The Molten Crystal.
Grimm's eyes sparkled. He was pleasantly surprised to find the Molten Crystal in the pile of treasures the old fire spirit had taken out.
It was a rare level-4 fire-type material.
If he did not have the Divine Fire Bead, the Molten Crystal would have been Grimm's first choice to embed on the Flaming Coral Staff. But now … with a better one, Grimm would not turn back.
Seeing Grimm playing with the Molten Crystal with a thoughtful look on his face, the old fire spirit could not help but recommend it, "Your Excellency, you have a good eye. I found this Molten Crystal in the depths of the Sea of Ashes. It can increase fire damage by 12%, and it also comes with a Molten Shield with a defense of 900 degrees. It is a good level-4 fire-type material … "
However, the next moment, the old fire spirit's introduction came to an abrupt end. He stared blankly at the strange staff that Grimm had taken out from his dimensional pocket. The entire staff seemed to be made of a strange dark-red coral. The head of the staff had four arms of the coral twisting together, and a strange orb burning with golden flames was embedded in the middle.
The moment the Wizard Staff was taken out, the entire world seemed to have changed color, and the wind and clouds surged.
Under the guidance of a strange force, the dark-red, low-hanging fiery clouds above the cliff began to slowly rotate with the magic wand as the center. The funnel of the whirlpool kept moving downwards, as if it was going to merge with the Divine Fire Bead.
Even the old fire spirit sitting opposite Grimm suddenly became serious. He could feel the fire energy in his body becoming restless, as if it wanted to break out of his body and enter the embrace of the Divine Fire Bead.
After all, it was a level-5 divine artifact. Even though Grimm had tried his best to conceal it, its elegance and extraordinariness were still as dazzling as ever!
Grimm tapped the staff in his hand, and a majestic wave of fire swept out, instantly dispersing the strange phenomenon. The surging clouds in the sky roared angrily, and the terrifying sound waves reached hundreds of miles away, causing the whole world to tremble.
After Grimm put away his staff, the strange phenomenon slowly faded away. However, the terrifying roar that contained the will of the world was deeply imprinted in the old fire spirit's soul.
The old fire spirit let out a long sigh.
"I didn't expect you to have such a treasure on you … Looks like I've embarrassed myself today! I can't just accept your hospitality for nothing. I'll take this Molten Fire Crystal as payment for my meal. My name is Sean, and I live in the Raging Fire Domain not far away. If you're interested, you're welcome to be my guest there! "
"If there's a chance, I'll definitely pay a visit. I have to hurry on with my journey, so I won't be staying here any longer! "Grim refused politely.
The old Fire Spirit Cheyenne nodded silently. He put away the other treasures and tossed the Molten Crystal to Grimm. Then, he turned around and turned into a cloud of scattered flames, vanishing on the spot.
Grimm held the Molten Fire Crystal in his hand, feeling the pure and surging flame energy inside. He couldn't help but nod silently. This thing was no longer useful to him, but he could take it back and refine it into a Tier 4 Magic Puppet.
Although Grim had a powerful Shadow Fiend as his bodyguard and did not care about other Magic Puppets, it was still a good idea to have a few more Magic Puppets to throw out some Tier 4 Fire Spells in battle.
The Old Fire Spirit was an experienced Tier-4 Flame Creature, but it did not notice the Shadow Fiend hiding behind Grimm. This was the main reason why Grimm dared to venture into the Fire Elemental Plane alone.
If those ignorant fellows dared to cause trouble for him, Grim would definitely make them regret their choices. He had already healed his soul, obtained the Divine Fire Pearl, and secretly brought the Shadow Fiend with him.
It was because of this that Grim dared to show off his treasures in front of the old fire spirit. If the other party was greedy and dared to make a move, Grim could take the opportunity to collect a high-quality Fire Crystal Core!
The Fire Elemental Plane was more than ten times larger than the Magus World, and there were countless Fire Creatures living there. High-level creatures that were rarely seen in material planes could be seen everywhere.
Everywhere he went, there were countless Tier 2 and Tier 3 Fire Creatures wandering around aimlessly.
If Grim had the heart to hunt here, he would definitely return with a bountiful harvest.
Moreover, in other planes, such high-level creatures would not wander around alone. They were usually the leaders of small to medium-sized forces. Trying to deal with such a fellow would undoubtedly be like poking a hornet's nest. It would be so annoying that it would annoy you to death.
However, in the Fire Elemental Plane, there were many Fire Creatures who had Tier 2 or Tier 3 strength but were still ignorant and did not have the intelligence to match their strength.
