Red Dragon Monster Hunter Template.

This forced Thor to remain suspended in mid-air, unable to move freely. Fortunately, the red dragon's attacks were never limited to close combat; it was perfectly adequate as a ranged turret.
At this moment, Thor was taking a deep breath, and the enormous wings behind him, which blotted out the sky, were constantly absorbing the flames pouring down from the fire elemental plane.
The high temperature and magic power continued to accumulate in his body, causing his chest and abdomen to swell and emit a dazzling light.
A beam of scorching white light shot out from Thor's mouth, sweeping across the necromantic clouds in mid-air like a divine sword of punishment.
He didn't bother using any dragon-attribute energy or rainbow light to deal with these long-dead bugs; pure high temperature was enough.
As soon as the countless ghosts touched the pillar of light, they instantly evaporated like morning dew under the sun. As Thor's head swayed from side to side, the dark clouds that had covered the sky were swept away, revealing the pale sun behind him.
Several powerful liches riding bone dragons tried to fight back, but in the next instant, beams of light rained down from the sky.
The enormous red dragon had once again folded its wings, and every tiny nozzle between the scales beneath its wings was releasing immense energy.
Thor's thermonuclear organs are operating at full power, constantly breaking down heavy metals into a continuous stream of heat energy. Combined with the heat radiation control from the Shining Dragon, the high-temperature heat energy is further compressed and concentrated, showing a tendency to transform into fusion.
Each beam of light left a scorching mark on the sky and the earth that would linger for a long time. Almost every instant, hundreds or thousands of souls perished in the intense heat.
The unwilling liches unleashed their most powerful curses, the strongest they had ever mastered, upon the terrifying red dragon, but they were utterly unable to penetrate its terrifying magical resistance and the absolute defense constructed from life force and dragon-attribute energy.
High-ranking undead often possess sufficient intelligence, and the strongest among them must be able to control their instincts and emotions.
As a spellcaster, the lich clearly possesses sufficient rationality and the ability to assess the situation. Faced with this irresistible "natural disaster," it has already begun to seek a way out.
Creatures of their caliber have long since mastered the ability to travel between dimensions. This place is just an old lair; they can simply move to another place to live. There's no need to risk their lives for it.
The soul fire in the minds of some liches began to flicker, and the eyes of those vampires who called themselves the nobles of the night also flashed with cunning.
They began to gather their core subordinates, quietly leaving the army formation, intending to pack their valuables as quickly as possible and bid farewell to this small undead plane.
With the departure of these core forces, the overwhelming black mist of negative energy began to dissipate, making the undead legion, which was already unable to stop Thor's darkin army, even more vulnerable.
Thor, with his keen senses, naturally noticed this as well, but let them leave without stopping them.
At this moment, he was focusing some of his attention on the essence balance below the wheel in his mind, watching the numbers jump around at an extremely fast speed, and his heart was filled with joy.
Indeed, burning, killing, and looting are the fastest ways for evil dragons to get rich.
Especially in a plane of the dead, the countless skeletons and zombies are like a swarm of krill in the eyes of a whale.
Although the few who escaped were all big fish, they seemed insignificant in the face of such a massive number.
Under Thor's control, the massive sea of fire continued to spread forward, engulfing tens of thousands of low-level undead creatures.
Without the assistance of those liches, nothing could stop the expansion of Thor's army. The black smoke and acrid smell from the burning corpses almost enveloped the entire small undead plane. It wasn't until seven days later that the terrifying fire gradually subsided.
At this point, the almost ubiquitous negative energy had been nearly completely purified, with only a small amount of embers remaining deep underground.
The ground was covered with grayish-white ash and charred bone fragments, which made a crisp cracking sound when stepped on.
As too much fire element poured in, it spontaneously gathered on the pale sun overhead through interaction with the plane's rules, giving the sunlight warmth once more.
However, that is not the real sun, but a projection of the Eternal Sun throughout the multiverse. The presence of the fire element strengthens the connection between the two.
Thor then transformed into a crimson meteor, circling the edge of the entire plane and discovering that its area was approximately 200,000 square kilometers, almost comparable to a province in his previous life.
Although the area is not very large, it is enough for him at present. With more resources invested in the future, it can continue to grow.
The seven days and seven nights of fire had completely altered the rules of this small undead plane. The negative energy was purified, making it unable to receive corpses from the main plane, nor rejecting connections with other planes.
The next step is to carry out a major transformation of this plane. Long-term erosion by negative energy has made this place extremely barren and desolate, unsuitable for life.
Thor glanced at the string of numbers following his Essence Balance in his mind and decided to exchange some Aether Crystals to build four massive Elemental Pools.
As the foundation of all matter in the entire multiverse, the four elemental planes have an almost infinite area and are directly connected to the chaotic primordial sea, possessing inexhaustible energy.
The growth of all prime material planes almost entirely draws energy from the four elemental planes. Only when they reach a certain level can they obtain energy from the primordial sea, which symbolizes soil, just as a real object takes root.
