Battle Through the Heavens: The Rock King Emperor's Leisurely Wanderings in the Mortal World

Chapter 52 Amethyst Seal

"Why go through all this trouble?" Zhong Li had barely finished speaking when he lightly raised his wrist and then suddenly clenched his fist.

In an instant, the temperature inside the cave plummeted, in the blink of an eye! The blood inside the little amethyst beast, which was still in a slumber, was instantly frozen.

As Zhongli slowly opened his palm, countless bright red cone-shaped ice crystals burst forth from the little amethyst beast's body.

Upon closer inspection, the sleeping appearance of the little amethyst beast was no longer there; instead, there were scattered chunks of flesh and blood ice crystals radiating cold air.

And all of this happened in just one second.

"Oh wow, that's impressive, old man. I almost forgot you're still the God of Water and the God of Ice."

"Water and ice are inherently intertwined and inseparable. However, there is much to consider when it comes to their skillful use. Such a delicate matter can be accomplished by the power of the Water God alone, but the power of the Ice God can also stand alone and achieve it with ease."

"Hey, that's great, Thai pants hot!!" Wendy couldn't help but exclaim.

"Oh? You like it? When you separate the Heart of the Wind God, I will be able to control the Hearts of the other five gods and give you a portion of the origin of the God's Heart," Zhongli said unhurriedly.

"No, no, no, I don't want that! In this world, my own power is already sufficient. Besides, if you give me the power of the five gods, I'm too lazy to study how to use and apply divine power. Wouldn't that be a waste? I'd rather spend that time enjoying a few more cups of fine wine."

"You're just a drunkard."

"Hiss hiss hiss..." Wendy slowly licked her lips, the sound seemingly filled with endless longing, as if she were expressing her craving for fine wine.

Zhong Li knew perfectly well that Wendy's appearance was not due to hunger, but rather because she was purely tempted by the mellow aroma of the wine and couldn't resist the temptation.

As Zhongli chatted leisurely, he bent down and gently picked up the five purple spirit crystals that emitted a mysterious light from the small pit. Then, with practiced ease, he carefully stored four of them in the Lock of the Mortal World for safekeeping. Next, he picked up the last one and forcefully inserted it into the honeycomb-shaped sphere that was suspended above the cliff.

In an instant, with the insertion of the amethyst crystal, the accompanying amethyst source within the sphere seemed to gush forth like a spring, flowing out continuously.

Zhongli knew that a precious item like the Accompanying Amethyst Source was best contained in a jade container. However, at this moment, he neither carried such a container nor had the habit of doing so. After all, Zhongli always traveled light, disdaining even to carry money, so why would he want to be burdened by those cumbersome bottles and jars?

However, Zhongli did not dwell on this matter. With a slight thought, the Lock of the Mortal World flew swiftly like a serpent to the bottom of the large sphere with perfect accuracy.

The accompanying amethyst source flowed down continuously, yet not a single drop spilled onto the ground. Instead, it all gathered on the Lock of the Mortal World, as if gently received by an invisible force.

When the accompanying amethyst source came into contact with the Lock of the Mortal World, it did not produce any splashes, but instead penetrated directly into the internal space of the Lock of the Mortal World, just like a drop of water returning to the sea, natural and harmonious.

After all the associated amethyst sources were integrated into the Lock of the Mortal World, Zhongli gently waved his hand, and divine power surged, tightly enveloping the associated amethyst sources within the Lock of the Mortal World, ensuring that its energy did not dissipate and remained as stable as ever.

However, what the two gods overlooked was that the accompanying amethyst source contained extremely powerful energy, and nearly 80% of the heat in the entire cave originated from the accompanying amethyst source in this small sphere.

Therefore, when the accompanying amethyst source at the center of the cave was completely absorbed by the Lock of the Mortal World, the temperature of the entire mountain dropped significantly in an instant. As a result, the amethyst winged lion king quickly sensed the anomaly within the cave.

Just then, Zhongli returned to the mountains behind the cave in the same way and happened to hear the deafening roar of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

"What a cunning human woman! So everything you did was a diversionary tactic! My Amethyst Crystal! My symbiotic Amethyst Source! You despicable human woman, I will tear you to pieces! I will kill you! I will kill you!!!"

Above the Monster Mountain Range, the deafening roar of the Amethyst Winged Lion King seemed to tear the sky apart.

While secretly admiring Zhong Li's swift action, Yun Yun also exerted all her fighting spirit to resist the thunderous and furious counterattack of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

"Once we avoid this fierce attack, we can start preparing to leave this place," Yun Yun thought to herself.

However, to everyone's dismay, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, who was currently in a state of rage, did not seem to be acting as Yun Yun had hoped.

"Amethyst Flame Lion Break!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King gathered all the purple flames in its body and suddenly spewed out a vast and boundless sea of ​​fire, which surged towards Yun Yun like a raging tide.

Yun Yun was momentarily stunned by the overwhelming power of the Amethyst Winged Lion King's move, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Wind Spirit Shield!"

Rank: Mid-level Xuan Rank.

However, just as the shield in front of Yun Yun seemed to perfectly withstand the onslaught of the sea of ​​fire, an ominous premonition suddenly surged into her heart.

"No! The Amethyst Winged Lion King, in its enraged state, cannot possibly have its attacks so easily resisted!"

Yun Yun's thoughts were suddenly drawn by some intuition, and her gaze instantly turned behind her. In that split second, a purple-white light streaked across the sky like a shooting star, landing precisely on Yun Yun's chest.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Amethyst Seal!" With this low shout, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's two incomparably sharp claw-like blades struck Yun Yun's chest as if they were real.

At this moment, two shocking scratch marks, dripping with blood, were now visible on Yun Yun's once snow-white and full chest, making it unbearable to look at.

"Pfft..." Yun Yun suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The claws of the Amethyst Winged Lion King were like giant axes. If it weren't for the protective soft armor she was wearing, Yun Yun, who had been caught off guard, would probably have been cut into several pieces by this fierce attack.

"Hmph!" Yun Yun thought bitterly, her fighting spirit dissipating like flowing water. She had to escape as soon as possible. She glared at the Amethyst Winged Lion King, then turned her head to spit out the blood in her mouth. She then gathered the last of her fighting spirit and rushed towards the complex terrain below the Monster Forest.

"Hey, old man, aren't you going to lend a hand?" Wendy asked with interest.

"Help! Of course we should help! These mere beasts that have only just awakened some intelligence dare to harm humans; they are truly audacious."

For Zhongli, all things in this world exist to be used by people.

Humans are the masters of this world. Treating other creatures with kindness is a compassionate act of humanity. But slaughtering, raising, or even using them is simply following the laws of nature and there is nothing wrong with it.

If these inhuman creatures dare to harm, kill, or even devour humans, they must be eliminated. Otherwise, they will leave behind enormous calamities with unimaginable consequences.
