While Ye Chenfeng was dealing with the Flame Demon Fish patriarch, Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong were left waiting in a formation. The formation was unexpectedly broken, and the siblings disappeared without a trace. Ye Chenfeng quickly pursued them, suspecting they were taken by cultivators from Floating Cloud City. Meanwhile, the Third City Lord Cheng Gaorong, fleeing from Flame Demon Fish, discovered the siblings. Seeing a flame pattern on their hands, he realized they might have awakened the Spiritual Fire God Body and took them aboard his Spirit Boat.

For anyone who awakens the Spirit Fire Divine Body, a uniquely potent power resides within their blood and flesh.

By refining a person with this sacred constitution into blood through a specialized technique, and then consuming it, a cultivator can significantly enhance their physical form.

With a stroke of fortune, those who partake in this refined blood might even awaken the Spirit Fire Divine Body themselves.

Beyond mere consumption, the Spirit Fire Divine Body bestows superior cultivation speed in all aspects compared to ordinary physiques. Most crucially, it grants exceptional fire manipulation abilities, making it highly coveted by alchemists and artifact refiners hoping to awaken it.

The mastery of fire is undeniably paramount for both alchemists and artifact refiners.

This explains Cheng Gaorong's motive for bringing Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong along. The complex refinement process for the Spirit Fire Divine Body was beyond his solitary capability; he required the combined power of Floating Cloud City's other two City Lords, otherwise, he would never agree to share the bounty.

Despite the substantial losses incurred during their expedition to the Flame Demon Fish's domain, Cheng Gaorong considered Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong his most significant acquisitions, completely erasing his prior discontent.

An impatient Cheng Gaorong, eager to return to Floating Cloud City, pushed the Spirit Boat's speed to its absolute limit.

Meanwhile, on another front.

Ye Chenfeng, in relentless pursuit, maintained a respectable pace but faced a considerable speed deficit against Cheng Gaorong. The prospect of catching up to the Spirit Boat in a short span seemed remote.

Still, Ye Chenfeng harbored concerns for Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong; the siblings had left a favorable impression on him.

As he employed the Four-Star Secret Method, Thousand Thunder Flash, to accelerate his movement, the Green Flame within his Dantian suddenly stirred with unusual agitation.

A sharp, tearing pain suddenly seized Ye Chenfeng's Dantian.

Sensing the turmoil within, he witnessed the Tri-Color Flame of the Green Flame rampaging uncontrollably, spreading throughout his Dantian as if intent on engulfing it in flames.

Ye Chenfeng attempted immediate communication with the Green Flame, but it remained unresponsive, its fiery spread within his Dantian unabated.

Old Bai Wu Fengxian's voice resonated, "Little fellow, it appears the Green Flame's temperature has surged too rapidly this time. Having transitioned to the Tri-Color Flame stage, there seems to be an internal conflict among its three colors. Try focusing your Spiritual Energy into your Dantian and exerting your power to fully integrate these three chromatic flames."

Ye Chenfeng had not anticipated such a sudden transformation in the Green Flame; the event was remarkably abrupt, and he had observed no prior signs of anomaly.

Left with no alternative, Ye Chenfeng halted his pursuit. To ignore the Green Flame's condition within his Dantian posed a grave risk of severe injury to it.

By channeling his Spiritual Energy to ceaselessly merge the Tri-Color Green Flame, Ye Chenfeng's gradual efforts paid off. The three colors eventually stabilized, and under his careful direction, the Tri-Color Green Flame found complete equilibrium.

Assessing the Green Flame's settled state, Ye Chenfeng finally exhaled in relief. It became evident that nurturing the Green Flame towards a Seven-Colored Flame would be no simple feat, considering the volatile repulsion just between its Tri-Color manifestation.

Once the Green Flame subsided.

Ye Chenfeng resumed his journey toward Floating Cloud City, traversing the air as he moved.

More than two days evaporated in the blink of an eye.

Following over two days of travel, Ye Chenfeng's silhouette materialized outside the protective barrier of Floating Cloud City.

Coincidentally, as Ye Chenfeng approached the city's barrier, two figures emerged from within, standing upon a modest, weathered Spirit Boat.

Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be familiar faces to Ye Chenfeng.

Could it be Zhao Wenchao and Wang Xinghuo! These were the very first cultivators Ye Chenfeng encountered within the mysterious realm.

Initially, their intent was to capture Ye Chenfeng and deliver him to Floating Cloud City for Contribution Points.

Ultimately, they failed to secure the desired Contribution Points and even squandered a High-Grade Spirit Stone, directing all their fury towards Ye Chenfeng. During the act of discarding Ye Chenfeng into the garbage heap, Wang Xinghuo had delivered a blow to his chest. Had it not been for the Star Sky Stone serving as his heart, it would have been shattered by Wang Xinghuo's strike.

Zhao Wenchao and Wang Xinghuo had long since forgotten about Ye Chenfeng. In their eyes, he should have met his demise by now.

As Wang Xinghuo and Zhao Wenchao stepped out from the barrier, their gaze fell upon Ye Chenfeng. His aura, since advancing to the Divine King Realm, was naturally concealed. Only another Divine King Realm cultivator could perceive the power within him; to others, it remained hidden until unleashed.

Wang Xinghuo and Zhao Wenchao, possessing only Earth God Realm strength, were taken aback. Coming to his senses, Wang Xinghuo scoffed, "You're still alive? And all those fractured bones and damaged meridians have mended?"

His tone dripped with mockery. "Boy, what's this? You've come for retribution? I already measured your bone age. You, a mere thirty-year-old, can't even reach the Nirvana Realm. Come on! Show me your strength? Don't claim I didn't offer you an opportunity."

Zhao Wenchao observed the exchange with a calm demeanor, clearly still underestimating Ye Chenfeng.

On a different day, Ye Chenfeng might have indulged their taunts, but now, his patience had worn thin. He felt the Spiritual Qi River surging within his meridians, and his suppressed aura erupted from his body in an instant.

Wang Xinghuo perceived only a blur.

With a resounding 'Bang!'

His chest was impaled by Ye Chenfeng, leaving him no chance to utter a final word before succumbing to death.

Ye Chenfeng stated coldly, "I took a blow from you then; now I return it. It's only fair."

His gaze shifted to the petrified Zhao Wenchao. "Consider yourself fortunate. Today, I haven't the time to trifle with you, so I shall dispatch you swiftly!"

Zhao Wenchao was utterly frozen, never expecting a mere thirty-year-old like Ye Chenfeng to be a Divine King Realm expert. Wasn't this utterly preposterous?

What incredible fortune this was!

Zhao Wenchao wished to fall to his knees and beg for mercy immediately, but Ye Chenfeng granted him no such grace.

With a simple wave of his arm.

A sharp force swept across Zhao Wenchao’s neck, affording him no time to react as his head was cleanly severed.

An expert at the Earth God Realm was nothing more than a paper tiger before Ye Chenfeng now!

Eliminating them proved utterly effortless.
