Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Chen Ping hurriedly retreated, and then a figure was thrown out from the depths of the spring.

Upon closer inspection, the person was none other than Qian Gu Chang Kong. However, he was panting heavily, his energy greatly depleted, and his once jet-black hair had vanished, leaving only a "hard-boiled egg."

Chen Ping walked up curiously and asked, "Chang Kong, what happened to your hair?"

Beforehand, Wu Qi prepared herbs for them to heal and recover. After feeding Qian Gu Chang Kong the herbs, the latter's condition improved at a visible speed, but unfortunately, his beautiful hair did not grow back.

Qian Gu Chang Kong touched his bald head and said with a look of annoyance, "I've been tricked. The God of Destruction has no martial ethics. I went 150 meters deeper into the spring than the test required."

Because in the final moments, he was in a daze and did not realize that his body was falling into the extremely hot spring water. He only realized it after his hair was burned away.

It was only then that his divine examination ended, and through the assessment report, he learned that he had exceeded the assessment target.

Despite this, his performance bonus was not increased.

This made Qian Gu Chang Kong feel that he had suffered a huge loss this time, and that his beautiful hair had been wasted.

In other words, Wu Qi hadn't appeared yet, otherwise people would probably laugh at him.

Qian Gu Chang Kong prayed in his heart, hoping that Wu Qi's progress in completing the assessment would be slower, at least until he could grow some hair back.

……

Below the valley floor, Wu Qi continued to descend.

He didn't know how much time had passed outside, but he was exhausted. The water pressure and repulsion around him had pushed his body to its limit.

Because he didn't know the time, he felt even more pressured.

If this is the last day of the assessment, then rising in rank would mean failing the assessment.

With the mindset of "do or die," his gaze sharpened, and the soul bone on his left leg emitted fluctuations of soul power.

Invincible Golden Body!

Faced with the violent energy of the Ice and Fire Spring, the Invincible Golden Body is no longer completely immune, but having an extra layer of defense means being able to increase the diving depth.

After some time passed, seeing that even the invincible golden body was no longer effective, Wu Qi simply activated his sixth soul skill—Void—and increased his diving depth once again.

Of course, that's not all he has up his sleeve.

The Azure Phoenix Divine Armor could protect his torso and head from injury, but his limbs were unprotected, especially his arms, which lacked even soul bones.

The pressure of the spring water below could easily destroy his limbs, but don't forget that the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg soul bone skill has a powerful healing ability. As long as the soul power in his body is not exhausted, it can continuously generate life force to heal his body.

After an unknown amount of time, when his body disappeared into an invisible barrier, the pressure around him vanished instantly, and the environment became extremely dark.

The spring water here is colorless, but the light emanating from the two-colored spring water above illuminates the area.

Looking down, Wu Qi could clearly see two enormous dragons, their forms indescribably large, slumbering there.

Contrary to his expectations, the bodies of the two dragon kings did not turn into skeletons, but retained their former majesty, similar to the Azure Phoenix divine beast he had seen before.

Just as Wu Qi was pondering how to awaken the two Dragon Kings, his consciousness was pulled into a space.

Everything here is desolate and lifeless, and the occasional breeze only adds to the desolate atmosphere.

Looking around, Wu Qi initially thought the surroundings were some kind of peculiar structure resembling bones, until he saw the long-decomposed dragon head and realized it was just a skeleton.

This wasn't some strange space, but rather the burial ground of dragons. "Could it be Dragon Valley?" he muttered to himself.

A moment later, a dragon's roar came, and hovering in the air were the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings.

"Greetings, seniors." Wu Qi bowed respectfully towards the direction above his head.

Flames danced in the Fire Dragon King's eyes as he hovered high in the sky, his massive dragon head bowing down to look at Wu Qi. His powerful dragon might was faintly visible, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.

“I sensed the aura of the Azure Phoenix divine beast on you. That fellow actually sacrificed his power to you.”

That voice contained boundless rage.

Wu Qi knew more or less about the war between the gods.

The Ice and Fire Dragon King was one of the nine sons of the Dragon God. In the ancient war of the gods, the Dragon God was defeated, and all the divine beasts were wiped out along with him.

Thus, with humans at the head, the gods gradually seized power in the divine realm.

The Azure Phoenix was by nature the kind of creature that didn't fight or compete; she was simply trapped in a vicious cycle of logic of her own making.

By helping her resolve her inner conflict, Wu Qi naturally gained her approval.

However, the two dragon kings were different. They were victims of the war in the divine realm, and their hatred for humanity was already deeply ingrained.

For a moment, Wu Qi couldn't help but mutter to himself.

The God of Destruction was a participant in the ancient war between the gods. It's unclear what his intentions were in bringing him here to gain the approval of the two dragon kings.

If you really want to ease the conflict between human deities and soul beasts, you can go to the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings instead of the Ice and Fire Dragon King.

Faced with the Fire Dragon King's aggressive aura, Wu Qi was speechless for a moment, unsure how to respond.

The Ice Dragon King's eyes flickered slightly, and its figure hovered in the air for a while before transforming into the image of a woman and landing in front of Wu Qi.

"You were not a participant in that great war, and you have nothing to do with it. I sense an aura of destruction emanating from you; have you received the legacy of the God of Destruction?"

The Fire Dragon King also transformed into human form, and said with a displeased expression, "Heh, humans are always the most greedy species."

"The God of Destruction was a participant in that great war, yet now he wants his successor to obtain our divine equipment. That's just wishful thinking."

Wu Qi shook his head and said, "I really don't know anything about the past of the two seniors. But the God of Destruction sent me here, perhaps he had his own reasons."

Just as the Fire Dragon King was about to erupt, the Ice Dragon King interrupted him with a light laugh, saying, "In that great battle, my dragon race suffered heavy casualties, and we have an irreconcilable conflict with the gods of the divine realm. Now, you've sent a successor here, is it to learn about that history?"

These words were spoken to both Wu Qi and the God of Destruction.

In response to his question, the God of Destruction told Wu Qi his answer.

"The God of Destruction said that the Dragon Clan has not perished. With the tacit approval of the five God Kings of the God Realm, some of the Dragon Clan's descendants still live on the Douluo Continent."

"Among the five great god-kings of the divine realm, the good god-king and the evil god-king have found their respective successors and will soon leave the divine realm."

"The Asura God is also searching for his successor. In the future, the Goddess of Life will temporarily assume part of the authority of the God Realm Committee. When the new God King grows up, the Goddess of Life will also pass on her divine position, and the God Realm will be reborn."

Wu Qi knew that the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life were single-mindedly focused on reincarnation in order to have their child in the new life.

Currently, the divine realm is free from internal and external troubles, making it an opportune time for a leadership transition. (End of Chapter)
