Therefore, Queen Medusa had a slight control over the Samadhi Fire, and she used this slight control to first merge it with her soul.
As the Samadhi Fire forged the soul, it then slowly began to forge Medusa Queen's body as well.
Queen Medusa's condition worsened, and her frantic screams echoed out. It was hard to believe the intense pain she was enduring.
In the distance, Guhe was gazing at the Samadhi Divine Fire, head bowed in deep thought. After a long while, Guhe shook his head, still unable to recall what the flame was.
"I've never heard of or seen the Samadhi Divine Fire before. Its power is comparable to the top three on the Strange Fire Ranking," Gu He said solemnly.
Below Queen Medusa, a sand dune had long since melted, forming a liquid lake that was dyed gold by the firelight.
Yun Yun shook her head and said, "I've never heard of it either."
Within the golden flames, Queen Medusa's shrill screams, which had been high-pitched for nearly half an hour, gradually began to weaken.
At this moment, perhaps because its power had been exhausted, the purple serpent's enormous body had almost stopped rolling. Its body, which was once covered with beautiful purple scales, was now charred black.
A body that was over ten zhang long was burned down to only two or three zhang. It's unimaginable how many bones and blood were destroyed by the strange fire within this body.
Within the golden flames, Queen Medusa lay motionless, allowing the Samadhi Fire to continuously burn upon her body.
A faint, burnt smell slowly wafted out.
"Failed?" Yun Yun looked at Queen Medusa, who had become still in the Samadhi Divine Fire, and sighed softly for no apparent reason.
After a brief silence, he bowed slightly towards the location of the latter.
Although she was equally proud and aloof, she felt she deserved considerable respect for this king who had the courage to be consumed by strange flames in order to evolve.
"Sigh," Gu He sighed softly. Had this powerful Medusa Queen fallen so tragically? It was quite dramatic.
As Queen Medusa's screams faded away, the entire city gradually fell into a deathly silence. After a moment, pairs of hateful gazes shifted to Guhe and the man in black robes in mid-air.
Yun Yun ignored those gazes and stared calmly at the Samadhi Divine Fire in the distance. After a moment, Yun Yun frowned slightly.
Looking at the sky, which had suddenly darkened considerably, he remained silent for a moment before saying gravely, "Something's not right."
"What's wrong?" Upon hearing this, Gu He's expression tightened, and he hurriedly asked.
"The energy of heaven and earth has suddenly surged." Yun Yun, the woman in black robes, looked at the sky and said softly.
The once clear sky suddenly darkened, as clusters of dark clouds, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, slowly enveloped the sky.
The sudden change left everyone staring in astonishment at the strange phenomenon in the sky, their faces full of confusion.
"Boom!" A thunderous roar suddenly echoed from within the dark clouds, and silver lightning bolts darted about wildly within them, like long silver snakes.
"What's going on?" Sensing the violent energy contained within the dark clouds, Gu He swallowed hard and asked dryly.
Yun Yun stared intently at the dark clouds in the sky and said in a deep voice, "I once read an ancient book that recorded that it should have been caused by Queen Medusa."
"Not bad, not bad, it's about to succeed, but it seems that this lightning tribulation poses no threat to Medusa at all."
"In that case, Medusa could never have lost her memory due to being struck by lightning, thus preventing Xiao Yan from..."
After finishing the last pig's head, Lin Qing wiped his mouth and hands, and with a sudden flash, appeared above Queen Medusa.
Because Lin Qing concealed his presence, no one discovered his existence.
Just as Guhe and the others were discussing and about to look up, a huge roar came from the dark clouds above their heads.
Just then, Lin Qing raised his right hand and released a wisp of his lightning power towards the silver lightning bolt that was about to strike down.
In an instant, the world brightened, and a huge bolt of silver-blue lightning shot down from the clouds, finally crashing into the ball of golden flames.
The thunder came quickly and went even faster. Before the thunderous roar in everyone's ears had completely dissipated, the dark clouds in the sky began to recede rapidly, and a moment later, the scorching sun once again enveloped the city.
The roar in their ears gradually subsided, and countless people hurriedly turned their gazes to the golden flames.
However, after the lightning struck earlier, a faint golden mist seeped out from it, obscuring everyone's view.
"The cyan mist is what was released from the collision between the lightning and the strange fire earlier. Soul power cannot penetrate it, and the situation inside has been completely isolated."
Gu He scanned the light screen with his soul perception, shook his head, and frowned.
"Wait for it to dissipate," the man in black said calmly.
Gu He nodded, but his fighting spirit began to surge within him, ready to retreat at any moment.
"What terrifying lightning!"
As Xiao Yan got up from the ground, he looked at the desert that had disappeared, revealing charred rocks, and couldn't help but gasp.
The golden mist gradually spread out, while the Samadhi Fire began to slowly weaken.
Suddenly, as if injected with a force, the Samadhi Divine Fire suddenly surged and instantly covered an area of several hundred meters in radius.

The commotion startled the people in the distance, who hurriedly retreated a distance in a panic.
Just as Xiao Yan was about to leave, Yao Chen said, "Quick, go in and see what's going on."
"The fog will prevent them from spotting us, and the Samadhi Fire cannot harm us."
"As for Medusa, regardless of whether she succeeds or not, with your master's presence as a deterrent, she will absolutely not harm you."
"Okay." Xiao Yan nodded in response, glanced around for a while, and then secretly sank into the sand.
As the golden mist spread, it enveloped Xiao Yan in less than half a minute.
This time, he stopped walking under the sand and broke through it, heading straight for the Samadhi Fire inside.
