Ye Chenfeng ignored the taunts and threats of Shi Gaoyang, An Juncai, and Qiu Hao as he approached the gates of Eternal City. When Shi Gaoyang attempted to force Ye Chenfeng to kneel and apologize, Ye Chenfeng effortlessly dodged the attack and slapped Shi Gaoyang away. This display of power silenced the other young talents and caused An Juncai and Qiu Hao to retreat.

Song Lanruo and Fang Duo’er’s beautiful eyes emitted a strange brilliance; they hadn’t expected Ye Chenfeng’s physical strength to be so formidable.

Who exactly is this obscure kid?

Shi Gaoyang, with his face covered in blood, staggered up from the ground. Feeling the burning pain on his face, his thoughts gradually cleared, and a volcano-like fury erupted inside him. Completely overtaken by anger, he charged at Ye Chenfeng once more.

Being slapped and sent flying by Ye Chenfeng in public was something Shi Gaoyang couldn’t accept—after all, he was a favored son of the younger generation in the Middle Realm!

Facing the onrushing Shi Gaoyang, Ye Chenfeng frowned. This endless cycle wasn’t a solution. His palm flew out like lightning, this time without holding back, enough to directly turn Shi Gaoyang’s head into a mist of blood.

With a resounding "slap!"

There was no surprise.

The slap once again struck Shi Gaoyang’s cheek, as his head seemed ready to turn into a mist of blood.

Suddenly.

A beam of blue light was born out of nowhere, directly enveloping Shi Gaoyang’s head.

After being engulfed by the blue light, Shi Gaoyang’s cheek didn’t turn into a mist of blood but remained intact, though it looked even more terrifying than before.

What on earth is happening?

Seeing this, Ye Chenfeng felt puzzled in his heart. Without hesitation, he appeared again in front of Shi Gaoyang, his palm striking out repeatedly.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!" The crisp sounds echoed incessantly.

Every time Shi Gaoyang’s head was about to become a mist of blood, a blue light would cover him.

Then, his head would stabilize.

Discovering that he could not turn Shi Gaoyang’s head into a mist of blood, Ye Chenfeng tried to attack Shi Gaoyang’s body.

His body became bloodied, riddled with countless wounds, but whenever he faced a fatal attack.

The blue light would envelop his body, neutralizing the fatal injuries.

After conducting experiments.

Ye Chenfeng concluded that outside of Eternal City, people couldn’t die; a special rule existed here.

With his head entirely like a blood ball, and his body full of holes, Shi Gaoyang desperately lay on the ground.

The rest of the Middle Realm’s younger generation also picked up on some clues. After all, they weren’t foolish; they realized that people couldn’t die here, only get injured. Had they known this earlier, they wouldn’t have fought so hard against the tree monster.

And now, they no longer feared Ye Chenfeng. Knowing that they couldn’t die here, some cultivators no longer had reservations, and they surged towards the city gate of Eternal City.

An Juncai and Qiu Hao followed immediately, while only Song Lanruo and Fang Duo’er remained in place.

Watching the younger generation from the Middle Realm rushing toward the city gate, Ye Chenfeng coldly laughed and shook his head, walking leisurely, not in the least bit hurried.

The Little Demoness Fang Duo’er came to Ye Chenfeng’s side: "Hey, what’s your name? Why aren’t you rushing to the city gate? There are many treasures left by the Eternal Emperor in Eternal City."

Now, no one paid attention to the dying Shi Gaoyang on the ground.

Ye Chenfeng frowned but didn’t answer Fang Duo’er’s question.

Fang Duo’er pouted unhappily: "I asked you a question! Do you understand manners? At what level is your cultivation? You don’t look very old, so you shouldn’t be beyond the Divine King Realm, right? Did you cultivate some kind of body refining technique to bring your physical body to the Divine Venerable Realm?"

Fang Duo’er couldn’t have imagined that Ye Chenfeng’s body was already at the Divine Emperor Realm, and his own strength was also at the Divine Emperor Realm Initial Stage.

After all, a physical body isn’t perceptible, and the constant blue light surrounding Shi Gaoyang just now prevented Ye Chenfeng’s physical power from fully being exhibited in front of everyone.

With Fang Duo’er’s incessant questioning, Ye Chenfeng suddenly halted: "Do we know each other? Why should I answer your questions?"

Song Lanruo also walked over, apologetically saying to Ye Chenfeng, "Duo’er is a bit capricious, please don’t mind her."

Ye Chenfeng had some favorability towards Song Lanruo, especially since she had stood out to speak for him earlier.

As Song Lanruo’s words fell.

It was seen that some cultivators had already reached the city gate, their palms eager to push it open.

But as their palms touched the city gate, they instantly triggered the formation hidden within.

Suddenly, a glow lit up on the entire city gate.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"

Immediately afterwards, arrows of white energy shot out from within the city gate. These arrows were so fast that the cultivators standing at the front had no time to dodge, the arrows smoothly penetrating their bodies.

"It’s okay, we won’t die here, just get injured at most."

"That’s right, we can’t die here, we’ll be fine."

...

Those cultivators pierced by arrows started to mutter to themselves one by one.

However.

Their expressions suddenly changed.

It was seen that any cultivator struck by arrows had their bodies quickly melt into pools of blood.

After melting into blood, it abruptly seeped into the ground below.

Those following behind turned pale, but some didn’t have time to dodge, their bodies also pierced by arrows, eventually turning into blood that merged into the ground.

Only An Juncai, Qiu Hao, and others who were further behind, when realizing the situation was dire, quickly retreated, narrowly escaping the arrows’ penetration.

Eventually, only ten people, including An Juncai and Qiu Hao, survived.

Standing afar beside Ye Chenfeng were Fang Duo’er and Song Lanruo, both dumbstruck. Fang Duo’er excitedly asked, "Did you know this would happen all along?"

Ye Chenfeng didn’t directly answer Fang Duo’er’s question but murmured, "The nutrients should be enough."

As Ye Chenfeng’s voice dropped.

The sound of "crack, crack, crack!" arose, and the city gate opened on its own.

Ye Chenfeng had already roughly speculated the formation’s function on the gate. Outside the city, people couldn’t die; it was a deception to relax vigilance, with the real killer move hidden in the gate’s formation.

This speculation arose after Ye Chenfeng repeatedly failed to kill Shi Gaoyang; indeed, it was consistent with his deduction.

The ground of the city gate needed to absorb enough nutrients—meaning the blood of cultivators—before the two gates would open.

Ye Chenfeng really didn’t care about the fate of these people from the Middle Realm; he had just seen their ugly faces.
