Ye Chenfeng arrived and rescued Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong from the formation. He revealed his Initial Divine King Realm cultivation, surprising everyone, especially the three City Lords. Cheng Gaorong, one of the City Lords, attacked Ye Chenfeng with his powerful Evil Yuan Ghost Palm, but Ye Chenfeng easily withstood the blow.

Ye Chenfeng's chillingly detached voice carried through the air.

A subtle shift flickered across the faces of everyone present.

The immense, formidable palm print of dark energy that had dominated the sky vanished, and Ye Chenfeng's form reappeared before their very eyes.

Having absorbed Cheng Gaorong's Fiendish Ghost Palm, Ye Chenfeng stood utterly unscathed; not a single thread of his clothing was disturbed. Though within the ethereal confines of the mysterious space, Cheng Gaorong and his companions found their spiritual energy somewhat disrupted, diminishing their power compared to the Mid Divine King Realm experts outside. Nevertheless, the Fiendish Ghost Palm remained a potent Five-Star Secret Method!

Cheng Gaorong's scornful grimace faltered, replaced by disbelief as he fixed his gaze upon the unharmed Ye Chenfeng suspended in the air.

The key to Ye Chenfeng's ability to withstand the Fiendish Ghost Palm lay in his exceptional discernment and perception.

Mere moments before the Fiendish Ghost Palm made contact, a minute adjustment of his body allowed him to exploit the palm's most vulnerable point. Coupled with his inherent defensive capabilities and physical might, he successfully negated the attack without sustaining any damage.

While weathering the Fiendish Ghost Palm, Ye Chenfeng had already shifted his right palm.

Now, his palm radiated an awe-inspiring, colossal force that warped the surrounding space, sending powerful gusts of wind careening in every direction.

Amidst the collective astonishment, Ye Chenfeng propelled his right palm directly towards Cheng Gaorong.

"Dragon God Overturning Seal, the second seal brings forth the earth's upheaval!"

This second maneuver of the Dragon God Overturning Seal was also a legitimate Five-Star Secret Method.

With this strike, Ye Chenfeng unleashed his attack.

Sudden, booming sounds erupted in the atmosphere, and the ground beneath was instantly laced with intricate, dense fissures.

These cracks extended outwards like the veins of a spider's web.

The earth convulsed with intense tremors.

Accompanied by a deafening "boom!"

A colossal, azure Energy Palm Seal materialized instantaneously, hurtling towards Cheng Gaorong.

The immense azure Energy Palm Seal moved with incredible velocity, affording Cheng Gaorong no opportunity to evade as the terrifying magnitude of its power became apparent, his eyes wide with terror. His only recourse was to hastily erect a shield of spiritual energy around himself.

Despite both combatants employing Five-Star Secret Methods,

Ye Chenfeng's second seal demonstrated a power exponentially greater than the Fiendish Ghost Palm, causing City Lord Tan Muya and Second City Lord Chu Guangtian to blanch.

With a sharp "pfft!"

As the colossal azure Energy Palm Seal descended upon Cheng Gaorong.

Cheng Gaorong's spiritual energy barrier disintegrated on the spot, and the entirety of the immense azure Energy Palm Seal impacted him directly, driving him forcefully downwards toward the ground.

Another resounding "boom!" echoed.

Cheng Gaorong was violently slammed into the earth.

The ground was instantly shrouded in a cloud of dust, and as the dust gradually settled,

a monumental palm-shaped depression was revealed in the earth, with Cheng Gaorong positioned at its epicenter.

At this juncture, Cheng Gaorong bore no trace of the former dignity befitting a Third City Lord. His attire was in tatters, and his skin was marred by countless minute fractures. Numerous bones within him lay shattered, leaving him drenched in blood, his breathing shallow and erratic; his Dantian had also been obliterated by the force of this palm strike.

Cheng Gaorong was effectively rendered a cripple, his life expectancy reduced to a mere day before succumbing to his devastating injuries.

Ye Chenfeng, who had been airborne, materialized before Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong subsequent to executing his palm strike.

This brother and sister pair stared at the wretched figure of Cheng Gaorong within the crater, their shock rendering them speechless.

To the inhabitants of their refuse settlement, the Third City Lord Cheng Gaorong was regarded almost as a divine entity, not to mention his formidable strength within the Mid Divine King Realm, which was undeniable.

Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong had never envisioned such a catastrophic outcome!

Not only had Ye Chenfeng completely nullified Cheng Gaorong's Fiendish Ghost Palm without sustaining any harm, but he had also directly incapacitated Cheng Gaorong with a single, decisive palm strike?

Cheng Gaorong was utterly powerless to resist Ye Chenfeng's might.

A profound silence descended upon the surroundings.

The cultivators at the Heavenly God Realm involuntarily took a step back, seeking to distance themselves from any potential collateral damage.

City Lord Tan Muya and Second City Lord Chu Guangtian remained reticent, their gazes meeting in silent communication.

Ye Chenfeng had subdued Cheng Gaorong in a single maneuver. Although their own cultivation surpassed Cheng Gaorong's, they were unable to ascertain Ye Chenfeng's true power based on this brief confrontation.

Typically, Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian, positioned at the Peak of the Divine King Realm and Late Divine King Realm respectively, would not harbor apprehension towards Ye Chenfeng. It is exceedingly uncommon to defeat an opponent of a higher cultivation tier within the Divine King Realm.

However, Ye Chenfeng had overcome an opponent ranked slightly higher, dispatching Cheng Gaorong with a solitary strike, leaving Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian perplexed and deeply unsettled by Ye Chenfeng's enigmatic capabilities.

Beyond their own capabilities, Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian achieved the positions of City Lords within the mysterious space of Floating Cloud City through meticulous planning. Their primary concern was preventing Ye Chenfeng from outmaneuvering them.

With Cheng Gaorong now indisposed, Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian found themselves unable to depart the mysterious space promptly, and they still faced perilous dangers within. The absence of a Divine King Realm City Lord presented a considerable threat to the security of Floating Cloud City.

After a period of contemplation, Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian conveyed messages to each other, concluding that appointing Ye Chenfeng as the Third City Lord was the most judicious course of action. Although they harbored a desire to eliminate Ye Chenfeng immediately, the opportune moment had not yet arrived. They believed they could still leverage Ye Chenfeng, having unearthed fragments of information concerning the mysterious space over the years. However, the locations associated with these clues were fraught with extreme peril, making it more advantageous to have Ye Chenfeng explore them first.

Having reached a consensus, Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian turned their attention to Ye Chenfeng, their expressions carefully crafted to appear amicable. Tan Muya then spoke, "Esteemed young brother, it seems there has been a misunderstanding. We were unaware these siblings were your companions. We surmise you haven't been within this mysterious space for an extended duration? We believe you would be most suitable to assume the role of the Third City Lord of Floating Cloud City, assisting us in its governance. What are your thoughts on this matter, young brother?"

Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian harbored the conviction that Ye Chenfeng would not dare to refuse their offer, given their own positions at the Peak and Late Divine King Realm. They questioned if Ye Chenfeng would risk confronting them directly.

After all, Ye Chenfeng was merely at the Initial Stage of the Divine King Realm!
