The Strongest Dandy in the City

Chapter 2382 - 2371: The Highly Depleting Vitality

Inside the overturned Coffin of Death, there was no longer any movement.Ye Chenfeng moved his palm away from the Coffin of Death, no longer infusing it with Spiritual Energy.

The black Death Qi Patterns covering his entire body showed no signs of fading. In his mind, Ye Chenfeng struggled to maintain his consciousness. The killing intent within him was rapidly increasing, and his eyes turned blood-red.

Fortunately, he retained his consciousness; otherwise, in his current state, he would undoubtedly attack Cheng Yuanmu and the others.

Forcibly restraining the surging killing intent in his heart, Ye Chenfeng clenched his hands into tight fists, breathing heavily.

He hammered his fists onto the Coffin of Death.

The coffin, now upright, returned to its original size without the constant infiltration of Spiritual Energy. Only a pool of Zhou Wufeng’s blood remained on the ground.

It took a long while for Old Ghost and Cheng Yuanmu and the others to accept this fact. Cheng Yiyao, who was on the brink of death, saw that Ye Chenfeng had ultimately dealt with Zhou Wufeng of the Early Divine Venerate Realm. Her pale lips curled into a smile as she weakly said, "He... he truly created a miracle."

Cheng Yiyao slowly closed her eyes. She finally felt at peace, closing her eyes as she felt her consciousness rapidly fading. Was this what dying felt like?

Meanwhile, Ye Chenfeng, who was in a clear Demonization State, was doing his best to suppress the escalating killing intent within him.

The voice of Old White, Wu Fengxian, rang out: "Young man, you must immediately break free from this state. Though you are currently conscious, your vitality is depleting rapidly under this condition. From the moment you entered this state until now, the life force you’ve consumed is enough to span over three hundred years."

Old Black, Jiang Yuntian, also added: "It’s fortunate that your current cultivation is at the Initial Stage of the Divine King Realm, and your innate vitality is quite robust. Such a consumption isn’t too severe for you, but if this continues, your life will truly be in danger."

"First, try sealing away the Coffin of Death. The reason the Death Qi Patterns are spreading on your body is because the Death Qi from the unsealing of the Coffin of Death is causing them to diffuse."

Ye Chenfeng swiftly sealed the lid of the Coffin of Death, quickly making the necessary seals.

After sealing the Coffin of Death, no more Death Qi infiltrated his body.

Just as Old Black Jiang Yuntian predicted, after sealing the Coffin of Death, the Death Qi Patterns covering Ye Chenfeng’s body quickly contracted, finally shrinking back to their original size, remaining now on his right chest.

Once the Death Qi Patterns reverted, the raging killing intent within Ye Chenfeng vanished without a trace, and his momentum dramatically diminished. His state was even worse than before he entered the clear Demonization; he wavered unsteadily, and his mind grew increasingly blurred.

He shook his head vigorously, his gaze fixed on the weakening breath of Cheng Yiyao. He couldn’t afford to lose consciousness yet, and with a shaky pace, he approached Cheng Yiyao’s side.

Cheng Yuanmu and the old steward were also anxious, but they were both heavily injured and unable to save Cheng Yiyao.

Ye Chenfeng crouched beside Cheng Yiyao.

Zhou Wufeng’s palm had not only injured Cheng Yuanmu, Cheng Yiyao, and the old steward, but also infected them with corpse gas and poison gas.

Cheng Yuanmu and the old steward, having stronger strength, were not in immediate mortal danger, but Cheng Yiyao’s life was threatened by the corpse gas and poison gas.

As long as the corpse gas and poison gas within Cheng Yiyao are dispelled, the rest of her injuries shouldn’t endanger her life.

Ye Chenfeng sliced open his palm, activating the Divine Blood Art within his body, and droplets of Divine Blood dripped from the wound on his palm.

The golden Divine Blood fell onto Cheng Yiyao’s lips.

Divine Blood, being impervious to all poisons, should be able to dispel the corpse gas and poison gas inside Cheng Yiyao.

Feeling the moisture on her lips, Cheng Yiyao, in a semi-conscious state, unconsciously swallowed the Divine Blood that fell on her lips into her throat.

After swallowing the Divine Blood,

Cheng Yiyao’s previously weakening breath slightly recovered, and she awoke from her semi-conscious state. Tasting the blood in her mouth and seeing Ye Chenfeng feeding her his blood, an unusual emotion surged within her.

Seeing that Cheng Yiyao had awakened, Ye Chenfeng checked Cheng Yiyao’s body. After confirming that all the corpse gas and poison gas within her had been eliminated, he moved his hand away from her lips.

Ye Chenfeng’s face was growing even paler, and he smiled at Cheng Yiyao, saying, "I always said that a miracle might happen, and now we are all safe. We can leave the Zhous alive; this should count as a miracle, right?"

Cheng Yiyao, injured, replied softly, "You created this miracle; you changed the fate of me and the ancestor."

Ye Chenfeng exhaled slowly and could no longer hold on. His body collapsed to the ground.

His Spiritual Energy seemed impossible to rouse.

The black Death Qi Patterns on his right chest resumed their deathly stillness, showing no signs of activity.

With eyes closed, Ye Chenfeng’s consciousness grew more muddled, but the voices of Old White and Old Black brought him some clarity.

"Young man, try not to use the Coffin of Death for the time being. It seems to be the key to unlocking the Death Qi Patterns on your body. The state of clear Demonization you just experienced is dangerous, and if you don’t manage the time well, you might completely deplete your vitality."

"Plus, you must remove the Death Qi Patterns from your body as soon as possible. If they linger on your body, they might subtly alter your temperament, preventing you from even entering the Divine Venerable Realm."

"So within the Divine King Realm, you must eliminate the Death Qi Patterns."

Ye Chenfeng nodded to himself; he knew that relying on the Death Qi to boost his combat power was not a long-term strategy or his true strength. Ultimately, his current power was still insufficient. How long would it take before he could reach the legendary Eternal Life Realm?

"Kid, while you sense the Dragon Clan’s aura, begin to search for the current whereabouts of the Wus and Jiangs as well! Since the Dragon Clan’s remaining bloodline is also within the Ancient Realm, it shouldn’t be hard to find," Old Black Jiang Yuntian said.

Old White nodded in agreement: "The remnants of me and Old Black will soon be fully recovered. It won’t be long before we can reshape our bodies and come back to life."

"We need to make some preparations to reshape our bodies. Return to the Wus and Jiangs and have them assist us in preparing. We should be able to revive even faster."
