Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 5: Dawn is the morning cloud, dusk is the passing rain.

Although Lin Ran's battle with the Amethyst Winged Lion King ended very quickly, it still woke up the sleeping Little Amethyst Winged Lion King.

When the Amethyst Winged Lion King confronted Lin Ran, the little lion bared its teeth at Lin Ran. But when it saw its master being instantly killed by Lin Ran with a single slap, the entire beast froze in shock.

Its originally ferocious, baring teeth turned into a whimpering, crouching motionless, too afraid to look at Lin Ran, its beastly eyes filled with terror.

Suddenly, the little amethyst winged lion king felt the world darken and subconsciously raised its head.

"Roar..."

That terrifying human was standing right in front of him, which made the little amethyst winged lion king tremble and take several steps back.

But after taking only two steps, he felt his vision go black and his consciousness faded away.

This little amethyst winged lion king is a juvenile amethyst winged lion king. Once it reaches adulthood, it can directly enter the sixth-tier magical beast realm, showing good potential.

Although he had directly killed the Amethyst Winged Lion King, leaving a seed of hatred in the little lion's heart, Lin Ran didn't care about it.

Master-servant contract, restriction mark, mind control...

He's not just a young man with strength but no substance; as the young sect leader of the Cloud Rain Sect, Lin Ran has plenty of methods.

Controlling this small third-tier magical beast is naturally not a problem.

"Huh, they actually have some hidden treasures?"

Because the storage ring doesn't hold living beings, Lin Ran used spatial power to lift the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. However, just as he was about to leave, he unexpectedly discovered something new.

It was in a corner of the cave, under a huge amethyst.

Several magic cores of fourth and fifth-tier magical beasts, and a number of rare medicinal herbs. Although their value was not particularly high, Lin Ran would not let them go since he had come across them.

With a wave of his hand, he took all of the Amethyst Winged Lion King's inventory.

After settling everything, Lin Ran took the little amethyst winged lion king and returned to the cave where Yun Yun was.

At this moment, Sect Master Yun was staring absentmindedly at the cave entrance, lost in thought.

Furthermore, since his cultivation was sealed, he didn't even notice Lin Ran when he returned to the cave.

Lin Ran didn't disturb her, but instead sat leisurely on the stone slab, watching the beautiful woman.

To be honest, some time ago, due to the side effects of the cultivation technique he was practicing, Lin Ran was able to directly touch Yun Yun without properly appreciating her.

Now that I've calmed down, it really has a unique charm.

Her eyes were like autumn water, and her eyebrows like distant mountains.

Although the noble phoenix hair ornament had long been lost to Lin Ran, her smooth black hair cascading over her shoulders, her beautiful and charming face calm and serene, and her fair and delicate body covered by her own black robe...

"What the hell was that bastard doing...?"

Yun Yun hugged herself and murmured to herself, then gave a self-deprecating laugh and shook her head: "What does it matter to me what he did? Yun Yun, you've been cultivating alone for so many years, how could you fall for a young man?"

"Besides, he's a lecherous opportunist who takes advantage of people in distress and ruins their reputation; he'd better never come back!"

"I should focus on cultivating as soon as possible and break the seal..."

Yun Yun murmured, her eyes filled with complex emotions—a mixture of hatred and love, worry and helplessness.

The sight of the beautiful woman looking at him with longing made Lin Ran's mouth water.

"You seem to be talking about me all the time."

Lin Ran hugged Yun Yun from behind. The beautiful woman in his arms trembled, but when she heard that familiar voice and smelled that familiar scent, she relaxed again.

"You lecherous scoundrel, I wish you were dead out there!"

Yun Yun retorted in a low voice.

"I see."

Lin Ran smiled slightly and turned Yun Yun around to face him.

"You're my prisoner now. Aren't you afraid I'll punish you for saying these things to my face?"

"Punishment, discipline?! Ah!"

Yun Yun's expression changed, and she let out a gasp.

……

At dawn they are the morning clouds, and at dusk they are the passing rain.

Lin Ran looked at Yun Yun, who was nearing her limit, and clicked her tongue.

This can't go on.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Ran reached out and touched her.

"No, I don't want it anymore..."

Yun Yun's weak voice carried a hint of pleading.

"What do you mean you don't want it? You do want it."

A powerful burst of battle qi erupted from Lin Ran's palm, surging in instantly and flowing forward along his meridians.

The Purple Crystal Seal of the Purple-Gold Winged Lion King uses the power of purple fire to seal away battle qi. Yun Yun's strength as a three-star Dou Huang was forcibly sealed away, turning her into an ordinary person.

This seal is extremely powerful, and it would take a lot of time for Yun Yun to break it on her own.

But for Lin Ran, it meant nothing.

The surge of such intense battle energy caused Yun Yun to let out a muffled groan, but she quickly noticed that the amethyst seal within her body was rapidly dissolving, like ice and snow melting away.

In just a few breaths, the amethyst seal within Yun Yun's body was completely broken, and the aura of a Dou Huang emanated from her body, instantly dispelling all the soreness and fatigue with her powerful Dou Qi.

The seal was broken, and the aura of a Dou Huang was released!

"What are you doing...?"

Feeling her power restored, Yun Yun stared wide-eyed at Lin Ran, as if asking, "Why did you help me break the seal?"

However, Lin Ran didn't say much, but let his actions speak for themselves.

……

About two hours later, the fierce battle between the powerful figures temporarily ended. Lin Ran stood up, stretched, and felt refreshed.

Yunyun's situation, however, is rather difficult to manage.

Even though Lin Ran had broken the seal on her body and restored her to the strength of a Dou Huang, her body still almost couldn't withstand the torment from Lin Ran's unleashed power.

It can only be said that he has the physique to be discovered by powerful figures like the Scorpion Demon Three Ghosts and immediately taken as a disciple.

A body of pure Yang energy—how terrifying!

"I remember you told me before that you came here for the Purple Spirit Crystal, right?" Lin Ran suddenly spoke up, as if he had thought of something.

"Um."

Yun Yun's voice was as soft as silk. She had come to the Monster Mountain Range to seek the Purple Spirit Crystal in order to help her disciple's cultivation breakthrough. She never expected that she would not only fail to obtain the Purple Spirit Crystal, but also lose her own people.

That's really true...

"Thump!"

The dull thud pulled Yun Yun back to reality. She subconsciously looked up and found a half-person-high purple spirit crystal suddenly appearing in front of her, emitting a soft purple light.

"this!"

Yun Yun's eyes widened: "This is a Purple Spirit Crystal?! How can it be so big?!"

"It's alright. The little lion's stock of purple spirit crystals was all piled up together, so I just brought them all back."

"This thing is only good for tempering the fighting spirit and fighting skills of fighters and masters. It's useless to me and takes up space. Since you need it, you can take it."

Lin Ran casually lit the campfire in front of him with his battle qi, then took out a piece of high-quality monster meat from his storage ring, brought it close to the fire, and started roasting it.

"The lion cub's inventory?!"

Lin Ran's words left Yun Yun speechless. If she wasn't mistaken, this little lion was the culprit who had turned her into this—the sixth-tier magical beast, the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

The treasure vault of the Amethyst Winged Lion King...

"You, you killed the Amethyst Winged Lion King?!"
