Trapped within the merged Divine Domains of the two Old Masters Kongming, Ye Chenfeng struggles against their power. Despite a temporary surge achieved through a frenzy state, his strength wanes, leaving him vulnerable. The Old Masters see an opportunity to extract his secrets by drawing out his Sea of Consciousness, a move they believe will kill him. However, Ye Chenfeng, recalling past experiences and advised by Old Bai and Old Hei, prepares to unleash his own Divine Domain.

Chapter 2272: Power Breakthrough

As a surge of golden, white, and black light accompanied the event.

From the center of Ye Chenfeng’s brows, three Divine Domains—golden, white, and black—erupted with intensity.

These three Divine Domains were fully formed and genuine, possessing a might comparable to those unleashed by the two Kongming elders.

Just as Old Bai and Old Hei had surmised, Ye Chenfeng defied ordinary standards. He had indeed forged true Divine Domains, with all three of his Seas of Consciousness manifesting them. Had he not been on the cusp of the Divine King Realm, he would have been capable of releasing his Divine Domain long ago.

With the emergence of the Golden Divine Domain, the White Divine Domain, and the Black Divine Domain.

All three Divine Domains clashed with the Divine Domain of the two Kongming elders.

“Bang!”

Upon impact, the Divine Domain of the two Kongming elders instantly disintegrated. The two elders now found themselves ensnared within Ye Chenfeng’s trine Divine Domains.

However, the Divine Domain is a power exclusive to the Divine King Realm. Ye Chenfeng’s Divine Domains were forcibly summoned, thus their capabilities were significantly restricted. At the very least, they could only constrain the opponents’ speed and strength, without any special abilities manifesting.

Logically, the three Supreme Techniques Ye Chenfeng cultivated should have imbued these Divine Domains with unique powers. It appears that only upon truly breaking through to the Divine King Realm and releasing his Divine Domain can the full extent of their special abilities be revealed.

Although Ye Chenfeng’s condition was substantially improved compared to his state in the Earth Profound Realm, the forcible summons of his three Divine Domains still afflicted him with a splitting headache. He diligently adjusted his state, and with a period of recovery, the spiritual energy within him had partially replenished.

Ye Chenfeng gazed indifferently at the two Kongming elders. “Are you satisfied with my Divine Domains?” he inquired.

Trapped within Ye Chenfeng’s three Divine Domains, the two Kongming elders’ mocking smiles froze as their own Divine Domain shattered. Blood trickled involuntarily from their lips, their faces turning ashen.

Ye Chenfeng’s three Divine Domains were overwhelmingly potent, rendering the two Kongming elders immobile. They felt utterly humiliated, having just belittled Ye Chenfeng, only to discover he possessed not one, but three actual Divine Domains?

How could this be possible? A single cultivation technique corresponds to one Sea of Consciousness, implying one Divine Domain! Yet, Ye Chenfeng could manifest three; does this mean he cultivated three techniques?

It defies belief!

Cultivators are known to practice but a single technique. Attempts to cultivate two have historically led to madness and death as meridians ruptured. To cultivate three simultaneously is fundamentally impossible!

Yet, this impossibility unfolded before the very eyes of the two Kongming elders, forcing them to confront the reality: Ye Chenfeng had indeed succeeded in cultivating three techniques. What manner of monstrous talent was Ye Chenfeng?

At this juncture, the two Kongming elders were consumed by profound regret. Despite Ye Chenfeng’s Divine Domain manifestation, he couldn’t release it independently without reaching the Divine King Realm. It was they who had instigated the emergence of Ye Chenfeng’s Divine Domain. Truly, they had brought this upon themselves!

With their Divine Domains disintegrated, the two Kongming elders sustained severe injuries and were rendered powerless to resist within Ye Chenfeng’s three Divine Domains.

Breathing shallowly, Ye Chenfeng drew a deep breath, steeling himself against the intense throbbing in his mind. Just as he prepared to deal with the incapacitated Kongming elders, the ominous voice of the Bloodswallow Clan Leader resonated once more. “Kid, you possess three Divine Domains? And you’ve formed them without reaching the Divine King Realm?”

After a moment of astonishment, the Bloodswallow Clan Leader’s voice deliberately leveled. “It seems I have underestimated you yet again. You won’t perish so easily; even I find myself hesitant to kill you now. Too many intriguing secrets reside within you, worthy of study.”

While the Bloodswallow Clan Leader proclaimed, Ye Chenfeng offered no reply, resolutely stepping towards the two grounded Kongming elders.

Witnessing his advance, the faces of the two Kongming elders contorted with regret. Had they not been so arrogant earlier, they wouldn't be in this dire predicament. Now, unable to even move their bodies, how could they possibly contend with Ye Chenfeng?

As Ye Chenfeng drew nearer, he spoke, his voice cold, “My head and my secrets are not so easily claimed.”

Gripping the Qingyun Sword tightly in his right hand, Ye Chenfeng steadied his breathing, the blade shimmering with concentrated Sword Qi.

Noticing the intensification of Ye Chenfeng's killing intent, the two Kongming elders spoke as one, "Youngster, always leave a path for future encounters; it is good to meet again. We concede this time and will no longer trouble you. We swear by our Martial Hearts!"

Ye Chenfeng replied with a calm tone, "There will be no future meetings for you, as you will soon be reporting to Yama's Palace."

His declaration hung in the air.

The Qingyun Sword in Ye Chenfeng's grasp moved in a swift arc. The eyes of the two Kongming elders widened in shock, but escape was impossible.

"Swish! Swish!" Two distinct sounds echoed.

The heads of the two Kongming elders were severed instantly, falling from their necks.

Following the demise of the two Kongming elders, Ye Chenfeng immediately initiated the Ocean's Embrace technique. He disregarded the Bloodswallow Clan witnessing his use of it. His paramount concern now was to enhance his power, as the resurgence of the Bloodswallow Clan was inevitable. With sufficient strength, his prospects against them would significantly improve.

As the Ocean's Embrace coursed through him, two dark vortexes materialized on the back of Ye Chenfeng's hand. He placed his palm upon the bodies of the fallen Kongming elders.

The black vortexes on his hand began to spin rapidly.

All the potent energy coalescing within the two Kongming elders flowed relentlessly into Ye Chenfeng's being.

Given that the two Kongming elders were cultivators at the Initial Stage of the Divine King Realm, this constituted a grand feast for Ye Chenfeng.

The essence from within the Kongming elders was continuously absorbed by Ye Chenfeng, causing his aura to ascend dramatically.

Prior to this, after recovering from his berserk state, Ye Chenfeng's cultivation had regressed to the Initial Stage of the fifth level of the Heavenly God Realm.

Now, his aura surged with incredible speed.

Middle Stage, Late Stage, then the Peak of the fifth level of the Heavenly God Realm!

The Initial Stage, Middle Stage, and finally the Late Stage of the sixth level of the Heavenly God Realm!

After completely absorbing the rapidly consolidating power within the two Kongming elders, Ye Chenfeng's aura firmly stabilized at the Peak of the sixth level of the Heavenly God Realm.

After all, the higher one's level of cultivation, the more immense the energy required. Moreover, the Ocean's Embrace technique does not absorb every last bit of a cultivator's energy, making the direct advancement to the Peak of the sixth level of the Heavenly God Realm, after absorbing a portion of the two elders' power, a remarkable feat.
