The Glory of Noxus

Dark sky.

The stars twinkled with blue light, echoing the dark night.

A flickering light of fire pierced the night sky, crossing the clouds like a meteor and passing through the cold sky.

Huo Jixing soared rapidly toward the northeast based on the Noxus map in his memory.

After a while.

The scene ahead gradually became brighter and no longer shrouded in darkness.

A brightly lit city standing at the port came into Huo Jixing's field of vision.

Rocklund!

Even late at night, the prosperity of the city can still be seen, with many Noxians running on the streets, injecting vitality into the city.

Huo Jixing looked at this familiar city in the distance, and just as he was about to land at the port of Rocklund, his expression condensed.

"Um?"

He suddenly noticed that the dark flame power in his abdomen was completely eliminated by the burning fire of Nanli in his body.

But before he could react, the red-gold Nanli Fire seemed to be a huge surging wave, which was somewhat uncontrollable.

Huo Jixing immediately chose to stay away from Rocklund and head to the nearby Rocklund Plain.

Bang!

The flames fell and smoke flew everywhere.

Huo Jixing couldn't control his strength and fell into this rugged and uninhabited mountain forest.

He looked down at Catalina and said in a solemn voice: "I need to take care of my injuries and help me stay on guard."

After saying that, he didn't wait for Catalina's reply, and he dug out a dark cave with his bare hands.

"What's going on?"

Catalina looked solemnly at the cave that was lit up with red gold flames. After a moment of hesitation, she escaped into the surrounding forest.

In the dark shadow, a pair of cold eyes penetrated the night, observing the rolling hills, and the blood-colored serrated dagger was pulled out of its sheath.

Inside the dark cave.

Huo Jixing sat cross-legged on the ground, with red gold flames rising around his body, burning and distorting the air.

Above his pupils, dark green light filled the air, and the data panel quietly unfolded.

"really!"

Huo Jixing looked at the four basic attributes on the panel, and they began to become hazy, flickering on and off.

"Legendary?"

He immediately entered the state of "Inspecting One's Own Body" and observed the changes in his own state.

Whoops! Whoops! Whoops!

Between his breaths, Huo Jixing could easily feel that the Nanli Fire in his body was changing its trajectory, dominating the flow of blood.

With every breath he takes, the Nanli fire in his body will soak into his flesh and blood, his internal organs, and his bones like fire and jade.

at the same time.

His spiritual power continues to extend outward, allowing him to easily perceive the scene outside the cave.

Even with his eyes closed, he could still see Catalina's hidden figure and smell the many different smells in the air.

At this moment, Huo Jixing felt stronger than ever before!

It is no longer an illusion, but a change from the inside out, somewhat like the unity of body and mind in the ancient saying of previous lives.

But the changes brought about by Nanli's fire were far more than that, as if it were a torrent that continued to wash away his body.

Sonorous! Sonorous! Sonorous!

Huo Jixing was immersed in the realization of the changes in his body when he suddenly heard the cry of a Suzaku in his ears.

When he came to his senses again, he was already in the familiar Suzaku star map.

Above the boundless starry sky.

The seven Suzaku stars surrounding the red gold flames trembled at the same time, causing the space to tremble, as if they were waiting for something to come.

The next moment!

The bright light filled the starry sky and drove away all the stars in the starry sky.

There are only seven flaming stars hanging upside down in the starry sky.

In Huo Jixing's field of vision, the Suzaku, which was facing south and facing the fire, revived and appeared again on the top of the starry sky.

"A very familiar scene!"

He looked at Suzaku, who was spreading Akabane's wings, and recalled the first time he lit up the Isu Star.

However, compared to the once illusory and hazy Suzaku, it is now more lifelike.

Nanli Suzaku was surrounded by flames, the red feathers adorning its wings were bright red, and its aura was extremely luxurious.

As recorded in the myth, the Nanli Suzaku looks like a bird, with sharp claws like a roc, a phoenix crown on its head, a beak like an eagle, swishy and elegant tail feathers, sharp and spiritual eyes like sparks, and a beautiful divine horse at the end.

Just when Huo Jixing was immersed in the beauty of Nanli Suzaku.

Sonorous!

Nanli Suzaku raised its head, its beak opened, and the figure of Huo Jixing was reflected in its golden eyes.

Then, Nanli Suzaku fell from the starry sky, carrying seven flaming stars, and fell towards Huo Jixing.

