"What's wrong, Teacher? Is there something strange?"

Merlin looked at the changes in the Blackfire Lord's expression, and then looked around but he did not find anything special.

However, Merlin's failure to realize it did not mean that the Blackfire Lord did not realize it either. His expression was solemn as he pointed to the ground. "There's something odd here. Did you think that lode only had one billion elemental crystal stones? You didn't control the Elemental Origin, you naturally don't know this, but the truth this entire dimension is just one gigantic elemental crystal stone lode! However, some places are buried deep while others are shallow. The lode you found must be one of the shallow ones, which was why you've discovered it."

"What? The entire dimension is an elemental crystal stone?"

Merlin, Luce, and Legend Zado exclaimed at the same time. What did it mean that the entire dimension was an elemental crystal stone? It was not just one billion now but ten billion, a hundred billion… It would be hard to count!

The entire Satsuma Dimension was an elemental crystal stone dimension. Buried underground were all elemental crystal stones. No one knew how exactly this dimension formed, and why there were so many elemental crystal stones.

"You don't believe me?"

The Blackfire Lord laughed coldly, and clenched his fist.

"Rumble."

The entire earth seemed to shake, and at the same time, a giant crack appeared on the ground. From the crack, giant chunks of elemental crystal stone ores started bursting out.

"There really is a lode?"

This time, Legend Zado, Merlin, and Luce all believed what the Blackfire Lord had said. The entire Satsuma Dimension was a giant elemental crystal stone lode.

Such a large sum of wealth was beyond anyone's imagination. Although the spell casters' organization had rapidly expanded, and possessed myriads of dimensions, a dimension that had such a large lode had never been discovered before.

"Teacher, what do you plan on doing with the Satsuma Dimension?"

Merlin glanced at the Blackfire Lord, and asked softly.

A humorless smile appeared on the Blackfire Lord's face as he looked at Merlin and Zado, and he muttered, "Such a large elemental crystal stone lode is not a blessing but a misfortune. In your hands or even in other Honored Legends' hands, it would be a monstrous calamity. However, it'll be rightfully in my hands. I'll leave an imprint, and bring this dimension under my control!"

What the Blackfire Lord had said was the truth. If news of this dimension that was full of elemental crystal stones was spread out, even Honored Legends would not be able to fully control it. The consequences would be too horrible to contemplate.

However, if it was a Supreme Lord like the Blackfire Lord overseeing it, coupled with the rumor that the Blackfire Lord had deep relations with Arcane Wizard Setoh from Arcane City, no one would dare to have any ideas about this dimension.

After a moment, Merlin took a deep breath, and looked at the elemental crystal stones on the ground. "Teacher, can we dig some elemental crystal stones? Dispelling Water in the Pavilion of Rarities caught my eye, and I want to re-cultivate a few stronger Pandora Demon Abilities. However, the price of Dispelling Water is quite steep…"

Before Merlin could even finish speaking, the Blackfire Lord waved his hand. "You three can all take one hundred million elemental crystal stones from the Satsuma Dimension. Remember, only one hundred million! Although I'm prepared to control this dimension, the truth is I don't need that many elemental crystal stones at all. This amount of elemental crystal stones is also not that useful for consolidating our Maxims. Besides, some true treasures can't be bought with elemental crystal stones, so after preparing for a period of time, I'll report this to Wizard Setoh, and let him deal with this large amount of elemental crystal stones. I believe that in the future, Arcane City's supporting ability for Potential Wizards in regards to elemental crystal stones would be greatly increased!"

The Blackfire Lord would be offering the Satsuma Dimension to the Arcane Wizard. Merlin and the others did not mind. No matter who controlled it, in the future, the elemental crystal stones here would no longer have anything to do with them. They cared more about the Blackfire Lord's promise to let them dig one hundred million elemental crystal stones.

"Haha, one hundred million crystal stones are enough. Blackfire Lord, since you allowed it, I won't stand on courtesy, haha!

Legend Zado also helped himself, and began collecting the elemental crystal stones while laughing loudly. He was a Legend with five Maxims and was extremely powerful. Just one Maxim was enough to cut a giant node, and he instantly obtained a hundred thousand elemental crystal stones.

Merlin needed to buy Dispelling Water, so a hundred million elemental crystal stones were enough. As for Wizard Luce, he seemed to be somewhat dazed as if it was a surprise that had dropped from the skies.

One hundred million elemental crystal stones. If he had not followed Merlin and experienced this adventure, Wizard Luce would not be able to obtain a hundred million elemental crystal stones even if he had accumulated them for a few thousand years.

Thus, Merlin and Wizard Luce also quickly started collecting the elemental crystal stones.

The elemental crystal stones were frantically kept in their Spatial Rings. Legend Zado's movements were the largest. His five Maxims were like five giant hands. No matter how deep the lodes were, they could be rooted up by him.

"Haha, I'll dig one more time. I have almost one hundred million elemental crystal stones!"

After a few dozen hours, Legend Zado had almost finished collecting while Merlin and Luce had only collected around ten million elemental crystal stones.

"Rumble."

