The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Chapter 2966 Demon Tomb
Zheng Tuo was very surprised to receive such a message.

The message came from Yao Ruxian, who is now preparing to break through to the Breaker realm and invited him to come and help protect her.

He was quite familiar with both Yao Ruxian and Yao Rushen, having explored together and exchanged ideas.

Now that Yao Ruxian has personally invited him to his tribulation, he will naturally go.

After careful consideration, he realized that his current state was such that his Righteous Dao Body was locked in a stalemate with the Nine Yama Kings and could not move, and his Five Elements Dao Body had just entered a state of cultivation and could not move around recklessly either.

So, that leaves only the Dao Fist and Dao Body.

Furthermore, given that the title "Slaying Immortals" itself implies an acquaintance with Yao Ruxian, it's understandable that he would go to help protect the Dharma.

That being the case.

He then used the Daoist fist and Daoist body of the Immortal Slayer group to go to the land of the demon race.

There are many demons in the primordial immortal realm. Because of their large number and diverse races, the demon race, like the human race, has been divided into many factions.

Among them, the three strongest forces are divided into three groups.

The Demon Emperor Mountain is a group led by the Demon Emperor, with the Ox-Headed God and the Horse-Face God as his subordinates.

Then there is the Demon Emperor's Palace, which is led by three elders, all of whom possess astonishing combat power.

Finally, there is the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.

The Ten Thousand Demons Sect was personally created by the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons. It has the largest number of demons under its command, and the sect is a mixed bag, with all kinds of demons.

Demon Emperor Mountain, Demon Emperor Palace, and Ten Thousand Demon Gate are now considered the three strongest demon forces in the Primordial Immortal Realm.

The place where the siblings Yao Rushen and Yao Ruxian reside is the Demon Emperor's Palace.

The Demon Emperor's Palace is guarded by three elders. The three old demons are all very powerful, but it is not enough, so they invited me to help protect them.

When he arrived at the Demon Emperor City of the Demon Emperor Palace, he did not notice anything unusual. On the contrary, the surrounding demons cast strange glances at him.

The demon race and the human race once fought a great war that affected the entire primordial immortal realm. It can be said that the two sides were sworn enemies.

But that was a long, long time ago.

In the present-day primordial immortal realm, the demon race and the human race live in peace. Occasionally, there are battles between the demon race and the human race, but these are all personal grudges and not due to racial reasons.

but.

Zheng Tuo's arrival in the Demon Emperor City, the Demon Emperor's headquarters, in human form, made the surrounding demons somewhat uncomfortable.

Zheng Tuo disagreed with this.

Although he hasn't broken through to the Breaker realm yet, after killing Zhou Xuan of Undying Mountain, no one dares to underestimate him anymore.

Moreover, the power behind him had been displayed to many strong individuals, which made ordinary people dare not touch him.

among them.

Senior Bai Ze's intervention was of great significance to the demon race.

Bai Ze was originally a demon and had contributed to the unification of the demon race. He was later rumored to have perished, and his reappearance is a major event for the entire demon race.

Bai Ze once protected his Dao body by killing a god, and based on this alone, his identity as a slayer of immortals is too extraordinary for the demon race.

Think about it.

There might be a reason why Yao Ruxian would invite me to help protect her at this time.

The three major forces of the demon race do not interfere with each other on a daily basis, but in reality, all three forces have the ambition to unify the entire demon race. However, the three forces are relatively balanced, and it is impossible for them to eliminate the other two forces in one go and unify the entire demon race.

Now, the appearance of Senior Bai Ze has created an opportunity for this situation.

It seems that whichever of the three major demon races can gain Bai Ze's support will not be far from the unification of the demon race.

Zheng Tuo had a completely new perspective on this matter while on the road.

Having come to the Demon Emperor City, he did not wish to get involved in the internal affairs of the demon race. After all, he was not a demon, and if he were to participate, it would be illegitimate and improper.

His sole purpose in coming here was to protect the demon like an immortal and help him break through to become a barrier-breaker.

"Brother Shixian, how have you been?"

Yao Ruxian, dressed in purple, stepped forward with her delicate and boneless body, and spoke to Zheng Tuo with admiration.

"As you have invited me, Fellow Daoist Ruxian, how could I possibly refuse?" Zheng Tuo laughed heartily, displaying the demeanor of a powerful figure.

And right now.

Zheng Tuo sensed a strong hostility and turned to see Yao Rushen rushing over.

"Fellow Daoist Shixian, you've finally arrived."

The demon god's fighting spirit was boundless; it seemed he wanted to fight Zheng Tuo.

Zheng Tuo had anticipated this.

Originally, he and Yao Rushen were at the same level of power. However, he turned around and killed Zhou Xuan of Undying Mountain, making him famous throughout the Primordial Immortal Realm.

