Chapter 1543: Trump Card Failure

There are some high‑level talismans that can be placed on stones and the like.

Before Ye Liuyun could even dodge, the stone hovered in the air, emitting a massive amount of True Essence and a Divine Sense, coalescing into the image of a Martial Cultivator.

The Martial Cultivator stared at Ye Liuyun and asked, "Who are you, daring to scheme against the Imperial Prince?"

The Martial Cultivator was of the Heavenly Sovereign Ninth Rank, and the pressure it released would overwhelm a Martial Cultivator of Ye Liuyun's level.

But Ye Liuyun merely smiled indifferently, feeling that even dodging was unnecessary.

Although the Martial Cultivator's realm was higher, it was only a Divine Sense, and in front of Ye Liuyun it was utterly insignificant.

Ye Liuyun could easily extinguish its Divine Sense, then use Primordial Spirit Secret Technique to absorb that Martial Cultivator's True Essence into his own body.

However, the power the talisman carried was only a single attack from the person who input the True Essence.

It could be used only once; it was not the entirety of a Heavenly Sovereign Ninth Rank Martial Cultivator's True Essence.

Luo Tianming saw his Trump Card utter a sentence before vanishing in the air, and couldn't help being startled.

Seeing his expression, Ye Liuyun laughed and said, "You gave me a fright! Is your talisman expired?"

Meng Zhangxing burst into laughter, sending a Transmission Voice to everyone.

"He still doesn't know that Ye Liuyun can absorb all this energy!"

The crowd had seen Ye Liuyun in Death Valley condense spiritual energy into ferocious beasts, so they all knew he could absorb such power.

Thus they chuckled at Luo Tianming, thinking he was practically begging for trouble.

Luo Tianming, however, thought they were mocking his talisman.

So he tossed another one to try, and it vanished immediately again.

"What's going on?

Could it really be ineffective?"

Luo Tianming instantly threw out several more, and each met the same result.

"Hahaha, what kind of talisman is this?

Is it just meant to preserve someone's appearance for nostalgia?"

Ye Liuyun deliberately mocked Luo Tianming.

Luo Tianming had intended to intimidate Ye Liuyun, but instead made a fool of himself, leaving him feeling embarrassed.

He still had many such talismans, hoping they'd break through the great formation, but they all failed.

"Hmph! My Trump Card is more than just these!"

With that, he released a fire‑red giant python charging at Ye Liuyun.

The python was engulfed in flames, clearly a fire‑attribute ferocious beast.

The Asura tried to send a Yin Soul to block, but Ye Liuyun stopped it.

"Never mind, let it come!"

Ye Liuyun said, releasing the Flame Lion as well.

Both are Heavenly Sovereign Ninth Rank beasts; just let the two fight!

Ye Liuyun also told the Flame Lion, "If you can't kill it, then die here! I don't want to take a useless one out!"

The Flame Lion, hearing that, grew impatient; it hadn't had enough of Ye Liuyun's Xuan Kong Shi yet!

Advancing from Heavenly Sovereign Ninth Rank to the Divine Realm usually requires a longer time to breakthrough.

And Ye Liuyun's Xuan Kong Shi is his best accelerator.

So this time the Flame Lion unleashed its full vigor, battling the fire python head‑on.

At that moment, Luo Tianming released a white Ice Bear, also of the Heavenly Sovereign Ninth Rank, radiating cold as it lunged at Ye Liuyun.

Before reaching him, it roared at Ye Liuyun, and a blast of cold instantly encased him in ice.

Ye Liuyun originally intended to counter with Golden Crow Holy Fire, but recalling that Lei Ming could also absorb cold, he merely used Golden Crow Holy Fire to shield himself, preventing the cold from truly freezing him.

The Ice Power he redirected straight into his Space World, letting Lei Ming absorb it.

The Ice Bear then charged forward, slapping at Ye Liuyun, trying to shatter him into ice shards.

Unexpectedly, the Ice Power on Ye Liuyun vanished quickly.

"Boom," and Ye Liuyun was flung straight away by the Ice Bear.

The onlookers all let out a gasp.

They knew Ye Liuyun possessed Fire Flame Power, but didn't realize he could also absorb Ice Power, and truly thought the slap would be shattered by the Ice Bear.

Luo Tianming felt a surge of secret delight, still believing Ye Liuyun would be killed by that Ice Bear's strike.

However, Ye Liuyun brushed the dust off himself and stood up immediately.

He kept mocking Luo Tianming, "The beasts you hoard seem weak! Is your storage space malfunctioning?"

Luo Tianming was stunned by the words.

In his view, Ye Liuyun couldn't possibly block a Heavenly Sovereign Ninth Rank Ice Bear attack with just his Physical Body.

The fact that he could now block it suggested the beast's attack had weakened.

"Could my storage space really be malfunctioning?"

He was genuinely beginning to doubt.

But the Ice Bear, hearing that, became enraged.

After all, being mocked by a low‑realm Martial Cultivator, how could it not be angry?

So it released Ice Power again, slashing straight at Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun was flung again and frozen into a statue.

The Ice Bear then charged forward fiercely, striking repeatedly.

Yet no matter how it struck, even scattering ice shards, Ye Liuyun remained unharmed.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Crow Holy Fire has already reached the divine realm, so he puts up his protection, completely fine.

The remaining Ice Power now depends on how much Lei Ming can absorb.

Each strike of the ice bear is actually the Ice Power that Lei Ming couldn't absorb; it's an ice seal formed by the bear using its own True Essence.

The ice bear fought for half a day, panting exhausted, while Ye Liuyun remained unharmed.

It also looked at its own palms in surprise, expressing doubt.

Moreover, the Ice Power on Ye Liuyun's body is also disappearing quickly.

It also isn't sure whether its own power has weakened.

At that moment, the fire python let out another miserable cry.

In the Flame Lion's desperate state, the fire python was ambushed by it using spatial power, directly having its core pellet dug out, thrown into its own mouth, and digested and absorbed.

Afterwards, the fire python became the Flame Lion's food, after being bitten to death and stored away.

Luo Tianming, upon seeing this, became even more doubtful, thinking his storage ring had a problem.

"It seems these two ferocious beasts have indeed both weakened!"

He is now becoming increasingly lacking in confidence.

The ice bear, seeing Ye Liuyun as very strange, felt it was hard to deal with, so it decided to go deal with the Flame Lion.

The Flame Lion, having absorbed the fire python's core pellet, and being of the same attribute True Essence, now its True Essence is rapidly recovering.

Meanwhile, the ice bear, after expending for half a day, has not received any replenishment.

So when they clashed, the ice bear immediately fell into a disadvantage, its white fur scorched black in large patches.

Luo Tianming also thus confirmed: "My storage ring indeed seems to have a problem!"
