The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Chapter 2968 Skeletons
Unaware of the nature of the demonic aura they were facing, Yao Ruxian activated her own magic to try and examine it closely.

however.

Just as she activated her own technique, she suddenly sensed a dangerous aura, but it was too late.

Wow!
The sound of chains could be heard, and upon searching, it was discovered that the chains were binding her feet.

"who!"

As Yao Ruxian shouted, she also made a move to cut the chains that imprisoned her.

However, even with the sharpest sword in her hand, she could not break the chains and escape.

Just as she was getting anxious, a figure appeared at the other end of the chain.

Upon closer inspection, the figure was exactly the same as Yao Ruxian.

Upon seeing this scene, Yao Ruxian was taken aback!
"who are you?"

Yao Ruxian asked aloud.

In contrast, the fake demon, who seemed like an immortal, also asked the same three questions: "Who are you?"

Upon seeing this, Yao Ruxian's heart stirred!
She looked at the other person, and the other person looked at her. Then Yao Ruxian noticed that the other person also had chains on their feet.

Chains bound the two of them together.

"May I ask, fellow Daoist, where is this place?" Yao Ruxian asked again.

Similarly, the fake demon's response was exactly the same as the question she asked.

Upon seeing this, Yao Ruxian realized that someone was probably manipulating all of this in secret.

She dared not make any rash moves, and while remaining highly vigilant, she secretly pondered how to escape.

Just then, the fake demon, Ru Xian, actually walked towards her.

Without any unnecessary words, the fake demon Ruxian brandished his immortal sword and immediately began fighting with the demon Ruxian.

Every move is deadly; every sword strike kills.

The fake demon Ruxian acted with unusual ruthlessness, as if she wanted to kill Yao Ruxian in one fell swoop, which greatly alarmed Yao Ruxian.

She dared not relax for a moment, wielding her immortal sword, fiercely battling the fake demon who resembled an immortal.

The two sides clashed for several rounds without a clear winner.

The reason is simple: the fake demon is like her shadow. The other party knows all of her tricks. This battle is like a battle against herself. She has no way to kill the other party.

Similarly, even a fake demon like a fairy wouldn't be able to kill her easily.

The fight between the two sides was extremely fierce, and it seemed that it would be difficult to determine a winner in a short period of time.

However, such a duel is not a good thing for Yao Ruxian, as the spiritual energy concentration in this world is almost non-existent.

She has expended a great deal of energy this time, and if she continues to do so, she will inevitably suffer a great loss.

Thinking of this, she wanted to finish the battle quickly, but the fake demon, Ruxian, didn't give her a chance at all, and for a time, she was caught in a bitter battle.

Just now.

She suddenly heard a voice calling him.

"Fellow Daoist Ruxian, Fellow Daoist Ruxian..."

The voices came from all directions, as if they were conversing with her from outside the world.

"Brother Godslayer, is that you?"

"Fellow Daoist Ruxian, why are you not moving at all?"

Upon hearing this, Yao Ruxian's heart stirred.

He was currently engaged in a battle with a fake demon, so how could he remain motionless?

and many more!

Suddenly, she thought of something and couldn't help but look at the fake demon in front of her.

Seeing this, the fake demon Ruxian finally smiled, looking exceptionally evil, which immediately made the demon Ruxian realize what was going on.

At this moment, he found himself in his own spiritual realm, and the fake demon in front of him was actually his own inner demon.

when?
She frowned slightly, as if deep in thought.

I didn't even know when I entered my own spiritual realm, or when my inner demons suddenly came out.

But no matter what, now that the situation was clear, she immediately relaxed.

She was well-prepared to face her inner demons, after all, she was about to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation of the Breaker, so she was quite well-prepared for them.

Now that the inner demons have surfaced on their own, let's deal with them here.

“Fellow Daoist Godslayer, I have encountered my own inner demon. You do not need to interfere. Just wait a moment.”

outside world.

Zheng Tuo nodded after hearing Yao Ruxian's voice, understanding the reason behind it.

It's best to deal with inner demons on your own. Even if you have outside help, you can still suppress them, but what will happen afterward?

Inner demons will never disappear; as long as a person has desires, inner demons will not disappear.

and.

The more powerful a being is, the more terrifying its desires become, and the more easily it gives rise to inner demons.

It is alright for mortals to have inner demons, because they have no power to help the inner demons turn against their own bodies.

However, once a cultivator develops a demon in their heart, that demon can possess the power to backfire on their physical body.

