Fire Attribute Divine Skill: Flames Burning the Sky

Purple lightning descended.

Landslide and Earth Crack, the earth trembled and the mountains shook.

Everyone in Spirit City was alarmed. Whether commoners or Soul Masters, they all rushed into the streets, staring toward the Spirit Hunting Mountain Range north of the city in lingering terror.

What terrifying lightning power.

Fortunately, that bolt had not struck Spirit City. Otherwise, Spirit City might already have been gone.

Watching the purple lightning tear open the heavens,

Bibi Dong swallowed hard and forced herself to calm down.

"Was that a soul skill? Or heavenly punishment? It seemed to be in the Spirit Hunting Mountain Range."

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan gulped uncontrollably, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked toward the gray, hazy sky over the northern mountains after the lightning explosion. He subconsciously asked, "His Holiness the Pope, should we go take a look?"

"You remain behind to guard Spirit Hall. I'll go take a look myself."

Steadying herself, Bibi Dong took a deep breath, transformed into a streak of light, and vanished from Spirit Hall.

Spirit Hunting Mountain Range.

Purple energy surged around Chen Changfeng, while the dust blasted up around him could not come within half an inch of his body.

This divine skill was way too fierce.

It seemed his understanding of divine skills had still been far too shallow.

Still, it was fortunate that he had control over the Source of Destruction, allowing him to draw away seventy percent of its power the instant the lightning descended. Otherwise, the aftershock would likely have spread across the entire mountain range. Even Spirit City would not have been spared.

Looking at the thousand-meter-wide crater and desolation around him,

Chen Changfeng could not help but sigh inwardly. Had the Ghost Face Pig section already vanished from the Spirit Hunting Mountain Range map?

This was true destruction.

Even though the divine skill had ended,

Chen Changfeng still could not help but marvel.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing your first destruction. You killed 2,567 Ghost Face Pigs. Reward: Soul Power increased by five levels."

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for killing 73 Mutated Ghost Face Pigs. Reward: Soul Power increased by two levels."

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for killing several Plant-type Soul Beasts. Reward: Soul Power increased by three levels."

"Congratulations, Host, your Soul Power has advanced. Reward: one Destruction Soul Ring, with the attached skill Flame Attack. Congratulations, Host—"

"."

"Flame Attack has been guided by the Source of Destruction and automatically evolved into the fire-attribute divine skill—Flames Burning the Sky."

Chen Changfeng: ???

What was this?

He had finally been rewarded with a somewhat normal skill, and it had turned into a divine skill again?

Where was Flame Attack?

I wanted to learn a normal skill!

Would I have to unleash a divine skill right from the start whenever I fought someone in the future? Wouldn't that be a little disrespectful to my opponent?

What if one wave of divine skills failed to finish them off?

Then I'd just follow it up with another wave of divine skills!

"Ding! Because the lifeforms destroyed by the Host were too low-level, you cannot obtain Soul Rings or soul skill upgrades."

"Organizing system panel."

Flames Burning the Sky: Active divine skill. A fire-attribute divine skill. Divine flames descend, burning the heavens and burying the earth.

There was no detailed description of the soul skill, only another short sentence brimming with grandeur.

Having just unleashed Annihilation Thunder, Chen Changfeng did not dare doubt the power of Flames Burning the Sky in the slightest.

Meanwhile.

At the entrance to the Spirit Hunting Mountain Range.

Hu Liena, Yan, Xie Yue, the teachers, and the Spirit Hall soldiers who had survived the disaster all stood in stunned silence. The lightning's aftershock seemed to have been controlled, deliberately avoiding them.

Only then did everyone come to their senses and begin searching for Chen Changfeng.

However, all they saw was a lightning crater stretching several thousand meters before them. Everything in the distance was gray and hazy, impossible to see clearly.

It was fortunate they had run fast. Otherwise, they really would have been done for.

Everything felt like a dream.

How could a Healing Type Soul Master with Level One Innate Soul Power possibly unleash an attack at the level of a Titled Douluo?

What they did not know was that the lightning just now had not been an attack at the Titled Douluo level. It had been a genuine divine skill. Moreover, this divine skill was not restricted by Soul Power at all, but depended entirely on Chen Changfeng's will.

"H-Heavens, that guy was terrifying." Hu Liena opened her pale lips, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief, and also shimmering with starlight.

Xie Yue was still shaken, his face frozen in astonishment. "He really... was too strong!"

"Nana!"

A simp's instincts were sharp. Seeing Hu Liena's reaction, Yan immediately felt unbalanced. "Fake. It was all fake. That brat might already have been struck dead."

High in the sky, a streak of rainbow light tore through the air.

It was none other than Pope Bibi Dong.

"His Holiness the Pope!"

Seeing Bibi Dong arrive in person, the leading teacher from Spirit Academy led everyone in dropping to one knee.

The Pope of Spirit Hall.

Her status in their hearts was supreme. It was no exaggeration to say she was equivalent to an empire's emperor.

Seeing that the teachers and students of Spirit Academy were unharmed, Bibi Dong temporarily relaxed.

Her powerful Soul Power burst outward, instantly scattering the gray mist filling the sky.

When she saw that the Ghost Face Pig Mountain Range had become nothing but wasteland, she froze for several seconds. The mountain range, once lush and verdant, was now completely bare. Not to mention Soul Beasts—even the vegetation had turned charred black.

It seemed the Ghost Face Pig Mountain Range would no longer be able to provide trials for new students in the future.

Hiss—

Sharp intakes of breath rose from the crowd.

Nearly all the teachers and students felt their scalps go numb at the sight before them.

T-This was too terrifying, wasn't it?

Was that guy a monster?

After a long while, amid the deathly silence, Bibi Dong took a deep breath and asked, "What happened?"

The teachers and students looked at one another, but no one dared report anything, mainly because they feared offending the Pope's authority.

In the end, the leading teacher gathered his courage and nervously gave a brief account of the entire incident. That unstoppable bolt of lightning had come from the young man who had been the last to awaken a scepter Martial Soul at the academy.

However, aside from the wreckage covering the ground, there was no trace of the young man anymore.

Just as Yan had guessed.

He might have been struck dead by the lightning.

"His Holiness the Pope, that was what happened."

The leading teacher from Spirit Academy explained nervously, "In this subordinate's understanding, that young man must have been pressured by the death of the Ghost Face Pigs, causing his Martial Soul to forcibly mutate and evolve into a powerful Annihilation Attribute."

"And that bolt of lightning just now was more like a heavenly tribulation. After all, a Soul Master with merely Level One Soul Power had no ability to unleash such a powerful soul skill."

"This subordinate guesses that lightning descended for the sake of destruction."

"It was either to destroy that young man or to destroy that mutated Martial Soul."

"His Holiness the Pope."

Mm.

Reasonable.

Bibi Dong nodded after hearing this.

Indeed, how could a Soul Master who had awakened with Level One Soul Power possibly unleash a soul skill that made even her heart palpitate?

The Spirit Academy teacher's explanation was not without reason.

That bolt of lightning was very likely divine punishment. After all, she was someone close to that level, and she knew in her heart that gods existed in Douluo Continent.

But what kind of Martial Soul would cause the God Realm to rush to destroy it the moment it awakened?

Once again gazing at the Ghost Face Pig mountains, Razed to the Ground, Bibi Dong felt a trace of regret rise within her.

If that young man had not died, he would surely have become an unparalleled genius of Douluo Continent in the future, as well as Spirit Hall's strongest powerhouse.

What a pity!

What a shame!
