The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

A deafening roar echoed throughout the heavens and the earth.

Nine-colored light flickered where Yao Ruxian was, and upon closer inspection, everyone was astonished to see a nine-tailed celestial fox descend.

Yao Ruxian has revealed her true form: a nine-tailed fairy fox that shimmers with nine kinds of light, beautiful and exquisite, like a celestial bird.

Now that Yao Ruxian has received the inheritance of the Fox Ancestor, her bloodline has been fully activated.

"Nine-tailed Sky Fox!"

Xu Baixian muttered to herself, gazing at Yao Ruxian, her body surging with power, ready to strike at any moment.

We can't let him succeed in breaking through!

On the other side, the Minotaur's words revealed murderous intent.

They were all familiar with the records about the Demon Ancestor and the Fox Ancestor. Now, Yao Ruxian had awakened the bloodline of the Fox Ancestor. If allowed to grow, she would surely surpass the others present and become an even more powerful being.

If that time comes, their Demon Emperor Mountain and the Myriad Demons Sect will likely encounter great trouble.

The Ox-Headed God, wielding a long-handled broadsword, and the Horse-Headed God, wielding a guan dao, turned and attacked Yao Ruxian without saying a word.

"Humph!"

Upon seeing this, Old Dog and Old Sheep, two of the three elders of the Demon Emperor's Palace, immediately stepped in to block the two and prevent them from attacking Yao Ruxian.

The collision between the two sides began instantly.

The immense power ravaged the heavens and earth, causing onlookers to retreat, fearing they might be caught in the crossfire.

The four powerful individuals were evenly matched, all at the first level of the Breakthrough Realm. In this battle, none of them could defeat the other, resulting in a situation where they restrained each other.

"Xu Baixian, what are you waiting for? Make your move immediately! We absolutely cannot let Yao Ruxian succeed in her breakthrough!"

The Horse-Faced God called out to Xu Baixian.

Xu Baixian couldn't help but look at the old bear that was staring at him menacingly.

With things having come to this point, he had no choice. A snow-white longsword flashed in his hand, and he raised his hand to unleash a sword beam.

The sword flashed with a chilling light, as if the entire space had been frozen, causing great alarm among those around!
"Humph!"

Old Bear snorted coldly, about to make a move, but a figure beat him to it.

Immortal Slayer Zheng Tuo made his move, shattering the white light with his iron fist.

Xu Baixian looked at the young man who had blocked her attack and couldn't help but scrutinize him.

He knew the story of the immortal slayer and knew that the slayer was a very powerful being.

“Fellow Daoist who kills immortals, this matter is an internal affair of my demon race and seems to have nothing to do with you.”

Xu Baixian did not rush to make a move.

He knew that there was a powerful force behind this Immortal Slayer, with many strong figures in charge, and that it even had a deep relationship with Bai Ze.

As a respected senior among the demon race, Bai Ze deserved special courtesy from Xu Baixian.

"Fellow Daoist Xu Baixian, to be honest, I was invited by Fellow Daoist Yao Ruxian to help her break through her cultivation. I promised Fellow Daoist Yao Ruxian that I would do my best to protect her. Fellow Daoist Xu Baixian, you should go back to your Ten Thousand Demons Sect."

Zheng Tuo did not want to fight Xu Baixian.

This person is extremely powerful, possessing the second level of the Breakthrough Realm. If we were to actually fight, I would likely suffer a loss.

after all.

He is currently only at the half-step Breaker realm, and being able to fight against a first-level Breaker is already his limit. He is completely unable to contend with a second-level Breaker.

"Since Fellow Daoist Shixian has stated his position, I will not hold back."

As Xu Baixian spoke, she immediately attacked Zheng Tuo.

The white immortal sword in his hand was extremely sharp, constantly slashing out streaks of white light.

The white light possessed extreme cold properties, and when it was unleashed, the entire world was frozen.

Seeing this, Zheng Tuo dared not be careless.

He was surrounded by boundless power, and with a raised hand, he unleashed a Dao fist, then turned and engaged in a fierce battle with Xu Baixian.

Zheng Tuo enjoys fighting against those stronger than himself, because only in this way can he effectively hone his Dao Fist.

Just right.

He has just received the inheritance of the Demon Ancestor and the Fox Ancestor.

Instead of taking advantage of this opportunity to fight Xu Baixian, I should continue to integrate the two traditions into my own Daoist boxing.

With that in mind, he began to take action.

Sonorous!

Xu Baixian's White Immortal Sword collided with Zheng Tuo's fist.

"what?"

Xu Baixian was immediately stunned!
He could clearly sense the power of the Dao patterns belonging to the demon race from Zheng Tuo's fist.

"No wonder he possesses such fighting prowess at such a young age; his fist techniques are truly formidable!"

Someone like Xu Baixian understood why Zheng Tuo's boxing technique was so powerful after just one encounter.

As for why Zheng Tuo was able to integrate various Dao patterns and use them for his own purposes, he did not know.

Sonorous!

The fighting continued.

Even though Zheng Tuo went all out, his Dao Fist swept across the sky, and various powerful forces exploded around him, making him appear like an unparalleled demon god.

