Chapter 602 The Origin of the Fire-Devouring Beast

Let's go back to before Han Feng drew his sword.

Even the God of Fire and the God of Ice could not foresee the future. They had indeed guessed beforehand that the Fire-Devouring Beast, sealed deep within the Endless Ice Prison, would covet Han Feng. But to be honest, they did not think the Fire-Devouring Beast would dare to attack Han Feng!

Just as the Ice God and Fire God had predicted, the Fire-Devouring Beast did not dare to attack Han Feng; it was Han Feng who made the move!

This was something neither the Ice God nor the Fire God had anticipated!

However, I wasn't nervous at all.

With the protection of the Frost Divine Sword and the Holy Flame Divine Sword, even if the Fire Devouring Beast went berserk and attacked a mere mortal body with all its might, it would not be able to break through the blockade of the two divine swords for a while!

This period of time is enough for two level-one gods to support Han Feng!

Ice God even wished that the Fire Devouring Beast would attack Han Feng—this way, not only could the Fire Devouring Beast be lured out of that abyss space, but Ice God would also have an excuse to completely kill the Fire Devouring Beast!

The Ice God has wanted to kill the Fire Devouring Beast for a long time!

Just as the Fire-Eating Beast's claws struck Han Feng, the Ice God suddenly stood up!

The Ice God will never forget that murky, bestial aura!

In an instant, the Ice God's killing intent surged!

Although the Ice God was somewhat disappointed that he couldn't completely lure the Fire-Devouring Beast out of that abyss space and eliminate it at its root, he couldn't wait any longer. If anything happened to Han Feng, he wouldn't be able to explain it to the Fire God, the God of Defense, or even to himself. The Ice God wasn't very familiar with Han Feng, but he wouldn't use him. Just like how the Ice God had never sought a successor to take the blame for him in tens of thousands of years, whether it was pride or kindness, this was the Ice God's principle!

But at that moment, the God of Fire grabbed the God of Ice.

Ice God was puzzled. Logically speaking, shouldn't Fire God be even more nervous?

The God of Fire chuckled lightly, saying noncommittally, "No rush! Let's wait a bit longer; perhaps we can lure the snake out of its hole and completely annihilate the Fire-Devouring Beast!"

"What!?" The Ice God was even more confused. Killing the Fire-Devouring Beast was the Ice God's long-cherished wish, and it would be best if he could do it. But how could he lure out the Fire-Devouring Beast now? Did the Fire God think that Han Feng, a mere mortal, could force out the Fire-Devouring Beast!?

The Ice God, who dwells deep within the endless ice prison, is clearly not very concerned about what is happening in the divine realm!

Seeing this, the God of Fire said mysteriously, "Don't panic! This time, the Fire-Devouring Beast will surely die! Even the Evil God King can't stop it! I said it!"

The Ice Goddess was somewhat displeased, not because she thought the Fire God was boasting, but because he seemed to be hiding something from her. Just as she was about to press him for an answer, she heard a sword's cry suddenly echo from the depths of the endless ice prison, followed by a clear whistle: "Divine Sword - Ice Bodhi!"

The next moment, the entire Endless Ice Prison trembled!

"Roar—" Immediately following was a high-pitched dragon roar!

"This is!" A sharp light suddenly flashed in the Ice God's eyes!

As the Goddess of Ice, she naturally knew the source of this power. No wonder the God of Fire was so confident, using her accumulated frost divine power to deal with the Fire-Eating Beast was a direct hit to its vitals!

Ice God turned to look at Fire God with surprise, only to see Fire God looking like he had everything under control.

How could the God of Fire tell the God of Ice that this wasn't the first time Han Feng had done this? In the tens of thousands of years that the God of Fire had lived, Han Feng was the first and only anomaly who, upon obtaining a divine artifact, so decisively released all the power within it. If he was like this when there were no enemies, how could Han Feng possibly be stingy now that the Fire-Devouring Beast was in front of him?

The God of Fire would not tell the God of Ice these facts on his own initiative.

Wouldn't it be better to be a wise sage who can predict everything?

This is a role that Vulcan has never played before.

"Hmph!" Seeing that the Fire God was unwilling to say more, the Ice Goddess snorted and ignored him, excitedly muttering to herself, "This sword strike is enough to severely injure the Fire-Devouring Beast! With that fool's almost nonexistent brain, he will surely be enraged. Coupled with Han Feng's cultivation aura, which is not yet at the level of a god, the Fire-Devouring Beast will definitely want revenge and may very well break out of the abyss space. It won't be difficult to kill it!"

As long as the Fire-Devouring Beast leaves the cramped space of the abyss, the Ice God is absolutely confident that he can suppress and kill it in the Endless Ice Prison!

The only troublesome one is the evil god!

