Although the entire City of Flame Steel is made of stone, this stone is extremely special.
In every corner and every inch of the surface, there is a fire burning all the time, not afraid of high temperatures, and not deformed or charred in the slightest as the flames continue to burn day and night.
Fire radiated from the floor and walls licked the efreet's body.
Intertwined with the flames on their bodies, they become one.
"A legendary true dragon from the prime material world wants to challenge the authority of the djinn here."
"It moves very quickly, and the flesh-and-blood creatures living in the Elemental Barrens have basically been integrated and ruled by it."
"Humph, they are just a group of guys who are just hanging on. If you want to destroy them, it will be easy."
"The individual dragons are powerful, and the legendary level true dragons must pose a certain threat to us."
"This is the elemental plane, not the main material world, but the world of elements. The legendary true dragon will not be the opponent of the city lord here."
"............"
In the vast and majestic Yangang City, the Lord of Yangang City sat on a throne burning with flames, tapping the seat gently with one hand, and listened expressionlessly to the words of the efreeti below.
The elemental giants are very huge, and there are six or seven-meter-tall fire giants everywhere. The Lord of Yangang City, who is sitting on the Flame Throne, is even nearly twenty meters tall. His whole body is covered with burning flames, and his face only has a pair of
Glowing eyes like jewels.
In terms of appearance, the efreet appears to be a humanoid creature at first glance, with arms and a head, and a body outline similar to that of a human.
But they don't have legs.
From the waist down, there is a ball of rolling flames from thick to thin, shaped like a tornado.
Fire djinn are not the only ones living in the City of Flame Steel.
Fire djinn are very advanced elemental beings. They are the nobles of the City of Flame Steel. Their numbers are relatively rare. There are also some other elemental beings that are not advanced, such as some small fire elementals, fire elemental dogs, fire elemental tigers, etc.
There are a lot of elemental beings, and they are the servants of the efreeti.
In response to the recent turmoil caused by the true dragon in the main material world, the efreets have been talking a lot.
As a being condensed with the element of fire, the efreet has a fiery personality like fire. It is difficult to tolerate its violent temper when it comes to creatures that try to take its place.
It is the nature of the efreet to be irritable and irritable.
After a very short discussion, the clamor to defeat the legendary dragon and turn it into ashes with flames became more and more intense. The flames on many efreets couldn't stop boiling and rolling. This was because they were becoming violent and excited, wanting to
To burn something with flames.
The Lord of Yangang City remained silent.
As a legendary creature, it is different from the efreet below. It can restrain its violent nature as a fire element life to a certain extent, and is more rational than ordinary efreets.
The more powerful a creature is, the more it can control its own nature.
"Come here from the main material world..."
"In the home ground of elemental life, you still dare to show off like this and show no restraint."
"If you don't have something to rely on and have the confidence to not be afraid of legendary elements, then you are extremely stupid."
The Lord of Yangang City shook his head incomprehensibly, fire rippling around his body.
Which of the intelligent life forms that can become legendary is so stupid?
Although most dragons have an inexplicable self-confidence and arrogance, they are already legendary, which shows that this is at least an old dragon that has lived for more than six hundred years. A true dragon of this age has a more restrained and calm mind than when he first became an adult.
A lot. I will no longer have the most arrogant idea in the world. If I really think like this, I will never live to be a legend.
"Does it just want to open up territory here, or, as the news says, is it targeting the entire demiplane?"
The Lord of Yangang City tapped his fingers lightly, and a look of thought appeared on his face made of flames.
After a while, the voices of the efreet nobles below merged into one.
"war!"
"City Lord, if the dragon wants war, then give it war."
"Turn it and all the flesh-and-blood creatures it contained into ashes!"
"............"
The Yangang City Lord was interrupted from thinking. He looked down at the fire giants below, whose faces were full of rage and anger, and whose bodies were covered in flames. Flames suddenly rose from their bodies.
"idiot!"
A scolding made the fire giants shut their mouths at the same time.
"Those ugly earth elements are still waiting and watching. Taking the initiative to provoke a fight with the legends at this time will only give them an opportunity!"
The flames rolled back and reintegrated into the body of Yangang City Lord, burning quietly on its surface.
The angry voice became calmer and softer.
"If you want to defeat a legend, you must pay a certain price. By then, the earth element will definitely not mind extinguishing the flames and ruling the lava world alone."
A fire giant with a powerful aura looked at the Lord of Yangang City and asked doubtfully: "Then how should we deal with this giant dragon in the main material world?"
"Just like the stupid earth element, do you just sit back and ignore it?"
The other fire giants looked at Yangang City Lord at the same time. Although they did not speak, they obviously had similar doubts.
The Lord of Yangang City smiled, and the flames around his eyes became three points brighter.
"We have been fighting with the earth giants for too long. Although we have a slight advantage now, it will take an extremely long time to turn this advantage into a decisive victory. No one can guarantee that there will be no accidents during this time.
twists and turns."
"Just like now, the arrival of the legendary dragon has broken the stalemate between us and the earth giant."
The flames on Yangang City Lord gradually surged.
"This is an opportunity."
