Divine Calamity Transformation! Nanook, I Bring You Destruction!

[And so, Phainon inherited all the Flame Reaver's painful memories and Core Flames. He understood his mission, and became Khaslana.]

[Unlike Phainon in his ordinary state, or the Flame Reaver clad entirely in black.]

[The true Khaslana shone in the sky like the sun.]

[His hair was golden, his golden Twin Pupils blazed like the sun, and a solar halo hung behind him alongside a flamboyant pair of blue-and-gold wings.]

[Hundreds of millions of Core Flames burned through Khaslana's body.]

[His upper body was already broken, and what looked like golden markings were Core Flames flowing through him.]

[Even so, he hung high in the heavens like a blazing sun, illuminating everyone.]

???

Everyone on Douluo Continent was struck speechless by Phainon's transformation.

Their minds went blank.

Holy shit!

He was too damn cool! Too damn incredible!

He looked like a sun god descending to earth!

That shattered body and flowing golden blood looked utterly divine!

Countless Soul Masters thought, If I could transform like that just once, I'd gladly die for it!

Some female Soul Masters couldn't even tear their eyes from the Sky Curtain!

Are we really allowed to see this?

From now on, I'm finding a man like Phainon!

If I can't, I'm never getting married!

Heaven Dou City.

Deep within the palace.

Emperor Xue Ye sat on his throne, beside himself with joy.

"Good, good, good! This visitor from beyond the heavens is actually this powerful!"

"Qinghe befriending him was a brilliant move!"

At first, he had strongly disapproved of Xue Qinghe lowering his status to associate with Phainon.

Why bother currying favor with someone who sold clothes?

Now it seemed his own judgment fell short of the crown prince's!

Xue Ye even began to fantasize:

With Phainon's support in the future, could my Heaven Dou Empire rule the entire continent?

We could even surpass Spirit Hall!

Then the name Xue Ye would be celebrated for ten thousand generations!

Wouldn't that be glorious?

Outside Phainon's Clothing Store.

Every Soul Master surrounding Phainon's Clothing Store, and even some ordinary people, had gone wild!

They chanted fervently:

"Khaslana!"

"Khaslana!"

After more than thirty million cycles of gathering strength, he had finally shown his edge!

And his transformation looked that cool!

Anyone with blood in their veins would have been thrilled.

What excited them most was that Phainon, as terrifying as a god descended to earth, was right there among them.

"Hahaha! I bought clothes made by Lord Phainon! From today on, they're family heirlooms!"

What? They had said they wanted a refund?

Not a chance!

Even the ugliest clothes would rise in price now!

Inside Phainon's Clothing Store.

Qian Renxue couldn't help exclaiming in shock:

"More than thirty million times! Even if your soul were made of gold, it couldn't withstand that."

Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao stared at Phainon as though he were a monster.

Wang Dong recalled agreeing to duel Phainon at the start.

She had even thought he might be an easy target.

Still dazed, she said, "So when you dueled me back then, you were holding back an entire ocean?"

Phainon smiled. "You could put it that way!"

But he thought, Holding back an ocean? This was much harder than that.

After all, he had to control his strength well enough to defeat Wang Dong without turning her to ash!

It had taken some finesse.

Harder than killing a god.

Not an Aeon, of course.

At the thought of Aeons, he sighed inwardly:

My beginner's protection period was way too short. I'd barely unleashed my ultimate move before I got beaten up!

And the lines coming next...

The Sky Curtain refreshed at random.

[BGM: Solar Flare]

[This time, Khaslana did not intend to enter another cycle.]

[He entrusted the task of saving the world to the Trailblazer.]

[With the Core Flames and fury accumulated over 33,550,336 cycles, he broke through the singularity of intelligence that bound him as Simulation data and challenged Nanook, the Aeon of Destruction.]

[Khaslana raised his sword high, his voice ringing across the sea of stars: "Nanook, I bring you destruction."]

[If fate could not be changed, then he would fight it!!]

[To face an Aeon in battle, he had endured the burning of the Core Flames through cycle after cycle. He remembered every companion's death, and their wishes became his strength in that moment.]

[He faced countless soldiers of the Destruction Legion.]

[His fighting grew wilder, his strikes broader and fiercer.]

[He killed until he was delirious!]

[He killed until he was mad!]

[His chest brimmed with rage, divine fire surging within it like golden magma.]

[But Zephyro, an Emanator of Destruction and a Lord Ravager, descended.]

[Khaslana gave everything he had to summon a meteor capable of destroying all things: Dead Star's Judgment!]

[Yet Zephyro blocked the strike and severed one of his arms and one of his wings.]

[Golden blood rained across the sky.]

[Still, Khaslana did not give up. Not a trace of retreat entered his heart; the fury within him burned more fiercely than ever.]

[Dragging his battered body, he charged again, only for Zephyro's sword to pierce his chest once more.]

At the sight, everyone on Douluo Continent held their breath.

Was Khaslana's revenge going to end here?

He could not even reach the Aeon!

Before the power of a god, was a mortal's blazing rage no more than an ant trying to shake a tree?

But then, in the next instant!

[Khaslana's broken body burst into flame!]

[If he could not win, then he would let his rage burn through his body, turn himself into blazing fuel, and become a sun that burned all things to ash!]

[He would make Nanook, the Aeon of Destruction who stood so high above them, lower his gaze and behold a mortal's fury!]

[At last, his entire body transformed into flame. He seemed to cross untold galaxies and, driven by his own fury, left a cut on the face of Nanook, the Aeon of Destruction, with a mortal body.]

[A drop of golden divine blood fell from the Aeon of Destruction.]

Everyone was stunned by what they had seen.

Phainon had finally done it!

In their eyes, he had amassed more than thirty million cycles and over three hundred million Core Flames.

At last, Phainon had unleashed Amphoreus's fury.

Yet some people who thought highly of themselves and their exceptional talents began to question it.

"More than thirty million times, and he couldn't even kill an Emanator? All he managed was a scratch on an Aeon's cheek. Was it worth it?"

"If I went through more than thirty million cycles with my memories intact, forget making a god bleed. I'd pin Nanook to the ground and pound him!"

Someone shot back, "What a joke! One cycle would probably finish you off!"

Someone else pondered aloud, "I think Amphoreus's strength might really have been overestimated. These Emanators and Aeons only look powerful because of how the Sky Curtain presents them!"

"Exactly! I bet the overall fighting strength of that universe with the Aeons doesn't even measure up to our Douluo Continent!"

The Titans had displayed such tremendous power earlier that many people had assumed Amphoreus's strength must be terrifying.

But after amassing over three hundred million Core Flames, all Phainon could do was scratch an Aeon's cheek. They could not help having doubts.

Of course, some people murmured:

"Or maybe there's another possibility: we've vastly underestimated the Aeons' power."

"Maybe Phainon isn't too weak. Maybe the Aeons are too strong?"

But those words were drowned out by mockery.

Most people would rather believe the Aeons were weak!

They could never admit Douluo Continent was not strong enough!

Sunset Forest.

Yu Xiaogang, who had been ignored as though he were part of the air, spoke up again:

"I'd say Amphoreus and the universe behind it, as described by the Sky Curtain, are no match for our Douluo Continent!"

"Let alone our Divine Realm."

"Once Little San becomes a God King, he should be able to defeat these so-called Aeons with ease!"
