BTTH:The Supreme Sovereign

Lin Xuan stood in the grand hall of the Snake-People Tribe, bound by golden Dou Qi chains.

Seated before him on an ornate jade throne, a breathtaking yet deadly woman gazed at him with cold, crimson-purple eyes—Queen Medusa.

The suffocating pressure of a peak Dou Huang filled the chamber.

Despite this, Lin Xuan remained calm. His golden eyes met hers without fear.

"You are bold for a human trespassing in my domain," Medusa said, voice like silk wrapped around a dagger.

Lin Xuan smirked. "And you are cautious for someone so powerful."

A flicker of amusement flashed across her gaze.

"You claim to have knowledge that could benefit me," she mused, "yet I could kill you at any moment."

Lin Xuan chuckled. "You could… but then you would lose something invaluable."

The hall fell silent. The surrounding Snake-People warriors shifted uneasily.

Medusa leaned forward slightly. "Oh? And what, exactly, makes you invaluable?"

Lin Xuan took a slow breath.

"I know of a method to perfect your evolution."

Lin Xuan's words sparked curiosity within Medusa.

The legend of Queen Medusa's Evolution was something he remembered clearly from his past life.

She sought to shed her old bloodline and ascend to a true higher existence, but the process was fraught with danger.

In the original story, she barely survived.

But what if Lin Xuan could ensure success?

He elaborated on ancient evolution techniques he had studied, referencing long-lost alchemy methods and a unique approach to controlling bloodline transformation.

Medusa listened in silence.

After a long pause, she finally spoke.

"You intrigue me, human. But I do not trust you."

Her gaze sharpened. "Prove your worth, or die."

Lin Xuan was taken to a coliseum-like battlefield within the Snake-People's city.

A massive crowd gathered, hissing and jeering at the human who dared to bargain with their queen.

His opponent was Xi'lan, one of Medusa's Dou Wang-level generals.

A powerful warrior, Xi'lan wielded a serpent spear imbued with terrifying Dou Qi.

"You are nothing but a liar," Xi'lan sneered. "I will crush you."

Lin Xuan calmly cracked his knuckles.

"You can try."

The battle began instantly.

BOOOM!

Xi'lan lunged, his spear whipping through the air, aiming for Lin Xuan's heart.

But Lin Xuan's figure vanished in a blur.

"What—?!"

Before Xi'lan could react—

BANG!

A devastating golden fist crashed into his chest, sending him flying backward into the coliseum wall!

The Snake-People gasped in shock.

Even Medusa's eyes narrowed slightly.

Lin Xuan stood tall, golden Dou Qi surging around him like a storm.

"Still think I'm a liar?"

Medusa's Decision

That night, Medusa summoned Lin Xuan privately.

She regarded him for a long moment before speaking.

"You are… different from most humans."

Lin Xuan smirked. "And you are different from most snake-women."

She chuckled softly. "Flattery will not save you."

Then, she leaned forward. "You have earned my interest. But not my trust. You will remain in my city and assist with my evolution. Step out of line, and I will end you."

Lin Xuan bowed slightly. "A fair deal."

Medusa smirked. "We shall see."

For the next few weeks, Lin Xuan remained within the Snake-People's capital.

Instead of being a prisoner, he was granted access to their ancient cultivation techniques and resources.

His Golden Dragon Sovereign Physique thrived in this environment.

His cultivation soared!

Three-Star Dou Zhe → Nine-Star Dou Zhe!

Half-step Dou Shi achieved!

Medusa watched his progress with keen interest.

One night, she approached him as he cultivated.

"You truly are a monster," she murmured.

Lin Xuan smiled. "Takes one to know one."

She laughed—a rare sound. "Perhaps.

But not everyone was pleased with Lin Xuan's presence.

Some Snake-People warriors plotted against him, believing a human had no place among them.

One night, an assassination attempt was made.

Lin Xuan, however, was ready.

"Sky Tyrant Dragon Palm!"

A golden wave of energy obliterated the assassins before they could even react!

Medusa appeared moments later, observing the carnage.

Her eyes gleamed. "You do not hesitate to kill."

Lin Xuan's gaze was cold. "I never do."

Medusa chuckled. "Good. You may survive here after all."
