The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2567 - 2556: Aid! In the Midst of a Breakthrough!

The consciousness in Ye Chenfeng’s mind grew more and more hazy.

Meanwhile, Fan Qianrong and Shen Tingyu had completely fallen into a coma.

All of a sudden.

A force wrapped around the bodies of Ye Chenfeng, Fan Qianrong, and Shen Tingyu. This force gave a sudden pull and directly dragged them out from the blood-red lake.

The voice from before sounded again in Ye Chenfeng’s mind: "Let me lend you a hand."

After this force wrapped around the three of them, it dragged them straight toward the right side of this space. During the dragging process, a kind of refreshing, soul-soothing power flowed into Ye Chenfeng’s body, and all the blood that had just entered his body spontaneously flowed back out.

In the end, this force dragged the three of them beneath the Emperor Tree. There was a layer of energy protecting the surroundings of the Emperor Tree, and the blood-red lake water that was chasing after them from behind could not penetrate it at all.

Large swathes of blood-red lake water hung suspended in midair.

Up in the air, they formed an incomparably huge blood-colored face: "Emperor Tree, we have always minded our own business. You want to meddle in my affairs?"

Back then, because the Blood Demon’s Cultivation Technique was vicious and sinister, he was besieged by several experts joining forces. In the end, he preserved a wisp of consciousness and fell here.

At that time, the Emperor Tree happened to be growing here as well, only it had yet to mature. Before it fully grew, the Emperor Tree was no different from an ordinary tree, and it was very hard for anyone to distinguish it.

In the very beginning, with only a sliver of consciousness remaining, the Blood Demon needed constant recuperation to continuously stabilize that last wisp of awareness, so he had no offensive power at that time. When he slowly recovered and discovered that an Emperor Tree had actually grown nearby, although the Emperor Tree had yet to bear fruit, it already possessed a certain degree of self-preservation.

The Blood Demon could do nothing about it either, and so the Blood Demon and the Emperor Tree peacefully coexisted here like this.

After Du Wan He and the others discovered the Blood Demon, the Blood Demon used them to make that wisp of his consciousness grow stronger and stronger. In his view, he would soon be able to rely on his own power to directly devour the entire Emperor Tree.

The branches of the Emperor Tree swayed, and a voice came from within its trunk: "I want to protect them."

The Blood Demon sneered and said: "Very good. I originally wanted to swallow you in one gulp, but with my current strength, even if I tangle with you for a bit, I should still be able to swallow you in the end."

The enormous blood face suspended in midair instantly turned into countless blood pillars, fiercely crashing toward the Emperor Tree.

The "shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo!" sound rang out continuously.

Waves of energy constantly radiated from the trunk of the Emperor Tree, and it was reinforcing the protective energy around it.

The protective barrier, under the Blood Demon’s assault, rippled again and again.

Sitting beneath the Emperor Tree, Ye Chenfeng glanced at the unconscious Fan Qianrong and Shen Tingyu. The Emperor Tree’s voice rang in his mind again: "I can sense that you are the one I have been waiting for. The Emperor Tree is nurtured by heaven and earth; I was born because of heaven and earth. From you, I can feel the aura of heaven and earth. From now on, I will follow you."

Ye Chenfeng suddenly understood. The Star Sky Stone in his heart was the heart of the sky, and the Seven Colored Divine Spring in his Dantian was the blood of the earth. No wonder this Emperor Tree said such words.

The Emperor Tree’s voice once more entered Ye Chenfeng’s mind: "You don’t need to conceal yourself. I can sense that your strength is at the Extreme Peak. I can help you step into the Divine Emperor Realm."

Even Fan Qianrong had not detected his true strength, yet this Emperor Tree had actually sensed it.

Ye Chenfeng also understood what the Emperor Tree meant. So many Emperor’s Fruits had grown on its branches. Although the Emperor’s Fruit could only increase the probability of an Extreme Peak expert stepping into the Divine Emperor Realm, the Emperor’s Fruit could be taken without limit. In other words, by continuously consuming Emperor’s Fruits, Ye Chenfeng was almost certain he could break through to the Divine Emperor Realm.

Ye Chenfeng wasted no more words. He directly sat cross-legged beneath the Emperor Tree. He could tell that the Emperor Tree likely would not be able to endure the Blood Demon’s attacks for much longer.

As soon as Ye Chenfeng sat down cross-legged, a golden Emperor’s Fruit fell directly into his palm, and he swallowed the Emperor’s Fruit into his stomach bite by bite.

This Emperor’s Fruit was extremely sweet, with a faint fragrance when it entered his mouth.

After all, it hadn’t been long since Ye Chenfeng had stepped into the Extreme Peak; it was in fact still a very short time. This meant he lacked deep accumulation. To rely on a single Emperor’s Fruit to step into the Divine Emperor Realm was almost impossible.

After the Emperor’s Fruit turned into liquid and entered Ye Chenfeng’s stomach, he immediately felt a surge of power steaming up inside him, and he entered a very mysterious state.

But before long, he broke free from that mysterious state, which meant he had failed.

Before Ye Chenfeng opened his eyes, a second Emperor’s Fruit had already fallen into his palm, and he unhesitatingly swallowed the second Emperor’s Fruit into his mouth.

Seeing Ye Chenfeng, under the Emperor Tree’s protection, swallowing Emperor’s Fruits one after another, the Blood Demon let out a cold laugh: "Are you tailoring a wedding robe for me? This brat’s body will soon belong to me. You’re feeding him Emperor’s Fruits—tell me, shouldn’t I be thanking you?"

As he spoke.

The massive blood water in midair condensed into an incomparably huge blood-red pillar of water, which suddenly crashed against the Emperor Tree’s energy defense.

With a "bang!"

The energy defense rippled more and more violently, and even the surrounding ground began to tremble fiercely.

At this moment.

Ye Chenfeng was about to open his eyes again—he had failed to break through once more.

At the same time.

The third golden Emperor’s Fruit fell into his hand, and he quickly swallowed it.

If cultivators from the Divine Origin Realm saw Ye Chenfeng gulping down Emperor’s Fruits like this, they would definitely go crazy. Ye Chenfeng was simply cheating!

The Emperor Tree had already gone extinct in the Middle Stage of the Ancient Era. Even when the Emperor Tree had not yet gone extinct, the Emperor’s Fruit was extremely rare. Being able to consume a single Emperor’s Fruit was already an incredible fortune. Who could possibly take them one after another like this?

After consuming the third Emperor’s Fruit, Ye Chenfeng entered that mysterious state once more.

This time he stayed in that mysterious state for relatively longer, but unfortunately he still failed to sense anything.

Thus.

A fourth Emperor’s Fruit fell into his palm, and he swallowed the fourth Emperor’s Fruit as well.

Ye Chenfeng knew he had to break through to the Divine Emperor Realm, because this Emperor Tree likely could not deal with the Blood Demon. Only if he himself stepped into the Divine Emperor Realm would there be a sliver of hope for survival.
