The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Chapter 2810 The Underworld Emperor
The Emperor-grade black iron was right in front of him, but he couldn't refine it, which really made him itchy.

But what can I do if I'm itching to refine it? If I can't refine it, I can't refine it. For now, I can only put it away and wait until I'm stronger before slowly refining it.

With a flick of his palm, he tried to put away the Emperor-character black iron, but to his astonishment, he found that he could not take it away.

This!
Zheng Tuo was speechless.

Now that he possesses the Golden Emperor's Divine Body and his combat power is at the peak of the half-step Breaker realm, he still cannot shake the Emperor's Son, Black Iron.

He refused to believe in superstition and tried to take it away by force.

But all his efforts were in vain, and the Emperor-grade black iron showed no sign of moving.

They tried every means possible, used every kind of power, and even employed the Golden Fangtian Halberd, but in the end, there was no result.

His methods could not shake the Emperor's son, Black Iron, in the slightest.

Completely helpless, Emperor Zheng Tuo had no choice but to give up in the end.

Alright, alright. I can't shake the Emperor's Black Iron, so I'll take the Black Coffin away.

He activated the black runes, intending to check the condition of the black coffin. If there was no danger, he would take the black coffin away directly.

however.

When he activated the black markings.

hum!
The black iron bearing the character "帝" trembled slightly at this moment, establishing a connection with him.

"this!"

Upon seeing this, Emperor Zheng Tuo immediately wrapped the character "帝" (Emperor) in black iron with black patterns.

brush!
The Emperor-grade black iron actually landed directly in his hand, just like a magic weapon in his hand, allowing him to control it at will.

It turns out that the Emperor-character black iron is related to the black coffin, meaning that the Emperor-character black iron itself is closely related to the black coffin.

With a thought in mind, he directly used the black patterns to probe the Emperor-character black iron.

After careful investigation, he was surprised to find that the material of the Emperor-grade black iron was exactly the same as that of the black coffin.

Seeing this, he was completely bewildered, having no idea what the black coffin had to do with the Emperor-grade black iron, or where it came from.

Forget it.

There is too little information available at the moment, so there is no need to investigate everything.

Thinking of this, he immediately manipulated the Emperor-character Black Iron back into his hand.

A gentle touch revealed its icy coolness.

Despite being only the size of a palm, the Emperor-character Black Iron is incredibly heavy. Even a small piece like this weighs as much as a small world. If it were a complete piece, it would probably weigh as much as a large world.

Good guy.

Even the most precious innate treasures probably don't have this weight.

He couldn't help but weigh the Emperor-character black iron in his hand. Although he didn't know what power it had, just based on its terrifying weight, he believed that if it were used as a throwing object, its power would definitely be extremely terrifying.

Thinking of this, he quickly put away the Emperor-branded black iron.

Just as he put away the Emperor-grade black iron...

hum!
A powerful fluctuation suddenly appeared inside the black coffin.

Zheng Tuo suddenly turned his head and saw that in the darkness, some kind of creature seemed to be reviving.

"Quack quack..."

A strange, eerie laugh could be heard.

Subsequently.

He then saw an old man emerge from the darkness.

The old man was emaciated, like a dried corpse, and his scarlet eyes revealed his terrifying identity.

"Finally, finally out."

The mummified old man made a dumbfounded sound, his excitement overflowing.

Zheng Tuo frowned slightly.

He realized that it was because he had taken the Emperor-grade black iron that the old man with the mummified corpse was able to escape.

"Quack quack!"

The eerie laughter continued.

suddenly!

The mummified old man launched an attack, suddenly charging towards Zheng Tuo.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Tuo raised his hand and unleashed a golden light.

Sonorous!

The golden light collided with the old man's mummified arm, producing a metallic tremor.

The mummified old man's corpse resembled a sharp weapon, emanating a powerful aura.

"Little one, I will thank you."

The old man with the mummified corpse attacked again.

Upon seeing this, the Golden Emperor's divine body moved his palm, and the Vast Sword appeared in his hand.

brush!
The Haoran Sword flew out, instantly forcing the old man back.

"what!"

The mummified old man let out a shrill scream.

His tough body was actually injured, and it seemed that he could not withstand the attack of the Haoran Sword at all.

"Righteous Qi, who are you? How can you possess Righteous Qi!" The old man with the mummified corpse spoke with disbelief.

"You know the Righteous Spirit!"

Zheng Tuo was slightly surprised!

The Righteous Qi was a power he obtained unintentionally. Originally, no one in the world knew where the Righteous Qi came from, but now it seems that this old man with the mummified corpse knows something.

