Chapter 593 The Trial of the Divine Sword

Zheng—

A sword's cry rang out, and the Holy Flame Divine Sword appeared.

To Han Feng's surprise, the divine sword was not drawn from its sheath, but instead embedded itself directly into the ground of the defensive temple while still encased in its scabbard!

Seeing this, a hint of pride flashed involuntarily in Vulcan's eyes!

The first place in the defense of the divine realm is the God of Defense. Everything about the God of Defense is second to none in the defensive capabilities of the divine realm. The Temple of Defense is the oldest and most solid temple besides the Five Great God Kings' Temples and the central hub of the divine realm. But even so, without drawing its sword, the Holy Flame Divine Sword still easily cut through the stone slabs of the Temple of Defense!

Just by being able to do this, the Holy Flame Divine Sword is already one of the top-tier artifacts among first-level divine weapons!

The God of Defense took in the changes in the God of Fire's expression, but merely scoffed indifferently, not taking it to heart.

All the gods believed that the Temple of Defense was ancient and mysterious, the first temple of His Majesty the God King. But in reality, in the eyes of the God of Defense, it was just a place to live. It was not surprising that the Temple of Defense could be cut open. The Temple of Defense itself was only upgraded to the level of a first-class temple by the God of Defense. In addition, the God of Defense did not allow the Temple of Defense to unleash its power. It was just a common occurrence for the Holy Flame Divine Sword to be able to cut a gash in it.

What's so special about cutting open a temple?!

It's not that the God of Defense is boasting, but he simply stood there, letting the Holy Flame Divine Sword slash at him, and the Holy Flame Divine Sword couldn't even scratch him!

The only possible outcome is that the divine sword will shatter!

This is why the God of Defense truly disdains the so-called divine artifacts.

Unless it's an ultimate artifact!

Otherwise, they wouldn't have encouraged Han Feng to fuse the three divine artifacts to create a super divine artifact!

Han Feng didn't notice the subtle glances exchanged between the God of Fire and the God of Defense. The moment the Holy Flame Divine Sword appeared, Han Feng's attention was completely drawn to the divine sword before him!

With the scabbard in place, Han Feng couldn't see the blade of the Holy Flame Sword, but even so, a sharp sword intent that could slice through bone and flesh still rushed towards him!

Even without the sword being drawn, the sword energy emanating from the scabbard far surpassed Chen Xin's peak sword energy!

Even Chen Xin himself, upon seeing this sword, would probably feel ashamed and inferior!

Or rather, comparing Chen Xin to this divine sword in front of him is a ridiculous thing!

One is divine, the other mortal; there's no need for comparison!

With a cultivation level of only 95, he doesn't even have the qualifications to look directly at this sword!

Even Han Feng's pupils contracted, as if he were instantly struck by thousands of sharp blades, and even had the illusion that his skin was being torn open!

Besides the sword energy, the power of the flames was even more prominent. The golden-red flames spewed out terrifying fluctuations. Inside the scabbard, it seemed as if a sun that had fallen from the sky was sealed. Even Han Feng couldn't help but feel a chill from the heat of the flames!

However, compared to sword energy, the flames didn't seem to repel Han Feng at all.

Besides the fact that Han Feng possesses the ultimate fire, the main reason is that Han Feng's compatibility with the God of Fire is now extremely high. As the divine artifact inherited by the God of Fire, the Holy Flame Divine Sword is naturally close to Han Feng. In particular, the flames attached to it possess the divine power shared by all generations of the God of Fire. Naturally, it will not reject Han Feng, its successor.

But an assessment is an assessment. Not rejecting it doesn't mean welcoming it. Han Feng must rely on his own abilities to gain the Holy Flame Divine Sword's approval. The Holy Flame Divine Sword will never take the initiative to get close to Han Feng!

Han Feng was well aware of this, and after swallowing hard, he finally tried to walk towards the Holy Flame Divine Sword.

boom--

With just one step, Han Feng was startled by the whistling sword energy and golden flames!

"Hiss!" Han Feng reached up and touched a bloody mark on his cheek, gasped, and frowned deeply, knowing that this divine test was not something that could be easily accomplished!

