Chapter 814: Heart of Earth Fire
Zhao Hai also knew Yun Tianlei's intentions, but he wasn't worried. They had spent a long time setting up the Aklaya Mountain Defense Line, and that was not for nothing. Now that the people from the Ark Continent had withdrawn, the defense line still remained, and everything within it remained intact. As long as they could get their army inside, there would be no problems.
Currently, Zhao Hai was commanding the undead beings, preparing to take action against the kingdom of light. Yun Tianlei and the others had just spoken without using any magical shields, so Zhao Hai and his team heard everything.
The changes happening over there suited Zhao Hai's intentions perfectly. The longer they fought there, the more beneficial it was for Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai had already prepared the army for the attack on the kingdom of light, and they were ready to strike at any moment. Previously, they had studied the defensive arrangements concerning the divine race and selected the best attack point.
They had chosen several optimal locations but found them unsuitable. Ultimately, Zhao Hai decided to launch the attack from the sea against the kingdom of light.
The kingdom of light was the former Azure Wave Dynasty, a nation surrounded by the sea on three sides, with only one side connecting to the Pagoda Empire. Compared to attacking from land, attacking from the sea would be much easier for them.
Among Zhao Hai's undead beings, many were transformed from magical beasts of the sea. Therefore, he felt more comfortable operating in the water than on land. It was decided that they would launch their attack on the divine race from the sea.
In addition to this reason, Zhao Hai also wanted to visit Flame Island. Flame Island was one of the five greatest forbidden lands of the Ark Continent, isolated in the ocean. The temperature on the island was extremely high, with numerous volcanoes. Besides some special fire-type magical beasts and fire-type plants, the only other beings present were the Flame Demons!
These Flame Demons were similar to those from the demon realm, having evolved from high-level magical beasts. They were not afraid of fire, as flames were their source of energy. Given the special environment of Flame Island, it had almost become a graveyard for powerful beings from the Ark Continent. Countless strong warriors had explored there, but few had returned alive.
Zhao Hai wanted to see if he could obtain some fire-type crystals from Flame Island.
In the battle against the divine race, fire-type crystals were the most useful. There was a crystal vein beneath the Extreme North Icefield, and Zhao Hai couldn't believe that a place like Flame Island wouldn't have fire-type crystals.
Originally, Zhao Hai planned to visit Flame Island after emerging from the Extreme North Icefield, but many events happened in succession, causing him to set that plan aside.
Now, Zhao Hai wanted to take this opportunity to visit Flame Island first and then deal with the divine race. After contacting the Great Demon Lord, Zhao Hai sent his staff into the sea and headed towards Flame Island, which was now very close.
The slow speed was due to their need to maneuver around the kingdom of light to avoid detection. The divine race members were incredibly formidable; they could easily discover any disturbances.
Zhao Hai was focused on the direction of the blood staff while Lily and the others commanded the army in battle against the divine race. As the blood staff approached Flame Island, Zhao Hai's concentration grew sharper.
The effective range of the staff was limited, and Zhao Hai decided not to wait any longer. He turned to Lily and said, “Lily, this area is up to you. I'm going out to check things.”
Lily casually responded, but her eyes remained glued to the screen. Noticing her demeanor, Zhao Hai didn’t pay it any mind and swiftly stepped out of the spatial realm. At that moment, the blood sword also flew out of the sea, transforming into a large sword beneath Zhao Hai's feet.
