Chapter 312: Chapter 307: The Element Lord in Breeding Stage Chapter 312: Chapter 307: The Element Lord in Breeding Stage “Just as I suspected.” Within the blazing sea of fire, Muria stared at the red flame giant in front of her, its mere presence causing the surrounding space to tremble.

The Fire Element Lord, or rather, more precisely, this is a Fire Element Lord that’s still in its gestation stage. Through its semi-transparent body of flames, Muria saw a throbbing heart at its chest.

This was a heart formed by elemental crystals. Every heartbeat produced a powerful energy that was transmitted to every part of this flame giant through energy channels. This heart belonged to an Elemental Lord who had fallen thousands of years ago.

“Muria, I want to eat that,” Yingdila, returning to her original form and held in Muria’s arms, drooled and pleaded adorably at the sight of the heart radiating awe-inspiring energy fluctuations.

“You’ve eaten so many hearts of the elder elements already, it’s my turn now.” Muria, who’d also returned to her original form, pinched Yingdila’s little face. “This elemental heart is mine.”

Muria risked her life to come here for this very heart of the Fire Element Lord. When she first heard from the Tower Spirit that an elemental turmoil occurred here, Muria hypothesized that there might be the heart of an Elemental Lord or a fire-related treasure of the same level here.

In the world of Elasia, almost all Mage Towers’ power come from the elemental realms. As long as an elemental pool was opened in the Mage Tower and connected to the elemental realms, it meant that the Mage Tower had an infinite, inexhaustible source of energy from then on.

But to set up an elemental pool wasn’t without its risks. Opening an elemental passage would attract the elemental lives from the elemental realms.

The bigger the elemental passage that was opened, the more elemental creatures it attracted and the stronger these creatures tended to be. Furthermore, an overly dense accumulation of elements could naturally spawn elemental lives, although such a situation was generally unlikely.

However, mages had long figured out a scheme to circumvent the risks that came with opening an elemental pool. They set up magic arrays with filtering abilities in the passage to the elemental realms, allowing only pure elements to pass through, while any elemental lifeforms with self-awareness were denied.

This magic array functioned similarly to a fishing net, albeit it provided a much higher level of interception and targeted far more powerful beings. If the “fishing net” were to break, the elemental pool would automatically close the passage to the elemental realms.

Mages had long found ways to safely use the power from the elemental realms. However, even the most reliable method was not without its occasional missteps, like the Mage Tower where Muria now stood.

The legendary mage and elemental master, Heinal, intended to build a Floating City, and so he expanded the scale of the elemental pool in his Mage Tower to generate energy sufficient to supply an entire Floating City.

In simpler terms, he wanted to increase the size of the passage to the elemental realms. To maintain the stable existence of an elemental passage, the legendary mage Heinal also had to rely on some precious treasures for support.

Such as a heart of a Lord-level elemental, undoubtedly, it was the best choice to support the connection with the elemental realms.

As a legendary mage preparing to build the Floating City, Heinal was considered one of the wealthiest among the mages; money was of no concern to him.

All four elemental pools for Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire, were supported by corresponding Lord-level elemental hearts. This was also the case for some pools for non-basic elements, such as Thunder and Ice.

Unfortunately, right when his Floating City was about to be completed, Heinal died, leading to an abrupt halt to the construction progress. Without his maintenance, the Floating City simply couldn’t be built.

What followed were the events narrated by the Tower Spirit. Because the Mage Tower used significantly less energy than the elemental pool generated, it led to a large surplus accumulation of elements. This resulted in the scene Muria saw now.

All around were elemental life forms of fire. Accumulated elements over tens of thousands of years had even given birth to a few Lord-level elemental elders. Most importantly, these overly dense fire elements actually used the heart of the Lord-level element supporting the passage as the nucleus to rebreed a legendary level Fire Elemental Lord.

“No, I want to eat it.” Hearing Muria’s refusal, Yingdila, held in her arms, immediately became upset. Compared to the heart of a Lord-level element, what does the heart of an elder element even count for?

“Listen, this heart is of great use to me,” Muria soothed Yingdila with a gentle smile. She would reason with her first and if that didn’t work, she’d resort to force. She was not afraid of Yingdila causing trouble as she had ways to restrain her.

“Also, Yingdila, let me tell you, there are at least four hearts like this one here,” coaxed Muria as if she was dealing with a child, “Four hearts. Shall we go half and half? Two for each of us.”

“Mmm.” Yingdila’s eyes brightened upon hearing Muria’s words. She chewed on her finger and pondered for a moment, before finally agreeing to Muria’s suggestion.

“I will take this heart first then.” Muria put down Yingdila and took a step towards the elemental Lord that was still in its gestation stage, under her envious gaze.

“What a pity. Perhaps given another thousand years, you might be able to form a complete consciousness and appear in this world as an Elemental Lord. However, you’ve met me.” Muria lamented with her mouth, but her hands were swift. She held the Prison Suppression Halberd and pierced the Elemental Lord’s skull, annihilating its nascent soul.

There was no mercy. Muria wasn’t so benevolent that she would feel sympathy for an elemental body that didn’t even know if it had produced consciousness.

During this process, no fire Elemental Lives came to obstruct her. Almost all Elemental Life forms, including the few elders who were guarding the Elemental Lord, had been wiped out jointly by Muria and Yingdila. In fact, the majority of them had been consumed by Yingdila.

“Roar!” As Muria pierced through the skull of the Elemental Lord, a faint roar rang by her ears, followed by a red light rising from the not-yet-fully-gestated Elemental Lord and descending towards Muria.

“Crang!” “Roar!” “Growl!” The red light hadn’t yet fallen when Muria’s weapons and Bloodline reacted, and the phantom images of nine divine weapons appeared behind Muria with a sonorous ring. The red light exploded while still hanging in the air.

High above, the imposing phantom image of Titan brandishing an axe and a majestic Golden Dragon King appeared, blocking something or someone’s sight from the Fire elemental realm unbeknownst to Muria.

“Tsk.” Seeing the red light that seemed like a curse or a mark exploded, a hint of surprise showed on Muria’s face: “There is a curse for killing an unformed Elemental Lord… Well, it’s not a big issue.”