"Of course I recognize the Righteous Qi. That guy severely injured me back then. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been sealed here." The old man's voice was full of anger.

"Who is that guy?!" Zheng Tuo continued to press.

"Interesting. You possess the Righteous Qi, yet you don't know who it belongs to. Could it be that you developed the Righteous Qi yourself?" The old man with the mummified corpse spoke with disbelief.

"That's right, I did indeed comprehend the righteous energy on my own. What, are you scared?"

Zheng Tuo sensed the other party's fear. It seemed that the Righteous Qi had a significant restraining effect on this mummified old man.

"Fear? Hahaha, how could I be afraid? Even if you possess the power of light, let alone the righteous energy you have, I will not fear you in the slightest."

The old man with the mummified body was very careful, but in Zheng Tuo's opinion, the other party was afraid. He was not only afraid of the righteous energy, but also afraid of the power of light.

Otherwise, the old man with the mummified corpse would not have stopped attacking him; he would have continued to attack and kill him.

"So, you're not only afraid of the Righteous Qi, but also of the Power of Light." Zheng Tuo directly pointed out the other party's sore spot, immediately silencing the old man with the dried corpse.

"Those lunatics from the Light God Clan deserved to die, but it's a real shame that Hao Ran died."

"Haoran?"

Zheng Tuo keenly noticed a name.

He was completely unfamiliar with the name, but he figured it must be the guy who had comprehended the righteous energy.

"No need to guess anymore, that guy's name is Dugu Haoran, a true powerhouse."

The name Dugu Haoran was very important to the old man with the mummified corpse. He had once been defeated by him, but the old man had become his best friend.

"That guy is such a charismatic person!"

The mummified old man's words were filled with longing and reminiscence.

"who are you?"

Zheng Tuo asked this question at this moment.

"Who am I?" Upon hearing this, the old man with the mummified corpse immediately became defiant. "Listen carefully, I am the Netherworld Emperor, the only one of my kind in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

"The Underworld Emperor?"

Zheng Tuo had never heard of this name before; it must be a figure from a very distant past.

"You haven't heard of my name?" the Underworld Emperor asked in surprise.

"Should I have heard of you?" "I am the King of the Underworld, the dignified King of the Underworld. How could you not have heard of my name?"

“Senior Underworld Emperor, I have never heard of your name, not only in the Underworld, but also in the Underworld itself.”

Zheng Tuo realized that the old man who called himself the Underworld Emperor did not seem to pose any threat to him.

"Times have changed!"

The Underworld Emperor looked extremely melancholy.

"Hey kid, what's your name?"

"Junior Jin Wuyin."

"Boy, don't try to fool me. Your name isn't Jin Wuyin. But whatever, call me whatever you want. I have to go."

As he spoke, the Underworld Emperor rose to leave.

"Senior, wait a minute."

"What do you want?"

"I have many questions, and I hope you can enlighten me."

"What do you want to ask?"

"Where is Dugu Haoran, whom you speak of? What is the black coffin? Where did it come from? Who possesses it? And where did the Emperor-character black iron in my hand come from? And who possesses it?"

Zheng Tuo asked three questions.

"First of all, Dugu Haoran is dead, dead for a very long time. I don't know how he died. All I know is that he is dead. Secondly, I don't know where the black coffin came from, because it existed when I was alive. As for the Emperor-character black iron in your hand, I have no idea where it came from."

Three questions, but only one answer.

Zheng Tuo was not satisfied with this.

He felt that the old man, Hades, must know a lot, but he wouldn't tell him.

"Senior, I hope you will tell me the truth."

"Kid, your thirst for knowledge is too strong, which is not good for you. You should worry about yourself first and improve your strength to the level of a Breaker. With your current strength, knowing too much may not be beneficial. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Zheng Tuo understood the meaning of the Underworld Emperor's warning.

really.

This Underworld Emperor knew the origins of the black coffin and the black iron with the character "Emperor," but he didn't tell me.

He understood this, because some things, once known, would bring disaster upon oneself.

"Kid, you saved me once. Let me give you a heads-up: the black coffin and the black iron with the characters in your hand are extraordinary. You should study them carefully, as they may be of great use to you in the future."

Zheng Tuo was extremely grateful to hear the Underworld Emperor say this.

His perception was indeed correct; the Underworld Emperor harbored no ill will towards him.

He had no idea why the other party meant him no harm.

