Zhao Ziqi, the Elf Queen, arrived at the end of the damp road.

This is a vast underground space, with four rows of stone pillars supporting a hall tens of meters high. The ancient stone slabs are carved with simple lines depicting scenes of binding, slaughter, and devouring.

Thousands of wisps of dark red mist floated in mid-air. Only in the very center of the hall, a giant, withered vine held up a palm-sized emerald green seed. It resembled a divine fruit, extremely sacred, like a green sun, constantly emitting a soft, luminous green light, which extinguished the dark red mist emanating from beneath the giant vine.

A faint green light illuminated this dark and eerie underground space. Thick vines, as thick as stone pillars, entwined around the pillars, clung to the walls, and pressed down on the bloody and eerie altar. These vines were all withered, their outer skin still tough but devoid of life.

Zhao Ziqi noticed that the eerie altar, which was overturned by vines, was engraved with the symbols of a "six-pointed star" and a "triple gate," which were commonly used by evil superhumans when performing sacrifices.

It seems that the evil superhumans in the real world also originated from the world of the secret realm!

At last.

Zhao Ziqi and the Elf Queen both gazed at the emerald seed. It floated there, its aura faint, yet it brought them warmth and comfort! It was the aura of the Mother Goddess.

"So it wasn't them who stole the Mother Goddess's authority, but rather the Mother Goddess... who suppressed this evil land!" The Elf Queen discovered that beneath the Mother Goddess's authority, where hundreds of vines intertwined, fine, dark red cracks appeared and disappeared, emanating a dark red corrosive mist.

"If it weren't for someone performing an evil ritual here, this suppression by the Mother Goddess would probably still be intact."

"yes."

Zhao Ziqi nodded.

His eyes remained fixed on the emerald seed, the authority of the Mother Goddess, the ultimate treasure of the Ash Lands!

Obtaining it will revitalize this place, allow you to complete the trial of the S-rank secret realm Ashlands, and leave this dangerous place!

Thinking of this, Zhao Ziqi strode forward; he had to get it as soon as possible!

"Be careful, there might be danger."

The Elf Queen's voice was melodious and pleasant. She had just reminded Zhao Ziqi when suddenly... crash! From the top, dozens of meters high, a huge brick fell down, along with a crimson figure. Lava flowed from its body, and hot steam billowed from it. It was... the Flame Demon.

The Flame Demon was 2.4 meters tall, with a huge tail trailing behind it, and a pair of red-hot, curved metal horns on its head! It stood in front of Zhao Ziqi and the Elf Queen.

It raised its head, its pupils fixed on Zhao Ziqi, exuding a strong sense of oppression! It exhaled scorching breath.

He said, "Hand over the Moon Crown, and I'll let you leave alive, but she must die!"

"Enough with the nonsense." Zhao Ziqi raised the Thunderclap Gun, merged it with divine light, and pulled the trigger. His top priority now was to obtain the Mother Goddess's authority.

Boom!

The magic bullet struck the fire demon's chest and exploded, shattering several pieces of grayish rubble. Then... lava flowed onto its chest, leaving a fist-sized crater that was completely healed.

Zhao Ziqi's gaze remained calm. It seemed that the divine light did not counter the Flame Demon Surtur! Moreover, its defensive power was ridiculously strong.

A tough battle is inevitable!

The Flame Demon Surtur spread its arms, its tail lashing out, creating a deafening roar in the air. In the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of Zhao Ziqi, its claws slamming down with incredible speed.

The Silver Moon Sword blocked his way, and a terrifying force struck. Zhao Ziqi's arm made a cracking sound, followed by excruciating pain.

The bones in my right arm, which was gripping the Silver Moon Sword, cracked!

Without a moment's hesitation, Zhao Ziqi picked up the Divine Vine Gourd, drank a drop of spiritual liquid, and as his broken bones automatically healed, the Elf Queen stood in front of the Flame Demon Surtur. She was the Flame Demon's old adversary and knew its attack methods. Although she was far weaker than the Flame Demon, she was still able to hold it off.

Just then, a hoarse voice rang out.

Zhao Ziqi turned his head and saw the Flame Hand holding a scythe floating towards him from the intersection where he and the Queen had come from! Its voice was hoarse, carrying only simple killing intent.

