Battle at the Dou Emperor Level

Yao Lao narrowed his eyes. He knew this was not the time to fight Lin Mu. He had only just awakened, and if he fought, he might fall into slumber once more.

Fortunately, Lin Mu had disappeared.

After obtaining the Six Paths Samsara Method, Lin Mu returned to his residence and used his ability to isolate the surrounding aura.

The originally attribute-less Dou Qi began undergoing an extraordinarily profound transformation after he cultivated the Six Paths Samsara Method. The surging Dou Qi within Lin Mu seemed like primordial chaos of the Great Dao, giving rise to all things.

If any powerful experts had been present, they would undoubtedly have been shocked.

Because perhaps across the entire Dou Qi Continent, no one possessed Dou Qi as profound as his.

Behind Lin Mu, his Dou Qi transformed into the Six Paths Samsara Technique. Each path resembled a Small World. Though they had yet to be opened, they were connected to one another and radiated terrifying fluctuations!

Despite having isolated his aura, this force still spread outward. In an instant, dark clouds blanketed the skies above all of Wutan City, and the terrifying pressure left everyone struggling to breathe!

"What terrifying pressure. Mr. Lin Mu truly deserves to be called a Dou Emperor expert," Xiao Zhan exclaimed.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yan, who was cultivating with Yao Lao, naturally noticed it as well.

"Hm? What bizarre Dou Qi fluctuations. And how could such a terrifying aura possibly be released by a youth like him?"

Yao Lao's expression turned grave.

"Who exactly is he?"

Not far away, a shadow emerged behind Xiao Xun Er and eventually transformed into a human figure.

"Ling Lao, investigate that man's background," Xiao Xun Er said in her ethereal voice.

"Yes, Miss."

Ling Ying nodded, and his figure vanished back into the darkness.

"The Six Paths Samsara Method truly is profound. I've only just cultivated it, yet it feels as though six Small Worlds have been opened within my body. Perhaps as my strength increases, these worlds may even nurture all things!"

"With a technique like this, who needs the Flame Mantra?"

Lin Mu withdrew his Dou Qi. His body trembled, and a pair of exceedingly magnificent Dou Qi Wings burst forth from within him.

Lin Mu's Dou Qi Wings were black and white overall, constantly shifting and evolving. They seemed to symbolize the paths of yin and yang, yet also seemed to use black and white to represent the three righteous and three evil Great Daos among the Six Paths Samsara!

[Please proceed to the Monster Beast Mountain Range and defeat the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. Reward upon completion: five randomly ranked Dou Techniques!]

Lin Mu opened his eyes, and his figure instantly vanished from the room.

At the same time, within a patch of darkness, Ling Ying was suddenly startled. Lin Mu's figure appeared before him, his finger piercing through the air and pointing straight at Ling Ying's throat!

"Boom!"

Sensing the threat, Ling Ying unleashed a vast surge of Dou Qi. Seeing this, Lin Mu merely snorted coldly.

The two clashed in an instant, and terrifying waves swept through the skies above Wutan City.

"For two Dou Emperor experts to exist in this tiny Wutan City... heh heh."

Yao Lao watched the battle and spoke with a chuckle.

"Is this the strength of Dou Emperor experts?"

Xiao Yan watched the battle in the sky, his eyes filled with yearning.

"Brat, stop watching. Though I don't know where the Dou Emperor fighting Lin Mu came from, neither of them has any killing intent. They are likely only sparring. If you want to reach that level, then train harder."

"If you wanted to test me, you could have simply said so. Why sneak around?"

Lin Mu smiled.

"Hmph."

Ling Ying flashed and disappeared into the surrounding darkness.

His movement technique was rather strange, perhaps related to the attribute of the technique he cultivated. Lin Mu could sense Ling Ying rapidly approaching him, and the Dou Qi within his body instantly gathered in his hand.

"Boom!"

He thrust out a finger, and that profound Dou Qi exploded in an instant, locking onto Ling Ying in midair. Seeing this, Ling Ying produced a sharp blade in his hand. Streaks of black light flashed forth and shattered Lin Mu's attack.

Ling Ying looked at Lin Mu, his fingers trembling.

Lin Mu's Dou Qi was simply too domineering. Although Ling Ying's own strength had reached the level of a seven-star Dou Emperor, he still found it extremely difficult to face Lin Mu, who was only a one-star Dou Emperor.

"Forget it. I don't have time to fight you."

Lin Mu shook his head. With a flap of his Dou Qi Wings, he vanished into the horizon.

"What a terrifying fellow. He possesses such strength at such a young age, and his Dou Qi... what exactly is it...?"

Ling Ying's figure soon faded away as well.

"The Dou Qi granted to me by the Six Paths Samsara Method is actually this terrifying!"

In the air, Lin Mu sped toward the Monster Beast Mountain Range. Recalling his battle with Ling Ying just now, he felt somewhat helpless. "It seems Xiao Xun Er has already set her sights on me. Otherwise, she wouldn't have sent Ling Ying to test me."

"Still, Ling Ying alone can't do anything to me."

"Although I don't know a single Dou Technique right now, I can still fight Ling Ying evenly with this profound Dou Qi alone."

A sonic boom rang out, and Lin Mu's figure disappeared once again.

"If I'm going to the Monster Beast Mountain Range, I should pass through Qingshan Town on my way back. Maybe I'll even run into Xiao Yi Xian."

Lin Mu smiled. The outline of a small town gradually emerged below him, but he did not retract his Dou Qi Wings. His foremost goal right now was to complete the mission.

Lin Mu then thought that Xiao Xun Er had spent so long with Xiao Yan that she might already have fallen for him. Lin Mu could not be bothered to play the cuckold. He had not come here to torment the protagonist, either.

If he went to that Third Brother next door, though, he would definitely torment him properly...

"Leaving Xiao Xun Er to you is enough. As for the others, I won't be holding back, heh heh."

Lin Mu flew over Qingshan Town and soon caught sight of the Monster Beast Mountain Range. Finding the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King would not be difficult. As one of the rare Sixth-tier Magical Beasts in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the aura it released could be detected by some powerful experts.

Lin Mu landed within the mountain range. Once he arrived, he could sense a scorching aura, as though it came from beneath the ground while also permeating the air.

"Boom!"

His Soul Power instantly spread out, bringing everything around him within the range of his soul perception. Since he already possessed the strength of a Dou Emperor, his Soul Power was naturally quite formidable.

"My Soul Power seems to be only at the ordinary Dou Emperor level. It looks like I can specifically cultivate Soul Power in the future."

Lin Mu took a deep breath. His Soul Power swept out in every direction, and he finally found an extremely powerful aura deep within the mountain range. He withdrew his Soul Power, spread his Dou Qi Wings, and flew in that direction.

"Found you. Today, I'm having Braised Lion Head!"

Lin Mu arrived at an open area. In the mountain below, he could clearly see a massive cave, from which a faint purple glow was emanating.

Seeing this, Lin Mu knew he had come to the right place.

"Human, why have you trespassed into my territory?!"

A furious roar sounded out. A gigantic shadow appeared in the sky—the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, its aura rolling forth in waves!
