"Heh, you! You should just focus on training honestly. You'll never be able to envy your way to it." The moment Xiao Yi Xian saw Xiao Xie's expression, she knew what he was thinking. Over the past month, she had completely accepted her identity as a Poison Master. In fact, every time she saw Xiao Xie looking utterly crushed, she gradually came to love being a Poison Master even more.
Every time Xiao Xie wanted to improve his cultivation and combat skills, he had to fight Magical Beasts. She, on the other hand, only needed to take some poison, and the Poison Dou Qi in her body would rise rapidly. As her cultivation grew stronger, the Venom-Venom Fruit's abilities grew stronger too. The stronger those abilities became, the more poison she could absorb at once, and the faster her cultivation advanced. With this cycle, increasing her cultivation was simply far too easy.
Xiao Xie's cultivation speed was already absurdly monstrous, but against someone even more monstrous like Xiao Yi Xian, all he could say was, "I yield!" In just two months, she had gone from not even being a Dou Zhe to breaking through to a Three Star Dou Shi. If word of that speed got out, how would those people who were still stuck at the Dou Shi level in their thirties and forties feel?
Just then, an intense surge of energy and a savage lion's roar suddenly exploded through the sky like muffled thunder.
Hearing the lion's roar filled with violent power, Xiao Xie and Xiao Yi Xian's expressions changed at the same time. Their eyes fixed tightly on the distant sky, where that violent energy had originated.
"That's the territory of the Sixth-Order Magical Beast, the Amethyst Winged Lion King. Did some unlucky fool provoke it?" Xiao Yi Xian asked, looking puzzled.
The Sixth-Order Magical Beast Amethyst Winged Lion King was equivalent to a Dou Emperor-level expert and one of the overlords of the Monster Beast Mountain Range. Under normal circumstances, no one should be foolish enough to provoke it. Even Xiao Xie and Xiao Yi Xian had to avoid it for now.
With his sharp eyesight, Xiao Xie seemed to make out the faint figure of a graceful, dignified woman. After thinking for a moment, he muttered, "Could it be her?"
Although Xiao Xie had read the original Battle Through the Heavens, that had been several years ago. He still remembered the main plot, but many of the details had already faded from his memory. After all, when he read Battle Through the Heavens back then, he never imagined he would one day transmigrate into the Dou Qi Continent!
For a novel read years ago, forget the readers—even the author himself would be unable to perfectly recall every detail after so much time. Whenever Xiao Xie saw those transmigration novels where the protagonist remembered every minute plot detail, he could only say they were complete nonsense. Just asking someone to recount every detail of what they had done yesterday would already be difficult, let alone remembering every detail of an entire novel. No one could probably even remember all the place names that appeared in one.
Still, the scene before him did feel rather familiar. If he had guessed correctly, the person fighting the Amethyst Winged Lion King should be Yun Yun, the Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect.
The only reason Xiao Xie remembered this scene was purely coincidental. (Xiao Xie would never admit that, back when he read this part, Xiao Yan and Yun Yun had clearly both been drugged with aphrodisiacs, yet Xiao Yan had put on the act of a righteous gentleman and failed to take Yun Yun while he had the chance. When Xiao Xie read that part, he had practically cursed the author to death. Laozi had already taken his pants off, and this was what you showed me... His resentment was overflowing!)
Above the azure sky, violent energy fluctuations continuously produced rumbling sounds like muffled thunder. Even though Xiao Xie and Xiao Yi Xian were quite far from the battlefield, their ears still felt somewhat numb.
Their eyes were fixed on the distant horizon, where green and red colors nearly filled half the sky. Even the lazy white clouds had been dyed with the glow of those two colors.
"I want to go take a look." Xiao Yi Xian swallowed and spoke to Xiao Xie. Originally, she had believed that her poison could even affect Dou Wangs. Though she had not said it aloud, she had grown somewhat proud inside, to the point where she even looked down somewhat on Dou Emperors. But after seeing how powerful even the aftershocks of this battle were, she realized she had underestimated Dou Emperor-level experts. Dou Emperors and Dou Wangs were fundamentally on entirely different levels; there was no comparison between them.
