The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 1223 - 1216: Star Sky Stone

Lie Yan couldn’t hear the voices of Wu Fengxian and Jiang Yuntian. Seeing Ye Chenfeng’s silent demeanor, he thought Ye Chenfeng was contemplating the next strategy. Little did he know that Ye Chenfeng would say, "Valley Master Lie, didn’t we pass through a dense forest just the day before yesterday? Go wait for me in that forest." Having Lie Yan follow would only be a burden to Ye Chenfeng, and it was also the wish of Wu Fengxian and Jiang Yuntian that Lie Yan should leave first.

Upon hearing Ye Chenfeng’s words, Lie Yan immediately replied, "Brother Ye, how could this be? Either we leave together or we stay together."

Ye Chenfeng shook his head and said, "Valley Master Lie, I understand your sentiment, but if you accompany me into the Swamp of Death, I will have to be distracted to take care of you. I will definitely be safe. You just wait for me in that forest; I will surely meet you there tomorrow."

Lie Yan knew that what Ye Chenfeng said was absolutely right. With his current strength, he would only slow Ye Chenfeng down. After hesitating for a while, he finally said, "Alright, I will listen to you, Brother Ye. If you don’t come to meet me in the forest by tomorrow, then I will enter the Swamp of Death to find you."

Watching Lie Yan quietly leave and vanish from sight, Ye Chenfeng once again focused on the distant figures of Liu Wuyuan and the other two, as Wu Fengxian’s voice, the White Shadow Person, echoed again in Ye Chenfeng’s mind: "Kid, you must enter the Swamp of Death immediately. We will cover your breath and vital signs as much as possible."

As soon as the White Shadow Person Wu Fengxian finished speaking, the red gas inside Ye Chenfeng’s Dantian began to spin rapidly, concealing his breath and vital signs so completely that not a trace remained.

Feeling the change within himself, Ye Chenfeng took slow steps towards the Swamp of Death. Since the area outside the swamp was covered with large stones, Ye Chenfeng used them to conceal his body. With his breath and vital signs hidden, he smoothly reached behind a large rock at the entrance of the Swamp of Death, with Liu Wuyuan and the others only fifty meters ahead of him.

After glancing at Liu Wuyuan and the others, Ye Chenfeng took a deep breath in his throat and then dashed swiftly into the forest of the Swamp of Death. As Ye Chenfeng entered the swamp, Qiu Yunshan, at the Middle Stage of the Fourth Tier in the Ocean Gathering Realm, couldn’t help but turn to look back at the entrance of the Swamp of Death with a contemplative expression on his face.

Quan Muyan, the Second Elder, said, "Great Elder, what are you looking at?"

Qiu Yunshan frowned and spoke, "I thought I sensed someone entering the Swamp of Death just now."

Quan Muyan said with a smile, "Great Elder, you are being too cautious. We are in the Ancient Martial World of the Lower Plane. Who could sneak into the Swamp of Death right under our noses? You are giving too much credit to the trash of the Ancient Martial World."

Liu Wuyuan also nodded and added, "Great Elder, the Second Elder is right, don’t let your imagination run wild. What’s important now is to help me seize this great opportunity."

Elsewhere

After dashing into the Swamp of Death, Ye Chenfeng reached the middle of the swamp and sat down under a large tree. Meanwhile, the voice of the White Shadow Person Wu Fengxian rang out again, "Kid, there should appear many stars above the night sky over the Swamp of Death, possibly as many as tens of thousands, a sight that can only be seen from here."

"After the stars emerge, stones wrapped in flames will fall from the night sky. These stones carry great impact and destructive force, formidable enough that even masters at the Peak of the Fifth Tier in the Ocean Gathering Realm struggle to contend with them. However, only by blocking all these stones will tonight’s grand opportunity reveal itself."

"Once these immensely destructive stones from the night sky stop, a multicolored gemstone will form in the sky called the Star Sky Stone. Later, we will attract the Star Sky Stone towards you. Once you absorb the Star Sky Stone, you will be able to successfully transform the Soul Force inside your body."