Even if Thor leaves it alone, this small undead plane could potentially grow into a complete plane, though that process would take tens of thousands of years and there is a possibility of it collapsing along the way.
Once the four enormous aether crystals were exchanged, more creatures under Thor's command began to pour in, setting out to reshape the entire plane.
Chapter 364 Dimensional Transformation and Harvest
As a small plane, the height of the sky has a clear limit; if you keep flying upwards, you will encounter an invisible barrier.
In the true prime material plane, the sky is directly connected to the astral plane, which is why some races are able to travel between planes using astral spaceships.
Thor mobilized all the metal dragons in his territory, as well as a large number of spellcasters, almost exhausting all his efforts to help him transform this small plane.
They first used adamantite, gold, platinum, and flaming iron to construct a magic circle resembling a sun wheel on the projection of the eternal sun in the sky, and then embedded a huge ether crystal as its core.
The passage to the Fire Elemental Plane was thus opened, and endless fire elements were absorbed by the magic circle. After being transformed by the ether crystals, they were turned into warm sunlight.
By adjusting the intensity of light, it is even possible to achieve the alternation of day and night. The excess fire element, after being absorbed by the ether crystal, can nourish itself and make it even stronger.
Afterwards, Thor dug through the earth and used another aether crystal, along with numerous metal gems mined from the earth elemental plane, to construct another magic circle, which he then buried deep within the earth.
Once the passage to the Earth Elemental Plane is opened, thick earth element will immediately gush out like brown mud. It will nourish the earth, causing it to grow and thicken continuously, and will also give birth to numerous mineral veins.
Another ether crystal, along with the deep-sea crystal and the water-light stone extracted by Thor, together formed an array and were buried in the low-lying northwest of this plane.
Thus, a continuous stream of water gushed forth from the water element plane, including saltwater, freshwater, cold water, and boiling water, until it eventually converged into a vast expanse of rivers, lakes, and seas.
The last ether crystal was naturally embedded at the boundary of the plane, allowing the airflow from the air element plane to flow continuously within this small plane.
When rivers and seas from the water element plane evaporate under the sun's rays, the water vapor is carried by air currents and falls as raindrops on the earth, thus forming the initial cycle.
As the four elements intertwined and gradually gave rise to secondary elements such as ice, lightning, smoke, and swamp, Thor began to sow the seeds of life in this small plane.
Those were grass seeds, tree seeds, and mushroom spores from the Monster Hunter world that he had drawn from the roulette wheel. They drifted freely in the airflow, taking root and growing freely.
In the entire multiverse, the flow of time is not the same in different planes.
Their speed varies; for example, the Fairy Wilderness, which is one of the reflections of the Prime Material Plane, has a completely different time flow than the Prime Material Plane.
Sometimes a creature wanders into the Fairy Wilderness and returns years later to find that only a few minutes have passed in the outside world; other times, after spending only a few minutes in the Fairy Wilderness, it returns to find that thousands of years have passed in the world.
Of course, this is only a very rare case; the time flow rate between most planes is not significantly different.
Generally speaking, smaller planes may have a faster flow of time, perhaps because they are in a "growth" phase.
The time flow in the small plane that Thor occupies is more than ten times that of the prime material plane he is in.
This undoubtedly brought him great convenience in cultivating various plants and animals.
After sowing the seeds, he checked on them again after a while and found that green shoots had already emerged.
Some loyal kobolds and minions were left behind by Thor in this plane to care for the newborn lives and to keep an eye on how the plane was functioning.
If anything unusual happens, they will report it to Thor as soon as possible through the dimensional portal connecting the two sides.
Once the vegetation in this world has grown, Thor will release a large number of creatures into it, and then let the curse of the mad dragon fill the entire world, completely transforming it into his own dragon kingdom.
Besides this, Thor's other gain was a massive amount of spiritual essence.
He glanced at the balance below his spinning wheel; combined with what he had accumulated before, it was enough to redeem another unlocked monster template, plus an ancient dragon template.
This even gave him the idea of randomly choosing a dimension and wreaking havoc.
Unfortunately, in the entire multiverse, almost all intelligent beings have their own abode, and if too many are slaughtered, it will inevitably attract the intervention of the gods.
Legend has it that the earliest humans once built an empire called Imasca. They were masters of spatial magic and constructed permanent portals called the Bucara Spire, spreading their influence throughout the world.
Unfortunately, a group of squid-headed trolls later destroyed the kingdom of Imasca, splitting its entire empire into two parts. A terrible plague then nearly wiped out Lower Imasca.
Due to the drastic population decline and the difficulty of reconstruction, the then-ruler of Lower Imasca, Kotan, ordered the construction of two new portals leading to another prime plane.
Next, they plundered a large number of people from that plane, brought them back to their own plane to serve as slaves, and then closed the two portals and set up a barrier to sever all contact with that plane.
From then on, the Imazka people began to enslave these people. Although the slaves prayed to their gods, the gods could not hear their prayers because of the barrier erected by the Imazka people.
The influx of these slaves restored productivity in Lower Imasca, making it even more prosperous.