How could a spirited fellow like Yao Rushen be convinced of such a thing?

He wants to challenge himself.

"It's not a good place to fight, is it?" Zheng Tuo didn't mind fighting his opponent.

"follow me."

Yao Rushen got up and left the place.

“Fellow Daoist Shixian!” Yao Ruxian quickly stopped Zheng Tuo.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Zheng Tuo smiled slightly.

Even the demon immortal was helpless in the face of this.

His younger brother had too much pride. Now that his peers were breaking through and going out into the world, he couldn't suppress his fighting spirit any longer.

Yao Rushen directly invited Zheng Tuo to the martial arts arena inside the Demon Emperor City, a place only core disciples are allowed to visit.

No more nonsense, let's get started.

Faced with Yao Rushen's violent attack, Zheng Tuo used only one arm and kept his feet still. No matter how Yao Rushen attacked or what methods he used, he could not move him even an inch.

"Slay the Immortal, what do you mean? Why don't you fight back?" Yao Rushen's fighting spirit reached its peak.

"Ok."

Zheng Tuo nodded, clenched his fist, and threw a punch.

The powerful force of the punch raged across the heavens and earth, and in an instant, the entire world turned upside down and spun around.

When the force of the punch subsided, Yao Rushen was found to have lost consciousness and passed out.

One punch, just one punch, and he defeated the demon god.

Such a record left the younger generation of strong individuals watching in the shadows speechless, and even more astonished the older generation of strong individuals.

even.

The three elders of the Demon Emperor's Palace all wore serious expressions.

"I had long heard that Fellow Daoist Shixian killed Zhou Xuan of Undying Mountain with his half-step Breaker realm. Seeing it today, he is indeed extraordinary."

Old Sheep, one of the three elders, arrived with a smile, his eyes full of praise for Zheng Tuo.

"Fellow Daoist Shixian, let's have a friendly spar sometime."

Among the three elders, the eldest, Xiong, was robust and had a powerful aura, resembling a body cultivator.

"Old Bear, Fellow Daoist Shixian is a guest, you've gone too far." The last old dog stepped forward, clasped his hands, and apologized to Zheng Tuo.

The three elders of the Demon Emperor's Palace—Old Sheep, Old Dog, and Old Bear—though now in Daoist form, are the true rulers of the Demon Emperor's Palace.

The three of them clearly regarded Zheng Tuo as a Breakthrough Level being, so they addressed him as Fellow Daoist.

"The three of you must be the three elders of the Demon Emperor's Palace. I am Shi Xian. I apologize for disturbing you," Zheng Tuo said politely.

"No need to bother us, no need to bother us. You came here to help Ruxian break through her own limitations. It is we who are bothering you."

Old Yang greatly admired Zheng Tuo, and the admiration in his eyes had never disappeared from the beginning.

"Don't just stand here talking, come with me."

Old Dog led Zheng Tuo into the main hall to discuss matters.

Zheng Tuo may appear to be only at the half-step Breaker realm, but in reality, his mindset is already at the Breaker realm.

In the past, he would have been apprehensive in front of the three elders. But now, he seemed completely at ease.

The two spoke as peers and had a very pleasant conversation.

Finally, the three elders left, and Zheng Tuo was led to his residence by Yao Ruxian.

On the road.

"Brother Shixian, I never expected you to come and protect me." Yao Ruxian's words were full of tenderness, making everyone's heart itch.

"We're good friends, so I'll naturally help you if you need anything."

Zheng Tuo's visit was actually driven by his own ulterior motives.

Helping to protect the Dharma is no small matter, so he naturally wanted some good things, and the so-called good things were naturally the Dao patterns.

The history of the demon race is just as long as that of the human race, and the Demon Emperor's Palace is a very ancient power. It is believed that it must have many inheritances in its hands, and those inheritances all contain Dao patterns. If one can get hands on these Dao patterns, it will definitely be able to greatly improve one's Dao Fist.

He didn't mince words and stated his requirements.

"I can make the decision on this matter, but whether you can gain the approval of the senior demons depends on yourself."

"what for?"

"follow me."

Yao Ruxian led Zheng Tuo to a secret place.

The mountains ahead are majestic, making it a rare and precious place.

Within this precious land, there were actually tombs of varying sizes.

"This is the Demon Tomb. After the former Demon Emperor Palace elders fell, they would leave their inheritance here. If someone is recognized by the former elders, they can receive their inheritance."

Zheng Tuo looked at the mountains in front of him.

He did indeed see many tombs in these mountains.

“Brother Shixian, I have a Demon Emperor's Token here. With this token, you can freely enter and leave this place. As for how much recognition you can gain from the demon race elders, that depends entirely on yourself.”

Zheng Tuo took the Demon Emperor's Token and held it in his hand.

