Bao Xiangtian appeared relaxed and at ease.

Although Ye Chenfeng’s Heaven and Earth Flame, the Green Flame, had an extraordinary temperature, Bao Xiangtian could sense that it still couldn’t threaten his life.

Bao Xiangtian’s eyes were fixed on the pool of boiling purple-red flame liquid. As soon as Ye Chenfeng emerged, he planned to cripple Ye Chenfeng first, breaking his arms and legs.

As the shadow in the pool got closer, spiritual energy flowed through Bao Xiangtian’s arms. He seized the moment, ready to strike as Ye Chenfeng emerged, and shouted from his throat, "Kid, just wait for death obediently!"

However.

With a "boom!"

The boiling purple-red flame liquid shot up from the pool, the flames splashing in all directions.

This huge disturbance caused Bao Xiangtian to involuntarily step back. He wasn’t able to attack Ye Chenfeng immediately.

As the splashed purple-red flame liquid returned to the pool, Ye Chenfeng’s figure appeared at the pool’s edge. He suddenly activated the Spiritual Qi River in his meridians.

Because he had cultivated three Supreme Techniques, there were three Spiritual Qi Rivers in his meridians.

However, he could only operate one Spiritual Qi River at a time. It seemed that to operate all three simultaneously, he must merge these three cultivation techniques.

When the Spiritual Qi River from the Divine Blood Art operated in his meridians, a powerful momentum surged from Ye Chenfeng’s body, and the pressure of the Initial Stage of the Divine King Realm oppressed Bao Xiangtian.

Originally having stepped back, Bao Xiangtian prepared to make a move again, but upon feeling Ye Chenfeng’s momentum, he instantly froze. His eyes widened like lanterns, and he held his breath. He could hardly believe what he felt and saw.

Bao Xiangtian checked several times, and after confirming it was not an illusion, sweat densely beaded on his forehead, and he swallowed nervously. His emotions were wildly fluctuating.

He had just considered Ye Chenfeng as easily crushable garbage, but now everything had changed. Ye Chenfeng was actually a strong practitioner at the Initial Stage of the Divine King Realm?

Bao Xiangtian stammered incredulously, "You... you actually have the strength of the Initial Stage of the Divine King Realm? How could you possibly be from the garbage dump? Who on earth are you?"

Ye Chenfeng, having regained his strength, had no worries facing Bao Xiangtian. After all, Bao Xiangtian’s ability was only the Peak of the seventh layer of the Heavenly God Realm. Calmly, he said, "Does it matter who I am? You’ll soon be a dead man. Is there any need to explain so much to a dead man?"

The calm voice reached Bao Xiangtian’s ears, causing his expression to change drastically. He had already forgotten about the Green Flame. Now the important thing was to preserve his life, and his figure swiftly moved towards a passage, trying to escape.

But just as Bao Xiangtian was about to enter the passage, a shadow blocked his path.

Ye Chenfeng instantly appeared before Bao Xiangtian and smiled, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Didn’t you want my Heaven and Earth Flame? Didn’t you want me to taste agony before sending me on my way?"

The way was blocked.

Ye Chenfeng’s speed was astonishing. It seemed even a typical Initial Stage Divine King Realm practitioner couldn’t achieve such speed.

So, Bao Xiangtian knew there was no escape from Ye Chenfeng’s grasp. Steadying his mind, he said, "Little brother, we can talk this out. I think you just recently arrived in this mysterious space. Otherwise, I would have heard of you. With your strength, you could become the fourth City Lord of Floating Cloud City. As long as you don’t kill me, I’ll listen to anything you say."

Ye Chenfeng looked at Bao Xiangtian, who seemed sincere, but he saw the killing intent in Bao Xiangtian’s eyes. Such a person absolutely couldn’t be left alive, especially since Bao Xiangtian had just tried to kill him.

Ye Chenfeng coldly said, "Unfortunately, I don’t like dogs that bite their masters."

With these words.

Bao Xiangtian knew Ye Chenfeng wouldn’t spare him. His momentum, always poised to strike, now meant he could only fight to the death. Quickly, his right hand struck towards Ye Chenfeng’s chest.

"Divine Ice Palm!"

A layer of white ice instantly covered Bao Xiangtian’s right palm, freezing the surrounding air, and a concentrated spiritual energy burst from his palm.

This spiritual energy, after bursting from Bao Xiangtian’s palm, instantly condensed into a sharp white ice sword, striking towards Ye Chenfeng’s heart.

With a "crack" sound.

The white ice sword, formed by spiritual energy, didn’t even touch Ye Chenfeng’s body but shattered upon hitting the spiritual energy shield around him.

At the moment the white ice sword shattered.

Ye Chenfeng’s right hand closed together, thrusting rapidly and fiercely towards Bao Xiangtian’s throat, piercing through it.

With a "pfft" sound.

After Ye Chenfeng withdrew his hand, a huge bloody hole appeared in Bao Xiangtian’s neck, warm blood continuously gushing out. His life force was utterly extinguished.

After easily dealing with Bao Xiangtian, Ye Chenfeng returned to the pool’s edge, letting the Green Flame continuously absorb the searing energy within the boiling purple-red flame liquid.

Suddenly.

The ground of this space trembled violently.

Soon after, the Green Flame abruptly flew back into Ye Chenfeng’s hand.

What shocked Ye Chenfeng the most was that in just a short time, the temperature of the Green Flame rose to the Peak of the seventh layer of the Heavenly God Realm, capable of incinerating a strong practitioner of that level?

Wasn’t this advancement too swift?

Did the fiery energy within the purple-red flame really possess such power?

Not long after the Green Flame returned to Ye Chenfeng’s hand, the ground trembled more and more fiercely.

A massive black shadow leaped vertically from the pool, about a hundred meters long and several dozen meters wide, clearly a gigantic creature.

Upon seeing the appearance of the massive creature.

It was evidently a Flame Demon Fish, but this Flame Demon Fish’s body size far exceeded the ones Ye Chenfeng had seen before. The other Flame Demon Fish he had seen before were just like small fry compared to this one.

Moreover, the aura emanating from this Flame Demon Fish was at the Peak of the Divine King Realm.

This was a Peak Divine King Realm Flame Demon Fish?

But its size was enormous. Could this Flame Demon Fish be the King of Fishes here, or the ancestor of all the Flame Demon Fish in this lair?
