The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Chapter 2778 The Second Whetstone

This is?

Zheng Tuo sensed an extremely familiar aura.

That aura instantly invigorated him.

original.

As the Evil Emperor's Battle Blade continued to unleash its blade energy, the Black Abyss Formation slowly disappeared. The more blade energy the Evil Emperor's Battle Blade unleashed, the less the Black Abyss Formation could maintain itself. Until now, the Black Abyss Formation had completely encountered a major problem, which allowed Zheng Tuo to sense the aura of the Heavenly Dao of the Heavenly River Water Palace.

After clearly sensing the aura of the Heavenly Dao of the Heavenly River Water Palace, he immediately guided this power to descend upon himself without hesitation.

hum!
The power of the Heavenly Dao descended from the Heavenly River Water Palace; it was an incomparably powerful force, and at this moment, it all descended and blessed him.

in fact.

He could have manipulated this power of the Heavenly Dao to unleash heavenly tribulation lightning to counter the Evil Emperor's Battle Blade, but he didn't, because he clearly knew what he needed most right now.

hum!
With the power of the Heavenly Dao empowered, he wielded his fists with Daoist fist techniques, instantly reaching his peak.

Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
The Daoist fist, when wielded, shakes heaven and earth.

He began to use the Evil Emperor's Battle Blade to practice the Heavenly River Dao Pattern of the Heavenly River God, and the method of practice was the same as his usual practice: integrating the Heavenly River Dao Pattern into his Dao Fist.

In this state he was most familiar with, he displayed an unbelievable power.

His fists were sometimes crackling with lightning and raging with thunder, and sometimes surging with the roar of a great river.

Showcasing his favorite Daoist boxing style in the rhythm he knew best, Zheng Tuo instantly leaped out of the abyss, plunging into extreme madness.

He continued practicing his Taoist boxing at that moment.

He already knew how to proceed on his path. He wanted to break through his own barriers using Daoquan as the foundation and become a self-breaker. The key to cultivating with Daoquan was to integrate the Dao patterns of various barrier breakers and make them a part of Daoquan.

Now that he has just received the inheritance of the Heavenly River God, he takes this opportunity to begin integrating the Heavenly River God's Heavenly River Dao Patterns into his own Dao Fist.

Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
Zheng Tuo displayed a powerful force, entering his most extreme state.

Despite being in such a state, he managed to withstand the impact of the two massive sword energies. Although he was still at a disadvantage, he was not convinced and continued to make forceful attacks, using his opponent as a whetstone to hone his skills.

secretly.

The Flower Goddess and the Earth Goddess were utterly shocked by what they saw.

Especially the goddess of flowers.

In her view, she had only been separated from this Immortal Slayer City Lord for a short time, yet in such a short period of time, his strength had increased to such a terrifying level.

That unstoppable momentum, as if it were about to break through and become a barrier-breaker, filled her with envy.

The Flower Goddess's true form is the Epiphyllum, an extremely ancient innate being. Originally, she should have been incredibly powerful, practically invincible in this primordial immortal realm. In fact, if she went all out, she would be invincible among those of the same level, able to kill those one realm higher, and able to ensure her own survival even two realms higher.

however.

It seems that the heavens played a joke on her, because her true form is an epiphyllum flower, so she can only use her most powerful power once, and she will die after using her most powerful power.

Such a ridiculous thing happened to her that she has never gone all out since she began her cultivation, because that would cost her her life.

now.

Looking at the Immortal Slayer City Lord, who had entered his peak state and was completely immersed in battle, she immediately felt an indescribable envy.

In this regard.

She became even more convinced that this Immortal-Slaying City Lord could help her, help her to resume her cultivation, break free from the constraints of this moment, and become a being like him.

The Earth God, who was also watching from the shadows, was filled with satisfaction.

He already held Zheng Tuo in very high regard, and seeing this now only solidified his belief.

Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
Zheng Tuo swung his fists wildly, entering a state of extreme concentration.

In this extreme state, his Dao Fist and the Heavenly River Dao Pattern began to merge at an extremely fast speed.

Because he was familiar with the route, Zheng Tuo appeared calm and unhurried.

however.

The Evil Emperor's Battle Blade, not far away, clearly possessed a spirit.

He was very dissatisfied with Zheng Tuo's current state of cultivation, where he was being used as a whetstone.

Swipe!

The Evil Emperor's Battle Blade unleashed two more bursts of sword energy, attempting to kill Zheng Tuo in one fell swoop.