Their offspring became the new race known in later generations as the Mulan people.
As time went by, Upper and Lower Imasca were eventually unified under the powerful leadership of the new King of Mechanics, Ormanrod.
This period was also the most powerful period for the Imasca people. They were not only unprecedentedly prosperous, but also produced a great number of talented people. It is said that they enslaved some of the Felinmoku at that time.
However, throughout this process, the Mulan people they ruled never gave up praying to their gods.
Finally, the power of idealism pierced through the barrier set up by the mage Imaska, and their gods finally heard the prayers of the Mulan people and took action.
Finally, in the palace that held the glory of the Imaska people, the last king of the mechanics, Yuvalaji, engaged in a final battle with Horus, the god of the Mulan people, and was ultimately killed on the steps in front of the palace.
The entire capital fell, the Imaska Empire perished, and the world Thor lived in gained a new pantheon called Muhammad.
All of this is merely the result of enslavement; if they were to commit indiscriminate slaughter, they would likely be attacked on the spot by the incarnation of a god.
Only the dead, such as the undead, will not attract the attention of the gods after being massacred.
After all, the god of death advocates returning everything to eternal silence and letting the soul return to the normal cycle of reincarnation, rather than lingering in the world in an incorrect form.
Similar to the undead, demons may also be capable of rampant slaughter, but they often dwell in bottomless abysses, making it far too dangerous to venture there rashly.
Chapter 365 The Fifth Ancient Dragon Template
Thor felt that most of the gods in the world were a little off.
Sometimes they allow their own faith to perish, and other times they fight to the death with other gods for the sake of a few insignificant believers.
There may be a deeper operating logic behind this that he is unaware of, which can only be truly understood by standing at the level of the gods.
However, he didn't dwell on the matter. He strode out of the Crimson Flame Palace with his head held high and leaped towards the crater below.
With so much spiritual essence lying in my balance, I should naturally have a good, satisfying extraction.
The enormous red dragon landed on the volcanic lava, and its immense mass caused it to sink continuously.
The surrounding crimson magma gradually turned orange, then slowly transformed into incandescence, becoming increasingly viscous.
The unprecedented amount of essence led Thor to decide to simply extract two monster templates at once.
He started with the cheaper Ancient Dragon monster template as usual. He focused his consciousness into his mind and gently tapped the roulette wheel. 100,000 essences instantly transformed into a galaxy and poured into it.
The neon-like lights flickered incessantly, but could no longer evoke intense emotional fluctuations in Thor—after all, at his current rate of earning essence, 100,000 essences, while not a small amount, were not particularly difficult to obtain.
Even so, Thor still had some expectations for the results of this draw.
However, when the flashing light stopped, what was drawn on the small square it covered was a huge yellow-green octopus.
Congratulations on obtaining the [Floating Mountain Dragon Monster Template]. Do you wish to withdraw immediately? Yes/No.
The somewhat unfamiliar name made Thor pause for a moment before he could search for information about it in his distant memories.
Although Fuyuelong is named after an ancient dragon, its appearance is so unusual that it is hard to associate it with a dragon. Instead, it looks like a giant octopus floating in the air.
This is an extremely ancient creature, said to date back to the distant ancient times, and it has survived to this day.
It is over forty meters long, spherical in shape, and has an extremely flexible body. Its back is covered with rare plants called dragon moss and dragon wood, resembling a miniature forest.
It is said that due to the long-term nourishment of the energy within the body of the Floating Mountain Dragon, the dragon moss and dragon wood are not only exceptionally tough, but also possess a variety of magical effects.
As an ancient dragon symbolizing the embodiment of nature, the Floating Mountain Dragon naturally has its extraordinary features, but these features do not come from the six tentacles around its body, but from its terrifyingly large appetite.
Whenever it needs to eat, it takes a deep breath and sucks in the selected forest, lake, and soil into its bottomless maw.
According to Monster Hunter Stories 3, there was once an ocean that turned into a desert because the Floating Dragon ate it.
This is clearly not something that can be explained simply by "eating a lot"—after all, the size of the Floating Mountain Dragon is such that even if it were to burst, it still couldn't hold an entire ocean.
Thor was also curious about this, and with a slight tap in his mind, he immediately chose to withdraw the money.
As ripples spread through the void, a round, plump spirit emerged from the scorching magma. Its obese body and dull eyes made it look exactly like a takoyaki doll covered in sauce, prompting Thor to take a bite.
A familiar warm current instantly exploded within my body, surging and spreading to every part of my limbs.
A powerful life force permeates every cell, prompting the blood to continuously improve and purify.
More warm currents flowed into Thor's stomach and internal cavities, transforming into shining runes under the influence of the world's rules, merging into his tough muscles and diaphragm.
At that moment, Thor felt a sharp hunger in his stomach, as if he had returned to the days when he was first born into this world, when he was suffering from hunger and thirst.
So he involuntarily opened his mouth wide and began to devour the surrounding magma. The immense suction drew the viscous, incandescent liquid into his dark throat, creating a cavity underground due to the speed.
