"Drip!"
"Drip!"
Morning dew quietly seeped from the blades of grass into the untamed earth, while rays of sunlight slowly crept in from the east.
At this moment, Xiao Yi Xian and the others were eating breakfast. Sweet mushrooms paired with soup brewed from medicinal herbs were not only delicious but also good for the body. Definitely worth having!
"Another bowl!"
A few droplets still lingered around Xiao Ling'er's mouth as she held out her bowl toward Xiao Yi Xian with both hands, her wine-red eyes fixed intently on the fragrant mushroom soup in the pot.
Xiao Yi Xian smiled at Xiao Ling'er, then took a handkerchief from her Storage Ring and wiped the soup from the corner of her mouth under the little girl's dazed gaze.
Liu Yan smiled as well. Over this period of time, the little girl before them had seemingly become everyone's darling.
Chi Han gloomily gnawed on meat nearby. The pot was so small that if he ate from it, it probably would not even be enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.
"Ah, why is being a snake so difficult?"
"Isn't my mouth just a tiny bit bigger?"
"Isn't my appetite just a tiny bit larger?"
Chi Han glanced at the mushroom soup while eating the wild boar in front of him. He was not jealous in the slightest...
After an unknown amount of time, a violent energy fluctuation and a savage lion's roar suddenly exploded through the sky like muffled thunder.
Hearing the lion's roar filled with violent fury, Chi Han's expression changed slightly as his gaze locked onto the distant sky.
That was where the violent energy was coming from, and it was also the territory of the true overlord of the Monster Mountain Range—the Amethyst Winged Lion King!
"That is the roar of a sixth-rank magical beast, the Amethyst Winged Lion King. Who actually dared to set their sights on it?"
Chi Han stared at the violent energy in the distance in surprise. The Amethyst Winged Lion King was not something that could be provoked so easily.
"A sixth-rank magical beast?"
Liu Yan stepped out of the grass hut and was equally shocked by the terrifying scene in the distance.
The only sixth-rank magical beast here was the Amethyst Winged Lion King, a powerful creature even slightly stronger than human Dou Emperors of the same realm.
"Hm?"
"Has she come?"
Xiao Yi Xian muttered as she watched the strange phenomenon in the sky. Part of the reason she had remained here was to cultivate, while the other part was for Yun Yun.
Xiao Yi Xian put on a black robe and a battered bronze mask. The Purple Cloud Wings on her back spread open, and she flew toward the distance.
"Master?"
"Miss?"
Liu Yan and Chi Han were both bewildered as they watched Xiao Yi Xian rush out. That was a Dou Emperor-level battle. If she went over now and was accidentally caught in the aftermath...
"Take care of Xiao Ling'er. I'll be gone for a few days..."
After leaving those words behind, Xiao Yi Xian turned into a streak of purple light and headed toward the battlefield, leaving behind one man and one beast in the gentle breeze.
Chi Han exchanged a glance with Liu Yan beside him and asked, "Does Master know the person fighting the Amethyst Winged Lion King?"
Liu Yan shook his head. He did not understand Xiao Yi Xian at all. He had no idea what was going on...
The two glanced at Xiao Ling'er, who was still sleeping soundly inside the hut, and felt that their days ahead might become a little difficult.
Above the azure sky, violent energy fluctuations continuously produced muffled thunder-like explosions. Even though Xiao Yi Xian was still quite far from the battle, her ears could not help but ring.
Xiao Yi Xian was currently weaving through the dense forest. She was not foolish enough to fly over to watch the show—that would be no different from courting death. A human flying through the depths of the Monster Mountain Range without revealing any cultivation...
There was no need to guess. The Amethyst Winged Lion King would definitely attack to test her, so she still had to rely on the flowers, grass, and trees in the forest to conceal herself.
The Sword Box concealed her aura, but it could not make her figure disappear. Fortunately, because two great overlords were fighting, all the magical beasts in the area had already fled.
Otherwise...
