Chapter 304: Chapter 304: Great Upheaval in the Fire Elemental Plane

WHOOSH!

Li Wei emerged from the Flame Sea and hurried onto the rocky nest.

It was the only solid ground.

He carefully took out the cracked Spatial Ring.

He checked the items inside the Spatial Ring.

A scorching light blazed from within, making it impossible to see clearly.

After a moment’s hesitation, Li Wei poured out everything inside.

’At least this way, I won’t be completely in the dark about what I managed to grab.’

Once he had emptied everything from the Spatial Ring, the surrounding temperature instantly skyrocketed.

A hot wind howled.

Only when the temperature gradually cooled and the light faded did Li Wei get a clear look at what he had.

Molten red mother copper.

Mixed within it were specks of white Earth Flowing Lava.

The red mother copper could actually prevent the Earth Flowing Lava from dissipating.

Upon discovering the red mother copper’s property, Li Wei’s eyes lit up. He immediately had a great idea.

He separated out the molten red mother copper.

He inevitably lost some Earth Flowing Lava in the process, but it was a necessary sacrifice to obtain even more.

Li Wei used Alchemy to forge the separated red mother copper into containers to hold the Earth Flowing Lava.

This way, he could obtain Earth Flowing Lava directly without having to hunt Fire Fish.

It would not only save a large amount of Earth Flowing Lava, but also increase his efficiency in acquiring it.

Earth Flowing Lava could be used to make a Secret Medicine that increased Mana; naturally, the more he had, the better.

Li Wei spent half a day forging two Red Mother Copper Vats.

Their shape was a bit crude, but they could reliably hold the Earth Flowing Lava.

He used some of the Earth Flowing Lava for a test.

He confirmed that the Red Mother Copper Vats could preserve the Earth Flowing Lava almost perfectly.

Without a moment’s delay, Li Wei took the two Red Mother Copper Vats and jumped into the Flame Sea.

He began scooping up the Earth Flowing Lava all around him.

GLUB GLUB GLUB!

Li Wei sensed something approaching.

He thought it was a Fire Fish and didn’t pay it much mind.

Only when a thick tentacle seized him did Li Wei realize this was no friendly creature.

Inside the Flame Sea, his Spiritual Power couldn’t be released, or it would be scorched.

Li Wei could only rely on the Flame Lord’s Flame Domain to observe objects within a thirty-meter radius.

The tentacle’s length already exceeded thirty meters.

When the tentacle grabbed Li Wei, he peered toward its end but still couldn’t see its owner.

Li Wei struggled with all his might to break free.

More tentacles descended from all directions, surrounding him.

Seeing this, Li Wei raced toward the source of the tentacles.

Only after getting closer did he finally see what kind of monster it was.

An enormous Flaming Jellyfish.

The Flaming Jellyfish’s bell exceeded thirty meters in diameter, with over a hundred tentacles, each one to two hundred meters long, trailing beneath it.

The tentacles acted like a net, ensnaring nearby creatures and pulling them into the Flaming Jellyfish’s body as food.

Li Wei had unfortunately entered the Flaming Jellyfish’s attack range and was now being treated as food by its tentacles.

The Flaming Jellyfish’s Level was very high.

It was at least a Tier Five Monster.

Each tentacle had its own independent consciousness.

It wouldn’t be easy to deal with, especially in the Flame Sea where many of Li Wei’s abilities were rendered useless.

Realizing this, his only option was to get away from the Flaming Jellyfish.

When the Flaming Jellyfish’s tentacles disappeared from his sensory range, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

’It seems there’s more than just Fire Fish in this Flame Sea. There are plenty of other monsters, too.’

The Fire Fish were merely the lowest life-forms here.

Li Wei considered himself lucky; so far, he had only encountered two types of Flame Creatures.

On the one hand, the Flame Sea was truly massive.

On the other, the Flame Creatures were quite scarce.

Their overall numbers weren’t small, but spread across the entire Flame Sea, the number of Flame Creatures in any given area was very low.

RUMBLE!

Not far away, Earth Flowing Lava erupted, and Li Wei rushed over at once.

