After dealing with these troublesome fire lizardmen, Xiao Ling gently waved his hands and withdrew all the means he had just used. The two natal talismans hovering above his head also slowly sank into his brows and returned to the Niwan Palace.

Immediately afterwards, a surging soul power spread out from Xiao Ling's brows again, and that soul power spread in all directions like an invisible thread.

As he pulled, a bunch of red fire beads swayed towards Xiao Ling. These fire beads were taken from the bodies of the fire lizardmen, and now they were considered the spoils of Xiao Ling's battle.

Xiao Ling narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at these fire beads carefully. They were of different sizes, but all contained considerable fire energy.

Then, he waved his hand and put most of the fire beads into his personal space, leaving only two in his hand.

These two fire beads are particularly special. Compared with other fire beads, they are obviously larger in size, like two dazzling rubies. The power of fire flowing on their surface is purer and more powerful, exuding a kind of power that no one dares to underestimate.

Xiao Ling could tell at a glance that this was the fire bead possessed by the two semi-saint level fire lizardmen, which contained most of the energy essence of the two fire lizardmen.

Although Xiao Ling's attack seemed quite brutal when he attacked earlier, he had actually been restrained in order to avoid damaging the fire beads in the bodies of these fire lizards as much as possible.

You know, these fire beads are rare treasures. Each of them contains considerable fire energy. For practitioners of fire-attribute fighting spirit, they are of extraordinary value.

Among them, the two fire beads that dropped and nurtured from the body of a semi-saint level flame lizardman are even more precious. Their quality is extremely high and they can be used as the main medicine for refining the eighth-grade nine-color elixir. Naturally, Xiao Ling would not let them go.

After Xiao Ling carefully examined the two particularly special fire beads, he carefully put them away. Then he moved and returned to Zi Yan's side in the blink of an eye.

When Zi Yan saw him coming back, a bright smile instantly bloomed on her face, like a happy purple butterfly, and she naturally threw herself into Xiao Ling's arms again.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and hugged the girl's delicate body tighter with his backhand. The two of them understood each other tacitly, and then flew towards the depths of the underground magma world again.

However, at this moment, Xiao Ling felt a little nervous.

After all, the next person he is going to face is the Dragon Emperor Zhuguang, who is famous for doting on his daughter. This is equivalent to kidnapping his precious daughter. It is not difficult for Xiao Ling to imagine that when Zhu Kun sees him, he probably won't have a very good impression of him.

But on second thought, he had Zi Yan by his side, with her supporting him. No matter how angry Zhu Kun was, he would not be willing to let his precious daughter live out her life alone.

Besides, he had taken good care of Zi Yan. He had brought Zi Yan back to Zhongzhou from the Northwest Continent, which gave her the opportunity to return to the Ancient Dragon Clan.

Moreover, he went to the Dou Sheng Ruins not long ago and found a Dragon Emperor Origin Fruit for Zi Yan, which was of vital importance to her cultivation.

As Zhu Kun is a powerful Nine-Star Fighting Saint and the former Dragon Emperor, he must be a sensible and sensible person. Seeing how much he has done for Zi Yan, he should be grateful and bless her.

After thinking about it, Xiao Ling's originally anxious heart slowly relaxed, but the speed of his flight unconsciously slowed down a little.

Chapter 549 Ancient Emperor’s Cave

In that unbearably hot underground magma world, the magma is like a raging wave, surging wildly and non-stop, with "gurgling" sounds coming one after another.

The crimson light illuminated the entire space, and a scorching breath filled every corner. The surrounding rocks were almost melted by the heat. From time to time, sparks flew out from the magma, like fireflies flying through this fiery world.

At this moment, without the obstruction of those fire creatures, Xiao Ling and Zi Yan had no worries about moving forward, and their figures rushed forward like lightning.

However, no matter how terrifyingly he increased his speed, the end of the magma seemed to be far away and always difficult to reach.

