# Chapter 1308: Essence Fusion Again
Lin Feng did not know that someone was using a Space Eye to spy on him from a distant place. The Martial Emperor forces had countless methods; this Space Eye was a kind of spatial divine ability, a gaze that penetrated space without form or shadow, extremely difficult to detect. At this moment, Lin Feng was contemplating how to deal with the two powerful cultivators before him.
"You make the move to kill him, and I will use divine thought power to attack, obliterating his divine thoughts!" The leading strong one instructed the other. As great bandits who frequently plundered, they were actually very cautious. Even though they were powerful, having seen Lin Feng kill one of their companions, they immediately gave him sufficient attention, preparing a double encirclement.
"Alright!" The other nodded. A rustling sound roared within his body, and a surge of blood energy rolled and moved—it was the power of bloodline. Soon, a terrifying storm appeared inside him, wrapping around his body and spinning wildly. At this moment, he no longer seemed like a person but a fierce and terrifying storm, constantly tearing space apart, emitting sharp and piercing wind howls.
"It should be a Wind Martial Soul, now turned into a bloodline martial soul power, already transformed into a storm. And with the fusion of Wind Essence power, it makes this storm even stronger!" Lin Feng's eyes froze. That hurricane storm churned heaven and earth, turning into a terrifying dragon-twisting tornado. He could no longer even see the person's figure. If this terrifying storm swept over him, it would definitely tear his body apart, even though his physical body was very tough.
"Chi, chi..." The terrifying storm power tore through space as it came. Suddenly accelerating, it swept clouds and scattered them, howling endlessly. Everything that stood in its way would be torn apart. Moreover, since he himself was the power of wind, his speed was terrifyingly fast.
Lin Feng also applied Wind Essence to his body while stepping with the Carefree Step Art, his footwork carefree. He continuously slashed out several sword strikes. However, when the sword collided with that terrifying storm, it found no place to exert force. The storm's rotational speed was too strong and too terrifying, weakening the sword's power greatly until it was finally extinguished.
"Kill!" The other roared angrily. A brilliant light burst from between his brows. Seven divine thought arrows shot toward Lin Feng, heading straight for the divine thoughts between his brows. A double kill, putting Lin Feng to death.
"Both are very strong. One attacks with a storm, the other with divine thoughts!" Lin Feng's body continuously retreated. Indeed, as he had guessed, dealing with someone at the Fourth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm using the fusion of three powers could kill them. But once the opponent's cultivation and essence both stepped into the fifth layer, it became very difficult to fight. It had already exceeded his attack range. The reason he had killed that Fifth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm person earlier was that he had borrowed the power of two Supreme Sacred Artifacts to succeed.
"Divine Mind Palace!" Lin Feng's Divine Mind Palace sealed off his brow. The divine thought arrows shot into it, and the terrifying divine thought power seemed about to pierce through the Divine Mind Palace, causing Lin Feng's divine thoughts to tremble and his soul to shake.
At the same time, the terrifying storm swept in, the tearing sound still piercing, startling Lin Feng into constantly dodging. His sword howled through the air as he continuously slashed out.
One person, one storm—they turned into flowing light in the void, constantly chasing each other. And that terrifying divine thought power kept attacking relentlessly, nearly driving Lin Feng to collapse.
"At this rate, I will definitely die!" Lin Feng's eyes solidified. His sword could not break through the opponent's storm formed from his own body, so he could not win. The opponent's storm power was both a powerful attack and a defense that wrapped around him, leaving no gaps. Moreover, as soon as his Divine Mind Palace relaxed, the other person's divine thought power would be enough to obliterate him.
"Two bastards!" Lin Feng cursed inwardly. These two had cultivation levels much higher than his, yet they fought so conservatively, giving him no chance to exploit any weakness. How infuriating.
"Hmm?" At that moment, a strong sense of crisis came. Looking up, he saw a terrifying cloud layer pressing down. Within the cloud layer, a cloud palm print reached out, its momentum overwhelming as it pressed down. The entire void's cloud layers rolled and churned, surging toward Lin Feng. The opponent's essence power—Cloud Essence—was ethereal and formless, yet at the moment of attack, it was vast and broad, impossible to avoid.
"Kill!" Lin Feng swung his sword, seeming to cut through the void, splitting the cloud layer. However, that ethereal and formless cloud palm print still struck down, pressing onto Lin Feng's body. A crashing sound rolled out. Lin Feng spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale. This person's cultivation was at the Sixth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm. Fortunately, his Cloud Essence power was only cultivated to the fifth layer; otherwise, this palm strike would have taken his life.
Lin Feng was sent dropping ten meters by this palm strike. His blood energy churned, and his bloodline let out a roaring, howling sound. The power of Life Essence acted on his body, frantically healing his injuries and restoring his vitality.
"Chi, chi..." The terrifying storm once again twisted and killed, along with the rolling cloud layer in the sky. Lin Feng could not even see the opponent's figure. Just like when he had arrived, the opponent used Cloud Essence to hide within the ethereal clouds, ambushing him without being discovered.
