Father and Daughter Reunited!

"Human, leave immediately, or die!"

The two pale white fire lizardmen, seeing that Gu Fei and Zi Yan had not left, glared at them with cold eyes, their rough voices sounding again.

As their words fell, the surrounding lizardmen showed a hint of ferocity in their eyes, and the scales on their bodies seemed to darken.

"I'm afraid I can't comply with that. Today, I must reach the bottom of this magma…"

With the spread of his soul's power, the magma began to churn violently.

Under Gu Fei's immense soul pressure, all the fire lizardmen were pushed back, including the two half-saints.

"Urgh!"

The two white flame lizardmen spat out several mouthfuls of blood, staring at Gu Fei in shock.

The other fire lizardmen backed away in fear, staring from a distance at the figure that now appeared as terrifying as a demon.

The overwhelming soul pressure made their very souls tremble uncontrollably.

"Let's go…"

Gu Fei did not go for the kill. After repelling the fire lizardmen, he continued to lead Zi Yan deeper into the magma.

"Intruding upon the Ancient God's Mansion will bring down divine retribution upon you!"

Behind them, the two pale fire lizardmen rasped out a warning.

"Foolish humans, seeking their own destruction!"

The two pale fire lizardmen exchanged glances but did not attempt to stop them. They knew that Gu Fei had shown mercy and that there was no way to stop him.

…

Deep within the magma.

Gu Fei and Zi Yan continued to descend.

Their speed was fast, but the magma seemed endless.

Ahead, the path was always shrouded in the blurry waves of the magma.

"Gu Fei, is my father really at the bottom of this deep magma?"

Zi Yan frowned slightly.

The depth of this magma sea far exceeded her expectations.

Such an enormous feat seemed impossible for any human to accomplish.

Moreover, at some point, the magma around them had turned from red to a deep, almost black, crimson.

The temperature had also risen to a terrifying level.

Zi Yan could clearly feel that Gu Fei's speed was decreasing.

Even with his heavenly flames, it was becoming harder to dissipate the magma blocking their way.

Zi Yan grew worried.

If they went any deeper, even with their strength, it might become dangerous.

"Trust me."

Gu Fei gave Zi Yan a reassuring smile.

As someone who had traversed worlds, he was absolutely confident.

Suddenly, Gu Fei, who had been descending rapidly, came to an abrupt stop.

Due to the inertia, Zi Yan, who was following closely behind, pressed tightly against Gu Fei's back.

Gu Fei felt something soft hit his back, sending an electric shock through his entire body.

"What is it?"

Zi Yan's face turned red, and after a long moment, she shyly stepped away from Gu Fei, speaking in a low voice.

"We're almost there!"

In his soul perception, Gu Fei knew they had reached the bottom of the magma.

"It seems so, I can feel an intense spatial power ahead!"

Zi Yan nodded heavily.

Though still surrounded by magma, she could sense that another space lay ahead.

To be able to construct a space this deep within the magma, the creator must have possessed immense power.

In the next moment, they both tentatively stepped forward with their right feet, and as they did, their feet vanished into what seemed like a spatial distortion.

"Just as I thought!"

Seeing this, Gu Fei and Zi Yan boldly walked through.

The previously constant sound of flowing magma suddenly disappeared.

What lay before them now was a dark, silent, and endless space. This space, steeped in ancient history, had an aura of timelessness and decay.

"Gu Fei, have you been here before?"

Zi Yan, despite being the Dragon Emperor, felt a bit vulnerable as she leaned against Gu Fei, overwhelmed by the ancient atmosphere of the space.

She always felt safe when she was by Gu Fei's side.

"No, but I've heard of it."

Gu Fei smiled, not explaining much. Some things were just too unbelievable to put into words.

While Zi Yan pondered, Gu Fei took her hand and flew deeper into the space.

In the far distance, a faint light began to emerge.

As they drew closer, they saw that it was a stone gate- an enormous stone gate, tens of thousands of feet tall!

The stone gate stood silently in the vast space, as if it had existed since time immemorial.

Standing before the grand and magnificent stone gate, Gu Fei felt a wave of reverence wash over him.

At the top of the giant stone gate, three ancient characters were engraved: "Ancient God's Mansion!"

"Gu Fei…"

"Could this be the legendary mansion left behind by Tou She Ancient God, the last Dou God powerhouse of the Dou Qi continent?"

Zi Yan asked in shock.

The three ancient characters were not particularly ornate, yet in their simplicity, there was an overwhelming sense of authority, as if they ruled over all of heaven and earth.

"Yes."

Gu Fei nodded.

At that moment, he didn't focus too much on the stone gate. Instead, he summoned his heavenly flame to illuminate the dark space.

Zi Yan then felt something strange.

She looked down, and her eyes instinctively narrowed.

Because in that dark, ancient space, there lay a massive creature, an entity so enormous it was beyond comprehension.

The immense and mysterious creature was entirely purple-gold, with cold, hard scales covering its body, exuding a sense of power as strong as steel.

Suddenly, in the darkness, a pair of massive eyes, closed for countless years, snapped open!

The eyes were a pale red, with layered pupils, and just one of those eyes was hundreds of times larger than Gu Fei himself!

At the same time, an extremely terrifying pressure enveloped Gu Fei and Zi Yan.

Then, a voice that shook the very fabric of space resounded.

"Intruders… do you bear the Ancient God's jade?"

Hearing that voice, Gu Fei almost immediately explained, "Senior, your daughter is here. Don't you recognize her?"

"Daughter?"

As Gu Fei's words fell, the giant creature's eyes showed a trace of confusion.

The next moment, its attention focused on Zi Yan beside Gu Fei.

From Zi Yan, it sensed a blood connection.

"Child…"

The original ferocity in its massive eyes gradually softened.

The immense pressure around them also dissipated.