The more powerful a being is, the more likely it is to develop inner demons; and the more powerful a being is, the more terrifying its inner demons become.

This time, Yao Ruxian encountered her inner demon, which doesn't seem like a bad thing.

I believe they have a way to deal with this, otherwise they wouldn't have told me they didn't need help.

"Fellow Daoist Ruxian, please feel free to ask if you need any help."

After informing Yao Ruxian of this, he raised his hand and set up an array around Yao Ruxian to protect her from harm.

After settling the matter, his eyes flickered as he looked around.

At this moment, he and Yao Ruxian stood on a barren mountaintop. There was nothing around them, everything was gray and gloomy, and the whole world was in a state of twilight, a state where death could occur at any moment.

Being in this place, Zheng Tuo couldn't help but be extremely vigilant.

This world gives him a sense of danger.

At that moment, a chain appeared beneath his feet without his knowledge.

The situation was exactly the same as with Yao Ruxian just now; a guy who looked exactly like Zheng Tuo appeared not far away.

Heart demon?

See this person.

Zheng Tuo immediately identified the other party.

He had fought against his inner demons more than once. In fact, his first inner demon separated from him and went on a journey of no return.

In the days that followed, he faced his inner demons several more times, and even helped many others to confront their inner demons.

and so.

He has a wide range of methods for dealing with inner demons, and his inner demons are usually different from those of others.

The inner demon Zheng Tuo appeared very calm, even smiling, "Original body, it's been a long time, or rather, it's our first meeting. How are you?"

Zheng Tuo believes that the inner demon's composure is related to his own nervousness.

He is now a Daoist with a Daoist body and fist. This Daoist body of his has been fused with peerless immortal medicine and possesses an indestructible Daoist body. It would be a pity if he were to perish here.

"How did you end up here? My anxiety shouldn't be enough to summon you."

The birth of inner demons originates from desire.

Like some ancient people who are obsessed with immortality and use methods against their own will to prolong their lives, over time, they lose themselves, and their inner demons grow stronger and eventually take over. Right now, I'm merely wary of this world; this anxiety shouldn't attract inner demons.

“I didn’t want to come out either, but someone woke me up,” the inner demon Zheng Tuo replied.

"Who?"

"I don't know who it is either, but that guy is very strong, so be careful."

The inner demon Zheng Tuo actually warned Zheng Tuo to be careful, which left Zheng Tuo both amused and exasperated.

Are my inner demons really that unique?

“Original body, don’t make that face. I can’t help it. Of course I want you to be killed so I can take over the original body. But the guy who awakened me is very, very strong. I don’t know anything about him. If you are killed, I probably won’t be able to take over the original body. Instead, the guy in the dark will benefit from it.”

The inner demon Zheng Tuo was quite clever and fully understood the advantages and disadvantages involved, so he deliberately pointed out the pros and cons.

"I understand, I understand. So, are you going to leave on your own or should I see you off?" Zheng Tuo cracked his knuckles.

"No, no, no, I can walk by myself."

Zheng Tuo, the inner demon, understood that he had awakened abnormally and his combat power was less than one ten-thousandth of his original strength. If it were Professor Ruo, he would be blown up in no time.

Since he was going to be destroyed anyway, he didn't want to waste time and simply dissipated on his own.

However, before he vanished, he gave his own clues.

"The one that awakened me seems to be hiding in the mountain peak beneath your feet. Be careful!" The inner demon Zheng Tuo dissipated on its own.

Zheng Tuo, on the other hand, has returned to normal.

Is the reason in the mountain peaks beneath our feet?

Zheng Tuo looked at the mountain peak beneath his feet and did not make any rash moves.

Yao Ruxian is currently battling her inner demons within her own spiritual realm. If I were to cause any trouble, it could easily affect Yao Ruxian.

He believed that Yao Ruxian could overcome his inner demons, but he didn't want to disturb her because of his own reasons.

After suppressing his own thoughts, he raised his hand and released a large number of reconnaissance puppets to begin exploring the situation of the mountain peaks.

Before long, Yao Ruxian overcame her inner demons.

Yao Ruxian looked a little tired at this moment. After all, she had faced her own inner demons, and this battle was not easy for her.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Tuo raised his hand and unleashed a burst of power to help heal the wound.

Yao Ruxian did not refuse. Their situation here was unclear, and she needed to maintain her peak condition at all times in order to better deal with any possible situation.

Before long, seeing that Yao Ruxian's condition had returned to its peak, Zheng Tuo told her the information he knew.

