Against the Gods

"No, let me try it."

Feng Baichuan's words did not make Yun Che flinch. He said seriously: "I know my strength, but I do have the qualifications to try this trial."

Yun Che raised his palm, his five fingers stretched out, his profound energy surged, and a large mass of orange-red flames ignited in his entire palm. Feng Baichuan was taken aback by the flames, and he said in surprise, "You actually have fire-type profound arts?"

"That's right, it's still a very high-level fire-type profound art." Yun Che nodded. However, the biggest trump card for him to try the Phoenix Trial is his invincible physique, of course he cannot say this, and even if he says it, Feng Baichuan will definitely not believe it: "Since it is the Phoenix Trial. I am familiar with fire-related profound arts, and I have a certain ability to resist the profound energy of fire, so I might be able to pass the test easily.”

Feng Baichuan still shook his head and said, "The Phoenix Trial is indeed based on the power of fire, but you are thinking too simply. The power of flame ignited by ordinary people's profound strength can't compare to the flame of the divine beast Phoenix. Ten years ago, I also tried the Phoenix Trial, but at the beginning of the trial, I only walked a few steps in the trial ground, and I was burned by the fire of the lava. So I chose to give up. Although you have fire-type profound arts, you will have a certain understanding, control and resistance to fire profound energy, but the fire of the phoenix is ​​far more terrifying than you think. The ancestors of the Phoenix Trial also possessed fire-type profound arts and barely passed the Spirit Profound Realm. None of them are lower than the Spirit Profound Realm, with your current profound strength, there is absolutely no possibility.”

Yun Che said calmly: "Since Clan Chief Feng has tried the Phoenix Trial, he also knows that if he feels unbearable during the trial, he can choose to give up. Then, as long as it is not useless persistence, choose to quit when he feels unbearable. , there is no danger to life at all. Those of your clansmen who died in the trial should never come out because they wanted to forcibly pass. But I don't. I cherish my life very much. If I feel it is impossible I will choose to quit immediately, so that there is no danger at all, since there is no danger, no matter whether it is successful or not, there is no harm in trying it, right?"

Yun Che glanced outside and continued: "If I succeed, at least I can strengthen my profound strength to some extent, and I can always have a little more hope in dealing with the evil thieves outside."

Feng Baichuan's brows tightened, and he sighed in a low voice, "You are a young man after all, and it is impossible not to be curious when you hear that it was a trial left by the divine beast Phoenix. When you were talking to me just now, your eyes were at least in I glanced at the sealing formation three times. Since you want to try that trial so much... well, I'll open the door to this trial for you. But before that, you'd better heal your wounds. , During the trial, if you feel that you can’t support yourself, you must choose to quit immediately... Otherwise, the illusion is empty, but the flame is the real flame of the phoenix, if you resist, you will really die.”

"Okay!" Yun Che nodded happily.

With Yun Che's medical skills and the supply of medicinal materials from the entire treasure house, the injuries on his body were nothing at all. On the second day, the wound on his shoulder had completely healed, and there was no pain in the large-scale movements, only a scar the size of the mouth of a bowl was left. As long as he is willing, this scar can also be completely eliminated within half a month.

A day has passed, and the people of the Black Demon Mercenary Group have been guarding the outside, constantly shouting. The people of the Phoenix Remaining Clan finally calmed down, but they could only calm down temporarily. They took the food and water distributed by Feng Baichuan, and they did not dare to think about tomorrow in their apprehension.

At this time, Feng Baichuan had brought Yun Che and Lan Xueruo to stand in front of the sealing formation in the trial ground.

"Junior Brother Yun, do you really have to try? Even though it's a trial, there may be a huge danger hidden in it. You only have the strength of the first level of the Nascent Profound Realm, in case... in case..." Lan Xueruo dragged Yun Che's arm,

Constantly persuading.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister also knows that I have fire-type profound arts, so it's not that easy to get into trouble in the fire trial." Yun Che comforted.

"But..." Lan Xueruo still wanted to say something, but looking at Yun Che's calm eyes, she knew that no matter how much she persuaded him, he would not change his decision, so he could only sigh faintly, and said, "Then you can't do anything anyway. be careful."

"Are you ready?" Feng Baichuan asked while standing in front of the seal formation.

"Have Patriarch Laofeng help me open the seal." Yun Che nodded.

Feng Baichuan nodded slowly, and reminded again: "If you feel unbearable, you must come out immediately. Don't be brave."

After finishing speaking, he bit his finger and sprinkled a drop of blood on the seal formation. Immediately, the red light of the sealing formation flashed, and then disappeared in the rapid rotation. In front, there was a dark red strange entrance. The entrance was pitch black, and nothing could be seen, like a terrifying bottomless. abyss.

