The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2246 - 2235: How Dare You Seek Immortality Equal to Heaven?
Previously on The Strongest Dandy in the City...
Deep inside the rundown ancestral grounds of the Dragon Clan.
Through the link from his heart, Ye Chenfeng scanned the whole ancestral land. From time to time, Chaotic Death Qi seeped into his body, accumulating at his heart before the seven-colored radiance it released vaporized it completely.
The Dragon Clan's ancestral land spanned an immense area.
However, this expansive territory lay desolate, devoid of any grass, living beings, or vegetation whatsoever.
After hours of exploration, Ye Chenfeng halted abruptly, for the seven-colored glow pulsing at his heart shone brightest here. The Chaotic Death Qi churning around his heart reached its peak density too. Any side step caused it to weaken instantly, confirming this spot as the origin of the Chaotic Death Qi.
Gazing at the debris-strewn ground beneath his feet, Ye Chenfeng deduced the Chaotic Death Qi's source hid underground.
Acting on this realization, the Spiritual Qi River surged through Ye Chenfeng’s meridians as he began excavating downward. As a mighty Heavenly God Realm cultivator, his digging pace proved astonishingly swift, plunging ever deeper into the earth.
One meter.
Ten meters.
Twenty meters.
Thirty meters.
At fifty meters deep, Ye Chenfeng sensed proximity to the Chaotic Death Qi source, his heart nearly drowned in it. The frantic seven-colored light on his heart kept vaporizing the encroaching Chaotic Death Qi.
Did a Chaotic Death Qi Spring truly exist here? Was a nearby Chaotic Vitality Spring balancing it?
Ye Chenfeng pressed on, digging further.
Abruptly, no more dirt remained; a compact chamber opened below.
Ye Chenfeng expanded the hole a bit, employing Spiritual Energy to secure the dug-out soil and stop it from collapsing into the chamber and filling it up.
Once finished, Ye Chenfeng jumped straight into the chamber. Inside, the Chaotic Death Qi in him failed to flare up, sparking delight—this indicated a Chaotic Vitality Spring nearby, countering part of the Chaotic Death Qi within him.
Ye Chenfeng surveyed the area, his eyes drawn first to a pool-like depression in the right corner. A huge gray mist swirled inside, constantly emitting an aura that dissolved into the air, rendering it undetectable.
This had to be the Chaotic Death Qi Spring. Ye Chenfeng’s eyes darted around, spotting a smaller depression left of the Death Qi Spring, where white mist rotated. Strands of aura occasionally leaked from the white mist into the air, vanishing swiftly—this must be the Vitality Spring.
Yet, the Chaotic Vitality aura didn't travel far, dissipating before surfacing.
Confirming the Chaotic Death Qi Spring paired with a Chaotic Vitality Spring, Ye Chenfeng let out a relieved breath. Locating another Chaotic Vitality Spring elsewhere would prove incredibly tough.
Ye Chenfeng inquired mentally, "Old Bai, Old Hei, how do I extract the Chaotic Vitality?"
Old Bai, Wu Fengxian, replied, "Legends state that Chaotic Vitality burned by Heaven and Earth Flame crystallizes into portable form, lasting one or two years typically. To deploy it, infuse Spiritual Energy into the crystal, melting it back to Chaotic Vitality."
Grasping the extraction method, Ye Chenfeng turned his right palm, summoning Green Flame from it. He neared the Chaotic Vitality Spring, snapped his fingers to envelop it in Green Flame, drawing all the white aura into the blaze.
The Green Flame blazed steadily, birthing white crystals amid the inferno.
Ye Chenfeng craved maximum Chaotic Vitality. With scant Dragon Clan bloodline survivors left, a thousand Chaotic Vitality crystals ought to cover their needs.
The Chaotic Vitality Spring couldn't relocate; uprooting it caused instant dissipation.
Forming a thousand Chaotic Vitality crystals demanded patience. Ye Chenfeng meticulously regulated Green Flame's heat. After two days of relentless burning, he harvested exactly a thousand crystals.
Storing the thousand crystals safely, Ye Chenfeng withdrew Green Flame to his Dantian. Armed with them, departure beckoned, his concerns lingering over the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin's plight.
Right before he could depart, Ye Chenfeng narrowed his eyes sharply. His attention locked onto a stone wall at the left of the chamber. Throughout the two days of crystallizing, he had meticulously regulated Green Flame’s heat to avoid over-scorching that might vaporize the Chaotic Vitality, thus overlooking a detailed scan of his environment.
Just as he readied himself to exit, faint etchings on the left stone wall abruptly caught his notice, igniting his interest, and he drew closer.
Dust shrouded the stone wall, concealing the inscriptions that were barely visible without intense scrutiny.
With an arm sweep, Ye Chenfeng brushed the dust clean from the stone wall.
Once the dust vanished, a tremendous force exploded from the stone wall’s carvings, slamming into Ye Chenfeng’s body without warning.
"Bang!"
"Pftch!"
A dull thud resonated from Ye Chenfeng’s chest while a gush of blood burst from his mouth.
Ye Chenfeng’s body flashed sideways in a blink. As his eyes fixed on the stone wall’s characters, six grand words in majestic strokes emerged: "Dare you vie with the heavens for longevity?"
These words conveyed an unmistakable intent—a bold defiance against the heavens for eternal life!
It was undoubtedly a provocative query.
Yet, who had carved these words in this place?
Furthermore, the aura and might pouring from the stone wall’s characters were terrifyingly immense. Even as a formidable Heavenly God Realm cultivator, Ye Chenfeng stood completely helpless against them.
