Celestial God Hunters

<!--go-->Chapter 434 The Celestial God Hunters

"I, the Phoenix God, have come today to find someone who can inherit my divine position."

The woman smiled slightly and said with elegant manners.

Yes, this noble and beautiful woman in a red dress is none other than the Phoenix God, Second-Level God in the Divine Realm!

"The Phoenix God? Yet another deity?"

The Black-Robed Man froze instantly.

During this period, the entire Douluo Plane underwent an unprecedented upheaval, with gods who had disappeared since ancient times suddenly becoming active again.

Angel God, Rakshasa God, White Tiger God, Sea God, Asura God... these noble and powerful deities emerged one after another like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, leaving people dumbfounded and filled with awe.

And now, there is another Phoenix God...

What exactly is going on?

The Black-Robed Man opened his mouth, intending to take this opportunity to ask a few more questions, but unexpectedly, the Phoenix God spoke again.

She looked down at Ma Hongjun with a smile and said softly, "Little fellow, your Martial Soul is the Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix, which perfectly matches my divine position. Are you willing to inherit my divine position and officially begin the Phoenix Nine Trials?"

"Yes! Of course I'm willing!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun did not hesitate at all. He hurriedly and excitedly took two steps forward, steadied himself, and said in a calm tone, "Your Majesty, the Phoenix God, Ma Hongjun is willing to become your successor."

"Very good."

The Phoenix God nodded in satisfaction, and without further ado, extended a slender finger and pointed it at Ma Hongjun!

The next moment, a fiery red beam shot out from her fingertip, instantly piercing Ma Hongjun's brow. A clear, cold, yet majestic female voice resounded throughout the Hell Road:

"The Phoenix Nine Trials, begin."

"First Trial: Kill a Soul Saint expert from the Heaven Dou Empire!"

"The Second Trial: kill a Shrek Academy Earth-rank instructor!"

"The Third Trial: assist the Spirit Hall in counterattacking Jialing Pass!"

"..."

"Seventh Trial: Slay one of the seven Saint Pillar Guardian Douluo of Sea God Island!"

"..."

"The Ninth Trial: Become Celestial God Hunters and deliver the Divine Realm commands to the White Tiger God!"

Upon hearing the conditions of the Phoenix Nine Trials, Ma Hongjun, who had already been brainwashed by the Evil Soul Master of the Holy Spirit Church, did not react much, but the Black-Robed Man immediately understood!

This Phoenix God is targeting the Heaven Dou Empire!

In addition to the recent frequent appearances of various deities and the vague rumors circulating, it can be basically concluded that the man in black is likely from the Douluo God Realm, targeting the man behind the Heaven Dou Empire!

The young master of the Xuanyuan Family, the husband of Empress Xue Ke, Nation Protecting Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire!

The Black-Robed Man was extremely excited at the thought of this possibility!

As the leader of the Holy Spirit Church, the Black-Robed Man hated that man with a passion that ran deep.

It was because of that man that most of the titled Douluo of the Holy Spirit Church perished, and even the exceptionally talented Holy Son Ye Meijing died in the Frozen Forest.

This severely weakened the Holy Spirit Church, and almost left the Holy Spirit Church, the Black-Robed Man, without any support.

Fortunately, when the Holy Spirit Church was in its most perilous moment, Pope Bi Bi Dong of the Spirit Hall extended a helping hand.

At that time, Bi Bi Dong had already defeated the Slaughter King, conquered the City of Slaughter, and acquired a large number of Evil Soul Master.

However, Bi Bi Dong found it difficult to recruit these Evil Soul Masters for her own use.

Who told her that her apparent identity was the Pope of the Spirit Hall?

It's impossible for the Spirit Hall, which worships the Angel God and represents light and justice, to recruit Evil Soul Master stand on the same side as them.

Moreover, the Evil Soul Master of the Holy Spirit Church have repeatedly clashed with the Spirit Hall. They severely damaged a Spirit Hall Silent Extinction Squad in Silves City and even ambushed the Spirit Hall's Holy Temple Knight Order in the suburbs of Heaven Dou City, almost killing even the Holy Maiden Hu Liena.

This made everyone in the Spirit Hall extremely disgusted with Evil Soul Master, to the point that the deep-seated hatred between the two sides was impossible to bridge.

Having no other choice, Bi Bi Dong could only secretly contact the Holy Spirit Church and ask them to recruit the Evil Soul Master from the City of Slaughter Holy Spirit Church.

In return, the Holy Spirit Church must stand on the same side as the Spirit Hall against the Heaven Dou Empire and that man!

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. The Holy Spirit Church already had a grudge against the Heaven Dou Empire and that man, so it was a perfect match for Bi Bi Dong.

The two sides colluded and cooperated quite happily.

