As Lin Qing's entire body entered this mysterious space, the sound of flowing magma that had been filling his ears suddenly stopped.
Chapter 455 Zhu Kun (Please subscribe, vote for monthly tickets, and recommend)
Darkness, silence, ancient and weathered – this is the true description of this space.
For some reason, Lin Qing's divine sense was suppressed in this space, but it was only a suppression.
With a little effort, Lin Qing could release his divine sense, but in doing so, he might forcibly break through this space.
"Forget it, let's keep this space. Zhu Kun should be over there. Let's go check it out and then head back!" Lin Qing pondered for a moment and flew into the distance.
Over there, a faint light flickered, very subtle, but Lin Qing could still detect it with his keen eyesight.
As he gradually approached the ball of light, he also absorbed the scene inside it.
That was a stone gate, a massive stone gate tens of thousands of feet high!
The stone gate stood quietly in this vast space, as if it had existed forever. An ancient and wild aura slowly spread from it, rippling through the heavens and earth.
Before the stone gate was a vast plaza, and Lin Qing was floating in the air above it.
"Wow, that's huge!" Lin Qing suddenly exclaimed.
Lin Qing wasn't referring to the stone gate and the plaza, but rather to the mysterious creature beneath the stone gate.
Seeing that it was a bit blurry, Lin Qing summoned a golden flame, which instantly illuminated an area of tens of thousands of meters around him.
It was an indescribably enormous creature, perched motionless in the dark void.
Lin Qing's gaze followed its body, but when his vision was blocked by the dark space further away, he still could not see its end.
This mysterious creature is entirely purple-gold in color, with cold scales covering its body, giving off a powerful, steel-like feeling.
Even though Lin Qing already knew about the immense size of the Ancient Dragon Zhukun, he never expected it to be this huge.
It's worth noting that Lin Qing illuminated a distance of tens of thousands of meters, yet this was only half of the body; one can imagine how enormous Zhu Kun was.
Even Lin Qing's own physical form is only 20,000 meters tall. Compared to Zhu Kun, he is truly insignificant.
However, although he was physically inferior, Lin Qing could easily defeat Zhu Kun.
"laugh!"
In the illuminated void... a pair of enormous eyes that had been closed for a long time suddenly opened!
These eyes were a pale red, with overlapping pupils, and they were hundreds of times larger than Lin Qing himself!
The moment those eyes opened, they locked onto Lin Qing, and at the same time, an extremely terrifying pressure enveloped Lin Qing.
Despite being enveloped by this terrifying pressure, Lin Qing seemed completely unaffected. Perhaps feeling thirsty, he even took out a bottle of Wahaha and started drinking.
"Can tomb raiders possess ancient jade?"
The space trembled, and a sound that made the space shake suddenly resounded.
"Ancient jade? Oh, you mean fragments of ancient jade possessed by the eight ancient clans? No, we don't have any." Lin Qing shrugged and said.
"If not, then stay..." The indifferent voice rang out again.
Then the entire space suddenly fluctuated, and a dazzling purple-gold pillar of light burst forth from the darkness, piercing through the void and shooting fiercely toward Lin Qing.
"when!"
The purple-gold beam of light, as if it were a physical object, slammed into Lin Qing's body with a loud, crisp sound, like steel colliding with iron.
With a deafening roar, a storm exploded in the air.
Before long, the energy of the purple-gold pillar dissipated from Lin Qing's body and disappeared. Lin Qing then casually discarded the Wahaha drink he had finished.
He patted his long robe and said, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate to treat a guest like this? Seeing your enormous body, I'm almost tempted to roast you and eat you."
Of course, there's no way he could actually eat him. After all, this guy is Zi Yan's father, and Zi Yan is Xiao Yanzi's friend. Eating Zi Yan's father wouldn't be very appropriate...
"Hmm? You actually blocked my attack with just your physical body." From the void, Zhu Kun's voice carried a hint of surprise.
"But you're really arrogant, saying you want to eat me?"
Suddenly, a fierce gust of wind surged forth. A quick glance to the side revealed a shimmering purple-gold luster, which had condensed into a strange light seal, and then it slammed down angrily towards Lin Qing.
"This little attack is useless against me." Lin Qing waved his left hand lightly, and the incoming light imprint dissipated in the wind.
"Buzz!"
A strange power emanated from Lin Qing.
"This... is impossible. Who are you? How could there still be a Dou Di on the Dou Qi Continent?" Zhu Kun's voice rang out again, but this time it was unusually anxious.
The sound was so loud that it shook the void, causing ripples to spread.
Although Lin Qing does not cultivate battle qi, all cultivation systems ultimately lead to the same goal.
The power of the Celestial Immortal emanated from him. Although Zhu Kun found it strange, he instantly realized that this power was no less than that of a Dou Di.
Logically, Zhu Kun concluded that Lin Qing was a Dou Di, after all, it had witnessed a Dou Di before.
"Hehe, you're right, there are no Dou Di on the Dou Qi Continent." Lin Qing smiled and didn't explain further.
"Based on the strength you just displayed, and the aura you just emitted, you are completely no match for the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor who sealed me here."
"You yourself said that there are no Dou Di on the Dou Qi Continent, so you couldn't possibly be that damned bastard Tuoshe Ancient Emperor," Zhu Kun said through gritted teeth.
