Chapter 1180: with translation of chapter title
Ang!
However, as soon as the former's words fell, without waiting for Zi Yan to open her mouth to answer, from the magma below came a sudden earth-shattering roar.
And beneath this roar, the entire magma world seemed to tremble at this moment.
Even Lin Feng and Zi Yan were shaken by this suddenly erupting roar, feeling somewhat uncomfortable, and instinctively covered their ears.
Fortunately, the roar came and went quickly; after ravaging for a few seconds, it gradually faded, leaving only the chaotic red magma shaken by it, and Lin Feng and Zi Yan staring at each other.
"This is the roar of the Primordial Void Ancient Dragon?!"
After a brief silence, Zi Yan's voice, full of astonishment, suddenly rang out in the magma world that had not yet returned to calm.
After all, as a Primordial Void Ancient Dragon, she could hardly mistake the roar of her own kin.
She was quite certain she had not misheard just now; that was indeed the roar of the Primordial Void Ancient Dragon.
And while speaking, Zi Yan's purple-brown eyes gazed in disbelief downward at the magma that showed a dark, blackish hue.
Previously, she had doubted Lin Feng's claim that there was a Primordial Void Ancient Dragon down here, after all, Primordial Void Ancient Dragons are not fire-attribute cultivators; what would they be doing in this sunless underground world filled with monotonous magma?
But now she truly believed that there were members of her clan down here, and that individual's strength might even far surpass theirs.
"What a terrifying roar; the commotion just now must have come from the old dragon king below. It seems he has sensed our presence."
And after that roar, Lin Feng couldn't help but inwardly gasp.
After all, under that roar just now, his soul also suffered considerable suppression.
Being able to exert such great soul pressure from such a distance, aside from an Imperial Realm soul, he really couldn't think of any other possibility.
But in this magma world below, after thinking it over, there could only be the existence of an Imperial Realm soul's owner!
Of course, the number he spoke of does not include the things inside the Gu Di Dong Fu.
After all, those guys are likely unable to affect the world outside the Gu Di Dong Fu.
Thinking that he would soon be able to reach the underground palace, Lin Feng's eyes couldn't help but fill with a bit of excitement.
Although they currently lack the eight pieces of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade and cannot open the Gu Di Dong Fu, still, being able to observe it from outside is good!
Thinking this, Lin Feng immediately turned his head to look at Zi Yan beside him and said, "Let's go; staying here we can't know what's below, so we might as well hurry over to investigate."
"Fine, I want to see what exactly is down there. Also, why would that clansman stay in this sunless underground world and not come out?"
Upon hearing that, Zi Yan also nodded in agreement.
However, after coming to her senses, she felt utterly puzzled by the behavior of that clan member who refused to leave the underground world.
After all, this place is not exactly a good cultivation spot for Primordial Void Ancient Dragons; why stay here?
And after hearing her words, Lin Feng's mouth twitched slightly, and he thought to himself, "Go out?"
"If the old dragon king could get out, we two probably wouldn't be in our current relationship."
However, while muttering to himself, Lin Feng also glanced at the now beautiful mature sister Zi Yan beside him and thought, "No matter what, today perhaps he could let this girl meet her father and clear up some misunderstandings."
Thinking of how that girl used to complain to him that her parents only cared about paying the ** and not raising her, Lin Feng also felt quite heartbroken.
After all, he clearly knew in his heart that this girl actually also really wanted to see her parents.
But now it seems that girl might only be able to see her father.
As his thoughts raced, Lin Feng did not hesitate; he shot forward explosively and continued to dive downward.
As for Zi Yan, she likewise tightly followed beside him, carrying curiosity as she darted downward.
Moreover, since no other oblivious lizard people came out to block them, Lin Feng and Zi Yan could speed downward without distraction.
However, the subterranean magma seemed endless; no matter how terrifying their speed increase, they still could not see the end of the magma.
What appeared before their eyes was always that boundless, hazy magma.
Regarding this situation, Zi Yan, who was completely unaware of the conditions below, couldn't help but furrow her brows slightly.
The depth of this magma sea truly far exceeded her expectations.
Is this magma world naturally formed by heavenly and earthly forces, or is it man-made?
If it is indeed man-made, just what level of capability would be required to accomplish this?
