Half a month passed quickly, and during this time, Liu Yu stumbled upon a secluded, naturally formed cave. Nearby, a waterfall and stream flowed, and the area was largely devoid of magical beasts, making it a suitable temporary residence.
So, Liu Yu settled in to relax, spending his free time searching for herbs, refining elixirs, entertaining Xiao Qi, and crafting necklaces. It was a delight!
During this time, he heard the angry roar of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, presumably realizing its companion amethyst source was gone...
Of course, he didn't forget his business. He summoned Queen Medusa and presented her with the amethyst necklace he had crafted, personally fitting her in.
He then explained the purpose of the technique he was about to teach her and taught her the contents of the "Pei Yuan Jue."
To Liu Yu's surprise, his queen simply listened quietly, not delving into the technique's origins. Finally, she gave him a deep look before vanishing into a radiant light.
But Liu Yu felt a sense of unease, feeling that this was the calm before the storm...
Afterward, Liu Yu rewarded himself with a bottle of Companion Amethyst Source, successfully breaking through to the Dou Wang realm. He had only obtained seven bottles of Companion Amethyst Source from the purple sphere.
He could have broken through to the Dou Wang realm soon without it, but he simply wanted to experience its flavor...
After all, he had three cultivation techniques constantly operating independently within his body, and the most underwhelming was the Earth-rank intermediate "Divine Flame Art." But that was compared to the "Myriad Aspects Divine Art" and "Source Cultivation Art."
Thinking of this level of cultivation, Liu Yu felt a sense of distress. Logically, with his astonishing cultivation speed and exceptional talent, and having consumed the Earth Fire Lotus Seeds, he should have broken through to the Dou Wang realm long ago, but he hadn't.
Sensing the Dou Qi reserves within his body, which far exceeded those of his peers by dozens of times, Liu Yu sighed softly. It seemed he would have to seek out more advanced cultivation techniques in the future.
Feeling the overwhelming Dou Qi in his body, Liu Yu felt the need to find some magical beasts to practice with.
Oh, I don't want to either, Big Flying Lion, I'll have to let you down! Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Without hesitation, Liu Yu directly used his Dou Qi to transform into wings, and a pair of huge blood-red wings stretched out behind Liu Yu!
Fly! Liu Yu couldn't help but feel a little emotional. After spending many years in this Dou Qi continent, he was also a man who could fly!
As his wings fluttered, Liu Yu's figure turned directly into a stream of blood-red light and flew towards the depths of the eastern part of the Magic Beast Mountain Range.
The surging Dou Wang aura raged towards the mountain where the Amethyst Winged Lion King was. This time, Liu Yu did not conceal his aura, and the Amethyst Winged Lion King naturally sensed the aura of a human Dou Wang, but had no intention of moving. If the Dou Wang asked him to do it himself, what use would he have to have his men!
"Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar!"
Three fifth-tier monsters appeared in the path of the blood-red light, and then three different-colored energy beams blasted towards Liu Yu.
"Tsk!" Liu Yu chuckled softly, and a terrifying fire-attributed energy converged above him. Instantly, a crystal-clear, crimson, sky-shattering finger condensed.
"Mountain-Smashing Finger!"
Liu Yu lightly tapped his finger downward, and the giant finger suddenly pressed down, crushing the three energy beams with overwhelming force. Undeterred, it crushed the three fifth-tier monsters!
These three fifth-tier monsters were battle-hardened beings. Though surprised by the ease with which their attacks were shattered, they recovered instantly and unleashed ever-more powerful attacks.
"Bang!"
The collision of immense energies created a resounding roar.
"Flame Spear!"
A playful voice suddenly echoed between heaven and earth. A blood-red spear several meters long, clashing with energy, instantly struck the fifth-tier monster in the center, killing it instantly!
At that moment, a dazzling, enormous pillar of purple flame slammed into the blood-red spear. The two attacks melted away, finally dissipating between heaven and earth.
Did he really strike? Liu Yu's expression remained unchanged. He'd learned this killer combo from the Serpent People, where Sister Hua She'er and the eight chiefs took turns serving as his sparring partners. He was arguably the best treatment among the Serpent People!
Especially Mobas. He appeared "affable" to him, even surpassing him by a realm during their sparring. But he was truly merciless! Each move pelted him in the face, but the effect was astonishing. His combat experience had vastly improved under Mobas' sparring.
Alas, what a shame! When he was injured, Sister Hua She'er applied medicine to him, and sometimes even Queen Medusa herself. Unlike some people... (Mobas: ...)
His thoughts raced, and Liu Yu looked ahead. A massive creature appeared in the sky. It was the Amethyst Winged Lion King!
At that moment, its ferocious maw opened, and human language uttered in a resounding voice: "Human, how dare you attempt to kill my men!"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King was also shocked by the strength of the human before him. Judging from his aura, he looked like a mere low-level Dou Wang, but that final blow possessed the power of a peak Dou Wang!
He had been hiding in the shadows, ready to strike since he sensed the first attack, and the second attack was enough to easily destroy his fifth-level monsters!
The Amethyst Winged Lion King thought, glancing angrily at the three fifth-level monsters below him. They were truly useless. He, the king of the Monster Mountain Range, always had to personally deal with things!
"Get out of here! You're embarrassing yourself by staying here!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King was furious at the three fools who remained there, bewildered. The previous burglary was already frustrating enough, and now this had to happen again.
The three fifth-level monsters left, feeling aggrieved at the roar.
"Don't be angry, Lion King! It's not that your men are useless, it's that I'm too strong, haha!" Liu Yu laughed arrogantly, challenging him.
"Roar!"
How could the Amethyst-Winged Lion King tolerate this? He launched an attack with a swift swing of his giant head, and the red spiral horns on his head shot out a huge purple flame half a meter thick.
