Chapter 688: Fire Flame Power

When Yan Gang's wave of fire sea surged forward, Ye Liuyun was immediately engulfed, and the spectators only saw a blaze, not a person.

Ye Liuyun, at that moment, laughed. A layer of golden‑red flame surrounded his body.

"Playing with fire against me, you're still too weak! Since you sent me energy, I can't refuse!"

Instantly, the Golden Crow Holy Fire, upon touching the surrounding flames, began to devour them.

Moreover, the devouring was extremely fast; the raging fire sea Yan Gang created shrank at a visible speed.

"Heh, this kid's Fire Flame Power is even stronger!" Tuoba Qi saw it and also laughed.

Yan Gang remained oblivious; when the flames vanished and Ye Liuyun reappeared, he felt a bit surprised.

"What artifact did you use?" he asked, puzzled.

"Heh, it's because you're useless! Your Fire Flame Power is too weak to even hurt me!" Ye Liuyun mocked.

Some spectators joined in the mockery.

"What did you say?" Yan Gang's face turned pale again. "I made you go berserk!"

Saying that, he mobilized more True Essence and struck at Ye Liuyun.

"Flames raging to the heavens!"

Ye Liuyun also showed a shocked expression.

He was amazed at Yan Gang's insight, which was pitifully scarce.

"Has he never encountered anyone who can absorb Fire Flame Power before? How could there be such a fool?"

Yan Gang's behavior made several masters shake their heads. Isn't he just handing energy to the opponent to be absorbed!

Even Tuoba Qi couldn't help but curse, "Where the hell did that fool come from!"

"Ha ha, now see how I can break you!" Only Yan Gang, self‑confident, laughed.

Ye Liuyun, fearing a trick, absorbed the Fire Flame Power while concentrating fully on defense.

Yet even after he re‑absorbed all that power, he noticed nothing unusual.

"How… how is this possible?" Yan Gang exclaimed in astonishment.

It's not unreasonable that he didn't expect Ye Liuyun to absorb his fire.

His Fire Flame Power originated from a volcano beyond the realm. The flame power released by that volcano carried a certain toxicity.

He had previously met someone who absorbed his fire, but they died from poisoning.

However, Ye Liuyun absorbed his fire through the Golden Crow Holy Fire.

The Golden Crow Holy Fire only takes in the purest flame power; any toxic impurities are instantly burned away.

Ye Liuyun felt his Golden Crow Holy Fire grow stronger, and his own True Essence also progressed, approaching the later stage of the third Yin‑Yang level.

If this guy lands another punch, I'll reach the later stage of the third level.

Ye Liuyun immediately said, "I'll just stand here unmoving; you can't do anything to me, yet you keep bragging! What a useless one!"

Ye Liuyun noticed that Yan Gang was especially prideful, so he employed a provocation tactic.

"Impossible! I don't believe it!"

This time, Yan Gang used all his remaining power, even his Bloodline Power, to activate his Guardian God Seal.

His Guardian God Seal turned out to be a volcano.

With a roar, the volcano erupted, spewing a torrent of blazing lava that poured straight toward Ye Liuyun.

"Enough!" Ye Liuyun felt a surge of joy; as the lava approached, he again wrapped himself with Golden Crow Holy Fire and began to absorb it.

"I've reached the later stage of the third level!"

After absorbing all that energy, Ye Liuyun finally advanced to the later stage of the third Yin‑Yang realm.

"Ha ha, fool! I really should thank you! But you still have to die!"

Without waiting for the lava to burn out completely, Ye Liuyun unleashed the strongest strike of Bà Tiān Divine Fist.

"Thunder Fire Overlord!"

A pure golden True Essence, flashing with blood‑red thunder light and golden‑red flame, tore through the void.

Wherever it passed, even the air was shattered, carving a vacuum tunnel.

This punch's power also combined Blood Thunder and Golden Crow Holy Fire, at least twice as strong as his previous Thunder Fire Overlord.

Ye Liuyun was very satisfied with this result, at least he hadn't wasted his research on the Sky‑Piercing Palm.

"Boom!"

This punch struck directly on Yan Gang's Guardian God Seal. Because of its speed, it created a hole in the seal, then slammed into Yan Gang's body.

"Ah…"

Yan Gang's startled cry was cut short as he was shattered into pieces.

His True Essence was nearly exhausted, unable to block Ye Liuyun's punch.

Afterwards, his Guardian God Seal gradually dissipated.

When the crowd saw him, he had become a pool of blood and flesh.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun was absorbing the remaining lava power to replenish his own consumption.

The audience, witnessing the bloody scene, cheered.

The strong ones, however, could only shake their heads helplessly; some even suspected Yan Gang was a stooge hired by Ye Liuyun. Otherwise, how could he be so foolish?

Tuoba Qi, upon seeing Ye Liuyun's punch, nodded silently.

"That punch does have some merit! Looks like this kid also has a chance at thirty consecutive victories."

Ye Liuyun's punch fused Bloodline, True Essence, and Physical Body power, and also carried Blood Thunder and Golden Crow Holy Fire.

Therefore many masters discerned its principle and began to treat Ye Liuyun with caution.

Qu Xuefeng and Qiu Tianyang exchanged glances, worry flashing in their eyes.

"If he throws this punch with all his strength, I might not be able to block it!" Qiu Tianyang said calmly.

He evidently saw that this punch was not yet Ye Liuyun's full strength.

The True Essence‑depleted Yan Gang was not worth Ye Liuyun using his full strength at that time.

"He's an opponent!" Qu Xuefeng also set aside his contempt and acknowledged Ye Liuyun's strength.

After Ye Liuyun absorbed the residual power of the lava, the steward referee came over and asked him whether he wanted to continue directly.

Ye Liuyun sensed his own True Essence; after replenishing, although it was not full, it had not been depleted much.

"Let's fight again directly!" He replied decisively.

Upon hearing this, the spectators all cheered for him.

Soon, a Martial Cultivator at the Yin‑Yang Triple stage was arranged to go up.

"Tie Niu!"

"Tie Niu!"

The spectators began cheering again.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil also glanced at the opponent.

Most people judged his physical strength from the Martial Cultivator's appearance, because his muscles were solid throughout, like cast bronze and iron.

But Ye Liuyun was not deceived by appearances; he habitually used his Golden Pupil to directly observe the opponent's internal condition, examining his body‑refining method, and the strength of his Soul, blood vessels, and True Essence.

"This person trains very evenly!" After observing him, Ye Liuyun concluded that if one considered this person's physical body strong but his Soul relatively weak, and rashly attacked his Soul, one would surely suffer a great loss.

After observing for a while, Ye Liuyun drew a conclusion: if he thought this person's Physical Body was strong but his Soul relatively weak, then rashly attacking his Soul would surely result in a great loss.
