The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2356 - 2345: I Will Devour You

Upon witnessing the fall of Zhu Tianlei's body to the ground, Zhu Zhize was abruptly pulled from his shock. His composed countenance instantly contorted into a grim expression. He had previously perceived absolutely no Spiritual Qi within Ye Chenfeng's Meridians, and with Ye Chenfeng being merely thirty years of age, he had not further scrutinized Ye Chenfeng's physical prowess.

Pure physical strength proves elusive to gauge, yet judging from Ye Chenfeng's recent assault, Zhu Zhize could surmise that Ye Chenfeng's physical might approximated the seventh level of the Heavenly God Realm at the very least; otherwise, such devastation of Zhu Tianlei would be inconceivable.

A maelstrom of questions swirled within Zhu Zhize's heart, but he cast them aside for the moment. Zhu Tianlei, his direct descendant and most gifted successor, had just perished before his very eyes, igniting a blaze of fury within his chest. Even as a formidable cultivator in the Initial Stage of the Divine King Realm, whose physical strength had also ascended to that very stage, Zhu Zhize could ascertain from Ye Chenfeng's recent display that his own physical power far surpassed the younger man's.

With his withered hand clenched into a tight fist, Zhu Zhize's inner physical force surged uncontrollably. His gaze locked onto Ye Chenfeng, a thunderous roar escaping his lips: "Kid, you dare extinguish the life of my descendant? You court a thousand deaths."

Ye Chenfeng responded with a dismissive sneer, "Absurd. Is it only permissible for you to slay others, and not for me to slay you? Do you truly believe those from the Ancient Realm to be inherently superior?"

Clearly disinclined to prolong their verbal exchange, Zhu Zhize lunged towards Ye Chenfeng. His entire being radiated raw physical force, and the sheer might of an Initial Stage Divine King Realm cultivator was undeniably potent.

Confronting the charging Zhu Zhize, Ye Chenfeng's expression remained remarkably serene. He began to marshal the full extent of his body's physical strength, knowing that his previous strike against Zhu Tianlei had been merely a casual exertion.

As Zhu Zhize closed in relentlessly, he observed Ye Chenfeng's lack of evasive action and his unnervingly calm demeanor, triggering a flicker of unease within him. Yet, he quickly quelled the premonition. For Ye Chenfeng, at the tender age of thirty, to wield physical strength equivalent to the seventh level of the Heavenly God Realm was already astonishing. Could his physical power possibly exceed that level?

Zhu Zhize found such a notion utterly unbelievable. His fist transformed, morphing into an open palm that swept towards Ye Chenfeng's head.

The pure physical Qi erupting from his palm was not to be trifled with.

However, for Ye Chenfeng, this was far from sufficient. His physical body possessed the resilience to rival that of a Mid Divine Honor Realm expert.

Ye Chenfeng unleashed his physical strength to its absolute limit. Zhu Zhize's speed appeared agonizingly slow to him. With a subtle shift, Ye Chenfeng sidestepped Zhu Zhize's palm strike.

Simultaneously, Ye Chenfeng unleashed a direct punch towards Zhu Zhize's abdomen.

Ye Chenfeng's physical velocity also completely outstripped Zhu Zhize's, rendering any attempt at evasion futile.

"Bang!"

A geyser of blood erupted from Zhu Zhize's midsection. Ye Chenfeng's fist directly tore open a gaping wound, instantaneously pulverizing his intestines and stomach.

A searing pain shot through Zhu Zhize's abdomen, and he collapsed to the ground, unable to rise. His face turned deathly pale as he gazed upon the bloody chasm in his stomach, feeling the gruesome destruction within. Disbelief clouded his dull eyes.

Gasping for air, Zhu Zhize fixed his gaze upon the impassive Ye Chenfeng and stammered, "Who, who, who are you?"

Ye Chenfeng flicked the blood from his fist onto the ground, a faint, calm smile gracing his lips. "Who am I? You know quite well. Am I not merely a piece of trash from the Central Continent?"

With those chilling words, Ye Chenfeng brought his foot down directly onto Zhu Zhize's chest, obliterating his heart.

His heart burst, and Zhu Zhize met his end instantly.

Ye Chenfeng paid no further heed to the fallen forms of Zhu Zhize and Zhu Tianlei, his gaze returning to the path stretching directly ahead.

The Green Flame within his Dantian pulsed with increased intensity, and a voice resonated in his mind: "Father, press onward swiftly. I sense a kindred presence. If I can absorb it, my power shall flourish."

The Green Flame, having originated within Ye Chenfeng's being, regarded him as its father. The Green Flame's temperature had now reached the Initial Stage of the Divine King Realm, and its nascent spiritual wisdom was virtually indistinguishable from that of an adult.

Heeding the Green Flame's urgent plea, Ye Chenfeng continued his advance along the straight path. It was no wonder the Green Flame had exhibited such eagerness before; it appeared a potent Heaven and Earth Flame resided nearby. A lesser Heaven and Earth Flame would offer scant benefit for the Green Flame to devour.

An incredibly lengthy, straight path lay ahead.

After traversing it for approximately an hour, a colossal stone door loomed into view before Ye Chenfeng.

With a mere shove of his hand.

This imposing stone portal, which appeared overwhelmingly massive, yielded with surprising ease. Ye Chenfeng’s focus sharpened, and he cautiously ventured through the threshold.

Beyond the stone door lay an expansive hall.

The floor of this grand chamber was carpeted with innumerable circular apertures, each approximately the size of an adult’s fist.

These densely packed holes numbered in the tens of thousands.

Beyond this peculiar detail.

Ye Chenfeng detected no other anomalies within the vicinity.

As Ye Chenfeng meticulously surveyed the hall.

"Boom!"

A sudden eruption of azure flames materialized at the hall's forefront, rapidly coalescing into a resplendent throne.

Upon this fiery throne then settled a being composed entirely of blue flame.

The temperature radiating from this blue flame entity fluctuated erratically, shifting between intense cold and scorching heat.

It was akin to the paradoxical fusion of ice and fire.

Both the frigid and the searing extremes allowed Ye Chenfeng to ascertain that the blue flame's temperature had reached the Initial Stage of the Divine King Realm.

The blue flame entity ominously fixed its gaze upon Ye Chenfeng, its flames dancing with palpable excitement. A voice emanated from its core: "Good, very good!"

The blue flame entity ascended from its throne, continuing its ominous pronouncements: "Perhaps there is a chance to advance to a two-colored flame."

"I, your king, shall devour you." The indistinct visage of the blue flame entity contorted into a ferocious semblance, its frantic voice echoing throughout the vast hall.
