The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2319 - 2308: Tri-Color Flame! Ascension Once Again!
Previously on The Strongest Dandy in the City...
With the discovery of the Flame Demon Fish Ancestor's inner core, the Green Flame within Ye Chenfeng's dantian stirred with renewed Voracity, drawn by the core's immense power.
The weakened Flame Demon Fish Ancestor could no longer shield its precious inner core.
Ye Chenfeng, regaining his composure, found his cultivation had returned to the Initial Stage of the Divine King Realm. Taking a deep breath, slightly uneven, he settled beside the Flame Demon Fish Ancestor's inner core.
As he sat, the voice of Elder Wu Fengxian resonated, "Young one, your encounter with the Heaven and Earth Flame, Green Flame, has been most fortunate. After assimilating numerous Flame Demon Fish corpses and absorbing the fiery essence from the purplish-red liquid, its power has advanced to the Peak of the Seventh Layer of the Heavenly God Realm."
"For a Heaven and Earth Flame, ascending to the Divine King Realm presents a greater challenge than for cultivators. However, if the Green Flame can absorb this Flame Demon Fish Ancestor's inner core, it possesses a chance to reach the Divine King Realm, especially since the Ancestor was on the cusp of the Divine Venerable Realm."
It was clear why the Green Flame felt such an urge towards the Flame Demon Fish Ancestor's inner core. Being drawn into this mystical dimension proved to be an unparalleled boon for the Green Flame.
Now that Ye Chenfeng had reached the Initial Stage of the Divine King Realm, the effectiveness of 'Oceanic Embrace' had significantly waned. While immensely useful before his breakthrough, its utility diminished considerably upon entering the Divine King Realm, a point previously discussed by both Elder Wu and Elder Jiang.
However, Ye Chenfeng had not yet attempted to utilize Oceanic Embrace since breaking through to the Initial Stage of the Divine King Realm. He had even overlooked using it during his confrontation with Bao Xiangtian.
Dismissing thoughts of Oceanic Embrace, Ye Chenfeng turned his focus back to the Flame Demon Fish Ancestor's inner core.
After a brief, intense struggle.
The Flame Demon Fish Ancestor finally succumbed completely. With a mere flick of Ye Chenfeng's hand, the Green Flame erupted from his right palm, now a brilliant, vibrant green.
Ye Chenfeng moved his fingers.
The Green Flame darted towards the Flame Demon Fish Ancestor's inner core, swiftly engulfing the fist-sized gem in its entirety.
This was, after all, an inner core from the Peak of the Divine King Realm, mere steps from the Divine Venerable Realm. The Green Flame, at the Peak of the Seventh Layer of the Heavenly God Realm, would require a substantial period to consume and integrate its essence.
A significant chasm existed between the Heavenly God Realm and the Divine King Realm.
Gradually, the Green Flame began to absorb the Flame Demon Fish Ancestor's inner core. As the absorption continued, the vibrant green flame pulsed erratically, its internal temperature inching upwards, steadily climbing.
Yet, the temperature remained far from the threshold required to break through to the Initial Stage of the Divine King Realm! Still, the Green Flame had barely tapped into the core's reserves.
As the Green Flame's temperature rose consistently, the Flame Demon Fish's internal sinews began to dissolve at an accelerated rate. Due to the Green Flame's careful regulation, Ye Chenfeng remained unaffected by the surging heat.
Time flowed onward, minute by minute.
The Green Flame ceaselessly consumed the potent energy emanating from the Flame Demon Fish Ancestor's inner core.
Until, at a pivotal moment, the Green Flame's vivid verdant light quivered with unprecedented intensity, its temperature surging towards a critical juncture, appearing but a single step away from breaching the Divine King Realm.
Concurrently.
The Flame Demon Fish Ancestor's inner core was nearing depletion; only a sliver of its energy remained to be fully assimilated. The instant the Green Flame finished drawing out the final vestiges of power from the ancestor's core,
With an explosive sound, "boom!"
The Flame Demon Fish Ancestor's inner core disintegrated into dust.
The vibrant green luminescence of the Green Flame erupted outwards from within the fish's carcass, pulverizing the colossal remains of the Flame Demon Fish Ancestor into fragments.
Ye Chenfeng emerged unscathed, having naturally disengaged from the massive corpse after a prolonged period of meditative absorption. The chaotic aftermath of the explosion dissipated around him.
Ye Chenfeng's gaze fixed on the sudden, violent flare of the Green Flame, a flicker of concern crossing his mind about its well-being. As the Flame Demon Fish Ancestor's body was rent asunder, a cloud of blood mist instantly saturated the air.
As the crimson mist gradually diffused through the atmosphere,
Ye Chenfeng's obstructed vision cleared, allowing him to finally observe his surroundings clearly. Where was Green Flame located nearby?
Green Flame had also fragmented, breaking into numerous small flames that now filled the air.
These scattered flames weren't solely emerald green; they also displayed hues of red and purple.
As Ye Chenfeng's brow furrowed,
the small flames dispersed in the atmosphere swiftly converged, ultimately merging into a single entity to form a Tri-Color Flame.
This tri-colored flame, shimmering with green, red, and purple, emanated an intense heat, sufficient to incinerate at least an Initial Stage Divine King Realm powerhouse.
Upon witnessing this newly formed Tri-Color Flame, Ye Chenfeng gestured, and it obediently returned to his palm. It appeared to be the same Green Flame, but the question lingered: why had it acquired two additional colors?
While Ye Chenfeng was lost in thought,
Elder Jiang Yuntian commented, "A Tri-Color Flame? Green Flame has evolved into a Tri-Color Flame? This is indeed a rare occurrence! Green Flame has truly struck gold this time."
"Youngster, do you grasp the ranking of Heaven and Earth Flames? Generally, these flames possess only a single color. We hadn't introduced you to the true ranking because we didn't anticipate Green Flame achieving a color transformation so rapidly."
"From ancient times to the present, the Seven-Colored Flame stands as the most formidable. Typically, when Heaven and Earth Flames of similar temperatures clash..."
"Should one Heaven and Earth Flame be monochromatic while another boasts two distinct colors, the dual-colored flame can effortlessly overpower and consume the single-colored one."
"Augmenting the number of colors within a Heaven and Earth Flame is extraordinarily challenging. Even Elder Wu and I are uncertain of the cultivation method. In our time, specialists who nurtured Heaven and Earth Flames found that even the swiftest among them required a thousand years to gain an additional color."
"Elder Wu and I have personally witnessed Heaven and Earth Flames reaching a maximum of five colors."
"Yet, unexpectedly, Green Flame has suddenly revealed two additional colors? Combined with its original hue, it now possesses three. This Tri-Color Flame is already considered exceptionally rare and precious. Given Green Flame's newfound color transformation, I suspect it will not remain merely a Tri-Color Flame in the future."
"Everything associated with you, youngster, invariably becomes extraordinary."
