. Shengyu City was now completely emptied, with all the Serpent People and humans relocated to the other eight major cities.
"Pharaoh, Chief Liu has been holding out for a month. Judging from his condition, I'm afraid..."
Outside Shengyu City, Hai Bodong, who had long since returned to the Serpent People, gazed upon Liu Yu, still towering in the sky, his expression slightly heavy.
A month ago, after Liu Yu had annihilated the top forces of the three empires, he traveled through their territories and returned first, bringing with him a group of surrendered Dou Huangs and Dou Wangs to the Serpent People. These were members of the three empires who wished to join the Serpent People.
He didn't say anything at the time, simply mentioning, "The purple-robed man is the Serpent People's king," and these Dou Huangs and Dou Wangs from the three empires expressed their desire to join the Serpent People.
Hai Bodong expressed his understanding. As a "defeated general," joining a new empire was the wisest choice, clinging firmly to the strongest leg!
"Yes, these terrifying eight-colored energies are endless, Chief Liu..."
Fa Ma also sighed. The eight-colored energies that inexplicably emerged a month ago have not dissipated yet. He doesn't know why these eight-colored energies appear, but he vaguely feels that this is related to Liu Yu.
Under the eight-colored sky, Liu Yu's originally fair face began to show a sickly paleness, without any blood color. The bright red eyes were slightly dim. It was not difficult to see that Liu Yu was in a very bad state at this time!
My queen, are you still not awake? If you don't wake up, you will be a widow... Liu Yu murmured, the tingling and dizziness coming from the depths of his soul made him realize that his soul power was about to be exhausted!
While Liu Yu struggled to control the eight-colored light column to protect Little Medical Immortal from being affected, he also had to use his soul power to resist the eight-colored energy overflowing from the eight-colored sky. The drain on his soul was enormous, and even with the "Xuantian Soul Art," he couldn't withstand the toll.
If he could successfully condense Little Medical Immortal's poison pill now, his pressure would be greatly reduced. Since everyone in Shengyu City had already retreated, he wouldn't have to hold on.
As Liu Yu struggled to hold on, the energy of the eight-colored sky suddenly erupted. Endless eight-colored energy continuously converged towards the sky above Shengyu City. The area covered by the eight-colored sky was visibly shrinking, but its aura became increasingly terrifying.
Seeing this, Liu Yu felt a surge of joy, but the drain on his soul power also became immense, and the stabbing pain and fainting sensation deep in his soul became even more intense!
"Sister Yun, is the boss okay? How about we go help him?" Zi Yan's expression was solemn. She'd seen the boss hold out for a month. Even with his formidable soul power, he couldn't withstand such a drain...
Yun Yun gritted her teeth and replied helplessly, "This eight-colored energy is beyond our ability to contend with. We'll only cause him more trouble!"
Zi Yan remained silent. Sister Yun was right. With their strength, they truly couldn't handle this eight-colored energy. Especially the eight-colored light column, which held a faint aura that even she felt trembling!
"Crack, crack..."
Suddenly, a terrifying aura erupted from the eight-colored light column, forcibly breaking free from Liu Yu's soul power.
Fortunately, the eight-colored energy didn't overflow. Instead, an invisible wave of energy rippled through the space surrounding it.
"Boom!"
The eight-colored energy that had been flowing downwards suddenly stopped, then changed direction, surging upwards. A towering pillar of light with a terrifying aura shattered the eight-colored sky!
The dazzling brilliance of the shattered eight-colored sky filled the entire world with vibrant colors. A dazzling array of eight-colored light filled the skies above Shengyu City.
A surge of immense pressure suddenly erupted, enveloping the entire Demonic Beast Mountain Range. Both the demonic beasts and the snakemen felt a natural suppression of their bloodline!
Within the hazy eight-colored light, a multicolored figure, spanning the heavens and earth, loomed.
At this moment, Liu Yu's soul trembled violently as his soul power was forcibly released. To make matters worse, the aftereffects of overusing his soul power suddenly struck!
"Boss!" Zi Yan exclaimed, the space around her trembling. She vanished, reappearing above Shengyu City, embracing the falling Liu Yu.
...
In the Holy Temple, a vast palace.
On a luxurious bed, Liu Yu, who had been sleeping for a long time, slowly opened his eyes...
After an indeterminate amount of time, Liu Yu felt refreshed. Then, feeling something soft on his arm, he tilted his head slightly.
Cold, enchanting, a disaster for the nation and its people...
The familiar, charming face made Liu Yu's heart beat faster.
"Are you awake? All these years while I was away, I've enjoyed the company of so many beauties! It's been a real treat!"
Medusa slowly approached, her narrow, beautiful eyes fixed on Liu Yu beneath her. A charming, yet dangerous curve curved across her enchanting face.
Liu Yu stared at the dazzlingly beautiful, delicate face so close to him, his mind drifting slightly off.
Coming to his senses, Liu Yu, knowing he was in the wrong, didn't want to argue. He softly said, "I'm sorry..."
"Tell me about what happened during my years of slumber,"
Medusa whispered, leaning gently against Liu Yu's chest. Naturally, she was angry at Liu Yu's flirtations with women. That day, after fully waking up, she saw Zi Yan holding Liu Yu unconscious, and the familiar figure beside her, and she nearly struck out.
For the next three months, seeing Liu Yu still unconscious every day, she finally relented and accepted the fact that he had been hiding his affairs from her, hoping he would wake up soon.
It could be said that Liu Yu's coma was just right; otherwise, he, Medusa, and Yun Yun would undoubtedly have faced a series of complications.
Seeing that Queen Medusa didn't seem to want to pursue him further, Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, yet a flicker of guilt crossed his heart.
With his hands gently wrapped around her slender waist, Liu Yu began to recount every detail of the past five years. Aside from the details regarding the achievement system, he reported to Medusa everything, big and small, that had transpired since the planning and rebuilding of the Serpent People.
"Are you sure the Soul Seal can control that afflicted poison body? She's now a two-star Dou Zun, and her soul power is considerable. If she harbors any ulterior motives, even at my four-star Dou Zun level, it would be difficult to handle,"
Medusa warned, her delicate hand caressing Liu Yu's chest.
"Don't worry, my Soul Seal isn't easily detached. As her soul power grows, the Soul Seal attached to her soul will also absorb that power. From the moment I planted the Soul Seal on her, her life and death were already under my control. If she harbors any ulterior motives, her soul's annihilation is a matter of a thought!"
"That's good..." Medusa replied softly. She was afraid that Liu Yu, seduced by her beauty, would unnecessarily help her master the afflicted poison body, only to end up in trouble.
Feeling the soft, jade-like body in his arms, its fullness, after a moment of tranquility, Liu Yu inexplicably had an idea in his mind—unify the Northwest Continent!
The Serpent People now possessed two Dou Zun-level powerhouses, as well as numerous Dou Zongs and Dou Huangs and Dou Wangs.
He felt that even if Dou Zun existed secretly in the Northwest Continent, against the Serpent People with their four-star Dou Zun-level Eight-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python and two-star Dou Zun-level poisonous bodies, and with an alchemist like himself whose soul realm had reached the late Spirit Realm during his coma, as long as there were no high-level Dou Zun in the Northwest Continent, the Northwest Continent would be no match for the Serpent People!
With this idea in mind, Liu Yu shared this with Medusa in his arms.
Hearing Liu Yu's plan to unify the Northwest Continent, Medusa also felt it was feasible. With the Serpent People's current overall strength, attempting to unify the Northwest Continent was not impossible. If successful, it would only bring infinite benefits to the Serpent People's development.
