I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 264 Deterrence
The ancient ruins of Nieyan were discovered 2,800 years ago.

But at that time, Xuantian Pavilion had not developed a suitable talisman to conceal the truth, and was unable to send Jindan monks in.

It was not until 1,400 years ago that a magical talisman suitable for the passage to this ancient ruins was developed, which could send cultivators in the early and middle stages of the Golden Core into the ancient ruins of Nirvana.

Before this, none of the people who explored the Fire Phoenix Forbidden Zone returned alive, so no news about the Fire Phoenix Forbidden Zone had been heard.

It was not until the Jindan cultivator entered the ancient ruins of Nirvana 1,400 years ago that some sporadic news about the Fire Phoenix Forbidden Zone came out.

Since then, until now, only people from the five major immortal cultivation families and Xuantian Pavilion are qualified to enter this ancient ruins.

Regarding the news about the Fire Phoenix Forbidden Zone, not only is it extremely dangerous, but those who climb above a hundred feet will not only be attacked by the phantom of the Fire Phoenix in the flames halfway up the mountain, but will also be oppressed by an extremely powerful magnetic field, making it impossible to fly or climb upwards. The existence of any canyon passages and the specific terrain conditions inside are all kept strictly confidential by the five major immortal cultivation families and Xuantian Pavilion, and have never been leaked out.

Xia Daoming actually arrived outside Huofeng Mountain a day ago.

However, he tried to climb Fire Phoenix Mountain from different directions many times, only to find that six hundred feet was his limit.

Xia Daoming felt very frustrated after many attempts.

Because this height is not even halfway up the mountain, the gap to climbing over Fire Phoenix Mountain is too big.

Xia Daoming didn't know that due to their cultivation level and Qi refining, their physical bodies were relatively weaker, so for the people in Xuantian Pavilion, a distance of a hundred feet was almost their limit.

If the people in Xuantian Pavilion knew that he could reach a height of six hundred feet, they would be shocked.

Seeing that it was impossible to climb over Fire Phoenix Mountain by brute force, Xia Daoming began to circle Fire Phoenix Mountain, looking for an entrance.

He didn't believe that he couldn't cross Fire Phoenix Mountain with his own strength, and that people from the five major immortal cultivation families and Xuantian Pavilion could climb over it.

Unless they have special means or other ways to enter the Fire Phoenix Mountain restricted area.

After searching around Huofeng Mountain for a long time, Xia Daoming finally found the canyon passage that Xuantian Pavilion and others used to enter the mountain.

After a moment of surprise, Xia Daoming gradually regained his composure.

He did not rush into the canyon passage, but continued to search around the outskirts of Fire Phoenix Mountain.

Half a day later, Xia Daoming returned to the canyon passage.

All in all, he had already circled the outer perimeter of Fire Phoenix Mountain.

There is only one canyon passage to enter the restricted area.

"It seems that the people from Xuantian Pavilion and the five major immortal cultivation families should have entered the restricted area through this passage."

After staring at the canyon passage for a moment, Xia Daoming took out the formation plate prepared for him by Liu Qiaolian and set up a formation around him that could serve as a warning, a cover, and could defend against foundation-building-level attacks. Then he sat cross-legged, holding a top-grade spirit stone in one hand and a piece of roasted dragon fish monster meat in the other and stuffed it into his mouth.

He had to recover to his best condition before heading into the passage.

An hour later, Xia Daoming slowly opened his eyes and raised his hand. The formation plate and the flags on it soared into the sky and were put into his storage ring.

Xia Daoming slowly stood up and walked towards the canyon passage with a calm face.

As he took a step, a cloud of mist emerged from his body and lingered around him.

Within the clouds, a dragon fish monster that looked like a carp and a dragon fish monster that looked like a civet cat with a single horn on its head appeared and disappeared from time to time. When the two forms of the dragon fish monster merged, a dragon suddenly appeared in the distance and coiled up Xia Daoming.

Dragon fish armor!
This is a top-level defensive magic weapon made by Xia Daoming using the scales of a fourth-level intermediate dragon fish monster.

As for the Dark Water Dragon Immortal Armor that he used before, it was no longer worthy of his status and strength, so he gave it away.

Under the mist formed by the dragon fish armor and the phantom of the dragon, a blood-red light flowed and emerged under Xia Daoming's skin, faintly revealing a blood dragon armor.

A martial artist who practices physical training practices trains his physical body.

Their physical body is their powerful weapon of attack and defense.

