The Lord of the Boundless, the King of Elements, awakens from his slumber. The Chaos Continent that sheltered him begins to crumble, and countless shattered fragments combine to form a new body for the Lord of the Boundless.
In an instant, the entire Elemental Dimension, including the four collapsing planes, trembled simultaneously.
All elemental life forms that have not yet died, wherever they are, feel their energy core being tightened.
The four Elemental Lord simultaneously showed expressions of delighted excitement.
The laws governing the entire Elemental Dimension, which had been corrected by the Elemental Furnace, began to loosen and reverse, returning to their original state.
The "burning consumes itself" condition in the Fire Elemental Plane has been changed back to "burning requires fuel".
The "phase lock" on the Water Elemental Plane is beginning to be released.
The distortion of the wind and earth planes is also slowly recovering.
But the recovery process is extremely painful, like tearing more flesh apart when a wound is forcibly healed.
The entire Elemental Dimension, every region, was emitting painful groans.
The new body, like a pillar supporting the sky, stood tall in the center of the Elemental Dimension. The gaze of the Lord of the Boundless pierced through the ruins of the Chaos Continent and the barriers of dimensions, landing on the Elemental Furnace.
The moment that gaze fell upon the Elemental Furnace Elemental Furnace, the furnace temperature plummeted from four degrees Celsius. It wasn't that the furnace was cooled; rather, the concept of "temperature" was temporarily erased from the furnace's area.
The energy output of the Elemental Furnace instantly dropped to zero. This was not because it was exhausted, but because the "flow of energy" was prohibited.
The Elemental Furnace's presence began to blur, as the Lord of the Boundless, who controlled the power of the Elemental Dimension, questioned whether "this thing should even exist."
The clash of concepts is simple.
It's all about size and status.
The one with greater size and higher status will have the upper hand.
Without a doubt.
In this contest, the Lord of the Boundless surpass the Elemental Furnace.
But the Elemental Furnace has no consciousness, no fear, and will not back down.
It is simply executing the emergency protocol in the preset program:
[Power fluctuations exceeding the energy level range have been detected, confirming the awakening of the King of Elements, Lord of the Boundless.]
[Enable final solution: Existence Override.]
The Elemental Furnace began burning its own essential existence—a non-renewable resource, dwindling with each use—preparing for a final attack. It forcibly transferred its own "Federation creation" nature onto the King of Elements, attempting to "Federation" Him.
But just then--
That's enough.
A voice rang out.
That's not the voice of the King of Elements.
It was the voice of the Magic Pioneer, Dale.
The Magic Pioneer had appeared in front of the furnace at some unknown time, with his back to the furnace and facing the direction of the Chaos Continent.
He raised one hand and placed it on the surface of the oven.
"Cease the attack. Your mission is complete."
The Elemental Furnace obediently terminated the final protocol and entered standby mode.
The gaze of the Magic Pioneer pierced through the Void, colliding with that of the King of Elements in mid-air.
At the point where their gazes collided, space itself evaporated—not shattered, but evaporated, revealing a deeper, more fundamental "underlying reality" that wasn't even nothingness.
"Did you sleep well?" the Magic Pioneer asked casually. "Sorry to wake you, but you... are in my way."
From the depths of the Chaos Continent, the first words uttered after awakening were heard.
That wasn't language; it was a shrill cry of dimensional laws, the wails of billions of lost souls, and the accusations of ruined civilizations—a declaration of Destruction: "Pioneer... you dare invade the Elemental Dimension!"
The Magic Pioneer nodded calmly. "So? Are you going to surrender or put up a fight?"
Hehehe...
Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Boundless let out a roar of furious laughter.
He said nothing more, because at this moment, the situation was clearer than ever before: the Adrian Federation's covetousness of the Elemental Dimension was finally no longer concealed.
A major battle is about to break out.
Between the two, the Elemental Furnace floated silently, its body bearing some cracks.
So-called Miracle Creation cannot be destroyed, only within a limited scope.
Nothing is impossible in this world.
When power reaches a certain level, even Miracle Creation face the risk of Destruction.
"Pioneer." The voice of the Lord of the Boundless was not merely a sound, but a resonance of the entire dimensional laws. "You will know what the wrath of the Elemental Dimension truly is."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Lord of the Boundless, the King of Elements, didn't even move; he simply raised his left hand.
In his palm, countless naturally occurring elemental runes surged forth like a torrent, and all the mountains within the Elemental Dimension rose from the ground simultaneously, transforming into billions of floating giant peaks under the entanglement of the runes.
Each mountain peak burns with a different elemental fire: Crimson Flame Mountain, Frost Mountain, Thunderstorm Mountain, Poison Mist Mountain...
