The Fire Elemental Plane.
It was a raging sea of fire.
The boundary between heaven and earth was no longer clear, and the entire world had turned into a huge burning furnace.
Since the Fire Elemental Plane was a pure fire elemental world, it was naturally impossible for other elemental particles such as earth, water, and wind to exist. Hence, the basic outline of this world was made up of fire elementals that had temporarily changed their forms of existence.
Materialized fire elementals could be seen everywhere in the Fire Elemental Plane, and fire elementals were everywhere. However, if one were to look at the entire plane, the distribution of fire elementals was still uneven.
The areas with 'thinner' fire elementals were naturally the barren and desolate areas within the plane. Any area with a higher concentration of fire elementals would be directly occupied by powerful fire elemental creatures. Although fire elemental creatures had no desires, and did not have the treacherous thoughts of other intelligent races that fought for power, their instincts to become stronger still dominated their simple yet violent minds.
It was universally acknowledged that fire elemental creatures were the most violent of the four major elemental creatures, and they were also the branch that loved to fight the most.
The Sea of Ashes was also a relatively well-known place in the Fire Elemental Plane. Nearly ten thousand miles of the plane had been burned into nothingness by a terrifying flame, and the areas adjacent to the Sea of Ashes naturally became the ideal residences for fire elementals.
And the one that resided in the depths of the Sea of Ashes was the level-5 Flame Monarch Gromus.
At this moment, at the edge of the Sea of Ashes, a 5-meter-tall Lava Humanoid swayed its heavy body as it arrived in front of an old and unadorned altar.
As soon as it stopped, five mysterious guards surrounded by greenish-white flames suddenly appeared around the altar steps that were originally empty.
"Halt! This is the chamber of the Flame Monarch Gromus. State your purpose for coming here! "
These mysterious Flame Monarch Gromus were less than three meters tall, and did not look particularly impressive. They were far less burly than the five-meter-tall Lava Fireman in front of them, but the difference in strength between them was like heaven and earth.
The Lava Fireman was only level-2, but these five mysterious Flame Monarch Gromus had the terrifying strength of level-3. If they were to really fight, the Flame Guards would not even need five seconds to tear this big guy who did not know how to conceal his aura into pieces.
"Esteemed Flame Guards, I'm one of the lords under the great Flame Monarch Grooms. I'm here to seek an audience with you!" the Magma Fireman said in a low, muffled voice.
"You're here on the Lord's orders? Wait a moment, we will personally verify it with Milord! "
After saying that, the leading flame spirit turned around and knelt in front of the ancient altar. It began to silently communicate with a powerful existence far away.
A moment later, Flame Spirit stood up and said in a deep voice, "I've communicated with Sir. You're telling the truth. You can go in now!"
Immediately after, the five flame spirits stood on the five nodes that extended from the ancient altar and channeled their energy into the altar.
The earth trembled slightly.
Not far behind the altar, the turbulent sea of fire was suddenly pushed aside by a strange force, revealing a clear area that led straight to the depths of the sea of fire.
"Go in! Remember, don't touch these flames, or else … "
Although the flame spirit did not finish its sentence, the hidden meaning was obvious.
The lava man responded in a muffled voice and continued to move its huge body into the depths of the Sea of Ashes along the strange fire passage.
It was as if a layer of transparent glass had been installed around it. No matter how fierce the raging sea of fire was, it could not affect the Magma Fireman as it walked in the passage. On the contrary, through the transparent passage, the Magma Fireman could vaguely sense the terror and power of the sea of fire outside.
Although it had the strength of a Grade 2 Magma Fireman and had shockingly high fire resistance, it would not last more than 15 minutes in the sea of fire before being burned to a pile of ashes. It was no wonder that most of the laws in the Fire Elemental Plane would become chaotic and blurry in this place.
The sea of fire passage was very, very long …
The Magma Fireman walked for three days and three nights before reaching the other end of the passage. As soon as it emerged, it was completely stunned by the scene before it.
In the center of the Sea of Ashes was a huge, majestic, and strange palace. And this palace was floating above the sea of fire just like that, like a peerless ferocious beast that had gathered here, with its mouth wide open, quietly waiting for the lowly prey to deliver itself to its doorstep.
The main hall was supported by hundreds of thick stone pillars. Each of them was so thick that it would take five people to wrap their arms around it. Golden flames curled around the pillars, and strange flame runes would appear on the pillars from time to time.
A wooden palace and stone pillars. The Flame Monarch's style had indeed far exceeded the limits of the Magma Fireman's imagination. In the Fire Elemental Plane, it was difficult for any external matter to exist for a long time.