"A great opportunity to destroy the earth giant."
"As long as we get the help of the legendary dragon, it will be easy to break through the stone city."
"When this place is completely transformed into a world of fire, my strength will usher in unprecedented growth. At that time, I will deal with this guest from the main material world."
The fire giants below understood the thoughts of the Yangang City Lord, and the flames on their bodies gradually boiled, becoming more and more excited.
Then, the raging flames condensed into a lifelike, palm-sized firebird, which flew out from the Yangang City Lord, then flapped its wings, passed through the flames of the Yangang City, and moved in the air blooming with flame flowers.
Very quickly.
The firebird came to the gap between the two djinn territories.
It circled slightly, looking for the nearest flesh and blood life clan.

"The ruler of the City of Flame Steel sent a Firebird clone to see the great Eternal Dragon. He said he has something to discuss with you."
A giant python with a body length of more than ten meters and thick rock armor snaked on the ground and said to Garen.
Magma Python.
A highly intelligent magical creature that lives in magma rivers, it is one of the most powerful among Garen's retinue.
The firebirds sent by the Lord of Yangang City found the magma python, and then explained their purpose of coming and asked to discuss with the Eternal Dragon. The magma python did not dare to neglect and quickly came to the volcano to ask for a meeting with Garen.
"The Lord of Yangang City, the legendary elemental giant..."
Garen narrowed his eyes.
During this period, 90% of the nearby flesh-and-blood creature clans have come under his control. If he wants to occupy the lava demiplane, the next step is to go to the territory of the elemental djinn and start a war with the fire element or the earth element.
He is already preparing to take action.
The target is the City of Flame Steel.
Because of the existence of Balton, fire and cold restrain each other, and its frost power can cause tons of damage to the efreeti. It is suitable to make the City of Flame Steel the first target.
However, before he could actually take action, the Lord of Yangang City took the initiative to come over.
He didn't let his giant spirits or elements come, but used his own clone, which was already considered very sincere.
"Let it in."
Garen nodded lightly.
"yes."
The magma python moved its body, making a clicking sound as the rock armor rubbed against the ground, and left the dragon's nest.
Less than a minute later, a firebird with flapping wings entered the dragon's nest.
Although its entire body was made of flames, its appearance was lifelike. Garen could clearly see the distinct layers of feathers on the firebird's body.
The firebird's eyes were very bright, like two tiny gems set in flames. They were reflecting the body of the silver dragon and looking at it briefly.
It folded its wings and stood on a slightly raised stone on the wall of the dragon's lair.
Then under Galen's gaze, the firebird opened its mouth and spoke a hissing sound, like the sound of wind blowing flames, full of a special rhythm and pattern.
Fire language.
A language belonging to the element of fire.
Garen can't understand Fire Tribe.
Some of his relatives understand the Fire Tribe language. After all, in this element-dominated plane, learning the language of elemental beings will help them survive better.
Garen planned to ask a family member who knew the Fire Tribe language to come over and act as a translator.
But at this time, the firebird closed its mouth. When he opened his mouth to speak again, his voice had become a common language.
"Hello, friends from the main material world."
A calm and mature voice sounded from Firebird's mouth, which was a bit inconsistent.
As soon as it opened its mouth, Garen could hear a hint of wooing intention.
"Lord Yangang City, we have no interactions with each other. What brings you here?"
Garen's body slowly leaned forward, approaching the Firebird, and looked at the opponent from close range.
This firebird is not as big as one of his scales.
"I have been to the main material world. There is an idiom among humans there: you are a guest from afar."
Garen shook his head and said calmly: "There is no need for polite words. Stop beating around the bush and explain your purpose directly."
The firebird's little head turned.
"Okay, then I won't waste my time."
"I came here with a clear purpose. I hope to gain the friendship of the legendary dragon and form an alliance."
"You and I will work together to destroy the Stone City Labyrinth. The territory that originally belonged to the Earth Giant will be yours."
"This lava demiplane can be ruled by you and me from now on."
"I would hate to share this place with those stupid djinns, but the legendary dragon... I would love to be your neighbor, my friend."
Firebird's voice was sincere and serious.
It seems that there is no pretense and it comes from the bottom of his heart. He wants to join forces with Garen and rule the lava demiplane together.
The dragon's tail swayed slightly, and Garen rubbed the scales on his chin.
The words of the Lord of Yangang City are actually quite credible.
Because as an elemental life, there is no resource conflict or irresolvable positional conflict between it and flesh-and-blood creatures.
Even in the purely fire elemental plane, there are still clans of flesh and blood living who are not afraid of flames.
And its real enemy is the earth giant spirit, which is also an elemental life. Because of the difference in life forms, they coexist in a small plane. The prosperity of the earth giant spirit means that the concentration of the earth element in this world overwhelms the fire element. Then
The efreet's power will weaken.
Similarly, as the fire djinn grows in strength, the earth djinn will gradually become weaker.
There is a fatal conflict between the two sides related to the survival of the race.
This is completely irreconcilable.
The battle between the elements can only stop if one side completely annihilates the other.
As for the so-called control of the elemental demiplane with Garen...just listen to it. If you take it seriously, it is too ridiculous to be true.
