The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 844 Elemental Monarch
On the boundless rocky plains, countless earth elemental creatures roam.

Earth elementals are living beings too, and they need to eat. Lower-level earth elementals can only eat ores, while better-level ones eat gems. Higher-level earth elementals, on the other hand, eat these lower-level earth elementals.

Richard added elemental disguise to himself, making him look like a stone giant as he walked across the plains.

The Earth Elemental Territory is a dangerous territory. Richard is confident that he can easily defeat even the Earth Elemental King. However, he has to consider one thing.

That is, during the time he was entangled with the Earth Element King, would he attract other Earth Element Kings?

Although there are conflicts between the kings, these earth elemental beings are often very united in their fight against external enemies.

As Richard walked, faint energy ripples spread outwards from his center. Using mental power here would be too conspicuous, and the exploration range would not be wide enough.

If we really want to explore, we still have to use traditional energy wave detection.

rumbling...

A giant sandworm, resembling an earthworm but many times larger, suddenly burst out of the ground beside Richard.

The moment it broke through the ground, its meat grinder-like mouthparts enveloped Richard like a dome.

"The giant sandworm is indeed as brainless as described in the book."

Richard said calmly into his mouth.

The next moment, the giant sandworm's rotating mouthparts snapped as if they had encountered a solid steel ingot, and then a giant stone spear pierced right through the sandworm.

Pfft!

Richard ripped open the sandworm's mouthparts with his hands, and green, corrosive fluid splattered all over his disguise like an explosion.

After coming out, Li looked around.

Giant sandworms are among the few semi-elemental creatures that can survive in the earth elemental realm.

Elemental creatures are also intelligent. Giant sandworms can help these earth elementals dig underground tunnels, find mineral veins, and even use them as weapons to fight against hostile earth elemental groups.

It is an important asset of an elemental tribe.

Now that he has killed a sandworm, the earth elemental tribe will appear soon.

Just as Richard had predicted, after he killed the sandworm, several rock giants suddenly emerged from a hill fifty kilometers away from him.

"Hopefully these guys have some common sense."

A moment later, the rock giants appeared in front of Richard.

"What tribe are you from! Why are you killing our sandworms!"

Richard surveyed the group of rock giants before him. These giants were about three meters tall, with the tallest approaching four meters. In appearance, they resembled the ancient stone golems Richard had seen before.

Perhaps the wizards of the Enlightenment were inspired by these stone giants, which is why they created stone golems.

At their center, the tallest stone giant was inlaid with many jewels and held a metal spear in his hand.

Judging from the gold patterns on the spear, it must have been mixed with refined gold.

This is good news. Fine gold is also a rare commodity in the earth elemental realm. To obtain it, an elemental imbalance from the material world must settle into the earth elemental realm.

The fact that this giant possesses a spear infused with refined gold suggests he is most likely a direct descendant of some elemental lord.

Snapped.

Richard snapped his fingers, and magical chains emerged from the ground, firmly binding the earth elemental giants in place.

Even though these earth elemental giants possessed strength comparable to a level two dragon, they were powerless against the magical chains.

At the same time, Richard strode up to the tallest stone giant, and a surge of powerful spiritual energy erupted from his body like a tidal wave, instantly reviewing all of the stone giant's memories.

Richard did not even use witchcraft in this process.

The difference between the two was too great, so great that even if Richard didn't need to do anything, he could easily peek into the stone giant's memories.

"It turns out he was an unloved youngest son."

Richard quickly reviewed the stone giant's memories; the stone giant was indeed a direct descendant of an elemental lord. However, due to his poor innate strength, he was abandoned at a young age in this tribe directly under the elemental lord, left to fend for himself.

Snapped.

Richard snapped his fingers again, this time casting a mass oblivion spell.

All the stone giants forgot what had just happened, and Richard's figure disappeared from the spot.

In the stone giant's memory, he found the location of the elemental lord's palace.

That was a high mountain tens of thousands of kilometers away from him. The entire interior of the mountain had been hollowed out by the elemental lord's slaves and used as his palace.

Tens of thousands of kilometers away.

Rumble Blackrock was enjoying his life as a lord in his palace.

He lay on a huge recliner, with dozens of elemental sprites flying around him, polishing his body with the latest metal powder.

The gray body, which was over twenty meters long, looked exceptionally smooth due to the polishing effect of the powder.

He himself was holding a huge elemental crystal and taking big bites of it.

Suddenly, Rumble Black Rock stopped eating.

A faint elemental fluctuation emanated from somewhere in the air; it was the "sound wave" of an elemental being.

"Boom! I've come to see you."

"Father...Father!?"

With a sudden roar, Blackrock sat up from his recliner. He waved his hand to dismiss his elemental sprites, then hurriedly left the recliner and rushed towards the main hall of the palace.

