The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Chapter 2957 The Immortal Realm Beyond the Primal Immortal Realm
Looking at the woman in front of him who looked exactly like the Vermilion Bird God, Zheng Tuo did not make any rash moves.

He sensed the aura of the Vermilion Bird God from the other party, and thought that he must be related to the Vermilion Bird God.

"You finally came."

The woman spoke, and her voice was exactly the same as that of the Vermilion Bird God.

"May I ask who you are, senior?" Zheng Tuo inquired.

"I am the incarnation of the Vermilion Bird God left here, existing specifically to wait for you."

"The Dao body of the Vermilion Bird God?"

Zheng Tuo carefully sensed it and indeed felt the aura and fluctuations of the Vermilion Bird God from the other party.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Tuo immediately bowed slightly to show his respect.

The Vermilion Bird God was of great help to him, and among the Four Celestial Spirits, the Vermilion Bird God was the first one he encountered.

Now that he has encountered the Dao body of the Vermilion Bird God, he should naturally give the other party sufficient respect.

"May I ask the Great God of Vermilion Bird, why is the Divine Fire Token trapped here?" Zheng Tu asked the question he most wanted to know.

The Vermilion Bird God looked at the Divine Fire Token, and upon seeing this, the Divine Fire Token immediately became enraged.

"Suzaku, how much longer are you going to keep me trapped? You're already dead, yet you still want to find a successor to trap me, ah..."

The Divine Fire Token went completely berserk, unleashing endless divine flames in an attempt to break free of the seal that imprisoned it.

No matter what.

The seal of the Vermilion Bird God was already powerful, and now it has been reinforced by Zheng Tuo, making it impossible for the Divine Fire Token to escape. It can only rage helplessly within the seal.

Seeing the Divine Fire Token so angry, even exuding an evil aura, Zheng Tuo immediately understood why it had to be suppressed.

The Divine Fire Order is a very well-hidden thing.

During the contact just now, even with my own power of light and the Dao patterns of righteousness, I did not detect the evil power contained within it.

Now, enraged by the appearance of the Vermilion Bird God's avatar, it has unleashed an extremely evil aura.

"This Divine Fire Token was originally the most precious treasure of the Divine Sun Clan," said the Vermilion Bird God. "However, because it had developed sentience, it was later influenced by the Dark Evil Emperor and completely fell into evil ways, attempting to devour all the flames of the entire Divine Sun Star and the Primordial Immortal Realm. Therefore, I suppressed it here and used the Vermilion Bird Dao Patterns to wear down the evil power within its body, helping it to reform and return to the right path."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Tuo understood the reason, and upon looking at the Divine Fire Token again, it was completely different.

The Divine Fire Token was no longer as dazzling as before; instead, it had become exceptionally evil, even exuding the aura of a Dark Evil Emperor.

"Is it the Dark Evil Emperor again?"

Zheng Tuo told the Vermilion Bird God about his encounter with the Dark Evil Emperor.

"The Dark Evil Emperor is very cunning. He had a grand scheme back then, which not only affected our Four Heavenly Spirits, but also many powerful individuals. Some of these powerful individuals were taken in as his subordinates, while others were suppressed by our Four Heavenly Spirits."

Hearing what the Vermilion Bird God said, Zheng Tuo realized just how troublesome the Dark Evil Emperor was.

In the primordial immortal realm, heroes gathered, but there was no truly unified dynasty, which gave the Dark Evil Emperor an opportunity to seize power.

If the entire Primordial Immortal Realm were unified by humankind, it is believed that the Dark Evil Emperor would have been eradicated long ago and would no longer be able to wreak havoc on the beings of the Primordial Immortal Realm.

"Great God of Vermilion Bird, I have a way to diminish the evil power within the Divine Fire Token."

The Vermilion Bird God looked at Zheng Tuo: "Your righteous Dao patterns can indeed wear down the evil power in the Divine Fire Token, but you must be careful. The Dark Evil Emperor's methods are extraordinary. You are the successor that the main body found with great difficulty. You cannot be controlled by the Dark Evil Emperor because of carelessness. I think the main body does not want to see such a thing happen."

"I see."

Zheng Tuo nodded and immediately took action.

He used the righteous Dao patterns as his foundation, transforming them into countless chains to bind the Divine Fire Token.

"Let me go, Godslayer! Who do you think you are? Do you think you can do anything to me with your righteous Dao patterns? I am the natal magic weapon of the Sun God. You dare to lay a hand on me?"

The Divine Fire Token unleashed raging flames, intending to annihilate Zheng Tuo in one fell swoop.

Just then, Zheng Tuo flipped his palm, and the weapon-refining furnace appeared in his hand.

The weapon-refining furnace opened, instantly devouring all the flames unleashed by the Divine Fire Token.

"what!"

Upon seeing this scene, the Divine Fire Token's expression shifted slightly.

In this world, there are actually magical artifacts that can devour one's own power.

Unconvinced, he attacked again, unleashing even more flames. However, the weapon-refining furnace itself contained numerous flames, which became even more powerful after being refined by Zheng Tuo.

This time, it not only devoured the flames released by the Divine Fire Token, but also absorbed them into its body.