Lin Qing: "There are no Dou Di in the Dou Qi Continent, but there are in other worlds. Unfortunately, I come from another world."
"Another world? I've lived for tens of thousands of years, why have I never heard of a world outside the Dou Qi Continent?" Zhu Kun was very puzzled.
Lin Qing took out another bag of spicy strips and ate it: "When you reach the Dou Di realm, you will be able to sense it. It would be strange if you could know it with your current strength as a nine-star Dou Sheng at the peak."
"I am Zhu Kun, the patriarch of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. Please forgive my previous rudeness, senior." Zhu Kun seemed to have accepted the matter and changed the subject to apologize.
"Smack smack... It's okay, I'm easy to talk to." In just a few words, the bag of spicy strips was finished.
"Then... senior, may I ask what brings you to the Ancient Emperor's Cave? Are you also interested in the cave? I can provide all the information..."
Lin Qing interrupted directly, saying, "No need. I'm not interested in the Ancient Emperor's Cave. I'm just somewhat interested in you!"
"Interested in me?" Zhu Kun broke out in a cold sweat instantly.
"No way, the senior said he was going to eat me... Could it be..." Zhu Kun was extremely anxious. If someone with the strength of a Dou Di wanted to eat him, he wouldn't be able to escape.
"Senior...you must be joking. What could I possibly be interested in?" Zhu Kun said cautiously, not daring to raise his voice too much.

Lin Qing said calmly, "You're from the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, aren't you?"
“That’s right, I am indeed from the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void.” Although he had already introduced himself, Zhu Kun still replied.
"Unfortunately, I am also a dragon, but not from the Ancient Void Dragon clan, so I was curious and came to take a look."
With a thought, Lin Qing removed the spell from his head, revealing his two dragon horns, and he no longer concealed his aura.
"This...this aura...you really are a dragon? Could it be that dragons exist in other worlds as well?"
Although he possessed the aura of a dragon, Zhu Kun immediately sensed that Lin Qing's aura was completely different from that of the Ancient Void Dragon.
“That’s right, my true form is a five-clawed golden dragon.” Lin Qing burst forth suddenly.
Then Zhu Kun saw a burst of intense golden light erupt in the distance, and this golden light grew larger and larger, extending to a length of 20,000 meters.
Suddenly, a heart-stirring dragon roar resounded in the void, seemingly piercing through space, causing Zhu Kun's soul to tremble.
As the dragon's roar faded and the golden light gradually diminished, Lin Qing's true form appeared before Zhu Kun.
Golden scales, shimmering with golden light, surrounded by a strange power, and two pairs of powerful and exceptionally sharp dragon claws.
Looking at the dragon's head again, with its flowing golden beard and captivating eyes, Zhu Kun found a strange beauty in this five-clawed golden dragon.
"What a wondrous five-clawed golden dragon! Its bloodline is absolutely no less than that of my Taixu Ancient Dragon, and may even far surpass it." Zhu Kun's face was filled with shock.
Suddenly, all the golden light dissipated, and the five-clawed golden dragon in the void had vanished.
Lin Qing's figure landed gracefully: "Alright, I have important matters to attend to, so I won't stay any longer." After saying that, Lin Qing prepared to leave.
"Please wait a moment, senior. I have another request to make." Zhu Kun, having regained his senses, hurriedly called out to Lin Qing, fearing that Lin Qing would run away.
"Hmm? Is there anything else?" Lin Qing turned around and asked.
Zhu Kun pleaded, "Senior, please help me escape this predicament and leave this place, considering that we are all of the same race."
Lin Qing pretended to be confused and said, "Uh...aren't you the guardian of the ancient emperor's cave? Why do you need my help to escape?"
"Uh...actually, I was sealed here by the ancient emperor Tuoshe through a trick, to guard his ancient emperor's cave. Thousands of years have passed now, and I hope..."
"No saving them."
Those two words completely shut Zhu Kun up, leaving him unable to utter another word.
"Don't say I don't care about our shared dragon heritage. You'll be free in a few decades at most. That's all I have to say. Farewell!"
After saying that, without giving Zhu Kun a chance to speak, he rushed back the way he came.
"Senior...Senior..." Disappointed, he had finally managed to escape, but the opportunity was lost just like that.
"However, given his strength as a Dou Di, he wouldn't lie to me about the decades he mentioned. I've waited for thousands of years, what's a few decades?" His mood improved considerably.
"Huh? What is that?" Zhu Kun saw a box several hundred meters in size flying towards him from a distance.
"I'll be staying for several decades, and it's not right for me to leave just like that, so I'll give you these snacks."
"And this, a handheld console with dozens of games, was crafted by me using a secret method. You can input your battle qi and transform it into the energy of this magical artifact."
Lin Qing's voice followed, and soon the large box stopped in front of Zhu Kun. There was also a palm-sized handheld game console on the box.
"Snacks? Could it be the same thing that you ate before, senior?" Zhu Kun's huge figure flashed with purple light and transformed into a middle-aged human man.
"It has no spiritual energy and contains a lot of impurities, but the taste is still pretty good." Zhu Kun ate the spicy strip with relish.
Although he had a storage ring, the food inside had long been eaten up over thousands of years.
If it weren't for his strong physique, which allowed him to survive without needing to eat, he would have starved to death long ago.
