The Phoenix Trial was indeed terrifying. If Yun Che had not been immune to all fires, he would have died countless times under the flames of the Purgatory Flame Devil. And this second level, needless to say, must be much more terrifying than the first level.
The endless wasteland was barren, and the wind was still scorching, but it brought a heavy sense of desolation and loneliness. At this moment, a loud and clear phoenix cry suddenly came from the sky, and then the originally dark sky suddenly turned red, as if it was burned red by heavenly fire.
Yun Che looked up and suddenly discovered that there were countless red spots in the scarlet sky. Then, the phoenix cry sounded again, and a red spot in the sky suddenly flew down towards him like a meteor, getting closer and closer in his pupils, getting bigger and bigger, and finally, the image of a phoenix was clearly revealed in Yun Che's sight.
It was actually a small phoenix about six feet long, with its body covered in red fire. It fell very fast, like a sharp arrow.
Puff!!
The flaming phoenix fiercely hit Yun Che's body and exploded instantly, erupting into a huge fireball and a rain of fire all over the sky. If it were anyone else, the second level of the trial would have failed, because this terrifying phoenix flame was enough to burn a strong man in the Spiritual Profound Realm directly and seriously injure him, but these flames had no killing power against Yun Che. It was just that the powerful impact and blasting force knocked Yun Che directly to the ground, and his whole body was full of blood and qi.
Chirp~~~
The sound of a phoenix rang out from the sky again, and another phoenix shadow shot down like a flaming arrow. This time, Yun Che did not dare to take it head-on, and quickly dodged. The phoenix shadow impacted the ground, and the flames exploded, cracking the ground into a long gully. Before Yun Che could stand firmly on his heels, the sound of a phoenix rang out above his head again, and this time, it was a continuous sound of phoenix calls, and three consecutive phoenix shadows flew down from three directions, shooting directly at Yun Che.
Yun Che flipped his body to avoid the first phoenix shadow, then leaped back with all his strength to avoid the second one.
"Shadow of the Star God!"
Yun Che's body flashed sideways in mid-air, narrowly avoiding the third phoenix shadow.
Boom boom boom!!
Three phoenix shadows exploded one after another, and flames rose to a height of more than ten meters. But then a louder phoenix cry came. Yun Che looked up and saw that this time, seven phoenix shadows fell towards him at the same time...
Damn it! You can’t play like this! Yun Che frowned and cursed in his heart.
…………………………
After Yun Che stepped into the entrance of the trial ground, the formation that was originally sealed there reappeared. But Lan Xueruo did not leave, but stood there all the time. She had heard Feng Baichuan say that the trial inside was terrifying. According to Feng Baichuan, with Yun Che's strength, even if he had the fire-type profound art, it was basically impossible for him to stay inside for more than ten breaths.
But ten breaths passed, twenty breaths passed, thirty breaths passed… half a quarter of an hour passed… Yun Che still did not come out.
Lan Xueruo could no longer remain calm, and her expression became more and more anxious. After waiting for a quarter of an hour, she could no longer remain calm and asked Feng Baichuan anxiously, "Feng Clan Leader, why hasn't he come out yet? Didn't you say that he would come out in ten breaths at most?"
Feng Baichuan had already been feeling uneasy. After hearing what Lan Xueruo said, he could only comfort her, "Perhaps, the trials that everyone goes through after entering are not exactly the same. So it's hard to say how long it will take... Don't worry, Brother Yun is not the kind of person who doesn't know his limits. If he reaches a point where he can't bear it, he will come out right away."
Lan Xueruo said nothing more, suppressing her anxiety and continuing to wait.

Countless phoenix calls overlapped in chaos, so sharp that they almost tore the sky apart. From the beginning, one phoenix at a time, to three in a wave, seven in a wave, fifteen in a wave... Now, the sky is filled with phoenix calls and shadows, covering the sky and the sun, like a terrifying meteor rain.
Yun Che used the Star God Fragment to move swiftly and shuttle through the meteor shower. Although his Star God Fragment was currently only at the first level, this agility skill from Jasmine, even though it was only at the lowest level, still had extremely astonishing power, allowing him to shuttle through the Phoenix Arrow Formation like a phantom, leaving behind a large shadow that did not have time to dissipate.
However, these Phoenix Shadows were too dense in the end, and he simply couldn’t dodge them all. After dozens of waves, he had been hit seven or eight times. The impact force of the Phoenix Shadows was not comparable to the power of the flames they carried, but it was still a big threat to Yun Che, who was only in the Nascent Profound Realm. Every time he was hit by a Phoenix Shadow, the protective profound energy on his body would be weakened a little. Coupled with the too frequent activation of the Star God Shattered Shadows, the consumption was also quite huge.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom…
Pieces of Phoenix shadows exploded around him. The originally flat ground was now full of potholes and scars. There was almost no intact place in sight.
Again, if he wasn't afraid of fire, he would have died hundreds of times.
The Fire Seed of the Evil God undoubtedly gave him a big cheat in this Phoenix Trial.
BOOM!!!!
