Hearing the thunderous roar of a lion, Mu Yu's face stiffened, his eyes locked tightly on the distant sky, the origin of the violent energy.

"This is the roar of the sixth-rank magical beast, the Amethyst Winged Lion King. Could it be?" As this thought crossed his mind, Mu Yu quickly realized something and glanced toward the direction of the roar.

In the vast blue sky, turbulent energy waves continuously produced rumbling sounds like thunder. Even though Mu Yu was quite far from the battle, he could sense the intensity.

His eyes fixed on the distant horizon, where blue and red hues filled half the sky. Even the lazy white clouds were tinted with these two colors, glowing faintly.

Another thunderous boom echoed in his ears. Staring at the oppressive energy radiating from the sky, Mu Yu muttered with certainty, "It's Yun Yun. To be able to threaten a sixth-rank magical beast like the Amethyst Winged Lion King, there are only a handful of people in the entire Jia Ma Empire capable of that."

"If the plot is still following the original path, then without a doubt, this person must be Yun Yun!"

Mu Yu still remembered bits and pieces about Yun Yun's background. At this time, she was ranked third among the top ten experts of the Jia Ma Empire and held the formidable strength of a three-star Dou Huang. She was also the ninth-generation Sect Leader of the Yun Lan Sect and the mentor of Nalan Yanran, having been trained by Yun Shan, the eighth-generation Sect Leader of Yun Lan Sect.

Later, after Xiao Yan destroyed the Yun Lan Sect, Yun Yun and her disciple, Nalan Yanran, left the Jia Ma Empire and joined the Flower Sect in Central Plains, where Yun Yun became a guest elder. By a stroke of luck, Yun Yun was granted the lifetime dou qi of the Flower Sect's leader, Hua Yu. This allowed her to suddenly rise to the level of Dou Zun. With Xiao Yan's help, Yun Yun defeated the acting Sect Leader Hua Jin and became the new leader of the Flower Sect, taking full control.

Of course, since Mu Yu's presence had altered the timeline, Xiao Yan and Yun Yun would no longer cross paths. What would become of Yun Yun's future was now uncertain.

"I remember Yun Yun wanting the Amethyst Spirit Crystal from the Amethyst Winged Lion King. However, this sixth-rank magical beast is no pushover. Even with Yun Yun's strength as the third-ranked expert in the Jia Ma Empire, she nearly suffered a devastating defeat. If not for Xiao Yan's intervention, her fate would have been dire."

Watching the intense energy surges from afar, Mu Yu furrowed his brow. Even from this distance, he could feel the fierceness of the battle, thinking to himself.

He had no intention of interfering. Even if he could escape from a Da Dou Shi, a battle between Dou Huang-level experts was on another level entirely. The shockwaves alone could severely injure him.

But fortune comes with risk. Though he lacked Yao Lao's protection, Mu Yu had his own extraordinary methods. Recalling how Xiao Yan had gained tremendous benefits from this encounter, Mu Yu couldn't help but feel tempted.

If Yun Yun, as in the original story, failed to defeat the Amethyst Winged Lion King, Mu Yu figured he could team up with her and perhaps earn a share of the spoils.

Mu Yu knew that in the Amethyst Winged Lion King's lair, besides the Amethyst Spirit Crystal, there was also a highly valuable Amethyst Source.

The Amethyst Source was a rare item that the Lion King could produce during birth. There was only a tiny chance that it would be produced alongside its offspring.

This Amethyst Source contained vast and pure energy due to the long time it spent in the Lion King's body. When the offspring reached the fourth-rank level, consuming it would instantly evolve them into a fifth-rank magical beast.

If Mu Yu could obtain the Amethyst Source and give it to his Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder, it might allow him to break through the Dou Shi level, perhaps even by more than one star.

With this thought, Mu Yu licked his lips, determination filling his heart.

In the next moment, the Purple Cloud Wings behind Mu Yu spread out with a swish. After reaching the ninth-star Dou Zhe level, the wings had increased in size, gaining even more strength.

With a slight flutter of his wings, Mu Yu's body began to ascend into the air. His wings flapped again, propelling him swiftly toward the battlefield below.

At the same time, Mu Yu carefully restrained his aura to avoid detection.

Flying close to the treetops, Mu Yu advanced quickly. After more than ten minutes, he finally neared the battlefield. The oppressive energy waves from the battle in the sky made Mu Yu's face grow even more solemn.

A Dou Huang-level expert was still far beyond his reach at the moment.

Stopping several dozen meters away from the sky battle, Mu Yu hid within the cover of the massive forest. He climbed to the top of a towering tree, where he had a clear view of the combatants in the sky.

His gaze first fell on the Amethyst Winged Lion King. The magical beast was massive, with a body stretching hundreds of meters long, its surface covered in a layer of purple crystalline armor that sparkled dazzlingly under the sunlight.

The lion's head, though menacing in appearance, had an odd nobility about it. Its blood-red eyes flickered with strange purple light, and its mouth was filled with sharp fangs.

Atop its head was a spiral horn that glowed a fiery red, with purple flames dancing at its tip. Its enormous lion body was adorned with two purple wings and four thick claws.

The colossal beast stood tall in the sky, emitting an invisible pressure that made Mu Yu remain cautious.

"A sixth-rank magical beast's magic core… If only I could get my hands on that." Mu Yu's eyes glimmered with greed as he stared at the beast radiating terrifying fiery energy.

If his Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder could devour the magic core of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, it would likely be able to advance past its early stage into maturity or even its peak. Then, by devouring the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Flame, it could reach its final stage, becoming the first complete Thunder Soul Mu Yu would possess on the Dou Qi Continent!

Shaking his head at his own somewhat fanciful thoughts, Mu Yu shifted his focus to the person facing the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

"So that's Yun Yun? She's quite the beauty." His eyes roved over the graceful figure, and Mu Yu rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

She was clad in a simple dress that hugged her curvaceous form, holding an oddly shaped long sword that emitted a faint green glow. Her long hair was tied into a regal phoenix bun, and her serene and beautiful face exuded calm composure. Despite the simplicity of her dress, her noble and elegant aura was undeniable.

Behind Yun Yun, a pair of translucent green wings floated. These wings, formed purely from dou qi, flapped gently in the air.

"What a calm and collected woman," Mu Yu murmured, gazing at the woman in the sky.

Her beautiful eyes were as tranquil as a still lake, seemingly unbothered by the battle's intensity. Yun Yun possessed a serenity and wisdom that few could shake, much like a cloud high in the sky—appearing lazy and indifferent, yet with a quiet strength that could overlook all beneath her.
