Chapter 168: Arrival and Flame-Frost Plane

Seeing him like this, Wei Aola waved her hand with a smile again: "But you don't have to worry too much. Although there is no detailed explanation, basically, wizards who can issue tasks at the intersection point are all to conquer the plane and use it as their own wizard tower. Being able to be used as a wizard tower by wizards shows that the plane encountered this time is a world with relatively orderly rules."

The so-called relatively orderly rules are different worlds where plane rules are relatively similar to the native planes where wizards live.

Although there are many differences in details, they generally follow certain laws, such as the Elosia plane group.

What is more troublesome is the kind of plane where rules are too special. The non-combat attrition of wizards during the conquest process basically dies in this kind of situation.

Planes like the Shadow Plane that Jie Ming heard about back then are relatively special planes. Wizards will suffer constant damage even if they just stay in the Shadow Plane.

The value of the two types of planes is not very easy to analyze. For individuals like high-tier wizards, the value of rule planes is higher, while for a wizard force, the value of special planes might be a bit higher.

As the two were talking, suddenly, the entire plane shook violently!

A clicking sound came from the ground under their feet, seemingly subjected to pressure that was difficult to bear.

Jie Ming immediately saw that the desolate sky above his head was suddenly torn apart by a huge crack; that was the real crack where the plane barrier was torn open!

The other side of the crack revealed eerie scenery, with various peculiar substances surging within, filled with completely unfamiliar elemental fluctuations.

"We have arrived!" Wei Aola's voice became solemn.

Seeing this, other wizards also entered a combat state one after another. Jie Ming could clearly feel that in just a fleeting moment, the atmosphere of all the wizards in the entire plane had become different.

The destination had arrived!

In the infinitely vast chaotic void, there is a brilliant and peculiar plane, called the "Flame-Frost Plane" by the living beings on it.

This world, from the beginning of its birth, was endowed with extremely unique landforms and ecology.

Half of the entire plane is bathed in the eternal strong light of the projection of the fire elemental plane.

This place is equivalent to having eternal daylight; the scorching light evaporates all moisture, and the air is filled with the smell of sulfur and roasting.

On the land where no grass grows, there are red, hot sand and jagged, scorched black rocks everywhere, and active volcanoes emitting thick smoke rise one after another, like pus sores surging on the earth, which may spew out lava that destroys the world at any time.

The temperature here is extremely high, enough to easily melt steel.

This area was named "Flame-Sun Realm" by the local living beings.

In sharp contrast to the Flame-Sun Realm is the other half of the plane, which is soaked forever by the endless gloomy light of the projection of the water elemental plane.

This place is in eternal darkness, with only ice and snow, and the cold wind is bone-chilling.

Heavy snow falls incessantly, dyeing the world into a piece of pure white, and the bone-chilling cold wind howls, freezing all living things.

Except for peculiar plants that emit faint fluorescent light in the cracks, there is no light.

This place is called the "Frost-Dark Realm."

And lying between the two extreme worlds like a scar is a huge and ancient mountain range.

This mountain range is not composed of ordinary rocks, but crystals and mineral veins formed by the violent collision and fusion of two elemental energy systems, filled with violent and chaotic energy fields.

Only a very small number of living beings that have evolved specially dare to set foot in it.

This mountain range is the natural dividing line between the Flame-Sun Realm and the Frost-Dark Realm, and also a buffer zone for two extreme civilizations.

On such a unique plane, two completely different intelligent living beings were naturally born.

The ruler of the Flame-Sun Realm is a type of extremely huge lava giant.

Their bodies are composed of flowing lava cores and solid volcanic rocks, their skin presents a lava-like crimson red, their body surfaces emit astonishing heat all year round, and their eyes are like burning volcanoes.

They are infinitely powerful, can easily move hundreds of tons of rocks, and are naturally immune to fire and high temperatures.

Their civilization is built around volcanoes, feeding on lava and using fire as power.

And the ruling living beings of the Frost-Dark Realm are those snow-monster-like creatures covered with long white hair like frost and snow, looking like a combination of a horse in the lower body and a bear in the upper body.

They are physically strong, their four hooves step on snow without leaving traces, their dog ears are sharp, and their bear arms are full of explosive power.

They are naturally adapted to extreme cold, can absorb the power of ice elements, and can even devour darkness.

Their civilization is established in the depths of glaciers, living in huge ice caves or castles carved from ice and snow, feeding on frozen creatures and using cold ice as power.

Lava giants and snow monsters, these two completely different yet equally powerful creatures, have continued in the Flame-Frost Plane for countless years.

They look down on each other, and from the beginning of their birth, they started a war for the dominance of the world.

Cruel wars have continued for countless years near the intersection mountain range, and blood and fire, ice and snow, and wailing have intertwined into the main melody of the Flame-Frost Plane.

However, despite constant conflicts, neither side has ever been able to truly defeat the opponent.

The reason is simple—both sides cannot adapt to the other's environment.

Once a lava giant leaves the scorching environment of the Flame-Sun Realm, its body will gradually cool down and its movements will become slow.

And when a snow monster steps into the Flame-Sun Realm, it will be injured due to extreme high temperature, and its life force will pass away rapidly.

