Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 257 - 188 Ancient Beasts Qiongqi_1

At this moment, where Ye Feng looked, the murky fog in that area seemed to have dissipated quite a bit.

This also allowed Ye Feng to clearly see the scenery in that place.

A stone sculpture, a thousand meters tall, stood like a small mountain at the end of the Earth.

What’s more important was that the image of this stone sculpture did not resemble any known creature, but instead, it resembled the Qiongqi from legends of ancient times. freewebnσvel.cøm

Ye Feng could sense that the reason his life energy was rapidly draining was all due to the creature before him.

Or rather, the source of all the corrosive energy in this space was the stone sculpture resembling the Qiongqi in the distance.

What was even more terrifying was that as it crazily devoured Ye Feng’s life energy, the aura on the creature’s body was slowly growing stronger.

That vast aura, as if coming from the distant past, made Ye Feng shiver in his heart.

At this moment, Ye Feng had gained some understanding.

The forbidden zone’s continuous absorption of life energy and spiritual energy must be for the revival of the monster before him.

Then, do other forbidden zones also contain such monsters?

One thought after another surfaced in Ye Feng’s mind.

However, at this time, there was no room for further thoughts, because the speed of life energy being lost from his body was simply too terrifying.

If previously one minute only cost 1,000 points of Spiritual Energy and Bioenergy to maintain,

Now, in one minute, the consumption of Spiritual Energy had skyrocketed to 100,000 points.

Therefore, Ye Feng only observed for a few seconds before he did not dare to continue watching. With a thought, he decided to abandon this section of the root and begin to return.

But what shocked Ye Feng was that the instant he made a move, one of the stone eyes of the seemingly lifeless stone sculpture moved a bit, looking in his direction.

Then, Ye Feng felt a very special force attaching itself to his root.

Ye Feng was scared out of his wits at this moment, but fortunately, this special force did not seem to stop him from cutting off the root.

Soon, as the root in the Different Space was severed, it was easily retracted.

Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could relax completely, he discovered with horror that the special force had appeared again at the cut wound.

Moreover, as soon as it appeared, it began to incessantly absorb his life energy. Despite being separated by a Different Space, and the absorption rate had decreased a lot, it still reached a rate of 10,000 points of Spiritual Energy per minute.

This situation immediately gave Ye Feng a fright, considering that his trunk could only store 25,800 points of Spiritual Energy.

When he entered the forbidden zone earlier, although he only stayed for a short ten or so seconds, his Spiritual Energy had already been mostly consumed.

Now his value of Spiritual Energy and Bioenergy had dropped to a dangerous level.

"Good thing I was prepared, or I would have been in serious trouble," Ye Feng thought to himself.

With a thought, a Spirit Fruit and an Energy Fruit hanging from his branch instantly shriveled up, transforming into a vast amount of Spiritual Energy and Bioenergy, and flooded back into his body.

This was one of his contingencies.

Although the amount of Spiritual Energy and Bioenergy stored in his trunk was limited, he could directly create Spirit Fruits and Energy Fruits to store it.

Right now, there were a full 100 Spirit Fruits hanging from his branches, each containing 10,000 points of Spiritual Energy.

In other words, Ye Feng had prepared a total of 1 million points of Spiritual Energy and Bioenergy as reserves to cope with all possible emergencies.

Without a doubt, this precaution had saved his life.

But the crisis had not been averted.

With the current rate of life energy being devoured, even if he had a reserve of a million points of Spiritual Energy, it would only last about an hour and a half at most.

Before that, he had to find a solution.

Feeling the special force accumulating at the root, Ye Feng gritted his teeth and once again made a section of the root fall.

This time, Ye Feng gave up a segment of the root hundreds of meters long, which was much longer than before.

Then, under his watch, the segment of the root shriveled rapidly under the devouring of the special force, turning into dust in the blink of an eye.

Then the special force once again transferred to the cut wound.

"What exactly is this force, and why can it follow me like a shadow?"

Ye Feng could not understand; this had surpassed his realm of understanding and seemed to have escalated to the level of existence like a Rule Power.

Next, Ye Feng made various attempts using Spiritual Energy, life energy, and even trying to resist with the Power of Evolution, but nothing worked.

That special force, or Rule Power, seemed to be able to devour all forms of energy.

At this moment, Ye Feng even considered abandoning his entire Main Root, trying to sever tens of kilometers of root to see if that could cut off the connection.

However, he quickly calmed down and did not attempt it because if he failed, letting the Rule Power reach his trunk might make things even more troublesome.

"There must be a way," Ye Feng reassured himself forcefully, calming down and thinking rapidly. Suddenly an idea flashed through his mind, "That’s right, if my own strength is not enough, then use the entire Heaven and Earth to suppress it."

He thought of his Ability to Control Heaven and Earth, and now with over five million points of Power of Faith at his disposal, he could definitely attempt to invoke the various natural energies within Heaven and Earth to suppress it.

As soon as he thought of it, Ye Feng immediately began to try.

