A Century Early in the Battle of Dou Qi

At the bottom of the magma, before the Barrier, Zhao Li pinched his chin, his eyes filled with thought. Now that he was actually here, he wasn't in a hurry anymore and began to ponder carefully:

"Hmm, it's also possible it's because of the Heavenly Flame. In the original story, both the Purifying Demonic Flame and the Nihility Devouring Flame should have escaped from this Space. Perhaps this Barrier doesn't block them. Could it be that it didn't block me just now because of the Bone Chilling Flame?"

Thinking of this, he flicked his finger, and the Bone Chilling Flame shot towards the Barrier, then silently disappeared without causing any ripples.

Zhao Li frowned. Before he understood why Xiao Yan could enter and exit freely while the stronger Zhu Kun was trapped for tens of thousands of years, he didn't dare to directly enter that Space. Being killed or becoming Zhu Kun's companion were not good things.

After a short while, Zhao Li stopped wasting time. Thinking like this wouldn't yield any results. His various ideas had no way of being verified. He didn't dare to go in, and he couldn't leave. Zhao Li decided to change his approach:

"I wonder if Zhu Kun can sense the activity here."

With a thought, he condensed an Energy Sword in his hand and immediately thrust it towards the invisible Barrier.

Strangely enough, the Barrier, which had seemed almost non-existent and offered little resistance before, was now rippled by the energy Zhao Li released. The Energy Sword was like stabbing into a swamp, completely blocked and swallowed by it, then assimilated into the Barrier, becoming a part of it.

When Zhao Li attacked the Barrier, in the Space beneath the Barrier, within that darkness, two large lights suddenly lit up without warning, emitting a faint, eerie glow!

With Zhu Kun's strength, accumulated over countless years, he could almost be considered the strongest person on the Dou Qi Continent. Moreover, he was the Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Void Dragon. With the enhancement of his Space talent, the activity in the Space naturally couldn't escape his notice.

The moment he sensed the Barrier's fluctuation, he opened his eyes from his deep sleep, a hint of joy flashing in his pupils:

"How many years has it been? Can I finally leave this place?"

His massive dragon head looked back at the Cave Dwelling's Stone Gate, a complex expression in his eyes. Immediately, his enormous body rapidly shrank, transforming into a human form, and he rushed towards the Space Barrier.

Zhao Li didn't know the situation inside the Barrier. He continued to attack the Barrier, hoping to awaken the Old Dragon Emperor. He didn't dare to go in, so he naturally had to get Zhu Kun to come out. Outside the Barrier, his safety was guaranteed.

At the same time, he didn't miss the opportunity to study the methods of the Emperor Realm. With each attack, he carefully observed the changes in the Barrier, unwilling to miss any detail.

Suddenly, an ancient, desolate, and terrifying aura, passed down from ancient times, abruptly permeated the Space. Zhao Li's body instantly stiffened, and his hair stood on end.

Under this ancient and terrifying aura, the Dou Qi circulating within Zhao Li's body suddenly became somewhat sluggish.

"He's here!"

Zhao Li forcibly suppressed the urge to turn and run. He knew in his heart that Zhu Kun, who could almost be considered the strongest person on the Continent, was behind the Barrier.

After a few breaths, Zhao Li calmed the surging waves in his heart and attempted to communicate:

"Is anyone there?"

He clearly knew that Zhu Kun, the Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Void Dragon, was inside, but he didn't dare to call out his name.

The era Zhu Kun lived in was too long ago. Not to mention him, even Hun Tiandi and others didn't know about him. He certainly shouldn't know who was inside.

There was no response from inside.

Zhao Li didn't give up. From the few words spoken by the Flame Lizardmen, it seemed they knew about this Space, and even about Zhu Kun inside. Either they discovered it themselves, or Zhu Kun revealed himself to them, or they were born for this mission and knew this information innately.

Combining this with the description in the original story, the latter two possibilities were more likely than the former.

In the original story, Zhu Kun wanted to obtain the inheritance of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor but was kept by the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor to be a tomb keeper, trapped for tens of thousands of years. In the later years, he felt more regret than desire.

With this mindset, it was highly probable that he wanted to use these Lizardmen to spread the news of this place, attracting the holder of the Ancient Jade. Once the Cave Dwelling was opened, whether he chose to wait for an opportunity to seize the inheritance or leave this place directly and rule the Continent again would be entirely up to him.

As for why he chose the Lizardmen, were there any other creatures in this Magma? Even Venerable Skyfire, whose strength was almost enough to dominate the Black Corner Region, didn't dare to investigate after sensing a terrifying aura, or perhaps he did investigate but perished.

Various thoughts flashed through Zhao Li's mind, and finally, he sighed:

"It's still because I'm not strong enough!"

If he had the strength not to fear Zhu Kun, even if he didn't know the purpose of the seemingly useless Space Barrier before him, he would still dare to enter.

Numerous thoughts flashed through his mind one by one, but his attacks didn't stop.

Fishing for a dragon, the main thing is patience.

He had no way to deal with this Barrier, but Zhu Kun might.

Half an hour later, Zhao Li had just launched one attack, and before the next attack could condense, a faint, ethereal voice sounded:

"Who dares to disturb This Emperor's long slumber?"

Zhu Kun felt a hint of surprise when he noticed that Zhao Li quickly recovered under his aura.

Even though it was significantly weakened by the Barrier, an ordinary Dou Sheng who sensed his aura might instinctively flee in panic. However, Zhao Li continued as usual. He observed for a long time before speaking, Probing.

As soon as he spoke, it was a bombshell. He didn't believe that anyone in this world could resist the temptation of a Dou Di Ruins.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that the person outside had God's Perspective and knew the situation inside.

Hearing Zhu Kun's words, Zhao Li was stunned:

"This Old Dragon Emperor is quite cunning, isn't he? If I didn't know what was inside, anyone else who came here would probably rush in immediately."

He thought this to himself, but his face showed a look of surprise, as if he had been startled. He shouted loudly:

"Who! Come out, stop pretending to be a ghost."

He gave the reaction a normal person would have, then, as if he remembered Zhu Kun's words, he muttered loudly to himself:

"This Emperor? Could it be a Dou Di? Hmm, are there still Dou Di in this world? Oh, long slumber, he should be dead. Could it be a soul? That's a bit contradictory!"

Zhao Li analyzed the situation right in front of Zhu Kun.

At this moment, inside the Barrier, Zhu Kun touched the Barrier with his hand, feeling very uncomfortable. Even though Space was like a toy to the Ancient Void Dragon, and he was a member of the Ancient Void Dragon royalty, a Peak Nine-star Dou Sheng, he still couldn't do anything about the thin Barrier before him.

But he was still a Peak Nine-star Dou Sheng Ancient Void Dragon. Even if he couldn't leave this place, after countless years of exploration, he could still barely communicate with the outside world through the Barrier. Unfortunately, over countless years, there were only the Lizardmen who were also born because of old man Tuoshe, and nothing else.

Zhao Li was the first person to arrive here in countless years, so he naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity. Seeing Zhao Li's face filled with a mixture of confusion and surprise, but with no other actions, he felt a little helpless:

"Is this Little Guy so cautious? This is a Dou Di Ruins, and he can still analyze it so calmly. No, I need to add some fuel to the fire."

The human-shaped Zhu Kun narrowed his eyes slightly, about to continue luring Zhao Li, but suddenly stopped.

He turned his head to look at the tall Stone Gate not far away. If the person who came didn't have the Ancient Jade, he still couldn't get out. Perhaps
