Ye Chen, riding the Purple Electric Ferret, searched the cave and finally reached its innermost center.
His gaze locked onto a specific spot.
There, a platform-like formation of purple crystal stones over a meter high had been amassed.
On the crystal platform rested a purple orb, roughly the size of Ye Chen's head, quietly placed in the center.
Staring intently at the purple orb, Ye Chen noticed it emitted tremendous heat, raising the temperature of the cave far above the outside air.
Seeing the orb, a gleam of excitement flashed in Ye Chen's eyes. "This must be the Symbiotic Purple Crystal Source. Who knew it contained such massive energy!"
Having read the original story, Ye Chen understood the preciousness of the Symbiotic Purple Crystal Source.
When a Purple Crystal Winged Lion produces offspring, there's a small chance that this Symbiotic Source will also be generated.
Since it remains in the lion's body for an extended time, the pure energy it holds is truly remarkable.
A cub that consumes it upon reaching fourth-tier strength can immediately ascend to fifth-tier.
Moreover, its purple flames will surpass other Purple Crystal Winged Lions who haven't consumed such a source.
For the lion cubs, this Symbiotic Purple Crystal Source is extremely valuable.
"Good stuff. If I absorb this completely, my cultivation will increase dramatically."
Ye Chen's face showed delight. His Swallowing Yuan Technique allowed him to consume pure energy like this with double efficiency.
With a thought, Ye Chen absorbed the massive Symbiotic Purple Crystal Source into his small world.
This source couldn't be opened with brute force—it required the Purple Spirit Crystal.
Ye Chen remembered that the lion's lair contained many Purple Spirit Crystals.
Soon, he moved toward another passage.
After a while, Ye Chen arrived at the other side of the lair.
Scanning the area, he spotted a smaller Purple Crystal Winged Lion, sleeping quietly on the ground.
Eyes glinting, Ye Chen smirked. "Capture the little one; the adult won't resist much."
"Xiao Zi, wake this one up gently. Don't kill it."
Ye Chen instructed the Purple Electric Ferret.
Without hesitation, the ferret shot a purple lightning bolt at the cub.
A piercing scream erupted.
"Damn humans! How dare you harm my child!"
Hearing the cub's cry, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion fighting above froze, its expression darkening.
The next moment, it abandoned resistance, speeding toward its lair.
"Trying to escape? Did you ask me first?"
Yao Lao naturally wouldn't allow the lion to flee.
With a flash, he blocked its path, slamming a massive palm toward the lion.
"Human, you are truly arrogant. I'll fight you!"
Already injured and worried for its cub, the lion's eyes blazed.
A growl carrying fury echoed, the purple glow on its body intensifying. Soon, the light nearly surpassed the setting sun.
The purple light enveloped the surroundings. After a brief pause, it compressed into a deep purple pillar, about half a foot wide.
"Purple Crystal Seal!"
As the pillar appeared, the lion's deep roar reverberated through the mountains.
"This is… the innate ability of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion clan!"
Seeing the deep purple pillar, Yao Lao's expression shifted slightly. Then, his massive soul force erupted, a giant palm descending upon the purple light.
"Boom!"
Where the purple pillar met the giant palm, space twisted. In an instant, the impact struck like colliding meteors.
Upon contact, the purple pillar fell behind. In moments, it exploded, while the giant palm barely dimmed.
The palm's momentum knocked the Purple Crystal Winged Lion from the air. It let out a scream, crashing into the mountains below.
Clearly, the lion had fallen behind. Against Yao Lao's overwhelming strength, it could not resist.

Inside the cave, the Purple Electric Ferret awakened the cub, which glared at the human intruder.
On its back, a large scorch mark had appeared.
Though the lightning strike seemed casual, the cub was gravely injured due to the vast power gap.
Its eyes glared at Ye Chen. Slowly, the cub's pupils glimmered faint purple, and its body began to form a layer of crystal.
"Little one, stop resisting. You'll only suffer more."
Seeing the enraged cub, Ye Chen relaxed.
The cub didn't understand him and charged.
In a flash of purple light, the ferret blasted the cub ten meters back, slamming it against the cave wall.
Already severely injured, the cub fainted from the second blow.
"Collected."
Ye Chen walked over to the unconscious cub. With a thought, its massive body vanished, stored safely in his small world.
He continued searching the cave.
The luxurious lifestyle of the Purple Crystal Winged Lions suggested hidden treasures. Naturally, Ye Chen would loot everything.
After a short search, he found a pile of treasures: Purple Spirit Crystals, cores of fourth and fifth-tier beasts, and rare herbs.
As the king of this generation in the Beast Mountain Range, the lion naturally possessed abundant resources.
"Heh, seems the Purple Crystal Winged Lion has quite a fortune."
Ye Chen collected all treasures into his Ring of Containment, ready for crafting numerous pills without searching elsewhere.
Having done all this, Ye Chen left the lair, fully satisfied.