These mountains crashed down on the airspace where the Magic Pioneer were located like a torrential rain, each strike powerful enough to shatter the cosmic plane.
But the Magic Pioneer merely glanced at the overwhelming torrent of mountains, then extended his right index finger and lightly traced a line in the Void.
"Disperse."
A single word transformed into three thousand silver ripples that spread outwards.
Wherever the ripples passed, the mountains didn't shatter, but instead turned into countless specks of light. Crimson Flame Mountain became red sparks, Frost Mountain turned into blue ice crystals, Thunderstorm Mountain disintegrated into purple arcs of electricity... The entire attack transformed into a dazzling rain of light covering the sky.
The Lord of the Boundless once again pressed down with his right hand, causing all the oceans, rivers, and lakes within the dimension to simultaneously swirl upwards towards the sky.
There is heavy water, each drop as heavy as a star, capable of crushing the bones of a god.
The temperature is high enough to melt the terrifying sea of fire inherent in the law itself.
There is a celestial river of toxins that can even corrode the soul into nothingness.
There is also a frozen sea of ice and scales that freezes everything in time and space, bringing all things in the world to a standstill.
The confluence of the four seas forms a giant waterspout with a diameter of millions of miles. Its interior is characterized by disordered time, alternating hot and cold conditions, and distorted gravity, making it an ultimate strangulation force capable of shattering even concepts.
Faced with such a massive attack, the Magic Pioneer finally took a step forward.
A silver mandala flower bloomed in the Void beneath His feet. The flower quickly blossomed, each petal forming an independent barrier of laws.
The heavy water struck the barrier and suddenly lost all weight, becoming lighter than a feather.
The flames that consumed everything touched the barrier, and the flames burned in reverse, heading towards the Lord of the Boundless Being himself.
The soul-corroding, bone-shattering venom was transformed into a pure spring of life.
The frost-covered sea of scales melted on the barrier's surface, and the falling water droplets evaporated a thousand times faster than expected, before even touching the ground.
The Magic Pioneer stood in the center of the Mandala flower, untouched by dust, his gaze calmly fixed on the King of Elements, as if to say, "Is that all?"
The eyes of the Lord of the Boundless, the King of Elements, suddenly burst forth with light that pierced through dimensions.
"Then I'll show you... the true nature of dimensions."
The true form of the Lord of the Boundless was then completely unleashed.
After the Chaos Continent shattered, the true form of the Chaos Element evolved, which was already extremely large, but at this moment, its body is still expanding.
Countless elements decomposed and recombined, no longer in the form of giants, but transformed into dimensions themselves.
The skin of the Lord of the Boundless transformed into boundless earth, with mountains and rivers surging across its surface. His bones became pillars of law supporting heaven and earth, shimmering with primordial runes. His blood became a torrent of four-colored energy that pierced through dimensions. His consciousness spread to every inch of space, and every elemental particle became his eyes, his arms, his will... At this moment, the Lord of the Boundless was the Elemental Dimension, and the Elemental Dimension was the Lord of the Boundless.
The Space-Time of the Elemental Dimension began to collapse inward, like a giant hand grasping the palm of a hand.
Space is compressed, reducing a million miles to a mere centimeter.
Time is accelerated; one second outside is ten thousand years inside.
The laws were reconstructed, and all physical constants were modified to values that were absolutely disadvantageous to the intruders.
Existence was denied, and "outsiders should not exist" became a temporary rule; the bodies of the Magic Pioneer even began to become transparent.
This is the power and authority of the Elemental Dimension. Wherever the will of the dimension is covered, there is the absolute rule-maker, capable of easily erasing enemies from the conceptual level.
The overwhelming pressure finally brought a solemn expression to the face of the Magic Pioneer. He too ceased to maintain his human form, his body radiating a pure white light devoid of any attribute. Within this light, the illusory image of the Milky Way could be faintly seen flowing across his left half, with stars rising and falling within it. His right half revealed the essence of magic, bound by countless rune chains, and seven divine halos unfolded behind him. Each halos was a manifestation of a supreme law, and his eyes transformed into the pure color of Truth, as if they could see through to the very origin of all laws.
"Solidification!!"
The cool, clear voice emanated from the Magic Pioneer, and the entire collapsing Elemental Dimension suddenly froze.
It wasn't that time stopped, but rather that the concept of "change" was temporarily deleted. The collapse froze halfway through, like a scene that had been paused. The command to "continue the collapse" in the consciousness of the Lord of the Boundless could not be sent out.
The Magic Pioneer made a tearing motion with both hands.
The connection between the Lord of the Boundless and the Elemental Dimension was forcibly severed.
It's not a physical severance, but rather a redefinition of the fact that "you are you, and dimensions are dimensions."
