Only tribulations could bring true growth to a person!
The edge of the lava sea was filled with boundless fire energy, and it did not just provide Grimm with fire elemental energy. His affinity with fire was like a fish in water here, allowing him to feel the progress of his Physique of Flame at all times.
If not for the A.I. Chip in his mind constantly updating the progress of his Physique of Flame, Grimm would not have been able to endure the burning pain and would have chosen to give up.
Ever since his Physique of Flame had stopped progressing in the Dark Crypt Crimson World, under the impact of the even more violent fire energy this time, the progress of his Physique of Flame, which had been stuck at 17%, skyrocketed, leaving him in a state of pain and happiness!

The strengthening of his innate fire elemental energy also led to the evolution of his body. Some of the organs and flesh that were not compatible with his innate fire elemental energy were burnt to ashes by the surging fire elemental energy. New parts of his body quickly regenerated under the support of the powerful energy, replacing the old organs.
This process was originally chaotic, and he relied on his body's instincts to carry it out. However, with the A.I. Chip's fine control and control of his body, Grimm was able to ignore the intense pain of his body and focus on the balance between the rate at which the fire elemental energy entered his body and the rate at which his body regenerated.
Although it was good to evolve both his spirit and body, he needed to grasp the appropriate degree. Without a strong physique, normal acolytes would not be able to withstand the violent transformation of their bodies. Hence, after soaking in the lava sea for half an hour, the progress of his Physique of Flame rose from 17% to 23%, and Grimm had no choice but to give up.
When he climbed to the top of the cliff that was piled with rubble, boiling hot lava flowed down his body, burning the volcanic rocks under his feet and making sizzling sounds. After the lava flowed down, an ugly body of black and red was revealed.
The black part was the charred skin, which began to peel off and fly in the air in the terrifyingly high temperature. The red part was the regenerated flesh, which was exposed to the high temperature. However, it was obvious that his resistance to fire was much higher than before.
Although the body of the past was part of Grimm's body, it was not completely compatible with Fire Elemental energy. Now, after being transformed by the abundant fire energy and combined with his powerful flesh regeneration ability, he had formed a body that was most compatible with his innate ability.
However, such a body transformation couldn't be accomplished overnight!
Grimm's physique was still too weak. If the transformation was too fierce, it would easily cause his entire body to lose balance and collapse. That was why he only tried it briefly. The moment the A.I. Chip detected that his physical body had reached its limit, it sent him a warning of danger, and he immediately stopped the training of the Body of Flame.
At this moment, his body looked a little thinner than before, but he seemed more capable. However, compared to the glory on the surface, his internal organs, bones, and tendons were already covered in cracks and hidden injuries of various sizes. Before his body's injuries were healed, he had to temporarily stop this overly wild body modification.
After stopping by the shore for a while, Grimm waited for himself to adapt to his new body. Only then did he put on his clothes, and without looking back, he entered the densely packed lava tunnels on the walls.
About half an hour's journey away from the Lava Sea, Grim found a semi-sealed Fiery Lava Cave. He made some simple modifications to it and turned it into his temporary camp. During this period of time, he would probably have to stay here day and night, waiting for his body to recover.
He released a rock python and had it use its thick body to block the only entrance. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about being ambushed while he slept. The rock python's body was made of rock anyway. As long as it curled its body and suppressed the undulations of its consciousness, it would be able to deceive people by pretending to be a wall.
In a depression in the middle of the cave, Grimm took out a pile of flint to use as fuel, and began to cook a magic energy meal. Since they were both fire-type magical beasts, Grimm's stomach rumbled with hunger after a simple barbecue.
It had to be said that with the improvement of his physique and strength, some of the overly tough and sour magical beasts' flesh had also become part of his diet. Although his cheeks would ache for a long time after he finished eating and drinking every time, he felt that his cheeks would ache for a long time. Although his cheeks would ache for a long time after he finished eating and drinking, he felt that the pain was worth it!
After finishing the magic energy meal and gulping down a gallon of clean water, Grimm lay down on the blanket in satisfaction and fell into a deep sleep. This time, he did not meditate. His broken body could not withstand any more changes, and the only thing he needed the most right now was pure sleep without any worries!
While he was in a good sleep, he did not know that at this moment, an unforeseen event that was related to him was happening in the sea of lava.
At an unknown time of the day, an extremely strange warship floated over the sea of lava.
The reason why it was strange was because the warship was actually modified from a floating rock island. The rough and rough body of the ship looked ragged and did not have any sails. Tall figures could be seen on the ship.
