The Fire Spirit Race itself had its own problems. Unless there was a huge disaster in the core world, the Fire Spirit Race could only remain neutral according to the rules passed down by their ancestors. At most, they might help the Fire Lotus Race a little. But even so, the Fire Demon Race was still insatiable and getting more and more outrageous. After careful consideration, the Fire Spirit King decided to hold this ceremony in hopes of selecting an acting bishop to command the overall situation.
The Fire Demon Race was naturally happy to see such a situation happen, but the Fire Spirit King put forward a condition. In order to nurture new people, the three Supreme Supreme Elders were not allowed to take part in the selection ceremony of the acting Sect Master.
The patriarch of the Fire Demon Race, the Fire Demon King, was the one who led the Fire Demon Race to become powerful again. He knew that his strength had already surpassed the Fire Lotus King and the Fire Spirit King, so he naturally disagreed with the conditions proposed by the Fire Spirit King. But in the end, he still compromised. The reason was very simple — the Fire Spirit King told him that if he didn't agree to continue to be entangled with them, the Fire Spirit King would join forces with the Fire Lotus King for the sake of the peace of the core world. The two races would join forces to eliminate the Fire Demon Race.
Although the Fire Demon Race was arrogant, they also understood that it was impossible for their race to fight against the other two races at the same time. Feeling helpless, they could only swallow their anger and agree.
In a few days, the ceremony for the selection of the acting bishop of the Flaming Bar Holy Church would be held. The three races were making preparations in full swing. In the eyes of the Fire Demon Race and the other races, the acting bishop would definitely appear among the three races.
The other races would at most be there to watch the ceremony and join in the fun.
The competition between the three races had reached a white-hot level. Naturally, no one was willing to relax at this moment, and the manpower that they had secretly prepared was almost ready.
The 20 Fire Demons who were patrolling suddenly stopped in their tracks and looked at the entrance of the deep 15th floor in unison.
Accompanied by a deep dragon roar, dazzling gold and black flames ignited, and a huge figure flew out of the exit.
The flames on the bodies of the 20 Fire Demons blazed at the same time, and the surrounding air instantly became viscous. The temperature that was originally 80 ° C instantly rose to over 300 ° C, and the intense mana fluctuations mixed with the powerful mental lock-on shrouded the colossus that appeared out of nowhere.
It was a tyrannical creature that the Fire Demons had never seen before. These Fire Demons, who had an average cultivation base of rank nine, actually felt an irresistible power from its body. Just as they collectively locked onto it and shrouded it, a layer of faint silver light spread out from the direction of the gigantic creature's head. The Fire Demon Sect was shocked to find that their lock-on had landed in nothingness, as if no creature had appeared at all.
"How dare you be so rude to me." A clear and resounding voice came from above the colossus. In the next moment, the colossus with nine claws had already landed on the ground with a loud bang, causing the ground around it to tremble violently.
At that moment, the Fire Demons could clearly see that the gigantic creature's body was actually of two colors. One side was white, while the other side was black. It also had two big heads. They had never seen such a creature before. If it were not for the intense extreme yang and yin flames on its body, these Fire Demons would have probably thought that an enemy had invaded.
The first two creatures that jumped off the back of the gigantic creature made the Fire Demons heave a sigh of relief. They were two behemoths that were six meters tall and looked almost identical to them. The patrolling Fire Demons were only about four meters tall, which was much smaller than the two fellows that had landed. Upon seeing them, the group of Fire Demons hurriedly withdrew their auras and knelt on one knee at the same time. They said respectfully, "Greetings, Lord Overlord."
Yes, the two gigantic creatures were also burning with golden and black flames. Among the Fire Demons, those that were over five meters tall could be considered Fire Demon Commanders, those that were over six meters tall were Overlords, and those that were over eight meters tall were Great Overlords. The most powerful Fire Demon King was a powerful existence that was over 10 meters tall.
What made the Fire Demons bewildered was that the Flame Overlord and Dark Flame Overlord completely ignored them after they landed. Instead, they moved to the side and knelt on one knee as if they were welcoming something. Then, 10 people jumped off the back of the gigantic creature.
The person in the lead was completely covered in red armor, and the sinister aura of the armor was contained within. Not a single bit of Mana fluctuation could be felt from his body. Of course, the Fire Demons weren't stupid enough to think that this was a weak lifeform. Only the powerhouses of the Core World could calmly come to the fifteenth floor of the Core World. Apart from the three great clans, the other races had to be at least Overlord rank or above to be able to come here temporarily.
The nine people following behind this person were all covered in a layer of crystal-red rocks that looked like armor. They clearly looked like fire puppets.
Could it be that this person is a puppet king? But why does the armor on this puppet king look so strange? Besides, the overlord of the Fire Demon Race shouldn't be leading the way personally!
Living puppets lived on the second floor of the core, and they were ranked fourth or third in the entire core world. They were considered a relatively powerful race. Fire puppets were very close to the Fire Spirit Race because their form of existence was somewhat similar to the Fire Spirit Race. However, the Fire Spirit Race had powerful souls that could directly attach themselves to the fire element through their souls, while the Fire Puppet Race had to attach their souls to some crystals in order to continue living. Their bodies could come in many forms, and the Fire Puppet Race was most used to imitating the appearance of the humans in the outside world. They were a race that was purely proficient in mental strength.
The armored person who seemed to be the puppet king waved his right hand, and a crack suddenly appeared in the air. The huge creature that carried them here earlier roared in a low voice, and disappeared into the crack with a flash. The Fire Demons could not help but feel apprehensive when they saw this scene.
