The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2327 - 2316: The Way to Leave

The advancing steps of Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian faltered, stopping abruptly. They found themselves staring in disbelief at the scene unfolding before them. The other powerhouses present, all within the Heavenly God Realm, held their breath, daring not to make a sound. Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong, who had been enveloped in sorrow, simultaneously widened their eyes in sheer astonishment. Amidst the debris of the collapsed black mountain, Ye Chenfeng stood, his attire in tatters and his body drenched in blood. He raised his right arm towards the heavens, his palm open to the sky. It was clear that the radiant crimson Energy Palm Seal that had just struck was a creation of Ye Chenfeng himself.

A chilling dread began to creep into the hearts of Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian. This time, their fear was genuine and profound. They had been unable to withstand 'One Mountain Suppresses All Things' even when fighting together, yet Ye Chenfeng had not only shattered it but also destroyed the protective barrier around Floating Cloud City. The sheer force of that single palm strike was unfathomable. This power certainly surpassed the destructive capability of any Five-Star Secret Method they knew. If it wasn't a Five-Star Secret Method, could it be a legendary, top-tier Secret Technique? Only such an advanced technique could unleash such devastating might.

The ultimate trump cards held by Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian paled in comparison to Ye Chenfeng's most recent display. It was undeniable that Ye Chenfeng's move had utterly intimidated them. The might contained within the third seal of the Dragon God Overturning Seal was formidable indeed.

Having successfully ascended to the Divine King Realm, executing the third seal became significantly more fluid for Ye Chenfeng, and he had, in fact, managed to accomplish it. However, the immense spiritual energy expenditure required left him greatly drained. With his right arm still held aloft, Ye Chenfeng had no intention of lowering it. The spiritual energy within him was rapidly diminishing. He knew he had to quickly subdue Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian; if his spiritual energy were to run out, he would find himself in a precarious position.

Seizing the opportune moment, Ye Chenfeng was determined to deplete the remaining spiritual energy in his body to perform the 'Three Seals Can Break the Sky' technique once more. The incantation began to hum within his being.

A ghastly pallor spread across Ye Chenfeng's face as the spiritual energy within him surged violently. A terrifying wave of power rapidly coalesced in his palm. From his extended palm, countless colossal energy whirlwinds erupted, further scarring the already devastated space above Floating Cloud City. Jagged black rifts tore through the sky, marring the cityscape. Immense destructive forces rapidly accumulated in Ye Chenfeng's hand. His complexion grew increasingly ashen, the skin on his raised right palm rapidly cracking under the immense strain of successive, extreme exertions, until his entire hand was slick with blood.

The surrounding environment distorted and warped, obscuring clear vision. The formidable momentum gathering in his palm reached its zenith, and the ground beneath him, long fractured, continued to crumble and sink.

Witnessing this terrifying spectacle, Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian felt an icy dread course through their veins. Despite being at the peak and late stages of the Divine King Realm respectively, they were acutely aware that within this enigmatic realm, their offensive capabilities were significantly diminished. Even combining their strengths and unleashing their respective trump cards, the resulting devastation would likely not surpass what Ye Chenfeng was currently manifesting.

At this critical juncture, Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian finally comprehended the sheer, terrifying power Ye Chenfeng wielded. A mere youth in the Initial Stage of the Divine King Realm had not only annihilated Cheng Gaorong, who was in the Mid Divine King Realm, but had also reduced Floating Cloud City to such ruins, driving them into this desperate predicament. A profound sense of injustice washed over them.

Yet, they knew escape was no longer an option. Just as they were steeling themselves to beg for mercy, Ye Chenfeng's lips curled into a cold smile. "Do you intend to plead for your lives?" he taunted. "Weren't you just acting so high and mighty?"

With his blood-soaked right palm, he lunged towards Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian. A resounding *'boom!'* echoed as the 'Dragon God Overturning Seal, Three Seals Can Break the Sky!' was unleashed. Fiery red spiritual energy billowed from Ye Chenfeng's palm, surging towards Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian like a relentless torrent. As it advanced, this blazing crimson energy rapidly condensed in mid-air, shaping itself into an identical, fiery red Energy Palm Seal.

Upon seeing this, Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian simultaneously unleashed their own Five-Star Secret Methods. "Fierce Beast Opens the Sky!" Tan Muya roared, his spiritual energy manifesting as a colossal, menacing black beast, its gaping maw exuding an aura that threatened to devour the very heavens and earth. "One Finger Kill!" Chu Guangtian declared, thrusting a finger forward to summon a colossal digit formed of pure white energy.

The savage black beast and the immense white finger charged headlong towards Ye Chenfeng's fiery red Energy Palm Seal. With another deafening *'boom!'*, the crimson palm seal effortlessly engulfed and annihilated both Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian's Five-Star Secret Methods.

Upon their consumption, the immense, fiery red Energy Palm Seal struck Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian with lightning speed, leaving them utterly defenseless.

"Ah! Ah!"

Two agonized screams erupted from within the fiery palm strike.

As the fiery red Energy Palm Seal dispersed, Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian collapsed onto the ground, incapacitated. Although their Dantians remained intact, the internal damage they sustained was catastrophic.

The rapid deployment of top-tier secret techniques had completely depleted Ye Chenfeng’s spiritual Qi. Recognizing the critical window, he instantly closed the distance, appearing before Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian.

Crippled by their severe internal injuries, Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian were immobile. Despite their lives not being in immediate peril, the sight of Ye Chenfeng advancing ignited fury in Tan Muya’s eyes, though it quickly faded. "Kid, we misjudged you this time," he rasped. "Killing us offers you no advantage. We possess valuable information regarding how to escape this mysterious realm. Wouldn't you like to hear it?"

Without a second thought, Ye Chenfeng positioned his hands on the heads of Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian, his patience worn thin. He initiated the Soul Search technique immediately. This potent ability allowed for the instant extraction of all memories from a target. However, a consequence of undergoing Soul Search was the irreversible damage to one's mind, potentially leading to a complete collapse of the Sea of Consciousness.

This formidable Soul Search technique had been imparted to Ye Chenfeng by Lao Hei.

Harboring no sympathy for Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian, Ye Chenfeng felt no moral qualm in employing the Soul Search.

As Ye Chenfeng delved into their memories, Lao Bai and Lao Hei became aware of the process. Shortly thereafter, Lao Bai, whose name was Wu Fengxian, commented, "Their recollections are indeed quite useful. They have uncovered numerous leads, suggesting that you, young one, may indeed find a path out of this place."
