Against The Gods
Chapter 108 – ⟨ World Ode Phoenix – Fragments ⟩ Round 3

“No, allow me to try it. ”

Yun Che did not tremble in fear when faced with Feng Baichuan's words. He spoke in a serious tone: “I know very well my own strength. But I do have the qualifications to try this trial. ”

Yun Che raised his palm and spread out his fingers. A huge energy flowed, and an orange-colored fireball suddenly lit up from all over his palm. This fireball greatly shocked Feng Baichuan, and he asked in surprise: "You really have a profound attribute fire art?"

"Religion . Moreover, it was an extremely high ranked profound attribute fire art. "Yun Che nodded. However, his greatest trump card to challenge the Phoenix trial, was his extremely powerful constitution that was immune to any kind of fire. Naturally, it was impossible for him to say such a thing; even if he said so, Feng Baichuan would definitely not believe it: “Since this is the Phoenix trial, then it must be mainly a trail of fire. I have an in-depth knowledge of fire attributed to profound arts, and have a certain degree of resistance to fire profound energy. Perhaps, it might even be possible for me to easily pass the trial. ”

Feng Baichuan still shook his head, and said: "The Phoenix Court is indeed primarily based on fire energy, but you underestimate it too much. How could the fire energy of an ordinary person rival the holy fire of a phoenix god saint beast. Ten years ago, I had also tried the Phoenix trial before. However, just by taking a few steps on the trial grounds at the beginning of the trial, the agony from the lava heat was enough to make me wish I was dead. I decided to give up after a while. Even if you have profound fire arts attributes and have profound knowledge, control, and fire energy resistance to some extent, the phoenix flames were still far more terrifying than what you could imagine. The first ancestor who passed through the Phoenix trial also had a fire attribute profound art, and barely graduated with Spirit Realm cultivation. As for the ancestors that passed after that, it was because they already had a phoenix bloodline in their bodies and had a very strong resistance in them; furthermore, it was a very strong resistance in them, no one had the strength under the Spirit Profound Realm. With your current profound strength, it is basically impossible. ”

Yun Che calmly spoke: "Since the Feng Clan Leader has also tried the Phoenix trial before, then you clearly understand that if someone feels he cannot survive the trial process, then you can clearly understand that if someone feels he is unable to survive the trial process, someone can choose to lose. Then, with the exception of meaningless persistence, there was absolutely no danger to one's life if one chose to retreat when unable to endure. All the clan members who died in the trial, probably wanted to forcefully pass through and hence, stay there forever. But I will not do the same; I greatly value my own life, and will soon lose it once I feel that it is impossible. Like this, there is no danger to consider. Since there is no danger, no matter success or failure, there should be no harm in trying, huh? ”

Yun Che glanced outside and continued: "If by any chance I succeed, at least I can slightly increase my profound strength and bring a little more hope in dealing with the evil thieves outside. ”

Feng Baichuan furrowed his brows, and let out a low sigh: "You are a young boy, it is impossible not to be curious after hearing about the trial that a heavenly phoenix beast has left. When you spoke to me earlier, you have at least glanced three times at that seal formation. Since you really want to try this much trial .. Then so be it, I will open the gate of the trial for you. But before that, it is best for you to take care of your wounds first. Also, during the trial, you really had to lose immediately when you felt it was too irresistible .. Otherwise, even though the world of illusions was an illusion, the flames were actually phoenix flames; You will actually die if you try to hold it by force. ”

"okay!" Yun Che nodded happily.

With Yun Che's medical skills and the medicinal ingredients of the entire treasury together, the injuries on his body were absolutely no problem. The next day, the wound on his shoulder had already completely healed and there was no pain while performing any large movements as well; only a bowl-sized scar remained. If he wanted to, this scar could also disappear within half a month.

A day had passed and the members of the Black Assailant Demon Group who were as expected, continued to guard outside. The emotions of the phoenix clan finally calmed down; however, it was only temporary. While holding onto the food and water that Feng Baichuan distributed to them, they did not dare to think of tomorrow amidst their worries.

And now, Feng Baichuan had already brought Yun Che and Lan Xueruo before the trial seal formation as they stood there.

“Junior Brother Yun, you really want to try it no matter what? Although this was an ordeal, great danger could still be hidden inside. You only have the strength of a Nascent Profound first rank, if ... if. "Lan Xueruo pulled Yun Che's arm and continued to persuade him.

"Relax, Senior Brother also knows that I have a powerful art with a fire attribute, I won't easily be troubled in the fire trial. "Said Yun Che while being comforted.

"But .." Lan Xueruo wanted to say more, but looking at Yun Che's gaze that was as calm as water, she knew that no matter how much she persuaded, she still would not change her mind. He could only sigh, “Then you have to be careful. ”

"Are you ready?" Feng Baichuan asked as he stood in front of the seal formation.

"I must bother Clan Leader Feng to unseal for me. "Yun Che nodded.

