Above the azure sky, violent energy waves collided back and forth, producing deafening booms.

In a Wildlands area in the eastern Beast Mountain Range, high-level Magical Beasts gathered everywhere, bowing in worship toward a cave as if praying for something.

Purple qi surged like raging waves, instantly stirring up a massive tornado over a hundred meters tall.

The surrounding Magical Beasts all sprawled on the ground, their faces filled with terror. Some had even fainted from fright.

Heavy footsteps slowly echoed from within the cave. A Magical Beast suddenly appeared before them all, its massive body stretching seven or eight meters long.

Its surface was covered in a layer of purple crystals. Under the sunlight, it shone brilliantly.

It was rather dazzling.

Not only that, the Magical Beast had a ferocious lion head, crimson beast eyes glowing with an eerie purple light, and a giant maw filled with fangs.

A fiery red spiral horn rose from its lion head, with clusters of purple flames curling around its tip.

It was none other than the Beast Mountain Range's Sixth Rank Magical Beast, the Amethyst Winged Lion King!

Its strength rivaled that of a Dou Huang expert! The Amethyst Winged Lion King stared into the distance, its expression dark as it said sorrowfully, "Something is giving This King an inexplicable sense of oppression. What is it?"

Its subordinates hurriedly recounted everything that had happened. Upon learning of it, the Amethyst Winged Lion King flew into a rage and immediately pinned a Third Order Magical Beast to the ground, crushing it to death beneath its foot.

"Arrogant human women! Not only did they trespass into This King's territory, they even slaughtered This King's subordinates. This King would like to see just how much capital lies behind their arrogance!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King had an exceptionally violent temper and would never allow humans to run rampant within its territory. As its wings slowly flapped, its enormous body rose into the air, while purple flames set the surrounding forest ablaze.

Countless weaker Magical Beasts felt that kingly pressure and collapsed to the ground, whimpering softly in boundless fear.

To be safe, the Amethyst Winged Lion King also brought along the three Tier 5 Magical Beasts that had originally supported it. Not only did it need to make an impressive show, it also had to let the other side experience the terror of the Beast Mountain Range! Li Xiao, who was still admiring the Ascending Heaven Pavilion, naturally had no idea that the outside world had already changed. High-level Magical Beasts from the eastern region of the Beast Mountain Range had surrounded the area with weapons in hand.

Linglong and Niu Meng were the first to sense the Amethyst Winged Lion King's aura. They immediately cupped their hands and said, "Pavilion Master, the ruler of this place, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, has arrived with a group of subordinates."

"Would you like your subordinate to strike and kill it?"

Hearing Linglong's reminder, Li Xiao began to ponder. Naturally, he knew of the Amethyst Winged Lion King. It was one of the rulers of the Beast Mountain Range, a Sixth Rank Magical Beast whose flames could devour a Dou Huang alive.

"Linglong, capture it first. I have my own arrangements."

The Ascending Heaven Pavilion had only just been established, and what it lacked most was mounts. The Amethyst Winged Lion King was an excellent choice.

Besides, Li Xiao could not yet use Qi Transformation Wings. He had to travel everywhere on foot, which not only wasted time but could also lead to unnecessary trouble.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was a Sixth Rank Magical Beast. If it became his mount, it would certainly be impressive whenever he went out. Whoever saw it would have to shout his name aloud.

Upon hearing this, Linglong nodded gently. No one was permitted to defy the Pavilion Master's orders, and as rewards from the system, they naturally would not betray him.

Niu Meng shrugged. He had originally intended to fight, but Linglong's icy tone put an end to that thought. He could only follow behind her and help dispose of the corpses.

High-level Magical Beasts had already gathered here. The surrounding mercenary groups were stunned senseless by the scene. They had never seen Magical Beasts emerge in such numbers, much less ones all above the Third Order.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King glanced at the Ascending Heaven Pavilion below, its expression filled with disdain. "Cunning humans, you actually dared to build a house here. You truly have no regard for This King!"

The other three Tier 5 Magical Beasts stood atop the surrounding mountains. They did not act rashly, instead staring deeply at the Ascending Heaven Pavilion. All of them could sense a sacred, inviolable aura mixed within it.

That aura struck directly at their hearts, making them feel an urge to worship.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King likewise sensed the strange energy radiating from the Ascending Heaven Pavilion. That was why it did not launch an attack immediately, instead keeping its distance and waiting for an opportunity.

Several more minutes passed, yet there was still no sign of anyone. The Amethyst Winged Lion King began to think it had merely imagined things. It frowned and shouted decisively, "Cunning humans, get out here for This King!"

Not a sound could be heard.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's eyes were savage and cruel. It had not expected the other side to ignore it. Did they not know who the true ruler of the Beast Mountain Range was?!

"Destroy this place!"

At its command, the cannon fodder it had brought rushed forward with clubs raised. Yet upon entering within a hundred meters of the Ascending Heaven Pavilion, every Magical Beast felt a violent shudder run through its body. They could not help but tremble, only to discover that they had actually wet themselves.

Magical Beasts above the Third Order had already developed intelligence, so they naturally understood what that feeling was. Coldness, terror, and fear rose from within them.

The next second, all their bodies split into two, blood spraying forth nonstop like fountains.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King frowned. It had not even seen how the other side attacked. To so easily kill so many Magical Beasts above the Third Order, the opponent's strength had to be at least at the Dou Wang realm.

Suddenly, the heavens and earth changed color. Blue high heels lightly stepped through the air, and a powerful shockwave instantly shattered the surrounding mountains inch by inch.

The three Tier 5 Magical Beasts' expressions changed drastically. Without even looking back, they turned and tried to flee. Yet Linglong made no movement at all, merely speaking calmly, "Get down."

With just those two words, the three Tier 5 Magical Beasts that had been trying to escape completely lost control of their bodies and fell straight to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's pupils abruptly contracted as it cried out, "A Dou Zong expert!"

Linglong's gaze remained calm. Looking at the Amethyst Winged Lion King, whose face had gone pale with fright, she wore an expression of utter disdain. A mere Sixth Rank Magical Beast dared to show off here. It truly did not know the difference between life and death.

"Senior, who are you?"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King swallowed hard. It understood perfectly well that the person before it was incomparably powerful and simply not someone it could contend with.

"This is the sacred ground of my Ascending Heaven Pavilion. You insignificant first-stage Dou Huangs dared to ignore the warning and come disturb our Pavilion Master's cultivation. I have come under orders to capture you beasts and leave you to our Pavilion Master's judgment!"
