Chapter 935: I'm not participating~ |
After the nine sacred beasts sacrificed themselves, they appeared in his dantian like sculptures in the form of their own power, looking as if they were part of his dantian, with not a trace of life or soul aura detectable.
Chen Huaian simply assumed they had passed away.
Yet now, he heard the cries of the Phoenix and the Vermilion Bird once more.
Perhaps they weren't dead, but had merely fallen into slumber after exhausting their power through sacrifice?
Very likely!
Chen Huaian hid his joy deep in his heart and continued absorbing the World Ring.
Prometheus stood to the side, the shock in his eyes growing thicker and thicker.
Absorbing a Million-Year World Ring, even with him, the genuine Fire God, personally protecting the process, would be a life-or-death struggle for ordinary powerhouses, nine times out of ten fatal. Yet this young man before him, no, this Battle Soul, was doing it as easily as drinking water or eating a meal?
And not a shred of the pressure was transferred to that girl.
He even had spare capacity to continuously comprehend the Laws of Fire within the World Ring during the absorption process?
"What kind of freakish Battle Soul is this..." Prometheus grumbled inwardly, then glanced at Li Qingran, who seemed to be doing nothing on the side, and his mouth twitched. "What kind of freakish Battle Master is this..."
While he was feeling shocked, Hades beside him was gradually losing patience.
He didn't even spare a glance at Prometheus, all his attention firmly locked onto Chen Huaian, who was absorbing the World Ring.
This inheritance of the Fire God's Divine Position was never his target.
Chen Huaian was.
He, the dignified God of Death, what would he want with Fire Divinity?
Wouldn't that just pollute his own divinity?
Prometheus turned his head and saw Tang Er's absent-minded appearance, completely disregarding him and the Divine Trial. The anger he had just suppressed instantly flared up again!
Fine! Just fine!
He had held his nose and gone against his true heart, abandoning the genius who truly fit the inheritance, choosing this piece of trash as his inheritor.
And now, not only did this bastard have not a shred of reverence, he didn't even deign to care about his Divine Trial?
Since you have no idea of the immensity of heaven and earth, then I shall properly teach you a lesson!
A trace of viciousness flashed in Prometheus's eyes, and an idea instantly formed in his mind.
He cleared his throat and spoke to Hades in a deep voice, "Since you have passed the God's First Trial, now, Tang Er, I announce the content of the Fire God's Divine Trial, Second Trial—"
"You must enter my Divine Kingdom—the Blazing Joy Purgatory, and undergo Purgatory Judgment.
Within thirty days, you must slay three Purgatory Hellhounds with cultivation of one hundred thousand years or above.
Simultaneously, you must fully comprehend the Fire God's Domain amidst the baptism of Purgatory Divine Fire.
Failure to achieve either one means failure of the trial."
Upon hearing this, Hades couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Damn, this old dog Fire God is really vicious!
What kind of place is the Blazing Purgatory?
That's the most perilous forbidden land within the Fire God's Divine Kingdom.
The Purgatory Hellhounds inside each possess dual attributes of flame and darkness, ferocious beyond compare, not to mention having to comprehend the Fire God's Domain within thirty days.
The difficulty of this trial already far exceeds the standards of the second trials set by other deities.
Seeing Tang Er's expression change slightly, Prometheus couldn't help but feel a surge of pleasure, thinking he had scared Tang Er, and pondering whether to lower the difficulty a bit for him.
However, the next second, Tang Er let out a contemptuous snort, waved his hand dismissively, his tone full of disdain, "Such simple, trash-tier trials, and you have the nerve to bring them out to embarrass yourself?
I see the so-called Fire God's Divine Trial is just so-so.
Not worth a single hair compared to the God of Death's Divine Trial I participated in before.
No wonder the God of Death is a Chief God, while you, Fire God, are just a High God~
This is the difference!"
These words nearly made Prometheus's great-grandmother pop out in anger.
The difference in divine power between a High God and a Chief God isn't that great.
It mainly manifests in the depth and extent of the Divine System.
The God of Death became a god so many years earlier than him, merely gaining an advantage of time.
This brat actually dares to compare him to the God of Death?
Prometheus gritted his teeth so hard they nearly cracked, veins throbbing violently at his temples, the fury in his heart almost burning through his reason.
Fine! You think it's simple, don't you?
You're the chosen child, aren't you?
You have the Golden Dragon King backing you, don't you?
Then I'll add some extra seasoning for you!
A cold glint flashed in Prometheus's eyes as he directly changed his mind—originally planning to arrange three ordinary hundred-thousand-year Hellhounds, he now switched them to three peak-level Purgatory Hellhounds at nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand years!
After all, nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand years is still within the category of 'one hundred thousand years or above'!
You think you're capable, right?
Then go play with three Hellhounds that are half a step away from a million years!
Even if the Golden Dragon King's protection keeps you from dying, I'll still strip three layers of skin off you!
I'll properly teach you what reverence for a deity means!
And that comprehension of the Fire God's Domain, I'll increase the difficulty too.
Don't even think about leaving my Blazing Purgatory without eight or ten years.
Just as Prometheus was frantically "adding extra courses" for Tang Er in his mind.
Chen Huaian, who had been sitting cross-legged, finally showed movement.
A clear, melodious phoenix cry reverberated from within his body, and he abruptly opened his eyes!
In that instant, golden-red divine fire shot out from his pupils, soaring straight into the sky.
Five circles of pitch-black Million-Year World Rings, inlaid with purple-gold and red-gold patterns, erupted from around him with a thunderous boom.
Majestic fire-attribute power surged skyward like a tsunami, dyeing the entire sky a blazing crimson red. All fire elements in the world trembled frantically at this moment, bowing and paying homage in his direction.
Fire divinity formed the shapes of two divine birds behind him, then slowly retracted into his body as he stood up, not a single strand leaking out.
Yet the aura around him had already undergone a heaven-shaking, earth-overturning transformation. His mastery over the Laws of Fire had reached a terrifying, astonishing level.
Even Prometheus, the genuine Fire God, could clearly feel his own origin divine fire transmitting a faint sense of resistance toward the other party.
This mysterious Humanoid Battle Soul had already transformed the Fire Divinity into his own understanding?
Those two divine birds were the proof. The divine birds carried divine law rules completely different from his own, yet their level was on par with his divine law rules.
Prometheus felt utterly miserable inside.
Such a genius figure was originally the best inheritor for the Fire Divinity, yet he had personally pushed him away.
If not for the Golden Dragon King meddling, he might have even bestowed his divine artifact, Blazing Joy, upon Li Qingran to solidify her status.
"Master!" Li Qingran greeted him with curved eyebrows and smiling eyes, her gaze filled with unconcealable joy.
Chen Huaian reached out and gently ruffled her hair.
After absorbing this World Ring, he clearly felt unusual activity in his dantian.
It's just that with the Fire God present, it wasn't convenient to check the situation.
But it probably matched his guess—the pure divinity might truly be able to resurrect those sacred beasts that sacrificed themselves for him.
While the two of them were being affectionate and tender over here, over there, Prometheus finally forcibly suppressed the bitterness in his heart.
He turned to look at Tang Er, who was still acting casual and careless, his face cold, his tone carrying anger suppressed to the extreme.
"You have heard the trial content clearly. You may immediately follow me into the Blazing Purgatory to commence the God's Second Trial!"
Upon hearing this, Hades lifted his eyelids slightly, looked at the furious Prometheus, and tossed out a sentence lightly.
"Oh! But this God's Second Trial, I'm not participating!"