Looking ahead, the road ahead is always hidden under the waves of magma, hazy and blurred, as if shrouded by a mysterious veil.

This magma sea is bottomless and its depth is beyond imagination. However, Xiao Ling has already known about this situation and is not surprised.

After all, such a grand and magical scene cannot be created by ordinary human power. As the Dou Emperor, Natashagudi possesses extraordinary strength and magical powers. He can create such an amazing underground world and is truly worthy of the title of Dou Emperor.

In this hot underground magma world, there was a dead silence under the magma. Apart from the gurgling sound of the magma, there was no other sound. As far as the eye could see, it was almost completely filled with the red magma. The monotonous scene was really boring to look at.

Even Zi Yan, who was lively and active by nature, gradually found it difficult to adapt to such a monotonous environment. She couldn't help but pout and asked, "Xiao Ling, when can we get there?"

"It's almost there." Xiao Ling touched Zi Yan's head lovingly and said soothingly, "Don't worry, since we have dealt with those fire lizardmen before, we should be close to our destination."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ling took a deep breath and shot forward like a sharp arrow, his speed was a little faster than before.

Wherever he passed, a vacuum zone suddenly appeared. The originally surging magma was shattered under the impact of Xiao Ling's powerful force, turned into nothingness, and dissipated in this hot space, as if it had never existed.

As a sound of breaking through the air was heard, Xiao Ling rushed through this underground magma world like a hot knife through butter. The originally pure red color of the surrounding magma had quietly begun to evolve at some point, and was gradually dyed with a thick red-black color.

As the color of the magma changed, Xiao Ling clearly felt that the situation had become a little strange. He was forced to slow down a lot, because there seemed to be a very strange heat hidden in the red and black magma.

The heat was extremely strange. Even with the power of the strange fire, Xiao Ling was unable to completely isolate it for a while. Strands of heat continued to attack him, causing him to frown slightly.

However, as he was moving forward, a strange sign suddenly emerged from Xiao Ling's heart.

Although there was still endless magma in front of him, he was certain in his heart that the end of his destination was just ahead!

At this moment, he subconsciously clenched his fists, his eyes showing a bit of expectation and caution. Although his speed slowed down, he still continued to move forward firmly.

"laugh!"

About half a quarter of an hour later, accompanied by such a sudden sound, the sound of magma flow that had been filling the ears suddenly stopped, as if it was suddenly cut off by an invisible big hand.

In an instant, the surroundings seemed to fall into an extreme silence. Xiao Ling and Zi Yan looked up, and what appeared in their eyes was a vast, dark, and silent endless space.

This space seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mysterious black veil, revealing an elusive sense of depth, faintly emitting an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, which made people unable to help but be slightly stunned.

Seeing this, Zi Yan gently left Xiao Ling's arms, her bright eyes looking around curiously.

However, everywhere I looked was empty, silent and vast, and there didn't seem to be anything strange or special.

"Why is there nothing here?" Zi Yan couldn't help but pout and said with a puzzled look on her face. "Xiao Ling, do you think our trip this time will not be in vain?"

"Don't worry, it's not a wasted trip... follow me first." Xiao Ling first looked around carefully, a hint of certainty flashed in his eyes, and after identifying a direction, he flew towards that direction.

Although Zi Yan was full of curiosity, she hurriedly followed. The two of them flew quickly in this empty space, and the surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing and the sound of their clothes fluttering could be heard.

While hurrying on his way, Xiao Ling did not stop, but he could not help but look back at Zi Yan beside him, with a look of concern and admonition in his eyes, and then he slowly said:

"Zi Yan, what will we encounter next, and what kind of scene will we see, none of us can guess at the moment, let alone explain it clearly. But no matter what, you must try to keep a calm mind at that time, and don't be too shocked. It's best to make some mental preparations in advance."

