The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Chapter 2971 The Phantom of the Demon Ancestor
As Yao Ruxian received the inheritance of the Demon Ancestor, Zheng Tuo did not disturb her.

He naturally hoped that Yao Ruxian could receive the complete inheritance of the Demon Ancestor, because only in this way could he have the opportunity to come into contact with the inheritance of the Demon Ancestor.

however.

Things did not go as he wished.

Yao Ruxian was receiving the inheritance of the Demon Ancestor without any problems, but soon, something happened to her, and she suddenly woke up.

"Little Fairy, how about it!"

The Fox Ancestor immediately stepped forward to inquire about Yao Ruxian's situation.

Yao Ruxian shook her head at this, indicating that the solution was obvious.

"Impossible. With your talent, how could you possibly receive the inheritance of the Demon Ancestor? Is there something wrong with you?"

The Fox Ancestor was completely baffled by this!

"I don't know why, but the inheritance of the Demon Ancestor started smoothly, but for some reason, it suddenly began to reject me, forcing me to withdraw, otherwise I might have suffered some damage."

Upon hearing what the demon-like immortal said, the fox ancestor appeared extremely angry.

"Demon Ancestor, what exactly do you want?"

The Fox Ancestor actually lashed out at the stone throne.

His expression was one of intense resentment, his hatred practically boundless.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Tuo immediately went to Yao Ruxian's side and asked her what had happened.

Yao Ruxian told Zheng Tuo about her experiences.

As the Fox Ancestor said, she had just received the inheritance of the Demon Ancestor, but unfortunately, the Demon Clan rejected her, which ultimately prevented her from succeeding.

Simultaneously.

Zheng Tuo obtained another important piece of information: Yao Ruxian's true form was actually a nine-tailed celestial fox.

In other words, Yao Ruxian is a member of the fox clan, and at this moment she has met the ancestor of the fox clan.

Therefore, this matter is probably not a coincidence.

"Since I cannot inherit the Demon Ancestor's legacy, Fox Ancestor, why don't I give it a try?" Zheng Tuo was willing to take action and inherit the Demon Ancestor's legacy.

The Fox Ancestor did not respond immediately.

He looked at Zheng Tuo thoughtfully.

Clearly, he was extremely hesitant about it.

finally.

"Since you want to try, then give it a shot. Perhaps, this is why you exist."

After gaining the approval of the Fox Ancestor, Zheng Tuo did not sit on the stone throne in his true form.

He is not stupid.

The Demon Ancestor's inheritance is a legacy specifically designed for the demon race. If a human were to rashly accept such an inheritance, he would likely be devoured and killed.

and so.

He sat upright on the stone throne in his Daoist form, receiving the inheritance of the Demon Ancestor.

Seeing Zheng Tuo's cautious demeanor, neither the Fox Ancestor nor the Demon Immortal said much.

And this moment.

Zheng Tuo's Dao body entered a world.

here it is?
Looking at the lush green world around him, Zheng Tuodao immediately realized that he was in the world of the soul.

Where does the inheritance lie?
He looked around and found no trace of the legacy, but he did see a figure.

He was a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a tall and straight figure. Just by standing there, he exuded an aura that transcended heaven and earth.

Yaozu!

Without a doubt, this person should be the Demon Ancestor, or rather, the legacy left behind by the Demon Ancestor.

Without a word, the demon turned and attacked him.

Zheng Tuo remained unfazed, brandishing his fists in a fierce battle against the Demon Ancestor.

The two sides fought fiercely in the world of the soul, their battle seemingly never-ending.

outside world.

Yao Ruxian was extremely frustrated because she could not accept the inheritance of the Demon Ancestor.

For her, inheriting the Demon Ancestor's legacy is absolutely the most important step in realizing her dream.

If one can accept the inheritance of the Demon Ancestor, then one is the true successor of the Demon Ancestor and is qualified to unify the entire demon race.

Unfortunately, she has now lost this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and as a result, her Dao heart has even experienced a huge fluctuation.

"Good child, this is not your fault."

The Fox Ancestor spoke at this moment.

"Ancestor!"

The demon, like a fairy, looked like a wounded little fox, appearing extremely aggrieved.

"You cannot inherit the Demon Ancestor's legacy, but I have the Fox Ancestor's legacy here. Would you like it?"

As the ancestor of the fox clan, Fox Ancestor greatly cherished the talent of his descendants who had produced such outstanding individuals.

"Although the Demon Ancestor's legacy is powerful, my Fox Ancestor's legacy is equally strong. You should use this as a foundation to continue studying the fox clan's techniques. In time, perhaps one day you will be able to surpass me, surpass the Demon Ancestor, and become the new generation's Demon Ancestor."

The words of the Fox Ancestor were like a wake-up call for Yao Ruxian, and she regained her confidence.

Subsequently.

