BTTH: From Genius to Invincible

Chapter 112: Chapter 112: The Thing You'll Regret Most in This Life (2 in 1)



"Despicable humans! How dare you attack our tribe's Holy City! Medusa Snake Guards!" Yue Mei's pretty face turned cold as she turned her head and shouted.

"Yes!" A uniform and icy response rang out. Immediately, over a dozen figures used the height of the city walls to their advantage and surrounded Gu He in the blink of an eye.

The four peak Dou Spirits from the Misty Cloud Sect all made their moves to defend against the attack.

Gu He's face drastically changed as he said to Queen Medusa, "Your Majesty, please hear my explanation."

Yun Yun suddenly stretched out her hand to stop Gu He and said in a deep voice, "She has already left. That's just an energy projection."

!!! Only after hearing this did Gu He dare to sweep his Spiritual Strength over Queen Medusa, and indeed found that this was only an energy projection, not her real body.

"Gu He, it's clear that a third party is involved in this matter, deliberately making things chaotic in an attempt to shift the blame." Walking Wind Feng Li looked at the continuous explosions in the Mei Snake Tribe and the raging flames in the Holy City not far away. He roughly guessed what was happening.

There was indeed a third party, and this third party was sowing discord by constantly attacking the Snake-People Tribe to pin the blame on them and divert the Snake-People's attention.

"Just who is it?!" Gu He gritted his teeth. He had spent over half a year and a significant amount of resources to obtain a Body Transformation Pill through his connections with the Alchemist Association, all with the sole intention of negotiating with Queen Medusa.

He never expected a third party to suddenly appear and muddy the waters. Even if it was proven that his side wasn't responsible in the end, Queen Medusa would no longer be willing to make a deal with him.

"But this isn't necessarily a bad thing," Feng Li suddenly said.

"Huh? Old Feng, what do you mean?" Gu He hurriedly asked.

"Water that is too clear has no fish. If you want to catch fish, you can only do so in muddy waters." Feng Li narrowed his eyes. Gu He's heart suddenly trembled with realization.

Feng Li's suggestion was to make things even more chaotic and seize the opportunity to snatch the prize! If negotiations were off the table, they could just steal the Heavenly Flame directly and then hide in the Jia Ma Empire! He would still have a Body Transformation Pill left over!

"Now that a third party is involved, the Snake-People Tribe may not be able to handle so many issues at once. Moreover, you know why Medusa needs the Heavenly Flame from what Hai Bodong said. She might not even be willing to trade with you. If you really want the Heavenly Flame, the best method is still..." Feng Li made a throat-slitting gesture as he spoke slowly.

Gu He looked at Yun Yun beside him, who calmly replied, "I can open a path for you. Whether or not you can snatch the Heavenly Flame amidst this chaos will depend on your own luck."

Gu He slightly furrowed his brows and fell into contemplation for a moment before nodding with a solemn expression.

He wasn't the type to dither. When it was time to be decisive, he definitely wouldn't let a fleeting opportunity slip away due to some trivial questions of morality.

If they were going to snatch it, then so be it. Who's afraid of whom?!

"Old Shi, Feng Li, help me hold off the two tribe leaders. Regardless of success or failure this time, I will refine a Dou King Pill for each of you!" Gu He waved his hand, sending out a blue flame that covered the sky, and said in a deep voice.

Yan Shi flashed a wide grin, baring his teeth. "Hehehe, you alchemists really know how to get people's blood boiling with a single sentence!"

"Stop right there!" Yue Mei and the other tribe leader Mo Ba Si on the city wall immediately flashed over with grim expressions to obstruct them.

"Hehe. Your opponents are us!" Fierce air currents shot toward Yue Mei and Mo Ba Si with a whoosh.

Quickly dodging the attacking air currents, Yan Shi and Feng Li swiftly appeared in front of Yue Mei and Mo Ba Si, smiling as they intercepted them.

...

Meanwhile, Xiao Yan in the Holy City took advantage of the chaos. He transformed into a shadow and sneaked into the Snake Tribe's treasury.