"Since the ancestors discovered this trial ground, no foreigner has ever entered. You are the real first. This trial ground can only be opened once a month, and no matter whether it succeeds or fails, a person can't in his life. Enter for the second time. Think carefully about whether to enter or not."

Yun Che nodded, gave Lan Xueruo a reassuring look, and then stepped into the entrance of the trial ground without hesitation.

The moment he stepped into the entrance, the scene in front of him suddenly reversed, and then he felt a whirlwind, his body fluttered as if being swept up by a storm, and he subconsciously closed his eyes. After a while, the feeling of weightlessness slowly disappeared. He opened his eyes and saw nothing but darkness.

Here... where is it?

Why is it only pitch black? Nothing... The Phoenix's trial, shouldn't there be something like a sea of ​​fire and magma?

Just when he had doubts in his heart, two long and narrow golden rays of light suddenly appeared in front of the pitch-darkness. Then, these two long and narrow golden beams slowly opened like two slightly narrowed eyes... No! That is a pair of eyes! A pair of incomparably huge golden pupils inlaid in the pitch-black space.

Eye of the Phoenix! !

"Hello, human. Welcome to the land of trials. You are the first trial person without the bloodline of the phoenix in the past thousand years."

A majestic voice resounded in his heart, and above the tone, it was clearly a woman's voice. Yun Che looked at the pair of golden pupils and said tentatively, "You are... the spirit of the phoenix?"

"That's right. I am an immortal soul left by the Phoenix, but I exist independently of the Phoenix. I maintain this trial ground and welcome all the testers. The Phoenix Spirit is the most suitable for me. name."

"Why did Phoenix leave a trial ground here?" Yun Che casually asked the question in his heart.

Yun Che asked casually, completely not expecting the Phoenix Spirit to answer. What surprised him was that the Phoenix Spirit gave him the answer generously: "Back then, the three flame-type divine beasts, Phoenix, Golden Crow, and Suzaku, fought hard for thirty-six days for the throne of the ancestor of the gods, and in the end they all lost. , Phoenix landed in the Profound Sky Continent after being seriously injured. After staying in the Profound Sky Continent for thirteen years, the injury recovered. During these thirteen years, Phoenix deeply felt that although the human beings in the Profound Sky Continent were low in strength, they had a pure heart, so he left two In a place of trials, come and leave a little chance for the human beings on this continent."

"I see."

"But the phoenix also left behind: if the humans of the Profound Sky Continent use the power of the phoenix to harm the world, they will be deprived of all their power and punished by their bloodline! Unfortunately, a thousand years ago, there was a line of people who committed a heinous crime with the power of the phoenix. , was permanently deprived of the power of the phoenix, and cursed with blood. Since then, no one has passed this test. As the first person without the blood of the phoenix in the past thousand years, I hope you can break the silence of the thousand years here. ...then, are you ready?"

"Okay, you can start at any time." Yun Che took a long breath and his face became calm. As far as his profound strength is concerned, entering such a trial can be said to be beyond his capacity, but, having devoured the Seed of Fire of the Heretic God, he has become invulnerable to all fires. Relying on this heaven-defying cheating tool, he can face it. This came from the trial of the divine beast of flame, and he was not completely unsure.

"Very well, there are three stages in the trial, namely: the first stage: the purgatory flame demon; the second stage: the arrow of the phoenix; the third stage: the fallen heart flame. If you want to give up during the trial, you can always Shout out, I will immediately let you leave the trial ground, forcibly test, there will be the possibility of death... I wish you success."

The voice of the Phoenix Spirit fell, and the pair of golden giant pupils in the pitch-black world slowly disappeared.

And Yun Che's eyes turned the world again, and in a moment, the darkness completely disappeared, and the world around him had turned into a bright red color.

The sight in front of him left him stunned for a long time.

The ground beneath his feet was a deep red. It was as shocking as the burning red steel laid there. The ground is uneven, the rocks are jagged, the high and low mountains rise and fall one after another, and even the mountains are red in color, as if there is a possibility of a sky-high flame at any time. When he looked up, the sky was red.

On the fiery red ground, there were clusters of flames scattered around. Some of the flames were only a few inches high, and some even rose to a height of more than ten meters. On the left and right sides, a pool of red magma was churning like boiling water. ...depicting a terrifying lava purgatory.

There is no doubt that the wind is scorching hot, and the air temperature is frighteningly high. It is no wonder that Feng Baichuan declared defeat after only supporting for a few breaths in the first stage. Just the temperature here, even a profound practitioner in the True Profound Realm could only barely resist if he exhausted all his profound strength, let alone only a profound practitioner in the Elementary Profound Realm.

But the temperature here has only two words for Yun Che:

Comfortable!

Cozy like lazily soaking in warm water.
