The Fire Elemental Plane.
At the edge of the Sea of Ashes.
This was a world of flames that was completely different from the material plane. Apart from the fire element, there were no other elemental particles.
The mountains, rivers, earth, and sky were all formed by special forms of fire element. Even a small patch of soil on the surface contained an impressive amount of fire element.
Most of the fire elemental creatures had no intelligence or consciousness. They were born in flames and wandered aimlessly in this fire elemental plane until their consciousness died …
Only those fire elemental creatures that had accidentally fused with the flames of the outside world and grew stronger could develop true intelligence. Hence, in the Fire Elemental Plane, fire elemental creatures that had extraordinary intelligence and could control their own lives were extremely rare.
The Elemental Plane was different from the material plane. It was almost completely open.
The four main elemental planes were like a public elemental domain. Spellcasters from any material plane could receive a response from the elemental plane through sacrifice, resonance, and exchange.
Just like the Flame Gate that Grimm usually cast, he could sacrifice a portion of his mental strength and fire energy to open a gate to the Fire Elemental Plane and recruit some elemental warriors to fight for him.
And this was the core content of most of the Fire Summoning Spells!
Today was another ordinary and peaceful day in the Fire Elemental Plane.
However, at the edge of the Sea of Ashes, a dense teleportation gate suddenly opened, and Grimm strolled out.
Different from the outside world, Grimm's spirit was roused the moment he stepped in.
In the air, rich and lively fire elements surged into his body like a tide, causing his human body, which had been suppressed for a long time, to burst into a pillar of fire that soared into the sky with a bang.
Grimm's body also expanded in the raging flames, only stopping when he was a hundred meters tall.
Apart from the changes in his body, the law of fire in Grimm's body was also stimulated by the dense fire element and materialized. Two different-colored flame halos vibrated around Grimm's body, continuously circling back and forth. Every time they intersected, they would sprinkle bits of magical radiance.
The law system hidden behind the Fire Elemental World was also triggered by Grimm's Law of Fire. Some unknown things were transmitted into Grimm's body through the chain of laws. At the same time, some of Grimm's unique laws were transmitted into the massive system of laws of the plane.
The two of them coupled and exchanged with each other, thereby triggering some changes in the Laws of Fire!
Ordinary creatures would not be able to sense this anomaly at the level of rules, but it could not escape the notice of the Flame Monarch, Gromus, who was just a wall away.
A majestic Flame Will crossed the air and collided with Grimm's consciousness.
Grimm let out a muffled groan, and the flames around his body dimmed. Then, under Grimm's urging, they suddenly shone brightly and withstood his opponent's' Barbaric Charge '.
"So it's you! I was talking about an inexplicable soul that popped out from there … Eh? You're already at level 5! " It was the consciousness of the Flame Monarch, Gromus, who had once fought with Grim. Its actions were rude and domineering, not because it had any opinions or hostility towards Grimm, but because it was an instinct of a flaming creature.
In other words, flaming creatures did not understand the meaning of the word 'gentle'.
If Grimm's spiritual force had not increased greatly after advancing to level 5, the power of Gromus' will would have caused his body to explode and his spirit to dissipate.
"Greetings, Lord Flame Monarch Gromus!" Although Grimm was of the same rank as Gromus, Gromus had advanced thousands of years earlier than him. This kind of long experience required a certain amount of respect.
"You human Magi may be short-lived, but I'm impressed by your passion for advancing … However, human, since you've reached level 5, you'll have to abide by the laws of the Fire Elemental Plane!" Gromus's resonant voice echoed in Grimm's mind.
"I was just about to ask Lord Flame Monarch, what do I need to pay attention to in this place?" Grimm lowered his posture and asked softly.
"There's nothing special you need to pay attention to. After all, you're all powerful beings who have surpassed the realm of extraordinary. As long as you don't invade the territories of other Flame Monarchs, you can do whatever you want here!" Gromus warned, "However, remember not to go within a hundred miles of the territories of other Flame Monarchs. Otherwise, you'll start a war between the Flame Monarchs!"
Grimm sucked in a breath of cold air. Only now did he realise why Gromus' will of flames had chased after him the moment he released his spiritual force.
"Seeing that you're an old acquaintance and have just entered the Fire Elemental Plane, I won't pursue this matter further." Gromus then passed over a large map of the Flame Monarch's territories and chuckled, "This is the distribution of the Flame Monarchs' territories within a million miles of the Sea of Ashes. You can find a territory that isn't under the jurisdiction of a Flame Monarch and settle down.
