To him, not only was there no damage, but it made his whole body feel warm and cozy, so comfortable he almost wanted to groan.
Since he didn't need to distract himself with defense, then...
"Take this chance to stack it to the max!"
Liu Yuan no longer hid anything.
Under the cover of the sky-filling firelight and thick smoke, he completely let loose.
Roar—!
A high-pitched dragon roar echoed within his body.
He no longer used dodging movements to disguise himself. Instead, right in front of Ma Xiaotao, amidst that bombardment of meteors, he began the mysterious and wild Dragon Sacrificial Dance!
With every rotation, the dark green light on his body grew a bit stronger!
With every leap, the surrounding air vibrated a bit more!
Another layer of Dragon Dance... successfully stacked!
In mid-air, Ma Xiaotao vaguely saw that figure below still "dancing" through the layers of fire.
Her brow furrowed, and a flash of confusion and anger crossed her eyes.
"Still dancing?"
"Death is at your doorstep, and you're still making such pointless struggles?"
"Under my Phoenix Meteor Shower, what use is it even if you increase your speed to the limit? This is a full-coverage strike; you have nowhere to hide!"
"Perish—now!"
Ma Xiaotao gave a sharp cry, and the spirit power in her body poured out without reservation. The remaining fire meteors smashed toward Liu Yuan with an even more violent posture, completely submerging that figure in a sea of blinding fire and thick smoke.
Rumble—!
The massive explosion resounded through the clouds, and the terrifying shockwave even slammed into the protective shield of Star Luo Plaza, creating layers of ripples.
The entire arena was completely enveloped by black smoke and crimson flames, and nothing inside could be seen clearly anymore.
"Phew..."
Ma Xiaotao slowly descended from the air, panting slightly, a layer of fine sweat seeping from her forehead.
Releasing such a large-scale Sixth Soul Skill was no small drain on her.
However, looking at the mess of the sea of fire before her, a victorious smile rose at the corner of her mouth.
"It's over."
"Taking my full Phoenix Meteor Shower head-on, even if he doesn't die, he'll lose a layer of skin. Shrek wins this match."
Shrek waiting area.
"Good!!!"
Xuan Zi slapped his thigh hard and jumped up from his chair in excitement, almost throwing the wine jug in his hand.
"We won! We finally won!"
"I told you, how could a mere Spirit King possibly stir up any waves!"
Xuan Zi looked smugly at the billowing smoke on the stage, as if he could already see the image of Liu Yuan being carried out burnt to a crisp.
"Xiao Tao's move is incredibly powerful; even a Spirit Emperor would have to kneel! That kid dared to dance in there just now? He was simply seeking death!"
"Hmph, what Dragon Dance, what strengthening—in the face of absolute power, they're all jokes!"
"It seems this final championship will belong to Shrek after all!"
Although Huo Yuhao and the others nearby felt it had gone a bit too smoothly, they couldn't find any reason to argue. After all, that was the Sixth Soul Skill of the Phoenix Evil Fire; who could withstand it with their Physical Body?
However.
Just as the entire audience was waiting for the referee to announce the result, and just as Xuan Zi was ready to celebrate the victory.
A light breeze blew past.
The thick smoke on the arena began to slowly dissipate.
The first thing to be revealed was the ground.
The originally hard granite ground had now completely turned into lava, emitting a suffocating heat wave.
Next, a figure wrapped in dark green light gradually became clear within the smoke.
He wasn't lying on the ground as people had imagined.
Nor was he burnt black as people had imagined.
That figure just stood there quietly in the lava, his posture as upright as a pine tree, surrounded by six flickering dark green Dragon Phantoms, emitting a terrifying pressure that made one's heart tremble!
"That's..."
The originally noisy audience area suddenly went silent.
Everyone's eyes widened, like ducks being choked by the neck, unable to make a sound.
Even Xuan Zi, who was about to take a sip of wine to celebrate, froze mid-action. His eyes bulged, as if he were looking at some inconceivable monster.
"This... how is this possible?!"
The smoke completely cleared.
Liu Yuan was still standing in his original spot.
Not even a corner of his clothes was damaged, and not a speck of dust had touched him!
On his originally dark green skin, a crystal-clear luster now flowed. The two golden Tassel Light Bands on his back had grown several times larger, dancing wildly in the air and emitting a suffocating divine radiance!
Dragon Dance—Max Stacks!
At this moment, Liu Yuan's aura was so powerful that it wasn't the least bit weaker than the Spirit Saint Ma Xiaotao opposite him. In some ways, it was even more terrifying!
"Not... not injured?"
The wine jug in Xuan Zi's hand fell to the ground with a "clatter," shattering into pieces. Wine splashed everywhere, but he was completely oblivious.
His mouth was wide open, his beard was soaked with wine, and he was completely stunned.
"He took Xiao Tao's Sixth Soul Skill head-on and is... unharmed?!"
"Is this kid made of iron? No! Even if he were made of iron, he would have been melted!"
At this moment, Xuan Zi's worldview suffered an unprecedented shock. The experience and judgment he took pride in shattered into pieces.
On the arena.
The smile on Ma Xiaotao's face also instantly froze.
She stared fixedly at the unharmed youth before her, whose aura had instead surged several times over. Her pupils contracted violently—a sign of extreme shock.
"You..."
"How is it possible?!"
"My Phoenix Meteor Shower... how could you be perfectly fine?!"
Ma Xiaotao could not accept this fact.
Refusing to believe it, she raised her hand again, a ball of even more concentrated deep red Evil Fire condensing in her palm.
"I don't believe it! Burn!"
Boom!
That ball of Evil Fire transformed into a roaring dragon head, carrying Ma Xiaotao's anger and confusion as it shot straight toward Liu Yuan's chest.
This time, Liu Yuan didn't dodge.
Nor did he make any defensive moves.
He didn't even blink, allowing that ball of Evil Fire, which was enough to melt steel, to slam hard against his chest.
"Puff—"
A soft sound.
Like a small flame falling into the ocean, the moment that terrifying ball of Evil Fire touched Liu Yuan's body, it strangely... disappeared!
No, it didn't disappear.
It was absorbed!
The dark green light on Liu Yuan's body flickered slightly, becoming even more dazzling, as if he had just consumed a tonic.
Watching this scene, the entire place went dead silent.
Ma Xiaotao's hand froze mid-air, and she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
She finally understood why Liu Yuan dared to dance in the sea of fire.
She finally understood why Liu Yuan had always seemed to be in a difficult position but had never truly been injured.
Looking at Liu Yuan's indifferent golden vertical pupils, the thought she had been afraid to believe finally turned into a trembling sentence that she forced out of her mouth:
"Could it be..."
"You are... fire-immune?!"