Legend Zado's last movement was especially large. The entire land shook violently, and a huge elemental crystal stones lode seemed to have been uprooted by him. Glittering and shiny elemental crystal stones rushed around everywhere.

"Haha, that should be enough this time!"

Legend Zado's heart rejoiced. One hundred million elemental crystal stones were not a small amount to him at all.

"Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!"

A soft sound suddenly appeared on the dimension. The sound was relatively soft at first but became more intense, and the entire land seemed to shake as well.

"What's going on?"

Merlin and Luce hurriedly flew in the air and looked at the ground in panic. They felt that there seemed to be an enormous power underground, slowly recovering.

Thus, the life force made them fearful, and they also did not dare to continue collecting any elemental crystal stones.

"Retreat. It's best if we can leave the Satsuma Dimension. Even the Elemental Origin can't see what's happening."

The Blackfire Lord's expression immediately turned grave. The entire Satsuma Dimension was just a giant elemental crystal stone lode. That, itself, was already incredibly strange.

Now that a change like this had happened, the Blackfire Lord did not dare to be careless, and immediately instructed Merlin and the others to withdraw from the Satsuma Dimension, and watch from afar as he stared intently at the dimension.

The Satsuma Dimension was indeed rapidly changing, especially that muffled sound that seemed like the sound of a heartbeat. Every time it beat, it seemed to affect everyone into involuntarily falling into it.

"Boom!"

Finally, the land burst open, and space shattered. Countless elemental crystal stones were instantly smashed.

As for the dimension, it was no longer a dimension. It had been completely crushed, causing even the Blackfire Lord to become dumbfounded at what was happening in front of him.

"What a huge monster… The Satsuma Dimension is on a monster's back. How could that be?"

"What monster is that? The Satsuma Dimension is only a small dimension, but small dimensions are also dimensions. How could it be on a monster's back?"

"Was it the monster that came first or the Satsuma Dimension?"

Everyone was dumbfounded because this was beyond their comprehension.

"I remember now… That's a Slothful Beast! It's the true overlord-grade monster of the Void Zone! They're gigantic and have a long lifespan that almost has no end in sight. Moreover, they're almost unkillable. In the past, an Arcane Wizard met a Slothful Beast, and attacked it as he pleased for several years, but he never managed to even scratch the Slothful Beast.

"That's because the Slothful Beast loves to sleep. It'll sleep for tens of thousands of years. Even hundreds of thousands of years are nothing. Besides sleeping, it knows nothing else. Its temper is also very mild. Even if it gets attacked, it won't get angry at all… I never thought that we'd actually encounter a Slothful Beast."

The Blackfire Lord explained with a complicated expression. A monster like this was simply too shocking. Anyone who saw it would be extremely shocked. In front of the Slothful Beast, no matter how strong a Wizard was, he would definitely felt tiny in comparison.

Even an Arcane Wizard was helpless against a Slothful Beast. These monsters' movements were slow, and they seemed to be immature in their intelligence, but they were naturally powerful. They were the true apex creatures in the natural order.

"Teacher Blackfire, you said the Slothful Beast won't get angry but does it not care even if someone attacks it?"

"Of course. I've never heard of a Slothful Beast attacking a person first, but there would occasionally be some accidental injuries. For example, once they wake up, they'll devour everything around them. No matter if it's a dimension or something else, they'll swallow everything. Perhaps they're just eating…"

The Blackfire Lord had barely finished speaking when everyone's expression suddenly changed.

"Go, go now. We have to leave this place at all costs!"

The Blackfire Lord released the power of his Maxim in an instant, and madly flew away. Legend Zado's speed was also very quick, and he flew very far away in just the blink of an eye.

"Hoo…"

The Slothful Beast slowly opened its mouth and breathed in, and an incomparable suctioning force immediately appeared in the Void Zone. Even the furthest Blackfire Lord and Legend Zado were also affected, and could only rely on the power of their Maxims to continue escaping.

However, Merlin and Wizard Luce were not that lucky. The moment the Slothful Beast opened its mouth, they had no way of resisting its powerful suction, and were sucked directly into the Slothful Beast's gaping mouth.

The Slothful Beast continued to eat for three days and three nights before feeling "bored", and finally closed its mouth. It swung its huge body, and leisurely drifted off to other parts of the Void Zone.

To it, going to other places was just finding a different place to "sleep".

"Whoosh whoosh."

Two figures quietly followed behind the Slothful Beast.

"Blackfire Lord, what do we do? Merlin was swallowed into the Slothful Beast's belly!"

Legend Zado stared at the Slothful Beast in horror. If he had just been a second slower, he might have ended up the same way Merlin did, and be swallowed up into the Slothful Beast's stomach.

"We can't do anything but follow it… Fortunately, the Slothful Beast's speed is slow, and we can catch up. We'll look for any chance and then rescue Merlin!"

The Blackfire Lord's face was ashen. Who would have thought that a dimension would be on the back of a Slothful Beast, and was also unlucky enough to be swallowed into the belly of the beast?

Legend Zado shook his head helplessly. Even the Blackfire Lord could not do anything about it. For now, they could just follow behind this terrifying monster.
