Martial Universe: Invincible through lottery, with godlike comprehension from the start.

Liu Bai smiled and said something to Lin Fan, then stretched out his palm, and the ancient key in his palm quickly emitted rays of light.

As the key emitted a peculiar light, even the bronze door that had remained motionless, unmoved by any means employed by others, began to gleam.

"laugh!"

The ancient key slowly floated away from Liu Bai's hand, its light growing increasingly intense until it finally condensed into a magical rune that shone upon the tightly closed ancient gate.

"Buzz!"

In the next instant, the bronze gate, which had been tightly closed for who knows how many years, finally cracked open a little under the burning gazes of the crowd.

"Hehe, Brother Lin Fan, it seems my key is the key to this bronze gate. Then let's go in first, and if there is an opportunity in the future, we can get together properly."

Liu Bai stared intently at the cracked bronze gate, smiled at Lin Fan, and with a wave of his hand, the ancient key emitted a halo of light, enveloping the entire group before rushing into the bronze gate with a "whoosh".

Crunch!

As Liu Bai and his group entered, the bronze gate, which had opened a crack, closed tightly again, disappointing many onlookers.

"Let's get started!"

Seeing that Liu Bai and the others had successfully entered the bronze gate, Lin Fan smiled slightly and said to Lin Dong and Xiao Yan.

"Ah."

Lin Dong and Xiao Yan nodded and each took out an ancient key.

The ancient keys of the three individuals simultaneously emitted light, each opening a bronze gate.

"laugh!"

Soon, Lin Fan and his two companions, enveloped in a halo of light, began to float up and eventually entered their respective bronze gates.

Just as the three set off, dozens of blood-red figures suddenly appeared around them, unable to resist their greed, and flew rapidly toward the bronze gate.

However, soon, those people all exploded into a bloody mist without warning.

Seeing this, the remaining crowd in the square finally suppressed their restlessness and could only watch helplessly as Lin Fan and his two companions entered the bronze gate.

Then, the bronze gate creaked and slowly closed again.

Just as it was when it was sealed away, it has remained unchanged since time immemorial...

Chapter 174 The Vermilion Bird Trial, The Vermilion Bird King! [Please continue reading]

The moment Lin Fan entered the bronze gate, darkness quickly enveloped his vision.

Even all of its senses are sealed within its body.

The powerful spiritual energy that had been surging around him was forcibly compressed back into his body.

The sudden lockdown startled Lin Fan for a moment, but he quickly relaxed.

The moment Lin Fan relaxed, the darkness quietly dissipated, and slivers of light pierced through the darkness once more, shining upon Lin Fan.

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes slightly as he surveyed the scene before him.

What came into his view was an enormous gate. Standing before it, Lin Fan felt as insignificant as an ant.

The giant gate was a pale red color, but it was not closed at the moment; it appeared to be open.

Looking behind the giant gate, everything was blurry and unclear.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, red light gathered above the giant gate, and ancient characters seemed to emerge faintly, possessing a captivating charm.

"The Four Symbols Mysterious Ancestor, the Vermilion Bird Palace."

Lin Fan stared at the ancient characters and murmured to himself.

"I never expected that I would enter the Vermilion Bird Palace. The trials here should be no problem for me."

As Lin Fan whispered, red light flashed on the giant gate, and ancient characters reappeared.

"The Vermilion Bird Trial is a perilous journey with a nine-out-of-ten chance of death. Enter at your own risk! Enter at your own risk!"

Two consecutive entrances were marked by faint glints of blood, giving off an extremely ferocious feeling.

"Tsk tsk, it seems that the entrances to the four main halls are all the same," Lin Fan chuckled, looking at the inscription on the giant gate, not particularly concerned.

Without any hesitation, Lin Fan stepped directly toward the open giant door.

After stepping through the giant gate, Lin Fan's vision suddenly blurred for a moment, and then he felt the world spinning around him.

boom!

A booming sound rang out, a flame swept past, and red light shone on Lin Fan's body.

Reflected in Lin Fan's pupils was an endless red ocean.

Lin Fan examined it carefully and quickly recognized that the red ocean was entirely formed by the accumulation of magma!

Looking around, Lin Fan found himself in this ocean of lava.

Beneath his feet was a crimson rock about ten feet long, from which lava churned and splashed onto Lin Fan's legs, instantly sending a scalding sensation through him.

Flying is not possible above the sea of ​​thunder in the Azure Dragon Palace; I wonder if it is possible to fly above this sea of ​​magma.

Looking at the seemingly boundless sea of ​​lava, Lin Fan stroked his chin and thought to himself.

Originally, Lin Fan thought that with his fire-resistant physique, the Vermilion Bird Palace trial would not pose any trouble for him.

