Chapter 22 The Divine Artifact of Annihilation Transforms into the Sun!
"Step back!"
Fu Hua's eyes narrowed, and she instantly appeared in front of the students, unleashing a balanced and peaceful soul power barrier to block the terrifying heat wave that was rushing towards them.
Theresa even directly summoned her Oath of Judah, with golden chains appearing in phantom form.
Her adorable little face was filled with shock: "Wow...what terrifying energy fluctuations! Is Himeko about to turn into a human sun?" Rita's elegant figure quietly appeared beside Zhang Yi, her beautiful eyes sparkling with wonder, and she whispered, "Dean, it seems that Ms. Himeko's power has been fully awakened. This should be our academy's first Peerless Douluo."
Zhang Yi stood with his hands behind his back, watching the blazing figure in the pillar of light gradually merging with the greatsword in his hand, a knowing smile playing on his lips:
"Herrscher of the Flame...this is the form Himeko should be in. No one is more suitable for the Herrscher of the Flame core than her. Now that the dormant core has been activated by the power of the Heavenly Dao, Himeko's strength will increase exponentially!"
"Ah!"
Within the pillar of light, Himeko let out a muffled groan, suppressing pain and ultimate power.
The "Emberless Annihilation" greatsword in her hand emitted an unprecedented roar and jubilation, the cracks on the sword seemingly filled with golden magma, becoming more complete, more ferocious, and more terrifying!
Yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black, black, black, black, red!
Nine spirit rings with the optimal ratio appeared beneath her feet, the last one a hundred thousand-year spirit ring, as red as a burning flame!
Then, these nine spirit rings underwent an astonishing transformation, instantly becoming a top-tier configuration of five black and three red!
Black, black, black, black, black, black, black, red, red, red!
Simultaneously, Himeko's spirit power surged wildly under the infusion of Heavenly Dao energy!
Level 97!
Level 98!
Level 99 Peerless Douluo!
She rose three levels in quick succession, directly entering the pinnacle of this continent!
But this was only the beginning!
More importantly, she felt that deep within her soul, a previously dormant core of Flame Law, representing "the survival of civilization" and "the burning of everything," was completely ignited and activated!
An almost limitless, raging Honkai energy flowed ceaselessly within her body!
Behind her, in the void, a gigantic female figure, constructed of endless flames, wielding a giant sword and clad in vibrant crimson armor, slowly rose. This was the Dharma form of the Herrscher of Fire, and also Himeko's true martial spirit form!
Simultaneously, the profound mysteries of the new divine domain, [Burning Star Purgatory], and the method for unleashing the final form of the divine artifact "Ember of Annihilation," were instinctively imprinted into the depths of her soul.
After a long while, the crimson-gold pillar of light slowly receded.
Himeko hovered in mid-air, her originally bright red dress seemingly transformed into a burning battle robe. The "Ember of Annihilation" in her hand further expanded, becoming a heavy sword unlike anything an ordinary person could wield.
But after this transformation, the form of the "Ember of Annihilation" appeared even more fluid and perfect, its entire body a dark red, with golden magma patterns flowing along the blade, radiating a terrifyingly high temperature that distorted space itself—as if this were its original form.
(Apparently, it's at Elite 5, completely maxed out!)
Himeko slowly opened her eyes. Those eyes, which always held a smile, now possessed a newfound authority, making it impossible for anyone to look directly at her.
"This feeling... is better than ever before."
Himeko cracked her neck, producing a crisp sound. She looked down at the stunned students, her face regaining that familiar, slightly arrogant smile.
"It seems I can increase the intensity of your future combat training by several levels."
"Himeko-sensei... you... you've become so terrifying! Just standing there makes my legs weak!" Dugu Yan swallowed hard, instinctively taking a half-step back.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were filled with shock. She could feel that the aura of Teacher Himeko at this moment was far more terrifying than any Title Douluo she knew, even surpassing the evil Pope Bibi Dong in the sky in terms of pure energy level!
Ye Lingling's Nine-Hearted Begonia involuntarily appeared in her palm, emitting a gentle life aura in an attempt to resist the invisible scorching pressure.
She murmured, "Is this... the true strength of the Honkai Academy teachers?"
Shui Bing'er's body instinctively condensed with cold air, but it quickly melted away when she approached Himeko. Her beautiful eyes widened: "My ultimate ice can't even get close... What happened to being immune to flames? Truly worthy of being Teacher Himeko."
"Wow! Aunt Himeko is so cool!" Kiana cheered without a care in the world.
Raiden Mei and Bronya exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes, then congratulated each other in unison, "Congratulations, Teacher Himeko, your strength has improved even further!"
Theresa, hands on her hips, pouted, "Hmph! So what if she can glow and generate heat! My Judah can also grow big and smash people!"
Fu Hua pushed up her glasses and calmly analyzed, "Her energy level, law control, and the essence of her martial soul have all undergone a qualitative leap. Himeko's current strength is enough to directly confront or even suppress that Pope with twin martial souls."
Rita smiled at Zhang Yi, "Dean's eyes are indeed discerning. Ms. Himeko has lived up to expectations."
Zhang Yi nodded, his gaze sweeping over the women, "I said, you don't need to underestimate yourselves. Your potential far exceeds the imagination of this world. The foundation of Honkai Academy has only just begun to be revealed."
Through the sky, Himeko completed her transformation, wielding the sublimated Calamity Annihilation, bearing the pressure of a level 99 Peerless Douluo, and the soul-trembling phantom of the Herrscher of the Flame, clearly displayed before the entire Douluo Continent!
On the Douluo Continent, all factions were instantly in an uproar!
"Rose Armed Forces, ranked...ninth?! Honkai Academy! It's Honkai Academy again!"
"Himeko Murata? Is that the red-haired female teacher from the training grounds? Wasn't she just training with her students?"
"Level 99! Directly promoted to level 99 Peerless Douluo! Are you kidding me?!"
"What kind of martial soul is that? Rose Armed Forces? Herrscher of the Flame? Never heard of it before!"
"Her flames feel even more terrifying than the Ultimate Flame! My Fire Leopard martial soul is trembling!"
"God-level domain! And that sword...a divine artifact! That's definitely a divine artifact!"
"Just what kind of background does this Honkai Academy have?! A mere combat instructor is this strong?! Is there no justice in this world?!"
Exclamations, doubts, and fears swept across the continent like a tsunami.
If Shui Bing'er and Bronya's previous rankings had drawn the attention of the continent to the genius students of this mysterious academy, then Himeko's ranking was a declaration to the entire continent—
Honkai Academy possesses top-tier combat power capable of overturning the existing order!
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Ning Fengzhi stared intently at the sky, his voice hoarse: "Uncle Jian, am I seeing things? That red-haired woman, who looked like a little sun, her weapon has actually turned into a legendary divine artifact! How is this possible..."
