The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Chapter 2779 A Great Defeat to the Evil Emperor, Taking Stock of the Gains

Ten thousand thunderbolts descended, unleashing devastation.

Seeing this scene, everyone knew it was over, it was all over.

Faced with such terrifying heavenly tribulation lightning, any living being or any magical artifact would be reduced to ashes.

however.

Zheng Tuo, however, did not think so.

His eyes flashed, and he could clearly see the Evil Emperor's Battle Blade within the heavenly tribulation lightning at this moment.

The Evil Emperor's Battle Blade was incredibly tough, managing to withstand the heavenly tribulation lightning without sustaining any damage.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Tuo's heart skipped a beat.

I thought the Evil Emperor's Battle Blade would be damaged as a result, but I never expected that the power of the Evil Emperor's Battle Blade would far exceed my imagination.

But then he breathed a sigh of relief.

The Evil Emperor's Battle Blade was not unaffected by the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning; it was merely powerful enough to withstand the force for a few breaths.

brush!
With a whoosh, the Evil Emperor's Battle Blade left the Heavenly River Water Palace.

This scene terrified everyone outside.

They also thought that the Evil Emperor's Battle Blade would be destroyed in such a terrifying heavenly tribulation lightning, but who would have thought that the Evil Emperor's Battle Blade would actually escape from the Heavenly River Water Palace intact.

brush!
Without a word, the Evil Emperor's Battle Blade vanished in the blink of an eye, fleeing the scene.

Seeing the Evil Emperor's Battle Blade flee in such a sorry state, everyone realized that the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning of the Heavenly River Water Palace was still too terrifying, and even a powerful magic weapon like the Evil Emperor's Battle Blade could not withstand it for long.

Turn around.

Everyone looked toward the Heavenly River Water Palace, which had stopped releasing the heavenly tribulation lightning.

Zheng Tuo stood alone in the void, appearing completely calm and unharmed, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

After experiencing such a series of battles, everyone present fully acknowledged Zheng Tuo's strength and understood that a new powerhouse would be born on this primordial celestial river.

Everyone was pondering this.

Just now.

hum!
The entrance to Tianhe Water Mansion began to slowly close.

Zheng Tuo has now mastered 80% of the Heavenly River Dao Patterns of the Heavenly River God. With this mastery, he can now open and close the entrance to the Heavenly River Water Palace at any time.

At this moment, he no longer hesitated and directly shut down the Heavenly River Water Mansion.

Although the whole process was somewhat slow, no danger occurred.

finally.

The entrance to Tianhe Water Mansion is now completely closed.

The people outside looked at each other, and eventually turned and left.

The once bustling riverbed suddenly fell silent, as if nothing had ever happened.

now.

Inside the Heavenly River Water Palace, Zheng Tuo let out a long breath, finally able to relax for the time being.

After a series of battles in the Heavenly River Water Palace, he was exhausted, both physically and mentally, and his energy expenditure was enormous.

"Congratulations, Lord of the Immortal-Slaying City! Congratulations!"

The Flower Goddess appeared not far from Zheng Tuo with a beaming smile, her exquisite face radiating joy, her words full of congratulations.

Zheng Tuo was not surprised that the Flower Goddess recognized him.

He clasped his hands together and bowed slightly, saying, "Thank you for your righteous help, Senior Flower Goddess."

"No need to thank me, no need to thank me. There's no need for thanks given our relationship." The Flower Goddess looked at Zheng Tuo with a smile, liking him more and more, and feeling more and more that her choice back then was right.

"Lord of the Immortal Slayer City, what are your plans next?"

The Earth God appeared in the arena.

The Earth God, now dressed in white, resembles a god, giving people an incomparably comfortable feeling.

Faced with such a deity, Zheng Tuo bowed slightly again, expressing his gratitude.

He was deeply grateful to both the Earth God and the Flower Goddess for helping him during his most critical moments.

The Earth God nodded slightly, acknowledging his gratitude.

"If you two seniors wish to leave, I can open the exit for you now."

Zheng Tuo understood that neither of them wanted to stay here for long, especially since the Earth God was injured.

“I do need to leave now. The battle just now injured me, and I need to go back and recuperate for a while. However…” The Earth God looked at Zheng Tuo, “Lord of the Immortal Slayer City, with your strength, you will probably break through soon and become a Breaker. If you want to break through, you can tell me, and I will be willing to protect you.”

Zheng Tuo was deeply grateful for the Earth God's proactive request.

He immediately stated that once he achieved a breakthrough, he would inform the other party and seek their help in protecting the Dharma.

After the two made this agreement, the Earth God turned and left.

The Flower Goddess did not leave. Although she is now in her original form, she intends to stay here.

Zheng Tuo did not drive away the Flower Goddess, because he knew clearly that the Flower Goddess needed his help.

He already knew about the Flower Goddess's situation. She had told him about her problems herself, so he wasn't worried that she would harm him.

