Chapter 599: Flame Palace Fire Source

In a battle of such strongmen, disciples below the Heavenly Gang Realm cannot even charge through; the mere battle aftershocks can strangle them.

So the participants can only be a few strongmen of the Heavenly Gang Realm.

The Skeleton Puppet still took them one move at a time, cutting down many Flame Palace Elders as easily as slicing fruit.

Ye Liuyun and the others were swift as well; unless they faced a strongman like Yan Jiu, they could kill one with only a few moves.

Wu Qingcheng and Yu Er teamed up against the Flame Palace Master and even gained the upper hand.

The Flame Palace Master's surrounding flames were forced by the two to within a yard, and the distance kept shrinking.

Seeing the pressing Ice Power, the Flame Palace Master was helpless.

"Yan Jiu! You've doomed the Flame Palace!" the Flame Palace Master sighed at last, gave up resistance, and was sealed into an ice statue.

The entire Flame Palace was at a disadvantage, and the number of Elders kept dwindling.

After Ye Liuyun and his group eliminated all the Flame Palace Elders, they headed straight for the Flame Palace Treasure Vault.

As for the Yuan Dan Realm disciples in the distance, Ye Liuyun did not intend to slaughter them all.

By the time they emptied the Treasure Vault, many disciples had already fled the Flame Palace.

Ye Liuyun announced to the remaining disciples, "From today the Flame Palace no longer exists! Find another Sect to join! Anyone who stays beyond two hours will be killed without mercy!"

Then Ye Liuyun struck once more, smashing the Flame Palace's Grand Hall into powder.

Afterwards, Ye Liuyun ordered everyone to wait on the spot, he stored the Skeleton Puppet and rushed toward the Flame Palace Back Mountain. The others stayed put, ready to clear the Flame Palace disciples later.

Lie Hongxia and Lie Hongyun were completely stunned at that moment!

"The Flame Palace has fallen?" Lie Hongxia could hardly believe it. She had always relied on the Flame Palace's strength, never caring about others. Now her backing had collapsed with a thunderous crash, and she couldn't accept it.

"Master, Palace Master, and those Elders are all dead! What shall we do?" Lie Hongyun was also dazed, unable to face reality.

Lie Hongyun fared slightly better; his Soul was damaged but still had a chance to recover. Lie Hongxia, without resources, would be doomed to an irrecoverable state.

Having left the Flame Palace and defected to another Sect midway, they were destined to receive little investment. Thus for Lie Hongxia, it was as if her Martial Cultivator path had been sentenced to end.

Lie Hongyun was still relatively fine; at least his strength remained.

"We harmed the Master, the Sect, and ourselves!" Lie Hongxia finally admitted it was her fault that caused all this.

"Sister, stop thinking about it; winners become kings, losers become bandits. Let's go, I'll support you from now on!" Lie Hongyun hoisted Lie Hongxia onto his back and left the Flame Palace.

They still worried that Ye Liuyun might deliberately trouble the two of them, since the disaster's root lay with them.

Ye Liuyun never intended to cause them trouble. At this moment he sensed an extremely strong Fire Flame Power in the Flame Palace Back Mountain.

The Flame Palace must have a fire source for disciples to cultivate Fire Flame Power. Since Ye Liuyun had arrived, he would not miss the chance to seize it.

In the Flame Palace Back Mountain, Fire Flame Power burst from a Cave. Even before approaching, Ye Liuyun could feel its vigor.

He immediately activated the Golden Crow Holy Fire and walked toward the Cave, absorbing the flame's power as he went.

The temperature inside the Cave rose further. Ye Liuyun sensed fire elements filling the air throughout the Cave.

His Golden Crow Holy Fire could also freely absorb and grow within this Cave.

"Indeed, a good place for cultivation!"

Ye Liuyun, while sighing, did not stop but continued deeper into the Cave.

The Cave spiraled downward, not dark, with faint firelight emanating from below.

The deeper he went, the more Fire Flame Power he could absorb.

"If the energy is sufficient, I can break through to the Yin-Yang Realm here!"

Thinking that, he quickened his pace uncontrollably and soon saw bright crimson fire.

The heat was barely noticeable to Ye Liuyun, whose body was shielded by Golden Crow Holy Fire, yet the surrounding rocks had melted into smooth, rounded forms.

Going further down, he gradually felt the temperature rise.

"It seems this flame's power is stronger than my Golden Crow Holy Fire!"

Ye Liuyun was pondering when he faintly heard a phoenix cry.

"A phoenix cry? Could there really be a fire phoenix?"

Hearing the sound, Ye Liuyun hurried toward the bottom of the Cave.

The Cave's bottom was a large circular depression. From a distance nothing was visible inside, only a swirling ball of fiery red light.

Ye Liuyun activated his Golden Pupil and was startled by what he saw.

It was a fire‑red egg!

The shell bore delicate patterns depicting a phoenix.

"Could this be a phoenix egg? If it hatches, it might instantly reach the Yin-Yang Realm!"

The terrifying power within the phoenix egg seemed to already reach the mid‑stage of the Yin-Yang Realm.

As he examined the egg, a burst of red flame leapt out, forming a fire phoenix that lunged at Ye Liuyun.

The fire phoenix's power, though weaker than the whole egg, equated to an attack of a Yin Yang Yi Chong Martial Cultivator.

Ye Liuyun did not dare to be careless; he summoned all his strength, using Mixed Primordial War God to blast the fire phoenix apart. Then the Golden Crow Holy Fire swirled around him, absorbing its energy.

Subsequently, several more fire phoenixes sprang from the red egg, attacking Ye Liuyun, and he absorbed them all.

Each fire phoenix contained the power of a Yin Yang Yi Chong level; though not fully absorbable, their combined energy was enough to raise Ye Liuyun's realm to the Heavenly Gang Realm Ninth Layer Late Stage.

Moreover, with these flames, the quality of the Golden Crow Holy Fire's flame was markedly enhanced.

"Indeed, a sacred cultivation site!"

Ye Liuyun was absorbing vigorously, but the phoenix egg seemed to realize it couldn't defeat Ye Liuyun, and stopped expending power to release fire phoenixes against him.

"Since you won't attack me, I'll just absorb you directly!"

With that thought, Ye Liuyun unleashed Golden Crow Holy Fire, enveloped the phoenix egg, and directly absorbed its power.

The Golden Crow Holy Fire completely sealed the phoenix egg; it could no longer release fire phoenixes.