This makes their wars, no matter how tragic, always confined to the vicinity of the intersection mountain range, unable to strike deep into the opponent's core territory.

This stalemate has been maintained until now.

At this moment, in the most core area of the Flame-Sun Realm, located on the top of a giant active volcano over ten thousand feet high, in that palace surrounded by infinite lava, a huge bubbling sound came.

Scorching high-temperature steam permeated the palace, forming streaks of twisted phantoms.

The core lava pool of the palace is the private place of the lava giant king, and the lava temperature is as high as several thousand degrees, enough to instantly melt metal.

A lava giant over ten meters tall is comfortably soaking in it, treating the entire lava pool as the most comfortable hot spring.

Boiling lava flows on his body, nourishing his body, making a pleasant sizzling sound.

He closed his eyes tightly, enjoying this extreme comfort and power.

He is the king of the Flame-Sun Realm, the powerful Tier 6 living being Calamos, ruling over millions of lava giant legions.

Suddenly, a sound of anxious and hurried footsteps broke this tranquility.

A lava giant serving as a guard broke into this private palace with a rumbling sound, his body emitting more irritable heat than usual.

"King! Heaven and earth are changing!" The guard giant's huge roar carried uncontrollable terror.

Calamos slowly opened his eyes, and two irritable gazes shot toward the guard. His voice was like the low roar before a volcanic eruption: "What is the matter, so noisy!"

"King! The sky... the sky has been torn apart!" The guard giant pointed to the ceiling of the palace tremblingly. "A huge pitch-black crack! We observed... observed that in the very center of the crack, there is also a yellow rock that looks like a circle!"

Because of the difference in distance, the guard giant naturally could not accurately judge the size of the ship plane, subconsciously treating the plane projection as a rock.

In his view, this scene was like a giant pitch-black eye suddenly appearing in the sky, and that yellow rock was the pupil of this eye, staring at their world!

"What kind of messy thing is this?!"

King Calamos showed an irritable expression upon hearing this.

He stood up abruptly, lava falling from his body with a splash, splashing on the ground, making a harsh hissing sound, instantly covering the floor of the palace.

Unable to listen to the incoherent words of his guard, the lava giant Calamos simply decided to see the truth for himself.

He raised his hand and blasted open the ceiling of the palace. With countless gravel and magma falling like raindrops, King Calamos's huge figure shot straight into the sky, directly exposed under the scorching sky of the Flame-Sun Realm.

His huge lava eyes stared fixedly at the pitch-black "eye" above the sky mentioned by the guard.

That spatial rift was indeed so huge, almost spanning half the sky, while the "ship" plane suspended in the center of the rift appeared a bit smaller in size.

It blocked part of the scorching light, bringing a piece of shadow to the ground below.

King Calamos was horrified to find that the huge rift, plus the "rock" like an "eyeball" in the center, was even larger than the dazzling sun that always hung high in their sky!

Such a strange phenomenon had never happened in tens of thousands of years!

A sense of crisis never felt before surged in King Calamos's heart.

"Prophet! Immediately! Come see this King!" He issued a roar that resounded throughout the Flame-Sun Realm.

Not long after, his chief prophet, a withered lava giant with ancient runes all over his skin, hurried over under the escort of guards, trembling.

He pressed his lava hand on the king's chest, closing his eyes to sense the heaven and earth anomaly.

A moment later, the prophet opened his eyes suddenly, his gaze full of fear.

"King... King!" The prophet's voice was old and trembling. "The ancient prophecy... is true. A few days later... enemies will descend from the sky... they will... tear our world apart!"

"Enemy?!" King Calamos was furious.

The first thing he thought of was his long-time enemy, that group of "white-haired monsters" in the Frost-Dark Realm!

Those cold creatures had been trying every means to erode the Flame-Sun Realm for countless years.

"This must be a trick played by that group of damn white-haired monsters! They want to use this kind of trick to launch a surprise attack on our world from above!" King Calamos roared.

Magma rolled out, dripping from his body along with his rage.

He didn't hesitate at all, his huge body shook violently, and then he issued the most urgent order: "Pass my order! Assemble all legions! Prepare for battle! Gather at the intersection mountain range! We will burn these white-haired monsters who try to sneak attack from the sky into ashes!"

At the same time, at the other end of the Flame-Frost Plane, the Frost-Dark Realm shrouded in eternal darkness also discovered this earth-shattering anomaly.

Inside a huge glacier in the depths of the plane, in the core of the magnificent ice crystal royal court, that cold lake carved from ten-thousand-year ice, the huge "Snow Monster King" Agron also learned the same information from the guards.

Undoubtedly, he also made the same reaction as the lava giant Calamos.

"Assemble all clan warriors! Assemble the legions!" King Agron roared, his roar echoing in the glacier, triggering a sound like an avalanche. "Prepare for battle! We will bury these stones that dare to invade from the sky under our ice and snow forever!"

"Summon all clan warriors! Assemble the legions!" King Agron roared, his voice echoing through the glacier and triggering a sound like an avalanche. "Prepare for battle! We shall bury these stones that dare to invade from the sky beneath our ice and snow forever!"
