The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Now that I'm here, there's no need to hesitate.

With a leap as small as an ant, he arrived above the crater.

It continues to fall in free fall.

His Seventy-Two Transformations were truly extraordinary; none of the blacksmiths and weapon makers around him noticed his presence.

He slowly and leisurely landed in the lava.

An ant accidentally falls into the water; such an event would go unnoticed by anyone.

In contrast, Zheng Tuo felt an incredibly intense heat envelop him the moment he landed in the lava lake.

Fortunately, he possessed the Vermilion Bird Divine Flame, which allowed him to withstand such intense heat. Otherwise, he would have been burned to death in an instant.

A thought struck him, and he immediately transformed into a fire ant, continuing his descent.

He had no idea what was in the lava lake. All he could do now was to conceal his presence, drift downstream, and enter the lava lake to investigate.

As he continued to fall, the surrounding heat intensified, and soon he began to find the intense fire energy unbearable.

Faced with this situation, he could only activate the Vermilion Bird Dao Pattern to envelop himself within it.

With the protection of the Vermilion Bird Dao Pattern, he was much better off.

Simultaneously.

He moved swiftly to the edge of the lava lake to take a look.

There were walls blocking the edge of the lava lake. These walls were incredibly hard, and he tried to break through them, but ultimately there was no chance of them being broken.

The surrounding walls were as hard as the World Barrier, far beyond his current strength to break.

What exactly is this place?
Filled with doubt, Zheng Tuo continued to descend cautiously, sending out reconnaissance puppets to investigate the surrounding situation.

During his investigation.

The lava lake is not very large, only about 10,000 square meters in area, and the surrounding walls are as strong as the World Barrier.

This scene reminded him of the situation deep within the Mythical Arena.

Deep within the Mythical Arena lies another lava lake, with a cracked area at its bottom.

I just don't know what the situation will be like here.

He proceeded cautiously, and soon arrived at the deepest part of the lava lake.

That is?

During his exploration, he discovered that there was indeed a crack in the center of the lava lake.

and many more!

He frowned slightly as he explored the area and was surprised to find that there was actually a divine array here.

correct.

The lava lake where he was now was actually a divine array, and this array was enveloping the crack and constantly devouring the power surging out from it.

Or.

Someone is using the power of a divine array to devour the power within the crack, and this power is the White Tiger Dao Pattern.

Zheng Tuo suddenly realized something.

He was inclined to investigate.

Just then, danger approached.

brush!
He immediately dodged to the side, and where he had just stood, a crimson battle axe appeared.

Turning his head, he saw a red-haired boy staring at him warily.

"Who are you? State your name," the red-haired youth said, his words filled with domineering force.

Zheng Tuo was wary of the powerful strength of the half-step Breaker!
He could tell that the red-haired boy was very strong.

"I am a disciple of the Wanbao Sect, and I was specifically sent to investigate the situation here," Zheng Tuo lied.

"Liar! If you are a disciple of the Wanbao Sect, why don't you recognize me?" The red-haired youth seemed to be quite famous.

Zheng Tuo's heart skipped a beat.

He glanced at the still-childish red-haired boy and couldn't help but think of a peerless prodigy from the Wanbao Sect, the Red-Haired Yama.

According to his understanding, there was a red-haired Yama in the Wanbao Juedi, who was extremely powerful and the strongest of this generation.

I never expected to encounter the Red-Haired Yama here.

"Could it be that you are the Crimson-Haired Yama of my Myriad Treasures Sect?" Zheng Tuo asked tentatively.

"You are indeed not a disciple of my Wanbao Sect."

"How can I see it!"

"In the Wanbao Sect, who dares to call me Crimson-Haired Yama? So you must be an outsider." Crimson-Haired Yama tightened his grip on the Yama Axe, his expression full of hostility.

Seeing that he had been seen through, Zheng Tuo began to rack his brains.

"I am indeed not a disciple of the Wanbao Sect, but please believe me, fellow Daoist, that I entered this place unintentionally and did not come here on purpose." Zheng Tuo tried to explain, but the Crimson-Haired Yama attacked directly.

His Yama Axe came hurtling down, and Zheng Tuo dared not fight back, so he could only turn and run away.

But right now.

hum!
The surrounding divine array was activated, trapping him there and preventing him from leaving.

Got it!

With his current combat strength, he is simply unable to shatter the divine array, or even break it.

Now that we're trapped here, it seems like there's only one way out: death.

of course.

Unless he can defeat this red-haired Yama.

He turned his head and looked at the red-haired Yama.

The Red-Haired Yama has red hair, a bare upper body, and his whole body is full of lean flesh.

