Shatter the Darkness with Blazing Flames! Ignite the Sun in the City of Passing Light!

Lin Yi didn't immediately check the effects of this new skill.

Instead, he glanced at how many Skill Points it would take to upgrade the Tier 8 skill, Fire Spirit Incarnation, to the next tier.

[Tier 9 Forbidden Spell: Eight Desolations Heavenly Meteor]

[Advancement Requirement: 1,000,000 Skill Points!]

Hiss...!

It doubled again!

A million Skill Points—that was terrifying.

Even for him, without considering spending money to speed things up, he'd need to idle for nearly twelve days to earn that much.

But Tier 9 meant it was a Forbidden Spell!

The small goal he'd set for himself earlier was actually pretty close now.

At worst, he'd just wait out the twelve days and scrape together the million Skill Points.

After that, Lin Yi opened his skill menu.

He took a look at the new skill he'd just obtained.

[Supreme Ascension, Fire Spirit Incarnation]

[Type: Active Skill]

[Tier: Tier 8]

[Element: Fire Element]

[Cost: None]

[Chant Time: Instant]

[Cooldown Time: 3 Days]

[Active Effect: Your understanding of fire elements has reached perfection. You may choose to merge with the fire elements of heaven and earth, entering the Fire Spirit Sublimation State.]

[Fire Spirit Sublimation: You become immune to all physical damage, immune to all fire-attribute damage, and gain the ability to fly.]

[In this state, when you cast Fire Element skills, your Critical Hit Rate increases by 100%, Critical Damage increases by 100%, and you ignore 50% of the target's Magic Resistance.]

[In this state, when you cast Fire Element skills, all spells requiring a chant become instant, and they no longer consume Mana.]

[The Ascension State lasts for 3 minutes. During this time, you can freely mobilize all fire elements within a Large Area at any moment, amplifying the temperature to millions of degrees Celsius in an extremely short time, triggering a devastating explosion that deals massive fire damage.]

[Note: I am the flame!]

When Lin Yi first saw Fire Spirit Incarnation, he'd guessed it might be a buff-type skill.

Something like a Kamen Rider transformation.

As it turned out, his guess was pretty much on the mark.

The description and effects of this Tier 8 Fire Element skill read like a short essay.

After reading through it, Lin Yi couldn't help but call it insane in his head!

This skill was way too broken!

It turned out to be a relatively rare composite skill.

On one hand, the skill also dealt damage.

In the Ascension State, he could trigger a massive explosion.

And he estimated the explosion's range and damage would be even more ridiculous than Heavenly Flame Dragon's Breath.

At the same time, it granted him a buff.

This buff directly allowed Lin Yi to transform and ascend from a mortal body of flesh and blood into a Pure Fire Element lifeform.

In this state, all Fire Element spells would crit guaranteed, deal bonus damage, be instant-cast, and cost no Mana!

Bad news: This skill was a patchwork.

Good news: Everything worth patching was patched in!

Lin Yi immediately decided to test it out in this dungeon.

Fire Spirit Incarnation, Supreme Ascension required no chant and consumed no Mana.

With just a thought, Lin Yi saw a wisp of Deep Blue flame ignite at his fingertips.

The human characteristics of his fingers—nails, bones, flesh—vanished at breakneck speed.

Then, the blue fire spread. In the blink of an eye, Lin Yi found both his hands blazing fiercely.

This experience of transforming from flesh and blood into pure fire elements was incredibly subtle.

Not only was there no pain, but it also brought Lin Yi a tremendous sense of novelty.

Lin Yi's ascension speed exceeded his imagination.

In an instant, he felt he had completed the transformation of his life type.

He was no longer carbon-based life, but had become elemental life.

Even more, he had become the flame itself!

Lin Yi could still feel his hands and feet.

But they could extend infinitely, stretch at will.

And all over his body, he no longer felt the restraint of gravity; Lin Yi was as light and agile as air itself.

At the same time, the spot where Lin Yi had originally stood began to annihilate and vanish, leaving no trace behind.

It turned out that when the temperature reached a certain level.

All matter in the real world might even skip the step of melting.

Instead, it was directly vaporized, annihilated!

The countless Shadow Demons that had been drawn in by the Molten Flame Demon earlier were perhaps too close to Lin Yi.

They couldn't even let out a wail.

Before they were instantly evaporated.

In the blink of an eye, a vacuum zone over ten meters wide appeared around Lin Yi.

Lin Yi's face and other features disappeared into the blue flames.

If anyone had been here to witness this scene, they would probably be trembling all over with Zhan Li.

Lin Yi, ascended into the fire spirit state, was still the size of a normal human.

But the Sense of Oppression was already terrifying!

The moment Lin Yi completed his Supreme Ascension.

The next second, all the Shadow Demons and Shadow Monsters in the entire City of Fading Light, Feiliekain, became restless.

Because the temperature was suddenly rising!

Then, Lin Yi flew up into the sky.

The flight ability granted by the fire spirit state was no slower than the Wings of Gale, and even surpassed it.

Lin Yi flew high into the sky, overlooking all of Feiliekain.

He hadn't expected the scale and map size of this instance to be far larger than he had estimated.

The entire Feiliekain was about five or six times the size of Jiangcheng Base City.

And with the help of the [All-Knowing Eye], Lin Yi discovered a detail that other Class Users might not be able to perceive!

At this moment, among the countless ruins of Feiliekain, small specks of light had appeared.

Above these light clusters were written the names and levels of Class Users.

If Lin Yi looked closely, he could get even more information.

The larger the light cluster, the stronger the corresponding Class User.

Lin Yi saw two or three larger light clusters gathered together, accompanied by dozens of smaller ones.

Finally, in the southern corner of Feiliekain, there was another similarly large light cluster, but it was no longer moving, and its aura seemed to be gradually fading, as if it were severely injured.

Well, well—so this instance was a public instance!

That meant all the Class Users who entered the instance were actually scattered across every corner of the City of Fading Light, with a very low chance of running into each other.

But that didn't mean it was impossible!

Feiliekain, Central City.

There were fifty or sixty people here, fighting in groups against the tide of Shadow Demon monsters.

"Our people are still missing four or five. I just checked through Sky Comms—they were probably teleported to some remote place and can't make it here for now. They'll find their own shelter."

"Let's hurry to the Central Royal Court!"

"Everyone, keep up, don't fall behind!"

Several Class Users wearing the uniforms of Tianshui Academy teachers, who had also reached the Third Turn, were killing monsters while giving orders to the other students.

"Huff! Huff! Huff!"

"Are you guys feeling it getting hotter..."

"I was about to say that too. This place was freezing cold before, and now I'm sweating after just a few steps!"

"I can't take it anymore, it's too hot, I can't keep going!"

Just a few seconds later.

Everyone felt that the air entering their lungs with each breath was scorching hot.

Their skin all over felt like it was exposed to the blazing sun, burning painfully.

"My god...! Look up in the sky!"

"What is that!"
