Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 1 Martial Soul Awakening

Douluo Continent, Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City.

As the capital of the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City is undoubtedly the empire's largest city and its political, cultural, and economic center. It is known as the "Capital That Will Never Fall."

The walls of Xingluo City are a hundred meters high and a terrifying hundred meters thick, constructed entirely of solid rock. Covering an area of ​​over a thousand square kilometers, stretching over a hundred miles in both directions, the widest main road can accommodate sixteen carriages traveling side-by-side. And this is only the outer city.

The heart of the entire city lies in the center of Xingluo City, known as the inner city. The inner city is 960 meters long and 750 meters wide, with walls reaching 20 meters high. It is truly a city within a city. This palace was completed when the White Tiger Duke's lineage was still royalty. After numerous renovations, its scale has grown ever larger, and its architecture has become increasingly magnificent.

The permanent population of Xingluo City exceeds 8 million, and including outsiders, the maximum population can reach 20 million.

The lively noise echoed throughout Xingluo City, and on the red streets along the roadside, purple dresses fluttered in the breeze.

A beautiful girl who looked only eight or nine years old, with purple hair and red eyes, wore a purple dress and black stockings that went past her knees. She was holding the hand of a child who looked about six years old. The child had short white hair that fluttered slightly in the wind, and sky-blue eyes that were as ethereal as the sky. Her sapphire-like pupils revealed a deep sense of helplessness.

"Sister Jiu Jiu, I can go by myself. I know exactly where the palace is."

"No, today is the important day for your martial soul awakening. I want to personally take you to awaken your martial soul."

"Alright," Ji Lin replied helplessly.

Ji Lin sighed softly, not feeling any anticipation for the upcoming martial soul awakening, because he already knew in advance what his martial soul would be.

The boy's name was Ji Lin, a transmigrator who arrived on the Douluo Continent about six years ago. His parents died in an accident while hunting spirit beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest the following year. Both his parents were disciples of the Star Crown Sect. His mother, surnamed Xu, was from a collateral branch of the Star Crown Sect, and by seniority, she was of the same generation as Xu Jiawei's father, the current emperor of the Star Luo Empire. However, she did not inherit the Star Crown Martial Soul, so she was not valued; otherwise, she wouldn't have died in the Star Dou Great Forest. His father, surnamed Ji, possessed the Crimson Flame Sword, a fire-attribute weapon spirit, but only a high-level one, not a top-level one.

After Ji Lin's parents died unexpectedly, Xingguanzong adopted the two-year-old Ji Lin and brought her from Xingyun City to Xingluo City. It was in Xingluo City that Ji Lin met her. The princess liked Ji Lin very much and called her "sister," which gave her a special sense of satisfaction. After all, the princess was the emperor's youngest sister, and Ji Lin was the only one younger than her among her peers, and only Ji Lin called her "sister."

After a long time, Xu Jiujiu led Ji Lin through Xingluo Square and into Xingluo Imperial City. They arrived at a palace, where a Soul Saint-level Soul Master had been waiting for a long time at the palace gate.

This Soul Saint is named Zhang Wei, a level 72 agility-attack type Soul Saint, whose Martial Soul is the Beast Martial Soul Gale Eagle.

"Your Highness," Zhang Wei bowed slightly to show his respect for the princess.

"Thank you for your hard work. I've brought Xiao Lin. We can begin the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony now." Xu Jiujiu nodded slightly and said.

Turning to Ji Lin, Xu Jiujiu said, "Little Lin, this is the place where our Star Luo royal family uses its special martial soul awakening."

"Let your older sister see what kind of martial soul you can awaken," Xu Jiujiu said with anticipation.

"Don't worry, Sister Jiu Jiu, I believe you won't be disappointed," Ji Lin said calmly.

Upon entering the depths of the main hall, Zhang Wei glanced at Ji Lin, then a flash of light appeared in his hand as he pulled out six black stones.

After arranging the six stones, Zhang Wei changed his hand seals, and instantly, a golden six-pointed star array appeared.

Within the star array, numerous mysterious patterns were densely packed, seemingly carrying a mysterious power.

"Step into the magic circle."

Zhang Wei's voice rang out.

Ji Lin quickly complied and stepped into the magic array.

The next moment, Zhang Wei exuded an astonishing aura. Behind him, it seemed as if an eagle was circling, its sharp eyes carrying a captivating power.

"rise!""

With a soft shout, the six-pointed star array shone brightly, transforming into a golden light shield that completely enveloped Ji Lin.

A wisp of golden light entered Ji Lin's body, as if to activate the power that lay dormant deep within him.

Soon, as golden light entered Ji Lin's body, it was as if something had been disturbed.

Ji Lin emitted a blazing red light, and the temperature in the air continued to rise. A crimson greatsword appeared in Ji Lin's right hand, and an aura that seemed to destroy everything spread out.

This greatsword has a black hilt, and its crimson blade is wreathed in crimson flames of destruction. It is both handsome and magnificent, and is filled with destructive power.

As soon as it appeared, it soared into the sky with an aura of annihilation.

Above Xingluo City, the clouds in the sky were dispersed by a surge of energy, and the scorching sun shone down on the earth.

At the same time, within Xingluo City, Emperor Xu Jiawei of Xingluo and several chief priests of the Royal Hall rushed toward this main hall simultaneously.

Looking at the greatsword in his hand, Ji Lin was also very excited. Although he already knew what his martial soul would awaken, when the martial soul actually awakened and he felt the power to destroy everything contained in the greatsword in his hand, Ji Lin still couldn't help but have his heart beat faster and couldn't suppress his excitement.

Heavenly Judgment, also known as the Seventh Divine Key, is a weapon from the mobile game "Honkai Impact 3" and its derivative works, which is the previous incarnation of Ji Lin on Earth. It is a divine key made from the Herrscher core of the Seventh Herrscher of Flame from the previous civilization era. The Heavenly Judgment in dual-gun form dominates the power of "flame" and has the most powerful destructive force.

Ji Lin's Heavenly Fire Judgment is not in the form of two guns combined, but in the form of a greatsword after the two guns are combined. It is a super weapon spirit that is born with the ultimate destruction and the ultimate fire.

"What a powerful martial spirit, what an amazing aura!" Zhang Wei, who was awakening the martial spirit for Ji Lin, finally realized what was happening and said with a shocked expression.

"Is this... the Crimson Flame Sword? No, that's not right. This isn't your father's Crimson Flame Sword Martial Soul at all, Xiao Lin. Is this a Martial Soul mutation? It's so hot! The fire element in the air is so active." Xu Jiujiu fanned herself with her slender hands, looking utterly dumbfounded. She looked incredibly cute.

"What happened here? What was that aura just now?" Xu Jiawei and the other worshippers from the Hall of Worship, who had just arrived, looked at the three people in the main hall and asked with puzzled expressions. They had just felt that powerful aura and thought that a strange and powerful person had invaded the palace, which was why they rushed over without stopping.

All they saw inside the hall were Zhang Wei and Xu Jiujiu, both looking shocked, and Ji Lin, who was carrying a large sword.

"This is the Awakening Hall. I remember today is the day Ji Lin's martial soul awakens, so what happened here? Who released that aura just now?" Xu Jiawei asked, frowning as he looked at Zhang Wei, who was in shock.

As a new author with a new book, I would appreciate it if you could all give me lots of recommendation votes.
