The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Chapter 2892 Demon Dragon Emperor

In the Azure Dragon Great World.

"Brother!"

Jiuli'er stepped forward with a smile, looking at Zheng Tuo with anticipation in her eyes.

"Junior sister, you must be tired from your journey."

Zheng Tuo nodded.

His so-called old friend was Jiu Li'er.

As a direct disciple of the Earth God, Jiu Li'er's mastery of the Spirit Summoning Array is more advanced than his own.

Just in case, he sought his help to resolve the problem of the Azure Dragon God.

"Not hard, not hard."

Clearly, Jiuli'er has been observing this place for a long time and has even begun to set up an array.

Zheng Tuo nodded, having met with Empress Long, and did not rush to set up the formation.

Seeing that Zheng Tuo was not in a hurry to make a move, Lao Long immediately understood the true meaning behind it.

"Young friend Lan, please feel free to state your conditions. If my dragon clan can meet them, we will do our utmost to help you."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Tuo didn't keep him in suspense and said, "Two conditions."

"My friend, please tell me."

"My first condition is that when I break through to become a Wall Breaker, a powerful member of the Dragon Clan will step in and become my protector, helping me complete the breakthrough."

For Zheng Tuo, becoming the first "wall-breaker" was very important; any problems that arose would inevitably affect the future.

and so.

He needs someone to protect him, the more the better.

“No problem. If you can break through and become a Breaker, that would be a good thing for my dragon clan.” The old dragon readily agreed.

But Zheng Tuo did not mention the second condition.

He looked toward the Dragon Emperor, who was sitting in the distance, and waited for the Dragon Emperor's response.

In Zheng Tuo's view, although the old dragon was powerful and believed to have a certain status among the dragons, he was still not at ease with him.

He needs the Dragon Emperor to guarantee his safety.

The Dragon Emperor, who was sitting in the distance, slowly opened his eyes. His golden dragon eyes were full of majesty, which made Zheng Tu feel respect.

A single glance was enough to be a guarantee. Zheng Tuo continued, "My second condition is that I wish to borrow the Nine Dragons Map for a thousand years. After a thousand years, I will return it."

"this!"

Old Dragon hesitated upon hearing this.

The Nine Dragons Diagram is the most precious treasure of the Dragon Clan.

Lending out one's own family's most treasured artifact for a thousand years seems inappropriate no matter how you look at it.

Old Dragon dared not make a decision. He looked at the Dragon Emperor, whose golden eyes gleamed.

Seeing this, Lao Long immediately understood what decision to make.

"Young friend Lan, it seems that the Dragon Emperor has agreed to your request."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Tuo looked at the Dragon Emperor again. The Dragon Emperor's golden eyes flashed with countless golden lights, making Zheng Tuo dare not look directly at him.

Just then, the Dragon Emperor slowly closed his eyes, and Zheng Tuo finally felt a little better.

"Since you have agreed to my conditions, I will do my best to help the Dragon Clan solve their problems."

As Zheng Tuo spoke, he prepared to begin setting up the formation.

"Wait!" Old Dragon called out to Zheng Tuo, then looked at Jiu Li'er, "Young friend Jiu Li'er, what are your conditions? Just say them all."

"Conditions?" Jiuli'er asked thoughtfully. "Does your dragon clan have any powerful formations that I can see? Don't worry, I won't destroy your formations; I'm just learning them."

"There are some."

Old Dragon knew that Jiuli'er was a direct disciple of the Earth God.

and so.

When Jiu Li'er made such a condition, he could agree to it immediately.

After Zheng Tuo and Jiu Li'er had presented their conditions, the two began to set up the Spirit Summoning Array.

With Jiu Li'er's participation, the setup of the spirit summoning array went exceptionally smoothly.

After the Spirit Summoning Array was set up, Zheng Tuo activated the array using the Vermilion Bird Dao Pattern, Black Tortoise Dao Pattern, and White Tiger Dao Pattern as its foundation.

hum!
A powerful array of energy was activated, instantly enveloping the distant stars.

"Stop! Boy and girl, do you know what you're doing?"

The Azure Dragon Demon spoke at this moment, its voice booming and echoing throughout this world.

The voice possessed powerful magic, and Zheng Tuo and Jiu Li'er were simply unable to resist it, suffering heavy blows in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, Old Dragon intervened and helped the two block the Azure Dragon's inner demon's attacks.

“You two little ones, I am the true Azure Dragon, not some Azure Dragon Demon. Everything you see is fake. They are not dragons at all; they are dragons influenced by the Azure Dragon Demon. The consequence of what you are doing is that you will awaken the true Azure Dragon Demon, and then you will both die.”

The Azure Dragon Demon's voice boomed and echoed throughout the Azure Dragon Great World.