The Lord of the Boundless and the Elemental Dimension, which had just been integrated, suddenly became two separate entities.
The Lord of the Boundless was forced to revert from his dimensional state back to his giant form, his face filled with disbelief.
The Magic Pioneer took seven steps forward, reciting a mantra with each step:
Step 1: "What is fire?" -- All flames suddenly become confused, forgetting how to burn.
Step Two: "Where does the water come from?" -- Flowing against the current, searching for a non-existent source.
Step 3: "Where is the wind going?" -- The storm has stopped, and the wind has lost its direction.
Step 4: "Can the earth Eternity?" -- The earth cracks open, questioning its own existence.
Step 5: "Which is real, light or darkness?" -- The light and shadow are uncertain, making it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
Step Six: "Is there substance to Void?" -- Space trembles, and the real and the illusory intertwine.
Step 7: "Elements... where do they exist?"
As the final step was taken, the four-colored lights representing the four basic elements on the Lord of the Boundless's body simultaneously went out.
It wasn't that his energy was depleted, but rather that the concept of "elements" had been temporarily sealed within him; he was now merely a massive, attribute-less aggregate of energy.
At the same time, the connection between the entire Elemental Dimension and the vast Void was severed in an instant, the balance of light and darkness was disrupted, and then both retreated, as if the Elemental Dimension was about to fall into absolute nothingness.
"Foolish fellow, Truth is always hidden in wisdom. Those who only know how to use instinct as a means of power will sooner or later be crushed by the power derived from wisdom."
In the Arcane Council Hall, the God of Wisdom, Angley, gazed at the Lord of the Boundless, who was being completely suppressed by the Magic Pioneer, and spoke these words as if in a low murmur.
His words resonated with the powerful figures present, who wholeheartedly agreed.
The reason why the Magic Pioneer was able to suppress the Lord of the Boundless so easily, and even incredibly sever the Lord of the Boundless's connection with the entire Elemental Dimension, is ultimately because his insight and understanding of the mysteries of the elements are far more profound.
This is the power of knowledge.
Only by relying more on instinct and the power of the Elemental Dimension can one unleash Eternity power.
The other, through his great wisdom, comprehended the mysteries of the elements and further integrated them with his own understanding of the laws, ultimately comprehending the Eternity Elemental Law and ascending to the position of Eternity.
It's obvious at a glance which is superior and which is inferior.
"The king has been suppressed!!"
"Magic Pioneer, damned spellcasters!!"
"Our people, is there no one who can stop them?"
The four Elemental Lord had extremely complex expressions on their faces when they saw the Lord of the Boundless being suppressed by the Magic Pioneer.
There was anger, but even more so, there was fear and a sense of bewilderment about the future.
Finally, it was the Earth Elemental Lord, known for his calm and reliable nature, who spoke up, "Rest assured, the distress call we sent across the Elemental Dimension to the entire Astral Realm should have reached the ears of all the major powers. They will come to our aid, they definitely will!!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the other three Elemental Lord softened slightly, while the Water Elemental Lord wore a sorrowful look. "Now we can only wait for outside help..."
The Divine Realm.
Dome of the Stars.
Information fluctuations originating from the Elemental Dimension permeate the multiverse space and are ultimately intercepted by the vast Starry Sky here.
The spirit ' Starry Sky ' of the Dome of the Stars emerged, reading the information, its eyes showing a solemn expression.
"The Adrian Federation is actually attacking the Elemental Dimension! What is Dale trying to do? Have the spellcasters finally lost their patience?!"
Starry Sky's thoughts raced, and he pondered to himself, "I wonder why my master went to the Chaos Sea. I can't contact him for the time being, and just then, all sorts of events broke out. Did the various Eternal discover something, or perhaps...?"
Thinking deeper into the matter, Starry Sky couldn't help but shudder, no longer daring to delve into the subject.
She sensed the Astral Realm Will through the Dome of the Stars, and a feeling of vastness and immensity welled up in her heart, with waves of energy emanating from her.
The Starry Sky is certain in my heart.
"As expected, the actions of the Adrian Federation have angered the Astral Realm Will. However, it's unclear what methods the Magic Pioneer used to delay the Astral Realm Will's reaction, allowing the Elemental Lord ' distress call to arrive first."
"Never mind all that. The profession of the Earth Guardian is to protect the three dimensions. Although the Material Dimension is the primary focus, the Elemental Dimension is also within their scope of protection."
With this thought in mind, the Starry Sky began to issue a "Star Summons," notifying all the Earth Guardian of the entire Astral Realm to gather towards the Elemental Dimension and help the elemental life resist the invasion of the Adrian Federation.
As one of the most powerful Star Watcher today, Lancelot, far away in the Endless Divine Realm, naturally also received the summons.
