Ancient Void Dragon in the Magma World
Huo Yuhao put down the report in his hand and rubbed his temples.
Unrolling the scroll, a densely packed list of items appeared. Huo Yuhao's gaze quickly swept over the lines of text.
"Void Silver Stone— " His gaze locked precisely on an entry in the middle of the list. "Produced in places of spatial disorder."
The Divine Sense Clone closest to Black Emperor City immediately traversed space.
The next moment, Huo Yuhao's figure appeared silently in front of the Black Emperor Sect Auction House.
Shortly after the clone appeared, the heavy doors of the auction house opened from the inside.
A middle-aged man dressed in the uniform of the Jia Nan Academy, with a look of awe on his face, quickly stepped forward to greet them. He was none other than the new sect leader of the Black Emperor Sect.
He bowed deeply to Huo Yuhao's Divine Sense Clone, his posture extremely humble. "Chief Elder! Why have you come in person?"
If you need anything, just give the word, and I'll bring it to you right away!
Looking at the Black Emperor Sect Master, whose name was now listed among the Jia Nan Academy's faculty after signing a soul contract, Huo Yuhao's clone directly stated his purpose. "Please take me to see the Void Silver Stone."
"Yes! Please follow me!" The Black Emperor Sect Master dared not delay in the slightest and immediately stepped aside to lead the way, taking Huo Yuhao deep into the auction house's most heavily guarded treasure vault.
Soon, a piece of ore about the size of a person, with a deep silver-gray color and a surface covered with twisted patterns, was presented.
The ore felt slightly cool to the touch, and one could faintly sense subtle ripples of energy surging restlessly within it.
Huo Yuhao's Divine Sense Clone grasped the Void Silver Stone, carefully sensing the surging spatial energy within it. At the same time, he inquired in his spiritual world, "Mirror, the spatial power contained in this thing is quite good. Can it be used for the next step of repair?"
The Guardian Mirror ' voice carried a hint of criticism. "So-so! The quantity is sufficient, but the spatial power in this thing is too scattered. It definitely can't be used directly for repairs. We need to find some materials that can suppress energy fluctuations to assist."
"Materials to suppress energy----" Huo Yuhao pondered to himself, and a dark, heavy image instantly appeared in his mind.
"Xiao Yan's Profound Heavy Ruler has the property of suppressing energy—which is just right."
An idea naturally popped into my head. "How about—after a while, I find an excuse to help him upgrade, and while I'm at it, I can chip off a small piece? The ruler is that big anyway—"
Beneath the earth, Magma World.
This is the deepest part of the magma sea, where the pressure from all directions is exceptionally intense.
Even Huo Yuhao's clone, formed from divine sense, found his movements extremely difficult and sluggish.
At the edge of his field of vision, Huo Yuhao finally discovered the core lair of the Flame Lizardmen.
At the entrance to the lair, two Half-Saint lizardmen, their bodies milky white and their auras as deep as the ocean, floated silently.
Huo Yuhao held his breath and focused his divine sense, carefully observing them and the lizardmen's lair behind them.
"The racial structure of these Flame Lizardmen —it's not quite normal—it doesn't seem like a race that could have emerged from natural evolution—hmm?"
!
At that moment, a sudden change occurred!
The two Half-Saint level, milky-white lizardmen bowed their heads towards an empty direction in the magma sea, making a clear and distinct salute!
Then, they turned and went into their nest.
Huo Yuhao waited patiently for a while, making sure that the two terrifying auras would not come out for the time being, before silently sneaking to the spot where they had just bowed.
His divine sense, centered on Huo Yuhao, swept across the seemingly ordinary magma area inch by inch. Once, twice, three times...
Just as his divine sense swept over a region of magma with a slightly slower flow, hum!
A faint, almost negligible spatial fluctuation, like a leaf falling into a lake, quietly rippled through Huo Yuhao's divine sense!
"So there really was a hidden space!" Huo Yuhao's spirits lifted. "We couldn't detect it even at such close range! If those two lizardmen hadn't revealed our location earlier—"
Within the spiritual realm, a solemn expression appeared on the sphere of light of the Guardian Mirror: "To be able to create and maintain such a stable, independent space in a place like this, and to still cause my scans to deviate and fail to pinpoint its location—"
The Guardian Mirror ' voice was very serious. "The being who created this space must have reached at least the level of a Sovereign Earthly Being to have even the Sisi chance of success! It seems I truly underestimated your plane!"
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, his eyes becoming incredibly sharp.
A dense spatial energy began to gather in his palm. He stared at the area of magma, pondered for a moment, then suddenly swung his hand and struck it with his palm!
Buzz--!
Wherever his palm touched, the space rippled violently, like the surface of water!
Without the slightest hesitation, Huo Yuhao's Divine Sense Clone transformed into a stream of light and swiftly stepped into it!
As the entire body stepped into that mysterious space, the sound of flowing lava that had been filling the ears suddenly stopped.
What appeared before Huo Yuhao's eyes was a somewhat dark space. This space was extremely large, and a unique sense of vicissitude permeated the environment.
Huo Yuhao immediately activated his divine sense, rapidly expanding outwards from himself in all directions, attempting to ascertain the truth of this dark space.
"This is!"
In Huo Yuhao's divine sense, this space was not empty.
Directly below him, an indescribably enormous creature sat motionless in the void.
After a moment, Huo Yuhao was able to see the shape of this enormous creature clearly.
"A dragon?" Huo Yuhao's Divine Sense Clone uttered a silent gasp of surprise. The form of this giant dragon was completely different from any dragon he had ever seen in the universe where the Divine Realm was located in his previous life.
"A dragon?" Huo Yuhao was a little puzzled. He had never seen this giant dragon before, and it didn't look like the dragons in the universe where the Divine Realm was located in his previous life.
However, beneath this unfamiliar form, an extremely faint yet incredibly clear sense of familiarity quietly arose from the depths of Huo Yuhao's soul.
"It feels like I've seen it before?"
Just then, the body of the giant dragon below suddenly trembled slightly.
In the dark void, two light sources, like the sun, suddenly appeared.
The moment those eyes opened, they locked onto Huo Yuhao.
At the same time, an extremely terrifying pressure enveloped him, making Huo Yuhao's Divine Sense Clone unable to move an inch, unable to muster even the slightest bit of strength.
"This feeling! It's probably even stronger than that of Senior Gu Yuan — Nine-Star Dou Sheng!" The immense pressure descended directly upon Huo Yuhao's main body through this Divine Sense Clone.
"Tomb raider—may possess Ancient Jade?" A voice that seemed to distort the very space suddenly boomed!
Within the spiritual world, the Guardian Mirror leaped up and landed on top of Huo Yuhao's head, forcefully grabbing his hair, its voice trembling with shock.
"How is this possible? How is this possible? This dragon clearly possesses the aura of a Ninth-Rank Supreme at the Great Perfection stage—yet its power is definitely at the level of an Earthly Supreme!"
"It's extremely rare for natives of lower planes to even unleash the power expected of their current level, let alone possess power beyond their current level!"
Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment, then said seriously, "Is it possible that the cultivation levels on the Battle Qi Continent are not completely compatible with the Great Thousand World you mentioned?"