I didn't expect to be proven wrong so quickly.

There was nothing he could do; this magma wasn't fire, and its threat to Lin Fan wasn't burning, but rather intense heat.

"Taiqing Sky-Wandering Steps!"

Lin Fan let out a low shout in his heart and immediately used the ultimate technique of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace to fly over the sea of ​​lava.

laugh!

However, just as Lin Fan rushed a few feet away from the crimson stone, an irresistible force surged from all directions, forcefully pressing his body down and landing him on the sea of ​​lava.

"Gurgle!"

The lava churned and gurgled, and the terrifying heat melted Lin Fan's shoes, causing his feet to ache terribly from the heat.

Lin Fan immediately retreated quickly, landing back on the crimson stone, pondering a countermeasure.

Lin Fan didn't want to enjoy swimming in a sea of ​​lava unless absolutely necessary.

"Have it!"

Suddenly, Lin Fan's eyes lit up as he thought of a brilliant idea.

"boom!"

With a slight thought, Lin Fan unleashed the power of the Flame Ancestral Symbol, and instantly, raging flames ignited around his body.

Lin Fan seemed to have turned into a human torch, with even the soles of his feet burning fiercely.

The raging flames separated the lava from Lin Fan's body. The flames flowed over the lava, and Lin Fan gradually moved deeper into the sea of ​​lava.

It seemed to sense that the sea of ​​magma posed no threat to Lin Fan.

In just three days, the sea of ​​lava in front of Lin Fan disappeared and turned into a sea of ​​fire.

However, it was not an ordinary flame, but a sea of ​​fire composed entirely of Nirvana fire.

Facing the sea of ​​fire formed by the Nirvana Flame, Lin Fan felt much more at ease. He directly withdrew the flames around his body and strode forward in the sea of ​​fire formed by the Nirvana Flame.

Three more days passed, and the sea of ​​fire ahead suddenly turned pitch black, transforming entirely into the infamous Nirvana Demon Flame!

"Tsk tsk! This test is a bit outrageous! If it weren't for me, even someone at the Three Realms Nirvana Realm would probably not be able to pass it."

Looking at the dark sea of ​​fire, Lin Fan chuckled and continued to stride forward with his head held high.

"Splash splash splash!"

After Lin Fan had been walking for three days in the black sea of ​​fire formed by the Nirvana Demon Flame, the pitch-black sea of ​​fire suddenly began to churn violently.

The sea of ​​fire churned more and more fiercely, until it boiled over completely, with countless flames of Nirvana Demonic Flame shooting out into the sky.

Suddenly, an extremely large shadow surged up from the depths of the sea of ​​fire!

The shadow was rather blurry, but extremely large. Lin Fan could see that almost everything within a thousand feet was shrouded in its shadow.

Lin Fan's mind stirred slightly, and he quickly retreated a distance.

As Lin Fan retreated, massive waves surged above the sea of ​​fire. Finally, with a deafening "bang," the towering fire wave swept outwards, crashing back onto the sea with earth-shattering force.

In that instant, it seemed as if the entire Vermilion Bird Palace space trembled violently.

Waves of energy swept over Lin Fan, with scalding magma, Nirvana Fire, and Nirvana Demon Flame covering almost his entire body, accompanied by a tremendous shockwave.

Under the force of the shockwave, Lin Fan's body was thrown hundreds of feet away before slowly landing.

After landing, Lin Fan made a slight thought and once again mobilized flames to envelop his entire body, preventing him from being splashed by lava again.

Upon landing back on the sea, Lin Fan immediately looked up at the sea of ​​fire ahead.

On the sea ahead, there was a colossal creature that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see.

The enormous creature's body was crimson, its feathers were dazzlingly red, and its fiery red wings spread out like two giant curtains in the sky!

A terrifying pressure, like the might of heaven, spread from his body.

In that instant, Lin Fan felt that the spiritual energy spreading around him was being forced back to his Niwan Palace by this pressure.

Even the flames on Lin Fan's body had dimmed many times over.

The enormous creature's appearance was very similar to the illustrations Lin Fan had seen; it was none other than the legendary divine beast, the Vermilion Bird!

"Has someone finally passed the Vermilion Bird Trial?"

At that moment, a soft laugh suddenly rang out above the sea of ​​lightning.

Lin Fan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure in red sitting quietly on the back of the Vermilion Bird, looking at Lin Fan with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Lin Fan clasped his hands in a respectful greeting to the figure in red and asked, "May I ask how you are addressed, senior?"

"Hehe, as for my name, I can't even remember it anymore. People usually call me the Vermilion Bird King."

The figure in red chuckled and asked curiously, "Your ability to control flames originates from the Flame Ancestral Symbol, but why is there no aura of the Flame Ancestral Symbol within you?"
