Background

Before joining Xiao Yan, the Lion King was a sixth-rank Beast King of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. He disliked arduous cultivation and instead sought Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that could trigger a transformation; he particularly wished to strengthen his bloodline and reach the Dou Zong realm. However, stronger magical beasts controlled the more valuable territories, making such opportunities dangerous to pursue. 59

He had awakened a trace of the Crimson Sun Bloodline after swallowing an immature Blood Origin Grass stolen from the Crimson Fire Fox Clan. The bloodline granted minor abilities, but it did not remove the advancement ceiling he believed constrained his race. 66 67 84

Faced with Xiao Yan's overwhelming strength, he quickly accepted a subordinate role and began addressing him as “my lord.” He initially assisted Xiao Yan in seeking ingredients and confronting the Withered Owl Ape, then consumed the defeated beast's Magic Core to strengthen himself. 59 62 68

Xiao Yan and Yao Lao later refined the Lion King's blood and used its extracted Source Essence Blood to force a much greater evolution. The process nearly killed him: his body was reduced to a shriveled shell before he violently shed and regenerated his flesh, bones, fur, and scales. He ultimately reached the seventh tier. 84 85

Appearance

The Lion King is an enormous purple lion-like Magical Beast with wings, a spiral-patterned single horn, and dense amethyst crystal armor. Following his seventh-tier evolution, his body became younger-looking and stronger, with more pronounced crystal scales and a fiery mane. 85 86

• Massive body large enough to visibly disturb clouds and fog while flying. 141
• Thick purple crystal scales and armor that can be expanded into barriers. 115 152
• A spiral horn that serves as the focus of his Amethyst Seal. 65 70
• Broad wings used for flight, though his speed is considered comparatively poor. 119
• A prism-like tail tip that has solidified into crystal. 135
• Purple flames that burn around his body, mouth, and claws in combat. 86

Personality

The Lion King is fearful of stronger opponents, a trait he attributes to the instinctive bloodline pressure felt by Magical Beasts. When facing an enemy above his level, fear can make his Dou Qi difficult to control; he frequently recommends retreat when confronted with unpredictable threats. 63 65

He is also deeply opportunistic. Once Xiao Yan became his protector and benefactor, he embraced the relationship with excessive enthusiasm, portraying himself as Xiao Yan's loyal servant while using Xiao Yan's reputation to intimidate other Magical Beasts. He extorted “friend fees,” joining fees, and tribute from rivals while claiming to act under “That Lord's” authority. 86 115

Despite his cowardice and greed, he is protective of his cub and remains sincerely devoted to Xiao Yan. During the siege of his cave, he placed the Little Lion King beneath his body to shield it from three seventh-rank attackers. He also creates barriers around Xiao Yan during battle and is willing to endure severe harm in repayment for Xiao Yan's support. 115 152 160

Abilities & Skills

Amethyst Seal

The Lion King's primary technique is a sealing art channeled through his spiral horn. It creates purple rune-filled seals capable of suppressing energy, confining targets, and obstructing aura leakage.

• Sealed the aura of a Seventh Grade pill, stopping the Pill Lightning it had attracted. 70
• Temporarily froze the evolving Withered Owl Ape, though the seal could not stop its abnormal transformation. 65
• Generates layered crystal-fire barriers that can repair themselves with infused Dou Qi. 115
• Helped Medusa imprison Xie Bi Yan in place during their battle. 151
• Sealed Poison Gas, poison fire, and other aura fluctuations within a hall to prevent detection outside. 144
• Failed to suppress Xiao Yan when the latter's newly awakened Bloodline Power resisted the seal. 175

Amethyst Flame

He can wield destructive purple flame in direct combat and incorporate it into his sealing techniques.

• Manifested scorching claws and flames powerful enough to overwhelm a sixth-rank Orange Giant Eagle. 86
• Mixed violet flame with poison fire to form a sealing wave across an entire hall. 144
• Uses Amethyst Flame to evaporate poisonous mud and reinforce defenses in hostile environments. 158

Crimson Sun Bloodline

The Lion King's Crimson Sun Bloodline originated from the immature Blood Origin Grass he swallowed. It is a lesser component of his lineage beside his stronger Amethyst Beast ancestry. 67 85

• Grants a Crimson Sun Fire Seed that flourishes in fire-attributed areas such as the Great Desert. 122 135
• Allows him to sense certain bloodline-related auras, even when ordinary soul perception is insufficient. 169 175
• His bloodline was purified and made more active through Xiao Yan and Yao Lao's refinement process. 84 85
• Its fire-based benefits are weakened when sunlight and ambient heat are blocked. 159

Seventh-Tier Beast Physique

After evolving, the Lion King gained a major increase in physical power, durability, and aerial mobility.