Thereafter, the two surged through the magma like a bamboo splitting force; as they descended, the surrounding magma's color, unbeknownst when, gradually shifted from crimson to a dark reddish-black.
At the same time, upon entering these black magmas, Lin Feng and Zi Yan's descent speed was forced to drop considerably.
Within these pitch-black magmas, a peculiar heat seemed to lurk, continuously radiating toward them; even Xiao Ling could not shield against it.
Due to these surrounding changes, Lin Feng and Zi Yan's speeds also quietly slowed considerably.
At the same time, they simultaneously released their battle qi, trying as much as possible to resist this sudden heat.
Although Lin Feng knows that in the original story, Lin Feng successfully descended from above and reached the door of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave.
However, back then Xiao Yan's battle qi strength was that of a seven-star Fighting Saint, far surpassing them, and he also had the aid of the third-ranked Strange Fire on the list, the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire.
But now he and Zi Yan do not possess that strength, so down here he must be more cautious.
Thinking this, Lin Feng turned to the likewise vigilant Zi Yan beside him and warned, "We must be careful; there are some things in this magma that even I cannot deal with."
"Okay."
Upon hearing that, Zi Yan immediately nodded, her purple-brown eyes fixed tightly ahead, fearing something might emerge from there.
"Ang!"
However, just as the two halted their figures, a dragon roar identical to the previous one rapidly propagated from the magma below and entered their ears.
However, this time Lin Feng clearly heard the dragon roar, which contained a strong sense of urgency, urging, and a hint of excitement.
"Again it's that person's dragon roar, but why would this roar urge me to go over?"
Upon hearing the dragon roar again, Zi Yan's brows furrowed once more.
If the owner of this voice wanted to see her, wouldn't it be better to just come out and trample?
Why would he deliberately emit the sound twice in a row, summoning her down?
Could it be that the person down there is trapped?
Also, why is this sound?
However, unlike the previous one, Lin Feng, because he guessed who the owner of this voice was,
Therefore, he then focused more of his attention on the magma below.
And when he saw the magma, under this dragon's roar, produce ripples like water waves, he immediately seemed to have discovered something, and a flash of excitement flashed across his dark eyes.
The next moment, Lin Feng suddenly extended his palm in Zi Yan's puzzled gaze, and at the same time, the bronze-colored flames on it kept surging.
Immediately after, Lin Feng, after hesitating a moment, lightly placed his hand into the magma before him.
«Hum! »
And as Lin Feng's palm touched the magma before him, the latter actually, like a tranquil lake surface being broken, gently rippled upward.
At the instant the ripple rose, Lin Feng's palm also directly disappeared.
This appearance, as if his palm had entered another space.
«Who would have thought that beneath this magma there is still a hidden space we haven't discovered?! »
Seeing this, Zi Yan, who was originally puzzled, involuntarily sucked in a breath of cold air.
In terms of spatial attainments, looking across the entire Dou Qi continent, among peers, none can rival their Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan.
Yet beneath this magma, at a place less than a zhang away from her, there is a small world, and she actually didn't notice it at all!
You know, he is currently a four-star mid-stage Dou Saint; with that level of strength combined with her Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan's spatial talent, even a space constructed by a nine-star Dou Saint, unless the person themselves personally hides it, cannot escape her notice!
«Tuoshe Ancient Emperor really is formidable; we were this close and yet didn't notice at all that there is another space here! »
Seeing this scene before him, Lin Feng gave a light smile in his heart, and his heart was likewise greatly shaken.
You know, since Tuoshe Ancient Emperor left this cave dwelling, tens of thousands of years have already passed.
Yet after enduring such a long baptism of time, this space has not suffered the slightest damage; even he and Zi Yan, both adept in spatial arts, have not detected any abnormality.
If it weren't for that previous dragon's roar causing the entrance of this small world to fluctuate slightly, they would probably have to run around foolishly for a long time before noticing something was wrong.
And who knows what dangers lie below!
However, thinking that there is a Dou Emperor's cave dwelling inside, Lin Feng's dark eyes began to beat fervently.
After all, that is a Dou Emperor!
In this era when source qi is almost cut off, that is the continent's supreme powerhouse, an existence that no one can shake!
«Zi Yan, let's go. »
Lin Feng, after taking a deep breath, then spoke excitedly.