Therefore, although the wood and stones seemed inconspicuous, they were definitely rare treasures that the Flame Monarch had obtained from another plane. Otherwise, they would have long been burned to ashes in this terrifying place.
Even the Fire Elemental Creatures could not withstand the terror of the Sea of Ashes!
Under the feet of the Magma Fireman was a small stone platform that was less than a hundred meters wide. In the center of the stone platform, there was also a strange rune formation similar to the one on the altar outside. The stone platform and the tall palace in the distance were connected by a floating stone path that was less than ten meters wide. As far as the eye could see, there were as many as twenty to thirty stone platforms that were similar to the one under his feet in this vast space.
It was conceivable that these stone platforms were connected to different areas in the periphery of the Sea of Ashes. Only with the approval of the Flame Monarch Gromes could the Lords of the Flames have the chance to enter the Sea of Ashes and personally meet this legendary great existence.
The Magma Fireman calmed its emotions and walked along the 'path' in front of it towards the palace in the distance.
From afar, this strange palace did not seem big. However, once it arrived at the spacious and grand square in front of the palace, the five-meter-tall Magma Fireman instantly became a behemoth. It was like a bean sprout beside it, becoming inconspicuous.
At this point, it did not dare to take another step forward!
The Magma Fireman knelt on one knee and shouted with a deep and deep voice, "Mighty Lord Gromes, your loyal servant Artes has come to seek an audience with you!"
A moment later, a deep and sonorous voice suddenly reverberated in the world.
"Rise!"
This figure might not have been loud, but as it circled around the strange palace, it absorbed the abundant fire energy and became so majestic that it caused one's heart to palpitate.
"Mighty Lord Gromes, do you have any instructions for summoning me here?"
This was the nature of the Fire Elemental Creatures. They did not have so many superfluous formalities, nor did they have so many lies. Even someone as lowly as the Magma Fireman went straight to the point and asked for the master of the palace.
"Artes, I need you to kill a Magus!"
Hearing his master's order, the Magma Fireman Artes knelt on one knee again without hesitation, using a fiery tone to express his loyalty, "Mighty Lord Gromes, as long as you tell me the name of this Magus, I will lead the Flame Corps to kill him …"
"There's no need for you to go through so much trouble this time! All you need to do is stay in your territory, and there will naturally be a human Magus who will assassinate you. His strength is only at rank 2 … "
"… …"
Arthez raised his head. His giant face, which was made of lava and flames, was filled with confusion.
"You don't need to know why. All you need to do is stay in your territory obediently and kill the human Magus who trespasses into your territory. If you complete your mission, I will allow you to move from Fiery Dust Canyon to the Pillar of Ashes … "
The moment the sonorous voice left his mouth, Artes immediately revealed an expression of ecstasy.
The Pillar of Ashes was less than 300 miles away from the Sea of Ashes. It was an enviable place where the fire elemental energy gathered. Usually, only a rank 3 or 4 Lord of the Flames would have the chance to occupy such a territory and become an illustrious lord with real power.
"Understood, my master. Your loyal servant, Artes, will definitely complete the task successfully!"
"Now that you understand, leave! Remember, I'm waiting for your good news … "
As the sonorous voice gradually disappeared, the Lava Fiery Artes bowed once more before turning around and slowly walking back the way he had come.
After the Lava Fiery Fiery Man's figure completely disappeared from this strange world, the Flame Sovereign King Grooms' voice sounded once more.
"How is it? I've already delegated the task that you've given me. What about the thing that you promised me? "
A moment later, a strange, illusory female voice sounded in the air.
"When have I, Medusa, ever gone back on my word? Fire monster, the contract that we signed stated that I would only tell you the location of that item after the mission was completed. Now, the contract has not been completed, and you still have the cheek to ask me for something? "
"Hehehe … Old witch, do you think that there will be any unforeseen circumstances? He's just a rank 2 Magus … If he dares to trespass into our world, my subordinates will naturally find him and crush him to death. Do you really think that a rank 2 Magus can kill my subordinate, a rank 2 Lord of the Flames? Hahaha … If that's the case, you're really too childish … "
"I don't care what methods or methods you use. In short, you have to complete the task that I've given you. Otherwise, don't even think of getting the whereabouts of that item from me."
"Alright, alright … It's really troublesome to deal with you old witches. I'll take a nap first. Anyway, it's only a dozen or so years, and a short nap will pass. When the time comes, don't forget your promise … "
With that, the Flame Sovereign King's voice finally fell silent, and the cold female voice completely disappeared.