"Roar!" The Flame Demon Surtur roared, smashing the ground with a single blow that cracked and shattered the rock slabs. The Hand of Flame shifted its gaze from Zhao Ziqi to the Flame Demon, wielding its scythe as it charged forward.

"Get out of here!"

The Balrog grabbed the Flame Hand's head with one hand and crushed it. Then it turned around... The next second, the Flame Hand's head healed completely. The flaming scythe in its hand pierced the flesh of its back. The Balrog was furious. It wrapped its tail around the scythe and pulled it down, knocking the Flame Hand away in the process.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Elf Queen severed one of the Fire Demon's fingers with her sword. The Fire Demon roared in pain and charged at the Elf Queen again.

"A great opportunity!"

Zhao Ziqi remained silent, his steps light, his gaze fixed on the Mother Goddess's authority floating on the vines, and gradually his pace quickened!

Climbing the vines, only a few dozen meters away, he was about to succeed! Zhao Ziqi held his breath, while the Queen deliberately avoided looking at Zhao Ziqi, drawing the Flame Demon's attention.

Suddenly! Crack! Crack! Green leaves sprouted from the surface of the withered and dead thick vines, transforming into nimble, slender vines. Dozens of vines grew out and wrapped around Zhao Ziqi. The sound of the vines whipping through the air startled the Flame Demon.

It was locked in battle with the Hand of Flames and the Elf Queen when it heard the sound and looked over. Its crimson pupils witnessed Zhao Ziqi severing the vines and attacking the Mother Goddess's authority.

Instantly, scalding hot steam erupted from its body. Enraged, it roared, "Human... thief!! That's mine!"

The hot steam blew the Queen away, preventing the fiery hand from getting close. It leaped into the air as if it had sprouted a pair of wings, and landed directly on the vines in front of Zhao Ziqi.

"Holy crap!" Zhao Ziqi's eyes widened. Could this guy fly?

Then look at the Flame Demon Surtur. In just a few steps, it had already arrived in front of the Mother Goddess's authority. Green light shone on its face, and its eyes and expression were extremely greedy.

Zhao Ziqi witnessed this scene, curled his lip, and dodged the vines that were wrapping around him. This guy won't have a good ending.

The Mother Goddess's authority seemed to have lost its mind, even attacking him, the legitimate successor. He didn't think there was any danger in possessing the Mother Goddess's authority.

Perfect, let this big oaf give it a try.

The Balrog Surtur grasped the Mother Goddess's authority in his large hand, his eyes gleaming with desire and anticipation, and declared, "My supreme kingdom of fire is about to be...established!!"

The emerald green seed pressed against its palm, and the Balrog felt a surge of vitality. Then... something was wrong! This vitality was draining the life force from its avatar!

"No, get down here!" It tried to open its palms and shake off the seeds, but the emerald green seeds stuck to it and it could not break free. The life force of its huge body withered, the magma on its body dried up and became dull, and even the sparks were devoured. Its body gradually stiffened and turned into a black stone statue with an expression full of disbelief, emitting a faint residual heat.

Zhao Ziqi stopped and shrank his neck. Good heavens... thank goodness he didn't get the seed, otherwise it would have drained him dry too.

The emerald green seed floated into the air, its green light intensifying. The dozens of vines that were wrapped around Zhao Ziqi bowed and spread out, making way for him.

"Has it regained its intelligence after absorbing the Flame Demon?" Zhao Ziqi murmured to himself.

Unexpectedly, dozens of vines nodded in agreement, as if they were human.

"Hurry, I can't hold them off any longer!"

At this moment, the Elf Queen, fighting the Hand of Flames alone, shouted in exasperation.

"good!"

Zhao Ziqi strode to the emerald seed. It was surrounded by a hazy green mist. Just by getting close, he felt his blood flow accelerate, his fatigue dissipate, and he felt refreshed and full of energy!

Before Zhao Ziqi could reach out to touch the emerald seed, he suddenly stopped, then switched to his left hand, which was adorned with the Moon Crown, and touched the seed with the ring. Then, he slowly lifted it up with both hands.

A vibrant life force flowed into his palm, and Zhao Ziqi felt as if he were holding not a seed, but a world of life! This life force was like a vast ocean, boundless and limitless!

Zhao Ziqi smiled. With it, he could restore life to the Ashlands and complete the final mission of the Ashlands!