In the core world, only the patriarchs of the top 10 races could have mounts. If the patriarchs of the other clans, even the core elders, used mounts, it would mean that they were provoking the patriarch of the top 10 races. This was one of the biggest taboos in the core world, and nobody dared to violate it easily. Since this guy who seemed to be the puppet king dared to do this, he must be confident that he was strong enough. In the past celebrations, there had been races that suddenly erupted and displayed powerful strength, causing the ranking of the entire race to rise, and even the entire race to migrate to a better level. Could it be that the puppet race was going to erupt this time?
The Fire Demons let their imaginations run wild, but they dared not neglect their responsibilities. The leader of the Fire Demons strode forward and stopped 20 meters away from the creature in red armor. He looked at the two Fire Demon Overlords beside him with some fear, and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency, please show us your token."
The 15th floor was not only where the three powerful races lived, but also where the headquarters of the Holy Church of Flaming Bar was located. If other races wanted to come here, they would have to show the token issued by the Holy Church. Otherwise, they would be treated as invaders, and they would have to bear the wrath of the three powerful races no matter who they were.
The people who suddenly appeared on the 15th floor were none other than Ji Dong and his companions. It had been a month and a half since they left the territory of the Fire Raven Race on the second floor of the core world. During this month and a half, they did not rest at all and saw too many things in the core world. When they encountered the Fire Puppet Race on the 12th floor, they excitedly decided to pretend to be from the Fire Puppet Race and attend the celebration this time after careful consideration. This way, they could conceal their identity as Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples as much as possible.
A total of 11 golden tokens flew out and stopped in front of the Fire Demon at the same time. This control caused the golden flames on the Fire Demon's body to jump. It was surprised that from the moment Ji Dong appeared until now, whether it was when he opened up the space to take away his mount or when he tossed the token in front of it, there was not the slightest bit of mana fluctuation from his body. Just how powerful must one be to be able to do this?
The Fire Demon's soul undulations clearly became more respectful. After checking the tokens in front of it one by one, it took a step back respectfully and said, "Respected Lord Puppet King, are there 11 people from the Fire Puppet Race participating in the celebration this time?"
Ji Dong nodded his head indifferently. His soul undulations were transmitted, and he did not answer the question. "Can we go now?"
"Of course." The Fire Demon hurriedly retreated to the side respectfully and did not dare to ask anymore. After all, it was not the first time he had seen such a situation. It was common for powerful races to snatch the tokens of the patriarchs of the weaker races in the core world. In the words of the Fire Demon King, the weaker races were not qualified to participate in the celebration. Even if they really came, they would not be able to survive on the 15th floor of the core world. Hence, they might as well let everyone fight for the tokens. The more tokens they obtained, the more powerful the race was.
The Fire Spirit King felt very helpless about this. According to the rules of the Saint Flaming Bar, although other races could not easily come to the 15th floor of the core world, the three major races could not leave this place easily either. Therefore, the Fire Spirit King was powerless to do anything. In the most excessive celebration, a race actually brought 43 tokens to participate.
Although it was rare for Ji Dong's group to come with 11 people, it was not a big deal. As for the two that Ji Dong summoned, they were from the Fire Demon Race, at least on the surface. Naturally, they did not need any tokens to enter the 15th floor.
Before Ji Dong came here, he had already inquired about the situation here from the other Geocentric Races. Unfortunately, he had overlooked something, and that was that the Fire Demon Clan could not leave the 15th level easily. Therefore, as soon as they left, the Fire Demons in charge of patrolling immediately split up and returned to the Fire Demon Clan's castle to report.
In the distance, the three castles were already in sight. When Ji Dong was on the 10th floor of the core world, he heard that there was a Fiery Lotus Race in the core world, which really made him see the hope of resurrection in the Flaming Bar. The Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples were naturally happy for Ji Dong. Only Chen Sixuan sighed helplessly in her heart. Silly Ji Dong, in fact, I'm right by your side. Why do you need resurrection?
Due to the existence of the Fiery Lotus Race, Ji Dong immediately decided to go to the Fiery Lotus Race's castle as soon as he arrived. However, he was in a dilemma now. Which is the Fiery Lotus Race's castle?
There were three more days before the ceremony for the selection of the acting leader of the Flaming Bar Holy Church would be held in the Fire Demon Race's castle. Before that, Ji Dong decided to go to the Fiery Lotus Race's castle to take a look.
Through their understanding and investigation of the core world, the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples discovered that the lifestyles of the creatures in the core world after the 5th floor were somewhat similar to what humans had imagined. They also had their own society. However, the difference in levels was extremely obvious. Many places had specialized trading centers. Without a doubt, the 15th floor of the core world was the highest trading center in the entire core world.
In fact, one of the reasons why the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples came to the core world was to fulfill the conditions set by the foolishly rich Chamber of Commerce. If they could directly buy the gems on the 18th floor here, they would not have to take the risk, and it would naturally be easier for them to leave this place.
After a brief discussion with his companions, Ji Dong decided to bring everyone to a random castle, and then inquire about the location of the Fiery Lotus Race's castle. After all, the 15th floor of the core world was not that big.
The rich fire element made Ji Dong feel so comfortable that he almost moaned. Ever since he entered the core world, he had been working hard to control his Saint-leveled soul. Even so, his mana, which had reached 8 crowns, had actually evolved to level-84 in just three months. It could be seen how beneficial the core world was to fire element magic masters. However, as they ventured deeper into the core world, Ji Dong realized that the core world was indeed not something that humans could contend against. In the human world, level-10 divine beasts were extremely rare, and it was the same for powerhouses with 9 crowns. However, in the core world, just the entire Fiery Lotus Race was a powerhouse above level-10. If the core world launched an attack on the surface world, perhaps even the combined forces of the Radiance Continent and the Darkness Continent might not be able to stop it. Therefore, the core world could not fall into chaos. If it was ruled by some ambitious person, who knew if they would launch an attack on the surface world in the future?