With Zi Yan's familiarity with Xiao Ling, she could naturally sense that Xiao Ling had something else in mind, but she didn't take it too seriously. Instead, she smiled lightly, waved her hand casually, and said nonchalantly:

"Don't worry. I've seen all kinds of natural treasures and experienced all kinds of big scenes. I'm sure I won't make a fool of myself. Just put your mind at ease."

Seeing Zi Yan's confident look, Xiao Ling's mouth twitched slightly, and a bitter smile appeared on his face. He said helplessly: "That's not what I meant, but it's good that you have such an attitude."

After saying that, Xiao Ling didn't say anything more. He just silently increased his flying speed and rushed towards the place where the light was more and more anxiously.

About a few minutes later, at the end of their vision, in the distance, a soft light slowly emerged. The light was particularly eye-catching in this dark and silent space, like a bright pearl left here, exuding a mysterious attraction, which instantly attracted the attention of the two.

"Here we are! I want to see what this rare thing is."

Zi Yan saw the soft ball of light from afar, and a bright light suddenly flashed in her eyes. Her originally calm expression instantly became one of joy and anticipation. She immediately increased her speed and rushed towards the direction of the light.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling hurriedly followed. Soon, the two of them arrived in front of the ball of light.

The ball of light emitted a soft and mysterious glow. At this moment, the situation inside the ball of light was also reflected in the eyes of the two without reservation.

In the slightly dim and silent endless space, a towering and huge door stood before the two people.

The entire door is made of bronze. Time has left mottled marks on it, but it cannot conceal the ancient and heavy feeling it exudes.

The surface of the bronze is engraved with extremely intricate and mysterious patterns. Those patterns are winding, intertwined and entangled with each other, as if silently telling the endless mysteries between heaven and earth. Just one glance at it makes people feel as if they are about to be drawn into the distant and profound river of history.

Looking up, I saw four large characters written in a flamboyant and smooth style on the huge door - Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion!

Each character seems to have its own life, with strong and powerful strokes, like a dragon soaring into the sky or a phoenix spreading its wings, revealing a majestic momentum that can swallow mountains and rivers.

A sense of simplicity and grandeur, like a surging wave, almost came towards them and penetrated deep into Xiao Ling and Zi Yan's hearts.

Each stroke seemed to contain the ancient emperor's extremely strong, vast and boundless will. That will was like a towering mountain, suffocating people. Just standing in front of the door, one could not help but want to pay homage. Even their breathing unconsciously lightened and slowed down, for fear of disturbing the majesty and solemnity from ancient times.

Xiao Ling raised his eyes and looked towards the huge stone door made of bronze. Just one glance and he instantly felt a strong sense of alertness in his heart.

He quickly turned his eyes away, not daring to look any longer, because this stone door alone seemed to have an indescribable strange power, which made him feel an uncontrollable impulse, as if his soul was deeply attracted by the power contained in the stone door.

Xiao Ling secretly clicked his tongue and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this Tushe Ancient Emperor was truly extraordinary. The power of the Dou Emperor was so terrifying that even this stone door to the cave that was left behind had such a breathtaking power.

A complicated look flashed in his eyes, and then Xiao Ling reached out and gently pushed Zi Yan's curious little head aside, and said seriously:

"Wait a minute, don't look directly at the four big words on the stone door, understand?"

"Okay." Although Zi Yan was full of doubts and didn't understand why she had to do this, she nodded obediently when she saw Xiao Ling's serious look.

But just when she was about to ask the reason, she saw Xiao Ling slightly push her away. Her gaze, which had been originally downward, suddenly fell to one place. Her round eyes suddenly widened, full of astonishment, as if she had seen something extremely incredible. Her mouth was slightly open, and she forgot what to say for a moment.

In the deep and dark void, a mysterious creature that is so huge that it is beyond imagination and cannot be described in words is quietly lurking there.

It is like a towering mountain that has existed since time immemorial, motionless, as if it has merged into one with the dark void.

