Douluo Continent: The Phoenix God Returns

Chapter 92 The Water of the River of Oblivion

"The Phoenix God's second test: the waters of the River of Oblivion, cleanse!"

The first Phoenix God was skilled in using the fire element and even cultivated the Nanming Li Fire, which was known as the strongest fire. The second Phoenix God was skilled in the water element, which was called the River of Oblivion, and could purify all things in the world and wash away memories.

"Little one, the waters of my River of Oblivion have the property of purification, capable of purifying and cleansing all things under heaven. Your second trial is to be baptized by the River of Oblivion in the sea of ​​oblivion. The reward is the same as the first trial: your second soul ring will transform into a divine ring." The second-generation Phoenix God said softly, and the next second, with a wave of his hand, the surrounding environment underwent a tremendous change.

Before them stretched an endless sea, but the Sea of ​​Oblivion was blood-yellow in color. The second-generation Phoenix God raised his hand, and a burst of light flashed, but it did not bring any pressure to Ye Li. A platform with a radius of one meter slowly appeared, and symbols that Ye Li could not understand were engraved on the platform, which was very strange.

"This is where you'll take your second test. I'll stay here with you throughout the assessment."

The second-generation Phoenix God's gaze fell on Ye Li, and he slowly said, "From now on, you must persevere on that platform and undergo the baptism of the River of Oblivion. Only when you fully master the River of Oblivion can you truly master the element of water."

Ye Li finally understood the meaning of this second test. It was to make him undergo the baptism of the River of Oblivion on that platform, which was the so-called purification.

"Then I'll begin now." Ye Li said as she sat cross-legged on the platform on the Sea of ​​Oblivion.

As the second-generation Phoenix God loosened his grip, Ye Li felt an inexplicable pressure. Facing the Sea of ​​Oblivion, he felt somewhat nervous. Without the restriction, the Sea of ​​Oblivion began to spread over the platform where Ye Li was sitting.

Before long, the water of the River of Oblivion had risen to below Ye Li's shoulders. He had thought that the water of the River of Oblivion, like the Southern Bright Fire, would require a great test to refine and absorb, but the water of the River of Oblivion was very calm and did not pose any threat to his body.

Could it be that my second test was even easier than the first? The next moment, Ye Li's expression changed, and his body trembled violently.

"This isn't aimed at the physical body, but at the soul, at my memories! The River of Oblivion... the River of Oblivion, the waters of the underworld! It exists in both the realms of Yin and Yang!"

Ye Li immediately activated his divine power to resist the erosion of the River of Oblivion. He couldn't quite explain the feeling. It seemed that the impurities in his body were being constantly removed under the baptism of the River of Oblivion, and his soul was also solidified under its influence. As for the impact on his memories, it was more like an attack on his soul.

After figuring out the benefits of the River of Oblivion, Ye Li breathed a sigh of relief and simply withdrew his cultivation, allowing the River of Oblivion to better temper his divine sense and soul, but using most of his divine power to guard his memories.

"The little guy has finally understood the benefits of the River of Oblivion. Now it's up to you to see how far you can go."

The second-generation Phoenix Goddess, standing on the shore with her arms crossed, couldn't help but relax. She had also been worried that her descendant wouldn't make it through this ordeal, but now she realized that she had underestimated her own offspring.

From this day forward, Ye Li will undergo one complete purification baptism after another until the waters of the River of Oblivion have no effect on him, only then will he have passed the second test.

Immersed in the waters of the River of Oblivion, Ye Li's body was already numb and devoid of feeling. The pain, like a thousand needles piercing his heart, tormented him to the point of wanting to live or die. It seemed that his second test was even more painful than the first. He had no time to rest and could only soak in the River of Oblivion, undergoing baptism at every moment.

For a period of time at the beginning, Ye Li endured unparalleled pain as if he were living in hell. However, as time went by, under the constant tempering of the Sea of ​​Oblivion, the pain he felt gradually lessened, and sometimes it even came in waves.

This situation became increasingly obvious, and eventually Ye Li stopped using divine power to protect his memories, because the waters of the River of Oblivion had almost no effect on him. At this moment, Ye Li's divine sense and soul power had become unimaginably strong.

Ye Li transformed all her divine power into water elemental power and began to absorb the vast Sea of ​​Oblivion. As her body absorbed the water, Ye Li clearly felt as if she had fully merged into the waters of the Sea of ​​Oblivion, constantly purifying herself.

Suddenly, Ye Li had a sudden realization: he was like a part of the River of Oblivion, a part of the world, and his whole being had been completely immersed in this wonderful feeling.

"Purification and baptism have been performed; I am now the Lord of the River of Oblivion!"

Deep within Ye Li's mind, that familiar voice rang out, "The second trial of the Phoenix God, the baptism of the River of Oblivion, has been passed. The second soul ring will begin its transformation."

After he finished speaking, the soul of the second-generation Phoenix God on the shore slowly dissipated, transforming into a pure power that flowed into Ye Li's body.

Under the watchful eyes of Gu Yuena and Qingluan, Ye Li's second soul ring now features a golden phoenix design, and its color has changed to a blood-yellow divine ring. The two divine rings, platinum and blood-yellow, stand prominently behind Ye Li's head.

"To have passed two major assessments in just three days is impressive."

Qingluan was truly envious of her nephew's talent. Neither the Southern Bright Fire nor the Water of Oblivion was easy to refine, especially the Water of Oblivion, which was impossible to cross without a strong will.
