Douluo: Son of the Stars

Chapter 258 Return to the Ancient Emperor's Cave
In the inner courtyard, at the bottom of Tianfen Qi Refining Tower.

Xiao Yan stood at the entrance to the magma world. He suddenly waved his hand, and many invisible flames suddenly flew out of the that day's burning gas tower, and finally condensed into a ball of invisible flames on his palm.

“Fallen Heart Flame, haha, it has grown a lot over the years.” Looking at the invisible flame in his hand, Xiao Yan smiled. This thing was exactly the juvenile form of the Fallen Heart Flame that he obtained in the magma world that year. However, after decades of growth, it was obviously much stronger than it was back then.

"This little thing took all our efforts."

Su Qian also smiled and said that they had put a lot of effort into cultivating this Fallen Heart Flame over the years, but fortunately it was all worth it.

Today's Tianfen Refining Qi Tower is much more effective than it was back then. After all, the mature form of the Fallen Heart Flame back then would never obey their commands, but the current Fallen Heart Flame, having been cultivated for a long time, will not resist their commands at all.

Xiao Yan smiled and nodded. He flicked his finger and sent the trembling Fallen Heart Flame flying away from his palm. He then looked at Xun'er and the others again and said, "Wait for me to come out."

"Well, be careful." Hearing this, Xun'er and others also whispered.

Xiao Yan smiled and no longer hesitated. With a flash of his body, he turned into a ray of black light and rushed directly into the magma world in the passage below.

Many years later, the magma world is still red, and there is no end in sight.

Xiao Yan was suspended above the magma, looking up at a hollow cave not far below the passage. A nostalgic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he was remembering the days of hard training here.

"Finally I'm back again, but this time, I want to see what's underneath you!"

Looking at the magma sea below, Xiao Yan's eyes flashed, and the Pure Lotus Demon Fire surged out of his body, finally turning into a ray of fire. With a plop, it rushed into the magma, splashing waves of magma.

"laugh!"

As soon as he entered the magma, Xiao Yan dived towards the depths at an extremely fast speed. The surrounding magma would automatically evaporate when it got within half a meter of his body. With the power of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, it was obvious that the magma was not capable of causing any hindrance.

Xiao Yan's speed now was countless times faster than before. In less than ten minutes, he gradually went deeper into the magma. At the same time, his body slowed down a lot. He looked around the magma with a calm expression. He could sense that there were a lot of obscure auras approaching him quickly.

"That kind of magma creature?"

Xiao Yan smiled faintly and suddenly stomped his foot lightly. Suddenly, a vast soul wave surged out from his brows. In an instant, the surrounding magma exploded and the figures hidden in the magma burst into shrill screams.

"Chichi!"

With the emergence of these screams, the surrounding magma suddenly fluctuated violently, and then Xiao Yan saw dense red figures coming from all directions, finally surrounding him.

Xiao Yan's gaze swept over these lizard-like magma creatures and finally stopped not far away. There, there were two lizardmen with milky white bodies. They looked much older than the other lizardmen. What surprised Xiao Yan the most was that the strength of these two lizardmen had actually reached the level of semi-saint!

“No wonder the Skyfire Venerable died here. It turns out that there are such creatures among these lizardmen.” Looking at the two lizardmen, Xiao Yan’s eyes flashed with realization, and then he felt fortunate that he did not encounter these guys back then. Otherwise, he would probably be crushed to death by them with just one slap.

"Human, this is the cemetery of gods. This is not a place you can come to. Retreat quickly, otherwise the guardian will be awakened and you will be buried here forever!"

When Xiao Yan was secretly realizing it, one of the two white lizardmen actually spoke in human language. Although his voice was a little awkward, the intermittent voice still reached Xiao Yan's ears.

"Graveyard of Gods? Guardian?"

Hearing these two words, Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly flashed.

"Sure enough, what Ah Xing said is right. This is the place where the ancient emperor Shetu fell."

"Humans, leave quickly, otherwise, you will die!"

