The elders of Kongming combine their powers with the Heart Connection Art, increasing their combat strength significantly. Ye Chenfeng unleashes his Unyielding Sword Intent, but they evade his attack. In close combat, they injure Ye Chenfeng, forcing him to activate his Phoenix Profound Meaning to briefly reach the Initial Stage of the sixth-layer of the Heavenly God Realm. He gains the upper hand, but the elders use their Divine Domain to trap him. One elder declares Ye Chenfeng will die.

The Heart Connection Art's influence was at play.

Master Kongming's and Old Master Kongming's Divine Domains began to merge.

This fusion naturally amplified their power to a significant degree.

Within their combined Divine Domain, Ye Chenfeng felt as if he were trapped in thick mud, each step becoming an arduous struggle.

A cultivator's Divine Domain is, in essence, their personal world. Once entered, an opponent's speed and power are drastically suppressed, often to the point of immobility.

Naturally, the Divine Domains of those above the Heavenly God Realm possess unique properties; some not only restrict movement and power but also unleash special abilities.

Fueled by a frenzy and the Thousand Thunder Flash technique, Ye Chenfeng's Meridian's Spiritual Qi River pulsed intermittently within the two Masters' Divine Domain. His brow furrowed deeply as he watched precious time tick away, unable to break free from their domain's grasp.

The Divine Domain is a specialized Divine Skill reserved for those who have reached the Heavenly God Realm and above. Escaping one as a cultivator below the Divine King Realm is nearly impossible. This distinction marks the significant difference between the Heavenly God Realm and the Divine King Realm, as it is upon reaching the latter that one can manifest a Divine Domain.

Old Bai and Old Hei offered no assistance to Ye Chenfeng, as they were still undergoing fusion with the Rejuvenation Elixir. Their powers remained inaccessible until their souls were fully restored.

Ten seconds elapsed swiftly.

Ye Chenfeng emerged from his frenzy, his original appearance restored.

However, upon exiting this heightened state, he found himself suddenly weakened, staggering within the Masters' Divine Domain, his face tinged with paleness.

Observing Ye Chenfeng's increasing frailty, the two Old Masters Kongming felt a surge of confidence. They recognized that his temporary burst of strength carried a significant drawback. A weakened Ye Chenfeng, still ensnared within their Divine Domain, posed no real threat.

Still, a shiver ran down their spines as they recalled the preceding danger. Ye Chenfeng had nearly impaled their leader through the head. Had their leader perished, Kongming's second-in-command, besides being permanently capped in his cultivation, would likely have met the same fate at Ye Chenfeng's hands.

Ye Chenfeng's combat prowess had truly impressed the two Old Masters Kongming. They mused that without the deployment of a Divine Domain, Ye Chenfeng might have employed various trump cards to contend with a Mid Divine King Realm expert. With a single lapse in caution, such an expert could very well perish by Ye Chenfeng's hand.

Gloomy expressions settled upon the faces of the two Old Masters Kongming. They had narrowly escaped death at Ye Chenfeng's hands. After a moment, they let out a cold, unified laugh. "Boy, do you possess any more trump cards? This is the critical disparity between the Divine King Realm and the Heavenly God Realm. Can you manifest a Divine Domain? Clearly not. Anyone below the Divine King Realm who forcefully attempts to release a Divine Domain would suffer the collapse of their Sea of Consciousness and perish."

Within the Divine Domain, Ye Chenfeng's breathing grew ragged. The effects of his frenzy left him feeling utterly drained. Just then, the chilling voice of the Bloodswallow Clan's Clan Leader echoed in his mind once more: "Boy, it seems we won't have the chance to properly meet. What a shame, as your combat strength greatly interests me. Should you mature, your power might pose a threat to our Bloodswallow Clan. However, you shall not have the opportunity to grow."

With the Bloodswallow Clan Leader's image resonating in his mind, Ye Chenfeng lacked the energy to dwell on it. He attempted to communicate with Old Bai and Old Hei.

The two Old Masters Kongming spoke again in unison: "Boy, before you meet your end, we shall grant you one final wish! You have not attained the Divine King Realm and have never unleashed a Divine Domain. Let us fulfill that desire and draw out your nascent Divine Domain."

In the estimation of the two Old Masters Kongming, for cultivators below the Divine King Realm, their Divine Domain was merely an advanced Sea of Consciousness, not yet a true manifestation.

Once the Sea of Consciousness of such cultivators was extracted, their Divine Soul would be destroyed, leading to death. Immediately prior to Ye Chenfeng's demise, they intended to perform a Soul Search, thereby uncovering all his secrets.

Tragically for the two Old Masters Kongming, their calculations were flawed. During the Earth Profound Realm, even before Ye Chenfeng cultivated the Dragon God Art and possessed lesser strength, he already had two Seas of Consciousness. His Sea of Consciousness had been extracted then, yet apart from some minor lingering effects, he emerged unharmed.

Upon hearing the words of the Kongming Elders, Ye Chenfeng, Old Bai, and Old Hei were all reminded of the Earth Profound Realm. Old Bai, Wu Fengxian, spoke, "Little fellow, cooperating with them now is your sole path to victory. Even when your cultivation was lower, your Sea of Consciousness had already manifested. Although you haven't reached the Divine King Realm, your Sea of Consciousness might have truly formed a Divine Domain."

Jiang Yuntian (Old Hei) concurred, "Indeed, your Sea of Consciousness was extracted without issue in the Earth Profound Realm. Now that you've entered the Heavenly God Realm, you likely won't face any complications either."

As Old Bai and Old Hei finished speaking,

The two Kongming Elders simultaneously raised their arms, unleashing a peculiar energy from their Divine Domains. This energy formed a powerful suction, focusing on Ye Chenfeng's brow.

A searing pain shot through Ye Chenfeng's head as his brow's golden, black, and white Seas of Consciousness churned violently.

The Kongming Elders jeered, "Boy, let's see what your Divine Domain is made of!"

"As a prodigy like yourself, you must have formed a Divine Domain ages ago, right? Don't let us down!"

While the Kongming Elders continued their taunts,

"Ah!"

Ye Chenfeng let out a sky-shattering roar, his brow pulsating with golden, white, and black light.

Three distinct forces of Divine Sense emanated from his brow.

Witnessing the three different energies, the Kongming Elders sensed that something was not right.

At that precise moment,

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Three powerful impacts echoed.

A surge of golden light erupted from Ye Chenfeng's brow, followed by white light, and then black light.

The surrounding atmosphere vibrated with the immense power of Divine Sense.

As the saying goes, one cannot escape self-inflicted calamity...