The Yama Axe in his hand is a supreme innate treasure with extremely terrifying power.

Every time Zheng Tuo swung the Yama's Axe, he felt as if he were about to be cleaved in two.

Faced with this situation, he dared not confront the Yama Axe head-on, and could only attack from the side, launching a series of attacks in an attempt to defeat the Crimson-Haired Yama.

however.

The Red-Haired Yama did not defend against his attack at all, allowing the flying swords he threw to strike his body.

Its physical body is a weapon in itself, and it cannot be damaged at all.

Good heavens, as expected of the strongest prodigy of the Wanbao Sect, his physical body has been transformed into the most indestructible magic weapon, and he can actually withstand my attacks without any damage.

With such a powerful physique and the Yama Axe in his hand, Zheng Tuo was beaten so badly he could hardly speak.

at the same time.

Places Zheng Tuo cannot see.

An elderly man with red hair stood with his hands behind his back, calmly watching this scene unfold.

The red-haired elder had no intention of making a move; he merely manipulated the divine array to trap the two within it, allowing them to fight and battle.

Obviously.

The red-haired old man is the guardian of this treasure-filled land, and the red-haired Yama is his grandson.

He had long since discovered that someone had invaded this place, but he was in no hurry to take action.

Firstly, he wanted to see what the intruder's purpose was; secondly, he called his grandson over to fight the intruder.

In his view, this intruder was very powerful and could serve as a whetstone for his grandson, helping him grow.

and so.

Under his manipulation, the situation has become what it is today.

He didn't make a move; he simply watched the scene unfold quietly.

On the battlefield, Zheng Tuo had already sensed that someone was watching him in the dark.

It's obvious without even guessing that a being who has broken through the barrier must be stationed here.

Despite being extremely cautious, it seems I still underestimated the protection Wanbao Jue Di provided to this place.

Now trapped here, with a barrier-breaker controlling a divine array to imprison him outside, and the Crimson-Haired Yama launching a fierce attack on him from the front, he is in a passive position and could be killed at any moment. And that's not all.

He had already realized that the being who broke through the barrier outside hadn't targeted him, but rather intended to use him as a whetstone for the Crimson-Haired Yama, helping the Crimson-Haired Yama grow stronger.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but rack his brains, trying to come up with a solution.

But the Crimson-Haired Yama gave him no chance to think and attacked him directly.

Left with no other option, Zheng Tuo had to fight back.

His fists surged with power, and Vermilion Bird Dao patterns raged forth. With a loud bang, they collided with the Yama Axe.

The two separated, and Zheng Tuo's fists were in so much pain that they almost cracked.

The power of the Yama Axe was truly beyond his control.

On the other hand, the Crimson-Haired Yama was slightly taken aback when he saw this scene!
Others may not know the power of the Yama Axe, but he knows exactly how powerful it is.

Who is this guy in front of me? He actually managed to take a blow from my Yama Axe head-on with both fists.

As expected of someone my grandfather valued, she truly became my whetstone.

"What's your name?" The Red-Haired Yama stopped his attack.

Does it matter what my name is?

“I, the Crimson-Haired Yama, do not kill nameless individuals. Since you were able to withstand one of my attacks with your bare fists, that is enough for me to know your name. When you return to the Yama's Palace, you may mention my name. In your next life, do not be a cultivator again.”

The Red-Haired Yama was very confident.

A fiery power surged around him, and his aura was exceptionally strong.

Such strength at such a young age made Zheng Tuo marvel at the vastness of the world and the countless powerful individuals within it.

First, he faced off against the Immortal Emperor, and then he clashed with the Sea God. Now, the potential of this Crimson-Haired Yama is probably no less than that of the two.

The primordial immortal realm is vast and boundless, with countless cultivators, and naturally, many extraordinary talents are born there.

"My name is Red Dragon."

Zheng Tuo's reputation was not given lightly.

He intends to use this Crimson-Haired Yama as a whetstone to cultivate the Crimson Dragon Dao Patterns of the Crimson Dragon Ancestor.

There are nine dragon ancestors in the Nine Dragons Diagram. Now, he can take this opportunity to cultivate the Crimson Dragon Dao Pattern and integrate it into his Dao Fist to make his Dao Fist stronger.

Since we can't leave anyway, let's start a war.

"Red Dragon, you're right, I really like your name." The Red-Haired Yama's eyes flashed with excitement as he turned and killed Zheng Tuo.

Zheng Tuo showed no weakness.

Crimson dragon patterns surged within his fists, and with the support of the dense fire-attribute power surrounding him, his combat strength instantly increased several times over.