Looking at the massive, thick iron door before him, he smiled and said, "Nihility Devouring Flame, devour it!"

Even though Mao Wu was currently busy setting fires all over Holy City, it had still left some Black Flame in the Acceptance Soul for Xiao Yan to use.

The Nihility Devouring Flame surged forth. The moment the thick door came into contact with the Black Flame, it visibly began to be devoured. Before long, a large hole appeared before Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan walked into the treasury and looked at the three-meter-thick door that couldn't withstand the Nihility Devouring Flame for even a few seconds. He couldn't help but start pondering, 'If Mao Wu grows even more, maybe it will be able to directly devour the space itself.'

A Dou Ancestor could use some space-related techniques, but only a Dou Venerate could truly control it. However, the Nihility Devouring Flame was innately capable of doing so!

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is truly worthy of being the treasury of a Magical Beast Tribe," Xiao Yan murmured as he looked at the piles of gold, silver, and jewels in front of him.

Weapons, magical beast bones, pill recipes, Qi Methods, Dou Technique scrolls... The shelves were packed full of them.

However, as an alchemist, none of these things held any allure for Xiao Yan. His eyes were only drawn to the precious medicinal ingredients!

"Good boy, the Body Transformation Grass used to refine the Body Transformation Pill! It seems Queen Medusa also planned to have someone refine the Body Transformation Pill for

her!"

"Sand Datura, might as well take this too."

"Monster Cores from Rank 5 magical beasts, and so many of them!"

Xiao Yan rushed to the depths of the treasury like a mouse in a rice jar. There were simply too many medicinal ingredients in a tribe's treasury. He knew that his time was limited, so he didn't aim to take a large quantity, only the most valuable items.

'They're coming. What a pity I only took a third.' Xiao Yan had a look of regret on his face. He sensed a large number of Snake-People heading this way and gave up on the idea of continuing his 'zero-gold-coin shopping spree'. He swiftly flew out of the treasury. However, even that third was enough to drive any 5th-tier alchemist mad with envy.

He had only come here to shop along the way. His true goal wasn't the medicinal ingredients in the treasury, but the Green Lotus Core Flame in Queen Medusa's chamber. 'Now that things are this chaotic, I refuse to believe you won't try to devour the Heavenly Flame to evolve.' A glint flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes, and the smile on his face was filled with confidence. It was as if everything happening now was going exactly according to his plan. He looked at the Ten Thousand Beast Flame in his hand. Queen Medusa was quite clever. She had divided the Heavenly Flame into four auras and placed them in four different locations. Even the spiritual perception could be deceived. However, he possessed a genuine Heavenly

Flame.

Heavenly Flames inherently had a special connection with each other. With his own Heavenly Flame, he could easily pinpoint where the real Green Lotus Core Flame was. However, even without a Heavenly Flame, Xiao Yan could have guessed the real Green Lotus Core Flame's location. Given Queen Medusa's personality, how could she possibly entrust something as important as the Green Lotus Core Flame to someone else? It could only be in

her own chamber.

Xiao Yan flew straight ahead. The Dou Grandmaster guards he encountered along the way couldn't withstand a single punch from him. Even when he ran into Medusa Snake Guards at the Dou Spirit realm, Xiao Yan, erupting with the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, still had the

upper hand.

He continued to break through one obstacle after another, darting around the palace in the Holy City for nearly ten minutes before his vision suddenly opened up.

A stunningly beautiful chamber appeared before his eyes. In the center was a small, clear lake, shimmering like an island amid rippling waters. Beautiful plants were arranged all around, creating a serene atmosphere. In the deepest part of the chamber was a large bed on which a

purple snake tail was writhing.

'That's Queen Medusa!!'

At this moment, Queen Medusa was wearing a luxurious and expensive purple silk nightgown that clung to her graceful and delicate figure. Beneath the sheer nightgown that revealed glimpses of skin was a full and explosive curvaceous body, exuding a bewitching temptation. A section of her purple snake tail was exposed below the purple nightgown, swaying lazily and exuding a wild and exotic charm.

