The Sky Poison Pearl
Three Phase Trial

“Young brother Yun, you really want to try it no matter what? Despite this ordeal, great danger could still be hidden within it. You only have the strength of the first rank of the Nascent Realm, if...” Lan Xueruo pulled Yun Che's arm and continued to persuade him.

Yun che shook his head, he knew trying to persuade her and said. "Sir brother doesn't have to worry."

Lan Xueruo could only sigh softly: "Then you should be careful no matter what."

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

"I have to disturb Clan Leader Feng to unseal it 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.”

As 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 terrifying bottomless abyss, it was pitch-black within the entrance and there were no visible signs of existence.

“Since the ancestors found this trial place, no one other than the clan has ever entered before; you are the first and serious. This trial ground could only be opened once a month, and no matter succeeding or failing, 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 a comforting gaze at Lan Xueruo, and then stepped into the entrance of the trial grounds without hesitation.

As he stepped inside the entrance, the scene in front of him suddenly distorted. Right after, he felt the sky and ground spinning, as if his body was being blown away by a storm. He subconsciously closed his eyes. Only after a long time did the weightless feeling finally slowly disappear. When he opened his eyes, he only saw a pitch-black darkness.

Where'sisthis?

Why is there only darkness? There was nothing here at all. The phoenix test, wasn't a sea of fire or lava supposed to appear?

Just as the question came to his mind, two lines of golden light suddenly appeared in the pitch-black darkness before him. Immediately after, two thin lines of golden light 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 experiment. You are the first challenger without a phoenix bloodline in this past thousand years.

A dignified voice echoed within his mind; from his voice, it was clearly a female voice. Yun Che looked at this pair of golden eyes, and asked: “You are.. phoenix bird spirit?”

"Why did the phoenix leave the experimental grounds here?" Yun Che casually uttered a question in his heart.

Yun Che asked just like that, and never expected the Phoenix Spirit to answer him. What was beyond his expectations, was that the Phoenix Spirit was actually very generous, answering him: “A long time ago, three main attribute fire beasts: Phoenix, Golden Crow, golden crow, and Vermilion fought for the position of the fire ancestor in the Divine Realm. The fierce battle lasted for thirty-six days, and ended with the defeat and injury of all three. The Phoenix fell to this Sky Continent after being severely injured, and recovered completely after thirteen years in the Sky Continent. In these thirteen years, the phoenix deeply felt that although the humans of the Sky Continent were weak in strength, their hearts and nature were pure;

"So that's how it is."

“However, the phoenix has left this message: If the humans of the Sky Continent use this power of the Phoenix to harm the world, all their power will be taken 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 without a phoenix bloodline in this thousand years, I hope that you can break the silence of this thousand years?

"Yes, I can start anytime." Yun Che took a deep breath, his entire face showing a calm expression. In terms of his strength alone, entering this kind of test could be considered presumptuous. However, he obtained a body that was immune to any kind of fire after swallowing the Fire Seed of a Perverted God. Relying on this kind of heaven-defying opponent, it was not as if he had no confidence at all in facing this fire god beast ordeal.

“Good, the trial has a total of three stages, each: The first stage: Purgatory of the fire demon; the second stage: the Phoenix arrow; the third stage: Heart Fire Corruption. If you want to stop during the test run, you can shout at any time and I will immediately let you leave the test stand. You might die if we forcibly endure the ordeal…. I hope you succeed."

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

Yet the world before Yun Che's eyes spun once more. A moment later, the darkness had disappeared, and the world around him had 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 hot steel. The ground was uneven; irregular boulders were scattered all around and mountains of varying heights layered one after another. Even the surface of the mountain was red, as if it could spew out flames that could reach the sky at any moment. Looking up, the sky was also deep red in color.

The stalks of embers scattered in every direction on the fire-red colored ground. Some embers were only a few inches tall, while some even soared to over ten meters tall. On both sides, puddles upon pools of red lava bubbled like boiling water.

Undoubtedly, the wind here was extremely hot when the air temperature reached a terrifying height. No wonder Feng Baichuan was declared defeated after only enduring for a few moments. With just the temperature here alone, let alone a Basic Realm practitioner, even if a True Realm practitioner exhausted all of her strength, she would only be able to endure.

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

Comfortable!

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