Heart Connection Art.
The name itself indicates a spiritual link.
However, the Heart Connection Art utilized by the two Kongming elders achieved more than just a spiritual bond; it united their spiritual energy, momentum, breathing, and essentially everything else.
This meant the two individuals essentially became one entity.
The Heart Connection Art technique of the Kongming elders was quite a renowned secret in the Central State. Typically, even if two experts at the Mid Divine King Realm joined forces against a single Mid Divine King Realm cultivator, they would swiftly face defeat.
Yet, upon activating the Heart Connection Art, the Kongming elders’ combined combat strength surged dramatically, enabling them to contend with a cultivator at the Mid Divine King Realm. Once one reached the Divine King Realm, overcoming opponents significantly higher in cultivation became extraordinarily difficult, to the point where such feats were practically unheard of.
This was unless one possessed exceptionally rare, heaven-defying talent, allowing them to still challenge those above their cultivation level even after entering the Divine King Realm.
While the Kongming elders executed the Heart Connection Art, Lao Bai and Lao Hei took the opportunity to explain the intricacies of their technique to Ye Chenfeng.
Grasping the formidable nature of their skill, Ye Chenfeng’s brow furrowed slightly, recognizing the gravity of the current situation.
As he was deep in thought.
The perfectly synchronized Kongming elders, enveloped by an immense spiritual energy, rapidly advanced towards Ye Chenfeng.
Sensing their approach, Ye Chenfeng.
He ascended into the air, his Qingyun Sword held firmly in his grasp.
Soaring skyward, Ye Chenfeng began to circulate the tenth-tier Unyielding Sword Intent within his being.
The entirety of the Qingyun Sword pulsed with potent sword qi as he brought it down in a powerful arc, unleashing, “Tenth-tier Unyielding Sword Intent!”
The colossal wave of brown sword qi sliced downwards towards the Kongming elders below.
The speed of the descending brown sword qi was astonishingly swift, yet the Kongming elders moved even faster. They augmented their speed once more in an instant, effortlessly evading the torrent of sword qi.
“Boom!”
The brown sword qi carved a massive gash into the ground where it struck. Meanwhile, the figures of the Kongming elders shot upwards, positioning themselves about ten meters in mid-air from Ye Chenfeng.
A grim determination settled on the faces of the Kongming elders as they spoke in unison, a direct consequence of employing the Heart Connection Art: “Insignificant brat, it appears we truly underestimated your capabilities. It's no wonder the Xiao Yao Palace is so desperate to eliminate you; with such prodigious talent, should you be allowed to mature, you could very well become the downfall of Xiao Yao Palace.”
The aura emanating from the two Kongming elders continued to surge, causing the surrounding space to tremble. They held immense confidence in the Heart Connection Art; while Ye Chenfeng's combat prowess was undoubtedly formidable, it still possessed limitations, and crucially, his cultivation was merely at the Initial Stage of the fifth-layer of the Heavenly God Realm.
After activating the Heart Connection Art, their combined might was comparable to masters at the Mid Divine King Realm. Each incremental advancement in cultivation after reaching the Divine King Realm brought about drastic power increases.
“However, your current cultivation falls somewhat short; if this is the extent of your combat power, then regrettably, you are destined to perish by our hands,” the Kongming elders declared in perfect unison.
As their synchronized words concluded.
The fabric of the surrounding space contorted violently. Once the distortion reached a certain threshold, their figures dissolved from view.
The instant they reappeared, they were directly before Ye Chenfeng.
Faced with the blistering speed of the Kongming elders after their Heart Connection Art activation, Ye Chenfeng struggled to react. As both elders simultaneously delivered a punch, their fists seemed capable of tearing the very void apart.
Ye Chenfeng could only instinctively raise his arms to shield himself, unable to evade the onslaught in time.
“Boom! Boom!”
The fists of the Kongming elders landed squarely on Ye Chenfeng’s arms.
His sleeves were utterly shredded, and the skin on his arms split open from the impact. The sheer force exerted by the Kongming elders sent his body hurtling backward repeatedly.
However, the Kongming elders showed no sign of relenting. As Ye Chenfeng was propelled away, their figures surged forward once more, closing the distance.
Realizing the perilous nature of the situation if it persisted, Ye Chenfeng swiftly unleashed the Phoenix Profound Meaning dormant within him as they attacked again.
In that moment, he pushed the Phoenix Profound Meaning to its absolute limit.
“Rampage!”
An explosive surge of power erupted from his core, transforming his hair and eyes to a fiery brimstone red.
He was instantly engulfed in a magnificent inferno.
His cultivation momentum rapidly ascended.
Middle Stage of the fifth-layer of the Heavenly God Realm.
Later Stage of the fifth-layer of the Heavenly God Realm.
Peak of the fifth-layer of the Heavenly God Realm.
Finally, Ye Chenfeng’s cultivation momentum stabilized, reaching the Initial Stage of the sixth layer of the Heavenly God Realm.
The rampage state, which granted an instantaneous surge in strength to the Initial Stage of the sixth layer of the Heavenly God Realm, could only be maintained for approximately ten seconds. As the Kongming elders closed in, Ye Chenfeng’s speed amplified. Simultaneously, lightning flashed beneath his feet; they, too, had activated the Four-Star Secret Method, the Thousand Thunder Flash.
Ye Chenfeng’s speed accelerated to its absolute limit. He evaded the renewed assault from the Kongming elders and instantly repositioned behind them, launching a preemptive strike. With only ten seconds remaining, Ye Chenfeng could not afford to squander even a moment, leaving no time for the deployment of additional secret techniques.
His immediate objective was to neutralize one of the Kongming elders. The Qingyun Sword was thrust directly towards the leader’s head, its interior surging with sword qi, rendering the Qingyun Sword exceptionally keen.
The Kongming elders, having missed their mark, pivoted instantaneously upon perceiving the shift behind them.
Ye Chenfeng had already closed the distance. At this juncture, his velocity was astonishingly swift, even outclassing theirs and rendering evasion impossible. The Qingyun Sword, held by Ye Chenfeng, drew perilously close to the head of the Kongming elder leading the group.
Should the incisive sword strike succeed, the leader’s head would undoubtedly be impaled.
If Ye Chenfeng were to fell one of the Kongming elders, the remaining one would pose no significant threat to him.
But then, unexpectedly.
The Kongming elders’ brows twitched with rapid intensity, and two surges of Divine Sense erupted forth.
“Boom! Boom!”
Brilliant beams of light burst from the elders’ brows, accompanied by a white Sea of Consciousness that surged outward from within them simultaneously.
The two ethereal Kongming elders unleashed their Divine Domain.
Their external Divine Domains rapidly coalesced, intertwining.
Trapped within the combined Divine Domain of the Kongming elders, Ye Chenfeng felt an overwhelming force constricting him. His speed and power began to diminish at an alarming rate.
With Ye Chenfeng’s sudden decline in speed and might, the Kongming elders effortlessly sidestepped his blade. The leader then spoke, his voice laced with a sinister malice, “You brat, you shall meet your demise today.”
