Ye Chenfeng unleashes three Divine Domains, shattering the elders' defenses and defeating them. He then absorbs their power, significantly increasing his own cultivation.

Chapter 2273: The Final Seal

The forms of the two Elder Voidbright were completely consumed, leaving behind only desiccated husks.

Having absorbed the essence from these two elders, the three Divine Domains, which had been forcefully extracted, began to rapidly retract.

A flash of brilliance once more illuminated the space between Ye Chenfeng’s brows, and the three Divine Domains – one gilded, one pearlescent, and one obsidian – retreated back into his forehead.

With the return of the three Divine Domains, Ye Chenfeng staggered, his balance faltering as if he were on the verge of collapse. A splitting pain seized his head, his brain feeling as though it might rupture – a possible consequence of drawing upon the Divine Domains before attaining the Divine King Realm.

Enduring this intense agony for a period, Ye Chenfeng gradually found his footing. Sensing the peak strength of the sixth layer of the Heavenly God Realm coursing through him, he slowly expelled a breath.

It was recalled that during the Tianxuan Festival, Ye Chenfeng had acquired the inner core of an ancient earth spider. According to Old Bai and Old Hei, this core possessed the ability to propel an individual at the seventh layer of the Heavenly God Realm directly into the Divine King Realm.

Now, Ye Chenfeng stood merely a single step away from breaching the seventh layer of the Heavenly God Realm. With the ancient earth spider’s inner core in his possession, his advancement to the Divine King Realm would be unimpeded.

As the throbbing pain in his head gradually subsided, Ye Chenfeng made his way to the side of the unconscious Tan Yuanwu.

The voice of the Bloodswallow Clan Leader resonated once more within Ye Chenfeng’s mind: “You possess such a Secret Technique to siphon power from others? Furthermore, your enhanced strength is remarkably stable, without a hint of imbalance – even more so than if you had cultivated it step by step? This time, our Bloodswallow Clan has indeed discovered a true treasure in you. All that you are will belong to us, and there is no way I will let you perish now.”

The Bloodswallow Clan Leader’s voice quivered with elation, clearly overwhelmed by the multitude of surprises Ye Chenfeng had presented.

Ye Chenfeng continued his efforts to tend to Tan Yuanwu. Not long after, Tan Yuanwu stirred from his unconscious state.

Feeling a touch of disorientation, Tan Yuanwu’s eyes fluttered open. Though still somewhat dazed, his mind rapidly pieced together the events preceding his blackout.

His gaze swept across the surroundings. Upon noticing the two withered corpses on the ground, a wave of shock mixed with numbness washed over him – he had never anticipated Ye Chenfeng would single-handedly vanquish the two Elder Voidbright.

Just as he prepared to address Ye Chenfeng, he immediately perceived a distinct alteration in Ye Chenfeng’s aura.

After careful assessment and confirmation that Ye Chenfeng resided at the pinnacle of the sixth layer of the Heavenly God Realm, Tan Yuanwu’s eyes widened in disbelief. How could Ye Chenfeng, in the short span of his unconsciousness, inexplicably ascend from the initial stage of the fifth layer to the peak of the sixth layer of the Heavenly God Realm?

Was this not utterly astonishing? Who in history had ever achieved such a rate of power augmentation?

Nevertheless, Tan Yuanwu refrained from further inquiry. His physical body bore significant injuries, which Ye Chenfeng was diligently working to mend.

Following a period of rest lasting approximately seven hours, Tan Yuanwu’s wounds had largely healed, and the residual effects of Ye Chenfeng’s forced extraction of the Divine Domains had mostly dissipated. They were now prepared to resume their expedition.

Ye Chenfeng was eager to locate the final segment of the Undying Seal. The resurgence of the Bloodswallow Clan was inevitable, and the subsequent restoration of Bai Xiaorou and Wu Lingxiang would necessitate the blood of the Bloodswallow Clan.

Driven by the urgency to find the last piece of the seal, Ye Chenfeng harbored a hope that, prior to the Bloodswallow Clan’s full revival, he might be able to establish some form of strategic defense around its final fragment to counter them.

Another three days elapsed.

Ye Chenfeng and Tan Yuanwu had discovered nothing. They had neither encountered any ancestors from the Xiao Yao Palace or other Sects, nor had they located the final segment of the Undying Seal.

As a nascent anxiety began to take root in Ye Chenfeng’s heart, a powerful aura, akin to a soaring dragon of pure white light, surged forth from the western horizon.

Given that Bai Xiaorou and the others remained in a petrified state, their life force steadily diminishing, Ye Chenfeng could not afford any further delays. He needed to secure the Bloodswallow Clan’s blood with utmost haste.

Upon witnessing the ascending white light originating from the west, Ye Chenfeng exchanged a glance with Tan Yuanwu before launching himself into the air, heading directly towards the source. Tan Yuanwu followed closely behind.

Approximately five hours into their aerial journey.

Ye Chenfeng and Tan Yuanwu finally reached the origin of the distinctive white light.

Below them, spread across the ground.

An enormous arena, constructed entirely from Heavenly Grade Spirit Stones, stood enveloped in soaring white light. Piled high with various heavenly treasures around it, the arena also had books of cultivation techniques and combat skills floating above, each item extremely precious in the Central State.

Based on their senses and visual perception, everything appeared astonishingly real, as if it were all genuine.

However, the white light surrounding the arena was immensely dense; not even an expert at the Peak of the Divine King Realm could breach it.

Yet, Ye Chenfeng possessed the knowledge that all of this was a fabrication, merely an illusion of incredible realism—within this illusory space lay the final quarter of the Undying Seal.

As Ye Chenfeng and Tan Yuanwu arrived overhead.

Those already gathered below directed their gazes towards the newcomers, Ye Chenfeng and Tan Yuanwu.

Elders from the Xiao Yao Palace, the Heavenly Sword Sect, and the Jin family were all assembled in this location.

Representing the Heavenly Sword Sect were elders Li Yuanmu and Hua Wanchuan.

From Xiao Yao Palace were elders Luo Qianjiang, Luo Qianhai, and Zhao Wanzhong.

Additionally, the Jin family was represented by their elder, Jin Hongsheng.

Beyond the revered ancestors from Sects like Xiao Yao Palace, a multitude of other Sects’ experts, spanning the Heavenly God Realm and the Divine King Realm, had also converged here.

Among these assembled individuals, Luo Qianjiang and Jin Hongsheng’s eyes widened slightly upon spotting Ye Chenfeng and Tan Yuanwu. They had witnessed Ye Chenfeng and his companions being encircled by Brain-Eating Ghost Insects with their own eyes previously. Despite relying on the Heaven and Earth Flame, Ye Chenfeng and his group had been on the brink of annihilation, destined to have their minds consumed by the insects.

Now, however, Ye Chenfeng stood before them completely unharmed? More importantly, upon sensing Ye Chenfeng’s current aura, which resonated at the peak of the sixth layer of the Heavenly God Realm, they felt an even greater sense of disquiet—not only had Ye Chenfeng survived the onslaught of the countless Brain-Eating Ghost Insects, but his strength had also surged so dramatically?

Ye Chenfeng was aware that an encounter with Luo Qianjiang and the others was unavoidable. He observed that the white light enveloping the final quarter of the seal was on the verge of dissipating, after which no one would be able to focus on their presence. Therefore, Ye Chenfeng initiated his descent approximately a hundred meters away from Luo Qianjiang and his company.

Tan Yuanwu swiftly followed, landing beside Ye Chenfeng.