"Perfect. I was planning to take a look too." Xiao Xie readily agreed. If they really encountered danger they could not handle, he would summon Arno. During this time, since he was training through experience, Xiao Xie had not summoned Arno. Otherwise, with a trump card comparable to a Nine Star Dou Emperor like Arno at his side, there would be no point in this training.
One had the Levitation Technique, while the other had the Purple Cloud Wings. Both Xiao Xie and Xiao Yi Xian were extremely fast. After flying for more than ten minutes, they finally approached the battlefield. The pressure radiating from the violent energy fluctuations in the sky made even the two of them, who could join forces against a Dou Wang, feel their hearts tremble.
Several dozen meters outside the aerial battlefield, the two stopped. Using the vast forest as cover, they leaped onto the crown of a towering tree. From there, Xiao Xie and Xiao Yi Xian could clearly see both sides battling in the sky.
Watching from such close range, Xiao Xie and Xiao Yi Xian once again experienced the ferocity of Dou Emperor-level experts. Green and red colors filled half the azure sky, creating an utterly spectacular sight.
Their gazes first swept toward the enormous Magical Beast in the air. Its body was massive, measuring seven or eight meters long, and its surface was actually covered in a layer of purple crystal. Under the sunlight, it gleamed brilliantly, almost painfully bright.
The Magical Beast's head was a rather savage-looking lion's head. Its beastly eyes were blood-red with a strange purple glow, while its enormous mouth was packed with fangs. Atop its lion head stood a fiery-red spiraled horn, around whose tip clusters of Purple Flame curled and swirled. A pair of purple wings grew from the sides of its massive lion body. Whenever those wings flapped, clusters of pale-purple flames swept forth like flamethrowers, blanketing the sky. Its four thick claws were likewise covered in purple crystal, and every step it took made the very air tremble. It was difficult to imagine just how immense its strength was.
The enormous Magical Beast stood in the void, and an invisible pressure descended from the sky.
"So this is the legendary Amethyst Winged Lion King? It's so beautiful!" Xiao Yi Xian murmured softly, her gaze dazed as she stared at the Magical Beast that embodied both beauty and destruction.
"So majestic!" When Xiao Xie saw the Magical Beast before him, his first thought was to make it his mount. Then, riding it around, he could show off... Cough, cough, no, he meant earn Worship Points. It would definitely be much easier.
After looking at the Amethyst Winged Lion King, Xiao Xie turned his gaze to the person confronting it. His eyes first fell upon that exquisitely curvaceous figure. The one facing it was a woman.
The woman in the sky wore a plain dress that wrapped around her full, delicate body. She held a long sword of somewhat unusual design, radiating a green glow. Her Green Silk hair had been gathered into a noble phoenix ornament, and her beautiful face was calm and serene.
Behind Yun Yun was a pair of green feathered wings. Since they were condensed from Dou Qi, the wings appeared slightly illusory.
Yun Yun stood calmly in the sky, her serene and beautiful face carrying a grace and nobility that even her plain clothing could not conceal.
"A woman with the strength of a Dou Emperor here—other than Yun Yun, who else could it be?" Xiao Xie muttered. He had already confirmed the woman's identity. "Such a beautiful girl... how did Xiao Yan hold himself back back then and not push her down while he had the chance? Could it be..."
"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Yi Xian suddenly felt a chill beside her. Turning her head, she saw the lewd smile on Xiao Xie's face.
"Nothing. Watch the show." Hearing Xiao Yi Xian's question, Xiao Xie immediately wiped the smile off his face and awkwardly changed the subject.
Xiao Yi Xian did not press the issue and turned her attention back to the sky. Seeing that she had not continued questioning him, Xiao Xie secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked toward the man and beast confronting each other.
"Human woman, why have you come to disturb This King's rest?" High in the sky, the enormous Amethyst Winged Lion King suddenly shouted in human speech.
Xiao Xie did not react much upon hearing the Magical Beast speak, but Xiao Yi Xian was startled. Then she understood. A Magical Beast that had reached this level had long since developed intelligence, and its wisdom was no lower than a human's. This was also the greatest difference between a Level 6 Magical Beast and a Fifth Level Magical Beast.
