Burning Skyline! The Terrifying Phenomenon of a Tier 7 Spell!

The ranks of all Class Users on Blue Star were strictly hierarchical.

Take mages, for example.

First Turn was the rank Lin Yi currently held.

It only meant one had taken the first tentative step onto the path of magic.

Class Users of this kind were generally called Beginner Mages or Mage Apprentices.

Second Turn and Third Turn corresponded to intermediate and advanced titles.

Starting from Fourth Turn, the class rank held by powerful individuals like Jiang Xian was known as Great Mage.

Fifth Turn was Archmage, while Sixth Turn was Grand Archmage.

Above Seventh Turn were Saint Archmages, also known as Sage Mages.

In short, once any class reached Seventh Turn, they could be called Saints.

As for higher ranks, sorry, even Jiang Xian did not know of them, understand them, or had ever heard of them.

That was already beyond a level he could come into contact with.

Wang Dahai asked nervously, "Then, Elder Jiang... are you saying that a Sixth-Turn Great Magus has arrived in Jiangcheng?"

One of the requirements for changing classes was having at least one skill reach the corresponding rank.

So generally speaking, powerful individuals capable of using skills of a matching rank would have class advancement ranks that roughly matched as well.

There were cases of low-rank Class Users possessing high-tier skills, but they were exceedingly rare.

Therefore, seeing the Tier 6 spell Molten Flame Demon was enough to infer this conclusion.

Jiang Xian nodded. "Several decades ago, I was fortunate enough to visit the Pantheon, Blue Star's highest mage Professional Guild, for further studies."

"My mentor at the time was a Sixth-Turn Grand Archmage."

"That was also when I saw my teacher summon such a Fire Demon from the Fire Element Plane to descend upon this plane."

"A spell of this caliber requires extraordinarily terrifying mana affinity techniques. It is also a skill I have longed to learn all my life, but sadly, I likely will never have the chance..."

A trace of regret appeared on Jiang Xian's face.

He also quietly made up his mind, wondering whether he should find a way to meet this great senior later.

If he was fortunate enough to receive a word or two of guidance from this senior, it would be an immense honor!

"Alright, I should lead my troops back to camp first. This was all a misunderstanding. I hope that senior will not hold a grudge against us."

Wei Xing prepared to leave, while Wang Dahai secretly glanced at Jiang Xian.

He actually wanted to meet the legendary Grand Archmage too.

However, just as each of them was making their own plans, an incomparably vast and terrifying wave of mana surged from the depths of Howling Forest!

As a mage, Jiang Xian was naturally the most sensitive to mana fluctuations.

Almost the very instant after he sensed that wave of mana.

His expression changed drastically, and sweat poured down like rain!

Because he sensed an aura of Fire Element even more terrifying than the Molten Flame Demon rapidly gathering in the sky above their region!

Jiang Xian suddenly looked up at the horizon.

It was already nearing nightfall.

The setting sun had just sunk beyond West Mountain.

The sky had gradually begun to darken.

Yet at this moment, the horizon above seemed to reignite from dead ashes, once again edged with a brilliant golden glow!

Then, the entire sky began to turn red!

The Class Users who had yet to retreat also noticed this abnormal celestial phenomenon and cried out in alarm!

"Look at the sky!"

"Didn't the sun just set? Why is the sky turning red again?!"

"So hot... Don't you feel it? The temperature has risen several degrees from before!"

"Y-you... look over there! What is that?!"

"Holy shit...! That's... that's a dragon, right?!"

At that moment, countless orange-red rays gathered along the blazing horizon, gradually condensing into a terrifying giant dragon with a wingspan of several hundred meters!

The giant dragon was composed entirely of the purest Fire Element, appearing immense and sacred.

It also radiated an incomparably terrifying pressure.

Just one glance from the Class Users below made their legs tremble!

Once the giant dragon fully took shape, the temperature throughout Qingfeng Grassland and Howling Forest rose another seven or eight degrees!

Everyone was parched from the heat!

"Run!"

"Notify everyone! Retreat immediately!!"

"Otherwise, we'll all die!"

"This is... a Tier 7 Spell!"

Jiang Xian forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart. His final shred of reason made him hurriedly notify the two people beside him.

Wang Dahai heard this.

His mind boomed, instantly turning completely blank!

Huh?

A Tier 7 Spell?!

That meant the senior currently within Howling Forest.

Was not a Grand Archmage.

But a Seventh-Turn Sage!!

"Retreat!!"

"Retreat now!!!"

Wei Xing reacted swiftly and immediately shouted for his subordinates to retreat.

At the same time.

All Class Users leveling within several hundred kilometers around Qingfeng Grassland received another warning notification!

[Warning! Warning!]

[Jiangcheng Base City regional alert!]

[Tier 7 spell fluctuations detected in the outskirts of Jiangcheng Base City. All Class Users within the area, seek shelter immediately and enter the nearest underground air-raid shelter!]

[Repeat! Repeat!]

[This alert is Level One! Seek shelter immediately!]

All the Class Users in Jiangcheng were dumbfounded!

Within a single day, with not even half an hour between them.

Level Two and Level One Alerts had been issued in succession!

What was going on?

Was the world ending?

For a time, everyone was panic-stricken and began evacuating to seek shelter!

Jiang Ya looked at the blazing horizon in the sky.

As well as the terrifying Fire Element Dragon whose spread wings could blot out the heavens and cover the earth.

Her young heart suffered a tremendous shock!

Time rewound slightly.

One minute earlier.

The central region of Howling Forest.

Lin Yi was surrounded.

And he was surrounded by several hundred robust tigers.

Lin Yi had already reached the deepest part of this Leveling Zone.

He had also seen the enormous cave entrance from the rumors, which constantly spewed violent gales.

He simply had not expected this place to be the territory of a pack of Level 11 Forest Tigers.

"Roar—!!"

An incomparably terrifying roar suddenly rang out from within the cave.

The next moment, Lin Yi saw a Tiger King over four to five meters long emerge from the cave with measured steps. Its striped body glimmered with an emerald-green radiance, making it look incomparably imposing and extraordinary!

Thud!

Thud!

Every step it took was exceptionally heavy.

Its weight was probably measured in tons!

Lin Yi's eyes lit up.

It seemed this was the strongest monster in all of Howling Forest!

And it was definitely a BOSS!

Unfortunately, he had not learned the Identification Skill, so he did not yet know the name of this BOSS.

"Whoosh!!"

Lin Yi only felt his vision blur. The next moment, he saw the Tiger King swing its right claw sharply.

More than a dozen incomparably sharp Wind Blades instantly struck him at tremendous speed!

The Lava Shield around Lin Yi instantly dropped by over a thousand points!

Good lord, what powerful attack strength!

And this BOSS could actually use Wind Blade spells too!

Judging from those emerald-green tiger stripes on its body, it likely lived year-round in this cave dense with Wind Element, and its body had probably been altered to some degree.

A trace of remarkably human-like shock appeared in the Tiger King's eyes.

It was deeply wary of the enormous monster beside that human.

But it had not taken the human seriously.

In its view, a few Wind Blades should have directly torn this human apart!

A faint smile curled across Lin Yi's lips.

"Not bad. I've finally found one with some strength."

"Then I'll use you to test my new spell!"
