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

Zi Yan’s Dragon-Phoenix Trial, the Awakening of the Burning Realm Dragon FlameThe twelfth trial ground in the back mountain of the Nishen Hall was the ”Volcanic Dragon Nest” in the Far North of the Douluo Continent. This was the habitat of ancient dragon-type Spirit Beasts, where red magma erupted from the volcanic crater, surrounded by dense dragon pressure. Hidden within the dragon nest at the bottom of the volcano was a ”dragon phoenix origin crystal.” Zi Yan’s trial required her to dive into the dragon nest, gain the recognition of the ancient dragon-type Spirit Beasts, absorb the energy of the dragon phoenix origin crystal, break through the shackles of the Dragon Phoenix Bloodline, and unlock the God-Defying Dragon Phoenix: World-Burning Form. This would grant her Dragon Phoenix Fire the power to burn through the God Realm’s barriers and severely wound Divinities.

Outside the spatial barrier, the God Realm Enforcers were conducting a breakthrough ceremony, and the energy fluctuations were becoming increasingly intense. The Nishen Hall had basically consolidated the order of the continent, and the concept of ”coexistence of humans and beasts” was being accepted by more and more people. In the Mass Grave of Cangyun Town, Xiao Ling barely managed to survive on water given by patrolling soldiers, yet he remained on the brink of death, having completely reduced to a beggar living on handouts.

Zi Yan stood at the volcanic crater, her purple dragon phoenix wings spread wide. The dragon scales on her body shimmered with a metallic luster, and her eyes were filled with eager light. Although her Dragon Phoenix Bloodline had awakened, she had never been able to fully control it, especially when facing the holy power of the God Realm, where she would experience a degree of suppression. The scene of Su Chen taking her to find the essence blood of dragon-type Spirit Beasts and fighting the Volcanic Giant Dragon together deep within the volcano was the most profound bond in her heart—it was that trust from fighting side-by-side that gave her the courage to challenge even greater power.

“Zi Yan, the ancient dragon-type Spirit Beasts in the dragon nest are ill-tempered and full of hostility towards humans. The dragon phoenix origin crystal is guarded by an Ancient Volcanic Great Dragon.” Su Chen’s voice reached her through the Nishen Mark, as black God-Defying Soul Power formed a defensive barrier on the surface of her body. “Remember, dragons value strength and dignity most. Do not try to conquer them by force; use your Dragon Phoenix Bloodline to resonate with them and gain their recognition.”

Zi Yan nodded and flapped her dragon phoenix wings vigorously, leaping into the volcanic crater. The interior of the volcano was unbearably hot, with red magma churning and emitting terrifyingly high temperatures. Any ordinary Spirit Master would be instantly incinerated into ash just by approaching. However, Zi Yan’s Dragon Phoenix Bloodline naturally countered flames, and the high temperature of the magma had no effect on her whatsoever.

Her figure darted quickly through the volcanic tunnels and soon reached the dragon nest. In the center of the nest, a massive Ancient Volcanic Great Dragon lay curled up. The dragon phoenix origin crystal hovered above the dragon’s head, emitting a purple-gold light.

The Ancient Volcanic Great Dragon sensed the presence of an outsider and snapped its eyes open. Its golden dragon pupils were filled with hostility as immense dragon pressure bore down on Zi Yan. “Human brat, how dare you break into my dragon nest to snatch my dragon phoenix origin crystal! Today, I shall burn you to ash!”

The giant dragon suddenly opened its mouth, spewing a massive blast of dragon breath toward Zi Yan. Zi Yan did not dodge; her dragon phoenix wings spread, and purple Dragon Phoenix Fire erupted from her body, colliding with the dragon breath. *Boom!* The two flames clashed, exploding with a massive surge of energy, causing the magma inside the volcano to churn violently.

“Hmm? Dragon Phoenix Bloodline?” A hint of surprise flashed in the Ancient Volcanic Great Dragon’s eyes. “I didn’t expect to see an inheritor of the Dragon Phoenix Bloodline in this era. But with just this bit of power, you aren’t qualified to take the dragon phoenix origin crystal!”
