Ye Chenfeng achieved a massive breakthrough to the Initial Peak, shocking everyone with his rapid advancement. He then immediately confronted He Kongsheng, revealing his newfound power by matching a Half-step Divine Emperor blow for blow. Meanwhile, Old Bai and Old Black, steadily regenerating their physical forms, felt Ye Chenfeng's breakthrough and were relieved he could handle the current threat, confident in their own imminent return to power.

When Old White and Old Black’s physical forms were half-formed.

Inside the Broken Dragon Platform.

Ye Chenfeng and He Kongsheng clashed with a palm strike, and the two were evenly matched in strength.

The look in He Kongsheng’s eyes was extremely grave; he hadn’t expected that Ye Chenfeng, who had just broken through to the Peak, would have such power? This was completely beyond his expectations. If Ye Chenfeng were to step into the Divine Emperor Realm in the future, how terrifying would his combat power become?

In He Kongsheng’s eyes, Ye Chenfeng must be eliminated. Ye Chenfeng’s talent far surpassed Wu Fengxian and Jiang Yuntian.

Originally, He Kongsheng had dispatched a half-step Divine Emperor avatar here just to witness the final struggle of the Wus and the Jiangs. With his half-step Divine Emperor avatar, it should have been more than enough, but who knew such an unexpected situation would occur.

Based on Ye Chenfeng’s displayed speed and power, He Kongsheng was almost certain that Ye Chenfeng’s combat power was now on par with his own.

Spiritual energy surged from within his body.

His clothes whipped in the wind.

He Kongsheng moved, and the air around him became turbulent, with an overwhelming gale slamming into Ye Chenfeng’s body.

At this level of combat,

even experts at the Extreme Peak level like Wu Chengyan and Jiang Shengliang couldn’t intervene.

Ye Chenfeng slightly furrowed his brow, ignoring the gale that struck him. Just the power of this gale alone was considerable. If a Heavenly God Realm expert were struck by it, their bones would likely fracture all over in an instant.

As He Kongsheng approached,

his right hand transformed into an eagle claw shape, swiftly reaching toward Ye Chenfeng.

With a "boom!"

A gigantic claw shadow abruptly formed in the air, tearing massive rifts in space, and the spatial turbulence within the rifts was clearly visible.

The entire gigantic claw was black, an extreme black, as rich as ink.

The power of this claw was extraordinary,

a world-destroying pressure, an incredibly tyrannical sharpness, as if it meant to tear Ye Chenfeng’s body apart.

If he were still at the Early Divine Venerable Realm facing this claw, Ye Chenfeng might very well end up half-dead.

But now he was a Peak expert, and the Spiritual Qi River within his meridians surged like a tide, energetically spilling out from his body.

In just a single breath,

a thick spiritual energy shield formed around Ye Chenfeng, enough to defend against the enormous claw shadow.

With a "bang!"

Ye Chenfeng’s surrounding spiritual energy shield could indeed withstand the giant black claw shadow.

But who would have thought,

there was more to the giant black claw shadow.

He Kongsheng had hidden a black iron cage within the giant black claw shadow. Due to the claw shadow being as dark as ink, nothing was visible inside.

When He Kongsheng executed this move, he must have secretly embedded the black iron cage within the claw shadow.

The entire black iron cage exuded a chillingly eerie aura.

Black glow abruptly shot up from the iron cage.

The whole black iron cage rapidly expanded in the air, swiftly closing in on Ye Chenfeng.

Under the iron cage, Ye Chenfeng tightened his brow.

He felt a terrifying pressure emanating from the black iron cage, causing a temporary halt in the flow of the Spiritual Qi River in his meridians.

But in that brief pause,

Ye Chenfeng had no time to evade.

With a "boom!"

Ye Chenfeng was directly trapped inside the black iron cage.

He Kongsheng formed seals in the air with his hands, imprinting black runes onto the surface of the cage.

The entire black iron cage became even darker, and the immense pressure it released made it impossible for even Extreme Peak experts to approach within five meters of it.

Trapped inside the black iron cage, Ye Chenfeng felt the space law was restrained.

The bars around the cage were extremely tough, and even an Early Divine Emperor Realm expert would be unable to break through.

This black iron cage was known as "Trap Heaven, Imprison Earth."

It was an Immortal Artifact He Kongsheng had acquired in recent years.

However, when He Kongsheng first obtained Trap Heaven, Imprison Earth, it was in a damaged state; it took considerable effort to fully repair this Immortal Artifact.

This Trap Heaven, Imprison Earth was not an ordinary Immortal Artifact.

Any cultivator trapped inside would gradually turn into a pool of bloodwater.

Even Early Divine Emperor Realm experts would face the same fate unless they surpassed that realm.

After seeing Ye Chenfeng trapped inside Trap Heaven, Imprison Earth, He Kongsheng said indifferently, "What a pity; if you weren’t the disciple of Wu Fengxian and Jiang Yuntian, I would have definitely taken you under my wing."

"Being able to match wits and strength with my avatar deserves special treatment. I’ll let everyone here watch you slowly turn into a pool of blood, and then I’ll send them on their way to keep you company."

"As a genius, your death should indeed befit your status. So, in consideration of your talents, I’ll grant these people a little extra time alive; shouldn’t you thank me for that?"

In the Trap Heaven, Imprison Earth cage, Ye Chenfeng heard He Kongsheng’s words and slightly focused his gaze, sensing that the surroundings were gradually changing. An invisible force was incessantly infiltrating his body, attempting to liquefy his organs and bones.

He couldn’t break free from Trap Heaven, Imprison Earth.

Moreover, the space law here was restricted.

The discomfort in his body made him slightly crouch, his palms unconsciously supporting him on the ground.

A doubt suddenly arose in his mind.

He was, after all, an Eighth Grade Artifact Refiner.

He sensed a flaw within the Trap Heaven, Imprison Earth’s interior, a flaw likely overlooked by the artifact refiner He Kongsheng had previously sought. After all, this flaw didn’t affect the use of Trap Heaven, Imprison Earth.

His Divine Sense stealthily entered the Trap Heaven, Imprison Earth’s inside.

It contained various intricately engraved Spirit Array Diagrams.

Amidst these Spirit Array Diagrams, Ye Chenfeng suddenly had a unique insight, perceiving through the flaw the Profound Meaning of Artifact Refining within this Immortal Artifact.

This flaw was very difficult to detect.

Though Ye Chenfeng was an Eighth Grade Artifact Refiner, his understanding of artifact refining was profound, and his perception was extremely keen.

The flaw inside Trap Heaven, Imprison Earth was something an ordinary Artifact Refiner would find hard to discern.

Because by mere feel, this flaw seemed normal; most Artifact Refiners wouldn’t consider it a defect.

After Divine Sense stealthily entered,

Ye Chenfeng could actually control Trap Heaven, Imprison Earth undetected through this flaw.

Upon making this discovery,

he was in no hurry, now strategically biding his time, waiting for Old White and Old Black to fully form their bodies.