Wow!
Wow!
Wow!
Countless chains bound the Divine Fire Token and began to frantically devour the fire attribute power within it.

The Divine Fire Token contained countless flames within its body. Under Zheng Tuo's control, the Weapon Refining Furnace made its move, attempting to devour all the flames within its body.

Once the divine fire has exhausted the power within him, the power of the Dark Evil Emperor within him can naturally be eradicated.

"You think you can devour the myriad fires within me? Your tiny furnace is unworthy. Come, come, I'll give you everything."

The Divine Fire Token erupted completely, unleashing its almost inexhaustible fire attribute power.

Whoohoo!
Whoohoo!
Whoohoo!
Flames surged and raged, dancing wildly within the weapon-forging furnace, while simultaneously transforming into various terrifying creatures that frantically rammed into the furnace, attempting to shatter it.

however.

Now, thanks to Zheng Tuo's breakthrough and becoming a wall-breaker, the weapon-forging furnace can be fully activated.

The furnace remained unfazed as various creatures formed from its flames crashed against its walls.

Upon closer inspection, the furnace walls of the weapon-refining furnace are engraved with thousands of Dao patterns, all of which are extremely powerful. At this moment, they have been activated and have blocked all the attacks from the Divine Fire Token.

Seeing that his methods were ineffective, the Divine Fire Token immediately tried to stop releasing its power.

He had been trapped for a long time, and his internal energy had been greatly depleted; otherwise, he would not have been unable to contend with Zheng Tuo, a being at the first level of the Breakthrough Realm.

however.

Releasing power is easy, but taking it back is not.

Zheng Tuo made a powerful move, frantically devouring the power within the Divine Fire Token, intending to drain it dry in one go.

Just now.

The divine fire caused the power of the Dark Evil Emperor within his body to surge forth, immediately bursting forth and attempting to corrupt the entire weapon-forging furnace.

"Humph!"

Zheng Tuo had been waiting for the other party to do this.

With a thought, a surge of powerful Dao patterns erupted from the weapon-refining furnace, instantly transforming into a powerful attack that repelled the emerging Dark Evil Emperor's power.

"Hahaha... Godslayer brat, your cultivation of the Righteous Dao Pattern is not up to par. I'm afraid you can't match my Evil Emperor Dao Pattern!"

Shenhuoling laughed heartily.

"Now that the strongest Vermilion Bird is gone, you little brat think you can do anything to me? That's utterly laughable."

As the Divine Fire Token spoke, it immediately activated the Evil Emperor's Dao Patterns, attempting to corrupt the weapon-refining furnace and even Zheng Tuo, turning him into its puppet to help it escape its predicament.

Faced with this situation, the Vermilion Bird God wanted to help, but Zheng Tuo stopped him.

"Since my righteous Dao patterns don't work, then see if this one will."

Zheng Tuo raised his hand and waved it. In an instant, the power of light appeared and transformed into an attack, which he then used to strike at the Divine Fire Token.

Faced with the power of light, the Evil Emperor's Dao Pattern had no chance of winning and was instantly annihilated into nothingness.

"The Power of Light!"

The Divine Fire Order was utterly terrified!
"Who are you? How do you possess the power of light? You are a member of the Light God Clan!"

Zheng Tuo did not respond to the series of questions.

He made a powerful move, shattering the evil emperor's Dao patterns with the power of light, and then continued to devour the myriad flames within the Divine Fire Token's body.

The Divine Fire Token is currently in a state of near-control, and if this continues, he may indeed suffer severe consequences.

"what!"

The Divine Fire Token let out a furious roar of resentment.

He attempted to use the dark Dao patterns to summon the Dark Evil Emperor for his help.

No matter what.

This wasn't the first time Zheng Tuo had faced dark Dao patterns, so he was well-prepared for it.

The power fluctuations released by the Divine Fire Token could not be transmitted outwards, let alone be received by the Dark Evil Emperor.

The weapon-refining furnace surged with powerful energy, continuously absorbing the power within the divine fire token, and the whole process proceeded smoothly.

“Godslayer brat, don’t you want the inheritance of the Sun God? I can give you the complete inheritance of the Sun God, as long as you let me go. I’m even willing to be a magic weapon in your hands.”

The Divine Fire Token was afraid.

Or rather, the inner demon controlling the Divine Fire Token was afraid at this moment.

He didn't want to die. He had finally managed to suppress his true form, and he didn't want to die because of it. He wanted to live, and he was willing to do anything to survive.

Zheng Tuo has not responded to this.

He has no shortage of inheritances, and although the inheritance of the Sun God is very tempting, it doesn't matter to him if he doesn't have it.

"The inheritance of the Sun God?" the Vermilion Bird God spoke up at this moment. "There is not just one Divine Fire Token, but nine. Only by combining the nine Divine Fire Tokens can one obtain the true inheritance of the Sun God."

Hear this.

Zheng Tuo's heart skipped a beat.

really.

Shenyang Tianfeng lied to himself.

There were actually nine Divine Fire Tokens. Shenyang Tianfeng hadn't told him such important information.

