BTTH: Starting from Capturing the Goddess-Chapter 51 - 53: The Human Emperor’s Bloodline
Chapter 51 - 53: The Human Emperor’s Bloodline
"You're courting death!"
Hai Bodong's eyes turned cold. Just because Chen Mo was human didn't mean he would show any mercy.
"I told you to get out of the way! Didn't you hear me?!"
Queen Medusa's voice, sharp and cold, gradually softened into something that almost sounded like concern.
Chen Mo paid no attention.
He activated the Great Sun Undying Body.
From all directions, golden light began to converge toward him.
Chen Mo could feel the Dou Qi in his body being drained at a rapid pace.
A torrent of golden radiance surged around him, and within that light, an enormous golden silhouette began to slowly take shape—like a towering divine figure made of sunlight.
In just a few breaths' time, a ten-zhang-tall golden divine avatar formed above Chen Mo's head.
The reason it was only ten zhang tall was because Chen Mo's current level of Dou Qi could only support a ten-zhang form. If he had more energy, it could have reached dozens—or even hundreds—of zhang.
On the surface of the golden avatar, dark purple markings could be seen—ancient and majestic patterns resembling rising suns.
It was like countless suns blazing across the sky.
The golden figure sat silently in a meditative pose above Chen Mo's head. As golden light flowed across its body, an indescribable sense of ancient power and majesty swept through the air.
Even Queen Medusa and Hai Bodong were shaken to their core.
As for the spectators below—they were nearly ready to pop their eyeballs out in disbelief.
At the very moment when the last bit of Dou Qi was drained from his body, Chen Mo controlled the avatar to deliver a powerful palm strike.
The giant golden avatar struck down with a force that seemed capable of suppressing the heavens and earth.
Boom!
The moment it collided with the massive hundred-zhang-long ice dragon, the dragon began to collapse, foot by foot, starting from the head. In front of the golden avatar, it was utterly powerless.
However, just as the ice dragon fully disintegrated, the golden avatar also dissipated—it no longer had the energy to sustain itself.
The collision triggered a violent energy storm that swept outward in all directions.
It crashed heavily into Chen Mo, sending him flying.
Thankfully, Queen Medusa caught him just in time.
He fell into her arms.
Blood sprayed from his mouth.
"I... I still wasn't strong enough..."
Chen Mo had overestimated the amount of Dou Qi available from the Dou Wang realm and underestimated the consumption of the Great Sun Undying Body. As soon as he finished speaking, he passed out.
He didn't get to see the moment Queen Medusa—her face always cold as ice—suddenly had tears welling in her eyes.
"I told you to stay out of it, didn't I?!"

Still holding Chen Mo in her arms, Queen Medusa raised her head and let out a furious roar toward the sky.
In the next instant, a crimson serpent spirit, over a hundred zhang long, emerged behind her.
"Seal of the Serpent!"
This was Queen Medusa's bloodline ability. With a thunderous roar, the crimson serpent spirit lunged toward Hai Bodong in the sky.
Its speed was terrifying.
Hai Bodong summoned another hundred-zhang ice dragon in response—but it was instantly torn apart by the serpent.
Before he could even react, the serpent spirit slammed brutally into him.
Hai Bodong was sent flying.
And then—his face began to age rapidly, his black hair turning completely white in an instant.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, his expression changing drastically. Looking down at Queen Medusa standing cold and still on the sandy ground, a trace of fear flickered in his eyes.
He dared not stay another second and fled toward Mo City without hesitation.
As Hai Bodong escaped, the mercenaries watching from a distance quickly dispersed in a panic.
Queen Medusa watched him flee, then looked down at the unconscious Chen Mo in her arms.
Her jade-like fingers brushed gently across his face.
Moments later, a dark-golden pendant appeared in her hand.
Had Chen Mo been awake, he would've recognized it—it looked exactly like the one Butterfly had given him.
But unlike Butterfly's pendant, which was only half, this one was complete.
Queen Medusa fastened the pendant around Chen Mo's neck. Then she picked up the fallen Green Lotus, cradled Chen Mo in her arms, and with a flap of her wings, soared toward the depths of the desert.
Mo City.
Inside a shop named Gu Tu, Hai Bodong staggered through the entrance and collapsed against a shelf, falling to the ground.
Blood gushed from his mouth.
Then he noticed his cultivation was falling rapidly—from a five-star Dou Huang, he dropped to three stars just during his flight.
Now, he had fallen to two-star Dou Huang.
And it wasn't stopping.
No matter what methods he tried, he couldn't halt the decline.
With a twisted expression, Hai Bodong inspected his Qi whirlpool through internal perception and saw a strange crimson serpent mark.
In other words—he'd been sealed.
And over time, his cultivation would continue to fall.
It wouldn't be long before he lost his Dou Huang realm entirely.
One name suddenly surfaced in his mind:
Pill King Gu He.
Hai Bodong sat cross-legged, forcing himself to stabilize his condition and replenish his Dou Qi.
Once his energy was steady, the first thing he did was go look for Gu He.
The deep desert.
Dozens of fully armed Snake-People warriors, wielding poisoned spears, patrolled a restricted area vigilantly. Any non-Snake-People intruders would be met with lethal force.
Their patrols crisscrossed each other's paths, and wherever they passed, their snake tails left sweeping trails in the sand.
Suddenly, a sharp burst of wind howled through the sky.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" one Snake-Person shouted in alarm.
A red glow streaked through the air.
The squad leader smacked the panicked soldier on the head. "Quiet! It's Her Majesty the Queen!"
"Her Majesty... seems injured..."
"She's still holding that human. Is he dead?"
Snake-People Royal Palace.
Ever since Queen Medusa left, the entire Snake-People tribe had been on high alert. The usual number of patrol guards had been doubled.
Day and night, the palace remained under tight security.
Yue Nu led a squad of royal guards patrolling the outer walls.
Suddenly, a piercing sound echoed from the horizon. Yue Nu instinctively looked up.
Under the moonlight, a crimson glow was speeding toward the palace.
The soldiers on the walls couldn't see clearly and raised their crossbows in alarm.
"It's Her Majesty! Lower your weapons!" Yue Nu shouted sharply.
The soldiers immediately lowered their crossbows in unison.
Queen Medusa landed on the palace walls. Yue Nu's pupils contracted, her expression turning tense.
"Your Majesty—you're injured!"
Yue Nu saw her pale complexion and the bloodstains across her fair skin.
Without a word, Queen Medusa held Chen Mo close and headed into the palace. As she walked, she commanded:
"Send word to Elder Baru. Also, place the Snake-People Tribe on Level One Alert. Notify the Three Great Elders to summon the Eight Tribal Leaders to defend the royal city."
"Defend the royal city?!"

Yue Nu was stunned. What on earth had happened?
Still, she responded quickly: "Understood!"