It was a group of tall stone golems that resembled stone puppets. Their entire bodies were pieced together from extremely hard granite. There were many huge cracks on its thick, four-meter-tall body, and the scorching hot flames in its body spread out from these cracks, forming balls of terrifying flames of different colors on the surface of its body.
The protective flames of the mature ones were golden, while the young ones were bright red.
They had a humanoid body and four limbs, as well as an uneven head. However, their eyes, ears, mouth, and nose were not as orderly and smooth as humans'. Instead, they looked more like a messy lump of stone.
In the place of their eyes were two deep holes, and the light of magical gems could be vaguely seen in them. Their noses and ears were black beehives, while their mouths were cracks that stretched across their faces. If they were all opened, it would not be a problem to swallow a wild boar.
The mysterious warship traversed through the viscous slurry of lava agilely, avoiding the larger floating islands. As for the smaller rocks, they did not avoid them and directly smashed them into pieces, allowing them to become debris floating on the sea of lava.
From time to time, the tall giants on the ship bent down and reached their huge hands into the terrifyingly hot lava, scooping up magical gems or metal ores with a special elemental rhythm.
For the guardians that patrolled the sea of lava, not everything could catch their eye. Every item they scooped up would be held in front of their eyes and carefully appraised. Only those with good quality would be thrown into the cabin. There, the bottom of the huge warship was already covered with a thick layer of spoils of war.
As for the magical gems and metal ores of ordinary quality, the tall giants threw them back into the sea of lava, allowing them to melt into a part of the vast sea of lava.
The sea of lava was like a gigantic furnace, depositing all the dregs and waste materials to the bottom and raising the most beautiful treasures to the surface of the sea, waiting for the children of the sea of flames to appear.
As the children of the sea of fire that lived in the Volcano World, the Molten Core Giants were the natural rulers of this world. Not only did they have strong individual strength, but they also had extremely high intelligence and a relatively complicated social structure.
There were seven Molten Core Giants on this warship, two of which were wizards, and five of which were quasi-wizards. This meant that the basic configuration of a lava warship was two mature ones and five young ones.
The entire nest of the Molten Core Giants was on a ring-shaped island in the core of the sea of lava. To prevent human wizards from invading, they also formed four to five patrol teams that patrolled the sea of lava all day long.
Usually, when the volcano was erupting, their life would be slightly peaceful. However, once the volcano entered a temporary rest period, as the water level of the sea of lava continued to drop, the many tunnels that led to their nest would be exposed. Every time this happened, it was usually the time when human wizards would send their minions into the Volcano World.
The many fire creatures on the periphery were deliberately driven out by the Molten Core Giants to block the path of wizard apprentices. However, many times, some terrifying humans would still break into their home, steal the top-grade gourmet food (top-grade fire diamonds) that they had painstakingly collected, and kill their underage children.
Therefore, during the temporary rest period of the volcano, the Molten Core Giants would often be nervous and increase their patrol efforts.
This time, when the lava warship slowly moved along the edge of the sea of lava, a tall Molten Core Giant standing on the bow of the warship suddenly roared loudly.
"Stop the warship … Stop the warship … I smell humans! Stop the warship and check! "
With the efforts of the Molten Core Giants, the lava warship stopped near a pile of rocks on the shore.
Thump thump thump …
A few heavy and tall figures leapt onto the shore and began to search for the scent and other clues left behind by the humans.
Soon, the place where Grimm went into the sea and the place where he hid his clothes were found.
"Arug, it seems that another human has broken into our world! What should we do? "A young Molten Core Giant asked in a muffled voice.
One of the two adult Molten Core Giants rubbed his chin with a huge hand and a thoughtful look appeared on his face. In the end, he said decisively, "Send someone to report to the elder and ask him to send more people. We'll leave three to find the whereabouts of that human. Since he could break through the fire beasts in such a short time, he must be someone with ulterior motives. We can't let him wander around our world! "
The other adult Molten Core Giant said, "Then let me take two little guys! Those human wizards haven't invaded the sea of lava for many years. This time, it's very likely that it's another wizard apprentice. I can handle this kind of team! "
After the giant captain named Arug agreed, the Molten Core Giant raised his huge hand that was surrounded by flames and shouted softly, "In the name of the great Lord of Lava, my slaves, awaken!"
Following his loud roar, the heat waves in the sea of lava not far away surged. Twenty to thirty strong Lava Hounds crawled out and crowded in front of him.
"Go, my slaves, find that damned human for me!"
Hearing the command of the Son of the Sea of Flames, these Lava Hounds raised their necks and let out a sharp howl, rushing into the complicated lava tunnels.
