Battle Through The Heavens : I Am The Thunder Emperor

Chapter 90: The Beauty Departs

The third-tier magical beast, the Little Amethyst Winged Lion, was successfully subdued!

Seeing the small beast kneeling before him in submission, Mo Yu couldn't help but smile. The process had been challenging, but the outcome was exactly what he had hoped for.

Contracting the beast and planting a soul imprint in its beast soul hadn't been easy. If it weren't for Mo Yu's powerful and precise control over his soul force, coupled with the final aid of the Phoenix's might, success wouldn't have been guaranteed.

"Alright, now that I've got the Amethyst Source and the little beast, it's time to find the Amethyst Crystal," Mo Yu said. Pointing his Beast Ring at the small beast, a flash of bright white light enveloped the Little Amethyst Winged Lion, and its large form vanished instantly.

"This Beast Ring is really useful," Mo Yu muttered, touching the ring. He could sense the Little Amethyst Winged Lion lying calmly on a soft grassy field within the ring's internal space. The Beast Ring had its own environment, which could simulate various natural habitats suitable for magical beasts, making it an incredibly valuable tool.

With the little beast secured, Mo Yu continued deeper into the cave.

He pulled out the crystal that Yun Yun had given him, which had started to emit warmth. Holding it in his hand, he followed the temperature, guiding him through the cave filled with amethyst stones.

After some time, Mo Yu's steps halted near where the Little Amethyst Winged Lion had been lying earlier. He crouched down and began tapping lightly on several nearby amethyst stones.

When he tapped on one of the stones on the edge, a hollow sound echoed from below.

Hearing this, Mo Yu's face lit up with excitement. He quickly found the latch on the stone and opened it, releasing a burst of brilliant purple light.

After a moment, the light dimmed, and Mo Yu slowly opened his eyes. He peered into the small hole and saw an irregular, sharp purple crystal about the size of a fist, resting quietly inside.

"There you are, Amethyst Crystal!"

As the crystal appeared, the one in Mo Yu's hand became scorching hot, so he hurriedly put it back into his storage ring. Carefully, he retrieved the Amethyst Crystal from the small hole and stored it safely as well.

With the Amethyst Source, the Little Amethyst Winged Lion, and the Amethyst Crystal all in hand, Mo Yu's mission was complete. He turned to leave without hesitation.

However, just as he was about to sneak out of the cave, the Amethyst Winged Lion King unexpectedly returned. Its massive, bloodshot eyes locked onto Mo Yu, filled with terrifying rage and ferocity.

"Damn it! My son's aura has disappeared. Boy, you're dead!" As Mo Yu prepared to leave, a fierce purple flame surged from the sky above, accompanied by the Amethyst Winged Lion King's furious roar that echoed through the heavens.

"Oh no!" Seeing the purple flames, Mo Yu's face paled. The wrath of a sixth-tier magical beast was far beyond his current ability to withstand.

"Hmph."

At that moment, a soft snort rang out. Yun Yun suddenly appeared before Mo Yu, her delicate hand rotating slightly in the air. A violent azure tornado emerged around her, swirling fiercely and deflecting the oncoming purple flames.

"Run!" Yun Yun's voice echoed, and before Mo Yu could react, she had already grabbed him with one hand and retreated swiftly into the air.

Mo Yu felt a bit embarrassed by the situation but clung tightly to Yun Yun's slender waist, knowing he couldn't interfere in a battle between Dou Huangs.

As Mo Yu held on, Yun Yun's cool expression turned slightly red. However, there was no time for such thoughts as she focused on evading the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

While retreating rapidly, Yun Yun's strange sword danced in the air, drawing mysterious arcs. Suddenly, the sword trembled, and a cold command escaped from Yun Yun's lips.

"Wind Slash!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King in the sky let out a wary roar, its massive body diving towards them. Its huge head shook slightly as purple light once again filled the sky.

However, just as the Lion King prepared to unleash its full strength to counter Yun Yun's powerful attack, Yun Yun suddenly retracted her sword and, with a quick turn, vanished into the distant horizon with Mo Yu.

"Cunning humans! You've killed my son! I, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, will never forgive you!" Realizing it had been tricked, the Lion King reined in its power, and its roars of fury echoed through the mountains, long and resonant.

Hearing the Lion King's accusations of killing its son, Yun Yun glanced at Mo Yu with a hint of curiosity. However, seeing his calm expression, as if it had nothing to do with him, she decided to set aside her questions for now.

Yun Yun flew swiftly, carrying Mo Yu like a shooting star as they raced out of the demonic beast mountain range. After a while, they finally reached a secluded spot and descended slowly.

"Did you kill the Little Amethyst Winged Lion?" Yun Yun asked coldly as she set Mo Yu down.

The Little Amethyst Winged Lion was a formidable third-tier magical beast, one that even a seven- or eight-star Dou Shi (Battle Master) might struggle to defeat. Yun Yun was curious how Mo Yu had managed it.

Mo Yu didn't want to reveal his secret of contracting magical beasts, so he responded vaguely, "I didn't encounter the third-tier beast. Maybe it just wandered off somewhere."

Not wanting to dwell on the topic, Mo Yu quickly took out the Amethyst Crystal from his storage ring and handed it to Yun Yun.

As she gently caressed the smooth Amethyst Crystal, Yun Yun smiled at Mo Yu, saying, "Thank you."

Mo Yu waved his hand dismissively. "No need to thank me. I promised I'd help you."

With the task completed, an awkward silence fell between them. It was time to part ways.

"Now that I have the Amethyst Crystal, I should be leaving," Yun Yun whispered after a long pause.

"Mm." Mo Yu nodded, having anticipated this moment.

Yun Yun was the first woman he had met in this world, and as their separation approached, Mo Yu felt a sense of reluctance.

Yun Yun, too, felt a similar reluctance. Biting her lip gently, she glanced around cautiously before shyly whispering, "Close your eyes."

Mo Yu was momentarily stunned but did as she asked, closing his eyes.

Seeing his eyes shut, a blush spread across Yun Yun's cheeks. Her delicate fingers slowly untied her robe, and as her fingers moved down, her flawless, jade-like figure was exposed to the secluded forest.

Gracefully removing her clothing, Yun Yun carefully took off the pale blue metal inner armor, which glowed faintly with a strange light. Hastily, she put her robe back on, feeling a mix of shyness and urgency.

When Mo Yu opened his eyes again, Yun Yun was holding the armor in both hands.

"This Sea Heart Armor is made from a rare metal found inside the belly of a sixth-tier sea magical beast, the Three-Tailed Blue Whale. Its defense depends on its owner's strength. Although you're currently just a Dou Zhe, you seem close to breaking through to Dou Shi. When that happens, ordinary attacks from a Dou Shi won't easily harm you. This is my reward to you for all the help you've given me," Yun Yun said softly.

Mo Yu shook his head. "There's no need to be so formal between us. You should keep this valuable armor for yourself. Just remember our agreement in five years."

Seeing Mo Yu refuse, Yun Yun's eyes narrowed slightly, and she forcefully placed the armor in his arms, huffing, "Come talk to me about this when you've broken through to Dou Huang. I'm leaving now."

With that, Yun Yun gave Mo Yu a complex look, then stepped forward and lightly kissed his forehead. Her wings fluttered, and with an elegant leap, she soared into the sky.

A few moments later, the beauty disappeared from Mo Yu's sight, leaving him standing there, gazing into the distance...