Boom!

It seemed like the stars were shattered and the space collapsed.

Huo Jixing stared into Nanli Suzaku's golden eyes, and his consciousness suddenly disappeared.

When he came to his senses again, he felt as if his body was broken.

Then, under the shape of Nanli's fire, he regained a 'reborn' body.

"This feeling"

Huo Jixing suddenly realized, opened the data panel, and saw his four basic attributes on it. All of them had reached 20 points, and the color had turned into gold.

"Legendary Realm!"

After Huo Jixing carefully experienced it for a while, he exited the state of "Inside View of Oneself".

After returning to the real world, Huo Jixing realized that he was already three feet above the ground, floating in the air.

And he could feel his body very clearly, as if he had entered another person.

Life form!

He remembered the remaining power of the eternal nightmare Nocturne and the evil clone of the demon clown Shaco that he had seen.

Their power can last for hundreds of years, and they can be reborn through human emotions.

At this moment, Huo Jixing stepped into the realm of legend, felt his own life form, and had some enlightenment.

But now he can't do the horrific feats of Nocturne and Shaco.

However, he could feel that the changes in his body were still continuing, and he was moving towards a higher level of life with the burning of Nanli Fire.

Huo Jixing's eyes flashed. Suzaku, the Four Spirits of Heaven, would definitely not be as simple as a legend. He still had a long way to go.

Huo Jixing once again evoked the fire of Nanli.

This time, it is not like before, it needs to be ignited through the blood, it has been ignited out of thin air completely subconsciously.

Huo Jixing felt the Nanli fire on his fingertips, as if it was separated from his own body, somewhat integrated into one, without distinguishing the feelings of each other.

The red gold flame swayed like a dancing flame spirit, causing sparks to flicker.

Huo Jixing let out a breath, and the green light rose, blending into the fire of Nanli.

In an instant, the flames surged, rapidly swelled, and melted the cave walls.

"good."

Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows and smiled when he saw that Nanli's fire and Donghua Yimu's energy could still blend together.

Just as he stood up, Huo Jixing suddenly sensed something before he could walk out of the cave and looked into the dim night sky.

In the starry night sky, a flash of fire suddenly appeared, occupying the south, with seven stars shining in the center of the light.

"This is."

Huo Jixing frowned when he saw the flaming stars in the night sky, waiting for him to react.

All of a sudden!

Behind him, Nanli Suzaku appeared automatically, its flaming wings stretched out, collecting the many flaming stars falling between the sky and the earth.

Suddenly, most of the sky was dyed red and covered with red gold flames, which seemed to burn out the starry sky.

Kaka! Kaka!

The gravel rolled down the hill, making a small crunching sound.

Catalina, who was hiding in the darkness, felt something vaguely and immediately looked back towards the cave.

All he saw was a red gold color in his field of vision, and a scorching flame was like a sharp sword edge, breaking open the cave and piercing the sky.

In the flames that filled the sky, Catalina saw a flaming bird that she had never seen before.

The golden and red crown feathers are raised high, and the flaming eyes like gems look up to the sky.

The wings covered with flames are stretched out as much as possible, gathering the flame elements floating between heaven and earth.

When Catalina wanted to take a closer look, the flame bird suddenly disappeared, leaving only the red sky.

Ta-ta! Ta-ta!

Light footsteps sounded.

Catalina's eyes fell to the cave, and her pupils tightened when she saw Huo Jixing walking out.

"His changes."

Although Huo Jixing was no different from before, as an ominous blade, she still felt an invisible change.

Huo Jixing's aura became very ordinary, no longer as violent and sharp as before.

Now he looks like an ordinary Noxian, unremarkable.

But deep down in Katarina's heart, she sensed a sense of threat that she couldn't face.

She had felt it in Swain.

"Has Huo Jixing already entered the legend?" An unbelievable idea suddenly flashed through Catalina's mind.

"No, impossible!"

"How long did it take for him to awaken to his extraordinary power? Even if he has a protoss-like talent, it should be so fast, right?"

Noxian camp near Lokrond.

The Noxian legionnaires standing on the guard tower immediately blew their horns when they saw half of the red-hot sky.

Woohoo! Woohoo!

Under the dull sound of the horn, the quiet camp seemed to wake up like a pack of wolves.

The bright yellow brazier was lit, and Noxian legionnaires wearing armor and holding sharp blades gathered together.