"Senior Flower Goddess, the Heavenly River Water Palace has just been restored, and I have nothing to offer you. I hope you will forgive me."

"It's alright, it's alright. Go and do your thing. I don't need you to take care of me. Come find me when you're done. I have something to tell you."

The Flower Goddess was very aware of her own situation, and in her opinion, the sooner she entered the cycle of reincarnation, the better.

After Zheng Tuo nodded to indicate that he understood, he raised his hand and summoned the Heavenly River Immortal Whale.

Subsequently.

The Celestial Whale opened its mouth and spat out an enormous continent.

On this continent live billions of beings of the Tianhe Clan. Now they have returned to the Tianhe Water Palace. It seems that nothing has ever changed, but the aftershocks of the battle still linger between heaven and earth, causing many people to tremble.

But something unexpected happened.

The lingering aftershocks of the battle actually caused many members of the Tianhe clan to break through their limits and become even more powerful beings.

Upon seeing this scene, Zheng Tuo was initially surprised, but then he understood the reason behind it.

In the aftermath of that battle, there was the power of the Heavenly Dao of the Heavenly River Water Palace. The beings of the Heavenly River Clan were descendants of the Heavenly River God. At this moment, they clearly felt the power of the Heavenly Dao permeating their surroundings. As a result, they achieved a breakthrough and became even more powerful beings.

A blessing in disguise?
Zheng Tuo entrusted these matters to Tianhe Lan, the former head of the Tianhe Water Mansion. Although Tianhe Lan was still injured, she was no longer in serious condition and was fully capable of handling the various affairs of the Tianhe Water Mansion.

In contrast, Zheng Tuo returned to the Dao Palace.

He didn't rush to do anything. Instead, he had the Five Elements Immortal Body sit cross-legged and begin to comprehend the battle he had just fought, trying to learn more from it to make himself stronger.

Simultaneously.

Ye Xian also stayed by his side, and the two of them healed each other face to face. After the healing was over, they would continue to cultivate together to improve their overall strength.

He, who cultivated with Ye Xian, turned around and used his Dao body to move around in the outer area.

He sat upright in the Heavenly River Palace and took out the spoils from the Heavenly River Water Mansion.

The biggest gain was the original Dao patterns.

The five original Dao patterns of the Heavenly River God, plus one original Dao pattern of the Flame Emperor, appeared before him, radiating an incomparably beautiful halo.

The beauty emanating from the primordial Dao patterns captivated him; their elusive nature was filled with endless allure.

Even though this wasn't the first time Zheng Tuo had seen the original Dao patterns, he was still deeply attracted by them and couldn't recover for a long time.

He originally had eight primordial Dao patterns, and with the six primordial Dao patterns he now possesses, that makes fourteen primordial Dao patterns. One of these primordial Dao patterns belonged to Emperor Yan, and he had promised Emperor Yan that he would give this primordial Dao pattern to his only daughter, Jiang Liuli.

and so.

The original Dao patterns in his hand were actually thirteen.

The original Dao patterns that so many people desperately want to obtain but cannot, he possessed a full thirteen of, which he had to admit felt incredibly unreal.

He raised his hand and stored the six primordial Dao patterns into his Dao Palace for safekeeping. Then, he took out three divine bodies.

The Golden Emperor's Divine Body and the Ice Emperor's Divine Body are naturally beyond question; he has already completely refined these two divine bodies for his own use. What remains is the Flame Emperor's Divine Body.

The Flame Emperor's divine body is also powerful, and he possesses the Flame Emperor's inheritance, which allows him to cultivate the Flame Emperor's divine body and help it enhance its combat power.

If the three divine bodies were activated with the power of a Wallbreaker, they would be three Wallbreakers at the first level of the Heaven Realm.

Thinking of this, he became even more eager to break through and become a barrier-breaker.

Breaking through and becoming a barrier-breaker is inevitable, but it requires long-term planning.

Throughout history, countless powerful individuals have been struck by lightning and killed when attempting to break through to become Breakers. Not everyone who obtains the original Dao patterns can successfully break through and become a Breaker.

To know.

Becoming a Breaker is a low-probability event; it's not something anyone can achieve simply by possessing primordial Dao patterns.

His current cultivation of the Righteous Sword Qi is not enough, at least not in his mind. He needs to cultivate it slowly and with a long-term plan.

With something on his mind, he continued to examine the object in his hand.

brush!
The weapon-forging furnace appeared in his palm.

The weapon-refining furnace is small and exquisite, containing seven-colored flames with immense power, enough to incinerate even those who break through the walls.

This weapon-refining furnace was not a magic weapon of the Heavenly River God, but a magic weapon that the Heavenly River God obtained by exchanging primordial Dao patterns, with the purpose of researching how to break through his own limitations and make himself stronger.

