Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1282 - 1276: Remnants of the Previous Era

The lava lake, serving as the dwelling for the Fire Element Demigod, was intrinsically connected to him.

In normal times.

The Fire Element Demigod would not, and could not, employ such a fundamental aspect to join the battle.

But now, he was left with no choice.

After consecutive battles, his state was almost unstable to the point of collapse.

Although he had already killed nearly half of the rebels within the city, with his current physical condition, enduring the cold rays' attacks amounted to steadily descending into the abyss of death.

In the face of death and suffering significant losses, the latter became an acceptable option.

Thus, the Fire Element Demigod descended from the sky.

This allowed him to receive less distant attacks from fire elements and better connect with the lava lake to unleash the subsequent attack.

Ronald, hovering in the air, saw everything clearly.

Along the trend of the lava lake flowing outward, every Flame River began to glow with a blue light.

If one were to extend their vision to the limit…

One would discover that the distribution of Flame Rivers throughout the city actually formed a base resembling an Array.

"No, this shouldn't be the arrangement of the fire elements."

Just as he marveled at such craftsmanship, Ronald suddenly shook his head.

Although this method was breathtaking, the flow direction of the Flame Rivers extended along the city's original layout.

In other words, these are relics left by the past Civilization of [Sifang Tian].

A corner wiped away by the river of history is about to unveil before him and Katherine!

At this moment, Ronald thought about a lot. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

In [Sifang Tian]'s current condition, inheriting the abilities of past civilizations is almost impossible.

After all, no matter how splendid past civilizations were, they were unsuitable for this special world. Things that even lacked adaptability faced an almost inevitable fate of elimination.

Then how did this Fire Element Demigod know to utilize such things?

Especially within the ruins of a city.

Meanwhile, the glow of the Flame Rivers on the ground became even more dazzling.

This light quickly stretched across the entire city's ground, spawning a unique Magic Fluctuation, even merging with the Fire Element Demigod's Sacred Domain.

Along with the changes in the city below.

A speculation quickly emerged in Ronald's mind.

The Fire Element Demigod... might be a survivor from the previous civilization of [Sifang Tian].

According to the Water Element's account, the strongest ones had long departed.

Then what about those just slightly less powerful than the strongest?

They might have found a way to escape this world where ascending opportunities were dwindling, or perhaps they adapted themselves with the changes of the world and survived, waiting quietly for a chance to reverse the situation.

This point, even the surrounding fire elements could serve as evidence.

Every fire element born in [Sifang Tian]started from the same line, so why was an ordinary fire element unable to advance to a demigod, yet there existed such an extraordinary being?

The more plausible explanation is that this demigod was already exceptional.

With the knowledge and abilities accumulated in the previous era, he became a demigod above the ordinary fire elements!

"..."

Intense deduction of information resounded in Ronald's mind.

And below, the final attack of the Fire Element Demigod was also brewing to an end.

The Flame Rivers spreading across the city began to emit unique Spell power, and the changes brought by the Array didn't result in burning or temperature control typical of the fire elements but rather a gravity compression technique.

All the lives in the Fire City were simultaneously locked by the Array, and then they faced the endless compression of the buildings.

"Tsk—"

Ronald and Catherine, also in the Fire City, naturally couldn't avoid being targeted.

Sensing this crisis, Ronald activated [Rational Limit] without a word to protect them.

In [Sifang Tian], a magic world of extreme enhancement.

Currently, Ronald can even maintain [Rational Limit] for a long time, and as long as he didn't encounter an existence capable of creating a complete version of [Sacred Domain], he naturally stood undefeated.

But the fire elements on the ground weren't as fortunate.

Existing in a flame form, they found it even harder to resist the tug of gravity compared to living creatures with bodies, quickly losing the ability to maintain their forms and getting compressed into fiery dots.

Their elemental embodiment was exceedingly powerful within their domain, yet facing such a highly targeted attack, their helplessness was unavoidable.

Soon, one after another, the fire elements in the city perished this way.

Under the spell enveloping the entire city, none escaped, ultimately becoming bombs scattered everywhere—dangerous and full of power.

...

After clearing out the rebellion in the city in one fell swoop, the Fire Element Demigod also fell into a state of extreme weakness.

His condition was terrible, the size shrinking by more than half.

Simultaneously, the lava lake deeply connected to him was nearly depleted, leaving only a thin layer at the bottom.

Looking again at the city.

The Flame Rivers scattered everywhere vanished, leaving behind city roads that they once scorched.

Complete destruction, yet a breath of survival lingered.

The scene was bleak and tragic.

Boom, boom, boom—

At this time, explosions sounded.

The fire elements, compressed into light dots, once the Array dissipated lost restraint and burst forth with pure Magic Power. Among the dense and terrifying explosions, the entire city utterly turned into ruins.

But there was something unique.

Because the fire elements had previously set up their semi-complete Sacred Domain, the Magic Power from these explosions was firmly confined within the Fire City, not a trace leaking outside.

The Fire Element Demigod, gasping his last breath, began to greedily absorb this Magic Power to restore his frail body.

"..."

At this moment, the demigod noticed something unusual.

Not far from him, there was another point absorbing the Magic Power throughout the city.

He directed his attention that way.

He found a block of metal burning with flames on its surface, greedily absorbing the flaming Magic Power just like him. Yet due to the demigod's own weakness, his speed of absorption was even slower than the other!

"..."

"Mutation... has the fire element mutated?"

This was the demigod's first time seeing such a unique fire element.

He didn't anticipate this was the result of an external invasion, a modification by Catherine, instead mistaking it as a mutation within the fire elements themselves.

So, he spoke to this odd-looking fire element:

"Special little one, listen, I mean you no harm."

"For hundreds of years, [Sifang Tian] has never had an individual like you. We can join forces to change this world's future!"

"..."

The fire element on the other side paid no heed, merely greedily absorbing the Magic Power.

Facing such a reaction, the demigod continued with a tone of dissatisfaction:

"This is my Sacred Domain. You alone cannot be my opponent! Even in terms of Magic absorption speed, once I adjust my state in a few minutes, you wouldn't catch up with me!"

The surface of the fire element, manifested from steel, flickered, expressing only a simple sentence—

"That's not necessarily true."
