The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2599 - 2588: Seizing the Nest

Ye Chenfeng, Song Lanruo, and Fang Duo’er were the first to arrive at the place where the purple light surged up in the west.

After the three Array Eyes within the Eternal City were broken, an invisible barrier disappeared, and Ye Chenfeng felt the previously suppressed Spiritual Qi River flow again.

Although the spatial constraint wasn’t lifted, at least the restriction on the Spiritual Qi River was.

As soon as the Spiritual Qi River was unleashed, the flow of Spiritual Qi within Ye Chenfeng’s meridians accelerated, and a fierce aura erupted from his body, causing Song Lanruo and Fang Duo’er to steadily retreat a few steps.

Ye Chenfeng immediately reined in his aura to an extreme degree.

Although Song Lanruo and Fang Duo’er suspected Ye Chenfeng might be at the Divine Emperor Realm, experiencing Ye Chenfeng truly being at the Initial Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm still left their emotions in turbulence.

The purple light gradually faded, revealing a series of stairways leading underground as the surrounding buildings moved aside. Ye Chenfeng asked, "Are you staying here or coming down with me?"

Song Lanruo, coming back to her senses, said, "I’m going down with you."

As Song Lanruo and Fang Duo’er followed Ye Chenfeng downwards, An Juncai and Qiu Hao also spotted the place where the purple light had surged west, feeling their own Spiritual Qi Rivers being restored. They temporarily ceased looting treasures from the buildings, gazing toward the western direction.

"An Juncai, Qiu Hao, you two really know how to pick friends," said Shi Gaoyang, his face covered in scabs, appearing at the scene.

With the restriction on the Spiritual Qi River lifted, Shi Gaoyang immediately performed a secret technique that could heal injuries in a short time, though it could only be used once a month.

Shi Gaoyang, his face full of scabs, looked extremely terrifying, glaring at An Juncai and Qiu Hao with a sinister expression.

An Juncai retorted, "Shi Gaoyang, don’t put it so harsh. If it were us in that situation, you would have left us too. Your grudge is with that kid, not us."

Shi Gaoyang controlled his emotions, his inner anger reaching its peak. He was determined to tear Ye Chenfeng apart. He said, "You’ve also been humiliated by that kid, called two good dogs, yet you can endure it!"

"That kid’s aura seemed youthful; his age definitely doesn’t exceed ours. He must have cultivated some body-tempering technique; his power absolutely doesn’t surpass the Divine King Realm."

Previously shielded by the blue light, Shi Gaoyang couldn’t gauge Ye Chenfeng’s physical strength. He was utterly confounded earlier, estimating Ye Chenfeng’s body strength to be at most at the Divine Venerable Realm.

Now, with the Spiritual Qi River restored, understanding that the body is merely auxiliary, the real cultivation realm is king. He reckoned he wouldn’t lose again.

An Juncai and Qiu Hao also agreed with Shi Gaoyang’s view, having not witnessed Ye Chenfeng demolishing a building with mere physical strength, leaving them stifled with frustration!

Qiu Hao remarked, "The purple light just shot up from the west, and our Spiritual Qi Rivers were restored soon after. Something extraordinary must have appeared there. That kid might be in the west."

Shi Gaoyang sneered, "So what are we waiting for? I can’t wait to hear that kid wailing beneath my feet."

Upon saying this, Shi Gaoyang and his group swiftly sped toward the west.

Meanwhile, Ye Chenfeng and his companions descending underground reached the bottom, revealing an enormous palace.

The palace was crafted luxuriously grand.

Following behind Ye Chenfeng, Song Lanruo and Fang Duo’er kept quietly observing him.

Everything Ye Chenfeng demonstrated left them astonished, ever since manifesting formidable physical power outside the city gates.

The palace’s interior was simplistic in design, but at its center lay a massive golden coffin.

This golden coffin was nearly identical to the one suspended outside.

Ye Chenfeng approached the golden coffin. He didn’t sense anything particular about it.

He placed his palm on the coffin lid, carefully sensing the tranquility within, finding no breath or living presence inside.

His brows furrowed slowly, opening the coffin to find a well-preserved mummified corpse within.

One could faintly discern the luxurious robes this mummy wore. An instinctive hunch told Ye Chenfeng that this mummy should be the Eternal Emperor.

If this was indeed the Eternal Emperor, then whose voice was it that just echoed in his mind?

Ye Chenfeng scrutinized the palace. Despite its simple furnishings, the arrangement was incredibly meticulous.

Moreover, this palace housed various different formations, more than ten thousand in number, albeit all destroyed.

Ye Chenfeng tried punching the mummy.

With a "boom!" sound,

the punch left the mummy intact.

This indicated that in life, this mummy should have been beyond the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm, perhaps not reaching Eternal Life, but infinitely close to it, which is why its bones were so rugged.

Both golden coffins had now been identified.

After unleashing a punch, Ye Chenfeng could almost be certain this was indeed the Eternal Emperor. Then who lay inside the golden coffin outside? Most importantly, there was breathing within the outside coffin.

A hypothesis gradually formed in Ye Chenfeng’s mind.

Could it be that the Eternal Emperor was betrayed back then, and everything he laid here became someone else’s gain?

Someone occupied this place.

It could be said it’s a case of "the magpie occupying the cuckoo’s nest."

The Eternal Emperor of the Chaos Era was surely a significant figure, so who claimed this place?

Ye Chenfeng’s gaze refocused on the interior of the golden coffin, his brow creasing slightly upon noticing tiny, carved words on the coffin’s inner wall.

Upon closer inspection, it read: "Unwilling, I’m unwilling, I, the Eternal Emperor, will not die..."

The words were carved shakily, even left unfinished in the end.

Upon seeing these etched words, Ye Chenfeng was one hundred percent sure that the one lying here was the real Eternal Emperor.

The situation was even more complicated than Ye Chenfeng initially thought; he felt danger drawing near as well. The person occupying this nest would never allow him to leave so easily.

Ye Chenfeng took the Eternal Emperor’s body from the coffin, having come this far, he naturally sought anything usable. Suddenly, he felt something unusual about the corpse of the Eternal Emperor.