The force of an Earth Flowing Lava eruption was immense.

Even a Tier Six Flame Creature would be in trouble if hit by one.

Therefore, only weak Fire Fish could be seen near the layer where the Earth Flowing Lava erupted.

Fire Fish had the ability to sense the eruptions, allowing them to avoid the danger and then consume the Earth Flowing Lava to evolve.

These evolved Fire Fish, in turn, became food for other creatures in the Flame Sea.

A food chain had taken shape within the Flame Sea.

The Earth Flowing Lava, which allowed Flame Creatures to evolve rapidly, supported this simple yet complex food chain.

Li Wei knocked a few nearby Fire Fish unconscious, then collected a glob of Earth Flowing Lava in a Red Mother Copper Vat.

Suddenly, an extremely powerful force struck him from behind.

Li Wei’s form was instantly blown apart by the terrifying impact.

Fortunately, he was in his Fire Elementalization state.

He was immune to physical attacks.

A moment later, the shattered Li Wei reformed and returned to his original state.

He looked back and saw the appearance of his attacker.

It was a Flaming Shrimp, over a meter long.

The Flaming Shrimp’s Super Bubble Bursting Fist could easily unleash enough Power to kill a Tier Five creature.

Aside from its incredibly terrifying Attack Power, the Flaming Shrimp’s other abilities were not strong, at best reaching the level of a Tier Three Magical Beast.

Therefore, the Flaming Shrimp was considered one of the most threatening Tier Four Magical Beasts.

Seeing that Li Wei was not dead, the Flaming Shrimp raised its highly threatening fist, preparing to launch a second attack.

Li Wei wasn’t about to give it a chance to attack a second time.

He used Fire Escape to appear behind the Flaming Shrimp.

The Flaming Shrimp slowly turned, intending to attack Li Wei.

Li Wei unleashed his potential, entering his secondary transformation—the Blue Fire State.

His fist punched straight through the Flaming Shrimp’s back.

The Blue Fire bored into the Flaming Shrimp’s body through the wound.

Even with its extremely high Fire Resistance, the Flaming Shrimp couldn’t withstand the intense heat erupting from within.

BANG!

The Flaming Shrimp’s body exploded, killing it instantly.

Li Wei obtained a rare Flaming Shrimp Demon Core.

He glanced around and felt that the number of nearby Flame Creatures seemed to have increased.

On second thought, he realized it wasn’t that the Flame Creatures had become more numerous.

Rather, he had entered an area where they were more concentrated.

Without realizing it, Li Wei had already traveled far from the isolated rocky nest in the Flame Sea.

WOOOOOO!

The sound of a conch shell horn reached him, and Li Wei instinctively turned to look.

He couldn’t see its source, only hear the incredibly piercing sound of the horn.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!

A few Fire Fish swam past, heading quickly in the direction of the horn’s sound.

Li Wei followed the Fire Fish for a while and discovered that many Flame Creatures were being attracted by the sound of the horn.

All of them were approaching the source of the sound.

A look of surprise crossed Li Wei’s face.

’What’s over there?’

To be cautious, Li Wei didn’t go to investigate the commotion, instead turning to leave in the opposite direction.

Emerging from the Flame Sea, Li Wei gazed into the distance.

He saw a pillar of fire shooting into the sky.

It was in the exact direction countless Flame Creatures were headed.

Li Wei grew incredibly curious. ’What’s happening over there?’

WHOOSH!

A giant shadow streaked across the sky—the Firebird Garuda was flying toward the pillar of fire.

Seeing this, Li Wei grew even more curious.

’I didn’t expect even the Firebird Garuda to go.’

He had a bad feeling and put as much distance as possible between himself and the Heaven-Reaching Fire Pillar.

Li Wei headed in the direction opposite the pillar of fire.

In any case, his goal was to survive until the ten days were over.

It didn’t matter where he went.

Li Wei had only taken two steps when his Magic Badge vibrated.

To ensure he could return in time, Li Wei had kept the Magic Badge on his person instead of storing it in his Spatial Ring.
