for a while. In the end, she seemed to have made up her mind and flew away as the wings behind her back flapped. 

Medusa didn't have the advantage like alchemists, familiar with fire-type dou qi. She could only look for the heavenly flame the old-fashioned way. Before her encounter with the white egg, she searched the north region of the Tager desert. 

This time, she intended to explore the southern region. After flying for a while, Medusa saw yellow sand and entered the familiar territory. 

The easiest way to locate a heavenly flame is to look for something unusual in the area, setting it apart from its surroundings. So Medusa flew above the desert and started scanning the site.

To preserve her dou qi, Medusa didn't protect herself from the hot wind raging in the desert. Even for a strong Dou Emperor such as herself, it was difficult not to get affected by such a harsh climate after staying for a long time. 

Fortunately, her physique was better than most Dou Emperors in the same realm. So she could resist for a longer time. 

After an unsuccessful day of searching, Medusa stopped near a cave. She scanned with her mental strength and decided to rest here. Unfortunately, the winds became chilly opposite the day, and the temperature dropped below zero. 

'Sigh!' She looked at the bright moon hanging in the sky and let out a breath. Medusa wasn't disheartened that her today's efforts were futile. Instead, the recent events slightly changed the way she thought. 

After resting for a few hours, Medusa flicked her hand, and a white egg with golden patterns all over its shell appeared out of thin air. Even now, she didn't stop studying the patterns. 

As she observed the egg, a trace of surprise appeared in her eyes. The golden pattern seemed to have grown, and the young man's silhouette within the egg became more visible. 

She had an intuition that the young man's transformation inside the egg had reached a critical point, and soon he would burst out of it. 

At this moment, the egg shook slightly, and the golden patterns brightened. Then, the surrounding temperature rose sharply. Soon, a green-golden flame covered the eggshell. 

Beads of sweat formed on Medusa's forehead as she took a few steps back. There was a trace of surprise, shock, and fear in her eyes. She sensed threat from the green-golden flame covering the egg. 

'Heavenly flame?' An absurd idea appeared in her mind, but Medusa suppressed her thoughts the next moment. The energy contained within the green-golden fire did not match the description of the heavenly flame. 

Medusa remained still and chose to observe. She didn't want to risk it at this juncture. Not long after, she got the answer she was looking for. 

The ground below reacted to the flame, and a gust of hot air blew out from below. Even an average person would find it surprising, not to mention the one present here was Queen Medusa, a peak Dou Emperor. 

Immediately, she connected the dots, and a rare smile appeared on her lovely face. Medusa's pupils glowed with a brilliant red light. She muttered, "So, it was here all along." 

'No wonder, I never found its trace before,' She thought in her mind. 

In a few seconds, the green-golden flame burned the layer of the sand, and a passage appeared beneath it. 

Medusa's dou qi fluctuated violently after she saw the dark passage. The tiniest bit of doubt in her mind as she sensed a rich amount of fire-type qi within the route. 

She exhaled a deep breath, controlled her inner excitement, and regained her composure. A layer of reddish dou qi enveloped her lovely body, and she slowly moved forward. Fortunately, Medusa did not forget to take the egg with her. 

A pair of red dou qi wings appeared on her back as Medusa jumped forward. She slowly went down and used her dou qi to create a path forward. After descending, ten or more tunnels appeared in front of her. 

'A serpent?' A thought emerged in her mind as Medusa glanced at the smooth tunnels. The disdain in her eyes was self-explanatory. Because of her special bloodline, Medusa swiftly found the correct tunnel. 

......

As she entered the tunnel, a rich fire-type qi surrounded her. As she moved forward, the flame-type qi became denser. Yet, there was no expression on her face. 

Cold energy from her bloodline covered her body, preventing the flame-type qi from invading. Furthermore, the egg began swallowing the energy from the surroundings. 

Soon, she reached the end of the tunnel, and a magma pool appeared in front of her. Medusa raised her eyebrows as she sensed the presence of the serpent within the magma. 

Medusa's face became indifferent after she probed its strength. The next instant, her physique began to enlarge and a frightful pressure radiated from her body. 

The next moment, a gigantic, colorful python appeared in her position. The pressure radiating from her body scared all other serpents in the vicinity. 

The colorful python flew above the magma pool. Then, a decisive color flashed in its glowing eyes, and it jumped into the boiling magma. A multicolored dou qi enveloped the python's body to protect it from the magma's rising temperature and flame-poisoning. 

As it continued to descend, a solemn expression appeared in the glowing eyes of the python. If it weren't for the green-golden flame surrounding the egg to form a barrier, she might have to return empty-handed.

Soon, she entered the inner region of the lake, and there was a tinge of green color in red magma. Then, as she got closer to the core region, the color of magma changed from red to light green. 

She stopped near the green-colored region; her primal instincts stopped her from moving forward. Instead, her big multicolored eyes stared at the lotus at the heart of the green-colored area. 

'Hiss!' The python let out a hiss and swam forward. As it approached the green lotus, the surrounding temperature increased, and it penetrated through the python's dou qi barrier. 

The python let out a hiss in agony; the surrounding flame began grilling its body. Multicolored scales fell off its body. The white egg beside it began to shake violently. 

The egg freed itself and rushed towards the green lotus as a hunter looking at his prey.