"Great God of Vermilion Bird, since there are nine Divine Fire Tokens, where are the remaining eight?" Zheng Tuo asked.

"In the hands of the Divine Sun Clan."

"So, does this mean that the Divine Sun Clan has also been corrupted by the Dark Evil Emperor?"

"I don't know for now, but at that time my main body had already taken action, absorbing the evil emperor's power within the Shenyang clan into the Divine Fire Token, and then suppressing it here. As for the current state of the Shenyang clan, I have no idea."

"Speaking of which, why did the Dark Evil Emperor target the Divine Sun Clan? What are the reasons behind this?" Zheng Tuo wanted to find out more at this moment.

Because he will absorb fire-attribute power on the Divine Sun Star to enhance his Five Elements Great World.

The Divine Sun Star is the territory of the Divine Sun Clan. If you can learn more about the Divine Sun Clan, you can be safer.

The Vermilion Bird God made no attempt to hide this from the world.

"The reason why the Dark Evil Emperor sought out the Divine Sun Clan is because the Divine Sun Clan controls the Divine Sun Star. In this way, controlling the Divine Sun Clan means controlling the Divine Sun Star. Furthermore, the fire attribute of the Divine Sun Star itself has a restraining effect on the Dark Evil Emperor's Dark Temple. This is one reason."

Secondly, the Dark Emperor intended to use the Divine Sun Star to unleash heavenly fire, causing widespread devastation to the primordial immortal realm.

Zheng Tuo seemed to be deep in thought after hearing what the Vermilion Bird God said.

"The Dark Evil Emperor himself lives in the Primordial Immortal Realm, so why is he always disturbing the Primordial Immortal Realm and trying to destroy it? There's no reason for it!"

"It's very simple, for the sake of cultivation," said the Vermilion Bird God.

"Practice?"

"The cultivation method practiced by the Dark Evil Emperor is quite special. It can absorb people's negative emotions as nourishment to help him cultivate. Therefore, he will constantly cause trouble and plunge the Primordial Immortal Realm into large-scale death, so as to continuously cultivate and become stronger."

Upon hearing Zheng Tuo's name, Zheng Tuo thought it was very likely.

"The harming of living beings for the sake of cultivation is unacceptable to the Four Heavenly Spirits who protect the Primordial Immortal Realm. Therefore, the Dark Evil Emperor took action against you Four Heavenly Spirits, which led to the War of the Four Spirits."

"The root cause is indeed so. The Dark Evil Emperor is extremely cautious. Even the four of us cannot find where he lives. It seems that at this very moment, the Dark Evil Emperor is plotting something terrible."

The Dark Emperor is a sworn enemy to the Four Heavenly Spirits.

Now that all four celestial spirits have perished, Zheng Tuo, as their successor, has an obligation to continue fighting against the Dark Evil Emperor.

As for Zheng Tuo, he had a grudge against the Dark Evil Emperor, and the two had fought fiercely and directly.

The Dark Emperor will not let me go; a great battle is inevitable in the future.

In this regard.

Zheng Tuo patiently inquired with the Vermilion Bird God, hoping to obtain more information about the Dark Evil Emperor.

The Vermilion Bird God was prepared for this and told Zheng Tuo all the information he knew, which gave Zheng Tuo a deeper understanding of the Dark Evil Emperor.

One piece of information in particular alerted Zheng Tuo.

"Are you saying that the Dark Evil Emperor is very likely not a native being of the original Immortal Realm, but comes from another Immortal Realm?"

According to the information from the Vermilion Bird God, Zheng Tuo learned that the Primordial Immortal Realm was not the only Immortal Realm.

There are other immortal realms in the dark void, and the scale of those worlds is comparable to that of the original immortal realm, and some are even countless times larger than the original immortal realm.

However, due to the unique nature of the Black Void, no one would risk venturing into it. Even those at the ninth level of the Breaker Realm could easily get lost in the Black Void and eventually die from exhaustion of their power.

and so.

There are no channels connecting the Immortal Realms, but that doesn't mean that powerful beings from other Immortal Realms won't come to the Primordial Immortal Realm.

Some people may accidentally get lost in the Black Void, or even be banished there by others.

Perhaps by accident, one has touched the world barrier of the primordial immortal realm and thus entered the primordial immortal realm.

And the Dark Emperor is very likely such an existence.

If someone else had said this, Zheng Tuo might have thought about whether it was true or not, but since it came from the mouth of the Great God Suzaku, he believed it one hundred percent.

As one of the Four Celestial Spirits, the Vermilion Bird God is the guardian of the primordial immortal realm, and he knows far more information than he does.

Yes.

He had heard about this information from the three powerful figures: the Black Tortoise God, the White Tiger God, and the Azure Dragon God.

Therefore, there must be another immortal realm outside the original immortal realm, and the Dark Evil Emperor probably came from another immortal realm.

Thinking about this, Zheng Tuo couldn't help but consider a possibility.

Could it be that in other immortal realms, someone has already broken through the tenth level of the barrier and reached an even more incredible realm?

The Black Void has no end, meaning it can contain countless primordial immortal realms. In this light, it's possible that someone has indeed reached a higher realm.