Just like this time, when the Holy Spirit Church wanted the new Holy Son Ma Hongjun to obtain the best Soul Ring to advance to the Soul Saint, Bi Bi Dong provided assistance based on the contents of the Douluo Diary, opening the Hell Road and letting them hunt down the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent.

The Black-Robed Man even speculated that this Phoenix God was arranged by Bi Bi Dong to appear.

After all, Bi Bi Dong has now become a god, and seems to be a very powerful First-Level God, the Rakshasa God.

It is perfectly reasonable for gods to communicate with each other.

However, the Black-Robed Man was wrong about this.

Although the Phoenix God is only Second-Level God and not as powerful as the Rakshasa God, as an established deity, the Phoenix God has no connection or affiliation with Bi Bi Dong, a newly emerging deity, and the two have never even met.

The reason why the Phoenix God appeared in Hell Road was actually quite coincidental.

She was originally ordered by the God Realm Committee to descend upon the Douluo Plane to contact and communicate with the newly promoted White Tiger God, Evil Eye Saint King.

But as soon as she arrived, she sensed a pure phoenix aura emanating from beneath the City of City of Slaughter, so she came to investigate.

Upon seeing this, the Phoenix God felt that she had found the successor to her divine position.

As for why the Phoenix God was in such a hurry to inherit the divine position, it was because of the black hole prophecy mentioned by the God of Prophecy, and also because she didn't want to come to the Douluo Plane anymore.

She had already heard the rumors that the descendant of the Xuanyuan Family in the Douluo Plane had actually imprisoned the Angel God, defeated the Sea God Poseidon, and fought the Asura God King for a quarter of an hour without being defeated!

With such terrifying strength, she really didn't want to provoke them.

She didn't want to perish in this world without knowing why.

She also wants to relinquish her divine duties and, like her predecessor as Angel Goddess, travel freely through various galaxies and venture into the vast sea of stars!

Therefore, she planned to make Ma Hongjun Celestial God Hunters.

The Celestial God Hunters, also known as Celestial God Hunters, possess virtually no divine power, yet they constitute the largest component of the Divine Realm.

Most of them wield God Lance mass-produced in the Divine Realm, patrolling the entire Divine Realm like a guard, and even accepting missions from deities to various planes.

Almost every deity of level three or above has a considerable number of Celestial God Hunters under their command.

The Phoenix God... is an exception.

Lively and cheerful by nature, she didn't care much about her duties as a deity. In the Divine Realm, she always went her own way and therefore never recruited any Celestial God Hunters as her subordinates.

Now that she needs people, she realizes she has no one available.

Fortunately, she had a keen eye and easily found a tool like Ma Hongjun.

Although most of the Celestial God Hunters in the Divine Realm possess at least the strength of Level 99 Peerless Douluo, or even a demigod, it was still easy for her, the Phoenix God, to personally arrange for Ma Hongjun, whose Soul Power cultivation was only at the Soul Saint level, to be granted the identity of a Celestial God Hunters.

When the time comes, the dangerous task of contacting the White Tiger God will be entrusted to the Celestial God Hunters Ma Hongjun.

If Ma Hongjun were to die, she would also do her good deed and offer incense and prayers for Ma Hongjun.

This is the deepest reason why she chose Ma Hongjun as the successor of the deity.

After giving Ma Hongjun a deep look, the Phoenix God suddenly erupted in a burst of vibrant flames. Instantly, her graceful figure vanished beneath the burning flames.

After the Phoenix God left, the Black-Robed Man looked at Ma Hongjun with complicated emotions, feeling quite uneasy.

Ma Hongjun was originally a student at the Shrek Academy. When the former Holy Son Ye Meijing was alive, she took a liking to this fat man's talent and kidnapped Ma Hongjun from the Star Dou Great Forest to the Holy Spirit Church.

After joining the Holy Spirit Church, Ma Hongjun was brainwashed for a long time and became a complete tool of the Holy Spirit Church.

Later, after Ye Meijing died, Ma Hongjun, due to his exceptional talent and the Holy Spirit Church's decline in talent, was taken in as a disciple by the Black-Robed Man, the Holy Spirit Church, and became a candidate for the new Holy Son.

Now, Ma Hongjun has broken through to the Soul Saint realm and is qualified to officially become the Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Church.

Once Ma Hongjun breaks through to the Title Douluo, with the powerful combat strength of the Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix Martial Soul, the Holy Spirit Church will surely rise again!

However, Phoenix God's actions today have completely disrupted this plan.

The man in Black-Robed Man never expected that Ma Hongjun, a mere tool, would actually obtain a divine position.

But if Ma Hongjun really becomes a god in the future, will the brainwashing methods of the Holy Spirit Church still be effective?

The Black-Robed Man was deeply worried about this.

