Douluo Phoenix

Chapter 140: The Awkward Things Happening in the Temple of Fire God

On this day, the seven of them left the Ice God Palace together, according to the Ice God. Shui Bing'er herself lacked experience and needed to gain more insights into life and undergo more trials, so she could leave the Ice God Palace with everyone to cultivate, and could return to the Ice God Palace to cultivate at any time.

When the seven returned to the surface, they once again felt the bitter cold of the far north. The passage they had dug leading to the Ice God Palace had miraculously vanished, leaving only layers of ice. It seemed that only Shui Bing'er would be able to enter the Ice God Palace from now on.

Xiao Fei waited patiently in place until noon before taking action.

"Sister Bing'er, I've determined the general location of the Vulcan Temple. Now I need your help to confirm the exact location."

Shui Bing'er nodded. Huo Wu, standing beside her, looked rather grim, clearly jealous.

The two held hands again, summoned the Ice Phoenix and Fire Phoenix martial souls, and merged them into a martial soul fusion skill: Ice and Fire Phoenix.

Because Shui Bing'er has reached the Title Douluo level and evolved into the Ultimate Ice, the power of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill has become even stronger, and the Ice and Fire Phoenix they formed is also larger.

After forming the Ice and Fire Phoenix, Xiao Fei clearly felt that his strength was much greater than before.

Xiao Fei quickly sensed the direction of the sun as he had guessed, and sure enough, there was a powerful force in the line of sight to the sun, and it was the power of the fire element.

The Ice and Fire Phoenix instantly grabbed the other five people with its claws, then flapped its wings and flew swiftly towards the sun.

As they drew closer to the sun, a colossal palace indeed appeared in the void, much larger than the Ice God Palace.

As the group drew closer to the palace, the surrounding temperature rose. The five of them used their soul power to resist the heat, but the Ice and Fire Phoenix seemed to have no reaction and flew straight toward the palace.

When the Ice and Fire Phoenix arrived outside the palace, Xiao Fei and Shui Bing'er dispelled their Martial Soul Fusion Technique. What greeted the seven was a colossal palace, floating in the sky and engulfed in flames. The sun seemed closer, while the ground appeared even more distant.

Before them stood a massive, fiery red gate, above which hung a plaque bearing the three large characters "Hall of the God of Fire."

As expected, the Temple of Vulcan lies in the void of the heavens, only revealing itself at noon each day, remaining hidden at other times. Moreover, because it is aligned with the sun, it is impossible to detect. Only the gods can sense it.

When the seven arrived at the gates of the Fire God Temple, they simultaneously summoned their martial spirits: "Greetings, Lord Fire God! Please summon us!"

As if summoned by some force, the gates of the Temple of Vulcan slowly opened.

The seven solemnly entered the Temple of Fire and, following the directions, arrived before a massive hall.

On the throne in the center of the hall sat a huge, fiery red phantom, which exerted pressure on everyone like a mountain.

The seven men simultaneously knelt on one knee: "Greetings, Lord Fire God."

A moment later, a mysterious force lifted the seven people up: "Get up. I didn't expect you to arrive at the Temple of Fire so quickly."

"My Temple of Fire God has been absent from the world for over 100,000 years. There is no High Priest as they claim, nor do they need any servants or believers. Therefore, only those who inherit my legacy can undergo divine trials. Others can undergo training, but there are no separate awards."

"My Fire God's inheritance is the simplest and most domineering. If you are not careful, you will be destroyed, body and soul, and burned to ashes. Do you accept my Fire God's inheritance?"

Xiao Fei couldn't help but complain in his heart, "So what if I don't have the power of faith or divine power? Otherwise, why wouldn't I even get a divine test and a reward?"

The seven men looked serious: "Lord Vulcan, we are willing to accept your test."

The God of Fire nodded, and the entire Vulcan Temple flickered with firelight, eventually forming a fiery red beam of light in the center of the temple. The beam split into seven rays, which entered directly into the foreheads of the seven people.

But something unexpected happened. The light of Yang Pojun, Niu Meng, Feng Xiaotian, and Shui Bing'er disappeared without a trace. Clearly, their attributes were not suitable for the God of Fire.

Both Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu had a red flame mark between their eyebrows, with Huo Wu's mark appearing to be darker than Huo Wushuang's.

Xiao Fei was the most troublesome. After the fiery red light entered his brow, the black tiger mark there flashed and swallowed the light, then the black mark disappeared.

The seven people present were completely dumbfounded; they couldn't believe that even the divine test energy of the God of Fire could be swallowed.

The most surprised was the God of Fire, who was still in the divine realm. How could his divine power have disappeared completely as soon as the divine test content was sent out?

The Fire God seemed somewhat skeptical. The phantom in the Fire God Temple pointed again, and an even more powerful and concentrated divine power of the Fire God entered Xiao Fei's brow. However, as soon as the energy entered Xiao Fei's brow, it was once again devoured by the black tiger and disappeared without a trace.

In the realm of the gods, within the Temple of the God of Fire, the God of Fire and the God of the Sea sat facing each other. The God of Fire asked with some confusion, "What's going on here? God of the Sea, you've sent down many divine tests; can you confirm what's happening?"

The Sea God suppressed the urge to laugh: "Only a god can interfere with the divine test. From what I just saw, Wang Xiaofei has a black tiger between his eyebrows, which seems to be the little black tiger that the Evil God King placed in Douluo Continent. I wonder how this Wang Xiaofei killed that tiger and obtained part of the Evil God King's inheritance."

"It's estimated that the Evil God King has already noticed him, and since Wang Xiaofei is carrying the Asura Demon Sword, the Asura God has probably also noticed him."

The Sea God couldn't help but mutter to himself: I told you to send down the inheritance sooner. Now it looks like it's been intercepted by the Asura or evil. Let's see how you'll be so smug in the future. Luckily, I sent down the inheritance early and had two backup plans.

"What should I do then?"

"You'd better advise Wang Xiaofei to give up that thing between his eyebrows, otherwise your legacy won't be passed down."

"Although this kid is already a Limit Douluo, he probably can't get the thing out of his brow, and if we interfere, the Asura God will definitely find out. That would be troublesome."

In the Fire God Temple of Douluo Continent, everyone in the main hall fell silent.

Looking at the crowd below, Vulcan seemed to be losing face. He had clearly guided Wang Xiaofei to participate in the inheritance assessment, but now he couldn't even lower the assessment score.

"Wang Xiaofei, you have already inherited the legacy, and you cannot accept mine."

"But, Lord Vulcan, I don't know what this thing between my eyebrows is, or how to remove it?"

"Don't worry, although you can't accept my legacy, I can make an exception and let you participate in the relevant assessments."

Xiao Fei was speechless. So what if he had an Evil God Pearl inside him? How come he couldn't even pass the assessment? In the original story, Tang San was given two godhoods directly, and he didn't even need to take the Asura God assessment; his grandfather took it for him. Why is it that everything is going wrong with him?

The majestic voice of the Fire God echoed once more in the hall: "Wang Xiaofei, you don't need to worry about the inheritance of godhood at all. With your talent and your current level 99 soul power, you will definitely become a god after a thousand years of cultivation."

"Then may I ask the God of Fire, is the divine position between my eyebrows complete? Is there any way to restore it? Could you please inquire with the Evil God King?"

Actually, Xiao Fei didn't care much about the issue of godhood. He already had his own plans, but he was being ignored time and time again, which made him a little unwilling. Moreover, he was still a little unsure about the final hurdle to becoming a god.
