The effect of Passing the Torch was easy to understand—pass on the flame and grant someone else the [Firebearer] identity. That was all.
Was it powerful? Absolutely, outrageously so.
According to Yang Huo, no skill existed in this world that could grant an identity at almost no cost, without requiring the recipient to join a specific faction.

Strictly speaking, there were only three ways to obtain an identity in Miracle World.

Without a special flame, a Firebearer was actually worse in combat than someone with an ordinary white identity.
But with one, everything changed.
Take Yang Chai at this moment. Although he had less than a few minutes left to live, an ordinary third-level Transcendent would likely be no match for him before he died.
"It needs a fire seed—is a little issue like that even a problem?"

Besides Corpse-Born Pure Fire, which could reach straight up to the Seventh Realm, if Zhou Kai spent a little time recalling the agony of being burned by [Sin-Burning Fire], he might even be able to recreate that flame directly with miracle particles.
That flame should also be somewhere between the Fifth and Sixth Realms.