There was a saying from ancient times in the previous life that was very good: How can we allow others to sleep peacefully in the place where we lie down?
Neither Yangang City Lord nor Garen would ever think of sharing a demi-plane with others.
This is not a complete and grand world, but a demiplane with a limited area. Although it covers nearly 100 million square kilometers, compared with the real world, this area is still quite limited.
What is more likely to happen is that after joining forces with Garen to destroy the earth giant, sooner or later, the Yangang City Lord who is still sincere in his words will show his fangs.
Garen thought carefully.
Instigating a fight between giant spirits and reaping the benefits is easy to say, but it is a very difficult thing.
The wisdom of the elemental djinn is not low, and there are also legendary leaders.
The most likely result of this approach is for them to temporarily join forces and continue fighting among themselves after the unstable factors are resolved.
"Well... let's deal with the earth giant with it first, and things will become much easier."
After joining forces with the Lord of Yangang City to deal with the earth giants, the two will decide the real master of the lava demiplane.
And the Lord of Yangang City obviously thinks so too.
It's just that the earth giants who are slow to react will be unlucky...
However, what Yangang City Lord didn't know was that Garen was not afraid even if he fought the efreeti and earth djinn at the same time, but he might suffer some injuries and be a little troublesome.
Balton, the legendary frost giant, had no breath at this time, shrunk his body and hid himself.
And after arriving in the lava demiplane, Garen never let Balton move around.
Whether it is the Fire Djinn or the Earth Djinn, no one knows that there is another legendary creature in Garon.
If the Lord of Yangang City knew that there was a legendary frost giant here, he would definitely not choose to cooperate with Garen first and then decide the outcome later. The legendary frost giant poses a greater threat to the fire djinn than to the earth djinn.
Too many.
Garen looked at the firebird, and a smile appeared on the dragon's face.
"Actually, that's what I had in mind. I originally planned to go to the City of Flame Steel to visit in person, but you have already arrived here first."
"We have similar ideas and it seems that we are suitable to become friends."
A smiling voice came from the firebird's small mouth: "Well, first of all, I wish us a happy cooperation, my friend."
Jia Long narrowed his eyes and said the same: "It's a pleasure to cooperate."
The two 'friends' looked at each other, and a smile appeared on their faces.
"A week later, the City of Flame Steel will send an army of fire elements to the Stone City Labyrinth."
After discussing some specific details, the Lord of Yangang City said.
"When that day comes, the dragon will fight side by side with the fire element."
Garen smiled.
"Haha, I'm looking forward to seeing the heroic appearance of the legendary dragon crushing the earth giant."
The Lord of Yangang City did not leave immediately. Instead, he asked Garen about some things about the main material world. Garen also learned more about the elemental plane from it.
Half an hour later, the Lord of Yangang City said goodbye to Garen.
"I have to concentrate on preparing for the war. See you in a week."
After saying that, the firebird's body trembled and could no longer stabilize into the firebird's appearance. In an instant, it turned into a burning flame. After burning in the air for a while, it dissipated into fire elemental energy.
Garen left the dragon's nest and summoned his subordinates who came to the lava demiplane. He told them that he was going to cooperate with the efreets and deal with the earth djinn first.
"Efreet? They are said to be immune to fire."
"Hmph, the powerful red dragon flames can burn even fire elemental beings, not to mention the earth giants made of rocks."
Red dragons are quite confident.
But this is also true, because flames also have strengths and weaknesses. A more turbulent and high-temperature flame can devour a weak flame. There is a limit to any immunity.
As for the earth giant.
Unlike efreets, they are made of solid rock and can be melted by high-temperature flames.
"Sir, do you really want to cooperate with the legendary fire element?"
"I think it has bad intentions."
Kristians frowned and said softly.
Garen glanced down at the high-ranking spellcaster and said in a low voice: "Of course it has bad intentions. We have not concluded a covenant that we cannot harm each other."
When Yangang City Lord first came, he said that he wanted to form an alliance, but after receiving Garen's response and later during the detailed discussion, Yangang City Lord and Garen had a tacit understanding, and neither of them mentioned making an alliance again.
There is no mention of the covenant, which says a lot.
There are no constraints between the two.
It only relies on verbal agreements between legendary creatures of the same level.
"However, cooperation is also needed. This will save me a lot of trouble."
"Don't you think I am no match for the legendary fire element?"
Kritchens shook his head, lowered his head, glanced at the black scale ring on Garen's wrist, and whispered: "Your followers have infinite awe and confidence in the power of the Eternal Dragon."
Just kidding, all the demigod lichs who wanted to kill the Time Dragon were dead.
How could the legendary fire element be the opponent of the Dragon of Time?
Even with the bonus of the geographical environment here, it is impossible to defeat the Time Dragon. Even if we defeat the one in front of us, how will we deal with it in the future?
After witnessing Gallon's ability to shake people with their own eyes, Kristens and Fred were convinced of one thing.
Except for real gods and those terrifying god-like powers, there is probably no creature in many planes that can truly threaten this Dragon of Time, even if he is still far from adulthood.