"Alright, kid, what else do you want to say? I have something to attend to and need to leave as soon as possible." The Underworld Emperor had just recovered and already had urgent business to attend to.
"Senior Underworld Emperor, there are still many things I want to know, such as the origin of this mythical battlefield."

"I don't know the origin of the Mythical Battlefield. It existed when I was alive, and I participated in the battle back then. However, I didn't go deep into it and didn't know what was inside before I was ambushed."

At this point, the Underworld Emperor appeared extremely agitated.

His purpose in going out this time was naturally to seek revenge.

How dare he ambush me! I know who that bastard is, and I will definitely seek revenge.

Next, Zheng Tuo asked about the things he wanted to know.

He learned from the Underworld Emperor that the original Immortal Realm was also a golden age, with all kinds of powerful beings, but they all perished and transformed into immortals over time.

The Underworld Emperor survived only because of his unique cultivation methods.

Zheng Tuo had many questions, and the Underworld Emperor began to show impatience.

"You kid, why do you ask so many questions?"

"Senior Underworld Emperor, please calm your anger. This junior merely wishes to know more."

Zheng Tuo said this.

suddenly!

He sensed danger approaching.

Followed by.

The Great World of the Old Turtle Immortal was rumbling, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the location of the Old Turtle Immortal's shell.

not good!

Zheng Tuo immediately left the black coffin.

Upon entering the outside world, look towards where the tortoise shell is located.

At this moment, the enormous tortoise shell was trembling violently, and countless stones and soil fell off it. Finally, an enormous, dark tortoise shell appeared before everyone's eyes.

"what happened!"

Emperor Zheng Tuo of the Jin Dynasty looked up, his eyes filled with vigilance.

at the same time.

On the tortoise shell, Zheng Tuo and Jiu Li'er were cultivating and comprehending the formation when a sudden change interrupted their cultivation.

"what happened?"

Zheng Tuo's eyes flickered as he looked at the enormous tortoise shell beneath his feet.

In his perception, something seemed to be reviving inside the tortoise shell.

His senses were correct; at this very moment, something was indeed awakening beneath the tortoise shell.

"Oh no, it's the aura of a vengeful demon!"

Zheng Tuo's heart stirred as he sensed the presence of the vengeful demon.

"Could it be that a vengeful demon is suppressed beneath the tortoise shell?" Jiu Li'er said.

"If nothing unexpected happens, that should be the case. Or rather, there is no vengeful demon suppressed beneath the tortoise shell, but rather a vengeful demon is born beneath the tortoise shell, and this vengeful demon should be related to the old tortoise immortal."

The seemingly carefree passing down of knowledge by the Old Turtle Immortal is actually filled with resentment.

It is not surprising that a vengeful demon has been born here.

"go!"

Zheng Tuo and Jiu Li'er had no choice but to leave this place.

After the two left, the huge tortoise shell slowly turned over, and after it turned completely over, everyone saw a person sitting inside the tortoise shell.

The man was entirely black, emanating billowing demonic flames, like a demon king emerging from hell, exuding a chilling aura.

"Wow! The vengeful demon has actually cultivated a true spirit, that's interesting!" The Underworld Emperor exclaimed excitedly upon seeing this scene.

“The vengeful demon has cultivated a true spirit!” Zheng Tuo repeated these words, understanding their true meaning.

"That's right. The vengeful demon itself has no spirit, only instinct. But the vengeful demon we see now has actually cultivated a true spirit. In other words, this guy has become a real living being, a sentient being, just like you and me."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Tuo nodded.

"The world is full of wonders. It's not surprising that a vengeful demon can cultivate a true spirit. However, I hope this guy is the enemy."

Zheng Tuo looked at the location of the vengeful demon, feeling quite worried.

"Kid, how did you cultivate to this level? Your mind is so simple."

"What do you mean, senior?"

“A vengeful demon is composed of resentment. Even if it cultivates a true spirit, it is still a vengeful demon. Since it is a vengeful demon, do you think it is good or bad?”

Upon hearing this, Zheng Tuo became wary.

The vengeful demon is already incredibly powerful, and a vengeful demon that has cultivated a true spirit would likely be even more powerful. If the opponent makes a move this time, it will probably be very difficult to deal with.

He didn't really care about it; he could just leave if necessary.

But he wanted the old tortoise immortal's shell and his inheritance; these things were very important to him.

and so.

It seems that the battle with the vengeful demon is a foregone conclusion.

He did not act rashly, and the powerful figures around him spontaneously gathered together to form an alliance, but they also did not act rashly.

In an instant, all eyes, without question, turned to the location of the vengeful demon from which the true spirit was born.
