[Ding! The fusion array is starting!]

[Ding! Current fusion progress: 0.1%!]

The entire volcanic site began to shake violently, like an earthquake.

"My God, what's going on?!"

"Is a volcano about to erupt? Let's run!"

"The shaking is getting more and more intense!"

"Waaaaah, I don't want to die!"

...

Panic spread through the crowd, but it didn't last long. Except for Wang Xiaoyi, everyone inside the volcano stronghold was repelled by an invisible force.

The floating island appeared above the volcano stronghold, and a massive array was projected down from it!

Under the influence of the formation, the volcanic stronghold began to gradually decompose, and then turned into data fragments that were absorbed by the floating island.

As the volcanic stronghold continued to erode, its core gradually came into view, revealing an enormous fire-attribute crystal before everyone.

"How much energy can such a large crystal provide!"

"I can feel the rich fire-attribute spiritual energy just by standing here. If I had a crystal, I would definitely be able to break through to the Nascent Soul realm very quickly."

"I think I'm about to break through! This crystal is just too amazing!"

"Waaaaah, I want one too!"

...

Everyone sighed in amazement upon seeing the fire-attribute crystal.

The fire-attribute crystal did not turn into data fragments, but instead flew into the interior of the floating island.

[Ding! Current fusion progress: 50%!]

[Ding! Floating Island Expansion Begins!]

The walls of the floating island disappeared, and then the island's glass-like ground began to expand outwards!

The entire process was very short, taking less than half an hour to complete the expansion.

[Ding! Current fusion progress: 70%!]

[Ding! Initiating the Floating Island Feature Fusion!]

The enormous fire-attribute crystal began to fuse within the floating island, a process that would take much longer than the expansion itself!

It took a full half-day for the entire fusion process of the floating island to be completed.

[Ding! Current fusion progress: 100%!]

[Ding! Please check the status after fusion!]

After the expansion, the area of ​​the floating island increased significantly, more than five times larger than before. The original floating island was only 25 square kilometers, but after the expansion, it is now 130 square kilometers.

To the east of the floating island, a small volcano appeared, about 3 meters high and about 10 meters in radius, with dense fire-attribute spiritual energy rising from its crater.

Wang Xiaoyi spent another 10 trillion game coins to rebuild the city walls and construct a large number of residences for the newly recruited players.

Wang Xiaoyi opened the system interface of the floating island to view its information.

On the floating island's information interface, a new line of content appears, called "[Fusion Characteristics]".

"Let me see what effects Fire Spirit Descent has!" Wang Xiaoyi clicked on the detailed information of Fire Spirit Descent.

Fire Spirit Descends: [Fire attribute spiritual energy concentration increased by 500%] [Fire attribute cultivation speed increased by 100%] [Probability of fire attribute cultivators breaking through realms increased by 500%]

"Oh, not bad! But the cultivation technique I practice isn't fire-attribute, so it's not very useful to me!" Wang Xiaoyi said with a bit of regret.

However, it's useless for Wang Xiaoyi, but it's very useful for the players on the floating island.

After the floating island was fully integrated, Wang Xiaoyi drove it to a stop at the original location of the volcano stronghold.

In just over half a day, the huge volcano disappeared.

Players who were originally at the volcano stronghold now felt that their worldview had been completely overturned.

In less than a day, the original leader, Zhang Kuang, was strangled to death by a simpleton. Then, the volcano stronghold that everyone relied on was uprooted and disappeared completely.

The volcanic stronghold is a blessed land, rich in fire-attribute spiritual energy, and also has a protective mountain formation!

As long as you consume fire-attribute crystals, you can start the mountain-protecting formation!

In the early stages of the Beast Hunt version, Zhang Kuang was able to survive wave after wave of crises precisely because of the Mountain Protection Formation!

Originally, Zhang Kuang, as the owner of the volcano stronghold, could have activated the volcano's protective array. However, Wu Ling did not follow the usual path and immediately locked his throat, giving Zhang Kuang no chance to activate the mountain-protecting array.

Zhang Kuang is simply the epitome of bad luck!

After the gates of the floating island opened, the people who were originally at the volcano stronghold began to tour the island like country bumpkins visiting the city!

"What is this floor made of? It's completely one piece, and you can't even see any seams!"

"Is it just my imagination? It feels like the spiritual energy here is even more concentrated than the spiritual energy in the secret chamber of the volcano stronghold!"

"Come and see! This looks like the volcano outpost, only much smaller!"

"The fire-attribute spiritual energy here is amazing! If I cultivate here for half a day—no, just half an hour—I can break through to the Golden Core realm!"

"These houses are so beautiful, even nicer than the eldest brother's old house, but I don't think they were built for us!"

"Such a huge cannon barrel, that's terrifying! It feels like several of me could fit inside this barrel!"

...

Players at the Volcano Outpost were like country bumpkins visiting the Grand View Garden, finding everything fascinating!

At this moment, Wang Xiaoyi calmly observed everyone's reactions and spoke with a Versailles-like air.

"Hehehe, this is the empire I've built for you!"

Wang Xiaoyi: <(￣︶￣)>

Wang Xiaoyi's signature smile reappeared on his face.

"It's time to check on my mission progress!"

After a long day's work, Mr. Wang began to inspect the fruits of his labor!
