The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2359 - 2348: The Ghost Venerable’s Wrath

Accompanying the process.

The Tri-Color Flame Lotus, suspended in mid-air, spun ceaselessly.

As the blue flames within the hall diminished, the terrified voice of the Ice-Fire Blue Flame cried out: "Stop, stop immediately. You cannot devour me; I can let you leave here right now, just stop now."

The Green Flame remained unmoved by the Ice-Fire Blue Flame’s desperate pleas, its Tri-Color Flame Lotus continuing its rotation.

Swiftly, the Ice-Fire Blue Flame was consumed by the Green Flame. Just as it was on the verge of complete absorption, it shrieked hoarsely: "Do you know who my master is? He will absolutely not let you go, you..."

The voice of the Ice-Fire Blue Flame cut off abruptly, utterly assimilated by the Green Flame.

Following the assimilation of the Ice-Fire Blue Flame, the circular aperture in the ground ceased its emission of Origin Power.

The temperature of the Green Flame, now floating in mid-air, escalated dramatically.

"Boom!"

Waves of intense heat radiated outwards in all directions, making the very air within the hall appear as though it might liquefy.

The Green Flame’s temperature surged from the Early Divine King Realm directly to the Mid Divine King Realm.

Upon reaching the Mid Divine King Realm temperature, the Green Flame’s heat ceased its ascent, but a new hue manifested on the Tri-Color Flame Lotus. Originally composed of green, red, and purple, it now displayed green, red, purple, and blue, transforming into a Four-Color Flame Lotus.

"Pfft."

The Four-Color Flame Lotus dissolved, reverting to its true flame form.

The fire, now a blend of green, red, purple, and blue, seemed to have ascended to the status of a four-colored flame.

Having originally devoured the Early Divine King Realm Ice-Fire Blue Flame and a substantial quantity of its Origin Power, the Green Flame’s temperature had indeed risen significantly.

The Green Flame should have progressed to the four-colored flame state, consuming most of the energy, and ultimately only achieving a minor temperature increase. However, it was undeniably beneficial, as adding a new color to a flame is exceedingly difficult, and even with ample energy, success is not assured.

Yet, the Green Flame acquired an additional color, a rare and precious occurrence, for the more colors a flame possesses, the more challenging it becomes to introduce another.

The Four-Color Flame returned to Ye Chenfeng’s palm.

Ye Chenfeng clenched his fist, guiding the Green Flame back into his Dantian, having registered the Ice-Fire Blue Flame’s final, desperate cries.

It appeared the Ice-Fire Blue Flame also possessed a master.

The power of the Ice-Fire Blue Flame’s master was likely considerable, rendering it imprudent to prolong their stay; however, to depart, an exit was necessary. Suddenly, an idea sparked in his mind. Since the Green Flame had now merged with the Ice-Fire Blue Flame, which was intimately familiar with this locale, did this imply the Green Flame now held sway over this place?

Ye Chenfeng cautiously employed the Green Flame within his Dantian to probe the surroundings. He gradually perceived all within the valley and directed the Green Flame to search for traces of Hundred-Heart Grass, but ultimately found none.

Ye Chenfeng also detected Cheng Yuanmu, Cheng Yiyao, and the others, confirming their continued safety. He frowned, realizing that all the Spirit Grass in the valley was rapidly withering. Could this be a consequence of the Green Flame consuming the Ice-Fire Blue Flame?

Previously overlooked, Ye Chenfeng now observed that the various Spirit Grass present were predominantly of the Ice and Fire Attributes. The Ice-Fire Blue Flame itself possessed both attributes, suggesting a profound connection between all the natural treasures in this area and the Ice-Fire Blue Flame.

Through the Green Flame, now infused with the essence of the Ice-Fire Blue Flame, Ye Chenfeng clearly discerned a control mechanism within the hall that governed the valley. He proceeded to activate two such mechanisms.

Instantly, a blinding white light enveloped Ye Chenfeng.

It should be noted that among the mechanisms Ye Chenfeng activated was one directly linked to the location of Cheng Yuanmu, Cheng Yiyao, and their companions.

As Ye Chenfeng was consumed by the white light, Cheng Yuanmu, Cheng Yiyao, and the middle-aged man from the Cheng family, who was in the Divine King Realm, were similarly engulfed. Meanwhile, the middle-aged man of the Zhu clan, having inadvertently triggered a different mechanism, found himself transported elsewhere in the valley. His entire body was afflicted with a purple hue, a clear indication he had perished from poisoning.

In the subsequent second.

Ye Chenfeng materialized back at the valley's entrance.

Cheng Yuanmu, Cheng Yiyao, and the middle-aged Divine King Realm individual from the Cheng family also reappeared at the entrance.

Upon witnessing Ye Chenfeng’s unharmed state, Cheng Yuanmu and Cheng Yiyao’s faces broke into genuine smiles.

Cheng Yuanmu also noted the withered state of the valley’s Spirit Grass, his brow furrowing. "Something has changed; it is evident we should not remain here. We must depart immediately; this is quite peculiar!"

Unaware that Zhu Zhize and Zhu Tianlei had been slain by Ye Chenfeng, Cheng Yuanmu and Cheng Yiyao still perceived Ye Chenfeng as the same powerless novice.

Thus, Cheng Yuanmu and Cheng Yiyao surmised that Zhu Zhize and his companions were likely still held captive somewhere within the valley's confines.

While the Cheng and Zhu families harbored initial animosities, the discovery of the valley prompted a temporary alliance. Given Zhu Zhize's current predicament, Cheng Yuanmu had no intention of lingering any longer.

Upon exiting the valley,

Cheng Yuanmu's storage ring flashed, and a Spirit Boat materialized, hovering in the air. Cheng Yuanmu and Ye Chenfeng stepped onto the vessel, immediately followed by Cheng Yiyao and a middle-aged Divine King Realm expert from the Cheng family.

Once aboard the Spirit Boat,

Cheng Yuanmu piloted the craft towards the direction of the Cheng territory. A sense of unease settled upon him, fueled by the peculiar transformations the valley had undergone.

Three hours after Cheng Yuanmu and the others departed via the Spirit Boat,

A spectral silhouette materialized without a sound deep within the valley, exuding an immensely potent aura.

The shadow's breathing was ragged, a clear sign of incandescent rage; its voice, a guttural growl, seemed to echo from the depths of Hell: "Who? Who dared to devour my Heaven and Earth Flame?"

As the furious accusation reverberated,

Waves of formidable aura emanated from the shadow, its power seemingly residing in the Early Divine Venerate Realm.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!—"

Under the assault of this overwhelming aura, the surrounding stone walls of the valley fractured and crumbled at an alarming rate, ultimately disintegrating into fine dust.

The pervasive aura and spiritual energy continued to surge outwards.

In a mere handful of breaths, the entire valley was reduced to desolate ruins, a stark testament to the immense superiority of a Divine Venerable Realm expert over those in the Divine King Realm.
