Who exactly is this kid, and why is his physical strength so formidable?
The troll patriarch was truly panicked this time.

He was just passing through when he saw a large number of cultivators gathered there. He then decided to coerce them into becoming his slaves so that they could find the life souls of his troll clan.

Who would have thought that such a formidable opponent was hiding here?
This person has a strange aura; he is probably not from their Vermilion Bird Star.

"Fellow Daoist, I do not know what your purpose is in concealing your cultivation and sneaking into this place, but this matter is a misunderstanding. How about we both stop here and go our separate ways?"

While pressing down hard on the Heaven-Opening Axe, the Troll Ancestor tried to appear calm and said.

He is now filled with regret.

If he had known that there were extraterrestrial cultivators hiding in this place, he wouldn't have come here to look for slaves.

It's good to seek benefits for one's own people.

But if you risk your life because of this, then it's not worth it.

"You provoked me first."

Zhu Chen stared expressionlessly at the Giant Demon Ancestor, his voice filled with intense killing intent.

He originally only wanted to help Wang Lin obtain the life soul as soon as possible, and did not want to cause any more trouble in this realm.

But this troll patriarch attacked him without asking any questions, acting as if he were the master of this world.

This made him very unhappy.

how?

You were the one who made the move just now, and you're the one who wants to stop now.

How could such a good thing happen in this world?

"Fellow Daoist, I have important matters to attend to and cannot stay here any longer. So... I am willing to compensate for the misunderstanding just now with a thousand top-grade spirit stones. What do you think?"

Seeing that Zhu Chen was unwilling to give up, the troll patriarch immediately reluctantly offered a thousand top-grade spirit stones as an apology, hoping that Zhu Chen would stop.

However, Zhu Chen couldn't help but laugh after hearing his words: "Misunderstanding? If my cultivation was inferior to yours, would you still say it was a misunderstanding?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Chen suddenly exerted force in his palm, forcibly snatching the Heaven-Opening Axe from the Giant Demon Ancestor's hand.

Although Zhu Chen had not activated his Dharma Body at this moment, the aura emanating from him was countless times stronger than that of the Giant Demon Ancestor who had activated his thousand-foot Dharma Body.

When the troll patriarch saw that his clan's most treasured artifact had been stolen, he was about to use magic to retrieve it, but Zhu Chen raised his hand and punched him, sending him flying through the air.

"—Boom!"

The troll patriarch's body was slammed into the depths of the earth tens of thousands of meters away, like a cannonball.

"Even if I kill you, everything on you will still be mine."

Before the troll ancestor could rise from the ground again, Zhu Chen formed hand seals and unleashed a complete True Phoenix Treasure Technique at the spot where the troll had fallen!

"—Chirp!"

The moment that unstoppable True Phoenix charged into the ground.

The entire plain, and the terrain within a radius of a hundred miles, shook violently.

A towering pillar of fire shot straight into the sky!

The scorching heat almost distorted the restricted space inside the Vermilion Bird Tomb.

Zhu Chen moved swiftly and plunged straight into the ground.

When he burst out of the ground again, he had something else in his hand.

That was the head of the troll patriarch.

Seeing this scene, the cultivators who had almost been coerced by the troll patriarch were all stunned.

"The troll patriarch is dead..."

"My God, that's a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!"

"The troll race has a strong physical body and also possesses innate supernatural abilities. It is said that a troll in the early Nascent Soul stage can fight against a human cultivator in the mid-Nascent Soul stage. This person was able to easily kill the troll patriarch. Could it be that his cultivation has reached the pinnacle?"

"Even if he hasn't reached the pinnacle, he's definitely a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage."

"We really have to thank this senior this time, otherwise we would probably all have become slaves of that troll ancestor..."

Everyone cast grateful glances his way. However, Zhu Chen ignored them.

He threw the troll patriarch's head to the ground, then turned and disappeared from the spot.

……

at the same time.

In another withered forest outside the Suzaku Tomb.

Two figures with phoenix wings on their backs were flying swiftly through the forest.

These two were none other than Xiao Yan and Lin Dong.

They were both lucky; although they had been separated by the teleportation array, they ended up in the same area and met up shortly after entering.

Many cultivators and members of the Immortal Remnant Clan are also searching for their life souls in this withered forest.

The two sides sometimes fight each other over the Soul Beads, creating a chaotic scene.

Xiao Yan and Lin Dong originally intended to wander around the area and see if they could sneak away any cultivation resources.

After searching for a long time, the two of them couldn't find a single thing of value.

There are only countless life-soul beads and those spirits that are practically indestructible.

"It seems my brother was right, there really is nothing here, not even as good as the Heavenly Flame Ancient Tomb I raided last time..."

Lin Dong sighed in disappointment.

Although the Heavenly Flame Ancient Tomb he entered before wasn't a place of inheritance left behind by some top expert, it still brought him a lot of benefits.

I thought this time, the Vermilion Bird Tomb would be a huge financial success.

Surprisingly, I didn't find a single thing after entering.

"This is just the outer area, so of course there's nothing good here. The good stuff is definitely in the inner part of the tomb."

Xiao Yan looked around and said with a determined gaze.

Lin Dong was taken aback upon hearing this: "But didn't Big Brother tell us to just observe from the outside?"

Xiao Yan chuckled: "We're just going in to take a look. As long as we don't cause any trouble, that's fine. Anyway, the cultivators here and those immortal remnant clans are all busy searching for life souls and don't have time to pay attention to us. As long as we carefully avoid those spirits, we'll be fine."

"But……"

"No buts, do you really want to keep wasting your time in this godforsaken place?"

"Do not want to."

"If you don't want to, come with me. Let's find a teleportation array to enter the inner area first, and we can talk about other things later."

The two had already left the dark, withered forest while they were talking.

What appeared before them was a valley shrouded in mist.

In the center of this valley stands a magnificent altar.

Xiao Yan believed that the altar was the teleportation array leading to the interior of the Vermilion Bird Tomb, so he immediately flew there with Lin Dong.

However, just as the two of them approached the altar...

A violent explosion was heard from the nearby valley.

The two hid immediately upon hearing the noise.

After a while.

At the other end of the valley, two beautiful figures suddenly flew swiftly from a distance.

It was two female nuns locked in fierce combat.

One of the female cultivators in red robes held a gleaming long whip in her hand. The whip seemed like a giant dragon waving its tail in her hand. Every strike could cause the heavens and earth to tremble, with a powerful momentum like thunder and lightning!

Although the other female cultivator did not possess any magical artifacts, her cultivation level was clearly higher than that of the red-robed female cultivator wielding the long whip. Every move she made was filled with astonishing magical abilities, causing the red-robed female cultivator to retreat in defeat and flee in panic.

"Red Butterfly, you're just a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Keeping the Kunji Whip is useless to you. Hand it over to me, and I won't make things difficult for you anymore..."