Zheng Tuo naturally did not believe such words.

He could clearly sense the fluctuations emanating from the Azure Dragon Heart Demon; there was no doubt that they were the fluctuations of a heart demon.

and so.

He directly activated the spirit summoning array, beginning to awaken the Azure Dragon God's innate intelligence.

hum!
With the blessing of the Vermilion Bird Dao Pattern, the White Tiger Dao Pattern, and the Black Tortoise Dao Pattern, the Summoning Array unleashed unprecedented power. In addition, since the three Dao Patterns were related to the Azure Dragon Dao Pattern, the entire Azure Dragon Great World trembled in an instant.

Seeing this, Zheng Tuo immediately realized that his method had worked.

He continued to activate the three powers, using them to further enhance the spirit-summoning array, attempting to awaken the Azure Dragon God's innate intelligence as soon as possible.

But truly awakening the Azure Dragon God's innate intelligence is no easy task.

The Azure Dragon God's strength is at least at the fifth level of the Breaker Realm, making him an extremely terrifying being.

With his current strength as a half-step Breaker, it will probably take him some time to awaken the Azure Dragon God's innate intelligence.

Zheng Tuo sat cross-legged on the core of the Spirit Summoning Array. In a daze, the three Dao patterns around him transformed into three kinds of living beings.

The Vermilion Bird, the Black Tortoise, and the White Tiger surrounded him, making him appear like a god or immortal, sitting peacefully in place.

Jiuli'er walked barefoot on the Spirit Summoning Array, constantly moving around, checking, and improving its quality.

Both performed their duties in an orderly manner, which made Old Dragon nod slightly in approval.

Although the outcome is unknown, judging from the current situation, the methods of this Lan Daoren and Jiu Li'er are at least not weak.

With that in mind, he continued to observe from the sidelines while protecting the two from being affected by the Azure Dragon's inner demon.

“Young Lan, you’re very smart, so you should be able to see how strange the dragons here are. They are not real living beings; they are merely the manifestations of the Azure Dragon God’s lingering attachments after his death. They are not true dragons; they are another form of inner demons. You need to see this clearly.”

The inner demon persisted in speaking, trying to convince Zheng Tuo that there was something wrong with the dragon clan.

But Zheng Tuo turned a deaf ear to this.

He knew all too well what tricks the inner demon had up its sleeve, so he completely ignored what the other party said and continued to focus on injecting the three Dao runes into the summoning array.

"Young Lan, since you have inherited the legacy of the Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger, you should be able to clearly sense my power. Sensing it with your heart, I believe you will..."

hum!
The Azure Dragon Demon's voice abruptly stopped. It turned out that the Dragon Emperor had intervened, completely blocking out the Azure Dragon Demon's voice.

Now that the Azure Dragon's inner demon voice was no longer interfering, Zheng Tuo was finally able to calm down and continue to activate the three powers to enhance the Spirit Summoning Array, in order to awaken the Azure Dragon God's innate intelligence.

Just as he was concentrating on his work, suddenly, the Vermilion Bird Dao Patterns showed unusual activity.

what happened?

The Vermilion Bird Dao Pattern was the first of the Four Heavenly Spirits Dao Patterns that he mastered, and it was also the Dao Pattern that he was most familiar with and most comfortable using.

The sudden change in the Vermilion Bird Dao Patterns caused his eyes to flicker with confusion.

Based on his own cultivation of the Vermilion Bird Dao Pattern, he discovered why it was behaving strangely at this moment.

Within the Vermilion Bird Dao Pattern, something seemed to be calling to him. The fluctuations were very small and subtle. If he hadn't mastered the Vermilion Bird Dao Pattern, he probably wouldn't have been able to discover its mysteries at all.

strange?
This has never happened since he took control of the Vermilion Bird Dao Pattern.

He found it strange that something like this was happening at this time.

He didn't pursue the matter further, but continued doing his own thing, continuing to activate the spirit summoning array.

As the spirit summoning array was activated, the huge star in the distance began to emit waves of energy, indicating that the spirit summoning array was very effective.

“Boy Lan, you sensed it, I know it, you definitely sensed it…”

The Azure Dragon Demon's voice came again, but it was immediately suppressed by the Dragon Emperor.

Zheng Tuo was completely baffled by these sudden words.

The Azure Dragon Heart Demon actually sensed the fluctuations it was sensing. What happened? How could the Azure Dragon Heart Demon sense this?

He was completely baffled by the reason.

But he did not respond and continued to focus on his own affairs, though his inner caution kept him on guard.

If the dragon race is truly as the Azure Dragon Demon claims, all of this is false, wouldn't that mean I might suffer a severe punishment because of it?

Although I am currently only a Dao body, if the other party were to search my soul, they would surely know all the information about me.