The two fire lizardmen, whose bodies were all white, had cold pupils as they stared at Xiao Yan closely, and their awkward voices came out slowly.

As the words of the two people fell, the eyes of the lizardmen around them suddenly revealed a ferocious look, and the scales on their bodies seemed to have become a lot darker.

Xiao Yan's face was calm, and he did not change color at all because of the murderous aura surging around him. If he had encountered such a scene in the past, he would probably be terrified to death. But now... just two semi-saints and some second-rate strongmen, to him, there was simply no deterrent power at all.

"I'm going to fix the bottom of the magma today!"

Xiao Yan chuckled, his body motionless, and a vast soul wave spread out rapidly from the center of his eyebrows as fast as lightning.

"Buzz!"

As the soul fluctuations spread, the magma suddenly began to fluctuate violently, and a faint buzzing sound was heard. Then, the bodies of the many fire lizardmen around them shook violently, and a soul pressure that seemed like the power of heaven surged out from the depths of their souls, making their souls tremble. For a moment, the formation was in chaos.

Seeing this scene, the two fire lizardmen whose bodies turned pale also changed their expressions. However, before they could shout out loud, the magma in front of them suddenly exploded, and an indescribable huge wave exploded fiercely on their bodies.

"Oh!"

Thousands of feet of lava waves spread rapidly, and the two white flame lizardmen were directly blown away, spurting out several mouthfuls of blood, looking at Xiao Yan with deep horror in their eyes.

"roll!"

Xiao Yan's expression was stern, and a thunderous roar exploded from the tip of his tongue. The vast fluctuations of his soul were hidden in the roar, and spread out fiercely, directly causing huge waves to splash within the magma sea thousands of feet away.

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound waves spread, and the countless lizardmen surrounding him were all blown away. However, Xiao Yan had a very good grasp of the severity of the attack. Although he shook off the lizardmen, he did not kill any of them. After all, he was not familiar with this place at all, and no one could predict whether such a large-scale killing would lead to any unexpected events.

But no matter what, this place might have been left by the last Dou Di strongman in the Dou Qi Continent. It would always be a good idea to be cautious.

The bottom of the magma was turned upside down by Xiao Yan. The flame lizardmen who originally had fierce looks on their faces also retreated far away with horror, looking at the devil-like figure from a distance. The terrifying soul pressure made their souls tremble... "You will be punished by God for trespassing into the God's Cemetery!"

The two flame lizardmen, who were all white, swallowed the sweet blood in their mouths and roared hoarsely.

In response to such threatening words, Xiao Yan smiled faintly. He was slightly certain in his heart that there must be something at the bottom of the magma. The so-called cemetery of gods mentioned by these creatures was most likely the cave residence of the ancient emperor Tushe!
When he thought of this, Xiao Yan's eyes became hot. He licked his lips and looked at the dark magma below. At the endless end, it seemed that there was something terrible lurking, which was creepy.

"I hope I'm not in time."

Xiao Yan murmured softly, then moved, transformed into a ray of fire, and rushed towards the bottom of the magma like lightning.

Looking at his figure, the fire lizardmen hesitated for a moment, but finally did not try to stop him. From the previous situation, they also understood that if Xiao Yan had not held back, they would have been killed or injured.

"Stupid humans are seeking death!"

The two white flame lizardmen looked at each other, then snorted coldly, and with a movement of their bodies, they merged into the magma and quickly swept away into the distance.

Without the obstruction of these fire creatures, Xiao Yan's speed increased again. However, no matter how terrifyingly his speed increased, it seemed that he still could not reach the end of the magma. The road ahead was always hazy and blurred under the waves of the magma.

Xiao Yan frowned slightly at this situation, but he did not give up. The depth of this magma sea was far beyond his expectations. Such a skill was simply beyond human power. Perhaps, only when one reaches that level can one have such ability.

“I don’t believe that your magma really has no end.” Xiao Yan sneered softly and flew past like a meteorite. Wherever he passed, a vacuum zone emerged and the magma in it was actually shattered into nothingness.

"Boom boom boom!"

