Chapter 400, Section 398: Achieving Fourth-Tier Status (Please Subscribe)
As the golden-red Olympic flame burst forth and spread outwards, the intense heat was overwhelming, and Oliveira and the other two could no longer stand.

They closed the distance to 100 meters, but now it seems that it's still too close.

Without any hesitation, the three quickly retreated until they were completely out of the ruins of Lion Castle before stopping.

Looking at Loy, whose figure was already blurred in the sacred flame, Iron Knight Phil couldn't help but say, "Is the Earl about to create a catastrophe?!"

The tone was questioning, but the words spoken were affirmative, which was unacceptable to the Flame Sword Saint Otto: "This is breaking through to the fourth rank, achieving the Heavenly Calamity, can it be done so casually?"

"Furthermore, I don't recall seeing the Earl drink any fourth-tier potions to overcome natural disasters, nor did he use any other auxiliary potions. Is one drop of 'Isis's Spring Water' really enough?"

"This is simply playing with one's life, it's really, really..."

"That is our king, the king of lions. All we need to do is choose to believe!"

These were Oliveira's words, spoken softly yet with unwavering conviction.

"Therefore, we were summoned here with the sole mission of protection. The Earl intends to bring about a natural disaster, and we are his guardians, ensuring that he is not disturbed."

"Understood!"

The three moved swiftly, dispersing in three directions, forming a triangle, and keeping an eye on the movements in all directions.

Of course, they still couldn't help but look back at the center.

Then, they saw that the golden-red battle aura had become almost tangible, and it was even rubbing against the elements in the air, lifting Luo Yi's body upward.

If a third-tier transcendent combatant wants to fly, they need special combat skills, such as Qi-based wings or Eagle Step.

So, those of the fourth-order calamity are born with the ability to fly.

The immense and pure battle qi within them can create a repulsive effect with the external elemental environment, much like two magnets of the same polarity approaching each other, allowing one of them to float in mid-air.

It is said that the basic principle of the levitation ring is similar to this.

At this moment, Luo Yi was floating a hundred meters in the air, her whole body radiating golden-red holy fire at its peak, the swirling flames growing ever brighter, like oil being poured over a raging fire, blooming without restraint.

Actually, Luo Yi's fighting spirit quality is no less than that of a fourth-tier player, and she has awakened the Holy Flame type.

With the aid of the sacred skill, his physique broke through its limits and was no less than that of a fourth-tier cultivator.

With the enhancement of meditation and holy techniques, his soul strength is even stronger than that of an ordinary fourth-tier calamity.

Therefore, in every aspect, Luo Yi completely overwhelms the fourth-tier natural disaster.

Even the most powerful natural disaster, the most prestigious being, he can say, "Come and fight, I'll beat you so badly your own mother won't recognize you."

But he is still only a third-tier transcendent, not a true natural disaster!

The difference is fundamental, and it represents an evolution of life forms.

If the legendary is the pinnacle of the prime material plane, having already stepped halfway out, it belongs to the inhuman realm.

The fourth-tier natural disaster is the pinnacle that mortals can reach, wielding power akin to a natural disaster.

What Luo Yi wanted was the vitality of a mortal at the peak.

Only by taking what you are entitled to can you solidify your foundation and accumulate the necessary knowledge for future growth.

Taking this step is certainly difficult for others!
It could even be said that among twenty extraordinary peak-level individuals, assuming ample resources and suitable potions, only one would succeed in taking that step.

With a success rate of one in twenty, countless third-tier transcendents have given up!
If the breakthrough is successful, that's fine. But if it fails, the best-case scenario is that the body is injured, the strength is greatly reduced, and there is no chance to go any further.

There is one such person among the flower-loving leaders.

Grand Knight Commander Thor of Siren Harbor was once full of vigor and ambition, and Count Karl Raymond gave him full support.

But if he took that first step and failed, he would be devastated.

He was unwilling to return to Siren Harbor, not only because someone needed to be stationed there, but also because he didn't want to go back to Lion's Castle.

However, these are all other people, not Loy.

Luo Yi was absolutely confident that he could successfully take that step, so when his fighting spirit was fully charged, he took another step forward without hesitation.

He was too lazy to even take the awakening potion.

On the one hand, awakening potions are indeed hard to find, and finding the right awakening potion for yourself is even harder.

On the other hand, according to Deep Blue's research, the side effect of the Awakening Potion is actually that it is a powerful medicine that stimulates potential, but if not handled carefully, it can deplete one's foundation.

Therefore, the most perfect breakthrough is to break through the shackles directly without using magic potions.

The way to break free from these shackles is quite simple: burn away all your fighting spirit, and burn your body, blood essence, and soul as well.