As they drew closer, the temperature rose higher and higher. Xiao Yan stopped resisting and summoned the Samadhi Divine Fire to completely cover his body.
Before long, he saw the Samadhi Divine Flame. Without hesitation, Xiao Yan plunged into it.
When you enter the Samadhi Fire, there is a space about ten meters in diameter inside. There is not a single flame inside, and the temperature is not high.
"Huh? There's no fire inside?" Xiao Yan slowly extinguished the flames on his body.
"Did it fail?" Looking at the giant snake that had shrunk considerably and was now horribly burned, Xiao Yan sighed softly. Had a generation of Dou Huang powerhouse vanished into thin air just like that?
"Sigh, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame is gone. Oh well, I'll still help you collect your body!" Shaking his head slightly, Xiao Yan walked to the giant snake's corpse.
Just as they were about to make a move, a slight cracking sound suddenly came from inside the giant snake.
Upon hearing this sudden sound, Xiao Yan's body trembled violently. He looked towards the source of the sound, and his pupils instantly shrank to the size of pinholes.
Under Xiao Yan's gaze, the charred skin on the stiff, limp corpse of the giant snake slowly peeled off...
The rate of detachment gradually increased, and in the end, Xiao Yan seemed to be able to vaguely see something about to break out of the giant snake's corpse.
"Teacher, what's going on?" Xiao Yan cautiously took a few steps back, asking anxiously in his heart.
"An aura is beginning to emerge from within the giant serpent's body again," Yao Lao's voice now carried a hint of solemnity.
"She successfully evolved?" Xiao Yan asked with a hint of surprise in his voice, his pupils slightly contracting.
"...I think so, be careful." The old apothecary was also a little unclear about what was going on, so his answer was somewhat vague.
"I hope it really works out, after all," Xiao Yan for some reason really hoped that Medusa would succeed.
"Be careful!" Before Xiao Yan could finish speaking, Yao Lao's urgent shout suddenly rang in his mind.
Just as Yao Lao's shout rang out, Xiao Yan's heart tightened suddenly, his expression changed slightly, and he lightly touched the ground with his toes, retreating rapidly.
"Bang!" As Xiao Yan retreated hastily, the giant snake corpse on the ground suddenly exploded, its black scales flying everywhere, and a section of the corpse instantly turned into powder.
The instant the giant snake's corpse turned to dust, a vast and terrifying aura suddenly burst forth, rapidly enveloping the city at an alarming speed.
"Her Majesty succeeded?" A faint sense of familiarity crept into the aura.
Throughout the city, countless snake people looked at each other in bewilderment, then their faces lit up with wild joy, and their earth-shattering cheers resounded through the sky.
The moment this vast aura erupted, Gu He, who was outside the golden mist, suddenly changed his expression. At the same time, his body retreated nearly dozens of meters almost uncontrollably.
As he retreated hastily, Gu He, his face grim, shouted at Yun Yun, who stood motionless in mid-air, "Run! Queen Medusa has successfully evolved!"
"Don't panic!" Yun Yun remained calm despite the terrifying aura, because she sensed something was wrong with it.
Sure enough, in just over ten seconds, the aura receded rapidly into the golden mist like a tide.
As the aura dissipated once more, the jubilation in the city abruptly ceased. All the snake people were stunned, their hearts filled with trepidation and anticipation.
Although the aura was extremely terrifying, Xiao Yan did not flee. He simply stood in the flames, on guard.
Black dust gradually fell down, and in a sudden moment, a seven-colored light suddenly shot out from the mist and attacked Xiao Yan.
Its speed was like that of light and shadow, almost piercing through the barriers of space, so fast that it caught people off guard.
"What the hell is that thing? Damn, it's so fast!" Even though Xiao Yan wanted to dodge, the speed of the seven-colored thing was truly terrifying.
The battle qi within his body had just been activated when the sharp sound of wind being cut by the seven-colored light and shadow rang in his ears.
"Bang..." At the critical moment, Xiao Yan's Samadhi Divine Fire suddenly rose from his body, and the scorching temperature caused the surrounding air to distort and twist.
"Bang!" The seven-colored light and shadow crashed headfirst into the flames, which acted as a protective shield.
Knowing it couldn't get any further, the seven-colored light and shadow slowly retreated a short distance, finally exposing its body.
When Xiao Yan looked at the creature that appeared in front of him, his fear turned into stunned astonishment, which was quite a sight to behold.
The creature that appeared in front of Xiao Yan was a slender snake that was only about two centimeters long, and its body was covered with tiny, colorful scales.
Its pale purple snake eyes exuded a faint eerie feeling, and a strange, fresh fragrance lingered around its body. Although it was currently only a snake, it still radiated elegance and nobility.
Moreover, being surrounded by the Samadhi Fire, one is completely unaffected by the flames, instead feeling as free and comfortable as a fish swimming in water.
Feeling the terrifying power contained within the seven-colored snake, he murmured to himself, "Teacher, is it Queen Medusa?"
"Hmm," the old medicine master nodded in a low voice, exhaled softly, and murmured:
"Its body is seven-colored, its pupils are slightly purple, its body is fragrant, and its power reaches the heavens... I never imagined that Queen Medusa's so-called evolution was actually the evolution of her soul, breaking away from her original body and using the power of her soul to condense into a truly new body."
"Then what is she evolving into now?" Xiao Yan asked nervously.
"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, the little snake in front of us is the legendary Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python... and also Queen Medusa's new body," said the old apothecary.
"That doesn't make sense either. If he were Queen Medusa, why would he..."