Xiao Yi Xian watched from beside a tree at a neither-too-near-nor-too-far distance, her light-purple eyes fixed tightly on the distant horizon.
There, azure and crimson colors nearly filled half the sky. Even the lazy white clouds had been dyed with a two-colored glow.
Another thunderous boom rang out beside her ears, and the pressure from the sky would occasionally make even the ground beneath her feet tremble.
"Is this what a true powerhouse is like?" she murmured. Having gained an initial glimpse of the terrifying might caused by battles at this level, she was stunned.
Xiao Yi Xian had never known what true powerhouses were like, but now she finally understood that the descriptions in books of one person facing ten thousand were not merely legends.
Such strength was truly terrifying. Without some heaven-defying ability, fighting immortals across realms would be far too difficult.
The further one progressed, the more even a minor realm could determine life and death. It was hard to imagine just how powerful Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flames would become later on, when fighting above his level would become commonplace.
Skimming along the tops of the forest, Xiao Yi Xian sped forward at incredible speed. More than ten minutes later, she finally approached the site of the battle.
Even with the Sword Box protecting her, the pressure radiating from the violent energy fluctuations in the sky still made her heart tremble.
Several dozen meters outside the aerial battle zone, Xiao Yi Xian stopped. Using the cover of the massive forest, she leaped onto the crown of a towering tree. From there, she could clearly see both sides fighting in the sky.
If not for the Sword Box, she might not even have dared approach this place. If an attack accidentally spread here, she believed the Sword Box would be able to withstand it.
Watching from such close range, Xiao Yi Xian once again witnessed the ferocity of a Dou Emperor-level powerhouse. Azure and crimson light covered half the sky, creating an extremely spectacular sight.
Her gaze first swept toward the enormous magical beast in the air. Its body was massive, and its seven-to-eight-meter-long form was covered in a layer of purple crystals. Under the sunlight, they radiated dazzling light.
The magical beast had a terrifying lion's head. Its beast eyes were blood-red with an eerie purple gleam, and its enormous maw was full of fangs.
A fiery-red spiral horn protruded from its lion's head, while clusters of purple flames coiled around the tip of the horn. On either side of its massive lion body grew a pair of purple wings, even larger than Chi Han's.
With every flap of its purple wings, clusters of pale-purple flames surged out like flamethrowers, sweeping across the sky. Its four thick claws were likewise covered in purple crystals, and every step it took made the empty air tremble. It was difficult to imagine just how great its strength was.
The massive magical beast stood in the void, and an invisible pressure descended from the heavens, causing Xiao Yi Xian's mind to tremble.
"So this is the legendary Amethyst Winged Lion King?" Xiao Yi Xian murmured softly as she looked at the lion king.
No matter what, the Amethyst Winged Lion King had quite an important role in the earlier parts of the story as a magical beast.
However, she could never forget the last time the Amethyst Winged Lion King had encountered Xiao Yan.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King had thought it could give Xiao Yan a proper lesson this time, only to be nearly frightened to death by the aura of Xiao Yan and the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.
Xiao Yi Xian then shifted her gaze toward the person confronting the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
Her eyes first fell upon that exquisite, curvaceous figure, and Xiao Yi Xian was greatly astonished. That figure...
The woman in the sky wore a plain dress that wrapped around her voluptuous body. She held a somewhat peculiar longsword that emitted a cyan glow.
Her dark hair was arranged into an elegant phoenix hair ornament, while her beautiful and moving face remained calm and serene. She truly deserved to be called Yun Yun, the current sweet and naive sect master of the Misty Cloud Sect.
Behind Yun Yun was a pair of cyan feathered wings. The wings were somewhat illusory and completely different from Xiao Yi Xian's Purple Cloud Wings. At the very least, Yun Yun's were made of actual feathers.
Although the purple color was a little ugly, Xiao Yi Xian was definitely going to get her hands on the Sky Demon Phoenix's pair of red wings. Not only were they beautiful, but they would surely let her fly even faster.