He didn't want to reveal his information because it was important to him.

With this in mind, he began to actively use the Vermilion Bird Dao Pattern to investigate the situation of distant stars.

The moment the Vermilion Bird Dao Pattern touched the Azure Dragon Star in the distance.

hum!
Zheng Tuo's consciousness appeared in a strange world.

This world is lush and verdant, with abundant vegetation and everything is full of vitality.

"Isn't it beautiful?"

A voice came from behind, startling Zheng Tuo into turning his head.

He saw a man who was over two meters tall, thin, with a long beard on his chin, giving him an air of otherworldly elegance.

"You are... the Azure Dragon God!"

Zheng Tuo had never met the Azure Dragon God, but he felt that the middle-aged man in front of him was the legendary Azure Dragon God.

The Azure Dragon God is the leader of the Four Celestial Spirits and the strongest being.

His appearance before him immediately earned Zheng Tuo's respect.

The reason he did not doubt the other party's identity was because he possessed the power of light and the power of righteousness.

Both powers possess the ability to detect whether the other's identity is evil, especially the power of light, which is extremely sensitive to evil inner demons.

At this moment, he did not sense any evil aura from the Azure Dragon God, which meant that the Azure Dragon God in front of him was not a demon, but the real Azure Dragon God.

"Senior Azure Dragon, may I ask what happened?"

Zheng Tuo asked patiently, wanting to know the information.

Just now.

Rumble!
A violent fluctuation suddenly emanated from this world, as if a powerful being was frantically attacking it.

At the same time, Zheng Tuo's physical body and Jiu Li'er's true form appeared in this world.

"Brother!"

Jiuli'er was completely puzzled.

She had just been barefoot on the spirit summoning array when she was suddenly teleported here.

"This is... the Azure Dragon God!"

Jiuli'er was intelligent and immediately recognized the identity of the Azure Dragon God.

"That girl has a good eye!"

The Azure Dragon God spoke with a smile, appearing very amiable.

As they were talking, a rumbling sound was heard again, followed by a mournful cry.

This world is under attack, and countless cracks have appeared in the sky, making it seem as if it might collapse at any moment, which makes Zheng Tuo very vigilant!

"Don't worry, he can't get in."

"Who?" Zheng Tuo asked curiously.

"Dragon Emperor, no, he should be called Demon Dragon Emperor."

"Dragon Emperor!"

Upon hearing the name, Zheng Tuo understood the gist of it.

"Could this Demon Dragon Emperor be your inner demon, senior?"

"No, this Demon Dragon Emperor is not my inner demon; he is merely a powerful dragon influenced by my inner demon."

"A powerful dragon clan member influenced by your inner demons." Zheng Tuo became more and more confused as he listened.

Seeing this, the Azure Dragon God continued, "Back then, when we, the Four Heavenly Spirits, were tricked and caused a great war in the primordial immortal realm, I was rescued by the Dragon Clan. During that time, I went into seclusion to rid myself of the evil power within me, but that evil power was too strong, and coupled with my severe injuries, it eventually gave birth to a demon in my heart. I fought against the demon and finally killed it, but at the last moment, the demon chose to self-destruct, releasing its power, which affected all the Dragon Clan members who rescued me."

Zheng Tuo and Jiu Li'er listened attentively and did not dare to interrupt.

The Azure Dragon God gazed intently at the great lake ahead. "The dragons who rescued me were corrupted by my inner demon power and became demonic dragons. Among them, the Demon Dragon Emperor and his demonic dragons have been constantly targeting my Azure Dragon World in the years that followed, trying to devour me and awaken my inner demons once again."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Tuo understood the reason.

It's likely that the Azure Dragon God's inner demon wasn't completely dead, and it interfered with the dragons outside, giving them an obsession: to suppress the Azure Dragon God's true form, merge it with the inner demon, and reawaken the Azure Dragon God's inner demon.

After learning this information, Zheng Tuo was very distressed, because they were obviously trapped here.

Given the Demon Dragon Emperor's methods, he would inevitably be suppressed and possessed if he went out.

"To be honest, we don't have much time left."

The Azure Dragon God looked at Zheng Tuo.

"What do you mean by that, senior?"

"Because of your appearance, I was awakened. My awakening caused instability in the entire Azure Dragon Small World. With the power of the Demon Dragon Emperor, it is very likely that he can shatter the world barrier of the Azure Dragon Small World. After all, the Demon Dragon Emperor possesses a portion of my power."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Tuo was dumbfounded.

I never imagined that I would play such an important role in it.

"So, what do you mean, senior?"

"It's very simple. You must accept my legacy as soon as possible, become the Azure Dragon Envoy, and become the new leader. Only in this way can you leave this place."

"Azure Dragon Envoy! The new leader!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Tuo felt a headache coming on.