In the last wave, there were more than a hundred phoenix shadows falling from the sky. The flames released from their bodies completely illuminated the sky red. The moment they fell, the vast land was engulfed in flames, and the ground was burned into a pitch-black scorched earth. Yun Che was hit by seven phoenix shadows at the same time, and the protective profound energy in his body was completely dispersed in an instant. But fortunately, the impact force only stopped at the bottom, and he did not suffer any damage except for a churning in his chest.
“Huh… is it finally over?” Standing in the everlasting flames, Yun Che looked up at the sky and breathed a long sigh of relief. The sound of the phoenix had completely stopped, and there was finally no phoenix shadow in the sky. At this moment, he began to admire the ancestor that Feng Baichuan mentioned. With a mortal body and the strength of the Profound Spirit Realm, he actually passed through the terrifying Phoenix Flame Formation just now. He must be an extraordinary genius.
The surrounding flames slowly died down, and the second level of the trial finally came to an end. Yun Che could not say that he had passed it, but rather that he had managed to get through it with his special physique. At this moment, the scenery in front of him began to distort, and then became increasingly darker. When Yun Che was about to check the scene of the third level of the trial, he found that it had become pitch black in front of him.
Then, in the dark world, a pair of golden eyes opened, and the voice of the Phoenix Spirit rang out in his heart.
"It surprises me that you actually have a special physique that is not afraid of fire. If I am not mistaken, the aura inside your body belongs to the ancient evil god."
“That’s right.” Yun Che nodded. Deep down, he was not surprised that the Phoenix Spirit could actually recognize the Heretic God’s aura. After all, the Phoenix and the Heretic God both belonged to the ancient god clan.
"The evil god is not the ancestor of the elements, but he is the nemesis of all elements. The evil god's affinity for the elements is unmatched by anyone in the world. If you can inherit the complete power of the evil god, then not only fire, but also water, wind, thunder, earth, domains, dimensions, spirits... will all be conquered by you and will never be able to harm you."
Yun Che: “…”
"You were able to pass the first two trials not because you have enough strength, but because of your physique. Although this is a kind of cheating, if you pass, you pass. I have no right to veto. However, the third trial: Corrupted Heart Flame is a trial of the heart, which has nothing to do with fire. Your physical advantage will disappear. And this third trial is also the most difficult trial to pass. Over the countless years, a total of 329 people have passed the first two trials, but only seven people have passed the third trial."
“Seven?” Yun Che was stunned.
Although he had passed the first two trials easily by cheating, he also clearly witnessed how terrible these two trials were. Those who could pass these two trials with the cultivation of the Spiritual Profound Realm were undoubtedly top geniuses, and as for the True Profound Realm, there was no possibility of passing.
But even among such peerless geniuses, only two out of a hundred people can pass the third level of the trial! ?
How terrifying is this third trial?
"However, you don't need to be too nervous. The third level is a test of the heart. It does not involve fighting, but depends on your inner choice. If you are determined enough in your pursuit of strength, then even if your profound strength is low, you may be able to pass it easily. On the contrary, if you don't have enough obsession, then sinking in the mortal world is also an option. After all, strength is not everything in life."
"Are you ready?"
A trial of the heart?
Having lived two lives and experienced so many life-and-death situations, the thing I’m least afraid of should be the test of my state of mind, right?
The words "Trial of the Heart" calmed Yun Che's heart. Even when faced with the extremely low pass rate mentioned by the Phoenix Spirit, he was not as nervous as he was when facing the first and second trials. Without hesitation, Yun Che nodded directly: "Let's get started."
"As you wish... I wish you success."
The pupils of the Phoenix Spirit disappeared, and the dark world twisted again. Yun Che felt as if his body was swept up by a storm and drifted in the twisted space. He closed his eyes and whispered in his heart: Let me see what kind of heart test it is. The thing in this world that can truly break my state of mind... should no longer exist.
In the darkness, he felt his consciousness gradually becoming blurred, which made him open his eyes alertly. However, the heaviness of his brain was irresistible to him. His vision and consciousness became increasingly blurred until they were completely silent.
When he regained consciousness, he felt slight pain from all parts of his body. His body was weak, as if he had just recovered from a serious injury. There was a faint smell of blood in his nose... that was the smell of his own blood.
What's going on? Why is my body so weak? It's like I just got seriously injured... And this feeling, this smell... why is it so familiar?
He slowly opened his eyes, and with his vision gradually becoming clearer, he could see clearly where he was. This was a simple bamboo house, with a few simple small tables made of bamboo, which were filled with various medicine jars and gauze. On another small table placed together were various healing instruments, as well as piles of white cloth strips stained with blood.
The whole hut was filled with the strong smell of medicine and blood, with only the thin blanket covering him giving off a light and warm fragrance. Through the simple bamboo window, he saw a row of men's clothes hanging on a string... These clothes were covered with layers of patches, and although they had been carefully washed, they were heavily stained with blood, and after drying, there were still faint bloodstains.
The moment he regained consciousness, Yun Che felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He suddenly sat up from the bed, staring blankly at everything in front of him. His heart was like a small boat in a storm, swaying wildly...
This is… This is…