"When will you undergo your tribulation?"

"I don't know the exact time, but it will be soon."

"clear."

Zheng Tuo agreed and got up to enter the mountains ahead.

Looking at Zheng Tuo, who was entering the Demon Tomb alone, Yao Ruxian's eyes were full of anticipation.

She was incredibly curious about how many senior demons this extraordinary man could gain their approval.

As for her own breakthrough to become a barrier-breaker, she was least worried about that.

Zheng Tuo walked through the mountains with his hands behind his back, feeling everything around him.

Although this massive mountain range is a demon's tomb, containing many graves of demons, it is not eerie at all; on the contrary, it is peaceful and serene.

Especially at night, you can actually see all sorts of strange demons appearing.

They transformed into spirits, wandering through the mountains and playing by the river; the entire Demon Tomb was so beautiful.

Zheng Tuo, being in the midst of it, did not feel anything unusual; on the contrary, he felt very comfortable.

He came to a stone tablet.

The names that originally belonged to the demon race on the stone tablet have become blurred, and it is impossible to tell who they are.

Only the power of the Dao patterns left by that predecessor remains full of vitality, as if they were just carved on.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Tuo unleashed his power, wanting to see if he could resonate with the other party.

a long time.

He shook his head.

If he relied solely on other forces, he feared it would be difficult to resonate with the other party, but he felt unsafe using the supreme Dao patterns.

This place is not, after all, his own territory.

This is the Demon Tomb, a forbidden area of ​​the demon race. If I use the supreme Dao patterns to refine the demon race's Dao patterns here, I might be discovered, which could bring me trouble.

With this in mind, he didn't rush to use the Supreme Dao Pattern to test it, but instead wandered around and explored the place.

Yao Ruxian would occasionally come to see him, bringing some local delicacies.

The two found a secluded spot by a mountain stream and chatted happily.

Yao Ruxian is an extraordinary woman, not only with exceptional talent but also with remarkable insight.

During the conversation, I sensed that Yao Ruxian had an aura of wanting to unify the demon race.

He gazed at the breathtakingly beautiful Yao Ruxian at that moment.

Beneath her seemingly delicate appearance lies an incredibly resilient heart.

"Unifying the demon race is no small matter!" Zheng Tuo said intentionally.

Yao Ruxian was stunned!
She has never told anyone how this discovery of the Immortal Killing Technique was made!

Their eyes met, and she smiled helplessly.

"Brother Shixian is truly amazing; you saw through that."

She didn't deny it; in fact, she readily admitted it.

"You are amazing. I sense an unprecedented aura emanating from you, an aura that is enough to make you unify the demon race and become the first empress of the demon race."

Zheng Tuo's words were a polite remark, but they also served to give Yao Ruxian some confidence.

"The Demon Queen?"

Yao Ruxian had no interest in the so-called demon queen.

The reason she wanted to unify the demon race was simple: her parents died because of internal strife within the demon race.

She wanted to avenge her parents, but they told her that hatred would never end, and only the true unification of the demon race could end all hatred.

At the time, she didn't understand, but gradually, as she grew older and her cultivation level increased, she let go of much of the hatred in her heart.

As she witnessed the infighting within the demon race, the slaying of demons with boundless potential, and the rise of powerful human warriors, the idea of ​​unifying the demon race took root in her heart.

But it's just an idea.

Unifying the demon race is no easy task.

Unless one can reach the level of a fifth-level barrier-breaker like Bai Ze, one is not qualified to say the words "unify the demon race".

Zheng Tuo looked at Yao Ruxian, who seemed lost in thought, and knew very well how difficult it was to unify the demon race.

Putting yourself in their shoes, if you were to unify the human race, it would be an impossible task.

There are ten major sects in the original immortal realm, among which there are probably dozens of those who have broken through the barriers, not to mention the old relics in the shadows.

Even if his strength reached the fifth level of the Breaker Realm, he wouldn't dare say he could unify the human race.

In contrast, the demon race, though not as large as the human race, is not far behind.

If Yao Ruxian wants to unify the demon race, his own strength must reach at least the fifth level of the Breaker Realm, or even stronger.

"Take it slow. You are still young and have potential. Maybe in the future, you will be able to do it."

Zheng Tuo spoke of the demons within the drum, who were like immortals.

Encouraged, Yao Ruxian nodded without saying much, but she was already feeling as happy as a honey date.

In Yao Ruxian's eyes, gaining Zheng Tuo's approval seemed to be a very important thing.

This heart-to-heart talk caused their relationship to warm up rapidly.

The two, who were initially a little awkward because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, no longer showed any of their previous politeness.

As the two continued their conversation...

suddenly!

A mesmerizing light flickered in the forest ahead, immediately attracting their attention.