She was an absolute stunner who could make men lose their minds, a femme fatale that any man would want to embrace and possess at first sight.

'No wonder Queen Medusa's beauty is renowned across several empires; her reputation is

truly well-deserved.' Just a single glance from Xiao Yan was enough to send his imagination running wild. One could easily imagine how breathtaking Queen Medusa's beauty was.

Especially the way she lazily lay on the bed, her snake tail gently swaying... It made one's heart itch with unbearable desire.

Even Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh in amazement. She was simply too alluring. That enchanting face and devilish figure, this was absolutely the dream lover in every man's heart!

The current Queen Medusa seemed oblivious to Xiao Yan peering from the shadows. Her beautiful eyes were fixated on a green flame, and in the reflection of the light, her red pupils flickered with the flame's rhythmic motion.

Xiao Yan suppressed the other thoughts in his heart. For a determined man like him, a Heavenly Flame was far more important than any beauty.

"Sigh, it's been dragging on for half a year now. It's about time," Medusa mused, her languid

eyes glancing out the window.

Currently, the entire Holy City was filled with flames, and the nearby Mei Snake Tribe was

engaged in continuous battles. Yun Yun had already cleared a path, and Gu He was flying toward one of the fake Heavenly Flame locations.

Medusa didn't care at all about how the Holy City was being destroyed or whether the treasury

had been looted. Because for Medusa, her existence was the meaning of the Holy City's existence. Even if the city were destroyed, it would mean nothing to her.

She made a hand seal, and with a wave, the Green Lotus Core Flame slowly floated into her

palm. Then she slowly stepped down from the bed, carrying the Green Lotus Core Flame as she walked toward a huge bath beside her.

The bath was filled with crystal-clear liquid, wisps of white mist curling above the surface. Even from a great distance, Xiao Yan could feel the extreme cold emanating from it.

'No wonder Hun Lao Gui said the Ice Spirit Cold Fountain isn't sold by the bottle. There's a

whole bath filled with it!'

It was no wonder the people from Hall of Souls looked down on the Ice Spirit Cold Fountain. It filled a small pool here. One could imagine that as long as someone reached a certain level of strength, they could easily obtain it. It wasn't an overly precious item.

Queen Medusa walked to the edge of the bath and pondered for a moment. She lightly bit her red lips as if making a decision. Her jade-like hands slowly undid the buttons of her nightgown, and in an instant, a flawless, heaven-crafted body was exposed to the air. Especially that waist, a slender willow-like waist that looked as if it could be held with one

hand. It appeared slim yet exuded a sense of suppleness. No wonder people often said she had the face of an angel, the body of a devil, and the waist of a snake. It truly was no exaggeration!

Xiao Yan felt his blood surging upon seeing this alluring scene. He even caught a whiff of a sweet fragrance! Medusa was naturally endowed with a seductive scent, a bodily fragrance that was undoubtedly intoxicating.

He bit his tongue until it bled to quell the flames of desire in his heart. He was just one step

away from obtaining the Green Lotus Core Flame. He absolutely could not let such matters ruin this crucial moment!

A sharp, shrill hiss emanated from Queen Medusa's throat. Her body standing in the pool of Ice Spirit Cold Fountain emitted a dazzling, powerful light.

The ceiling of the chamber shattered with a thunderous boom. After which, a Quiet Purple Flame Serpent over a hundred feet long appeared and hovered in the air.

Even the people in the Mei Snake Tribe could clearly see the massive serpent's silhouette.

Yun Yun observed the enormous serpent silhouette and the surge of the Heavenly Flame's aura. She calmly said, "It seems she's about to begin her evolution."

"Damn humans! Once Her Majesty successfully evolves, all of you will die!" Yue Mei roared

furiously as she clutched her wound.

Yun Yun sneered coldly and looked down at Yue Mei. "If she fails, your Snake-People Tribe

will face annihilation."

Medusa circled a few times in the sky above before letting out a clear, low cry.

