Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 558 God-level Divine Gift Soul Ring, Defeating the Phoenix Offering

The Phoenix offering further increased the temperature of the flames, reaching a divine level.

Only this kind of flame made Shi Yu feel the heat, but it was still not enough.

The flame temperature continued to rise, eventually settling at the peak of a third-level god, approaching the level of a second-level god.

This is already the strongest the flames here can achieve; there's no way to increase it further.

The flames of the Phoenix God are certainly stronger than this, but it's impossible to completely reproduce them.

Such a temperature of flame is not easy for Shi Yu to withstand; it is basically the limit of his current flame immunity.

His clothes were burned, and he was left naked, enduring the scorching flames until his body was bright red.

Shi Yu endured it, activating his own time domain to give himself more time.

If we could reduce a hundred hours to two or three hours, that would be ideal.

Of course, this still meant that he had truly endured a hundred hours of being burned by flames.

Shi Yu used this level of flame to temper his physique; it was a test, but it could also be a way for him to improve his strength.

He activated his soul bone, not to unleash a soul skill, but to make the soul bone visible at this moment, so that it could withstand the burning of the flames along with him.

Under the scorching flames, Shi Yu's body was constantly destroyed and then quickly restored, in a continuous cycle, and his physical strength was gradually increasing.

His soul bones are also changing, becoming more closely connected and reaching a higher level.

Phoenix watched in astonishment. It is said that a day apart feels like three autumns, and he now truly understands this feeling.

At this moment, Shi Yu gave him the feeling that a long time had passed, and the changes were too great.

It remained calm and composed even under the burning divine fire left behind by the Phoenix God.

Time passed slowly, and one hundred hours had already passed in Shi Yu's time domain.

Less than three hours had actually passed in the outside world.

"The assessment has been passed..."

Once the 100-hour time limit was reached, Shi Yu received a notification that he had passed the assessment.

"The fourth test was completed beyond expectations, and the reward is a divine-level divine-given soul ring."

Shi Yu suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze blazing with a powerful and imposing light.

The flames that had been burning him receded like the tide, leaving him still wanting more.

If possible, he also wanted to use the flames to temper his body, as there was still room for improvement in his physique through flame tempering, although not by much.

Disappointment was only momentary; with a flick of his wrist, a nine-colored divinely bestowed soul ring appeared in his hand.

This is the divinely bestowed soul ring that allows him to obtain a god-level soul ring.

"Congratulations! You have obtained a god-level divine-given soul ring as you wished. The maximum age of this soul ring is a level two god-level soul ring."

Phoenix Offering smiled and said, knowing that Shi Yu really wanted a soul ring of this level.

He previously said he could get it, but I didn't quite believe it; it's not as simple as just exceeding the assessment target.

Instead, the goal is to exceed the target even further.

For example, in this fourth test, the normal assessment standard is to endure one hundred hours under the flames of the title-sealing level. It doesn't have to be consecutive; it just needs to be accumulated.

Completing the exam in one hundred consecutive hours would be considered exceeding expectations.

Raising the power of flames to the god-level is already an overachievement, but he raised the power of flames to the peak of the third-level god, approaching the level of the second-level god, which is even more excessive.

Therefore, it is only natural that one would obtain a divine-level soul ring by passing the test.

"Senior, can I still burn that flame for a bit?" Shi Yu put away his soul ring and asked Phoenix Offering with a smile.

The Phoenix Offering was speechless, then shook his head and said, "That is the flame left behind by the Phoenix God. Every bit used is a bit less."

"You've already used up 60-70% of it, there's very little left. If you use it again, it might disappear completely."

Ordinary power can be replenished normally after it is used up, but if divine power is used up, it will be truly gone unless the deity replenishes it itself.

The Phoenix God has fallen, and there is no replacement god; that energy is non-renewable.

"Oh, I see. Then forget I said anything." Shi Yu then turned his attention to his fifth test.

The fifth test was relatively easy; it involved challenging the phoenix offering and having to endure it for ten minutes to pass.

"Senior, if I want to exceed the requirements of this assessment and obtain a god-level divinely bestowed soul ring, what level of achievement would I need to reach?"

"Will defeating you instantly grant me a divine-level, bestowed soul ring as a reward?"

Shi Yu asked, "This hurdle was difficult for me in the past, but it's easier now."

Phoenix offering: "..."

After a long silence, he finally spoke: "I can't give you a definite answer either, maybe I can."

"But are you sure you can defeat me in a second?"

Phoenix, too, was in a bad mood. He was confident and powerful, and he couldn't stand anyone saying they could defeat him instantly.

And they said it so casually, as if it were a very simple matter.

"Want to try."

Shi Yu chuckled and immediately began his fifth trial, challenging the Phoenix Offering.

"Then come and try it, I won't hold back."

The phoenix offering immediately entered battle mode, the small phoenix becoming enormous, with a large amount of flame converging towards it, its momentum constantly rising.

Chirp—

The phoenix cried out, and the phoenix offering also vaguely sensed Shi Yu's strength. Not being arrogant, it immediately unleashed its strongest technique.

Shi Yu waited for the Phoenix to prepare its attack, hoping to directly shatter its strongest attack. Only in this way could he gain greater recognition and have a better chance of obtaining a divine-level soul ring.

He didn't prepare an attack; he just watched calmly.

Phoenix felt a surge of anger. The other party was too confident, whether it was based on strength or arrogance.

His strongest attack was ready, and powerful fire phoenixes appeared in the space above, crying out in unison as they charged towards Shi Yu, carrying with them a raging inferno.

Looking up at the raging flames, he felt as if the fiery sky was tilting down and crushing him, about to burn and destroy him.

This attack intensity has already exceeded the level of mortals and touched the threshold of the god level.

Shi Yu raised his hands, and a black hole appeared above his head, unleashing a powerful devouring force that swallowed all the incoming flames before disappearing without a trace.

Phoenix Offering looked horrified; his own body was out of control and was being devoured and pulled away.

He tried his best to resist, but he still couldn't withstand the powerful devouring force, and his body was pulled into it.

The raging flames vanished, and everything returned to calm.

A moment after the phoenix offering was swallowed into the black hole, the space not far from Shi Yu cracked open, and the phoenix offering emerged from it, having returned to its previous miniature form.

A notification popped into Shi Yu's mind that he had passed the test; he had successfully defeated the Phoenix Offering and completed the fifth test.