Although he was the son of an elemental king, this identity meant nothing to his father. If his father was displeased, he could devour him at any time.

Elemental beings don't have the same level of emotional connection as flesh-and-blood beings.

Inside the main hall, Li looked at the palace, which had a rather exotic beauty, and felt a slight sense of awe.

There are also skilled craftsmen among elemental creatures.

The palace is adorned with murals painted with gemstone powder, each depicting the glorious achievements of this elemental lord and full of charm.

However, before Richard could finish admiring the sights, heavy footsteps echoed from inside the palace.

A magnificent stone giant, standing twenty meters tall, burst out from the rear hall.

"Oh? It actually came out on its own." Richard was slightly surprised when he saw Rumble Black Rock emerge.

But this astonishment was more of a pleasant surprise than an actual shock.

Without hesitation, Richard waved his hand, and countless magical chains stretched out from the void around Blackrock. In less than the blink of an eye, this elemental lord, comparable to a level five creature, was sealed away by Richard.

Richard will tear open the space and take him back to the Abyss.

But as soon as he opened the rift, a mountain-like pressure suddenly came from above his head.

"You scum of flesh and blood, where are you taking my offspring?!"

Ok?
Richard was suddenly taken aback.

No, how could an elemental king suddenly appear?

However, Richard had no time to think about it, because he had to return to the material world.

Engaging with an elemental king in the elemental realm is by no means a wise move.

A surge of immense energy erupted from his body, instantly stabilizing the cracks that were on the verge of collapse due to the domineering aura.

Just before the Elemental King's attack arrived, Richard, along with Rumble Blackrock, plunged headlong into the material world.

boom!
A fist as large as a mountain descended from the sky, instantly crushing the rumbling Black Rock Palace.

Immediately afterwards, a tremendous roar swept across the surrounding area.

"You bloody dregs! I'm going to kill you!"

In the vast abyss world, Li looked at the healed spatial rift and felt a slight sense of regret.

Surprisingly, they didn't chase after us.

In the realm of elements, Richard dared not provoke an elemental king, but in the material world, that was a different story.

Without any support, an elemental king is simply easy prey for him right now.

Suddenly, a shattering sound rang in Richard's ears.

Suddenly, the space around him cracked open like a spider web, and from behind the cracks, pure earth element seeped in like quicksand.

Richard's face lit up with delight: "You actually dared to chase after us!"

Before Richard could make a move, three Abyss Guardians appeared beside him.

The inspector glanced at the cracks and respectfully asked Richard, "My lord, is this elemental king your prey?"

Richard nodded: "Since it's come after us, then it is. Make room for it to come in."

"Yes, my lord."

The inspector glanced at his two colleagues and then released the Abyss's spatial defenses.

The Abyss World is a weapon. If you don't lower your defenses, no matter how terrifying the scene created by the Elemental King is, he will not be able to enter the Abyss World even if he tries his best.

Boom!

As the defenses were released, the cracked spaces shattered instantly.

The earth elemental lord, whose size was comparable to a small asteroid, crossed space and arrived. The pressure emanating from him was like a vast land, enough to crush a level three creature into a pulp and make the world's ruler kneel on the ground.

A deafening, explosive sound erupted from his body.

"Flesh and blood dregs! I swear in the name of Black Rock, I will make your soul, the souls of your disgusting kin, wail in my sandstorm for ten thousand years... Hmm?"

Black Rock's shouting abruptly stopped because he realized that he seemed to have arrived at an extraordinary place.

Why is the World Tree in front of it even bigger? Why has the space in this world suddenly become so resilient? It was clearly very fragile just a moment ago.

Why were the three pieces of flesh and blood that suddenly appeared in front of him not afraid of him at all?

In an instant, Elemental King Black Rock finally realized that something was wrong.

Oh no, this is a trap!

Black Rock was about to retreat immediately, but the Abyss was not a place he could come and go as he pleased.
The three Abyss Guardians suddenly grew larger, each radiating an unfathomable pressure. With a wave of their tentacles, the spatial rift behind Black Rock instantly healed.

At the same time, an invisible field suddenly spread from the three guardians, instantly covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of kilometers.

In this field, space becomes exceptionally solid—Richard cannot fight Blackrock in the endless dimensions, but battles between rulers are also destructive to the Abyss World, and reinforcing the space in advance can greatly reduce this destruction.

"Hehehe, since you're already here, don't be in such a hurry to leave."

Richard casually tossed the Rumble Black Rock into the dimensional space, and his tiny body instantly rose to a height of hundreds of thousands of meters.

He wore a strange grin, and his body, bound by black chains, exuded an aura that made Black Rock tremble.

"I don't want much. I just want your soul, your body, and your treasured wealth... that's all."