But that didn't stop Han Feng!

The God of Defense once told Han Feng that no matter what kind of divine test it is, the ultimate goal is to enable the successor to better inherit the divine position, not to exclude the successor from the divine position. No matter how difficult the divine test is, it is possible to complete it. There is absolutely no such thing as not being able to complete the divine test!

Han Feng firmly believed in this!

If the God of Fire and the Holy Flame Sword were willing, a single sword aura would be enough to severely injure me; the moment the hilt of the sword moved, I would surely die!

But in reality, the sword energy and golden flames just now were more to test his will than to kill Han Feng!

Han Feng has achieved the level of willpower defense, and his unwavering willpower has earned the approval of the God of Defense!

Without a moment's hesitation, Han Feng resolutely took the second and third steps.

As Han Feng got closer, he was able to examine the divine sword more closely.

Unlike the magnificent and beautiful sword Han Feng had imagined, the Holy Flame Divine Sword had a sense of returning to simplicity. The unadorned hilt was neither gold nor stone, and its pitch-black color was dotted with dazzling light spots. The blade was hidden in the scabbard, and the scabbard was not real, but an outer shell formed by pure flame!

Looking at the entire Holy Flame Divine Sword, only the sword bead at the end of the hilt is noteworthy.

At the tip of the eyeball-sized sword bead is a deep and mysterious crimson gem. Upon closer inspection, countless lifelike fire beasts are carved on the sword bead, chasing the gem, yet they are all integrated into one!

Sword energy and golden flames continuously eroded Han Feng's body. Even with Han Feng's level 98 Qi and blood cultivation, it seemed insignificant under the attack of the Holy Flame Divine Sword!

With each step Han Feng took, the sword wounds on his body multiplied, but they didn't become bloody and mangled, because the surging golden flames would instantly burn away Han Feng's blood and wounds!

But Han Feng never backed down, moving forward slowly but steadily, step by step!

It took Han Feng a full half month to walk the distance of 150 steps!

When Han Feng arrived before the Holy Flame Divine Sword, he was already a charred corpse. Apart from his eyes, which were still relatively clear, there was not a single part of his body that was intact. His blood and qi were exhausted, his soul was dim, and his soul power was depleted!

But he eventually arrived before the Holy Flame Divine Sword!

Han Feng's charred lips twitched stiffly as he reached out his ghostly hand and grasped the hilt of the Holy Flame Divine Sword—the Holy Flame Divine Sword did not resist, which greatly excited Han Feng!

Han Feng has already witnessed the power of the divine sword, and now is the time to draw it!

"Go!" Han Feng mobilized the last of his strength, concentrating it in his arm, and roared like a wild beast as he tried to draw out the Holy Flame Divine Sword!

But the result left Han Feng in despair!

The Holy Flame Divine Sword seemed to have merged with its scabbard, and no matter how much Han Feng unleashed his divinity, he could not shake it in the slightest. In fact, the sword itself remained embedded in the defensive temple, completely unmoved!

The seventh test of the God of Fire was to draw the Holy Flame Divine Sword, but it did not explain what the requirements were for drawing the sword!

The sword energy and golden flames that appeared earlier were merely a test from the Holy Flame Divine Sword for Han Feng, not a requirement to draw the sword!

Even if Han Feng survives the Golden Flame Sword Qi, he may not be able to draw the divine sword!

For the first time, Han Feng felt defeated. Even if Han Feng could recover, even if the God of Fire did not intervene, the Holy Flame Divine Sword was a genuine divine sword, and the power it unleashed was divine power. How could Han Feng's soul power possibly shake it?

Perhaps if Han Feng could sit cross-legged on the spot and temper his soul power into divine power within the defensive temple, he might be able to subdue the divine sword!

Even the most powerful sword without a master will eventually run out of power!

Firstly, the divine test has no time limit, and secondly, Han Feng is in the God Realm, where there is no place more suitable for tempering divine power!

But Han Feng was not willing to give up!

That would be cheating, an unfair victory. Even if he were the Divine Sword, he would only admit defeat outright!