"You've also encountered your inner demons!"

Yao Ruxian looked at Zheng Tuo in surprise.

Inner demons are extremely terrifying to the strong, because they are themselves extremely powerful beings. If one fights against one's own inner demon, one might easily be replaced by it.

I was extremely careful when I faced my inner demons, but this fellow Daoist who slays gods was so relaxed, showing no signs of injury, and could even heal me.

He truly is someone who can kill Zhou Xuan, a Breakthrough Realm cultivator, while only at the half-step Breakthrough Realm. He is indeed a figure I cannot comprehend.

“Brother Godslayer, as you said, the problem lies within this mountain beneath our feet. What are your thoughts?”

"It's very simple, just open it and take a look."

Upon hearing this, Yao Ruxian almost burst out laughing, because she had already guessed that he would say this.

She did not object, and Zheng Tuo took action immediately.

The Daoist fist danced, slamming fiercely onto the mountain peak beneath his feet.

bump!
The impact of the collision shook the surroundings, but it did not shake the mountain peak beneath their feet in the slightest; at most, it caused some debris to fall.

"It's really weird!"

Without saying a word, Zheng Tuo attacked again, unleashing several more punches.

Although he didn't use his full strength, he still used about 80% of his power.

The fact that the Daoist fist, with 80% of its power, could not shake the mountain beneath their feet even slightly demonstrates just how solid the mountain was.

"Good heavens, this mountain is practically a defensive innate treasure; it withstood my fierce attack unscathed!"

Zheng Tuo was unconvinced and wanted to go all out, but was stopped by Yao Ruxian.

"In my opinion, this place cannot be opened by brute force. The power you just displayed would leave a mark even on a defensive innate treasure. Look, there is not a trace of the place you attacked."

Zheng Tuo nodded but did not make a move.

He had previously managed to create cracks in the spatial barrier of this realm, yet he was unable to budge this mountain, proving the special nature of this place.

"let me see."

Yao Ruxian once sensed the aura of the demon race here, so perhaps this mountain itself is related to the demon race.

Just as Yao Ruxian began her investigation, the reconnaissance puppet Zheng Tuo had sent out returned and informed him of a message.

Upon receiving this news, Zheng Tuo rarely showed a look of shock.

"Anything discovered?"

Seeing Zheng Tuo's expression, Yao Ruxian immediately asked.

"Yes, and it's a major discovery. Follow me."

As Zheng Tuo spoke, he immediately took Yao Ruxian into the air.

In the blink of an eye, the two arrived at an altitude of 10,000 meters, with fog beneath their feet, making it impossible to see what was below.

Zheng Tuo raised his hand and waved it, and a strong wind swept past, dispersing the mist below them.

Then, the two saw what was below.

Directly below them was a mountain range, but its shape was quite peculiar, resembling a human foot bone.

correct.

The two of them were just standing on the little toe of the foot bone.

Now they are 10,000 meters in the air, and can see the whole scene below.

Not only that.

They continued to follow their gaze, and after the fog dissipated, they witnessed an incredibly shocking scene.

what is that?
At that moment, they actually saw the skeleton of a giant.

A colossal skeleton lay prostrate in the desert.

Zheng Tuo had seen giants before, but such a huge giant skeleton must have reached the level of a giant king.

To know.

Among the giants, the more powerful the giant, the larger its size.

At this moment, the sheer size of the skeleton beneath their feet was probably millions or even tens of millions of feet.

however!
As the two continued to move, trying to see what lay at the end of the giant's skeleton, an even more shocking scene unfolded.

At the end of the enormous skeleton ahead, there were even more giant skeletons, their size almost indistinguishable from each other, and there wasn't just one, but one after another.

"How could there be so many huge skeletons here!" Zheng Tuo was full of questions.

"These huge skeletons all look like the skeletons of giants. How did they end up here? And they all seem to be extremely powerful beings."

Yao Ruxian discovered the key to the problem.

There were nine enormous giant skeletons in total. They must have been incredibly powerful, considering how many years had passed in this world. The fact that their skeletons were still intact and so sturdy was proof of how strong they were when they were alive.

Things had gone beyond their comprehension; it seemed as if a fog lay ahead, waiting for them to unravel it.

"This place seems to hold many unknown mysteries. Should we continue?" Zheng Tuo did not want to risk going forward.

The demon, like a fairy, hesitated.

Just then, the eerie light that had guided them reappeared, seemingly directing them to continue forward and explore the unknown depths of the mist.