The Fox Ancestor intervened, passing on his legacy to Yao Ruxian.

Yao Ruxian found an open space, sat cross-legged, and began to receive the inheritance given to her by the Fox Ancestor.

Zheng Tuo was filled with satisfaction as he watched this scene.

Although he did not obtain the inheritance of the demon race, he did obtain the inheritance of the fox ancestor. Yao Ruxian's gains this time can be described as enormous.

I believe that given time, Yao Ruxian will surely become a powerful figure among the demon race and a true leader.

Looking back at my own Dao body at this moment.

He was so close to his Dao body, yet he couldn't sense anything about it at all.

The Dao body seemed to be completely isolated from him.

Under such circumstances, he had many concerns.

It seems that all he can do now is wait.

at the same time.

The battle between Zheng Tuodao and the Demon Ancestor continues.

As the two sides fought and battled, Zheng Tuo could clearly feel that this scene was so familiar.

Just like the battle between the Fox Ancestor and himself before.

At this moment, while fighting against the Demon Ancestor, he actually sensed that the Demon Ancestor was using the battle to teach him fist techniques.

Because of his previous experience of being taught the fist techniques by the Fox Ancestor, he was now fighting the Demon Ancestor with ease, as if he had practiced countless times, and easily learned the Demon Ancestor's fist techniques.

Is it really that simple?

He didn't believe it.

He had received the inheritance of many powerful figures, including Stone God, a being who had broken through the barrier to the first level.

There are also the Four Heavenly Spirits, whose lineages at least include those of the Fifth Heaven, who are at least broken through the barriers.

There are even legacies of beings like the King of Giants, who have reached the ninth level of the Breaker realm.

After receiving the inheritance time and time again and summarizing the experience time and time again, he did not think that the inheritance of the Demon Ancestor would be so simple.

really.

He threw a punch, just defeating the demon in front of him, when another phantom of a demon ancestor appeared in front of him.

The newly emerged phantom of the Demon Ancestor is even stronger in combat, and he also fights him using fist techniques.

What an amazing lineage of the demon ancestor!
He had just communicated with Yao Ruxian from the outside world.

Yao Ruxian did not encounter a demon ancestor who knew fist techniques, but rather a demon race who knew sword techniques.

The reason, I suppose, is that Yao Ruxian is best at swordsmanship, while the demon ancestor he encountered fought him with fist techniques, which means that the other party knew that he was good at fist techniques.

The fact that the Demon Ancestor's inheritance could be passed on in the way that the recipient was most skilled at shows that this Demon Ancestor was truly remarkable.

He had never seen such a mastery of various methods of inheritance.

With this in mind, he focused even more intently on fighting the illusory image of the demon ancestor in front of him.

He didn't know if he could truly accept the Demon Ancestor's legacy, but fighting the Demon Ancestor's fist techniques at this moment had brought him immense gains.

This aligns perfectly with his philosophy of spiritual practice.

That means only by fighting against masters can one improve their own strength. At this moment...

He encountered a master, no, not a master, but a strongman, a true strongman.

At this moment, in the battle against the Demon Ancestor, he could clearly perceive the gap between himself and the Demon Ancestor, and that gap was not insurmountable.

He tried to catch up, and he had the motivation to do so.

But every time he tried to catch up, he found that he was always just a little short.

This filled him with energy, allowing him to continue his battle against the Demon Ancestor.

This duel was clearly not a true fight of fists and feet, but rather a contest of fighting spirit.

Because Zheng Tuo is currently in the divine soul world established by the Demon Ancestor.

The essence of Daoquan (Taoist Fist) is an attribute with infinite potential for improvement, because its core comes from the supreme Dao patterns.

With the Dao Fist centered on supreme Dao patterns and a free-flowing fighting style, the Dao Fist's intent has endless potential for improvement.

The two sides continued their duel and clashes. Zheng Tuo defeated one demon ancestor phantom after another, but soon he encountered a real opponent.

He could no longer fathom the Demon Ancestor's fist techniques, and the duel between the two sides plunged him into a bitter struggle.

In this fierce duel, Zheng Tuo was ultimately defeated.

hum!
With his failure, he returned to the outside world.

"Has it really failed like this?"

Zheng Tuo was very dissatisfied.

He was using the Dao body, not his physical body.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look into the distance.

At this moment, the Fox Ancestor is helping Yao Ruxian receive his inheritance and has no time to pay attention to himself.

Upon seeing this, he sat down on the stone throne without saying a word.

He couldn't possibly miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to practice his martial arts.

hum!
He re-entered the world of the Demon Ancestor's soul.

This time, he descended in his true form and with his divine soul, going all out to fight the Demon Ancestor.

soon.

He then encountered the phantom of the demon ancestor who had defeated his Dao body.

In that situation, he defeated his opponent with just a few punches and then continued on his way.