Then, she dove headfirst into the cluster of green flames without any hesitation. The giant purple serpent instantly shot downward under Xiao Yan's intense gaze. Without a moment's delay, she plunged into the Green Lotus Core Flame in a frantic manner.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!!! Immediately, Medusa's shrill screams of agony rang out from within the

Green Lotus Core Flame.

'Using the Heavenly Flame to temper her body and activate the ancient bloodline within her is

indeed a clever method. If she had used the Ten Thousand Beast Flame or the Bone Chilling Flame with its extreme coldness, the success rate would likely be even higher.' Seeing Medusa plunge into the Heavenly Flame, intending to use it to temper her body and

activate her bloodline to evolve, Xiao Yan no longer concealed himself and emerged from the shadows.

With a loud bang, his entire body, including his flesh, bones, and skin, was instantly filled with the Ten Thousand Beast Flame. His muscles swelled, and a pair of blood-red beast

pupils appeared. The illusory figure of the Eight-Winged Flame Demon Tiger enveloped him, and eight wings sprouted from his back.

Ten Thousand Beast Flame-Full Beast Transformation!

Xiao Yan approached the Green Lotus Core Flame step by step and calmly said, "Even with the

Soul Robe, you should have noticed my presence a long time ago, given your sensitivity to

air."

"But you didn't make a move against me. You couldn't have thought a mere Dou Grandmaster fly wasn't worth your effort, right?"

Xiao Yan had prepared a backup plan to escape far away if Medusa attacked him, but he hadn't

expected her to be so arrogant.

The Green Lotus Core Flame had already been provoked into a frenzy by Queen Medusa. Anything that approached within a certain range would be burned into nothingness. The small pool filled with Ice Spirit Cold Fountain was rapidly evaporating. Even its coldness

couldn't withstand the heat.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Not slapping me to death right away is the thing you'll regret the most in this life."

Xiao Yan removed his hood, revealing a youthful and confident face. A mass of black flames

erupted from his body the moment his words fell. The Nihility Devouring Flame and the Ten

Thousand Beast Flame instantly merged, forming a special kind of flame that enveloped him entirely.

He executed the Exploding Steps, and with a resounding boom, propelled himself like an arrow straight into the raging Green Lotus Core Flame!

Xiao Yan planned to snatch the Green Lotus Core Flame from Queen Medusa through sheer

force! The terrifying green flames pounced toward the approaching Xiao Yan. However, when the green flames touched the flames that had merged with the Nihility Devouring Flame, a large portion of them were devoured. The remaining green flames were isolated by the Ten Thousand Beast Flame.

As he rushed into the Green Lotus Core Flame, Xiao Yan saw that the once hundred-foot-long giant serpent had already been reduced to a mere thirty feet by the searing flames! The

Essence Flame of the Green Lotus Core Flame had already been swallowed by the purple giant serpent.

The fact that Medusa had swallowed the Essence Flame weakened the flames, giving Xiao Yan an opening to charge in as well.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!!! The charred and tattered purple serpent roared furiously at Xiao Yan. She now regretted not slapping him to death when she had the chance.

Medusa never imagined that a Dou Grandmaster could actually charge into the frenzied

Heavenly Flame. Even more unthinkable was that Xiao Yan possessed both the Nihility Devouring Flame and the Ten Thousand Beast Flame!

"That's not enough! That's not enough for you to regret!" Xiao Yan took a step forward and

the Heavy Xuan Ruler appeared in his hand. He swung the ruler and smashed it directly toward the purple giant serpent's head.

The blow landed with a resounding thud, but even though Medusa needed to suppress the

Essence Flame within her body, she was still countless times stronger than Xiao Yan. His attack had no effect whatsoever.

Xiao Yan stared at the giant serpent before him, his figure reflected in those serpent eyes.

A smug smile appeared on his face as he looked at his reflection in those serpent eyes. "The physical body of a magical beast is indeed formidable. But unfortunately for you, I don't just

rely on Dou Techniques to attack. I also know Soul Skills."

"Soul Impact!!!"