They looked at the sky in the distance, as if there were terrifying flames raging, burning the Lokronde plain crazily.

Upon seeing this, the commander of the camp immediately arranged for his cavalry to set off and rush to the Loklund Plains.

The chaotic war caused by the Lokrond Plains caused the Noxian Lord Swain to personally participate.

This made Rocklund's military strength very abundant.

In addition to the Noxus Empire cavalry, the commander also quickly led an elite battle group, following closely behind and rushing to the scene of the incident.

When they entered the rugged hills and came to a broken cave, they found that the building was empty and no trace of them was seen.

"Extraordinary one!"

The commander wearing black armor squatted half-crouched, brushing his fingers against the scorching mountain wall, his face heavy.

"Report it immediately."

The commander's expression changed as he thought of the black rose that had appeared in Rocklund before.

The continent of Shurima, the land in the far west.

There is a towering mountain here, made entirely of hard rocks.

Bathed in the scorching sunshine all year round, you always overlook the mountains at your feet, which are majestic and unparalleled in the world.

For most ordinary people, this mountain peak is out of reach, and only the most determined seekers are lucky enough to get a glimpse of it.

The name of this mountain is——

Mount Targon!

The top of the world in Valoran.

Mount Targon is now inhabited by the Rakkor tribe.

Among the simple buildings stretching over the mountain peaks, there is a golden temple that shines brightly.

Temple of Flame.

The core place of the Burning Sun Sect.

Within the Rakkor tribe, their children have respected the sun since they were born, and will shed their blood for the sun, looking forward to the return of the sun's protoss and the great danger that the return heralds.

In the hall of the Flame Temple, there was a woman wearing golden armor with a heavy shield and a long sword on her knees.

Chestnut hair cascaded down from the golden headband, and the heavy shield and long sword flashed the light of the sun.

"Well, is it the power of the star spirit that descended on the Valoran continent, or the power of the flame?"

Leona opened her eyes, and a touch of the sun's fire disappeared in her golden eyes.

"This power is not the sun star spirit, but it is somewhat similar."

Leona blinked her eyes, and doubts filled her golden pupils.

Then she stood up and walked to the edge of the temple, looking into the dark sky.

In the southern starry sky, a flash of fire was seen, but it disappeared in an instant.

"Is it hidden?"

Leona's heart was a little throbbing, and she wanted to go to the target location, but she thought of the current situation of Mount Targon, and had to suppress her inner thoughts.

The star spirits of the sun and the moon appeared at the same time, causing unrest in Mount Targon.

Leona needed to devote herself to her new mission, help people accept this new reality, and become the guiding light for her people, just as the sun has always guided them.

She also secretly vowed to find Diana and maintain the rule of the Sun Cult.

At the same time, she helped her old friend control the power of the Moon Spirit to prevent her from being completely destroyed.

Locklund.

One of the port cities of the Noxus Empire.

Under the dawn, the port was crowded with people, and the breath of life was overwhelming.

The hawking of various vendors, the laughter of citizens, and the endless footsteps together constituted the unique melody of this city.

Huo Jixing and Katarina followed the crowd and successfully entered Rocklund.

The two silently looked at everything around them and felt the unique atmosphere of the Noxus Empire city.

Huo Jixing looked at the familiar architectural style around him, his mouth raised, and a smile filled the air.

"Double happiness!"

He successfully broke through to the legendary realm last night and returned to the Noxus Empire safely. He could not hide his joy.

While visiting the scenery of Rocklund, Huo Jixing noticed the changes in the Noxus Empire.

Compared to when he left the Noxus Empire, the atmosphere now seems to have changed a lot.

The Noxian Empire was shrinking its power, and this strategy has begun to show results.

The empire's military power is highly concentrated, the internal liquidation has ended, and its strength is gradually recovering.

On the surface, the Noxian Empire, which once fought on all sides, seems to have disappeared, no longer as arrogant and unscrupulous as before.

But in fact, this is just a lion putting away its fangs, which brings a more dangerous feeling to the surrounding forces.

Huo Jixing laughed softly and saw the smiles on the faces of the Noxians on the street, and their expectations for future life.

This was not seen in the dark period of Bron Darkwill's rule.

And the changes in the Noxians silently tell that Swain and the Trifari Council have been effective in reforming the Noxian Empire.

After visiting Rocklund, Huo Jixing and Katarina left the port city and went to the camp outside the city.

First, then change
