Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline.

Chapter 348 Simple and Brutal (Please Subscribe!!!)

Dugu Bo couldn't help but ask, "Will the Nirvana Flame here be of any use to you?"

Su Ming possesses a resurrection-type soul skill.

Discovering this small world filled with phoenix fire is such a coincidence.
"I don't know either. I really found this place by accident when I just landed."

Dugu Bo nodded slightly.

He now believes Su Ming's words.

“A phoenix bloodline that can retain the flames of rebirth must be pure. This should be the most core small world of the entire phoenix clan,” Chen Xin said.

Su Ming nodded, affirming Chen Xin's statement, and then offered his guess.

"The deities here are most likely related to the phoenix."

He wasn't sure what the situation was with this Phoenix God either.

Logically speaking, there should be no soul beast deities in the divine realm.

So what was the situation of the Phoenix God before Ma Hongjun?
Similarly, what about Soul Masters with Phoenix Martial Soul, or Humans with Phoenix Bloodline?

"It's truly unimaginable that such a rare pure-blooded phoenix exists in this small world, and it's even the rebirth fire left behind after the phoenix's death."

The three of them, filled with感慨 (feelings of wonder/reflection), ventured deeper into the small world.

Su Ming was able to sense the aura of the deity, so their direction was correct.

Soon, they arrived at the heart of this small world, an altar.

The altar is engraved with countless phoenix patterns, and the entire altar seems to be solidified from flames, with phoenixes flying inside.

Su Ming stared at the altar, understood its usage, and directly stepped onto the altar, activating the flames within it.

Cries erupted from the altar.

Countless flames flew out from it, each flame taking the shape of a phoenix. In a daze, Su Ming seemed to see a phoenix soaring in the deep space of the universe.

The phoenix's life seemed to have come to an end. It hovered in the universe, transforming into a ball of flame, as dazzling as a star.

After enduring the test of time, this flame slowly coalesced into the shape of a phoenix, reborn from the ashes.

At the same time, a grand voice resounded in Su Ming's mind.

"The seventh test for Red-level candidates begins."

Although the voice was unfamiliar, it reassured Su Ming.

Red-level seven tests.

This should be the greatest sincerity a second-level deity can offer.

If it weren't for the support of this Phoenix Small World, ordinary second-level gods might not be able to offer any additional rewards for other red-level or even black-level assessments, besides the divine examination.

Su Ming called Dugu Bo and Chen Xin to come up and undergo the assessment.

Without further ado, the two, upon learning of the benefits, stepped onto the altar.

Both of them passed the third test at the Purple level.

have to.

Su Ming roughly understood that the Phoenix God didn't have many rewards left, so he couldn't give too many to the two Title Douluos.

Of course, it's also possible that he simply didn't want to invest in Old Deng.

"I'm currently level 69, and breaking through to level 70 is just around the corner. I hope to obtain a divine soul ring from the assessment."

Besides the divinely bestowed soul ring, Su Ming was also interested in the soul power level rewarded by the divine test.

No one would complain about their cultivation speed being too fast.

On the contrary, Su Ming felt that his cultivation speed was too slow.

He is still 30 levels short, and it would take him more than seven years to reach the next level even if he only reaches level 4 a year.

This takes too long.

He also wants to create his own divine position and be as free from the control of the divine realm as possible, which will definitely take him more time to condense.

"The first test of the Red-level Seven Trials: undergo the baptism of Nirvana Fire, grasp the true meaning of Nirvana, and receive the reward: a thousand-year upgrade of all soul rings and a divinely bestowed soul ring."

When the content of the first test was released, Su Ming couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

This Phoenix God title is quite prestigious; the reward for the first test of the Red-level Seven Trials is even higher than the reward the Sea God gave to Ning Rongrong for the first test of the Seven Trials.

However, the difficulty has also increased considerably.

If traversing the light of the sea god requires time, endurance, and sufficient skill, then being baptized by the fire of nirvana and grasping the true meaning of nirvana is purely a test of comprehension and talent. This seems to have nothing to do with attitude.

Of course, the Sea God has passive benefits; during the divine test, the first breakthrough to a higher level will grant a free divine soul ring. The Phoenix God, on the other hand, has a clear price tag, directly offering it as part of the test rewards.

"My first test is to undergo the baptism of Nirvana and complete my retraining." Dugu Bo's face was grim.

When he said those words, he had basically no hope left.

Rebuild?

This is unacceptable for a titled Douluo.

This is practically telling you that you made too many mistakes in your previous training.

Moreover, how much time would be wasted if we were to rebuild it?
"My first test is to be tempered by the fire of Nirvana. The test will be completed automatically after the two of you have completed it," Chen Xin said.

Dugu Bo looked indignant.

No, why should I?

“I must have already undergone a transformation once,” Chen said matter-of-factly.

While he was on the giant ship, helping Su Ming intercept the Asura Sword Qi, he was eroded by the Asura Sword Qi. His own sword qi was broken and rebuilt, breaking through to level ninety-seven.

“Senior, this is the perfect opportunity to completely eliminate the drawbacks of poisonous techniques.”

Su Ming felt this was an opportunity for Dugu Bo to rebuild his foundation.

"By the way, what are your performance evaluation rewards?"

"The lifespan of all Soul Rings will be increased by 500 years."

Five hundred years is not a short time.

Moreover, the fire of Nirvana is not an ordinary flame that can be obtained at will.

The assessment itself is a reward.

"But how do we receive the baptism of the fires of rebirth? Do we have to walk into those fires ourselves?"

As the three were puzzled, a pillar of light shot into the sky from the altar.

The flames of rebirth from the entire small world were drawn to the altar and converged, descending from the sky and enveloping the three of them.

The power of the Nirvana Flame was astonishing, but none of the three were ordinary and were able to withstand its damage.

"The true meaning of Nirvana?"

Su Ming first guided the flame into his body, letting the Nirvana Fire burn him.

Because of his mastery of the Ice and Fire Refining Body, the Nirvana Fire did not harm him in the slightest. Instead, it tempered him within his body, further removing impurities.

"Does one have to die once to understand?"

Su Ming's idea was very simple.

Nirvana, isn't it just rebirth after death?
Learning directly from flames is definitely not very efficient.

The price is a bit high, requiring five levels of soul power plus the need to reactivate the soul ring.

"The lifespan of all my spirit rings has increased by a thousand years. I wonder if this will also help me activate my spirit rings."

Each time a soul ring is activated, its age can be increased, but Su Ming is not a casual person. He cannot just find any ten-thousand-year-old soul beast to activate the soul ring.

Each activation inevitably leads to a higher level.

There are too many inferior parts, so we'll definitely have to put in more effort to purify them in the future.

Purification?

Su Ming's heart stirred.

He didn't rush to commit suicide; instead, he manipulated the Nirvana Flame to merge into his soul ring.

"Ha, I see."

Nirvana is not just about being reborn after death.

Compared to rebirth after death, Nirvana excels at near-death recovery.

"So I still want to commit suicide, then transform my power into the fire of rebirth, and be resurrected and return."

"I used my own methods to resurrect myself, while the power was preserved for me by the fire of Nirvana."

Thinking of this, Su Ming raised his hand to end his life.