• Can hover in the air without visibly exerting effort and pursue other Beast Kings through the sky. 86
• His crystal shell is difficult for ordinary sixth-rank Magical Beasts to damage. 86
• Withstood Xie Bi Yan's attacks with little injury beyond shattered crystal armor, then continued obstructing the opponent's movements. 152
• His flight speed remains a weakness compared with faster aerial combatants. 119

Relationships

• Xiao Yan — Master and benefactor. Xiao Yan supplied pills, resources, protection, and the blood-refining method that enabled the Lion King's evolution; the Lion King serves as his mount, guard, and enforcer. 75 85 115 152
• Little Lion King — His cub. The Lion King seeks resources for the cub's advancement and protects it at personal risk. 75 92 115 139
• Yao Lao — Xiao Yan's teacher and the principal force behind the Lion King's blood refinement and forced seventh-tier evolution. 84 85
• Medusa — Ally within Xiao Yan's group. They combine sealing and offensive abilities against Xie Bi Yan, though Medusa considers his reverence for Xiao Yan irrational. 151 152
• Qing Lin — Fellow companion whom he advises to cultivate harder if she wishes to remain at Xiao Yan's side. 135
• Old Fox — Leader of the Crimson Fire Fox Clan and a longstanding adversary; Old Fox resents the Lion King for swallowing the clan's immature Blood Origin Grass. 117

Story Role / Major Arcs

Withered Owl Ape Conflict

The Lion King offered Xiao Yan medicinal ingredients needed for the Imperial Zenith Pill in exchange for aid against the Withered Owl Ape, whose mental attacks frightened him. He helped locate the ape's cave and contributed sealing support, but was largely unable to fight directly against the creature's evolved form. 62 63 65

After the battle, he consumed the Withered Owl Ape's Magic Core and began rapidly advancing. His cooperation with Xiao Yan shifted from a tense transaction into a continuing master-and-companion arrangement. 68 75

Forced Bloodline Evolution

Unable to reliably reach the seventh tier through a Sect Breaking Pill alone, the Lion King accepted Xiao Yan and Yao Lao's plan to refine his blood. The procedure violently stripped and rebuilt his body, but successfully elevated him to Dou Zong and greatly strengthened his Amethyst Beast traits. 84 85

Mountain Range Tribute Collection

Newly empowered, the Lion King used Xiao Yan's backing to subdue nearby Magical Beasts. He demanded tribute under the pretense of “making friends,” accumulated resources, and acquired several subordinates, but his extortion attracted the hostility of other seventh-rank beasts. 86 115

When three Tier 7 Magical Beasts besieged his cave, he relied on crystal barriers and threats invoking Xiao Yan until Xiao Yan arrived to save him. 115 116

Crimson Fire Fox Clan

The Lion King guided Xiao Yan to the Crimson Fire Fox Clan in pursuit of more Blood Origin Grass. His former theft of the clan's immature grass made Old Fox hostile, while the Lion King's new seventh-tier status intimidated the foxes and altered their bargaining position. 117 118

Chuyun and Golden Goose Sect Operations

The Lion King accompanied Xiao Yan's party into the Chuyun Empire despite fearing its poisonous environment. He later assisted Medusa against Xie Bi Yan, sealed the aftermath of Nether Old Ghost's puppet breakthrough, scouted the Golden Goose Sect, and investigated its sealed basin with his own sealing art. 141 151 144 169

Poison Marsh Expedition

During the search for the Netherworld Poison Fire, the Lion King acted as transport, scout, and barrier bearer. The corrosive Poison Gas strained his crystal defenses and Amethyst Flame, forcing the group to conserve Dou Qi. 157 158

Notable Quotes

“I merely came under That Lord's orders to this territory to make friends with you~” 86

“Enough idle talk. Hand over the friend fee first!” 86

“This is called grasping the will of the sage!” 152

Trivia

• He considers the title of Dou Zong to be the practical upper limit of his race and initially saw further advancement as unnecessary. 84
• Yao Lao internally describes him less as a mount and more as a “pill-guarding beast” because of his aptitude for sealing pill auras and avoiding Pill Lightning. 116
• He is unable to read large monetary figures and struggles to understand the scale of sums such as one hundred million gold coins. 171
• His species' bloodline appears unusually mixed: Amethyst Beasts normally do not grow wings, while his Amethyst Winged Lion lineage also carries traces of the Crimson Sun Lion. 172