"No good. The fusion power of three essences cannot break through that storm. I need the fusion of four essences into a divine ability sword technique to have enough power!" Lin Feng stared at the sweeping storm. With a thought, he stepped away, while at the same time, the Divine Mind Palace and the countless strands of divine thought techniques went wild, resisting the opponent's attack within his divine thoughts.
The opponent did not intend to give Lin Feng any chance to catch his breath. He pursued relentlessly, faster than Lin Feng. If Lin Feng had not cultivated the Carefree Step Art, which incorporated Void Step techniques and Wind Essence, he would not have been able to evade at all.
"My attribute is darkness. Only in darkness can I exert my strongest comprehension!" Lin Feng's eyes turned pitch black, his pupils icy cold. The entire void seemed to darken, becoming completely black. In Lin Feng's eyes, there was only that terrifying storm. At this moment, it seemed that space itself had stopped. Although his body was still floating like flowing light, he felt as if he were still, with only the storm that tore everything in his sight.
"Wind, besides wind's speed, destruction, and explosive power, there is also embrace (baorong)!" Lin Feng stared at that storm. It embraced everything. Wherever it passed, it seemed all power was drawn into it, absorbed within.
"No matter what sword technique or divine ability I slash out, it will be wrapped up by the storm, as if drawn into it." Lin Feng's dark eyes shot out dazzling dark light, as if he had found a breakthrough. Wind Essence was the key to fusion—to incorporate the power of other essences into the all-embracing hurricane.
"Boom!" The formless and shadowless cloud palm once again appeared from the void, striking Lin Feng and making him spit out another mouthful of blood. His body borrowed the momentum to retreat wildly. The power of Life Essence flowed without stopping, as if he had an undying body. Of course, while he was rapidly flickering, the opponent's attacks had not all landed on him—only the residual waves. Otherwise, it would not have been just a mouthful of blood.
But Lin Feng's eyes remained sharp, dark and boundless. The Celestial Fate Sword in his hand let out a buzzing sound, howling endlessly, as if a storm was gathering and forming. The compressed storm power carried a destructive might.
"Desolate Stillness Void Kill is the fusion of lightning, space, and desolation essences. Now, Wind Essence will embrace and fuse into it!" The Celestial Fate Sword burst with brilliant light. The sword itself contained these sword souls—wind, lightning, space, and desolation—all four essence powers had sword souls. Therefore, fusion was easier. Strands of terrifying essence power were drawn into the compressed storm.
"Chi, chi..." The terrifying hurricane storm once again stabbed toward Lin Feng. However, this time, Lin Feng did not dodge. A trace of madness flashed in his dark eyes. The Celestial Fate Sword stabbed forward, also a storm—a compressed storm—piercing into the opponent's hurricane.
"Crack..." The terrifying storm's tearing power ripped apart Lin Feng's clothes, revealing the sacred artifact armor beneath, covering his body. Lin Feng's dark eyes pierced through everything, as if seeing the opponent's eyes merged into the storm. At this moment, the eyes within that storm saw those cold, pitch-black pupils and actually felt a chilling deathly aura.
The sword stabbed deep into the opponent's storm. Lin Feng's body even began to spin wildly with the storm's rotation, moving with the wind.
"Cut!" Lin Feng spat out a single word, his dark eyes icy cold. The Celestial Fate Sword moved, tracing a perfect arc, cutting through the opponent's storm, tearing open a gap.
"Ah..." A miserable cry rolled out. The terrifying storm suddenly retreated far away, gradually calming down. Blood continuously splattered through the void. The opponent's body appeared there, from head to toe, a sharp sword scar running through it, his entire body covered in blood.
"Kill!" A furious roar sounded. The rolling cloud palm power struck down, pressing on Lin Feng. At this moment, Lin Feng could not block it at all. With a thought, his body suddenly disappeared from where he was. When he reappeared, he was in front of the one who had turned into a storm. He slashed out with his sword, adding another strike along the sword scar. The opponent's body was instantly torn apart. Another Fifth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm strong one was dead!
"Whoosh..." The Sixth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm strong one let out a long breath, his expression extremely ugly. Both companions had been killed by Lin Feng.
When Lin Feng's pitch-black eyes slowly turned, looking at those dark pupils, he actually felt a strong chill. Those eyes were very terrifying. Two people had encircled him, yet they still could not kill Lin Feng.
"Come back!" The opponent withdrew his divine thought power from between Lin Feng's brows, his expression cold. "No farewell!"
With that, his body leaped, seeming to step into the rolling cloud layer, disappearing without a trace. A dignified Sixth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm cultivator actually retreated without fighting.
"How pathetic!" Qiongqi howled, then came to Lin Feng's side. A Sixth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm strong one, always fighting timidly, not even putting full effort into his divine thought attacks, and finally just ran away. This kind of Sixth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm cultivator was excessively cautious. Otherwise, Lin Feng would have been at least half dead, let alone having the chance to kill anyone.
Lin Feng also knew it was luck. This kind of strong one, not from a major force but a wandering cultivator, was overly protective of himself, making him excessively cautious. Of course, it was not easy for a wandering cultivator to reach this level. But it could be seen that at the Sixth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm, this person's achievements were about at their limit.
