Chapter 36: Beyond Forbidden Spells, Incinerating the Heavens and Boiling the Seas!

[Page 1/3]
【Available Skill Points: 1,016,334】
Lin Yi opened his skill panel.
He selected the Fire element.
His gaze lingered on the interface for the Tier 8 skill, [Supreme Sublimation: Fire Spirit Avatar].
Add points!
It must be done!
He opened the point-allocation interface.
The "One-Click Add" button, which had been grayed out before, now glowed bright.
Lin Yi took a deep breath.
A Forbidden Spell was within reach.
【Do you wish to spend 1,000,000 skill points to upgrade your skill to Tier 9?】
Yes!
One-click allocation, activated!
The next moment, a pleasant chime echoed in Lin Yi’s ears.
【Ding! Consumed 1,000,000 skill points. Your Supreme Sublimation: Fire Spirit Avatar has evolved into: Tier 9 Forbidden Spell · Heaven-Falling Desolation!】
The moment the notification sounded, Lin Yi’s vision blurred.
The surrounding scene vanished entirely.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself immersed in an illusion.
It was an apocalyptic vision.
Lin Yi hovered high in the sky, as if viewing the world from the perspective of a god.
Below him lay an endless ocean and a vast, expansive continent.
Everything seemed normal.
Until—
The sky was stained red by flames, as if it had been completely set ablaze!
Countless terrifying, gargantuan meteorites rained down from space.
In an instant, the solid land was split and shattered by the raining fire, turning into a pool of molten, crimson lava that merged into the ocean!
The once-calm sea was heated to a boil, erupting in billowing steam, evaporating in massive quantities and venting into the outer atmosphere!
The next moment, the ocean dried up.
The land melted.
Everything seemed to return to over four billion years ago, the moment the Blue Planet was born.
All things returned to their primal origin: a chaotic, molten, scorching mass where nothing could be distinguished from another!
The illusion faded.
Lin Yi returned to reality.
He realized he was drenched in cold sweat.
He could not fathom what he had just witnessed.

That was the power to create and destroy worlds.
That was—
A Super-God Forbidden Spell!
The term surfaced in his mind.
He reopened the skill interface.
Lin Yi realized his suspicions were correct.
A Tier 9 Forbidden Spell was not the end.
In fact, it was far from the end!
Lin Yi could already preview the skills obtainable after further upgrades.
【Ancient Forbidden Spell · World-Purging Flame Prison】
【Skill points required for upgrade: 10,000,000】
【Subsequent evolution path: Ancient Forbidden Spell · Great Sun Golden Crow】
【Currency required for evolution: 100,000,000】
【Skill points required for evolution: 20,000,000】
【Note: The alienated version of Ancient Forbidden Spell · Great Sun Golden Crow can further evolve into an Ultimate Forbidden Spell.】
"Beyond the Ancient Forbidden Spell, there is the Ultimate Forbidden Spell..."
"And even the Ultimate Forbidden Spell is not the limit. The true Forbidden Spell capable of destroying an entire planet and returning the Blue Planet to the sea of fire from four billion years ago is called the Super-God Forbidden Spell!"
Lin Yi understood; the illusion he had just seen must have been the scene of a Super-God Forbidden Spell being cast.
That was true world-ending magic!
Capable of melting continents and boiling oceans!
So, that was the ultimate form of fire magic!
Turning one's hand to destroy a star!
Lin Yi took a deep breath, calming his agitated heart.
He had previously thought he had witnessed the peak power of this world, but now he realized he had merely been a frog in a well.
Yet, this only made him clench his fists tighter.
Isn't this even more interesting?
Even if the required skill points eventually reached hundreds of millions, for him, it was merely a matter of a few years of waiting.
He could afford to wait!
But for now, his next goal was certainly not to upgrade his first Forbidden Spell into an Ancient one.
Instead, he would aim for horizontal expansion!
At the very least, he needed to upgrade all his elemental magics to the Forbidden Spell level!
Lin Yi examined the details of the Forbidden Spell he had just acquired.
【Forbidden Spell · Heaven-Falling Desolation】
【Type: Active Skill】
【Tier: 9】
【Element: Fire】
【Cost: 1,000,000 Mana】
【Chant Time: 10 minutes】
【Cooldown: 3 days】
【Effect: Summons primordial flames to descend from the sky, igniting all targets within a massive range and dealing immense fire damage.】
[Page 2/3]

[Page 3/3]
【The ignition effect caused by this skill is permanent and cannot be dispelled.】
【This skill ignores all damage reduction and immunity effects below Tier 9.】
【Remark: This fire has been burning since the primordial, ancient times.】
Hiss...
Lin Yi took a sharp breath.
A ten-minute chant.
A mana cost of one million.
It was, after all, a Forbidden Spell; the casting conditions were incredibly harsh.
Lin Yi was glad that when he upgraded his Tier 8 fire skills, he had received a free evolution opportunity.
Because in the "Sublimation" state, all his fire spells were instant-cast and cost-free.
If he could solve the skill cooldown issue in the future, he might even be able to perform the feat of chaining Forbidden Spells while in the Sublimation state!
Regardless, the Forbidden Spell he had longed for was finally in his hands.
Lin Yi took a moment to look at the evolved version of this Tier 9 Forbidden Spell.
【Evolved Version: Forbidden Spell · Buddha’s Wrath Fire Lotus】
【Currency required for evolution: 2,000,000 Great Xia Dollars】
【Skill points required for evolution: 1,000,000】
Lin Yi: "?"
"Buddy, why does this skill name sound so familiar!"
Lin Yi thought about it for a second.
Don't say it... don't you dare say it.
After all, they are both playing with fire; aren't 'Different Fires' just a manifestation of alienated fire magic anyway...
Forget it, don't overthink it. The Forbidden Spell is already in hand; time to sleep.
...
The night passed.
At 5:30 AM the next day, before his alarm even rang, Lin Yi was awakened by a knock on the door.
He opened the door to find his mother, Xu Qingfang, wearing an apron with dark circles under her eyes, calling him for breakfast.
His father, Lin Guodong, was also up, banging on their old car with a wrench, trying to fix the vehicle they hadn't driven in ages.
For this big day, he intended to drive his son to the station himself.
Otherwise, taking other transport might lead to trouble if he was late.
Lin Yi rubbed his sleepy eyes. He couldn't help but sigh; it looked like his parents hadn't slept at all, likely catching only two or three hours before getting up to cook and fix the car for him.
He had no choice but to skip his last half-hour of sleep, wash up, eat the breakfast that was even more sumptuous than the night before, pack his student ID and admission ticket, and get into his father's car.
Lin Guodong drove at full throttle, heading straight for the Jiangcheng Station.
Every year, the National Professional College Entrance Examination is held in the provincial capitals.
For Dongjiang Province, that naturally meant the capital city, Tianhai.
To maintain order and discipline, the authorities arranged a special underground express train every year to transport candidates from all over the province to the exam site.
Upon arriving at Jiangcheng Station, Lin Yi discovered it was already a sea of people.
