Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 559 Challenging the Phoenix God
To his disappointment, defeating the Phoenix so easily did not reward him with a divine-level spirit ring; instead, he received three divine-level spirit rings.

He was recognized for exceeding expectations, but he hadn't yet reached the point where a god-level being could be granted a soul ring.

"Could it be that one needs to undergo a god-level assessment to obtain this god-level divinely bestowed soul ring?"

Shi Yu pondered in his heart, comparing the differences between the two assessments.

Under his insistence, the intensity of the fourth test was raised to a god-like level, while the fifth test, although also quite difficult, was still inferior to the fourth test.

The main reason is that the strength of the phoenix offering did not reach the god level. If it were at the god level, he might actually be able to obtain another god-level divine soul ring.

Phoenix looked at Shi Yu with mixed feelings. He really did it, defeating him in an instant.

Moreover, the defeat was carried out with remarkable ease, as if it were an extremely simple matter for the opponent.

"For you right now, passing the subsequent assessments will be very easy."

"The only challenge might be whether we can exceed expectations in completing the mission," Phoenix said.

Shi Yu: "Senior, please forgive my rudeness earlier."

"My sixth test is to withstand the pressure of the Phoenix God for more than one hundred minutes."

"Approximately what level of Phoenix God's pressure will this test involve?"

"And is it possible to elevate it to the level of a third-tier god, or even a second-tier god?"

This sixth test gave him hope of obtaining a god-level divine soul ring again.

"The basic strength is almost at the god level. If you want a stronger pressure, you can also increase it. At most, it can really be raised to the level of a second-level god."

Phoenix, knowing Shi Yu's thoughts, was happy to witness whether he could truly endure such terrifying pressure.

"I need to remind you that enduring the pressure of the Phoenix God is much more difficult than enduring the burning flames. The difficulty will increase by at least 20% or 30%. You should be mentally prepared."

The phoenix offered a reminder, noting that he could see that Shi Yu's physique was somewhat special, seemingly immune to flames.

Therefore, the burning of the flames was less difficult for him, but he probably couldn't be immune to this pressure, which was actually more difficult. With this shift in power, the chances of him being able to withstand it were even smaller.

"I will do what I can. If I really can't hold on, I'll just reduce the pressure."

Shi Yu chuckled and said that he didn't necessarily want to withstand such strong pressure.

"Now that you're ready, let's begin."

The Phoenix Offering activated the statue of the Phoenix God, making it seem as if it had come back to life. Shi Yu now felt as if he were facing the Phoenix God directly.

Shi Yu and the Phoenix God stared at each other, and Shi Yu immediately felt immense pressure.

He was surrounded by a raging inferno in the other person's eyes, enduring the terrifying flames.

At this point, his fire immunity seemed to have lost its effect, and he could no longer resist the intense flames.

Flame phoenixes appeared around him, showing hostility and threatening to attack him en masse, leaving not even bones behind.

"What a powerful Phoenix God! This Phoenix God is said to be a second-level god, but in reality, he is probably at the level of a first-level god."

Shi Yu felt a chill run down his spine, and before long he was already sweating profusely.

He concentrated intently, suppressing his fear and awe, and faced the Phoenix God with a calm gaze.

The opponent is powerful, but Shi Yu is definitely not weak either. Besides, the opponent is dead, so why should he be afraid of him?
While engaging in psychological suggestion, the forces of time and space within the body rapidly circulate, converging together to confront this oppressive force.

With the aid of the powers of time and space, the pressure from the Phoenix God's might became more bearable. The Phoenix Worshipper watching from the sidelines was dumbfounded. Had Yu already grown to the point where he no longer feared even the Phoenix God?

Time passed slowly, and Shi Yu's sweat kept coming out and drying, making him somewhat dehydrated.

I persisted for more than ninety minutes, and then I felt completely dazed.

During this process, he not only endured immense physical pressure, but also tremendous mental pressure.

I'm physically and mentally exhausted now, and I really can't keep going any further.

However, considering that there were only a few minutes left, I knew I had to grit my teeth and persevere to pass the assessment on the first try, so that I could get a more generous reward.

He persevered, and the slow passage of time in the final moments made him anxious.

In the end, Shi Yu persevered and withstood the Phoenix God's oppressive test in one go.

The assessment ended, and the rewards were distributed. This time, the reward was as he wished: a divine-level, god-given soul ring.

"The Phoenix God left behind only three god-level divine-given soul rings, and you have obtained two of them. I'm afraid you will also obtain the remaining one."

"Why don't you stop here? Getting two god-level divine-given soul rings is already quite good. Why not leave the third one for someone else?"

Phoenix Offering tried to discuss the matter with Shi Yu from the perspective of offering.

"That won't do. I'll definitely try to get it if I can. How could I complain about having too much of something this good?"

Shi Yu smiled and said, "This concerns a divinely bestowed soul ring at the god-level, so this is not the time to be modest."

Phoenix Offering gave an awkward smile and changed the subject.

Shi Yu didn't rush into the next assessment; instead, he rested on the spot.

Bearing the pressure of the Phoenix God is quite exhausting for me. I'm very tired now and just want to get a good night's sleep.

Within his own time domain, Shi Yu slept for over twenty hours, while less than an hour actually passed in the outside world.

While he slept, the Phoenix kept observing him and knew that he seemed to possess powerful time manipulation abilities, capable of creating a time domain.

"This person is a monster; his future achievements may even surpass those of the Phoenix God."

Phoenix, in its heart, gave Shi Yu a very high evaluation.

Upon waking up, Shi Yu felt completely refreshed. After eating some food he had brought with him to fill his stomach, Shi Yu began his seventh trial.

This test requires facing the phantom of the Phoenix God, which means challenging the Phoenix God.

The challenge was not against the real Phoenix God, but only a battle phantom left behind by the Phoenix God. However, it was still a god with god-level strength.

"What level of power does the phantom of the Phoenix God I'm about to challenge possess?"

Shi Yu understood that as long as it wasn't the real Phoenix God, he felt he would be fine.

"It's about the peak of a third-level god, I suppose," the Phoenix said.

"Let's go for the strongest one then. Anyway, we still have two more chances if we fail."

Shi Yu said that he had three chances for this seventh test, and if he failed this time, he could try another one.
