Chapter 772: The Sacred Land

“Control!”

Merlin immediately used Mind Power to control those three fighters who were on par with Honored Legends. Only then did Wizard Setoh stopped. He was frowning as he stared up at the sky. “Although this place is still influenced by the natural order, the power of the natural order is too faint... I suspect that there must be more to this world. It’s filled with signs that it’s a man-made world. This is likely to be a dimension created by a great ultimate existence!”

After seeing Merlin using Mind Power to control three Flare Region fighters, Wizard Setoh spoke in a low voice. This was the conclusion he had arrived at after many days of analysis.

“An ultimate existence can create such a peculiar dimension?”

Merlin was rather doubtful. By now, he had encountered quite a few ultimate existences such as the three Great Arcane Wizards, the two Rock Progenitors, the Lord God of Light, and so on. They were all truly formidable, able to mobilize the natural order’s power.

However, even such ultimate existences did not have the capability to construct such a unique dimension that could cut off the power of the natural order. Even though it was not completely insulated, at least it had blocked off a huge amount of the natural order’s power. Moreover, this dimension could produce so many powerful beings.

Most ultimate existence would not be able to do this.

Wizard Setoh glanced at Merlin then shook his head helplessly. “You’ve only seen a few ultimate existences. Among us three Arcane Wizards, Augustus is slightly stronger but none of us has broken away from the first-grade. The Lord God of Light, the two Rock Progenitors, and even the Titan Giant of the Giant Tribe – all are still first-grade ultimate existences.”

After a pause, Wizard Setoh seemed immersed in some distant memory, and continued. “Nonetheless, in the vast boundless Void Zone, although there aren’t many ultimate existences, there’s still a significant number. Once, when traveling around, we came across some remnants. You should know that ultimate existences don’t just stop at the first-grade. They can be divided into many more grades. For instance, we can now do nothing about a Slothful Beast but in an ancient era, there was even an existence who could kill the Slothful Beast. That was a true contender of the ultimate existences! However, for some reason, except for us first-grade ultimate existences, the others rarely appear in these times, and we haven’t even seen them. Still, I suspect that the Flare Region world is a dimension constructed by someone who far surpasses the ultimate existences’ first-grade!”

Wizard Setoh’s words made Merlin think of the Purple Emperor. Countless years ago, he had been one of the Thirty-six Emperors of the Void Zone. Perhaps that was the actual peak of ultimate existences.

Merlin did not continue tackling the peculiarity of the Flare Region world, and instead, told Wizard Setoh the things he had learned about the sacred land.

“Wizard Setoh, if we want to leave, I’m afraid we must cross paths with the sacred land. In that place, there might be beings superior to Honored Legends, on par with Lords. So we must be ready!”

Merlin said softly.

“Superior to Honored Legends, on par with Lords – those beings would be troublesome indeed. Even so, to return, we must come into contact with the sacred land no matter what. The uproar we’ve caused should be enough, right? Maybe we should wait longer...”

Merlin nodded. The entire Flare City was currently sealed off by Wizard Setoh. An event like this was momentous, and places nearby Flare City had already begun to notice.

Whether the sacred land would send someone, Merlin and Setoh did not know. They could only wait for now.

...

In the great yellow desert, a fiery red figure landed heavily on the sand.

“Bang.”

The figure had made “intimate” contact with the billowing yellow sand, cutting a sorry figure.

“D*mn it, what monster is this?”

This figure was foul-mouthed. He did not seem to be hurt, and quickly stood up, clasping both hands together.

“Boom.”

In that instant, the entire desert seemed to quake. A fire god-demon appeared behind him, exuding scorching heat just like the sun in the sky.

“I won’t believe that I can’t handle a monster like you after you’ve come into my territory.”

The giant fire god-demon gave a furious roar, and flew into the sky. Soon, he located the fearsome monster on the other side of the clouds of yellow sand.

This monster was so huge that it was hard to imagine. It was nearly as colossal as a country. Fortunately, this desert was vast, at least comparable to two or three countries, so it was able to accommodate this monster.

When the massive fire god-demon spotted this monster, he appeared delighted. Gradually, a fireball of extreme temperature was condensed. Even space itself was about to be incinerated.

“Wretched monster, go back to where you came from!”

The fire god-demon roared thunderously. Flames spurted out, rapidly shrouding the entire sky as they shot toward this monster. With such frightening flames, the fire-god demon was confident that he was unreservedly the strongest person in the entire Flare Region world. He was alone in his level of power. He did not believe that there was anything that could stop his attack.

“Sizzle sizzle sizzle.”

When the raging flames burned across the monster, something inconceivable happened. The monster seemed to feel nothing, still walking along leisurely, allowing the flames to burn upon its body for they could not even break through its skin.

“D*mn it, what monster is this?”

The fire god-demon started snarling once more, rushing to the front of the monster. His enormous frame was like a puny insect compared to the monster or even lesser than an insect. The monster was far too gigantic.

“Huff...”

The monster let out a gentle breath that sent the fire-god demon flying. He landed at a place of unknown distance which was even beyond the desert.

“My goodness, O’ Great Sir Flare Emperor, what creature have you brought in this time?”

The massive fire god-demon was racked with dry sobs. A few days ago, he had discovered that something had come sweeping in from outside the borders of the Flare Region world.

At once, he noticed this monster. Therefore, as usual, he got ready to seize this monster and throw it into the prison of the Flare Region world.

However, upon their first contact, this foremost contender of the Flare Region world, Flarite, found that he could not do anything to the monster. He thought of every method but this monster did not even respond to him. No matter how he attacked, he was powerless against it.

Luckily, this monster simply stayed in the desert and did not go anywhere. It did not seem aggressive and was not angry even after letting Flarite attack.

“Whoosh.”

Just as Flarite was preparing to chase after this monster, a figure who seemed to know Flarite came flying from the distance, shouting in panic, “Sir Flarite, something major has happened in the Flare Region world.”

“Something major? What is it?”

Flarite was now invested in this creature that he could not seem to injure no matter what, and he did not wish to pay attention to other matters. Furthermore, he did not care much about the entire Flare Region world.

“Sir Flarite, didn’t you ask us to keep an eye on the changes of the Flare Region world? A few years ago, the Flame Nation had split from the Flare Nation. We weren’t concerned then, but now, two mysterious individuals have appeared in the Flare Nation. In one move, they’ve defeated the four strongest contenders of the Flare Nation, then started out for the Flame Nation. I suspect that those two aren’t from the Flare Region world but were brought in by that previous storm.”

Flarite’s eyes brightened. “You mean those two came in with this monster? That’s something indeed. Perhaps they’ll know how to handle this monster... Very well, I’ll let this monster feel smug for a few days. We’ll meet with those two outer-region individuals.”

Flarite glared at that monster. He had no way to handle it. Now that he heard there were individuals “swept in” by the Flare Region world along with this monster, naturally, he was interested.

Thus, he brought this man with him, and headed for the Flame Nation.