Sonorous!

His invincible fist collided with the Yama Axe, sparks flew everywhere, and both were forced back several meters, neither able to gain the upper hand.

Zheng Tuo clenched his fists, his fighting spirit soaring.

Who hasn't yet found a way to cultivate their physical body?

He possesses the indestructible divine power of Vajra through cultivation.

These divine skills come from Wuzhiqi, who was born with indestructible golden light and also cultivated these techniques.

He did not suffer any loss in this collision.

kill!

Without saying a word, he took the initiative to attack the Red-Haired Yama.

The two sides immediately began fighting on the spot.

The clanging sounds were incessant; the battle raged fiercely, with each strike followed by the last.

The Crimson-Haired Yama has great potential. In Zheng Tuo's opinion, the Crimson Flame Yama's potential is at least at the level of the Immortal Emperor and the Sea God.

However, because he was too young and lacked experience in fighting, he was unable to defeat Zheng Tuo despite his immense potential.

Zheng Tuo is now in his Dao form, and his combat power is only about 70% of his original strength.

But he has an incredibly rich combat experience.

He had been through too many battles, in which he was forced into dangerous situations countless times and nearly died countless times.

It was through this kind of training that his combat experience improved rapidly.

Now he has become a powerful figure, and when facing the Crimson-Haired Yama, he has gradually shifted from being evenly matched to suppressing his opponent.

Based on his extensive combat experience, he directly suppressed the Crimson-Haired Yama.

Unless the Crimson-Haired Yama can display absolute power to suppress Zheng Tuo, he will be suppressed by Zheng Tuo.

of course.

It will also be difficult for Zheng Tuo to defeat the Crimson-Haired Yama.

The physical body of this Crimson-Haired Yama was a supreme innate treasure. When his Crimson Dragon Dao Fist struck it, it was like striking iron, producing a clanging sound.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that his Crimson Dragon Fist could not harm him at all.

As expected of the Wanbao Sect's super prodigy, his physical body has been cultivated to such an extent that it truly inspires fear.

"Red-haired Yama, the name sounds impressive, but his strength really disappoints me."

During the battle, Zheng Tuo intentionally provoked the Crimson-Haired Yama, forcing him to use even more powerful methods to fight him.

The current Red-Haired Yama no Yama holds no interest for him whatsoever.

It's true that they have great potential, but unfortunately their combat strength is completely inadequate.

really.

Strong people all have the temperament that comes with strength.

The Crimson-Haired Yama was already known for his fiery temper, and upon hearing such sharp sarcasm, he instantly flew into a rage.

Yama's Dao patterns immediately appeared on his body.

hum!
The Yama Dao patterns transformed into a suit of armor burning with flames, enveloping him and instantly increasing his combat power several times over.

"Suffer to death!"

The red-haired Yama wielded his Yama Axe and charged madly at Zheng Tuo.

Faced with such an attack, Zheng Tuo immediately became interested.

Without hesitation, he unleashed his full power, demonstrating extraordinary skill.

The Crimson Dragon Fist was invincible, and the man was in his peak condition.

Sonorous!

The two sides clashed and became adversaries, neither able to gain the upper hand.

What followed was a series of frantic battles between the two sides.

The terrifying duel between the two powerful figures unfolded at this moment. Fortunately, the area was protected by a divine array; otherwise, the entire lava lake, the entire volcano, and even the entire Wanbao Sect camp would have been overturned.

However, due to the protection of the divine array, the outside world was completely unaware of the battle between the two sides.

High position.

The red-haired old man's eyes flickered as he watched the battle below with great satisfaction.

He was very clear about his grandson's potential, which was many times greater than his own.

Simultaneously.

He was also aware of his grandson's weakness, which was that he had too little practical experience.

This matter could have been easily resolved, but it was delayed.

Everything is because of the crack beneath the lava lake.

The rift led to a vast world, and if he wasn't mistaken, that world should be the world of the White Tiger God, one of the Four Celestial Spirits.

When a powerful figure from the Wanbao Sect discovered this, they established a camp here.

The legacy of the White Tiger God is unparalleled in the primordial immortal realm, something everyone desires. However, entering the White Tiger God's great world is no easy feat.

After struggling for centuries without making any progress, Wan Baozong placed all his hopes on his grandson, Chi Fa Yanluo.

The White Tiger God surely left behind a legacy, and with his grandson, the Crimson-Haired Yama, possessing great potential, he might have the opportunity to gain the White Tiger God's approval, thus inheriting his mantle and becoming a decisive figure in changing the fate of the Myriad Treasures Sect.
