Douluo Continent: The Sky Revealed, What the Hell is Honkai Academy?

Chapter 22 The Divine Artifact of Annihilation Transforms into the Sun!

"Back off!"

Fu Hua's eyes narrowed, and he 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 went even further and summoned her Oath of Judah, with golden chains appearing in phantom form.

Her cute 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. She said softly, "Dean, it seems that Ms. Himeko's power has been fully awakened. She should be our academy's first peerless Douluo."

Zhang Yi stood with his hands behind his back, watching the fiery figure within the pillar of light gradually merge with the greatsword in his hand, a knowing smile playing on his lips:

"Herrscher of Flame... This is the true form Himeko should take. No one is more suited to the Herrscher of 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!"

"what!"

Within the pillar of light, Himeko let out a muffled groan, suppressing both pain and extreme power.

The "Eternal Annihilation" greatsword in her hand emitted an unprecedented joyful cry and roar. The cracks on the sword seemed to be filled with golden magma, becoming more complete, more ferocious, and more terrifying!
Yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black, black, black, red!

Nine spirit rings with the best original ratio appeared beneath her feet, the last one being a 100,000-year spirit ring, as red as a burning flame!

Subsequently, these nine spirit rings underwent an astonishing transformation, instantly becoming a top-tier configuration of five black and three red rings!
Black, black, black, black, black, black, red, red, red!

At the same time, Himeko's soul power surged wildly under the infusion of Heavenly Dao energy!

Level ninety-seven!

Level 98!

A level 99 peerless Douluo!

He advanced three levels in a row, directly stepping into the pinnacle of this continent!
But this is just the beginning!
More importantly, she felt that deep within her soul, a core of the fiery law that had been dormant for a long time and represented "the survival of civilization" and "burning everything" was completely ignited and activated!
An almost limitless, raging Honkai energy was flowing endlessly within her body!

Behind her, a giant female figure, constructed of endless flames, wielding a giant sword and clad in a vibrant red armor, slowly rose into the air. That was the Dharma form of the Herrscher of Flame, and also Himeko's true martial spirit form!

At the same time, the profound mysteries of the new god-level domain [Burning Star Purgatory], as well as the method for releasing the final form of the artifact "Ember of Calamity", were imprinted deep within her soul as if by instinct.

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 Calamity" in her hand expanded further, becoming a heavy sword that no ordinary person could wield.

However, after this transformation, the form of the Blazing Annihilation Blade appears more fluid and perfect. Its entire body is dark red, with golden magma patterns flowing along the blade, radiating a terrifyingly high temperature that distorts space, as if this is its original form.

The answer is definitely Elite 5, completely maxed out!
Himeko slowly opened her eyes. Those eyes, which always carried a smile, now held the majesty of a top-tier expert, making people dare not look directly at her.

"This feeling...is better than ever before."

Himeko cracked her neck, producing a crisp sound, and looked down at the dumbfounded students. Her familiar, slightly arrogant smile returned to her face.
"It seems that the intensity of your future combat training can be increased by several levels."

"Teacher Himeko...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 Teacher Himeko's aura 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!
The Nine-Heart Begonia involuntarily appeared in Ye Lingling's palm, radiating a gentle life force in an attempt to resist the invisible scorching pressure.

She murmured, "Is this... the true strength of the teachers at Honkai Impact 3rd?"

Shui Bing'er instinctively gathered a chilling aura around her, but it quickly melted away as she approached Himeko. Her beautiful eyes widened: "My ultimate ice can't even get close... What happened to being immune to flames? As expected of 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, and then congratulated each other in unison: "Congratulations, Himeko-sensei, on taking another step forward in your strength!"

Theresa, hands on her hips and pouting, said, "Hmph! So what if it glows and gets hot! My Judas can grow big and smash people too!"

Fu Hua adjusted his glasses and calmly analyzed, "The energy level, the control of the laws, and the essence of the 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 and looked at Zhang Yi: "Dean, you have a keen eye indeed. Ms. Himeko has lived up to expectations."

Zhang Yi nodded, his gaze sweeping over the women: "As I said, there's no need for you to underestimate yourselves. Your potential far exceeds the imagination of this world. The true strength of Honkai Academy is only just beginning 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-shaking phantom of the Herrscher of Fire, clearly displayed before the entire Douluo Continent!
In the Douluo Continent, all factions were instantly thrown into chaos!

"Rose Armed Forces, ranked... ninth?! Honkai Academy! It's Honkai Academy again!"

"Himeko Murata? Is that the red-haired female teacher from the training ground just now? Wasn't she training with her students just now?"

"Level 99! Directly advancing to Level 99 Peerless Douluo! Are you kidding me?!"

"What kind of martial spirit is that? Rose Armament? Herrscher of the Flame? I've never heard of it before!"

"Her flames feel even more terrifying than the ultimate fire! My Fire Leopard Martial Soul is trembling!"

"A god-level domain! And that sword... a divine artifact! That's definitely a divine artifact!"

"Just who is this Honkai Academy?! How can a mere combat instructor be this strong?! Is there no justice in this world?!"

Exclamations, doubts, and fears swept across the continent once again like a tsunami.

If Shui Bing'er and Bronya's inclusion on the list previously brought the continent's attention to the genius students of this mysterious academy...

Himeko's inclusion on the list is a declaration to the entire continent—

Honkai Academy possesses top-tier combat power capable of overturning the existing order!
……

Qibao Glazed Sect.

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, the weapon in her hand has actually turned into a legendary divine artifact! How is this possible..."
