"Three Flowers Gathering at the Apex, Activate!"
As Gu Changqing charged toward the radiant alchemy lightning, he unleashed his full strength.
The technique, Three Flowers Gathering at the Apex, allowed him to forcibly elevate his power by one entire realm without side effects. While this would leave him weak for some time afterward, consuming pills that replenish vitality and Dou Qi would quickly restore him, without any lasting burden on his body.
His cultivation surged from the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment to the sixth level of the Golden Core stage.
At the sixth level of the Golden Core, equivalent to a six-star Dou Ancestor, Gu Changqing was far more powerful than an ordinary Dou Ancestor due to the difference in cultivation systems. A cultivator's Foundation Establishment had a much higher potential for power, especially when one had perfected their foundation as Gu Changqing had. Blessed by the heavens and wielding the innate body of a god and demon, his strength was unmatched.
With his current level, Gu Changqing could even battle a Dou Venerate, killing across realms with ease!
Boom!
As Gu Changqing's body collided with the alchemy lightning, a massive storm of energy erupted across the sky.
"Domineering Fist, Break!"
With a thunderous shout, Gu Changqing unleashed an overwhelming force. His fist obliterated the radiant alchemy lightning, shattering the dense black clouds hanging over the holy city of the Snake-People Tribe.
"Hiss! So powerful! What kind of fist technique is this?"
"Domineering Fist... the name alone speaks for itself! Could it be Di-level Dou technique?"
"Unbelievable! He punched through the heavens!"
Within the holy city, countless members of the Snake-People Tribe stared in shock, their eyes wide with disbelief as they gazed at the massive hole torn through the sky by Gu Changqing's fist.
Ding!
At that moment, the Black Demon Cauldron emitted a muffled sound, and a purple-blue orb of light shot out, flying rapidly toward the horizon.
"You're not going anywhere!"
Queen Medusa snapped out of her daze and immediately pursued the purple-blue orb.
"Come back!"
With just a casual command from Gu Changqing, the fabric of time and space reversed. The purple-blue orb instantly halted and flew back into Gu Changqing's hand.
Bang!
A soft sound echoed as the purple-blue orb burst, transforming into a radiant, graceful figure of a goddess, draped in light. The goddess, clad in thin veils that barely concealed her snow-white, seductive figure, appeared before the crowd, her body exuding infinite allure.
"Gulp..."
Many male members of the Snake-People Tribe, having never witnessed such a sight, swallowed their saliva greedily.
"Just an illusion, yet you dare disturb my mind?"
Gu Changqing snorted coldly. With a casual grip, the goddess dissolved into wisps of purple-blue mist, dissipating into the air, leaving only a purple-blue pill in his palm.
"So, it was just an illusion!"
The male Snake-People watching were filled with disappointment.
"Hmph, fools who think with their lower halves."
Xue Mei, who stood nearby, sneered in disdain as she glanced at the disappointed male commanders of the tribe. However, her gaze quickly shifted toward Gu Changqing's tall and imposing figure in the sky, her eyes gleaming with admiration.
"What a domineering man... If I could bring him into my chambers, the pleasure would be unimaginable..."
Xue Mei licked her lips sensually, her body heating with desire. Being a Snake-Person herself, known for their innate lustfulness, Liu Mei couldn't suppress her urges when she encountered a man who stirred her.
"Did it succeed?"
Queen Medusa quickly approached Gu Changqing, her alluring, slitted eyes fixating on the purple-blue pill in his hand as she spoke with a seductive tone.
"Do you want it?"
Gu Changqing glanced at her indifferently.
"You'd really give it to me?"
Queen Medusa asked in surprise.
"Call me daddy."
Gu Changqing suddenly appeared before Queen Medusa, lifting her delicate chin with a finger and spoke calmly.
A brief flash of coldness passed through her eyes, but just as quickly, it was replaced with a sultry, enchanting smile. Her voice turned soft and electrifying as she whispered, "Daddy~~"
With that, she extended her crimson tongue and teasingly licked Gu Changqing's fingers.
"You vixen!"
Gu Changqing's face changed as his blood surged. In an instant, he scooped up Queen Medusa's mature and voluptuous body and dashed into the Medusa Temple.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Scoundrel, release our Queen!"
The eight commanders of the Snake-People Tribe, along with the captain of the snake guards, Hua She'er, shouted in anger as they charged toward the Medusa Temple.
"Scram!"
A thunderous roar echoed from within the temple. A violent surge of power swept outward, sending the commanders and Hua She'er flying.
"Stand down! Hmm..."
A cold, yet seductive voice came from within the temple, followed by an alluring moan that made everyone's heart race.
"You bastard! I'll kill you!"
Hearing their queen's intimate sounds, one of the commanders, Yan Ci, who had long harbored feelings for Queen Medusa, roared furiously and rushed toward the temple.
Clang!
At that moment, a green longsword shot out from the temple, impaling Yan Ci and pinning him to a distant stone pillar.
Thud!
Yan Ci spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with fury and helplessness as he stared toward the temple, unable to do anything.
"Yan Ci!"
"Yan Ci!"
"How are you?"
The other commanders rushed to Yan Ci's side, inspecting his injuries.
"He... He didn't kill me, but my internal organs are damaged. My ribs have been pierced. It will take years to recover..."
The commander from the Southern Snake Tribe, who was skilled in medicine, examined Yan Ci and shook his head.
"In that case, what should we do, Yin Shi?"
"Are we just going to let that human brat take our queen and...?"
"I can't stand it! I'd rather die than watch this happen!"
The commanders, furious and humiliated, gritted their teeth in anger. Seeing their revered queen being taken by a human right before their eyes was unbearable, especially since Queen Medusa was the symbol of pride for the Snake-People Tribe.
"Enough!"
Yin Shi slammed his black staff on the ground, silencing the group.
"Do you want to die? What good would that do? This may not be the worst outcome for us."
He looked around at the other commanders before glancing at the Medusa Temple and said meaningfully, "Besides, it seems our queen doesn't entirely reject him. Since that's the case, it's best we don't interfere."
Yin Shi hadn't sensed any hostility from Queen Medusa toward Gu Changqing, and she even seemed cooperative, as though she was in heat. Given these circumstances, he had no reason to intervene in what was happening between their queen and Gu Changqing.