As he defeated one demon ancestor phantom after another, the demon ancestor phantoms' combat power continued to grow stronger.

Zheng Tuo was full of energy and in a great mood.

Here, you can not only hone your boxing skills, but also learn superb boxing techniques from your opponents, and more importantly...

The flow of time here is completely different from that of the outside world.

This place is like being inside a demon-refining pot; one day here is equivalent to ten or even a hundred days outside.

I believe no one would refuse to practice in such a place.

He went all out, wielding his Dao Fist and pushing it to its limit.

Not only that.

He incorporated all the Dao patterns he had previously cultivated into his Dao Fist, thereby making his Dao Fist even more powerful.

Coming.

Zheng Tuo made a strong move, and soon he met his opponent.

The demon ancestor's phantom power is constantly increasing. Even though Zheng Tuo's fist intent is also getting stronger, it still cannot match the demon ancestor's phantom power.

He quickly found himself at a disadvantage.

The demon ancestor's phantom fist was so perfect that Zheng Tuo could hardly defend himself and was in danger of being defeated at any moment.

But he has never been a simple person. Even though he is being suppressed at this moment, his fist intent is still powerful.

In this almost frenzied duel, Zheng Tuo quickly realized that his fist intent had reached its limit.

Is this the limit?
Zheng Tuo never expected that his fist intent would reach its limit so easily.

Based on his understanding of Daoquan, his fist intent should have the attribute of infinite improvement, so why did it suddenly reach its limit and could no longer be improved?

He was completely baffled by this, but soon he encountered a big problem.

Originally, his battle with the demon ancestor's phantom was just a friendly spar, but for some reason, the demon ancestor's phantom revealed killing intent towards him.

correct.

The illusory image of the Demon Ancestor actually wanted to kill him here at this moment.

"It happened!"

Because of his excessive desire to cultivate, he ended up in this place.

The demon ancestor's phantom will continuously grow stronger, and eventually slay its own soul here.

Could all of this be a conspiracy by the Fox Ancestor?
Thinking of this, his fist technique became chaotic, and he was severely injured on the spot, almost dying as a result.

calm down!

calm down!

What he needs right now is to calm down.

boom!
He continued to punch and fight the phantom of the demon ancestor, while his mind raced, trying to figure out how to leave this place.

Based on his previous experience with his Dao body, he knew that as long as he was defeated, he could leave this place.

But the problem is.

When the Daoist body fought the illusory image of the Demon Ancestor, the illusory image of the Demon Ancestor had no intention of killing.

The demon ancestor phantom he was fighting was now filled with killing intent.

In other words, you will not be defeated by the opponent, but you will be killed by the opponent.

Thinking about this, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

brush!
He stopped fighting the phantom of the demon ancestor in front of him and instead looked around for a possible way to leave.

however.

The moment he had this thought, the entire world around him began to change.

In just a few breaths, this world transformed into an arena.

Combat is mandatory!

Seeing this scene, Zheng Tuo's expression turned serious, and he looked at the illusory figure of the Demon Ancestor walking towards him with great vigilance.

It seems he has no choice but to either defeat the phantom of the demon ancestor before him or be killed by it.

Since there was no other choice, Zheng Tuo stopped dwelling on the matter.

He clenched his fists, his eyes filled with determination.

Very well, let me see today just how powerful your demon ancestor phantom really is.

Zheng Tuo took the initiative this time, wielding his Dao Fist and attacking the illusory figure of the Demon Ancestor.

The battle between the two sides began instantly, and unsurprisingly, Zheng Tuo was suppressed after a few rounds.

The demon ancestor's phantom was ultimately powerful, but Zheng Tuo was no pushover either.

In this all-out battle, fighting without a shred of mercy, he was astonished to discover that his fist intent, which had already reached its limit, was breaking through its constraints and beginning to improve.

It turned out to be the case.

As intelligent as he was, he immediately understood the key point.

It turns out that one's martial arts intent can only be enhanced in life-or-death battles.

At first, he merely sparred with the illusory figure of the Demon Ancestor, and even felt grateful, which prevented his fist intent from being fully realized.

The essence of boxing techniques is to kill, and the same is true of the intent behind boxing.

Therefore, the only way to enhance the intent of a fist technique is through killing.

Thinking of this, he looked again at the phantom of the Demon Ancestor who was now fighting him with murderous intent.

He was truly a remarkable person, leaving behind such an extraordinary legacy that he could even teach me how to cultivate.

Thinking of this, he put away all his jokes and thoughts, his eyes filled with overwhelming killing intent.

"Senior Demon Ancestor, I apologize."

As soon as Zheng Tuo finished speaking, he went completely berserk, entering a state of extreme fist intent to fight the phantom of the Demon Ancestor.

outside world.

The Fox Ancestor opened its eyes, looked at Zheng Tuo, and revealed a strange smile.