However, he was still suppressed by Xu Baixian.

Xu Baixian was, after all, a second-level Breaker. Although he had no intention of killing, he still went all out this time.

Suppressing Zheng Tuo, a half-step Breaker, was still a piece of cake.

"Damn it! Xu Baixian, you can't even handle a half-step Breakthrough Realm cultivator? Tell me, are you doing this on purpose?!"

The Ox-Headed God called out to Xu Baixian, urging him to quickly kill Zheng Tuo and come to help.

Xu Baixian was too lazy to pay attention to the rude Ox-Headed God.

He focused on fighting Zheng Tuo.

Seeing that Xu Baixian was ignoring him, the Ox-Headed God immediately shouted to the old antiques around him.

"Old men, what are you waiting for? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Seize it and prolong your lives. Don't you want to live?"

The bull-headed god's words completely touched the knot in the hearts of the old folks around him.

The reason why they are called "old antiques" is because their lifespan is about to end, and they need to come out to find something to prolong their lives.

And this moment.

When a demon undergoes tribulation, there is a surge of life force. If one can seize this force, it will surely help them prolong their lives.

really.

An old-fashioned person couldn't resist and finally made a move.

They attacked Yao Ruxian, attempting to disrupt Yao Ruxian's tribulation and seize the item that would prolong their own lives.

"Humph!"

Old Bear snorted coldly, about to make a move again.

suddenly!

A flash of sword light streaked past, instantly stopping the old antique who had made the move.

At this moment, Zheng Tuo, the god-slayer, made his move.

Five immortal swords surrounded him, and behind him appeared a Five Elements Gods Slaying Immortals Diagram.

"I told you, if any of you dare to make a move, I won't be polite. What, are you taking my words as just words?"

Zheng Tuo, the Godslayer, unleashed his powerful aura and activated the Five Elements Gods' Immortal-Slaying Diagram, transforming the area into a small world that trapped all the ancient beings present.

"Fellow Daoist Godslayer, what do you mean by this?!"

Some old-fashioned people who witnessed this scene immediately felt insulted.

"Does a junior who has only recently broken through really think he's invincible?"

An old-timer has made a strong statement, seemingly wanting to fight Zheng Tuo, the god-slayer.

“Fellow Daoist Godslayer, we advise you to leave quickly. This is none of your business. If you try to forcibly stop us, then don’t blame us for being impolite.”

As the old antique spoke, it released its own aura.

Suddenly.

Eight powerful auras were released from the front and back.

The powerful aura of the eight pillars immediately shattered the small world constructed by Zheng Tuo, the god-slayer.

Faced with eight powerful beings at the first level of the Breakthrough Realm, Godslayer Zheng Tuo had to proceed with caution.

Just now.

Swipe!

Two figures descended into the arena.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Haoran Zheng Tuo and Ye Xian.

"Sword Thirteen! Ye Xian!"

Upon seeing these two, the eight old-timers couldn't help but feel a stirring in their hearts.

Although they still hold an eight-to-three advantage, if a real fight were to break out, the combined strength of Jian Shisan and his wife would probably be enough to take on four old-timers.

The biggest weakness of old-fashioned things is their fear of death.

They didn't want to fight anyone to the death because their lifespans were already limited. If they were to fight someone and suffer serious injuries, wouldn't that lead to a major disaster?

The two sides are on the verge of a fight and could clash at any moment.

however.

Just then... *swish swish!*

Two more completely different figures descended upon the arena.

Upon closer inspection, one person was enveloped in black mist, possessing the aura of a first-level Breakthrough Realm cultivator.

"King of Vengeance!"

Someone recognized the man's origins.

"Why is this guy here? Could it be that he's also trying to target Yao Ruxian?!"

Besides the Demon King, another powerful figure is even more noteworthy.

This person was Emperor Xuanyuan.

Emperor Xuanyuan, dressed in a golden imperial robe and accompanied by auspicious beasts, exuded a powerful aura that immediately made the eight ancient figures tremble with fear.

"This Emperor Xuanyuan has only recently broken through, yet his strength seems to have already reached the level of a second-level Breakthrough Realm cultivator!"

As the first among the younger generation to break through his own limitations and step into the realm of the Breaker, Emperor Xuanyuan has been regarded by many old-timers as someone not to be trifled with.

Emperor Xuanyuan's talent and potential are no less than those of the Immortal Emperor and the Immortal Slayer Zheng Tuo.

even.

In some rankings of the strongest, Emperor Xuanyuan ranks first, above the Undying Emperor and Immortal Slayer Zheng Tuo.

now.

Emperor Xuanyuan's arrival here was clearly not to disrupt Yao Ruxian's tribulation.

He must have been invited by the demon to protect her.

Zheng Tuo was also surprised that Emperor Xuanyuan would come.

After exchanging a glance, neither of them said anything more, but they both understood what the other was thinking.

This way.

The addition of five powerful young figures—Sword Thirteen, Ye Xian, Emperor Xuanyuan, the Demon King of Vengeance, and Godslayer Zheng Tuo—made the Old Antiques Alliance dare not make the slightest move.

