Personality

The Lion King is proud of his sovereignty and fiercely protective of his child and subordinates. He intervenes when Liu Yu threatens to kill a fifth-rank beast, but angrily berates those subordinates for requiring his help. His temper has limits: recognizing Liu Yu’s Heavenly Flame and apparent alchemist status, he initially offers to overlook the intrusion rather than risk retaliation from powerful allies 5 6.

Repeated duels and gifts gradually turn his resentment into respect. Becoming a mount requires him to reconsider his identity as a ruler, but once he accepts Liu Yu, he follows orders without hesitation. His eagerness for pills brings out an ingratiating side, including extravagant praise when Liu Yu offers to refine a Transformation Pill 7 21.

Abilities & Skills

Purple Flame

A fire-attribute magical beast capable of releasing large-scale purple flame attacks 6 20.

• Fires concentrated blasts through his spiral horn and releases flames from his body to form massive pillars 6.
• Uses purple fire to wear away the burning Dou Qi attached to his scales 6.
• His flames are completely consumed by Liu Yu’s Green Lotus Core Flame during their first battle 6.

Amethyst Seal

A powerful sealing technique that compresses gathered purple radiance into a narrow, deep-purple beam 8 20.

• Initially tears through hundreds of serpents produced by Liu Yu’s Ten Thousand Serpent Calamity 20.
• The continuing waves exhaust the beam, allowing the remaining serpents to engulf him and end their rematch 20 21.

Armored Body and Close Combat

His crystalline scales, claws, and physical endurance make him difficult to defeat through ordinary attacks 6.

• Liu Yu’s initial spear strike leaves only a white mark, although its attached burning effect causes pain and blackens his scales 6.
• Moves with surprising speed despite his size and can continue fighting physically after exhausting his Dou Qi 6.
• His armor cannot withstand the longsword form of Liu Yu’s Thousand-Mechanism Fan during their later duel 20.

Flight and Transformation

His purple wings provide aerial mobility and allow him to carry Liu Yu over long distances 21 22.

• Serves as Liu Yu’s mount during the campaign against rival sixth-rank beasts and the return to the Tagor Desert 21 22.
• Takes human form through the Transformation Pill. The pill grants free switching between human and beast forms, combining human cultivation talent with a magical beast’s long lifespan 21 22.

Background / History

Cave Robbery and First Duel

The Lion King lives with his cub in a guarded mountain cave in the eastern Magical Beast Mountain Range. Liu Yu infiltrates while both are asleep, steals the companion amethyst source and part of its stone platform, then strikes the cub to seize the amethyst beneath it. The Lion King awakens furious and orders a mountain-wide search, but the thief escapes 5.

After reaching One-Star Dou Wang using the stolen source, Liu Yu returns openly. The Lion King intervenes to protect his subordinates, and Liu Yu admits to the theft. Their aerial battle lasts until sunset: Liu Yu burns and blackens his scales but cannot inflict substantial injuries, while the Lion King struggles to catch his elusive opponent. Liu Yu retreats with less than twenty percent of his Dou Qi remaining, and the weary Lion King declines to pursue 6.

Rivalry Becomes Respect

For more than half a month, Liu Yu challenges him daily to consolidate his cultivation, giving him a fifth-grade Qi Cultivation Pill after each battle. The encounters become increasingly even and establish mutual respect 7.

Before leaving, Liu Yu proposes that the Lion King become his mount in exchange for help growing stronger, allowing him until their next meeting to decide. He also tempers the cub with the Green Lotus Core Flame to improve its aptitude and gives the Lion King a bottle of companion amethyst source 7.

Submission to Liu Yu

Months later, Liu Yu returns with Yun Yun and challenges him again. This time, Liu Yu breaches his armor with a sword and overwhelms the Amethyst Seal with Ten Thousand Serpent Calamity. The Lion King concedes, accepts a Recovery Pill, and addresses Liu Yu as “Master,” agreeing to become his mount 20 21.

Liu Yu names him Little Purple and uses his knowledge of neighboring territories to locate three other sixth-rank beasts. After Liu Yu kills them, Little Purple gathers their treasures. Their combined medicinal ingredients provide a complete set for a Transformation Pill, whose seven-day refinement he guards 21.

Guardian of the Snake-People Tribe

Little Purple carries Liu Yu home to the Tagor Desert, where tribal sentries initially mistake him for an invader. Liu Yu identifies him as his mount and “one of us,” resolving the confrontation. Hua She’er later arranges a secluded place for him to take the completed Transformation Pill 22.

By the end of Liu Yu’s month-long visit, he has taken human form and reached Five-Star Dou Emperor. He stays behind to guard the tribe, subsequently oversees magical beasts supporting its relocation, and remains responsible for the beasts deep in the mountain range when Liu Yu leaves for the Black-Corner Region 22 23 27.

Relationships

• Liu Yu — Initially his robber and persistent challenger; later his master and alchemical benefactor. Their relationship develops through repeated combat, pill gifts, and Liu Yu’s promise of advancement 5 7 21 22.
• Young Amethyst Winged Lion King — His cub. He reacts furiously to its injury during the robbery and worries while Liu Yu tempers its body, despite trusting Liu Yu not to harm it deliberately 5 7.
• Snake-People Tribe — Becomes its guardian and supports its migration. His local knowledge and authority over magical beasts help Liu Yu establish the tribe’s new home 21 22 23.
• Hua She’er — Provides the undisturbed location where he takes his Transformation Pill 22.

Trivia

• An author’s note explicitly corrects earlier references that treated the Lion King as female, confirming that he is male 21.
• Despite being called the mountain range’s overlord, his original territory covers only its eastern region; other sixth-rank beasts maintain separate territories 21.