The blazing purple flames rushed towards Liu Yu, leaving him puzzled. Playing with fire?
A raging Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire surged from Liu Yu's body, completely devouring the incoming purple flames! The cyan flames then transformed into a small, several-meter-long blue dragon, which hovered over Liu Yu and licked him affectionately, quite intelligently.
"Strange Fire!"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King's eyes, once filled with murderous intent, regained clarity and suddenly shrank. Even as a sixth-rank fire-attributed magical beast, he sensed a fiery aura of destructive power from the dragon formed from the condensed blue flames!
"Human, who are you? What is your purpose in coming to this Magic Beast Mountain Range? Wouldn't it be better to be a distinguished alchemist in the human world? Do you have to come to me and seek death?"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King's expression was solemn. He had already mistaken the human before him for a noble alchemist and was warily observing his surroundings, for he had heard that alchemists were always surrounded by powerful individuals for protection.
"Don't worry, I'm all alone here," Liu Yu kindly explained, as if understanding the Amethyst Winged Lion King's concerns.
"Human, as long as you leave the Demonic Beast Mountains now, I will forgive your disrespect to this king!"
the Amethyst Winged Lion King declared gravely. Ultimately, he decided to avoid further trouble. The human before him was too mysterious, and he wasn't 100% sure he could keep him. If he let him escape, with the alchemist's terrifying appeal, he'd have no peace of mind.
"Oh, really? Even if I took your Companion Amethyst Source and Purple Spirit Crystal..." Liu Yu looked at the Amethyst Winged Lion King with a certain "joy," turning to leave.
"Human, you're courting death!"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King was utterly enraged! He didn't care if he was an alchemist or anything else! This human before him must die!
His amethyst scales glowed with a vibrant purple light, and in the blink of an eye, a raging purple flame erupted from his body. The purple flames gradually curled and swirled, finally converging into a massive purple pillar that charged straight at Liu Yu.
"Great Flying Lion, why don't you learn your lesson?" The small Azure Dragon hovering over Liu Yu instantly grew larger, its maw wide open, and swooped down towards the purple pillar of fire.
Without a doubt, once the strange fire appeared, all other fires submitted!
The purple pillar of fire became the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire's rations. Even after devouring it, the Azure Dragon, transformed from the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, gazed expectantly at the Amethyst Winged Lion King, as if to say, "Delicious, I want more!"
Seeing the purple fire's attack ineffective, the Amethyst Winged Lion King flashed, its pupils gleaming with purple light. Its massive claws suddenly radiated a brilliant purple light and slashed fiercely at Liu Yu.
Close combat? Liu Yu's bloody wings fluttered slightly, and he instantly disappeared from the Amethyst Winged Lion King's attack range. After retracting the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, a blood-red spear instantly formed in his hand and, with lightning speed, pierced the Amethyst Winged Lion King's body.
"Ding!" A crisp sound echoed through the air, leaving only a white mark on the amethyst armor. Instead, a small ball of fire-attributed Dou Qi clung to the armor.
"Roar!"
the Amethyst Winged Lion King roared in pain, feeling as if a flame were burning through his armor. Purple flames surged from his body, covering the Dou Qi.
The effects of the Divine Flame Art were evident! Liu Yu chuckled. While the Divine Flame Art required rigorous training, if mastered, it could be quite effective, especially in terms of disgusting people! He really liked it!
Although you're weak and can't directly penetrate your defense, my attacks have a burning effect, and will eventually break through your armor!
Just as the Amethyst Winged Lion King was distracted by releasing purple flames to obliterate the Dou Qi, Liu Yu attacked again.
Witnessing the strangeness of Liu Yu's Dou Qi, the Amethyst Winged Lion King had no choice but to dodge. Despite his massive size, his speed was terrifying, and he easily dodged the attack.
Liu Yu and the Amethyst Winged Lion King exchanged blows in the air, and for a moment, the outcome remained uncertain.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Terrifying energy waves echoed through the air, sending the monsters of the Monster Mountain Range fleeing to safety.
The battle raged on in the sky, as the sun had already faded from midday to the setting sun.
The purple behemoth looked utterly miserable. Though it had suffered no substantial damage, its body was covered in charred patches.
Meanwhile, Liu Yu strolled leisurely, clad in a pale purple brocade robe, spotless.
But this was only superficial; his internal condition was far from optimistic. His vast Dou Qi reserves were now less than 20% reduced!
He was, after all, only a one-star Dou Wang. He had relied on his inherent burning Dou Qi and strange fire to fight for so long against a sixth-tier monster like the Amethyst Winged Lion King, comparable to a mid-level Dou Huang. It was impressive, indeed. The
Amethyst Winged Lion King clearly still had some energy left. Even if his Dou Qi was depleted, he could still fight with his physical body. Any further losses would surely lead to his defeat!
Now that he is familiar with some of the Dou Wang's power, the best strategy is to run away! When his Dou Qi recovers, he will come back to "punch in" and continue the "Imperial City PK" with the Amethyst Winged Lion King. Anyway, this big flying lion will not run away.
"Lion King, thank you for your 'hospitality', I'll leave first!"
As soon as the voice fell, Liu Yu turned into a stream of blood and disappeared into the depths of the Warcraft Mountains.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King just watched Liu Yu leave quietly, even though he knew that the human was the thief who had stolen from his house before! But he did not choose to chase him. He was really tired, especially his heart was tired!
That human was arguably the most disgusting enemy he had ever encountered! He would rather fight with a Dou Huang than encounter this disgusting thing again! He couldn't
hit or touch him, and his Dou Qi reserves were even more astonishing, as if they were endless. What annoyed him most was the burning effect that came with the strange fire and the human's Dou Qi!