Eight against five, they seem to have a huge advantage, but if a fight breaks out, even if they win, they will suffer heavy losses in the end.

To suffer severe damage just to obtain some life-saving items is a completely unwise move.

Since the members of the Old Antiques Alliance did not act rashly, Zheng Tuo and the others naturally would not take action against them.

"What a bunch of useless trash!" the Minotaur cursed. "No wonder you old geezers don't have much time left. With your meager abilities, you don't even deserve to be among the Breakers."

The Old Antique Alliance remained silent in the face of the Minotaur's curses, ignoring them completely.

"Humph!"

Upon seeing this, the Minotaur snorted coldly and turned over, ceasing the fight.

He knew that continuing the fight was pointless; he and the Horse-Headed God alone could not possibly disrupt Yao Ruxian's tribulation.

Could it be.

Are we just going to stand by and watch Yao Ruxian successfully overcome her tribulation?

at this point.

They clearly had no other choice.

The tribulation of the demon-like immortal is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Terrifying heavenly tribulations came one after another, and the place where Yao Ruxian was located was completely engulfed by lightning.

No one knows what happened; the only one who knows is that Yao Ruxian is still alive.

Over time.

hum!
A mysterious force suddenly descended.

"It's done!"

Seeing this, everyone understood that Yao Ruxian's tribulation as a barrier-breaker had been completed.

But at this critical moment.

Suddenly, a huge crack appeared in the void.

Immediately afterwards, a giant hand, carrying immense power, descended from the sky and grabbed at the location of Yao Ruxian.

"not good!"

See here.

The three elders of the Demon Emperor's Palace made a powerful move in an attempt to stop the giant hand from descending.

But the moment the three made contact, they were instantly struck by the power of the giant hand, coughing up blood and suffering severe injuries.

"Fifth Heaven! Fifth Heaven of the Wall Breaker!"

Despair was evident in the old dog's eyes.

I watched this scene in disbelief.

"roll!"

The moment the giant hand appeared, Zheng Tuo, the Immortal Slayer, already knew the identity of the other party.

Dark Evil Emperor!

There's no mistake, the one who made this move is none other than the Dark Evil Emperor.

He didn't know why the Dark Evil Emperor would attack Yao Ruxian, because he no longer had a chance to react.

He forcefully unleashed a Daoist fist strike.

at the same time.

Hao Ran Zheng Tuo, Shi Shen Zheng Tuo, Ye Xian, Di Xuanyuan, and Yuan Mo Wang, six powerful figures, simultaneously attacked, attempting to stop the Dark Evil Emperor's hand from descending.

However, the six were no match for the Dark Evil Emperor, who was at the fifth level of the Breaker Realm. They were immediately forced back, and each of them suffered serious injuries, coughing up blood.

too frightening.

A fifth-level Breaker is already a being on another level.

They crushed these beings who had broken through the barrier to the next level as easily as slaughtering dogs and chickens.

"elder sister!"

On the top of the mountain.

Yao Rushen tried to help, but he was too weak.

even.

He could only manage to utter the word "sister" with all his might.

As Yao Ruxian looked at the giant hand descending from the sky, she sensed the approach of death.

I was so close to breaking through, just one step away!

The demon was unwilling to accept this.

She is an extremely strong woman; otherwise, she would not have been able to reach where she is today and achieve her current status.

But all of this was ultimately in vain before that giant hand that descended from the sky.

In the face of absolute power, everything is nothing.

Yao Ruxian has seen reality clearly, but she refuses to accept her fate.

She wanted to burn everything she had to resist the giant hand that descended from the sky.

Just now.

hum!
A crack appeared in the void around her, and then a figure strolled out.

The man was dressed in white, with an aged face, yet possessed a refined and scholarly air.

"Senior Bai Ze!"

Zheng Tuo exclaimed with delight!

"Ancestor Bai Ze!"

When the old dog, the bull-headed god, and the others saw Bai Ze, they all showed respect.

Bai Ze looked at Yao Ruxian with a calm expression, as if he saw the shadow of the Fox Ancestor.

"Well, you're pretty good."

Bai Ze nodded to Yao Ruxian, as if an elder were affirming a younger person.

Subsequently.

Bai Ze looked up at the giant hand that had descended from the sky.

hum!
An inexplicable force shook heaven and earth.

The giant hand that descended from the sky, as if touched by a hot furnace, immediately withdrew into the void, pointing towards China.

"White Pond!"

A rumbling sound came from the slowly healing crack.

finally.

The void rift healed, and the crisis was averted.

While everyone was still in shock, Yao Ruxian completed her tribulation as a barrier breaker, officially joining the ranks of the strong and becoming one of the powerful barrier breakers.

"Ancestor Bai Ze!"

The three elders of the Demon Emperor's Palace stepped forward to pay homage to Bai Ze.

Bai Ze glanced at the three elders of the Demon Emperor's Palace, then looked up at the Ox-Headed God, the Horse-Faced God, and Xu Baixian, all of whom were filled with respect.

In the end, Bai Ze didn't say a word, turned around and disappeared into the horizon. (End of Chapter)