As soon as his words fell, he took the lead, stepping into the spatial barrier, and immediately disappeared into this magma world.
Zi Yan, seeing this, also nodded firmly, then her long, round legs stepped out lightly, following Lin Feng into the spatial barrier.
«Hiss! »
As the two of them completely entered the small world, the sound of magma flowing that had filled their ears abruptly ceased.
The next moment, a somewhat dark and silent space appeared, reflected in Lin Feng's dark eyes.
This space, at a glance, has no visible boundary, as if endless.
At the same time, no one knows how long this vast space has remained silent; it is permeated with an ancient, vicissitudinous aura.
And Zi Yan, looking at the empty, dark space before her, a feeling of disappointment welled up in her heart, and she then complained: «How can there be nothing in here? I thought that after entering, I would be able to see what that Creation Saint left behind, just like the relics we saw before. »
«Haha, before that, we were just lucky; there weren't any particularly powerful guardians. But we can't always have such luck—for example, the next time, I took Yun'er to explore another Dou Saint relic, and we almost got buried inside. »
Hearing Zi Yan's complaint, Lin Feng immediately replied with a chuckle.
However, when speaking of the later events, his tone also carried a hint of gloom.
After all, back then he and Yun'er were chased in a sorry state by that nine-grade golden pill.
«Dou Saint relic? »
Hearing that, Zi Yan exclaimed in surprise: «You went to explore other places afterward? »
«Yeah, during your seclusion, but that time I was almost killed by an Eight-Star Dou Saint inside. »
Saying that, Lin Feng immediately waved his hand.
And immediately afterward, he looked toward the dark space ahead and said: «Let's go in and see what's going on; after all, that expert left a space here—surely he wouldn't be just playing with us. »
While speaking, Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed straight ahead.
Ahead, the darkness stretched out, an empty expanse with nothing unusual.
However, he knew in his heart that this place certainly wouldn't be as empty as it appeared on the surface.
«Right, let's go check it out. »
Hearing his words, Zi Yan also responded in agreement.
Seeing this, Lin Feng immediately tapped his toe in the void, and his figure shot forward into the darkness.
In the blink of an eye, his figure was swallowed by the endless darkness.
And Zi Yan, seeing his movement, hurriedly followed after, fearing that some unexpected situation might separate her from him.
And after the two flew through this empty space for several minutes, his steps finally paused, his gaze fixed intently on a distant point.
At the end of that line of sight, Lin Feng and Zi Yan could faintly see a cluster of light appearing.
Gazing at that light cluster, Lin Feng and Zi Yan exchanged a glance, and then, without prior agreement, they both continued to fly toward it.
And as the two gradually approached that light cluster, everything ahead came fully into their view.
Within that light cluster was a stone gate, a stone gate tens of thousands of zhang tall!
This pair of stone gates stood silently in the vast space, as if eternal and everlasting.
Looking ahead, an ancient and desolate aura slowly emanated from it, spreading across the heavens and earth.
And before the stone gates lay an expansive, boundless blue-stone plaza.
Seeing this, even though Lin Feng had been prepared, he was still shocked by the sight before him, beyond words.
Of course, Zi Yan, who stood beside him, lacking mental preparation, was even more excited than Lin Feng.
At this moment, she remained in a place far from the ancient stone gate, her gaze blankly fixed on the strange scenery within this dark space.
For a moment, her pink lips opened and closed, yet she could not speak.
"This place is truly magnificent!"
Standing before the vast and magnificent stone gate, Lin Feng gazed at everything before his eyes.
At this moment, he felt like an ant standing before an elephant, and unconsciously, a sense of awe welled up in his heart.
"Dou Emperor, truly mighty—just a stone gate left by the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor ten thousand years ago can already make my emotions uncontrollable"
After a long while, Lin Feng let out a heavy sigh, his heart involuntarily exclaiming in amazement.
Immediately afterward, his gaze slowly moved upward, scanning across the stone gate, and finally came to rest at its top.
There, the four ancient characters seemed eternal.
And when he caught sight of these four characters, his heart began to beat uncontrollably violently at that moment.
Because the inscription on it was.
"Gu Di Dong Fu!"
