Rebellious Lord of All Realms: Su Chen's Dark Harem

Xiao Xun’er’s trial of strange fire, protected by the Heaven-Burning Phoenix Fire.The seventh trial ground in the back mountain of Nishen Hall is the famous Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well of the Douluo Continent. Half of it is a cold pool frozen for thousands of miles, while the other half is a volcano with churning flames. This environment of dual extremes has nurtured countless exotic flowers and herbs, and it also hides the ”Heavenly Flame Source” required for Xiao Xun Er’s trial. Her trial requires her to fuse the Heavenly Flame Source within the extreme environment of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, break through the suppression of the Ancient Ice Soul, and unlock the God-Defying Flame Consort Form, evolving her Heavenly Flame into the Heaven Burning Phoenix Fire that can incinerate Divinities.

Xiao Xun Er stood in the center of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The Heavenly Flame on her body was burning fiercely, yet it appeared somewhat weak under the freezing power of the cold pool. Her Heavenly Flame was originally one of the ancient flames, but in a battle with Spirit Hall, she was severely wounded by Bibi Dong using the Ancient Ice Soul. Since then, the power of her Heavenly Flame had been greatly diminished, to the point where it could not even burn completely.

”Xun’er, your Heavenly Flame contains the spirituality of a phoenix; it is merely being suppressed by the chill of the Ice Soul.” Su Chen stood by the edge of the cold pool, his black God-Defying Soul Power transforming into a barrier that blocked the extreme energy of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. ”A phoenix nirvana, reborn through fire—only in an extreme environment can your Heavenly Flame break through its limits.”

Xiao Xun Er nodded, recalling Su Chen’s hardships in searching for the Heavenly Flame Source for her. To help her repair the flame, Su Chen had traveled across the mountains and rivers of the Douluo Continent, even venturing deep into extremely cold lands to battle the Ancient Ice Soul, all just to obtain a trace of Ice Soul energy to stimulate the flame’s evolution. This deep affection filled Xiao Xun Er’s heart with emotion.

Taking a deep breath, she leaped into the central area of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Instantly, extreme cold and scorching heat assailed her body simultaneously. The freezing power of the cold pool sought to freeze her Heavenly Flame, while the volcanic flames tried to incinerate her physical body. Xiao Xun Er gritted her teeth and circulated the Heavenly Flame within her body to counter the energies of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The chill of the Ancient Ice Soul surged from the cold pool, transforming into ice blades that shot toward Xiao Xun Er. Her Heavenly Flame was struck by the blades, causing the fire to dim significantly, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth. ”No, if this continues, the Heavenly Flame will be completely frozen.” Though anxious, Xiao Xun Er did not give up. Recalling Su Chen’s words about ”Phoenix Nirvana,” she resolutely merged her body completely with the Heavenly Flame.

”Heaven Burning Heavenly Flame, heed my command, nirvana and rebirth!” Xiao Xun Er’s voice echoed throughout the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as her body turned into a streak of red flame, charging toward the core area of the volcano. The volcanic flames enveloped her instantly. The extreme temperature caused her physical body immense pain, yet she did not back down. Instead, she unleashed all the power of the Nishen Mark within her.

The black nishen markings intertwined with the red Heavenly Flame, forming a tri-colored flame storm of black, white, and red. The storm swept through the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; the freezing power of the cold pool was melted by the storm, and the volcanic flames were absorbed by it, transforming into even more powerful energy that poured into Xiao Xun Er’s body.