What I seek is to break down and rebuild, until death do us part!

Like a pile of firewood, it either burns out completely or becomes a wildfire.

For a full day and night, Luo Yi maintained the posture of releasing her fighting spirit to the extreme.

From its initial fiery glow, it has now withered to a mere thin layer, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment. Yet, this flickering flame displays an extreme resilience, enduring darkness and storms, remaining undying.

Finally, at noon, when the sun was shining brightly,
Within Luo Yi's body, within what appeared to be drained flesh and blood, a powerful life force erupted once more.

Blood flowed like thunder in spring; flesh and bone rubbed together like bamboo shoots after rain. After breaking the limits, the potential within the body replenished itself, bringing an even more surging and overwhelming power.

At this moment, Luo Yi felt her flesh and blood being nourished, her bones and muscles growing again, and even her soul seemed to be sublimated, reflecting the outside world so clearly.

It's like transforming a pixelated image into a high-definition one, an image that has been rendered hundreds or thousands of times.

He seemed to be able to clearly capture all of this, every little thing happening in the outside world.

But that's not all; the most turbulent force is the fighting spirit!

It gathers from between muscles and bones, and with the heartbeat, it surges through the blood like a flood, with astonishing force.

Even more strangely, Luo Yi's fighting spirit was released outwards, and the golden-red holy fire fighting spirit became brighter and brighter, the flames condensed, and even developed into a bright yellow.

Luo Yi, with her third-tier cultivation level, naturally couldn't cultivate the [Holy Fire] in time, but once she reached the fourth tier, the experience was completely different.

That kind of effortless control was something that couldn't be compared to before.

Moreover, the fire that Luo Yi ignited actually took a significant step forward, beginning to develop into the level of 'blazing fire'.

At that moment, Luo Yi raised her hand, took out the Angel Ring, and placed it on her head.

As a result, a vast and sacred aura poured down and entered Luo Yi's body. With this support, the already ignited Holy Flame Battle Qi exploded completely.

And so, at noon, another sun appeared in the sky, like a blazing sun, radiating intense and sacred light.

At this moment, countless people in Brussels looked up.

Because, in their field of vision, it appeared as if two suns had appeared in the sky.

Moreover, as time went on, the light of the sun below grew brighter and brighter until it completely obscured the light of the sun in the sky.

This scene has shocked countless people.

Inside the mage tower, His Majesty Saint Bartholomew suddenly turned his head. His gaze was wise yet extremely penetrating, as if he could see through the mage tower and into Loy, who had broken through to the fourth level of the mage realm.

At this moment, even the most seasoned mechanical mages, who had witnessed countless geniuses, could not hide the admiration on their faces.

Inside the temple, Bishop Virgil Berry, who was praying, suddenly looked up.

He gazed into the distance, his eyes transforming into dragon eyes, a faint dragon's might permeating the air, making the vast temple so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Most of those who came to pray fainted as soon as their eyes rolled back, but a few with stronger willpower struggled to hold on.

At this moment, however, all that remained in their eyes as they looked at the red dragon Virgil was terror.

Virgil the red dragon ignored them, his dragon eyes reflecting a burning sun, and murmured, "So this is the fourth tier?"

"That's incredibly fast!"

"As expected of the person I chose, even geniuses pale in comparison!"

"No, he can't be called a genius anymore. He has mastered so many sacred techniques. With his current combat power, even an ordinary legendary figure probably couldn't defeat him."

In other words, he is now qualified to sit at the table and eat.

In that case, there are some things I can show him.

Far away in the Dome Mountains, at the foot of a mountain that resembles an eagle's beak, lies a small town.

Two strikingly handsome men were shopping for supplies. They seemed completely out of place, but the people around them ignored their unusual behavior.

As they emerged from a shop, one of them suddenly stopped, turned his head, and squinted slightly as he looked into the distance.

He couldn't see anything, but that didn't stop him from sensing the unique aura rising up.

"He's already advanced to the fourth tier, and with holy fire-type battle aura no less! Even among paladins, I've never seen anyone stronger than him!"

"With that kind of aura, even a legend wouldn't dare to challenge him."

"This guy is truly a prodigy!"

Grand Duke Karen's voice wasn't loud, but he didn't try to hide it either, and the person next to him heard it clearly.

His expression changed slightly, and he said, "If he is really that strong, wouldn't we be in danger?"

After all, he cultivated the Holy Fire Battle Qi, which was most favored by the church.

Was moving here really the right choice?

"Hehe, don't worry, it's because he has mastered the Holy Flame Battle Qi that we are safer here."

This is what they call "the darkest place is under the lamp!"