Zi Yan's gaze, filled with curiosity and astonishment, slowly moved along the body of the mysterious creature.

But when her gaze extended to the distance, she was ruthlessly blocked by the endless dark space. Even so, she still could not find the end of this creature, its boundless body.

This mysterious creature has a gorgeous and mysterious purple-gold color all over its body, and cold and hard scales neatly cover its entire body. Each scale flashes with a faint cold light, as if it was carefully crafted with the toughest steel. A vigorous, indestructible, steel-like feeling arises spontaneously.

It just floated quietly in the air, and Zi Yan couldn't see its entire appearance no matter how hard she tried. Just imagining its unbelievable size was enough to scare people.

Zi Yan was really frightened by the mysterious creature that suddenly came into her sight. She subconsciously took a small step back and her little hands unconsciously clenched the corner of her clothes.

But at this moment, she suddenly frowned slightly, and a sense of familiarity surged in her heart.

She couldn't help but move closer, carefully examining the scales on the creature's body, muttering to herself, "Why do these dragon scales look a bit like those of the Taixu Ancient Dragon? And the aura of this creature seems a bit familiar..."

Xiao Ling had always been on guard, and at this moment he also keenly noticed something unusual. He followed Zi Yan's gaze, and when the huge body of the mysterious creature came into view, he couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and an indescribable shock surged in his heart.

At the same time, his soul seemed to be hit hard by something, and he kept sending out warning signs. The strong warning was clearly reminding Xiao Ling that the creature in front of him, which seemed to be quietly lurking, was actually dangerous enough to be fatal.

Although Xiao Ling had already prepared himself mentally and knew that he would be facing an extremely extraordinary existence, if he had not been standing here in person and facing this astonishing scene, it would have been difficult for him to truly appreciate the extreme shock brought about by Zhu Kun's huge body.

The sight of that body that blocked out the sun and the sky was like an invisible force of oppression blowing in one's face, making one feel deeply about one's own insignificance, and a feeling of awe welled up in one's heart involuntarily.

At this moment, the voice of the Ancestral Stone Spirit suddenly rang out from within Xiao Ling's body. The voice was a bit solemn, and it echoed in Xiao Ling's mind:

"Xiao Ling, the strength of this creature in front of you is extremely terrifying. I have carefully speculated based on the aura it exudes. It is very likely that it has reached the so-called peak realm of Dou Sheng in this Dou Qi continent. Its strength is in no way inferior to the eight ancient masters I mentioned to you before. You must be extremely careful and absolutely cannot fight against it."

The Spirit of the Ancestral Stone was speaking, but when he was halfway through his words, his tone suddenly became a little strange. His voice was filled with doubt and certainty, and he slowly said:

"However, based on my current perception, the aura emanating from this creature seems to be very similar to Zi Yan's aura. If I'm not mistaken, they may be relatives."

Chapter 550 Father and daughter recognize each other

Xiao Ling was quite surprised when he heard the explanation from the spirit of the ancestral stone.

Xiao Ling was not surprised that the spirit of the ancestral stone could see through Zhu Kun's approximate strength. After all, the spirit of the ancestral stone had followed a powerful ancestral realm master like Fu Zu, who was as powerful as a Dou Emperor. In comparison, it was normal that Zhu Kun, who had not yet reached the Dou Emperor realm, could be seen through by the spirit of the ancestral stone.

However, what Xiao Ling did not expect was that the spirit of the ancestral stone could actually see that Zhu Kun and Zi Yan were direct relatives.

In Xiao Ling's original expectation, he thought that the spirit of the ancestral stone could at most only recognize that Zhu Kun was the Taixu ancient dragon, but he never thought that it also knew about this family relationship.

Xiao Ling knew that this was not the time to ask questions, so he did not plan to delve into the matter any further. He just nodded slightly and thought to himself:

"It seems that this discovery is beyond my expectation."

"Xiao Ling, don't look at that gate, come and look at this, it seems..."
