Friends in the group should help each other—Zhu Chen had no intention of refusing.
He turned his head and glanced at Huo Ling'er, who was immersed in comprehending the Suanni Treasure Technique, then activated the cross-realm function.
His figure vanished from the room in an instant.
At that very moment—
At the central altar of Stone Village, the charred wooden stake suddenly shimmered.
A woman dressed in a light willow-leaf robe, her figure graceful and ethereal, slowly opened her eyes.
Within the depths of her gaze, it was as though a boundless universe was being nurtured....galaxies turning, stars shining.
Faint golden Dao patterns surfaced in her pupils, radiating waves of Great Dao aura.
The woman gently lifted her eyes, her gaze falling upon the wooden house Zhu Chen had just left.
"His aura vanished completely… neither within the Eight Realms of the Lower World nor the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."
"Could he have gone to another world?"
…
Battle Through the Heavens World.
Deep within the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Zhu Chen used his interdimensional travel ability to appear directly in front of Xiao Yan.
"Holy crap, Brother Zhu—are you really a little kid?!"
This was the first time Xiao Yan had seen Zhu Chen in person, and he couldn't help blurting it out.
"Didn't Naruto already tell you?"
Zhu Chen rolled his eyes, clearly annoyed.
"Haha, I was just joking. Don't mind it,"
Xiao Yan said awkwardly, scratching his head.
Then his expression turned serious.
"By the way, Brother Zhu. Naruto said you showed some impressive combat strength back in his village.
But from what I saw, aside from those flashy ninjutsu, he doesn't really have anything too strong.
I want to confirm—can you deal with the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King? My teacher says its strength is comparable to a five- or six-star Dou Huang."
"It's hard to say," Zhu Chen replied honestly.
"By your Doupo world's standards, a Dou Huang already has city-destroying power.
That lion king also possesses sealing techniques, so it won't be easy to handle."
Many people underestimated the strength of a Dou Huang.
But Zhu Chen knew very clearly how terrifying that realm truly was.
For example, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong could easily freeze an entire city.
That was genuine city-level destructive power.
Zhu Chen had only opened two cave heavens so far.
Although his primordial spirit clone greatly enhanced his physical strength, allowing him to fight beyond his level—
Whether he could defeat the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was still uncertain.
Unless he merged with his primordial spirit clone again and unleashed the Law of Power with everything he had.
But that posed another problem.
His primordial spirit clone had only recently stabilized and was currently absorbing spiritual energy to refine that half-drop of Pangu's essence blood.
If he kept merging with it repeatedly, when would he ever finish refining the remaining essence blood?
Sigh… my cultivation is still too low,
Zhu Chen thought to himself.
If I were already at the Array Formation Realm or the Venerable Realm, a mere Dou Huang would be nothing—one finger would be enough.
His desire for strength grew stronger.
Seeing Zhu Chen's troubled expression, Xiao Yan frowned.
"Brother Zhu, we're all family here. Just tell me the truth. If you went all out against that Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, what are your chances?"
"If I go all out—about an eighty percent chance."
"Eighty percent?!"
Xiao Yan was stunned.
He had assumed Zhu Chen's odds were only twenty or thirty percent at best.
"Go for it!"
"If I had a twenty percent chance, I'd already fight. You've got eighty percent—if you don't act, that'd be unreasonable!"
At that moment, a cheerful voice suddenly came from the nearby forest.
Zhu Chen turned toward the sound.
A slender, handsome young man stepped out from the trees, brushing aside the leaves.
It was Lin Dong.
He had been waiting on another hill for Xiao Yan's signal and rushed over the moment Zhu Chen arrived.
"Brother, you came just in time—"
Xiao Yan was about to greet him.
But suddenly—
A deafening lion's roar echoed from a distant peak.
The entire mountain range trembled violently.
Explosive booms resounded, startling countless low-level magical beasts into fleeing in all directions.
"Oh no… could it be Brother Naruto is fighting the Amethyst Winged Lion King?"
Lin Dong's expression changed instantly.
At that exact moment, a message appeared in the chat group.
[Naruto: @Xiao Yan Something's wrong! Brother Xiao Yan, that female Dou Huang you mentioned before… she's here
[Xiao Yan: Damn it! Didn't I just transform into Nalan Jie and trick her away? How did she come back so fast?!]
Xiao Yan was completely dumbfounded.
He had read Battle Through the Heavens and knew that Yun Yun had also come to the Magical Beast Mountain Range to look for the Purple Spirit Crystal.
So before making a move against the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, he had first used the transformation technique he learned from Naruto to turn into Nalan Jie and主动 sought out Yun Yun.
Of course, at that time, Yao Lao had possessed him.
After all, Nalan Jie was a Dou Wang powerhouse who could fly.
If Yao Lao hadn't possessed him, he wouldn't have been able to fly at all.
Afterward, he used the identity of "Nalan Jie" to deceive Yun Yun, claiming that Nalan Yanran had suffered a cultivation deviation in the Yunlan Sect and was seriously injured.
No one in the sect—not even Pill King Gu He....could cure her. As her "grandfather," he was helpless, so he had rushed here to find Yun Yun, hoping she would return to heal her.
Yun Yun had originally come to the Magical Beast Mountain Range to obtain the Purple Spirit Crystal to help Nalan Yanran improve her cultivation.
Seeing that "Old Master Nalan" had personally come to her and revealed that Nalan Yanran was gravely injured, she panicked and immediately turned back.
Xiao Yan had assumed that Yun Yun's round trip from the Yunlan Sect would take quite some time.
As long as they obtained the Purple Spirit Crystal and the accompanying Purple Crystal Source within that window, everything would be fine.
He never expected Yun Yun to return so quickly.
Now he was at a complete loss.