In a dangerous place like the Fire Phoenix Forbidden Zone, the Dragon Fish Armor is just Xia Daoming's outer layer of defense. The real core defense is the armor condensed with his blood, energy and strength.

This armor is hidden beneath the skin, ready to strike.

Just as Xia Daoming was about to step into the canyon passage, the sound of birds chirping was heard, and flames poured down, forming a curtain of flames that blocked his way.

Seeing this, Xia Daoming drew out the Black Tiger Sword and chopped fiercely.

The flame curtain was split and then closed in an instant.

After several consecutive attacks failed to succeed, Xia Daoming made the Raising Tiger Seal with his hands and pressed down with a big handprint.

A crack finally appeared in the flame curtain, and there was a brief pause.

A figure flashed like a ghost, and Xia Daoming had passed through the crack and officially entered the passage.

Just as he entered the passage, the runes on the mountain god's scepter, which had turned into a broken stone tablet and was suspended above the boundless sea of ​​blood, suddenly flashed, as if it was about to fly out.

An indescribable wonderful feeling surged into Xia Daoming's heart at this moment.

It seems that everything here is both familiar and strange.

More than ten bird calls were heard from the sky.

More than a dozen Fire Cloud Eagles were like clouds of fire, approaching rapidly from afar.

The sharp claws in the flames flashed with cold light and became clearly visible in an instant.

The huge wings flapped the air, stirring up gusts of scorching hurricanes that swept over in an instant, causing sand and rocks to fly in the canyon passage and branches and leaves to fly everywhere.

Xia Daoming saw more than ten Fire Cloud Eagles flying down, covering the sky and blocking the sun. He frowned slightly and was about to use his strength to repel them, when suddenly, the runes on the Mountain God's scepter shone brightly.

The rune light shone through Xia Daoming's chest and condensed into the shadow of a giant axe above his head.

The phantom of the giant axe is not only murderous, but also carries a deterrent power of life and death.

"Hey! Hey!"

The Fire Cloud Eagle, which was rapidly swooping down towards its prey, saw the huge axe hanging above Xia Daoming's head, and was immediately frightened and flapped its wings repeatedly, stopping its downward trend, and then hurriedly flew away, turning into small red dots and disappearing in the sky above the canyon. "This..." Xia Daoming couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

This is too exaggerated. The Mountain God Scepter automatically emits light and can actually scare away the third-level monster Fire Cloud Eagle.

And in the Lava Abyss, the Mountain God's Hu has never been so powerful in the past few days.

While Xia Daoming was dumbfounded, roars of monsters came from the cliffs on both sides. Several monsters appeared from the protruding rocks and caves at some point in time.

These monsters included those at level three and those at the initial level four. Their eyes were bloodshot, and they seemed to want to pounce and kill.

But when their eyes met the shadow of the giant axe that was emitting a cold light, a hint of fear and hesitation appeared in their eyes involuntarily, and they subconsciously stepped back.

Soon, the monsters disappeared into caves or rocky vegetation.

"Could it be that the owner of this mountain god scepter was once the mountain god of this mountain? The monsters on this mountain are all descendants of the monster spirit beasts of this mountain, so they are naturally in awe of the mountain god scepter and dare not offend it?

Haha, that must be the case! If I have this treasure, can I walk around freely in the Fire Phoenix Forbidden Zone? " After another moment of daze, Xia Daoming quickly came to a conclusion, and he couldn't help but feel overjoyed and in high spirits.

And what happened later seemed to confirm his speculation.

Wherever Xia Daoming passed, all kinds of monsters retreated.

It was not until he had walked most of the canyon passage that a level 4 high-level monster suddenly attacked Xia Daoming, and his dream of walking sideways in the Fire Phoenix Forbidden Zone was shattered.

This monster looks like an ape, has a human face, and has a mane that is sharp and hard like arrows.

They are the descendants of the ancient ferocious beast Huali.

This beast is extremely ferocious. Not only does its arms have immense strength, but its mane can also transform into arrows that can shoot across a large area, leaving the enemy nowhere to escape.

The five Jindan cultivators from Xuantian Pavilion who had taken this path before had to use great efforts to repel the beast and escape.

However, for Xia Daoming, although this beast is also a high-level fourth-level monster, it lives in the canyon passage and is much easier to deal with than the high-level fourth-level monster in the lava abyss.

Those monsters can use the magma to create trouble, or they can use the magma to hide and escape.

