New Martial Soul: Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment

"Brother Lang Lei, where is this?" Griseo looked around and tilted her head.

Character: Griseo

Gender: Female

Martial Soul: Brush of Stars (Soul Rings: Gold Gold Gold Gold Gold Gold Gold Gold Gold)

Level: Beyond this plane's measurable range

Lang Lei found Griseo's strength perfectly normal; it did not affect how much he adored her.

"Little Griseo, this is the Star Dou Great Forest—a different world!" Lang Lei looked at Griseo, who was exactly as tall as him, and felt a little strange.

He had nearly forgotten that this body of his was only seven years old.

"I see. Then wherever Brother Lang Lei is, I'll be there too." Griseo nodded.

"Griseo is such a good girl~ Wait here for Brother for a little while, okay~" Lang Lei was gradually losing his mind from hearing "Brother Lang Lei" over and over, completely overlooking the fact that Griseo's physical age was actually much older than his.

"Aetheria, I remember there were rewards besides Draw Chances in the novice mission rewards, right?" Lang Lei called out to Aetheria, who was curiously circling Griseo.

"Yes! There were also Body Strengthening Count, a Martial Soul Slot, and an Adaptive Soul Ring!" Aetheria stopped.

"Pull up their information as well!" He roughly knew what they did, but wanted to confirm it.

Item: Body Strengthening Count ×1

Effect: Just as the name implies, it strengthens physical constitution, raising the host's physical qualities by a major stage.

Description: You've been strengthened. You can do it again—get in there!

Item: Martial Soul Slot ×1

Effect: Just as the name implies, it gives you a chance to become a wielder of Twin Martial Souls. At the same time, your physical constitution will receive a minor boost. A friendly reminder: the Second Martial Soul is randomly drawn. Good luck!

Description: Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river—changing your fate against the heavens begins now!

Item: Adaptive Soul Ring ×1

Effect: Provides the Soul Ring most suitable for you, with no upper limit on age. As long as the host's physical constitution can withstand it, even a ten-million-year Soul Ring can be arranged!

Description: You skinny mutt, can you even handle it~

"..."

"Aetheria..."

"Hm? What is it, Master?"

"Promise me you'll never learn from those unscrupulous systems!" Lang Lei said seriously, staring intensely at Aetheria.

"O-Okay!"

Griseo looked at Lang Lei, then at Aetheria.

"Aetheria is a lot like little sister Elysia..."

"..." Lang Lei froze for a moment before realizing that this was probably one of Elysia's old pranks.

"Little Griseo, when you meet Elysia in the future, you can try calling her Auntie Elysia~" Lang Lei said mischievously.

"Huh? Like Auntie Mobius?"

"Mm!" Lang Lei nodded with satisfaction.

Griseo lowered her head thoughtfully.

"Little Griseo, Brother has something to do now. Don't let anyone disturb Brother, okay?" Lang Lei instructed before preparing to get down to business.

"Aetheria, use the Martial Soul Slot."

"Ding. Used. Randomly drawing Martial Soul..."

"Draw complete. Second Martial Soul, Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment, has been granted."

Martial Soul: Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment

Description: Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment was forged from the Herrscher Core of the Herrscher of Flame, the Seventh Herrscher of a certain civilization era. This weapon normally takes the form of dual pistols, rules over the power of "flame," and possesses the greatest destructive force.

It also possesses three fixed innate skills:

Zero Rated Power—Heavenly Fire Unsheathed: Using this ability consumes all Soul Power stored within the Martial Soul and requires one day to recover. The host may replenish it by pouring in their own Soul Power. The power of this innate skill depends on the host's level.

Limit Release—Heavenly Fire Calamity Annihilation (Insufficient Soul Power): When the Heavenly Fire Greatsword has charged beyond 150%, and one abandons emotion to become one with the sword, the Heavenly Fire Greatsword will respond to the user and transform into an altered form. The blade undergoes immense changes, while its flames shift from orange-yellow to blood-red. Like the incarnation of the God of Destruction descending upon the world, only the light unleashed when a star dies can contend with it. This is the origin of the meaning behind "Calamity Annihilation." Only a body surpassing mortals can bear this endless power of destruction. In the Heavenly Fire Calamity Annihilation state, Heavenly Fire Unsheathed is more than three times as powerful as normal. At present, the flames and light unleashed by this skill can devour and illuminate the entire Douluo Continent. The host currently possesses insufficient Soul Power and cannot activate this skill.

Overlimit State—Calamity Annihilation Without End (Martial Soul incomplete; cannot be used): This skill is the ultimate form that Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment can embody. At present, only one person can wield it. When used, a full-force strike in the Calamity Annihilation Without End state unleashed flames that devoured half a planet, causing the Herrscher of Finality, who had lost 30% of her Honkai Energy, to cease activity. As though it would brand its own blazing fire upon countless stars, the greatsword displayed its supreme destructive power. Giant flames devoured the heavens; the souls that fell beneath this blade did not leave even ashes behind.

This was—the Sword That Transcends Finality.

Note: As Soul Rings are bestowed upon this Martial Soul, its ultimate form will gradually be released. The skill of each Soul Ring is fixed as a percentage increase in attack power.

Furthermore, this Martial Soul acquires Soul Rings in a very special way, so don't be too surprised, Host~

"!!!"

"Holy..." Lang Lei was stunned. He felt like he could now go toe-to-toe with those false gods in the Divine Realm...

Of course, that was a joke. He figured that after using a single skill, Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment would drain him dry...

Heavenly Fire Self-Judgment—the title Pure Love Greatsword was no empty boast.

At the same time, Lang Lei felt his body, which had already been percentage-enhanced by the Lightning Element God's Eye, grow a little stronger. It seemed to have gone from the physical constitution of an early-stage Soul Ancestor to that of a late-stage one...

As for the specifics, he would have to absorb a Soul Ring and test it out.

But before that...

"Aetheria, use the Body Strengthening Count!"

"Certainly, dear Master."

A warm current began flowing through every limb and bone in Lang Lei's body. Rather than the pain he had imagined, it felt exceptionally pleasant.

Without him noticing, Lang Lei's physical constitution began improving at an astonishing rate.

Lang Lei was not sure exactly how much it had improved, but he would find out soon enough...

At that moment, Lang Lei very much wanted to throw his head back and howl at the sky, but with Griseo watching nearby, it would not be appropriate for him to have an episode—no, to vent.

"Aetheria, use the Adaptive Soul Ring!" Lang Lei sat cross-legged on the ground.

"Okay, Master, get ready~"

"Mm!"

The moment Lang Lei finished speaking, a white Soul Ring settled around him and pulsed up and down, its color gradually beginning to change.

Griseo watched Lang Lei before a paintbrush appeared in her hand. After closing her eyes to think for a moment, she casually waved it a few times, and several colorful upright humanoid World-Painting Creations appeared.

If anyone had passed through this place, they would certainly have sensed that every one of those creations radiated the pressure of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

"This should be enough..." Griseo nodded. "Everyone, make sure to protect Brother Lang Lei!"

The creations nodded and surrounded Lang Lei.