"Over there, you can take as many territories as you want as you want. However, don't slaughter the natives of the Fire Elemental Plane for no reason. Otherwise, once the will of the plane lists you as an unwelcome individual, you won't be able to make any more friends in the Fire Elemental Plane! "
Grimm nodded in silence.
He knew that Gromus was repaying him for the Divine Flamestone.
Although it had been a fair trade, Gromus had obtained the Divine Flamestone, and Grimm had obtained the knowledge to condense flames of laws. On the whole, however, the Flame Monarch Gromus had gained a 'small' advantage.
If Grimm was still that insignificant human Magus, the Flame Monarch Gromus would not have cared too much about this. Now that Grimm had become a rank 5 Magus that was on par with him, he had no choice but to treat him fairly and try his best to rope in this powerful Magus with great potential.
"Thank you, Lord Gromus. I'll contact you as soon as I've settled down!" Having obtained what he wanted, Grimm naturally could not wait to bid farewell to Gromus.
"Alright, I wish you all the best! I hope I'll still be able to sense your presence the next time I wake up … "Gromus replied in a low, muffled voice, and the enormous will of flames instantly dissipated, returning to the depths of the Sea of Ashes.
Elemental beings were all lazy fellows.
Their life dimensions were different from those of other planes. Even the most ordinary fire elemental could easily live for hundreds of thousands of years. A Flame Monarch like Gromus had a lifespan of more than a hundred thousand years.
Hence, their concept of time was extremely long and loose.
Their favourite way of making friends was to slowly observe and judge each other's character and character over thousands of years. In truth, ordinary beings of other planes did not even have the right to be friends with them.
In the eyes of elemental beings, one's vigorous life was just a small 'moment' when they took a nap or went on a journey. In the time it took for them to turn around, you would have already died of old age or illness. What right did you have to have a heart-to-heart chat with them?
Grimm had also reached rank 5, but his lifespan was only a tenth of Gromus'. Hence, Grimm was already overjoyed that Gromus was so 'friendly'.
After a few Flame Leaps, they left the Sea of Ashes and found a quieter place. Only then did Grimm quickly communicate with the A.I. Chip.
In the past, he'd thought he'd need to interrogate a few Flame Lords to obtain information on the internal geography of the fire elemental plane and the distribution of power. Now, he'd obtained it easily. Next, he naturally had to formulate an effective plan of action.
"A.I. Chip, show me the map that I just obtained …"
In the blink of an eye, an extremely large map was projected in his mind.
The entire map was drawn with the Sea of Ashes at the centre.
The Sea of Ashes stretched for hundreds of thousands of kilometres, occupying the centre of the map. It was marked red, and above it was the crown of Gromus' Sovereign. The surrounding two to three hundred thousand kilometres was marked yellow. This was the territory of Gromus' subordinates.
Gromus' territory covered an area of five hundred thousand square kilometres, and the area he ruled was equivalent to a third of the central continent Grimm was in.
It didn't sound like much, but you had to know that in the Fire Elemental Plane, there were hundreds of Flame Monarchs like Grooms … And this was the truest and most direct depiction of the power of the Fire Elemental Plane.
Two of the four corners of the map had been painted dark red. These were the territories of the Flame Monarchs Thanos and Zetas.
One was a rank 5, the other a rank 6, and they were powerful Lords that could not be provoked casually.
In that case, only the southwest and northeast directions still had large patches of green land. Those were scattered areas ruled by high, middle, and low level Flame Lords. If Grimm wanted to settle down soon, he would have to think about those rank 4 Flame Lords.
Southwest and northeast …
Grimm's gaze wandered between the two directions, and all he could see were completely unfamiliar names of places and overlords.
Firebird Peak — Lord Zamok (rank 4)...
Burning Harbor — Flame Spirit (rank 3)...
Giant Rock Mountain — Molten Giant (rank 3)...
Land of Light — Undying Bird (rank 3)...
… …
… …
It had to be said that the vastness of the fire elemental plane had given rise to a large number of Flame Creatures.
All kinds of fire creatures, races, and tribes occupied different regions, reproducing, living, and strengthening for generations.
The ones marked on the map were the large and medium-sized organisations of rank 3 and 4, and the smaller ones were ignored.
No matter how panicked Grimm was, he would not go after the smaller ones.