Even the local intelligent races did not treat these brainless creatures as their own kind. They only treated them as walking Fire Element materials or resources. When needed, they would gather people to hunt them down. When not needed, they would be allowed to roam freely in their territory like wild monsters.
Grimm no longer had any use for these Grade 2 and Grade 3 'materials', but his followers still had use for them. The Rank 3 Fire Crystal Core was a great supplement for Meryl, who possessed the Red Dragon bloodline. Hence, every few days, Grim would make a move on the Tier 3 'wild monsters' he met along the way, collecting high quality Flame Crystal Cores one after another.
When Grim had just entered the Fire Elemental Plane, he had tried to contact his old friend, the Flaming Tiger Sindar. However, from the blurry response from the spell, Sindar was too far away, beyond the range of his fire spell.
Even with the help of the A.I. Chip, he could only get a rough direction and was unable to communicate with Sindar. Hence, Grim could only give up on the idea of visiting his old friend and focus on rushing to a predetermined location.
… …
The Sea of Ashes.
It had to be said that the Sea of Ashes was a forbidden area in the Fire Elemental Plane where powerful beings gathered.
Just like how the Material Plane separated the continents from the oceans, the Sea of Ashes was a barrier that separated the Fire Elemental Continents. This made it difficult for them to communicate and interact with each other, giving rise to different Fire Elemental Civilizations.
Although the Sea of Ashes was also burning with flames, its energy level was much higher than that of ordinary flames. If ordinary Fire Elemental Beings stayed in the Sea of Ashes for a long time, their flame cores would melt and they would lose their independent consciousness.
Only high-ranked Fire Elemental Beings could rely on the protection of the Law of Fire to avoid becoming fuel for the Sea of Ashes. Other Fire Elemental Beings kept a respectful distance, not daring to approach the Sea of Ashes at all.
Many Fire Elemental Lords and Monarchs would even build their palaces in the Sea of Ashes. This way, they could isolate themselves from the outside world and show their affinity with the Sea of Ashes.
The Flame Sovereign King that Grim was going to visit was one such strange fellow.
Even with Grim's vitality, he was slightly exhausted from the continuous Flame Teleportation and the tireless journey.
Finally, three months after entering the Fire Elemental Plane, Grim reached the edge of the Sea of Ashes, which was the entrance to the Flame Sovereign King Grooms' palace.
As soon as Grimm set foot on a strange flame altar at the edge of the Sea of Ashes, five Flame Guards surrounded by greenish-white flames appeared and blocked his way.
"Halt! Magus from another world, you have trespassed into the territory of the mighty Flame Sovereign King Grooms. If you refuse to back out, we will take the initiative to attack you! Please leave … "
These Flame Guards were only at Grade 3, but they were not afraid of Grim's spiritual pressure at all. Instead, they threatened him with their words, as if they would start a fight if they did not agree.
When the five Flaming Sentinels surrounded Grimm, several hidden spots nearby trembled. Flames surged, and murderous Flaming Legions emerged one after another, throwing their explosive aura at Grimm from afar.
If it had been Grimm at Grade 2 or Grade 3, he would have retreated in panic, his face pale and his lips pale. However, Grim had advanced to Grade 4, and such a 'small scene' could no longer intimidate him.
"Little fellow, don't be so impulsive! I came here because of your Sovereign King's invitation. I think it's best if you communicate with your superiors before deciding whether to take action or not! "
"Because of His Lordship's invitation?" The Flame Guards looked at each other, unable to make up their minds. However, one of the Flame Guards had a fiery temper and roared, "Inviting a human Magus? That's impossible! His Lordship hates you humans. Why would he invite a mere Grade 4 Magus … He must be lying. Let's take him down! "
Under its instigation, the rest of the Flame Guards also became restless. Some of them could not hold back and wanted to take action.
Grim's face instantly turned gloomy.
Grooms was at most a Grade 5 Flame Sovereign King. Even though he was a level higher than Grimm, he did not have any authority over him. Grimm was only here because he was interested in Grooms's' suggestion '. He was not here on a' pilgrimage '.
Therefore, the attitude of the Flaming Guards had undoubtedly infuriated Grimm.
With the protection of the Shadow Demon and the Divine Fire Orb, Grim was confident that he could escape from the Fire Elemental Plane back to his Wizard's Pagoda. Therefore, he couldn't hold back his anger. His heart was burning with anger, and the Rule Heart in his body began to stir restlessly.
"Stop!"
Right at this moment, a deep and low explosive shout suddenly resounded.
In the direction of the Sea of Ashes, raging flames raged. The sea of flames parted, and a gigantic Molten Giant walked out with earth-shattering footsteps.
