Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 303 The Trial of the Three Divine Artifacts Begins

"Come with me, lord!"

Inside the Divine Fire Purgatory, the Flame Lord turned around and walked away.

Since it has come to be tested, and seems to have made sufficient mental preparations, it will fulfill its duty as the guardian of this divine heritage site.

Soon, led by it, the group headed deeper into the land of inheritance.

As they crossed a stone bridge, they discovered that beneath it lay a raging inferno, the black flames sending chills down their spines.

Xiao Xiao was so frightened that she immediately grabbed Yuwen Tuo's arm. Even Ling Luochen seemed a little scared and unconsciously held Yuwen Tuo's other hand. Only Qiu'er, who possessed the ultimate light attribute, seemed to have resistance to the flames.

"Senior Flame Lord, may I ask what this fire is? Why does just seeing it instill such fear in me, as if I were standing in a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood?" Vina felt her breathing becoming difficult and couldn't help but ask.

"What, scared? Heh, that's all the courage humans have!" the Flame Lord laughed.

“This is demonic flame!” Although Yuwen Tuo’s question sounded like a inquiry, it was actually a statement. How could he not recognize such a flame?

In my past life, I dealt with this kind of flame a lot when fighting against the demons.

"What's your background, kid? You even recognize Demon Flame?" The Flame Lord was puzzled again. Was this brat an omniscient know-it-all?

"This is indeed the Demon Flame, the most evil and terrifying flame in the world. Compared to the Demon Flame, there is a difference of 100,000 years. Because no one can control it, the Fire God sealed it in this Divine Fire Purgatory to prevent it from harming the world. Little brat, you guessed that the Fire God set the place of inheritance in the far north because of the Water God. Actually, you were only half right. The other half is this Demon Flame. The Fire God wanted to use the cold air of the far north to suppress this Demon Flame."

Yuwen Tuo nodded. In truth, he didn't take the mere demonic flames seriously, after all, he had fought against the demons in his previous life.

Those fire-attribute demons all use demonic flames, which are just their regular skills. His master fused the power of fire to the limit to create a divine fire clone, and with a single move, the Ghost Valley technique Bodhi Brahma, it could instantly purify all the demonic flames.

Unexpectedly, in this world, this kind of fire is a terrifying flame that even the God of Fire fears and can only be sealed with the help of the far north.

After finally traversing the valley filled with demonic flames, the group arrived at the deepest part of purgatory.

It was as if a sudden enlightenment had dawned on me. The dark, terrifying, oppressive, and bloody aura emanating from the demonic flames had completely vanished, leaving only a sense of holiness.

The reason for this phenomenon is the three weapons in front of us.

A gun, a sword, and a staff.

The three weapons must all be divine artifacts, otherwise the aura of the demonic flames would not be able to penetrate here.

The Flame Lord explained, "These three weapons are the divine artifacts of Lord Fire and Lord Water. The spear is called the Wildfire Spear. Lord Fire once possessed a short spear called the Heavenly Burning Pestle, but unfortunately, it was lost in a great battle. This spear was reforged in imitation of the Heavenly Burning Pestle. The sword is also Lord Fire's weapon. Lord Fire was a master of both spear and sword, and the sword is called the Sword of Fire. Before the current Evil God King became a god, he wielded this sword and roamed the continent. In fact, Lord Fire originally intended for him to be the successor, but unfortunately..."

"Now the Evil God King has returned the sword to Lord Fire God as one of the divine weapons inherited by Fire God. As for the staff, it is the divine weapon of Lord Water God, named Azure Pool Shadow." Apart from Yuwen Tuo and Yuwen Qiu, everyone else, even the Crimson King, stared in shock at the three weapons in front of them, after all, these were divine artifacts.

Vina assured that even if they turned their entire Heavenly Soul Empire's imperial palace upside down, they wouldn't find anything that surpassed these three weapons.

However, for Yuwen Tuo, who had seen the Ten Divine Weapons, these three weapons were nothing. As for Qiu'er, she already had her own Golden Dragon Spear and didn't covet anyone else's.

"Alright, everyone else who wants to take the test, come to the corresponding artifact. The artifact will judge your qualifications and potential and grant you the test," said the Flame Lord. The person it was referring to who could not take the test was the Crimson King.

How could it not see that the Crimson King, like itself, was a soul beast, and an unformed one at that?

Its current human form is merely a smokescreen; in essence, it remains a soul beast.

Transformed soul beasts can be considered human, so they can take the test without violating the rules. However, soul beasts cannot take the divine test, not even the supplementary test.

"Why? Why can't Senior Erha accept the test?" Jiang Peng asked somewhat dissatisfiedly. Although Senior Erha was very arrogant, he had been taking care of them all the way.

They all already regard him as an elder.

"No need to ask, kid. My affairs are none of your business. Just focus on your own assessment," said the Crimson King. How could it not know the reason?

Isn't it just because it's an unformed soul beast?
It didn't care, anyway, it didn't want its power to grow too quickly, lest it have to undergo another heavenly tribulation every few years. It wasn't entirely confident that it could survive the great tribulation of the next four hundred thousand years.
"But..." Jiang Peng was about to ask another question.

Yuwen Tuo then said, "Brother Jiang, don't worry. Senior Erha will find a suitable path for himself in the future. It's indeed inconvenient for him to participate in the current assessment."

"Alright!" Jiang Peng nodded. Since Yuwen Tuo and Senior Erha had both said so, he didn't ask any more questions.

"In that case, you may come up one by one. There is one thing I must remind you: the trials of the Fire God and the Water God will not have a top-level trial. Apart from the Nine Trials of the Gods, the highest level is only the Black-level trial, because the two gods do not need a high priest or a high honoree to manage this place," said the Flame Lord.

Yuwen Tuo could understand this. The top-level red-rank assessment was used to select representatives of gods like Poseidon and Qian Daoliu in the lower realm. However, neither the God of Fire nor the God of Water needed this assessment, so there was no such thing as a top-level assessment for them.

That doesn't matter, as long as it still improves everyone's strength.

"Then I'll go first, Jiang Peng, Martial Soul: Heaven-Shaking Axe, Level 69 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Emperor, please grant me the assessment, Lord Fire God!" As the oldest among the group besides Red King and Miao Xin, Jiang Peng stepped forward without hesitation.

He only needs to walk up to one of the three divine artifacts.

Jiang Peng chose the Wildfire Spear, of course. He gripped the handle with both hands, and instantly, the entire gun released a dazzling burst of fire!