Of course, within the Forbidden Zone, he was unable to use his Ability to Control Heaven and Earth, so he promptly withdrew his roots from there.

However, to Ye Feng’s surprise, as soon as his roots left the boundary of the Forbidden Zone, the Rule Power attached to them started to weaken at a rate visible to the naked eye.

The effect he could exert was only one-tenth of what it had been inside the Forbidden Zone.

At that moment, a realization dawned on Ye Feng: everything within the Forbidden Zone was rejected by this world, even including its power.

That was precisely why the Forbidden Zone kept expanding, attempting to assimilate this part of Heaven and Earth.

Ye Feng wasn’t sure whether this development was good news or bad news for him.

Regardless, the current change was a welcome one.

With this special power weakened by tenfold, it was undoubtedly going to be easier to eliminate.

Ye Feng took a deep breath and began to exert his Ability to Control Heaven and Earth to its fullest; around the root, numerous thin Electric Snakes began to slither.

The Power of thunder and lightning was absolutely yang and rigid, the best means to deal with such Mysterious Power without a doubt.

And unlike before, this time Ye Feng was going all out.

He pushed his Ability to Control Heaven and Earth to the limit, injecting 50,000 points of Power of Faith at once.

And as he targeted that Mysterious Power at the root, he instantly found that leveraging the energy of Heaven and Earth became even more effortless.

He could even use one point of Power of Faith to leverage two points of energy.

It was as if Heaven and Earth itself were aiding him in purging this Mysterious Power.

Although he had expended 50,000 points of Power of Faith, the power of the thunder and lightning he had gathered was no less potent than what 100,000 points of Power of Faith would have produced.

Boom!

At that moment, a thunderclap rang out from the clear sky.

Thousands of thunderbolts suddenly emerged in the void, weaving together and forming a 10-meter-wide sphere made entirely of thunderbolts, which then engulfed Ye Feng’s section of the main root.

Ye Feng felt his root turn to nothingness in an instant, and countless thunderbolts traveled along his main root, spreading towards his body.

In just a brief moment, his many kilometers long main root had turned to charcoal, and even the trunk showed large areas of charring.

Ye Feng had not anticipated such terrifying attack power; merely the power of thunder and lightning spreading from the roots had injured him.

Ye Feng felt that this move would have instantly killed any Sixth Order Mutated Organism.

Of course, after being shocked by the strength of this move, Ye Feng quickly began to sense carefully.

By then his main root had already turned black and fallen off, but the Mysterious Power did not reappear, clearly having been annihilated by the power of the thunder and lightning.

"Very good!" After feeling around carefully and ensuring that the Mysterious Power did not reemerge, Ye Feng finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

As long as the issue was resolved, there was no problem; the injuries spread to his body were of no concern at all, needing only about fifteen minutes for him to regrow the many kilometers long main root.

Naturally, the commotion here had also drawn the military’s attention.

Everyone had been looking in the direction of the Forbidden Zone, but at this moment, they couldn’t help but turn their heads toward the side and rear.

The scene of the heaven-piercing thunder had been fleeting, but the terrifying wave of energy had spread for several kilometers, and the noise was no less intense than that of an exploding Thermostatic Shell, it was hard not to attract attention.

Just as Bai Yinghui was about to order a team to investigate what had happened, the voice of the Mutated Parrot came from the side.

"It’s nothing! The commotion was caused by Dragon Lord taking action."

Hearing this, everyone turned their gazes toward the Mutated Parrot.

However, the Mutated Parrot did not speak but rather flapped its wings and flew toward the nearby Mutated King Cobra.

Through the thinning mist, the onlookers could see the two creatures communicating.

A moment later, the Mutated Parrot flew back and looked at Bai Yinghui and the other officers with a serious tone, "Dragon Lord just used his Divine Skills to investigate the Different Space behind the portal."

"There’s good news and bad news now, which do you want to hear first?"

The military officers exchanged glances, and the final decision naturally fell to Bai Yinghui.

"Then tell us the good news first!" Bai Yinghui directly said.

"The good news is that equipment can be used normally inside the Different Space, and the drone you sent in is still operating. It’s a one-way portal, and that’s why it couldn’t return," said the Mutated Parrot.

Everyone’s faces couldn’t help but show delight at this news, a rare piece of good news indeed, as it meant that many of their methods would be viable.

Bai Yinghui continued, "What’s the bad news then?"

The Mutated Parrot took a deep breath, and with a grave tone, said, "The bad news is that one of the Ancient Beasts, Qiongqi, is sealed within the Different Space, and It is also the source of the entire Forbidden Zone."

"The thunder and loud noise you saw just now were the result of an aerial clash between Dragon Lord and the opponent; Dragon Lord... has been injured."

"Moreover, this was because the fight took place outside the Forbidden Zone, where Qiongqi was suppressed by the power of this world and couldn’t unleash much strength. If the battle occurred within the Forbidden Zone, Its power could be increased by tenfold."