The Fire-Eating Beast is the brainchild of the Evil God. It was because the Ice God attacked the Fire-Eating Beast that he angered the Evil God, which led to the current situation. The Ice God does not want the past to repeat itself!

Thinking of this, the Ice God frowned and looked at the Fire God—the Fire God had just said that even the Evil God King couldn't stop him, and the Ice God wanted to know what gave the Fire God such confidence!

Noticing the Ice God's gaze, the Fire God naturally understood what the Ice God meant, but could only give a helpless bitter smile.

What trump card does the God of Fire have? It's nothing more than the God of Defense!

The old man in defense is someone who dares to go head-to-head with the five great god kings. As long as he gets involved with Han Feng, there's no need to worry about the god of defense not taking action!

With Han Feng as a shield, what does Vulcan have to fear?

What struck the fire god as odd was that, despite not yet having passed on his divine position, he already needed to rely on the influence of his successor.

Seeing the Fire God's wry smile, the Ice God assumed that the Fire God's trump card was not to be revealed, so he did not ask any further questions. He simply looked towards the depths of the Endless Ice Prison with a hint of excitement. Since the Fire God had the confidence, there was nothing more to say. The Ice God's long-cherished wish of tens of thousands of years could finally be fulfilled!

Back then, tens of thousands of years ago, the Ice God and the Fire God were barely gods, but their strength was still considered above average among first-level gods. With the God of Life as their master, the eight elemental gods were incredibly powerful back then.

However, the eight elemental gods were not on good terms at that time.

It wasn't a major conflict; it was just a matter between the Ice God, the Water God, and the Fire God.

The details are rather unremarkable; it's all just a bunch of ridiculous love stories, a tangled mess that's impossible to untangle, and it's impossible to tell who's right and who's wrong. If you really want to talk about it, you could argue about it for three days and three nights!

Simply put, the aloof Ice God ruined his life with his arrogance, the simple-minded Fire God was a blockhead, and the Water God, with the highest emotional intelligence, seized his own happiness!

This also led to the Ice God being troubled by love during the period immediately after becoming a god. He left the circle of elemental gods and became a loner. In addition, his personality was somewhat obsessive, and even the God of Life could not persuade him. The God of Fire did not know how to face the Ice God at that time, which made the Ice God more and more extreme.

However, none of these are the reasons why the Ice God has guarded the Endless Ice Prison for tens of thousands of years.

There are countless gods in the divine realm, and many are even more extreme than the Ice God. There is no reason to expel the Ice God for this reason.

The key to this is actually the Fire-Eating Beast!

As mentioned before, the Fire-Eating Beast is the brainchild of the Evil God, a divine beast created by the Evil God!

It's more like a weapon than a mythical beast!

This matter is still a lingering problem left by the Dragon God!

Although the Dragon God died, he left an indelible mark on the five great god-kings. The Silver Dragon King and the Golden Dragon King, who split off from the Dragon God, almost destroyed the divine realm!

Admittedly, the Golden Dragon King is now suppressed in the realm of gods, but it is merely a suppression. Why is it a suppression?

It's because they can't be killed!

The Golden Dragon King is indestructible and indestructible. Apart from sealing and suppressing him, even the five great god-kings cannot do anything about him. The same is true for the Silver Dragon King. Although the Silver Dragon King has disappeared, who knows when he will launch a counterattack against the god realm!?

If you're a thief for a thousand days, how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days?

If a loophole is ever exploited, wouldn't the divine realm be in grave danger?

Therefore, almost all five God-Kings devised their own countermeasures.

The Asura God was the most direct, only seeking to kill. He didn't believe the Golden Dragon King was truly immortal; the reason they couldn't be killed now was simply because they weren't strong enough. If any of the five God Kings could break through to the God Emperor level, wouldn't the problem be easily solved?

Therefore, the Asura God was the most diligent in cultivation among the five great god-kings, but the results were not very good. After all, in the tens of thousands of worlds and countless years of the god realm, there was only one god-emperor, the Dragon God. How easy was it to break through to the god-emperor level?

Furthermore, with the five great god-kings suppressing the other gods, the dream of becoming a god-emperor seems a distant dream.

The God of Destruction and the God of Life's method was to cultivate gods in the divine realm. The God of Destruction cultivated seven original sin gods, each one a powerful being. The God of Life cultivated eight elemental gods, which can be considered as some success. The five god-kings did suppress the gods and the number of god-kings, but the God of Destruction and the God of Life cleverly suppressed the cultivation of the elemental gods and original sin gods to the peak of first-level gods!

Given the right opportunity, with the methods of the God of Destruction and the God of Life, and even the God of Darkness, breaking through to the God-King level would be a piece of cake!

Of course, the elemental gods and the gods of original sin were unaware of these things.

It's just unknown whether the God of Darkness and the others will still agree to the plan of the Uncrowned God of Fire after learning this.