The Holy Spirit Church's brainwashing methods are indeed very powerful; according to historical records, they can even control titled Douluo.

The difference between a god and a titled Douluo is probably like the difference between the sun and an ant. To continue using brainwashing techniques to control a god is simply wishful thinking.

The Black-Robed Man could imagine that Ma Hongjun probably wouldn't even need to become a god; as long as he became a demigod, he would likely be able to break free from control and remember everything from the past.

So here's the question: will Ma Hongjun hold a grudge against the Holy Spirit Church then?

That's absolutely true.

It is estimated that the moment Ma Hongjun breaks free from brainwashing control, he will take action to wipe out the Holy Spirit Church.

Thinking of this, the Black-Robed Man suddenly felt a headache coming on.

For the safety of the Holy Spirit Church, Ma Hongjun should be killed immediately to prevent future troubles.

The man in Black-Robed Man felt it was a pity to kill such a talented tool.

Moreover, Ma Hongjun is now the successor of the Phoenix God. If we kill Ma Hongjun, will the Phoenix God be furious and personally deal with the Holy Spirit Church?

Very likely!

Thinking about it this way, the Black-Robed Man was completely hesitant, feeling that the Holy Spirit Church was doomed no matter what.

This is a difficult situation...

In the northern part of the Heaven Dou Empire, Frozen Forest.

The Frozen Forest is located on the edge of the Far North Land and is a vast cold-climate coniferous forest. Like the Star Dou Great Forest, it is one of the three major habitats of Soul Beast.

Moreover, due to the harsh environment, extremely low temperatures, and sparse human presence, only Soul Master with cold-attribute Martial Soul choose to come here to hunt Soul Beast. Therefore, there are more diverse Soul Beast species here, and fewer Soul Beast have been driven to extinction by humans.

At this moment, a group of Soul Master were chewing sausages with gusto, the rising steam from their bodies showing just how much energy was contained within the sausages.

Before these Soul Master lay a gigantic, dying Soul Beast, its entire body radiating a magnificent aura.

This Soul Beast was covered in strange scales, each scale like a small mirror, constantly reflecting light.

Its name is Mirror Shadow Beast.

Unfortunately, this chameleon-like Soul Beast was on its deathbed, and those who surrounded and killed it were the Soul Master who were eating sausages to quickly replenish their strength and recover from their injuries.

Standing in front of the Mirror Shadow Beast was a man with a full beard, whose features were almost unrecognizable.

The man not only had a stubble beard, but his hair was also messy. The only thing that could be clearly seen was his pair of almond-shaped eyes.

Below the man's eye, there was a scar that stretched from the corner of his eye to his jaw, adding to his cold and murderous aura.

This man was Oscar, one of the former Shrek Seven Devils.

Oscar graduated from the Shrek Academy after participating in the finals of the Youth Soul Master Tournament in Spirit City.

Then, Oscar went to the Frozen Forest and began his training. His Soul Power also advanced to level 60. He only needed one more Soul Ring to become a Soul Emperor.

"Mirror Shadow Beast with 20,000 years of cultivation, I hope you can bring me the Soul Skill I'm looking for."

Oscar muttered to himself, then raised his hand and plunged the blade deep into the Mirror Shadow Beast's neck, taking the life of the Soul Beast.

"Xiao Ao, quickly absorb the Soul Ring. It's not safe here. We might encounter even more powerful Soul Beast at any time."

The one who spoke was a man in his fifties with gray hair.

The man's name was Hao Te, a level 76 Soul Saint, whose strength far surpassed that of any other member of the Soul Master team, and who was also the team's captain.

Hao Te was positioned closest to Oscar, and was the only person Oscar could trust in the Soul Master team.

Sitting cross-legged in front of the Mirror Shadow Beast, Oscar began absorbing the Soul Ring.

Soon, the Soul Ring was fully absorbed, and Oscar officially became a Soul Emperor.

For Oscar to become a Soul Emperor at his age is an astonishing achievement.

However, Oscar was not happy at all.

Ning Rongrong, with Zhou Chen's help, has already become Soul Saint!

Oscar felt a pang of pain at the thought.

"Call..."

Oscar let out a long sigh and slowly opened his eyes, a hint of jealousy flashing in them.

Just then, Oscar suddenly noticed a faint glow emanating from the head of the recently deceased Mirror Shadow Beast.

Oscar immediately realized what was going on.

If a dead Soul Beast exhibits a phenomenon of radiating light from within, there is essentially only one possibility.

That spot contains a piece of Soul Bone.

Although he longed for it, Oscar didn't rush to dig out the Soul Bone.

Because Soul Bone are extremely important to Soul Master.

Any Soul Bone is priceless. Many titled Douluo above level 90 do not have Soul Bone, which shows how precious Soul Bone are.

Few people can remain unmoved when faced with Soul Bone.
