Chapter 238: The Blooming Summer Flame

Late at night, in the land of the Goat-Horn Tribe.

Below the not-so-tall hills were rows of domed tents. Between the tents were scattered fire pits, their burning flames illuminating the surroundings. In the basin on the south side of the hill, there were not only tents housing Nia’s tribe but also groups of horses and sheep penned up in enclosures.

At night, these animals huddled together for warmth, occasionally emitting snoring sounds.

At the edge of one enclosure, several thick wooden posts were driven into the ground, with horizontal wooden bars nailed between them, forming a fence to prevent the livestock from escaping.

The wooden stakes were cracked, and the nails holding the wooden bars were slightly rusted. Amidst the chirping of insects on a dark night, a small shoe stepped onto one of the wooden stakes, silent as a whisper. Nearby sheep continued to sleep soundly, unaware and snoring away.

The white shoe extended upward, revealing a pair of graceful calves. The skin was even whiter and more beautiful than the dress she wore. Her slender waist was accentuated by her fitted top, perfectly displaying her figure. Her rounded shoulders were exposed, though it was still autumn, and it wasn’t too cold yet.

This silver-haired girl stood atop the wooden stake, letting her skirt flutter in the night breeze. She gazed at the surrounding scenery, her figure slowly rotating in the air, as if dancing like an elf on the stake, quietly and beautifully.

On the vast open field where the wind blew the grass low, emerald green light points gradually appeared, like fireflies, moving and swaying with the wind. The faint glow illuminated the surroundings, creating an ethereal scene.

Unfortunately, this beautiful sight was not seen by anyone else. Only occasionally, a few horses that had woken up in the middle of the night would emit curious sounds, echoing in the darkness.

The horses curiously watched the girl dancing among the “fireflies,” then these light points formed emerald green butterflies that flew around in large overlapping circles.

The silver-haired girl leaped into the air, and the butterflies followed suit, leaving beautiful trails in the night sky before vanishing instantly.

Lolan Hill felt the airflow parting in front of her, her body rapidly ascending. In a blink, she passed through the layers of clouds, entering the towering cloud sea above.

The moon hung high in the sky, and the emerald green butterflies danced amidst the cloud sea, constantly circling around her.

Finally, these emerald green butterflies transformed into streams of light, converging and enveloping her, forming a huge bud. The light within flickered, resembling breathing.

At this moment, Lolan Hill officially began her advancement to Natural Sequence 4, Myth.

Her talent allowed her strength to far surpass her peers at the same level, but the cost was that the magic power she needed to refine for advancement was dozens of times more than others. It wasn’t until she recently came to the grassland that she could divert her focus from the Angel Sequence cultivation and start making up for the stagnated Natural Sequence.

It can be imagined that if she wanted to advance in all sequences simultaneously in the future, she would need to find some methods to accelerate her cultivation, such as extraordinary potions or high-level extraordinary products. Although it was a bit troublesome, the benefit was that she would have almost no weaknesses and could truly achieve all-round perfection unparalleled by anyone before.

Above the moonlit sea of clouds, pale green flower buds emitted a faint glow, blooming against the wind as if a fairy-like young lady emerged from the stamen, semi-transparent butterfly wings behind her, emitting a pale green fluorescence, yet refracting a rainbow of colors at the edges like glass.

The Natural Sequence, which originally lacked combat skills, finally gained specialized attack capabilities. Lolan Hill opened her eyes and checked her status, then raised her right hand to test her newly acquired abilities.

A gentle breeze carried wisps of flame flowing through the air, circling around her fingertips. As the symbols overlapped in her pupils flashed, an orange-red stream of fire erupted on the layers of clouds.

Countless orange-red threads formed a vast wave, weaving back and forth at the height of ten thousand miles. The scenery in her vision distorted due to the plasma state high-temperature gas, and the cloud sea beneath the colorless fire waves began to rapidly evaporate.

The deep and thick cloud sea dispersed upon contact, and within just a few moments, the cloud sea within a thousand miles melted like ice. Silver moonlight began to illuminate the dark earth, and tonight’s sky was particularly bright, making even the tiny stars clearly visible. The sky seemed as clean and clear as freshly washed glass.

Surprised by the immense power and wide range of this skill, Lolan Hill quickly retracted her hand. The unceasing burning wind in the sky gradually ceased, and the originally cold night became incredibly warm, as if she had returned to the summer months before.

Under the mild night breeze, Extraordinary Beings with a slight sense of something stirred, stepping out of their dwellings to gaze at this clear sky.
