Chapter 81: Yun Yun
Hearing the violent roar of a lion, Mo Yu's expression froze. He stared intently at the distant sky, where the powerful energy surge originated.
"That's the roar of the sixth-tier magical beast, the Amethyst Winged Lion King. Could it be...?" Realizing something, Mo Yu quickly turned his gaze towards the source of the roar.
High in the blue sky, intense energy fluctuations echoed like rolling thunder, even though Mo Yu was quite far from the battlefield.
His eyes locked onto the distant horizon, where the sky was painted in blue and red hues, almost covering half the heavens. Even the lazy white clouds were tinged with these colors.
As another thunderous sound rumbled through the air, Mo Yu became more certain. "Is it Yun Yun? There aren't many in the entire Jia Ma Empire who could threaten the Amethyst Winged Lion King. If the story is following its original path, then that person must be Yun Yun!"
Mo Yu still remembered a bit about Yun Yun's background. At this time, she was ranked third among the top ten strongest in the Jia Ma Empire, with the formidable power of a three-star Dou Emperor. She was also the ninth generation leader of the Yun Lan Sect and the teacher of Nalan Yanran, who was trained by Yun Shan, the eighth-generation sect leader.
After Xiao Yan destroyed the Yun Lan Sect later in the story, Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran left the Jia Ma Empire and joined the Flower Sect in Central Plains, where Yun Yun served as an elder. Through a stroke of luck, Yun Yun received the lifelong Dou Qi of the Flower Sect's leader, Hua Yu, elevating her to the level of a Dou Venerate. With Xiao Yan's help, Yun Yun defeated Hua Jin, the acting leader, and became the new leader of the Flower Sect.
However, because of Mo Yu's interference, the connection between Xiao Yan and Yun Yun had been severed, so how her story would unfold was now unknown.
"I recall Yun Yun wanted to obtain the Amethyst Essence from the Amethyst Winged Lion King, but this sixth-tier magical beast isn't one to be trifled with. Even though Yun Yun is one of the top three fighters in the Jia Ma Empire, without Xiao Yan's intervention, things could go badly for her," Mo Yu thought as he focused on the fierce energy fluctuations in the distance.
Mo Yu had no intention of getting involved in the battle. Although he had escaped from a Dou Grandmaster, the mere aftermath of a battle between Dou Emperors could severely injure him.
However, great risks often come with great rewards. Although he didn't have Yao Lao secretly protecting him like Xiao Yan did in the original story, Mo Yu had various extraordinary techniques of his own. If Yun Yun ended up struggling against the Amethyst Winged Lion King, Mo Yu could potentially join forces with her and secure some of the benefits for himself.
Mo Yu knew that apart from the Amethyst Essence, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cave also held a highly valuable item known as the Amethyst Source.
The Amethyst Source is a rare product sometimes born alongside the Lion King's cubs. It contains immense pure energy due to its long stay within the Lion King's body. When consumed by a four-star magical beast, it could directly elevate it to a five-star level.
If Mo Yu could obtain the Amethyst Source and feed it to his Vermilion Bird Scorching Sky Lightning, it might allow him to break through to the Dou Master level, possibly even advancing more than one star.
With this in mind, Mo Yu's resolve hardened. The next moment, his Purple Cloud Wings sprang forth from his back. After reaching the nine-star Fighter level, the wings had grown slightly longer and stronger than before.
With a gentle flap of the wings, Mo Yu's body lifted into the air. After another flap, he shot toward the battlefield at low altitude, doing his best to conceal his presence.
Flying just above the treetops, Mo Yu moved swiftly. After about ten minutes, he finally neared the battlefield. The intense energy surges in the sky made his expression serious. The power of a Dou Emperor was still far beyond his reach.
Stopping about several dozen meters from the battlefield, Mo Yu hid behind the cover of the dense forest and climbed to the top of a towering tree. From this vantage point, he could clearly see both sides of the battle in the sky.
His eyes first landed on the Amethyst Winged Lion King. The beast was enormous, with a body several hundred meters long, covered in a layer of purple crystal. The sunlight reflecting off the crystals made them gleam brightly, almost blindingly so.
The Lion King had a menacing lion's head with blood-red eyes that glowed with a strange purple light, and a massive mouth filled with sharp fangs. Atop its head was a fiery red spiral horn, around which purple flames swirled. Its huge body bore a pair of purple wings and four thick paws.
The massive beast stood in the air, an invisible pressure radiating down from the sky, making Mo Yu even more cautious.
"A sixth-tier magical beast core… If only I could get my hands on it," Mo Yu thought with a glint of greed in his eyes as he stared at the beast, which radiated terrifying fiery energy.
If the Vermilion Bird Scorching Sky Lightning could absorb the Amethyst Winged Lion King's magic core, it might immediately advance from its early stage to its mature stage, and possibly even beyond. At that point, after absorbing the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Flame, the lightning would reach its peak, becoming the first complete Profound Lightning under Mo Yu's control on the Dou Qi Continent.
Shaking his head at his somewhat fanciful thoughts, Mo Yu turned his attention to the person battling the Lion King.
"That must be Yun Yun. She really is a beautiful woman," Mo Yu muttered, rubbing his chin as his gaze lingered on her curvaceous figure.
Dressed in a simple yet elegant gown that hugged her full figure, Yun Yun held a long sword that emitted a faint blue light. Her long, black hair was styled into a noble phoenix-shaped bun, and her serene, beautiful face exuded an air of calm and dignity. A pair of blue wings, slightly translucent and formed from her Dou Qi, extended from her back.
"Indeed, she has an incredibly calm demeanor," Mo Yu murmured as he observed the woman in the sky, her expression as serene as ever.
Her beautiful eyes were as calm as a tranquil lake, seemingly unshaken by anything. Such a person was like the white clouds in the sky—lazy and indifferent, yet possessing a wisdom and composure that looked down upon all things.
