In the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

A figure was searching for something on the steep cliffs. He had already maximized his Spiritual Sensing Ability, completely enveloping the steep cliff, but ultimately found nothing.

"This isn't right. There are only so many cliffs in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and I've already searched all of them. Why can't I find it?"

This figure was none other than Soul Changqing. At this moment, Yao Chen had already begun refining a Seventh-Rank Pill - the Profound Yin Pill - suitable for him.

This pill was originally not for human consumption but for those cold-attribute magical beasts to enhance their fighting qi. For example, the Nine Nether Green Serpent of the three major magical beast clans often sought this pill from the Pill Tower.

The energy within this pill was extremely terrifying, and only the robust bodies of magical beasts could perfectly absorb it. Human bodies could not withstand the energy contained within the pill at all.

When Yao Chen mentioned this pill to him, he looked at Soul Changqing with concern, fearing that Soul Changqing might not be able to handle it and suggested he choose another one.

However, Soul Changqing laughed and assured Yao Chen that as long as it was yin energy, no matter how fierce it was, it would behave in his body. This put Yao Chen at ease to refine the pill.

By now, Yao Chen had been refining the pill for about three days, and it would be ready in another two days. The day the pill was completed would be the day Soul Changqing broke through to the Battle Ancestor realm. Due to his boredom, Soul Changqing had come to the Demon Beast Mountain Range, intending to take away all of Xiao Yan's opportunities.

However, after searching the cliffs roughly, Soul Changqing found not even a shadow of a cave, which greatly troubled him.

"Sigh, forget it. I came here to ruin things, so it doesn't matter if I can't find it. The treasures in that cave, though extremely valuable to Xiao Yan at this stage and could help him rise quickly, won't be a problem as long as I keep a close eye on him. I don't have to worry about him escaping my grasp."

Soul Changqing thought helplessly, then got up and flew toward the center of the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

After another round in the center of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, Soul Changqing was already at a loss for words.

"Am I really unable to find the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King? Are you kidding me? A massive Sixth-Rank magical beast, the ruler of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and I can't find it? There must be something wrong here."

Soul Changqing was getting angry. He didn't believe that he couldn't find a cave on the cliff, let alone a massive ruler of the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

Soul Changqing directly maximized his soul perception and unleashed his Peak Dou Huang (Martial Emperor) Aura of Suppression without reservation, with a strong invasive intent. Soul Changqing was provoking the entire Demon Beast Mountain Range!

Everywhere Soul Changqing went, Fifth-Rank and lower magical beasts were pressed to the ground by his aura, while Fifth-Rank magical beasts could barely stand, trembling and not daring to move.

"Roar!"

Finally, a thunderous lion roar echoed not far from Soul Changqing!

Facing a human who was provoking the entire Demon Beast Mountain Range, the ruler of the Demon Beast Mountain Range naturally could not bear it any longer. When pushed to the limit, there was no need to endure further.

It turned out that when Soul Changqing was searching for the cave, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was nearby and accidentally sensed Soul Changqing.

Feeling the deep and terrifying aura from Soul Changqing, it sensed that this terrifying human would come to cause trouble soon.

Considering its children, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King decided to avoid this human. However, after hiding, this human directly provoked the entire Demon Beast Mountain Range.

It couldn't bear it anymore! The dignity of the ruler of the Demon Beast Mountain Range would not be trampled by a mere human!

Soul Changqing, hearing the roar of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, finally smiled and instantly appeared before it.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King looked at the human before it, filled with rage, and growled, "Roar, human! You should die..."

Before the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King could finish, Soul Changqing had already moved.

He had already killed countless Sixth-Rank magical beasts and had no interest in conversing with such a Sixth-Rank magical beast.

If he had to talk to every human or magical beast he killed, he would be exhausted.

A flash of blue light passed over Soul Changqing's forehead, and a thin stream of water, as if alive, surrounded him.

Soul Changqing waved his hand, and the water instantly split into several exquisite small swords, slowly rotating around him. Then he pointed at the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Several whistling sounds came, and the small swords shot toward the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King in an instant.

"Wh... Despicable human! Purple Crystal Flame Cannon!"

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, seeing that Soul Changqing didn't even want to talk to it and directly attacked, felt immense humiliation and unleashed its strongest attack in anger.

It opened its mouth, and terrifying fire-attribute fighting qi gathered inside. The ground began to shake, and the air was filled with scorching heat.

The surrounding trees, due to the intense heat, lost their moisture and withered instantly. All nearby animals and magical beasts could not withstand the heat and began to flee.

Finally, a terrifying purple energy sphere appeared in the mouth of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, which it then spat toward Soul Changqing.

The purple sphere transformed into a terrifying energy beam, wrapped in scorching fire-attribute fighting qi, and shot toward the small swords released by Soul Changqing.

In the blink of an eye, the two attacks met.

"Swish!"

There was no expected violent explosion from the collision of the two energies, just a crisp sword sound.

Soul Changqing's small swords instantly extinguished the energy beam upon contact, transforming it back into natural energy and disappearing into the air.

The small swords, having extinguished the beam, did not pause and continued to shoot straight toward the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's eyes widened in disbelief. This attack had been powered by almost all of its fighting qi and had been so easily extinguished by the human's attack.

Although it knew there was a significant gap between them, it never expected such a large difference! Its eyes were filled with unwillingness, anger, and resentment.

...

"Roar~"

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King let out a final mournful roar and fell under Soul Changqing's water swords. A purple flame slowly rose from its corpse.

Soul Changqing approached and took out a silver-white stone from his Storage Ring.

"Fortunately, Yao Chen gave me a Spirit Storage Stone before I left, which can be used to store flames. Otherwise, this Beast Fire would have been wasted."

Soul Changqing neatly stored the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's Beast Fire into the Spirit Storage Stone, then put the corpse and everything else into his Storage Ring before heading toward the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's cave.
