Xiao Lin quietly raised his head and looked toward the eruption of Dou Qi.
There, a white figure and a massive Amethyst Color figure were clashing fiercely. Azure sword auras intertwined with amethyst light, illuminating the night sky as brightly as day!
"Yun Yun... the Amethyst Winged Lion King..."
His eyes flickered, and a meaningful smile curled at the corners of his lips.
"They've already started fighting."
Handing the unconscious Qing Lin to Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Lin spoke in a low, composed voice:
"Take care of her. I'll be right back."
"Brother Xiao Lin, you..."
Xiao Yi Xian took the sleeping Qing Lin into her arms. As she gazed at the terrifyingly vast fluctuations of Dou Qi in the distance, worry rose in her eyes.
"Don't worry."
Dou Qi Transformation into Wings suddenly unfurled behind Xiao Lin, and he shot toward the battlefield like a meteor.
Beneath the moonlight, Xiao Yi Xian watched his figure recede until he finally vanished amid the skyful of blazing Dou Qi.
"I wish to borrow your Purple Spirit Crystal, Lion King!"
High in the sky, a mysterious woman's beautiful eyes fixed on the Amethyst Winged Lion King. Her red lips parted slightly, and her calm voice rang out as clear and melodious as pearls falling onto a jade platter.
A plain dress wrapped her voluptuous figure, and she held an azure longsword. Her dark hair was swept up beneath a noble Phoenix Hairpin, her lovely face serene and composed.
"Purple Spirit Crystal? My Amethyst Winged Lion clan can shed only a tiny piece from our bodies every twenty years. Do you think you can have it simply because you ask?"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King found her request laughable and could not resist mocking her.
Its enormous body measured a full seven or eight meters in length. A layer of purple crystals covered its surface, gleaming dazzlingly beneath the sunlight.
"I can exchange something you need for it."
The mysterious woman seemed wary of this notoriously fearsome Sixth-Rank Magical Beast as well, so her tone was not forceful.
"An exchange? Heh, fine! I happen to be at the transformation stage lately. If you can get me a Seventh-grade Transformation Pill, I'll give you the Purple Spirit Crystal. How about it?"
At her words, the Amethyst Winged Lion King burst into laughter, the purple light between its brows flickering violently.
Yet its apparent teasing of this female Dou Emperor concealed another purpose.
Anyone listening carefully could have detected a trace of barely restrained urgency and fervor in its voice.
Hearing the Amethyst Winged Lion King's demand, the mysterious Dou Emperor knitted her delicate brows slightly. Then she shook her head and said softly:
"A Transformation Pill... I doubt anyone in the entire Jia Ma Empire could produce something like that..."
"However, if you're willing, I can offer three fifth-tier magic cores, along with a High Xuan Tier cultivation method and Dou Technique suitable for you. What do you think?"
"Not interested. If you can't produce a Transformation Pill, leave the Magical Beast Mountain Range."
Shaking its enormous head, the Amethyst Winged Lion King opened and closed its huge jaws slightly, rejecting the mysterious woman's terms without hesitation. Clear disappointment actually appeared in its massive leonine eyes.
Its longing for a Transformation Pill was not merely born of a desire to break through...
Several years ago, the Amethyst Winged Lion King had awakened from a slumber to discover that a wisp of extremely mysterious purple qi had somehow appeared within its body-
That purple qi was unfathomably profound, seemingly containing a power that transcended the laws of the Dou Qi Continent.
It could sense that, if it refined that qi for its own use, the evolution it gained would exceed anything it could imagine!
Yet no matter what it tried, it could not fully absorb and merge with it. It could only perceive the elusive aura released as the qi stirred, as though this magical beast body simply could not bear energy of such a level.
Thus, its desperate desire for a Transformation Pill was not merely about breaking through to the Seventh Rank and taking human form. More than anything, it stemmed from its intense yearning for that miraculous purple qi seed!
"Ah..."
With a soft sigh, the woman slowly raised the unusual longsword in her hand and said helplessly, "In that case, I can only take it by force!"
"Hahaha! Humans! You're always like this, greedy and selfish!"
Seeing the mysterious woman's actions, the Amethyst Winged Lion King let out a peal of laughter that shook the earth.
After a while, its laughter gradually subsided, but its voice grew colder. "I know you're a Dou Huang expert too, but if we truly fight, whether you can leave the Magical Beast Mountain Range alive is another matter."
"You needn't trouble yourself over that, Lion King."
Responding indifferently, the mysterious woman lightly raised her slender hand. A small azure whirlwind suddenly appeared in the sky.
At first, the whirlwind was only two meters across. Moments later, however, it swelled with the wind, becoming a massive tornado dozens of meters across in the blink of an eye.
"Hmph! The Magical Beast Mountain Range isn't human territory. You have no right to run wild here!"
Watching the ever-expanding tornado, the Amethyst Winged Lion King barked out a rebuke. A deep, mournful roar echoed from its enormous jaws throughout the mountain range.
[Target: Amethyst Winged Lion King] [Cultivation: Peak Sixth-Rank Magical Beast] [Fortuitous opportunity: Primordial Purple Qi Seed (incomplete; unmerged)] [Fortune value: 377]
Even though the Amethyst Winged Lion King hasn't broken through yet, its combat strength should be considerably greater than in the original timeline...
Isn't this opportunity a little too big? I wonder whether this little lion can handle it.
Yun Yun's in some danger.
As the lion's roar rang out, the amethyst crystals covering the Amethyst Winged Lion King's body blazed with light.
In the blink of an eye, surging purple flames erupted from its body, churning and seething before gathering into an enormous pillar of purple fire that shot straight into the heavens!
Even hundreds of kilometers away, the scorching heat left a certain distant figure drenched in sweat.
"Teacher, with an aura that terrifying, are you sure we should go join the excitement? I feel like one careless move would get me slapped to death by that magical beast..."
"Hmph! Shortsighted brat. With this old man protecting you, a mere Sixth-Rank Magical Beast and a Dou Emperor won't harm a hair on your head."
"I originally intended to bring you to the Magical Beast Mountain Range to gain experience fighting for your life in real combat. I never expected we'd stumble upon a battle between Dou Emperors."
"Once their fierce battle ends with both sides badly wounded, we'll take advantage of the chaos and slaughter that lion! I'll use the same method to help you extract its sixth-rank beast flame. Combined with the two fifth-tier beast fires you devoured earlier, it might even advance your Flame Mantra by another minor stage!"
Yao Chen's voice resounded in Xiao Yan's mind, instantly lifting his spirits!
Several days earlier, Yao Chen had used the Heaven-Tier Dou Technique Possession to help Xiao Yan track down a Fifth-Order Netherflame Leopard and a Fifth-Order Azureflame Eagle in succession.
Since his soul was now at its peak and still growing stronger, Yao Chen did not begrudge expending his Soul Force in the slightest.
Under the control of his immense Soul Force, he had successfully extracted their innate flames from within their bodies and let Xiao Yan devour them one by one.
By now, Xiao Yan's strength had already reached the astonishing level of a seven-star Dou Master!
