"Let’s hurry over and assess the situation first!"

Ye Liuyun could already feel the Golden Crow Sacred Flame trembling within his body. It had sensed that terrifying flame power and clearly told Ye Liuyun that this flame force was far stronger than itself.

He saw ice-attribute cultivators and soldiers using their ice powers to resist the scorching heat waves, fearing that if they delayed too long, their true essence would be depleted and they wouldn’t be able to help in battle.

Even if he didn’t fight this time, he needed to first investigate the fire phoenix’s true strength.

Thus, everyone accelerated toward the Flaming Thousand Burial Mountain.

Qiong Qi took out his broken furnace again, looking nervous as he prepared to collect the flames.

He knew this was an opportunity Ye Liuyun had given him, so he felt grateful in his heart and didn’t want to waste it.

But just before they approached the Flaming Thousand Burial Mountain, two peak ninth-realm fire-attribute experts suddenly jumped out.

"Who dares force their way into the Flaming Thousand Burial Mountain? Don’t you know this is Crown Prince’s territory?"

These two cultivators’ fire attributes were quite strong, and their realms were solid. Ye Liuyun estimated they were experts Jiang Yuntian had arranged to guard this place.

So without wasting words, he immediately used time power, released his divine soul, rushed into their seas of consciousness, planted slave seals on both of them, and searched their souls for information.

These two cultivators were indeed arranged by Jiang Yuntian to guard the fire phoenix Spirit. They had both seen that spirit. When Ye Liuyun saw the image of that spirit in their seas of consciousness, he also began to worry—these people might not be a match for that spirit.

The spirit’s true form was already twice as large as the Golden Crow Sacred Flame. Unless it stood still and let all of them attack together would they have any chance of winning.

When everyone saw him bowing his head in thought with a worried expression on his face, they all knew this fire phoenix would likely be difficult to deal with.

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment but still said to Qiong Qi: "Let’s withdraw first and research countermeasures before returning. These people’s current strength can’t handle that spirit."

Qiong Qi didn’t insist either; retreating first to think of a plan before coming back seemed reasonable.

But at that moment, a phoenix cry came from within the Thousand Burial Mountain. The flame power suddenly intensified as a ball of fire shot into the sky. Then that ball of flames spread out and manifested into a fire phoenix form.

At its chest was an even more crimson phoenix image—that was this fire phoenix’s source power origin point.

"Haha! You want to leave? Too late!" The fire phoenix actually spoke human words while laughing heartily.

Then it sized up these people: "Golden Crow! Vermilion Bird! Qiong Qi! All great nourishment! None of you are leaving—you’re all my supplements!"

"Which one among you just used time power?"

This fire phoenix Spirit was too powerful; clearly it had sensed Ye Liuyun’s earlier use of time power.

"Crap—this fire phoenix is too strong; time power probably won’t work on it!" Ye Liuyun secretly groaned inwardly—he currently had no good methods against such a powerful spirit except trying his best at attrition warfare.

"All ice powers—full-force attack! All fire-attribute cultivators—fully absorb flame energy!"

Without hesitation since they’d already been discovered by it anyway ,might as well strike first —Ye Yun immediately sent mental transmissions throughout everyone present .

"Joining forces is useless too!" Seeing them act together ,the fire phoenix merely sneered mockingly without much concern ,spitting out one fireball smashing toward them .

Those two newly-controlled-by-phoenix-cultivators also immediately joined Ye Yun ’s team attacking against said creature together .

This time surprisingly enough,Qiung Qi didn’t attempt absorbing any flames but instead drew formations through empty air,palming out an array containing icy energies,following other martial artists using cold forces weakening down attacks from said beast .

Afterwards picking up broken stove again absorbing incoming balls thrown by aforementioned entity .

All those possessing fiery attributes released simultaneously blocking said projectile.Ye Yun released golden crow absorbing energies contained therein.Vermillion bird manifested true form directly pouncing forward devouring infernal forces .

This time, they attacked together and actually managed to block the fireball.

Ye Liuyun’s Golden Crow, Vermilion Bird, and Qiong Qi’s furnace all took the opportunity to absorb quite a bit of flame power. The other fire-attribute cultivators did the same, absorbing a large amount of flame energy as well.

But those ice-attribute cultivators probably wouldn’t be able to hold on much longer. Ye Liuyun’s golden pupils could see their true essence—they’d likely only withstand two more attacks at most.

"Hahaha, that was just a casual strike from me. Try blocking another one! Hahaha!"

The phoenix seemed to be toying with them. After speaking, it laughed again, then spat out an even larger fireball and hurled it toward them.

Everyone frowned this time. This fireball was twice as large as the last one.

"Block it with everything you’ve got."

Ye Liuyun gave the order for everyone to give their all in blocking it. At the same time, his golden pupils flashed as a beam of white light shot out toward the Phoenix Flame spirit core.

Then came another bolt of lightning striking at that fire spirit.

He felt that no matter what, they couldn’t just wait for the phoenix to attack them—they needed to fight back and draw its attention.

When that fire spirit was struck by the white light, it let out a mournful cry. Clearly, the white light had some effect in dissolving its fire source. However, it didn’t seem to have dissolved much—the fire spirit didn’t appear diminished at all.

Then came another "crack" of thunderous impact. That lightning strike hit its mark too fast for the fire spirit to dodge, battering it into continuous wailing—clearly both attacks were effective against it.

Qiong Qi meanwhile kept drawing arrays nonstop and slapping them toward the phoenix. The moment that distracted fire spirit faltered from being attacked, an array slammed into it and instantly erupted with Power of Frost sealing away the fire spirit—though it was immediately swallowed up by flame energy moments later.

With a thunderous "boom," Ye Liuyun’s group’s combined force collided with the fireball. Several flame and ice-attribute cultivators were already blasted away vomiting blood—but Qiong Qi’s furnace once again proved tremendously powerful by absorbing most of that fireball’s energy inside itself!

"Ahhh! Damnable humans—all of you die!"

That enraged fire spirit let out a piercing shriek before charging straight at them with its heaven-covering body!

Ye Liuyun noticed that surrounding cultivators and soldiers had nearly exhausted themselves defending against previous attacks—they definitely couldn’t withstand direct impact anymore!

Facing this massive charging phoenix... some powerful experts trembled uncontrollably while exhausted warriors simply closed eyes awaiting death...

Even Qiong Qi fled terrified into his broken furnace! Vermilion Bird wanted escape but legs felt weak knowing flight impossible outside coverage range...

Ye Liuyun waved hand collecting everyone into spatial world—no point letting them die meaninglessly!

His golden pupils continuously fired white beams yet despite constant screeching—that phoenix neither dodged nor evaded continuing charge forward instead!

He tried using temporal power but found phoenix too strong—his soul strength insufficient unable activate temporal abilities at all!