"Of course, you absolutely must not confront these people directly, or you will be instantly killed. After you absorb the Star Sky Stone, not only can we hide your breath and vital signs, but we can also conceal your body to the point where no one will sense your presence. However, you cannot stand up and walk around; once you do, the effect hiding your body will immediately disappear."

Ye Chenfeng engraved every word from the White Shadow Person in his mind, and at that moment, the night sky turned completely dark above the Swamp of Death. Looking up from the swamp, there was no moon in the sky, not even a single star.

Suddenly, a magnificent light burst forth in the night sky above the Swamp of Death, and then, one by one, stars appeared until the entire night sky was filled with countless stars.

Sitting under a large tree at the very center of the Swamp of Death, Ye Chenfeng’s pupils slightly contracted as he saw Liu Wuyuan, Qiu Yunshan, and Quan Muyan leap onto a towering tree. All three of them stood at the very top of this large tree.

After Liu Wuyuan and the other two climbed to the top of the tree, the night sky filled with myriad stars began to twist. Thunderous booms echoed through the sky, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Following this, chunks of stone enveloped in flames fell from the sky, rapidly attacking Liu Wuyuan and the others.

Liu Wuyuan took a Jade Token from his body and poured his Spiritual Energy into it. Instantly, a protective barrier formed around Liu Wuyuan and the three of them. The flaming boulders shattered one after another upon contact with the barrier.

Below in the Swamp of Death, Ye Chenfeng intently watched Liu Wuyuan and the others as the voice of the White Shadow Person, Jiang Yuntian, echoed in his mind: "These three have defensive High-Grade Magic Artifacts on them? While of a lower tier, combined with their strength, they are more than enough to withstand all the fire stones. Kid, you’re a hundred percent guaranteed to get the Star Sky Stone today."

About fifteen minutes later.

"Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!——"

The Jade Token that Liu Wuyuan held began to show cracks, and then with a "Bang!" it shattered into dust, causing the protective layer encompassing Liu Wuyuan and the others to instantly vanish. The fiery boulders from the night sky immediately bombarded their bodies.

The Great Elder Qiu Yunshan and the Second Elder Quan Muyan calmly circulated their Spiritual Energy within, while Liu Wuyuan cooperated flawlessly with the Great Elder and the Second Elder as if they had long anticipated that the Jade Token would not withstand all the fire stones.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!——"

With the coordination of Liu Wuyuan and the other two, the fire stones falling from the night sky were smashed into dust one by one.

Five minutes passed.

There were no more fire stones falling from the night sky, and the myriad of stars began to converge bit by bit. Eventually, these stars in the sky condensed into a fist-sized, seven-colored stone. When Liu Wuyuan saw this seven-colored stone, he excitedly exclaimed: "It’s really the Star Sky Stone, really the Star Sky Stone. After tonight, I, Liu Wuyuan, will rise powerfully within the Earth Profound Realm."

Next to him, Qiu Yunshan and Quan Muyan could not help swallowing saliva upon seeing the Star Sky Stone, their eyes revealing a greedy gleam.

The moment the Star Sky Stone was formed, the red energy in Ye Chenfeng’s Dantian once again spun rapidly. The Star Sky Stone, initially flying swiftly toward Liu Wuyuan, suddenly changed direction and flew towards Ye Chenfeng. In just two to three seconds, the Star Sky Stone directly passed through Ye Chenfeng’s chest and entered his body.

The instant Ye Chenfeng absorbed the Star Sky Stone, his entire body became invisible.

Liu Wuyuan and the other two standing at the top of the tree had not anticipated the Star Sky Stone’s sudden change of direction. When they came to their senses and looked down at the Swamp of Death, where could they still see the Star Sky Stone? They could not even sense its presence anymore.

"What’s going on? How could this be?" Upon not sensing any trace of the Star Sky Stone, Liu Wuyuan’s expression suddenly became frantic and crazed, his gaze continuously sweeping over the Swamp of Death from above. He knew that the Star Sky Stone was something he absolutely had to obtain.