Now that the original spirit of the weapon-forging furnace has been completely destroyed by him, he has taken action to reforge the weapon-forging furnace, thus making it a unique magical artifact of his own.

Besides.

The weapon-forging furnace can forge any magical artifact and also quickly repair any magical artifact, making it a rather good and practical magical artifact.

Looking at the small and exquisite weapon-forging furnace in his hand, he raised his hand and placed it into the hands of the Flame Emperor's divine body.

The divine body of Emperor Yan and the weapon-refining furnace were perfectly matched, and their combined power increased exponentially, which was the result he wanted to see.

In his view, having a large number of magical treasures is both a good thing and a bad thing; it all depends on how they are used.

If one cannot make good use of all magical treasures so that each treasure can exert its full power, then having more magical treasures is useless; in fact, it is more powerful to use a single magical treasure.

For this reason, he combined the divine body of Emperor Yan with the weapon-refining furnace to create an even more powerful being.

In fact, this was not a guess; rather, he had a reference point: the Ice Emperor's divine body and the Ice Emperor's sword.

The Ice Emperor's divine body and the Ice Emperor Sword are perfectly matched, and the power that can be unleashed under such a combination far exceeds that of using the Ice Emperor Sword by himself.

The Ice Emperor Sword is a supreme innate treasure. To fully activate the Ice Emperor Sword, one needs the Ice Emperor Dao Pattern. The stronger the Ice Emperor Dao Pattern, the more power the Ice Emperor Sword can unleash. However, my cultivation of the Ice Emperor Dao Pattern is insufficient. On the other hand, the Ice Emperor Divine Body itself possesses a sufficiently powerful Ice Emperor Dao Pattern. As a result, the Ice Emperor Divine Body is stronger when using the Ice Emperor Sword than when I use the Ice Emperor Sword myself.

This is why he fused the Flame Emperor's divine body with the weapon-refining furnace; the two are perfectly compatible, and this combination amplifies their power significantly.

The Flame Emperor's divine body, the weapon-refining furnace, the Ice Emperor's divine body, and the Ice Emperor's sword each have their own arrangements, and finally, there is the Golden Emperor's divine body.

He originally intended to use the Righteous Sword on the Golden Emperor's divine body, but ultimately discovered that the two were not compatible.

The Golden Emperor's Divine Body requires an ultimate metal-attribute magic weapon to achieve a synergistic effect. Furthermore, the Vast Sword requires Vast Qi to be fully activated, while the Golden Emperor's Divine Body possesses Golden Emperor Dao Patterns. Therefore, the two are not compatible.

Yes.

He possessed numerous magical treasures, but none possessed the ultimate metal attribute. Therefore, the Golden Emperor's divine body could only fight with his fists for the time being.

If I'm lucky enough to encounter the ultimate metal-attribute spirit iron or a magical artifact in the future, I'll give the Golden Emperor's divine body another magical artifact.

The three divine bodies then inspected this area, and he continued to take stock of the spoils.

Then there's the Milky Way Blue.

Tianhe Blue is very special. It was originally the natal magic weapon of the Heavenly River God, but the Heavenly River God used various means to regenerate it countless times. As a result, Tianhe Blue was transformed and became a supreme innate treasure with extremely high intelligence.

and so.

Tianhe Lan remains the master of Tianhe Water Mansion, and the entire Tianhe Water Mansion still needs Tianhe Lan to manage it.

Then there's the Heavenly River Palace and the Five Immortal Gods' Immortal Slaying Picture.

Needless to say, the Heavenly River Palace will be the most central location in the entire Heavenly River Water Mansion, and will be renamed the Heavenly River Temple to commemorate the deceased Heavenly River God.

Finally, there is the painting of the Five Immortal Gods slaying immortals.

The Five Immortal Gods' Immortal Slaying Diagram did not originate from the Heavenly River Water Palace, but from the Five Immortal Gods' Great World. Because it was severely damaged, he had long ago put it away for protection and had never used it.

Bringing it out now is a last resort.

But the results surprised and delighted him.

This set of Five Immortal Gods' Immortal Slaying Diagrams can fuse several magical treasures in his hands with his divine body, thereby unleashing even greater power. However, the conditions are somewhat harsh, requiring the power of the five elements to activate it.

Now he possesses the Golden Emperor's Divine Body, the Flame Emperor's Divine Body, Tianhe Lanlan'er, and the World Destruction Disc, which corresponds to the elements of metal, fire, water, and earth, but lacks the wood attribute.

However, he was not in a hurry. He would take his time and find a powerful wood-attribute magic weapon.

Finally, he took out a seven-colored treasure box.

The seven-colored treasure box given to him by the Heavenly River Immortal Whale is a treasure that can only be opened when one reaches the fifth level of the Breakthrough Realm. No one knows what is hidden inside!

Zheng Tuo stared thoughtfully at the seven-colored treasure box in front of him, eager to know what secrets it held.
