The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2258 - 2247: The Third Seal! Top-Tier Secret Technique!
Previously on The Strongest Dandy in the City...
The sun dipped below the horizon, only to rise once more.
As the following morning dawned, a fresh layer of azure energy shield enveloped the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin anew.
The previous day, while Ye Chenfeng readied fresh defenses for the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin, four formidable Divine King Realm powerhouses graced the city with their presence. Two reached the Initial Stage, while the other two had advanced to the Middle Stage. These four Loose Cultivators had been summoned by the Alchemy Pavilion, the Artifact Refinement Pavilion, the Talisman Master Pavilion, and the Array Magic Pavilion.
Since Zhao Xingtu, Yuan Kun, Tan Yuanwu, and Yu Shiqing of the four pavilions had aided numerous mighty cultivators before, and some proved fiercely loyal, these four Divine King Realm Loose Cultivators arrived late yet right on time.
Ye Chenfeng had originally needed days to reset the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin's defenses. But the timely advent of these four Divine King Realm Loose Cultivators spared him much effort, all to shield the city's residents.
Li Yuanmu and his allies breached the Heavenly Azure Shield's barrier chiefly because the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin lacked sufficient Divine King Realm experts. More of them would have poured extra power into the Heavenly Azure Shield, rendering the azure energy shield around the city utterly unbreakable.
Moreover, yesterday's massive upheaval in Central State's western region means Xiao Yao Palace and rival sects will likely ignore the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin for the moment. Should attackers come, few Divine King Realm masters would join them, so reigniting the Immortal Artifact Heavenly Azure Shield ought to hold firm. Several Divine King Realm powerhouses now guard the city, bolstered by the Ancient Demon Vine under Yun Rong’s temporary control.
This journey saw companions join Ye Chenfeng bound for Central State's western reaches.
Bai Xiaorou refused to leave Ye Chenfeng's side, while Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan simply had to tag along. Alongside these three beauties, Elder Zhao Jinpeng of the Nine Nether Ice Lion and Elder Tan Yuanwu from the Artifact Refinement Pavilion accompanied Ye Chenfeng.
The westward party's size needed to stay small; Xiao Yao Palace and other sects were bound to swarm the chaos too. A bigger entourage risked drawing hostile eyes.
In Central State, Xiao Yao Palace and its peers commanded vast might. Rallying every soul from the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin still might not defy their united front. Li Yuanmu and fellow elders withdrew after misjudging Ye Chenfeng, suffering grievous losses as a result.
Ye Chenfeng aimed to slip west with little notice. Late Divine King Realm powerhouse Zhao Jinpeng demanded to trail him for protection. Tan Yuanwu came aboard since Bai Xiaorou, Wu Lingxiang, Jiang Caixuan, and Zhao Jinpeng knew little of Central State's major forces. With his Heavenly God Realm Peak prowess as Artifact Refinement Pavilion elder, Tan Yuanwu offered insights into the landscape, aware that even Ye Chenfeng grasped only fragments of those powers.
Ye Chenfeng ordered Divine King Realm figures like Zhao Shenghong to stay behind, securing the Ancient City's short-term safety. Too many followers spelled trouble, particularly with sects like Xiao Yao Palace spreading venomous tales that bred deep grudges.
Having hit Heavenly God Realm Initial Stage, Ye Chenfeng's Divine Blood grew denser still, letting him unleash the Immortal Golden Body twenty times in a row. Higher realms would sharply curb that repetition rate.
Right now, Ye Chenfeng's fleshly might matched Late Divine King Realm titans—a staggering achievement.
Last night, Ye Chenfeng held off probing his small world's shifts; a quick scan revealed vast spatial growth and richer Spiritual Energy, but nothing else major. He passed the hours instead sharing tender memories with Yun Rong and the rest.
Dawn finally pierced the sky.
Ye Chenfeng, Bai Xiaorou, Wu Lingxiang, Jiang Caixuan, Zhao Jinpeng, and Tan Yuanwu departed the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin, soaring westward across the heavens.
Far off in the western skies, enormous beast-like maws kept ripping open.
Twisting black energy pillars plunged into the sky's enormous fissures.
Lacking exact coordinates, Ye Chenfeng's crew skipped the Teleportation Array, opting to fly instead.
Three days flew by in an instant.
Ye Chenfeng, Bai Xiaorou, and their companions had journeyed relentlessly for three days and nights, now pausing for a brief respite in a thick forest.
In the vicinity, not a single cultivator's aura lingered, and Zhao Jinpeng together with Tan Yuanwu had swept away all the demonic beasts.
As they perceived it, the site of the shocking occurrence to the west grew closer, probably just two days away.
Bai Xiaorou, Wu Lingxiang, and Jiang Caixuan settled down to recover their strength, whereas Ye Chenfeng positioned himself apart on the opposite side.
His eyes shut firmly; since advancing to the Heavenly God Realm, the vision of the Dragon God Overturning Seal's third and ultimate seal had surfaced in his thoughts.
Owing to previous events, Ye Chenfeng had set aside any plans to train the third seal for the time being.
At present, the technique for the third seal echoed endlessly in his mind, nearly mastered completely by Ye Chenfeng.
The Dragon God Overturning Seal.
One Seal Overturns the Sea.
Two Seals Shake the Earth.
Three Seals Break the Sky.
While the initial two seals build force through palm rotation, the third seal stands in stark contrast.
Suddenly, Ye Chenfeng lifted his right arm skyward, palm upward.
Spiritual Energy inside him erupted; the earth beneath cracked open, sending dust flying everywhere.
A colossal energy surge gathered at Ye Chenfeng’s upward palm.
From that palm erupted a huge energy vortex racing heavenward, warping the overhead sky and gradually tearing it apart.
Tremendous pressure radiated from the surrounding environment.
This made Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan furrow their brows, their lovely eyes flashing with curiosity, as Zhao Jinpeng and Tan Yuanwu observed closely; the might was overwhelming. Not even a Five-Star Secret Method could match it, especially since such techniques are virtually extinct in Central State.
Zhao Jinpeng’s gaze lit up; memories from Lion King Lineage scrolls described the Dragon God Overturning Seal, with depictions matching the Three Seals Break the Sky.
Zhao Jinpeng drew in sharp breaths repeatedly, whispering, "This must be the fabled Dragon God Overturning Seal! Legends claim the Three Seals Break the Sky ranks as a supreme Secret Technique beyond Five-Star Secret Methods, just as the ancient texts describe."
"The Clan Leader mastered the third seal at such a tender age, his talent unmatched, probably eclipsing even the old clan elders."
Zhao Jinpeng spoke under his breath, too soft for others to catch, since Wu Lingxiang and Tan Yuanwu remained unaware of Ye Chenfeng’s role as Dragon Clan leader.
The Two Seals Shake the Earth had already hit Five-Star Secret Method level, so Ye Chenfeng anticipated the Three Seals Break the Sky reaching elite Secret Technique heights.
Yet with arm extended and palm to the heavens, Ye Chenfeng sensed his hand slipping from his grasp; the explosive force proved too much, making his arm shake wildly.
At last, a resounding "boom,"
The vast energy in his palm scattered skyward, shattering it like drifting ice floes.
To unleash the Three Seals Break the Sky perfectly, Ye Chenfeng understood he must hone this technique further, for even he struggled to harness the colossal power of a supreme Secret Technique.