Faced with such an attack, Zheng Tuo remained highly vigilant.

Simultaneously.

He controlled the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder of the Heavenly River Water Palace, preventing them from descending to destroy the Evil Emperor's Battle Blade.

To know.

The Heavenly River Water Palace is no longer shrouded by the Black Abyss Formation. In other words, any outsider who dares to use the power of a Wall Breaker in the Heavenly River Water Palace will inevitably suffer the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Blast.

Unless, like Zheng Tuo at this moment, he personally intervenes to stop the heavenly tribulation and lightning rewards.

His reason for stopping it was simple: to make good use of the Evil Emperor's Battle Blade as a whetstone.

The Evil Emperor's Battle Blade possesses sentience; this guy definitely wants to kill me and then take everything I own.

In his view, the Dark Evil Emperor was not completely dead. For some reason, that guy was looking for a physical body to inhabit, and the Heavenly River Immortal Whale, as a primordial being, was obviously the best candidate for that purpose.

He had seen everything clearly.

Even under these circumstances, he continued to wield his Dao Fist, using it to further integrate the Heavenly River Dao Patterns.

The more Heavenly River Dao Patterns he integrates, the more adept he will become at controlling the Heavenly River Water Mansion. Once he has fully integrated the Heavenly River Dao Patterns into his Dao Fist, the entire Heavenly River Water Mansion will become his small world. At that time, he can control the Heavenly Dao power within it to descend and fight against outsiders at any time.

The Heavenly River God possesses the strength of a fifth-level Wall Breaker. As a result, the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning in the Heavenly River Water Palace is also at the level of a fifth-level Wall Breaker. This terrifying power is enough to annihilate 99% of the Wall Breakers in the Primordial Immortal Realm.

Thinking of this, Zheng Tuo calmed down and resolved to use the Evil Emperor's Battle Blade as a whetstone to complete the refinement of the Heavenly River Dao Pattern in one go.

Despite the unexpected turn of events, Zheng Tuo maintained his usual focus and seriousness, immersing himself in the beauty of Daoquan.

Meanwhile, the onlookers were in an uproar.

All of this was due to the terrifying battle taking place within the Heavenly River Water Palace at this very moment. To everyone else, the Black Abyss Formation within the Heavenly River Water Palace had dissipated, and yet, no heavenly tribulation lightning descended.

Some say that perhaps the power of the Heavenly Dao in the Heavenly River Water Palace has long since dissipated, and the so-called Heavenly Tribulation Thunder will not appear at this moment.

These words were clearly addressed to the wallbreakers who were secretly observing.

Some people attempted to use the Wall Breaker to enter the Heavenly River Water Palace to test the waters.

Such clumsy words would naturally not be believed by anyone.

"If you ask me, the reason why the heavenly tribulation lightning did not descend is probably because Jian Shisan wanted to use this battle blade as a whetstone to continue honing himself."

Some people noticed something amiss.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately adopted a completely different attitude than before.

The fact that Jian Shisan used Hei Yuan as a whetstone to hone his skills was already astonishing. Now, not only has he killed Hei Yuan, but he is also continuing to use this battle sword, which has appeared out of nowhere, as a whetstone for his training.

Although it was still crazy, the people present had become accustomed to such madness, because the fact that Jian Shisan was able to kill the Wall Breaker was an incredible miracle in itself. Now, he was just using a battle sword as a whetstone, which was nothing special.

The various barrier-breakers present all seemed to be deep in thought.

For them, Jian Shisan is no longer the same as before. They believe that it won't be long before Jian Shisan breaks through and becomes a Breaker-level existence. At that time, with Jian Shisan's strength and methods, he will probably become the most sought-after existence in the Primordial Immortal Realm.

and so.

All those who broke through the barriers wanted to befriend Jian Shisan, not to become enemies.

Those who had conflicts with Jian Shisan, or even those who had targeted him, were now racking their brains, considering possible countermeasures for what they might face next.

Outside, they are naturally not afraid of Jian Shisan's targeting. In the Primordial Immortal Realm, it is very difficult for those who break through the barrier to be killed unless they seek death themselves. Otherwise, as long as you are focused on running away, you can ensure your own safety.

But this Sword Thirteen is probably different, because such an extraordinary existence has never appeared in the Primordial Immortal Realm.

Jian Shisan possesses four or five innate treasures that everyone desires but cannot obtain, and which even many who have broken through barriers do not possess.

Not only that.

