Chapter 1643: Pulling Teeth from a Tiger's Mouth

"Rush into that big guy's body?" Ye Liuyun found it unbelievable.

"Who dares to go in? Its fire flame power is now too strong, that's like pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth! If it absorbs it again, it will become even invincible!"

Ye Liuyun sighed.

"We'll go in together!" Qiong Qi explained.

"The three of us together?" Ye Liuyun asked.

"No, several strong ones need to go in!" Qiong Qi said firmly.

"If we fail, we die honorably?" Ye Liuyun also understood Qiong Qi's meaning!

At that moment, the Fire Spirit let out a roar, suddenly taking the shape of a Flame Lion, and slammed a claw toward the Formation Plate.

Ye Liuyun immediately set up two more Formation Plates, realizing they couldn't hold it back.

"Quick, bring me, my clone, Fire Dance and a few of the highest-level fire‑attribute Martial Cultivators, then bring Man Shu, Wu Qingcheng, and Little Blue Ice, and you rush in. After you rush in, release all those people!" Qiong Qi urged Ye Liuyun.

"I'll go, you really think highly of me!" Ye Liuyun was also a bit worried, fearing he couldn't endure it.

"You have armor, you have a divine‑realm Physical Body, what are you afraid of! As long as you don't die in the moment, that's fine!" Qiong Qi said indifferently.

"Alright, I remember you!"

Ye Liuyun gritted his teeth and cursed, then called out to the people Qiong Qi had named: "Don't resist; I will pull you into Space World, and once we breach the Fire Spirit's body, I'll release you immediately. Then fire‑attribute Martial Cultivators should absorb as much as possible, and ice‑attribute Martial Cultivators should unleash their Ice Power at full force!"

The selected disciples, upon hearing this, all shivered and showed fear on their faces.

Only Ye Liuyun dared to do this—enter the Fire Spirit's body of a divine‑realm strongman to absorb its fire flame power and perform ice sealing.

"Boom!"

At that moment, the second Formation Plate also began to collapse. After the Fire Spirit struck it with another claw, the last Formation Plate could no longer hold.

The situation was urgent, leaving no time for thought, so the others had no choice but to obey.

"I'll stay to hold it back!" Long Nv suddenly spoke, brandishing the Sea King's Trident and spraying water directly at the Fire Spirit.

For a moment, steam rose everywhere, obscuring the Fire Spirit's sight.

"Good! Hurry, seize the moment." Qiong Qi urged.

Ye Liuyun tossed more than ten Formation Plates to Long Nv, and taking advantage of the steam and haze, rushed straight out.

The opposing Fire Spirit, also bombarded by a torrent of seawater, kept retreating.

Wherever seawater hit, the flames were instantly extinguished. However, its realm is now too strong and will recover quickly.

The steam would also dissipate quickly. The air here is too dry, causing moisture to evaporate unusually fast.

After Ye Liuyun surged out, Long Nv again fully powered the Sea King's Trident, accelerating the water spray to maintain the density of the steam and haze.

Ye Liuyun seized the chance with a sudden thrust, plunging into the Fire Spirit's body.

The moment he entered, the armor showed signs of melting.

Ye Liuyun simultaneously released his own fire flame power to resist the heat while trying to absorb the flame's strength.

Then, gritting his teeth, Ye Liuyun released everyone.

He himself could not hold on at all; he had to have everyone contribute.

"Ah!"

Ye Liuyun couldn't endure the intense flame and couldn't help shouting.

The others were the same; at first they used their armor to block briefly, then immediately began releasing ice and absorbing the flame.

But many were still burned. Only the ice‑attribute people suffered minor injuries, though their True Essence was consumed quickly.

Fire‑attribute Martial Cultivators absorbed the flame in large amounts, especially Ye Liuyun, his clone, and Qiong Qi and other strong ones, absorbing even faster, causing the Fire Spirit's size to shrink rapidly.

Man Shu and the others released Ice Power without reservation, helping relieve the pressure on everyone.

Outside, Long Nv kept attacking the Fire Spirit with seawater; all ice‑attribute Martial Cultivators were desperately expending Ice Power, so the Fire Spirit's size shrank at a visibly bodily rate.

At this point, Ye Liuyun also began pulling people into Space World.

Ice‑attribute Martial Cultivators' True Essence was depleting fast; if they kept holding on, they'd be annihilated.

Ye Liuyun didn't wait for them to speak, activated his Golden Pupil to observe, and as soon as someone's True Essence was about to run out, he immediately pulled them into Space World. Man Shu was the last he retrieved.

By then, many fire‑attribute Martial Cultivators had already fallen out of the Fire Spirit's body.

As the Fire Spirit's body rapidly shrank, it could no longer contain so many people inside!

At this moment, Ye Liuyun's armor had completely melted, fusing with his Physical Body. Such scorching pain is not something ordinary people can endure.

The Martial Cultivators who fell out of the spirit's body were immediately rescued by other disciples. Each suffered severe burns.

But their strength all surged dramatically.

Even Wu Qingcheng, Man Shu and the others were the same. After returning to Space World, some began to breakthrough realms. It was the result of fully exerting themselves under such great danger.

Ye Liuyun and his clone both felt their fire flame power suddenly jump a level. It felt different from ordinary strengthening.

Qiong Qi's realm directly rose to the Ninth Level of Celestial Sovereign, allowing even faster absorption.

Subsequently, Ye Liuyun and his clone withdrew, handing all their fire flame power to Qiong Qi.

He now also needs to pause and digest for a while; otherwise, the Golden Crow Holy Fire would be devoured by these flames.

Long Nv immediately rushed out, bringing Ye Liuyun and his clone back into the Formation Plate.

But facing Ye Liuyun, she was at a loss, only feeling so sorry she began to weep.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun's armor had fully melted into his skin. He had endured the strongest and longest flame, so only he was severely injured; his clone was unharmed.

Long Nv dared not use water to cool Ye Liuyun. Cooling immediately after such high heat would cause the skin to split.

Ye Liuyun now thought a short pain is better than a lingering one. If he delayed further, the armor would become even harder to shed.

But he also felt Long Nv's water wasn't strong enough. So he forced himself back to Space World, asked Man Shu for help, and directly froze his skin to crack it off.

"Are you sure?" Man Shu looked at Ye Liuyun, feeling reluctant at heart.

"There's no other way. If we keep dragging it out, it'll be even harder to shed! Maintaining this is more painful; better to make it quick and clean!" Ye Liuyun reassured her.

"Alright then! You have to endure a bit!" Man Shu also agreed.

"Come on, it's fine, I can hold on!" Ye Liuyun knows he has the Ten Thousand Gods Command, so he definitely won't faint.

Man Shu waved her hand, moving Ye Liuyun inside Xuecheng so as not to affect others' cultivation.

Her Ice Power also seeped into Ye Liuyun's skin.

A faint "clack" sound immediately emitted from Ye Liuyun's body, and he began to freeze.
