Lin Yi did not immediately check the effects of this new skill.
Instead, he glanced at how many Skill Points it would take to raise Fire Spirit Incarnation, this Tier 8 skill, by one more tier.
[Tier 9 Forbidden Spell: Eight Desolations Heavenly Meteor] [Skill Points Required for Advancement: 1,000,000!]
Hiss...!
It had doubled again!
One million Skill Points was terrifying.
Even for him, without factoring in paid acceleration, he would need to idle for nearly twelve days to obtain that much.
But Tier 9 meant a Forbidden Spell!
The small goal he had set for himself before was actually already within reach.
At worst, he could just wait it out for twelve days and gather one million Skill Points.
Then, Lin Yi opened his skill menu.
He checked the new skill he had 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 the Fire Element has reached perfection. You may choose to merge with the Fire Element between heaven and earth, entering the Fire Spirit Sublimation state.] [Fire Spirit Sublimation: You are immune to all physical damage and all fire damage, and gain the ability to fly.] [While in this state, when casting Fire Element skills, your critical hit chance increases by 100%, Critical Damage increases by 100%, and you ignore 50% of the target's Magic Resistance.] [While in this state, when casting Fire Element skills, all spells requiring chanting become instant, and no longer consume Mana.] [The Ascension State lasts for 3 minutes. During this time, you may freely command all Fire Elements within an immense area, raising the temperature to one million degrees Celsius in an extremely short time and triggering a terrifying explosion that deals massive fire damage.] [Note: I am the blazing flame!]
When Lin Yi had first seen Fire Spirit Incarnation,
he had guessed that it might be a state-type skill.
Something like a Kamen Rider transformation.
As it turned out, he had been almost entirely right.
The description and effects of this Tier 8 fire skill had become a whole essay.
After reading it, Lin Yi could only call it insane in his heart!
This skill was way too overpowered!
It was actually a relatively rare composite skill.
For one thing, it could deal damage.
In the Ascension State, he could trigger a super explosion.
And both its range and damage were likely even more outrageous than Heavenly Flame Dragon's Breath.
At the same time, it would grant him a state.
This state would directly transform Lin Yi from a human body of flesh and blood into a pure Fire Element life-form.
In this state, every Fire Element spell would definitely crit, deal increased damage, cast instantly, and consume no Mana!
Bad news: this skill was a patchwork monstrosity.
Good news: it had been stitched together perfectly!
Lin Yi immediately decided to test it out in this Dungeon.
Fire Spirit Incarnation, Supreme Ascension required no chanting and consumed no Mana.
With a single thought from Lin Yi,
he saw a cluster of deep blue flame ignite at his fingertips.
The traits of human fingers—nails, bones, flesh, and blood—rapidly vanished.
Then the blue flames spread. In the blink of an eye, Lin Yi realized that both his hands had begun to burn fiercely.
The experience of transforming from flesh and blood into pure Fire Element was extremely subtle.
Not only was there no pain, it instead gave Lin Yi an immense sense of novelty.
Lin Yi's ascension speed exceeded his imagination.
Almost instantly, Lin Yi felt that he had completed the transformation of his life-form.
He was no longer a carbon-based life-form, but an elemental life-form.
He had even become the blazing flame itself!
Lin Yi could still feel his hands and feet.
But they could extend infinitely and stretch at will.
Furthermore, he could no longer feel the restraints of gravity anywhere on his body. Lin Yi was as light as air.
At the same time, the place where Lin Yi had originally stood began to vanish, leaving no trace behind.
It turned out that once the temperature became high enough,
all matter in the real world could perhaps skip even the stage of melting.
Instead, it would be directly vaporized and annihilated!
The countless Shadow Demons drawn over by the Molten Flame Demon earlier were perhaps simply too close to Lin Yi.
They could not even let out a wail.
They were instantly vaporized.
In the blink of an eye, a vacuum zone more than ten meters wide appeared around Lin Yi.
Lin Yi's face and other features disappeared within the blue flames.
If anyone had been there to witness this scene,
they would probably have trembled all over in terror.
Lin Yi, ascended into his Fire Spirit state, was still the size of an ordinary human.
But the sense of oppression he gave off was already terrifying!
The moment Lin Yi completed Supreme Ascension,
the next instant, every Shadow Demon and Shadow Monster across Feiliekain, the entire City of Passing Light, grew restless.
Because the temperature was suddenly rising!
Then Lin Yi flew into the sky.
The flight ability granted by the Fire Spirit state was no slower than Wings of Gale, perhaps even faster.
Lin Yi flew high into the air and looked down over all of Feiliekain.
He had not expected the scale and map size of this Dungeon to be far larger than he had anticipated.
Feiliekain was nearly five or six times the size of Jiangcheng Base City.
Moreover, with the help of the [All-Knowing Eye], Lin Yi discovered a detail that other Class Users might not even be able to know!
Amid Feiliekain's countless crumbling ruins, tiny clusters of light had actually appeared.
Above every light cluster was the name and level of a Class User.
If Lin Yi looked closely, he could obtain even more information.
The larger the light cluster, the stronger the corresponding Class User.
Lin Yi saw two or three somewhat larger light clusters gathered together, with dozens of smaller light clusters following beside them.
Finally, in a corner to the south of Feiliekain, there was another similarly large light cluster. However, it was no longer moving, and its aura seemed to be gradually weakening, as though it had suffered severe injuries.
Well then, this Dungeon was actually a public Dungeon!
In other words, all the Class Users who entered the Dungeon had been distributed across every corner of the City of Passing Light, making the odds of encountering one another very low.
But it was definitely not impossible!
Feiliekain, central city.
There, fifty or sixty people were gathered together, fighting against Shadow Demon monsters surging toward them like a tide.
"We're still four or five people short. I just asked through Sky Comms—they were teleported somewhere remote and can't make it over for now. They'll find shelter on their own."
"Let's hurry to the Central Royal Court!"
"Everyone, keep up! Don't fall behind!"
Several Class Users wearing Tianshui Academy instructor uniforms, all of whom had reached their Third Turn, gave instructions to the other students while killing monsters.
"Phew! Phew! Phew!"
"Do you feel like it's getting hotter...?"
"I was just about to say that. This place was freezing before, but now I'm drenched in sweat after taking only a few steps!"
"I can't take it anymore. It's too hot—I can't walk!"
Only a few seconds later,
everyone felt that even the air entering their lungs was scorching hot.
The skin all over their bodies felt as though it had been exposed beneath the blazing sun, painfully seared by the heat.
"My god...! Quick, look at the sky!"
"What is that!"