However, at this moment, Zi Yan, who stood beside him, suddenly spotted the four large characters on the stone gate and couldn't help but cry out in shock.
And perhaps because her emotions were too agitated, Zi Yan's voice suddenly turned sharp.
Moreover, as she spoke, her body couldn't help but tremble.
Those four ancient characters, although not particularly ornate,
yet in their simplicity they possessed an endless majesty that loomed over heaven and earth, leaving the two present unable to calm their extremely agitated emotions.
"Dou Emperor. Dong Fu"
After a lengthy silence, Zi Yan's trembling voice, mixed with intense disbelief, rang out once more in this quiet space.
At this moment, even if her nerves were as thick as ever, she faintly guessed what lay below.
After all, on the Qi Continent, few people can add the character "Emperor" after their title.
Of course, most importantly, this person could achieve such a feat in this extremely deep underground world, something even a nine-star Dou Saint would likely be unable to accomplish!
Then, the builders of these structures before us need no further explanation regarding their strength.
After being immersed in shock for a long time, Zi Yan, who barely managed to regain some composure, suddenly became excited, grabbed Lin Feng's arm, and eagerly shouted, "Lin Feng, let's go in!"
"There's something down there."
Before she could finish, Lin Feng suddenly spoke up, interrupting her words.
At the same time, he slowly lowered his head, directing his gaze downward.
And with his movement, in an instant, his eyes met a pair of enormous eyes below.
Those eyes in the darkness showed a faint red, with overlapping pupils within.
And the size of those eyes was hundreds of times greater than Xiao Yan's entire body!
At the same time, upon meeting those eyes, Lin Feng felt an overwhelming terrifying pressure descend upon him, causing his movements to suddenly slow.
"What?"
Upon hearing Lin Feng suddenly say there was something below, Zi Yan promptly followed his gaze and looked downward.
Immediately, a massive, boundless creature was reflected in her pure violet-brown pupils.
Below, an immeasurably huge creature lay coiled in the endless dark space, motionless.
Upon seeing the giant beast, Zi Yan, besides being shocked, found her gaze uncontrollably tracing its body.
However, when her gaze stretched to the horizon's end, only to be blocked by the distant dark space, she still could not see the creature's full form below.
But soon, as Zi Yan examined it closely, she discovered that the mysterious creature's entire body was purplish-gold.
Its icy scales, densely covering its body, gave rise to a vigorous, steel-like feeling emanating from it.
And Lin Feng, floating in midair, although he knew from the original work that this Old Dragon Emperor's form was extremely huge,
but he also didn't realize that the Old Dragon Emperor's true body was actually this unimaginably large!
Such a size, in all his years, Lin Feng had never seen before!
Even though he knew the Old Dragon Emperor below was unlikely to attack, when he suddenly discovered that the dark space beneath him harbored such a colossal being capable of swallowing heaven and earth, he still couldn't help feeling a shock surge from his feet to the top of his head.
However, at this moment, the giant beast below did not pay attention to the stronger Lin Feng; instead, its enormous eyes were fixed tightly on Zi Yan beside him.
"Child... my child"
Just as the two were stunned, a earth-shaking cry of wild joy suddenly rang out in this silent space.
The next instant, the massive creature that seemed to have been coiled for an unknown time shot forth with a speed mismatched to its size, then violently slammed into an invisible wall, shaking the entire space with a slight tremor.
Yet, facing its desperate charge, this space was not idle.
The next moment, a faint glow appeared and gradually brightened in this space, then shifted into a peculiar shape like a sturdy cage that tightly trapped the giant beast below.
"Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, you bastard!"
Seeing its path blocked, the giant beast's excited expression instantly turned to hatred; it abruptly turned its head, its huge eyes glaring viciously at the ancient stone gate floating behind it in space, and its unwilling roar echoed endlessly in this space.
Yet, facing the giant beast's roar, the ancient stone gate remained silent, as if eternally so.
At the same time, as the beast raged, Zi Yan beside it seemed to realize something; her formerly shocked gaze suddenly turned vacant.
A pair of gem-like violet-brown eyes stared blankly at the giant beast below.
Upon that unfamiliar giant beast, she sensed an extremely familiar aura.
Although she had never met this giant beast before, the two seemed oddly familiar with each other.
And this familiarity came from their bloodline.