Rushing past like a broken bamboo, the color of the surrounding magma, at some point, has gradually evolved from red to red and black.

When the magma turned into this color, Xiao Yan was forced to slow down a lot. It seemed that there was a strange heat hidden in the magma. Even the purifying power of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire could not easily purify this heat in a short time.

As the surroundings changed, Xiao Yan's eyes flickered rapidly. However, just as his vigilance became stronger and stronger, a sign suddenly emerged in his mind. At that moment, his diving figure froze in an instant!
"puff!"

Due to the sudden stop at high speed, the magma around him was also shaken and exploded, but Xiao Yan's eyes were looking straight ahead. In his soul perception, it seemed that this was the end of the magma, but what he saw before his eyes was still endless magma.

Xiao Yan's eyes flickered, and he suddenly stretched out his hand slowly. On his palm, the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire surged, and then it gently touched the magma in front of him.

"Buzz!"

As Xiao Yan's palm touched the piece of magma, the latter actually rippled up, and Xiao Yan's palm disappeared directly, as if it had touched a space.

"There is a space hidden at the bottom of the magma." Looking at this scene, Xiao Yan couldn't help but take a breath. He now has the ability to construct space, but if he wants to create it at the bottom of the magma, even figures like Emperor Hun Tian and Gu Yuan would find it difficult.

"The ancient Emperor Tuoshe is well-deserved!"

Xiao Yan smiled lightly to calm the shock in his heart. In these ten thousand years, who else could have the ability to do this, other than the one and only Dou Emperor?
There was a frenzy beating in Xiao Yan's dark eyes. He hesitated only for a moment before gritting his teeth and taking a sudden step forward, stepping directly into the space at the bottom of the magma!

"laugh!"

As the whole body stepped into the mysterious space, the color of flowing magma that originally filled the ears suddenly stopped.

What appeared in Xiao Yan's eyes was an endless space that was somewhat dark and silent. This space had been silent for who knows how many years. The entire space was filled with an ancient flavor of vicissitudes.

Xiao Yan's gaze swept slowly across the space. What he saw was an empty space without any strangeness. He frowned slightly and moved forward cautiously.

Xiao Yan was flying in this empty space for a few minutes before he paused. His eyes were fixed on a distant place, where a ball of light was faintly visible.

Looking at the ball of light, Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and flew away. As he gradually approached the ball of light, he also took in the situation inside the ball of light.

It was a stone gate, a huge stone gate tens of thousands of feet long!
The stone gate stood quietly in this vast space, as if it existed forever. An ancient, wild aura slowly spread from it, rippling in the world.

In front of the stone gate, there was an equally large square, and Xiao Yan stayed far away from the ancient stone gate. He stared blankly at the strange scenery in the dark space, and for a moment, he was speechless.

Standing in front of the magnificent stone gate, Xiao Yan was like an ant. Unconsciously, he felt a sense of awe in his heart. But then, he suddenly realized something and became wary. It was just a stone gate, but even he had an impulse that was hard to control. This place was really weird and unpredictable.

Xiao Yan's gaze swept across the stone gate and finally stopped at the top of the stone gate. There, there were four ancient characters. When his eyes caught sight of these four characters, his pupils suddenly contracted and his heart began to beat violently.

"Ancient Emperor's Cave!"

The ancient font does not appear too gorgeous. However, despite its plainness, it has an endless majesty that towers over the heaven and earth!

"Finally found you." Looking at the four ancient characters, the smile on Xiao Yan's mouth suddenly widened.

However, the smile on his lips did not last long. Xiao Yan suddenly felt a chill in his heart, as if something was watching him.

This feeling made Xiao Yan's expression gradually solemn. He looked around but did not find anything. After a moment, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and slowly lowered his head. At the same time, a pillar of fire spurted out from his fingertips!

Fire bloomed in the dark space, but Xiao Yan's gaze suddenly froze at this moment. He stared blankly at the space below, and the blood in his body seemed to solidify.

"This is."

In the silent space, Xiao Yan's scalp quietly exploded.