Feng Baichuan slowly nodded, and reminded again: "If you feel you can't take it anymore, you should come out immediately. Please don't try to be brave. ”

When he finished speaking, he bit his finger, and dripped a drop of blood onto the seal formation. Instantly, a red light flashed through the seal formation, then disappeared while spinning rapidly. In front of them, a strange dark red entrance appeared. As if it was a bottomless abyss, it was pitch-black at the entrance and there were no signs of existence to be seen.

“Because the ancestors found this trial ground, no one other than the clan has ever entered before; you are seriously the first. This trial place could only be opened once a month, and no matter success or failure, one could not enter for the second time in their entire life. Think about whether you want to go in or not. ”

Yun Che nodded, threw Lan Xueruo a comfortable look, and then stepped into the entrance of the testing grounds without hesitation.

The moment he stepped in, the scene before him suddenly changed. Immediately after, he felt the sky and ground spinning, as if his body was sent flying by a storm. He subconsciously closed his eyes. Only after a long time, did that feeling of weightlessness finally disappear slowly. When he opened his eyes, he only saw a pitch-black darkness.

Where'sisthis?

Just when the question appeared in his mind, two streaks of golden light suddenly appeared in the pitch-black darkness before him. Immediately after, the two narrow lines of golden luminance slowly opened like a pair of slightly narrowed eyes! That's exactly a pair of eyes! A pair of incomparably gigantic golden eyes embedded within the pitch-black space.

Phoenix Eyes !!

“Greetings, human. Welcome to the trial field. You are the first challenger without a phoenix bloodline in these past thousands of years. ”

A dignified voice echoed in his mind; from the tone of the voice, it was clearly a female voice. Yun Che looked at this pair of golden eyes, and checked: "You .. the phoenix spirit?"

"That's right . I am an immortal soul left here by a phoenix, yet I am also an independent existence of a phoenix. I preserve this test site and accept all the challengers. Spirit of the Phoenix, is the most fitting title for me. ”

"Why did the phoenix leave the testing grounds here?" Yun Che directly spoke the question in his heart.

Yun Che had asked just like that, and had never expected the Phoenix Spirit to answer him. What came out of his expectations, was that the Phoenix Spirit was actually very generous, answering him: "First, the three main flames attribute heavenly beasts: Phoenix, Golden Crow, the Golden Crow, The Scarlet Peacock fought for the position of the Flame Ancestor in the Fierce Divine Land Battle lasting thirty-six days, and ended with the defeat and injury of all three. The Phoenix fell to this Sky Profound Continent after being severely injured, and fully recovered after thirteen years in the Sky Profound Continent. In these thirteen years, the phoenix felt that although the humans in the Sky Continent were weak in strength, their hearts and nature were pure; thus he left behind two trial grounds to leave behind some opportunities for humans on this continent. ”

"So that's how it is. ”

“However, the phoenix has left this message: If the humans of the Profound Sky Continent use the power of this Phoenix to harm the world, all their power will be taken away and their bloodline will be given punishment! What is unfortunate, is that someone from one of the lineages committed a great sin while using the power of the phoenix; the power of the phoenix has been permanently stripped and their bloodline cursed. After that, no one else passed this trial. As the first person to not have a phoenix bloodline in thousands of years, I hope you can break the silence for thousands of years? "

“Yes, I can start anytime. "Yun Che took a deep breath, his entire face holding a calm expression. In terms of his strength alone, entering this kind of trial could be considered presumptuous. However, he gained a body that was immune to any kind of fire after swallowing the Evil God Fire Seed. Relying on a heaven like this that defied a cheat, it was not as if he had no confidence at all in facing the trials of this fire heavenly beast.

“Very good, the experiment has a total of three stages, each: First stage: Devil Purgatory; second stage: Phoenix Arrow; third stage: Heart Fire Corruption. If you want to lose during the trial, you can yell at any time and I'll immediately let you leave the reason for the trial. You may die if you forcibly endure the trial …. I hope you succeed . ”

As the voice of the Phoenix Spirit faded, a pair of golden eyes slowly disappeared within the pitch-black world.

Yet the world before Yun Che's eyes spun once more. A moment later, the darkness completely disappeared, and the world around him impressively turned into a deep red field.

The scene before his eyes shocked him for a long time.

The ground under his feet looked a deep red color; it was as if it was paved by a terrifying red-hot steel. The ground was uneven; messy rocks scattered around and mountains of different heights layered one after another. Even the surface of the mountain was deep red, as if it could spew out flames that could reach the sky at any moment. Looking up, the sky was also a deep red field.

The coals were distributed in each direction on the fire-red colored ground. Some embers were only a few inches tall, while some even soared to over ten meters. On both sides, pool after pond of red lava bubbled like boiling water.

Undoubtedly, the wind here is very hot when the air temperature reaches a terrible height. It was no wonder that Feng Baichuan was declared defeated after only enduring for a few moments. Just by the temperature here alone, let alone a profound practitioner from the Profound Realm, even if a profound practitioner from the True Profound Realm ran out of all his strength, he said, he will only be able to endure with great difficulty.

But the temperature here for Yun Che could only be described with one word:

Comfortable!

Comfortable to that extent is the same as relaxing soaking in warm water.