There are three such innate supreme treasures, and now they have also obtained the inheritance of the Heavenly River God, acquiring the five original Dao patterns that the Heavenly River God possessed.

Based on this analysis, Jian Shisan is incredibly strong. Once he breaks through to become a Wall Breaker, he will undoubtedly reach an even higher level, a level that no one can imagine.

Compared to the various thoughts and intentions of those who had broken through the barriers, the remaining half-step barrier breakers, especially the younger ones, were all taciturn.

The resentment was written on the face of every young person.

Both are half-step breakers, both are super prodigies of the younger generation, and both have countless resources to support them. Why is Jian Shisan so powerful? Why can I only stand here and watch? Why are all the senior experts talking about Jian Shisan?

These prodigies possess their own pride; they will not submit to anyone. Even those who have broken through barriers are merely on the path ahead in their eyes. Given enough time, they can surpass all the barrier breakers present and become the strongest beings in the Primordial Immortal Realm.

It can be said that 99% of young people have this mindset.

Young people have their pride, and older people have their own plans. There's a lot of discussion outside, with everyone talking about various things related to Jian Shisan.

compare to.

At this moment, the Heavenly River Water Palace appears unusually simple.

The Evil Emperor's Battle Blade itself possessed sentience. When it saw that the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning of the Heavenly River Water Palace did not attack it on its own initiative, it immediately understood that the other party was using it as a whetstone.

hum!
His body flashed with a powerful aura, and he instantly unleashed nine sword energies.

Knowing he wouldn't have many chances to make a move, the Evil Emperor's Battle Blade unleashed nine sword energies in one go, attempting to kill Zheng Tuo in one fell swoop.

Faced with such domineering nine sword energies, Zheng Tuo felt unprecedented pressure.

He dared not be careless, so he immediately summoned the power of the Heavenly Dao to descend. After using the power of the Heavenly Dao to protect himself, he continued to swing his fists and continue to shake the nine sword energies in front of him with the Dao Fist.

His Dao Fist swept across the sky, wreaking havoc on heaven and earth, and he always maintained his peak condition.

The nine sword energies were terrifying. As they slashed down, they were like nine insurmountable mountains, descending with unparalleled power.

Zheng Tuo was under unimaginable pressure, but he was not worried about it because he was protected by the power of the Heavenly Dao at this moment, and the nine sword energies could not truly kill him here.

In the midst of their fierce battle, Zheng Tuo's cultivation of the Heavenly River Dao Patterns continued to improve, eventually reaching over 50%.

He was delighted by this methodical improvement. He told himself not to rush, to maintain his current state, and to continue his practice in this orderly manner.

But things often turn out differently than people expect.

Zheng Tuo thought the current situation would continue, after all, the Evil Emperor Battle Blade had done everything it could.

however.

The Evil Emperor's Battle Blade was far more powerful than he had imagined.

hum!
Suddenly, the Evil Emperor's Battle Blade unleashed a powerful force, followed by a surge of black mist that enveloped the entire Heavenly River Water Palace once again.

"not good!"

Zheng Tuo instantly realized that Hei Yuan was not dead, because the black mist at this moment gave him the feeling of the Hei Yuan Formation.

really.

The black mist surged, obscuring everything around it, and it seemed to be trying to shroud the Heavenly River Water Palace once again, severing its connection with the power of the Heavenly Dao.

Under such circumstances, he would not let the other party succeed so easily.

He immediately and forcefully activated the power of the Heavenly Dao, managing to block the surge of the black mist, but this also caused him to be distracted and endure unimaginable and terrifying pressure.

Now that things had come to this, Zheng Tuo understood that his cultivation would probably have to stop.

The Evil Emperor's Battle Blade realized his weakness: he couldn't concentrate on the battle. After all, the current level of combat was too high, reaching the level of a Breaker, which made it impossible for him to focus on the battle.

That's the case.

With a thought, he guided the heavenly tribulation lightning to descend.

Rumble!
Rumble!
Rumble!
The terrifying heavenly tribulation lightning descended at this moment, shattering all nine sword energies that were suppressing Zheng Tuo in the blink of an eye.

Before the heavenly tribulation lightning, the nine sword energies were like paper, utterly insignificant.

Rumble!
Rumble!
Immediately following, several bolts of heavenly tribulation lightning descended, fiercely striking the location of the Evil Emperor's battle blade.

In the blink of an eye, the Evil Emperor's Battle Blade was engulfed by the heavenly tribulation lightning.
