Demon Fire Plains.
Across the plains, cracks thousands of feet long spread like gigantic centipedes. Waves of scorching heat rose from within them, leaving the entire region unusually dry.
These plains had naturally been created when the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame emerged two years ago. Back then, the layers of mountain ranges here had vanished in an instant, and the land had become a sea of magma. Later, however, as the Demonic Flame Space closed, the magma desert gradually solidified, eventually becoming these plains.
Ordinarily, a place ravaged by the Demon Flame would become exceptionally desolate.
But after an expedition discovered a type of Energy Crystal filled with violent fire energy in the Demon Fire Plains, the place immediately grew bustling.
These fire crystals filled with violent energy were called demonic flame stones, because they seemed to contain faint traces of Demon Flame energy. Although the lingering Demon Flame was extremely thin, diluted thousands of times over, it was an absolute treasure to experts who cultivated fire attribute Dou Qi.
As long as they could absorb the energy within these demonic flame crystals, not only would their Dou Qi become immensely powerful, even the flames summoned by Alchemists would grow far stronger than before. Thus, during the year since the Demon Fire Plains appeared, numerous factions had entered the region to divide up its demonic flame stone resources.
As the strongest faction in the Central Plains, the Underworld Alliance was naturally among them. A terrifying superpower that had destroyed the Soul Hall, the Underworld Alliance naturally occupied the region richest in resources. Given its strength, the other factions would never dare make a move, no matter how envious they were.
With the Soul Hall gone from the Central Plains, the Underworld Alliance now reigned supreme over the Central Plains Continent.
