Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yao Tianhuo froze completely, and even his illusory soul body trembled violently as if struck by lightning.

He perished here back then, only knowing that there was great terror at the bottom of the lake, but he never expected that this place would involve the legendary Dou Di powerhouse!
"Young friend, you're not joking, are you? Is there really a Dou Di's inheritance here?"

Yao Tianhuo asked in a trembling voice, his words filled with disbelief.

"Why would I lie to you? That's exactly why we came here..."

Xiao Yan knew that the Yaotian Fire was not inherently bad, so he didn't hide anything from him and immediately told him about the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Cave.

Seeing that Xiao Yan spoke logically and persuasively, Yao Tianhuo believed him even more.

But soon, a strong sense of fear welled up in Yaotianhuo's heart.

He hurriedly advised Xiao Yan and the others, "Gentlemen, you are all capable of venturing deep into this place, but I must still advise you: even if there truly is a Dou Di's legacy at the bottom of this lake, it is by no means something to be trifled with. I myself once possessed the cultivation of a five-star Dou Zun, but merely approaching the outer edge of this lava lake attracted the pursuit of a Dou Sheng-level expert from the Fire Lizard Clan, ultimately leading to my current predicament. The deeper parts of this lake... there are probably unimaginable dangers..."

The reason Yao Tianhuo went to such lengths to tell Xiao Yan and the others all this was not only to repay their kindness, but also because he had some selfish motives.

He had been trapped here for thousands of years, and finally saw a glimmer of hope for his escape.

If Xiao Yan and the others also perish here.

Does that mean he'll never have a chance to rise in society?

After listening to Yao Tianhuo's words, Yao Lao did not say much. He simply moved his mind slightly, and a vast and powerful pressure swept over Yao Tianhuo's soul like a tide.

"..."

Yao Tianhuo's voice abruptly stopped, his soul body froze in mid-air, his illusory eyes fixed on Yao Lao, his face filled with extreme shock.

His lips trembled, and after a long while, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "You...you are actually a Dou Sheng powerhouse?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows smugly and replied, "My teacher is more than just a Dou Sheng; he's a nine-star Dou Sheng with an Emperor-level soul!"

"What? A nine-star Dou Sheng? An Emperor-level soul!"

Yao Tianhuo's mind went blank, and he was completely dumbfounded.

When Elder Yao used his aura to force back the fire lizards, he also felt a powerful pressure.

However, due to the great distance and the fact that he had been trapped for thousands of years, his perception had deteriorated somewhat, so he did not think about it. He simply felt that a powerful figure with a cultivation level no weaker than his own had arrived.

However, he never expected that among the people who came this time, there was actually a nine-star Dou Sheng hidden.

A nine-star Dou Sheng—that's a powerful figure standing at the very top of the entire Doupo Continent.

"We can talk about other things later. Let's keep going."

With a flick of his sleeve, Yao Lao enveloped everyone with his powerful battle aura, then transformed into a streak of light and continued diving towards the deepest part of the lava lake.

Because the nearby fire lizards had already been driven away by the old medicine master, the subsequent descent went very smoothly for everyone.

Everyone traversed the bottom of the lava lake and descended.

After an unknown amount of time, the previously relatively stable lava flow suddenly became restless, with some distorted energy turbulence appearing.

"Everyone be careful. The space ahead is unstable. It is probably affected by the aura of the ancient emperor's cave, forming an energy vortex and spatial rift. These spatial rifts are extremely dangerous. Once you are caught in them, you will be in grave danger."

As the old apothecary reminded everyone, he manipulated the light shield to slow down, skillfully avoiding the distorted areas that were difficult to see with the naked eye but exuded an aura of destruction.

Everyone followed behind the old doctor, holding their breath and paying close attention to the situation outside the protective barrier.

Outside the light shield, there were occasional pitch-black cracks that could instantly engulf large swathes of magma, and at other times, violent energy vortexes tore everything apart.

If it weren't for the precise control of Yao Lao, a nine-star Dou Sheng, this journey alone would have been enough to cause the demise of Dou Zun or even a low-level Dou Sheng.

After carefully traversing the lakebed, which was riddled with spatial rifts, for half an hour, the group finally reached their destination.

Instead of endless lava, a transparent barrier exuding an aura of antiquity appeared ahead. Behind this barrier lay a deep darkness, with strange lights flickering within, completely out of place in the surrounding lava world.

"This should be the entrance set up by Tuoshegudi."

The old doctor stopped the light barrier and looked ahead with a solemn expression.

Lin Dong stepped forward, his Yuan Power surging around him: "Such a sturdy spatial barrier, let me try to break it with the Great Desolate Imprisoning Heaven Finger!"

"Absolutely not!"

The old doctor quickly stopped him, saying, "This is a Dou Di technique. Using brute force will only trigger a backlash from the spatial power. You absolutely cannot force it."

Xiao Yan also reached out and pressed Lin Dong down: "Fifth Brother, don't worry, we know how to break this."

After saying that, he immediately formed hand seals and summoned various strange flames of different colors, each radiating a terrifying temperature, from his body.

"Teacher, I need your help!"

"it is good!"

Yao Lao used his Emperor Realm soul to control the strange fire summoned by Xiao Yan.

Then, under his extremely skillful control, those strange fires immediately transformed into strange fire lines containing various characteristics of different fires.

The fire line drifted gently toward the invisible spatial barrier without forcibly impacting it.

Instead, it's like a key being inserted into a lock.

The strange fire energy on it resonated with the barrier in a peculiar way.

"—Buzz!!!"

The spatial barrier began to fluctuate violently, emitting a low hum.

On the seemingly indestructible barrier, ripples resembling water patterns spread out from the point of contact between the fire lines.

Gradually, the center of the ripples began to blur, eventually forming a twisted opening that could only accommodate one person at a time.

Inside the cave entrance, a vast and ancient aura suddenly burst forth, carrying with it a powerful pressure that made all things tremble, which invigorated Zhu Chen and the others standing outside the barrier.

"The passage is open, everyone hurry up and get in!"

The old doctor shouted in a deep voice, and took the lead in manipulating the light shield to pass through the distorted spatial opening.

Zhu Chen, Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, and Naruto followed without hesitation.

Then there's Zi Yan.

After everyone else had gone inside, Han Li, who was standing at the back of the group, then moved and entered the spatial cave.

As the last person entered, the spatial opening immediately began to close, returning to its original form as an invisible barrier, completely isolating the scorching heat and clamor of the magma world from the outside.

……

at the same time.

The territory of the Soul Clan.

Just as Zhu Chen and his group opened the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Cave.

The Soul Emperor, who was in seclusion, suddenly felt the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade on his body vibrate violently.
