Chapter 2814: Absorbing Completely

"Let's go up!"

Ye Liuyun needed to seize the moment, first fully absorb this Thunder and Lightning Power, then go reinforce others, so without further delay, he took Lei Ming and charged upward into the thunder.

Under everyone's gaze, the two, bearing thunder, rushed straight into the dark clouds. Above the clouds, a massive Thunder Source Pool continued to gather Thunder and Lightning Power.

"Not bad!" Lei Ming said after seeing the Thunder Source Pool, nodding with satisfaction.

"Seize the chance to cultivate Thunder and Lightning Power; it's a rare opportunity!" Ye Liuyun, also pleased with the Thunder Source Pool, pulled Lei Ming in, then had Lei Ming draw out the Thunder Strike Stone, and together they absorbed the Thunder and Lightning Power.

Arcing bolts kept flashing in the cloud layer, yet no more Thunder and Lightning Power struck down.

"Strike!" Wen Yuan urged Feng Qiong from the side.

"It must be those two causing trouble; the thunder won't strike!" Feng Qiong said, a bit anxious.

"Then switch to flame, and use a hurricane to spread the fire!" Enke remained calm; after all, these are just auxiliary measures— even without them, his Golden Tiger Legion would wipe out all these Human Martial Cultivators.

Feng Qiong helplessly glanced at the distant thunder source in the sky. It was too far; even sending a Foreign Tribe strongman to investigate would be too late.

The Void‑blocking formation not only limited Ye Liuyun and his group's speed in the air, but also constrained them. Sending anyone that far to scout would surely be intercepted by more strong opponents.

Thus Feng Qiong could no longer attend to the thunder source and began to wield power again, summoning Heavenly Fire.

Beneath the oppressive black clouds, clusters of fire clouds suddenly appeared, immediately spewing fireballs downward.

Zhu Que let out a fierce howl, revealed his true form, rose into the air and surged toward the fireballs, swallowing them one by one. Though the Void‑blocking formation existed, it affected him little as a bird. Moreover, the fireballs were aimed at their army, so he didn't need great speed; hovering in place, he could catch them.

Even any that slipped through, his duplicate would catch below, also absorbing the flame's power.

"This… must be those Fu Yang traitors, giving these humans a head start!" Feng Qiong said, exasperated. The fireballs hadn't even reached the ground before being absorbed, rendering them useless.

"If Heavenly Fire fails, use Earth Fire!" Wen Yuan quickly reminded him.

"Fine!" Feng Qiong, helpless, could only unleash Earth Fire again.

Earth Fire is the opposite of Heavenly Fire; it is Yin Fire. The two flames, yin and yang, complement each other.

Earth Fire erupted from below without warning, catching a squad of soldiers completely by surprise.

"Deploy the Spirit Cat Warship!" Yu Xiaofeng immediately ordered the entire army.

Thus every soldier in each formation instantly released a Spirit Cat Warship; the troops stood atop the warships, continuing to raise their shields in defense.

The Spirit Cat Warships rose into the sky, distancing themselves from the ground. The duplicates mainly went about gathering Earth Fire.

"It seems the opponent is well prepared. You should conserve your strength!" Enke also advised Feng Qiong.

Feng Qiong released Thunder and Lightning Power, Heavenly Fire, and Earth Fire, which actually required massive energy to commune with Heavenly Earth and gather these forces. His own power alone was insufficient to unleash even a single force; the support came from the Primordial Power of his Space World.

Now these attacks were ineffective, so Enke reminded him to save some energy.

Feng Qiong felt embarrassed. "I'll try again!" he insisted.

Thus, he concentrated all his power into Heavenly Fire; the three forces dispersed, and he could not sustain it. He could only focus on a single force for attack.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun and Lei Ming had already absorbed a great amount of Thunder and Lightning Power. Little Thunder Source remained. Ye Liuyun immediately recalled Lei Ming to the Space World and gathered the remaining Thunder Source into the Thunder Strike Stone.

At this moment, the clouds above gradually dispersed, revealing the fire‑burned clouds below. Because Feng Qiong had amplified Heavenly Fire, Zhu Que on the ground was struggling, while the duplicate kept collecting Earth Fire.

Ye Liuyun immediately went to aid Zhu Que, plunging once more into the fire‑burned clouds to absorb Fire Flame Power.

"Huh? Why is this Fire Flame Power also weak?" Feng Qiong, after a long effort and considerable energy loss, saw no increase in Heavenly Fire's strength.

In the end, he could only reluctantly give up, preparing to hand the battlefield over to Enke.

Ye Liuyun, his duplicate, and Zhu Que quickly absorbed all the Fire Flame Power, then combined it.

Zhu Que's strength received a great boost; Ye Liuyun recalled him to the Space World to consolidate. He and his duplicate exchanged some yin and yang fire sources, balancing both sides' flame power, and gave the duplicate all the Thunder Strike Stones so he could keep enhancing Thunder and Lightning Power.

Yu Xiaofeng also ordered the army to retract the Spirit Cat Warships, landing them back on the ground.

Both sides' first clash was impressive in scale, yet the attacks were harmless, causing no damage to Ye Liuyun's side. Conversely, all the various forces drawn by Feng Qiong were completely absorbed by Ye Liuyun.

"It would be best to capture that guy; with him, we'll never lack Thunder and Lightning or flame cultivation!" Ye Liuyun and his duplicate both kept an eye on the Foreign Tribe Elder Feng Qiong.

Feng Qiong, on the opposite side, was left speechless, no tears, as all the power he unleashed was countered by the enemy. He raged, cursing Duan Jiao and Fu Yang, accusing them of leaking the secret.

Enke ignored him and ordered the army to prepare for an attack.

"In the end, it still comes down to strength!" he thought to himself.

Only, he hadn't expected how powerful Ye Liuyun truly was.

With a wave of his hand, the Golden Armor Army began marching in unison, thundering toward Ye Liuyun's side. They didn't fly over immediately, intending to conserve True Essence.

In the past, their fierce aura alone would have intimidated opponents. This time, however, they faced the Sharp Blade Corps.

All soldiers of the Sharp Blade Corps also exuded killing intent, standing coldly in place, awaiting their attack.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun also began summoning the Gate of the Underworld. The process was somewhat slow, but the Foreign Tribe's assault was not swift, giving him ample time to prepare.

Although the Gate of the Nether Realm had not yet manifested, the Nether Realm's Yin Qi began to spread.

"What is that aura?" Enke, while commanding the army, fully unleashed his Divine Sense, monitoring any movement from the opponent, and immediately sensed the intense Yin Qi.

Moreover, the Yin Qi grew stronger, converging and gradually shrouding the battlefield in gloom.

"Could the opponent have cultivators of Yin Soul or the like?" Enke wondered. If they truly possessed such a strongman, their power would likely surpass the Ninth Realm.