Later, Xia Daoming encountered a red flame turtle in the lava abyss. Relying on the lava terrain, it came and went freely, killing Xia Daoming so badly that he had no temper. In desperation, he tried to use the Mountain God Scepter for the first time.

Five giant rune axes suddenly rushed out and severely injured the red flame turtle with one blow.

Even so, the Lava Abyss is the territory of the Red Flame Turtle. With its powerful combat capability as a level 4 high-level monster and its determination to leave, Xia Daoming cannot stop it.

Fortunately, Xia Daoming had the Boundless Sea of ​​Blood, and he had used ancient methods to refine the Mountain God Sceptre. Although the amount of blood and energy consumed by using the Mountain God Sceptre was astonishing, as long as he controlled the number of times and took blood-replenishing substances in time to recover, he would not damage his vitality.

Unlike the Red Flame Turtle, which relies purely on its bloodline to wield the Mountain God Scepter, every time it uses it it consumes a huge amount of blood and energy, and it takes a long time to recover.

So although Xia Daoming felt a little regretful about the passing of the Red Flame Turtle, he was more surprised by the power of the Mountain God Scepter and the fact that the amount of blood and energy consumed was better than expected.

However, excessive use of this item can easily harm the body. If it is not necessary, Xia Daoming will definitely not use the Mountain God Scepter easily.

Although this cunning monster is a high-level fourth-level monster, its attack and defense capabilities are still inferior to the Red Flame Turtle, and it does not have the advantage of the magma abyss. Xia Daoming does not need to use the Mountain God Scepter to kill it.

As soon as the man and the monster started fighting, Xia Daoming threw out a small stack of talismans.

These talismans were obtained from the foundation-building disciples of the Qi family. They are not very powerful and are only comparable to the attacks of cultivators in the late stage of foundation-building or perfect stage.

But Xia Daoming threw out a small stack at once, which suddenly triggered all kinds of brilliant lights to light up, covering the sky and the earth with a loud noise.

Huali was frightened when he saw this, and he shook his body quickly. The mane on his back turned into sharp arrows and shot out one after another. At the same time, he raised his two ape arms and sharp claws and slapped continuously.

Just when Hua La was attracted by the powerful talisman attack, Xia Daoming's body flashed with lightning and blood, and he was already close to Hua La. With one hand he drew his knife and chopped at its head, while with the other hand he used the tiger-subduing seal that had been ready to go.

Xia Daoming, who opened up the boundless sea of ​​blood, is comparable to a powerful pure-blooded young beast from ancient times. His strength is much better than Hua Li's. Now he used this tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. After all, Hua Li was not smart enough and was caught off guard.

He only had time to block Xia Daoming's black tiger knife with his sharp claws, but failed to avoid the subduing tiger seal.

"Oh!"

It was as if Hua La's belly was hit by a small mountain. His huge body flew backwards, and a bloody handprint appeared on his belly.

"Ow!"

The Hua La let out an angry roar, and sharp arrows flew out of its body, densely shooting towards Xia Daoming through the air.

Seeing this, Xia Daoming frowned slightly, stepped back, and the sword flashed, forming a ball of light, which clanged and repelled all the sharp arrows.

Through the flash of the knife, Xia Daoming saw Hua La half-crouching on the ground, staring at it fiercely with a pair of bloodshot eyes, as if ready to rush and kill.

Xia Daoming couldn't help but feel happy when he saw this.

This beast has been severely injured by him. If it still doesn't know how to advance or retreat, he can hunt it down and obtain a fourth-level high-level demon core.

But soon, Xia Daoming watched in astonishment as it suddenly kicked up its legs and soared into the sky. It used all four claws on the cliff and disappeared in a few leaps and bounds at the top of the cliff.

"It seems that the fourth-level high-level monsters are still much smarter than ordinary monsters!"

Xia Daoming shook his head with some regret.

The Fire Phoenix Forbidden Zone is full of dangers, so he has to maintain his strength as much as possible. Since this creature wants to escape, he naturally won't chase him.

However, this beast still left behind more than a hundred bristles in this battle. The bristles of this beast are one of the materials for refining needle-shaped magic weapons, so it can be considered a small gain.

An hour later, Xia Daoming walked out of the canyon passage, exhausted.

However, it took the five people from Xuantian Pavilion a whole day to get out, and they were all injured, two of them were seriously injured.

Not only did Xia Daoming not suffer any harm, but he also took the opportunity to obtain some fourth-level monster cores and refining materials.

Walking out of the passage, what comes into view is a basin surrounded by towering mountains.
