The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2611 - 2600: Dead End?
Previously on The Strongest Dandy in the City...
When those cultivators who once safely exited the Eternal River Domain entered it once more.
The atmosphere around the Eternal River Domain was filled with an eerie aura.
At the same time.
Bubbles emerging from within the Eternal River Domain grew denser, a special energy spread rapidly in all directions from the center of the Eternal River Domain.
The cultivators who had previously drunk the Eternal Water or used it to heal their wounds became visibly uneasy, especially those below the Middle Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm; they felt their consciousness gradually blurring, their entire being slowly losing sensation.
Those who lost consciousness had their eyes turn vacant, and they walked step by step into the Eternal River Domain. Anyone whose eyes became vacant was able to enter the Eternal River Domain smoothly.
Shen Xiutian knitted his brows tightly. He had also used the Eternal Water before and felt a force attempting to control his body, triggering the Spiritual Qi River in his meridians to react.
Fortunately, he was at the later stages of the Divine Emperor Realm, and this force could not completely affect him.
He glanced around, his brows furrowing even tighter, as numerous cultivators seemed to have turned into puppets, their eyes vacant as they entered the Eternal River Domain.
Anyone who had used the Eternal Water, including some strong cultivators at the Initial Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm, also lost their consciousness and finally entered the Eternal River Domain.
Seeing this scene before him, Shen Xiutian felt increasingly worried, pondering over what on earth was happening beneath the Eternal River Domain.
Beneath the Eternal River Domain.
Inside the Eternal City.
The cultivators who entered the Eternal River Domain all appeared one by one in the Eternal City.
The present Eternal City was shrouded in a dense red gas, but this red gas seemed to have eyes, actively avoiding these vacant-eyed cultivators.
Skyhawk’s golden coffin stood upright, wrapped entirely in something resembling white bandages; he hadn’t left the coffin, indicating he hadn’t fully regained mobility yet.
Skyhawk’s hoarse voice echoed in the air: "Though it’s still lacking a bit, I can’t wait any longer."
"Dare to oppose me, Skyhawk? I shall personally tear that brat to pieces."
The vacant-eyed cultivators all walked toward Skyhawk; at about a meter’s distance from Skyhawk.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!——"
The sound of continuous explosions erupted as those cultivators’ bodies burst into blood, all of which converged onto Skyhawk, eventually enveloping him.
As Skyhawk frantically absorbed the blood of these cultivators, cracks appeared on the bandages wrapped around him.
In the past, everyone who managed to leave the Eternal River Domain seemed outwardly stronger, but their bodies had already been controlled by Skyhawk.
This was done to attract more people into the Eternal River Domain, making everyone believe it was a place of opportunity.
As the Eternal River Domain opens only once in many years, it was beyond Skyhawk’s control, so he had waited a long time.
Leaving countless seeds of his consciousness in the Eternal Water was also part of his conspiracy; he could use this consciousness to control some cultivators for his own use.
Seeing the vast number of cultivators around him, Skyhawk had more than enough blood supply and intended to keep some people to manage future matters for him. After all, for him to rise in this era, he needed a force of his own.
As Skyhawk continuously absorbed the blood of one cultivator after another.
Ye Chenfeng emerged from beneath the ground, momentarily stunned by the scene before his eyes.
The surrounding red gas suddenly concentrated towards him, denser than the red gas below ground.
This made the spiritual energy protection around him unstable; under the current circumstances, he couldn’t get close to Skyhawk, as his spiritual energy protection could disperse at any moment, especially with so many cultivators present around Skyhawk.
Skyhawk sensed Ye Chenfeng; unable to move yet, he coldly said: "Little thing, wait a bit longer, and I’ll soon make you understand the meaning of regret."
Ye Chenfeng frowned at the vacant-eyed cultivators and Skyhawk’s ceaseless blood absorption, his spiritual energy protection vibrating violently; he couldn’t stay there any longer, or his protection would shatter instantly, and his figure once again retreated below ground.
He returned to the protective formations in the palace at the fastest possible speed, while more red gas surged below.
After entering the protection.
Ye Chenfeng ignored Song Lanruo and Fang Duo’er and resumed repairing the formations above ground. After witnessing the true power of the red gas, he knew twenty defensive formations were far from enough.
After repairing thirty more defensive formations and activating them, Ye Chenfeng finally took a break.
Sitting on the ground, he pondered intensely; even if he risked his life, he might not be able to approach Skyhawk, and even if he did, Skyhawk probably had other means.
Importantly, this was Skyhawk’s battlefield, and the mere presence of the red gas was enough to give Ye Chenfeng a headache.
The Space Law kept being restricted.
Is it true that this time it’s really the end of the road?
Song Lanruo and Fang Duo’er noticed something off in Ye Chenfeng’s expression, and Song Lanruo asked: "Did something happen up there?"
Ye Chenfeng briefly recounted the situation above.
The expressions of Song Lanruo and Fang Duo’er instantly became extremely grave.
"How could this happen? Why did so many cultivators enter the bottom of the Eternal River Domain? Why are they obeying the person in that coffin above?" Fang Duo’er lightly bit her lip.
Ye Chenfeng gave a casual explanation to Fang Duo’er while reexamining the palace: "There’s something wrong with the Eternal Water in the Eternal River Domain; those people follow his commands because they used the Eternal Water."
Song Lanruo and Fang Duo’er were suddenly shocked.
Then, the two of them felt extremely fortunate that they hadn’t used the Eternal Water. They had originally planned to use it later if needed.
Meanwhile, within Ye Chenfeng’s small world, some people from the Shens had also used the Eternal Water in the past, but since the small world was isolated from here, naturally they were unaffected.
Song Lanruo and Fang Duo’er fell silent, acknowledging that this was truly a narrow escape from death.
