Chapter 316: Chapter 215: Terrifying Earthquake, Dragon God’s Blessing!_2

And at this time, Ye Feng finally stopped his training.

After half an hour, relying on his strong perceptual powers and repeatedly practicing, he had become more and more proficient in controlling earthquake abilities.

This was true for both initiating and weakening the force of earthquakes.

"Is it finally coming?" Ye Feng quietly sensed the changes in Heaven and Earth.

Perhaps ordinary people hadn’t noticed anything, but he could already feel the vibrations starting deep within the earth’s crust, and they were getting more intense.

...

In a square not far from Mad Dragon Security Company, Ye Xiangfeng held Ye Rou with one arm and Wang Shuwen with the other hand.

Not far from them stood Yang City’s most powerful individual, Chen Dalong, surrounded by his close confidants Li Huosheng, Zhang Chenggang, Zhao Rong, and Qin Fang.

They had awakened their powers through the Evolution Fruits, making their strength and potential superior to those awakened by Gene Potions, and now they were showing considerable prowess.

Further away, there were fully armed personnel from Mad Dragon Security Company and their family members. All told, there were already more than 1500 people.

But even with so many people around, Ye Xiangfeng still felt unease in his heart.

Just then, from their square, one could see a huge countdown composed of various lights on a nearby building. freēnovelkiss.com

It had entered the final 30 seconds, and everyone’s tension was mounting.

At that moment, Chen Dalong, the strongest among them, looked at the ground, a trace of confusion in his eyes.

"Did you feel that? The ground shook for a moment," he asked the people beside him.

Everyone’s heart tightened, but they looked down at the ground, puzzled, for they had not sensed anything.

Li Huosheng opened his mouth to speak, but before he could ask, the ground began to shake violently.

"It’s... it’s an earthquake."

"Oh my God! An actual earthquake is happening."

"What do we do? Will our houses collapse?"

"Forget about that for now, let’s quickly move away from the buildings. If they fall and hit us, we’re done for."

Suddenly, the square erupted into chaos.

Seeing this scene, Chen Dalong’s expression turned cold, and with a leap, he jumped up onto a nearby street lamp.

He took a deep breath, his chest puffing out as he shouted loudly, "Everyone calm down! Do not move around in disorder. Combat personnel, watch over your families. If anyone causes a stampede or additional casualties that shouldn’t happen, don’t blame me for settling accounts later."

As a Third Order Evolutionist, Chen Dalong’s physical condition had reached superhuman levels, including his vocal cords and throat.

Under his intentional roar, his voice was comparable to a high-powered loudspeaker, especially combined with the Third Order pressure he exerted, quieting the square immediately.

At the same time, a military unit from the edge of the square quickly ran over.

The team leader, holding a megaphone, loudly said, "Don’t panic, everyone. Staying put is the safest thing to do."

"And don’t worry about the surrounding high-rise buildings collapsing onto us. We’ve installed demolition charges on all high-rises, and we will detonate them in advance if necessary to ensure they fall in the designated direction."

With Chen Dalong’s intimidating pressure and the arrival of the military unit to explain, the more than 1500 people in the small square finally ceased their turmoil.

Of course, it wasn’t just this one place that was chaotic; wherever people gathered, there were military teams on guard, hence the disturbances throughout the city were quickly quelled.

Of course, panic was inevitable, as everyone felt the vibrations beneath their feet growing stronger.

Some people were already finding it hard to stand stead. Looking around, they could see trees beginning to sway.

Sounds of objects falling could intermittently be heard from the surrounding buildings, indicating items inside being shaken off and hitting the floor.

Even some sharp-eyed individuals could see cracks appearing on the walls of an old house nearby as it trembled.

All this indicated that the intensity of the earthquake was still rising.

Some of the braver ones directly took out their phones to check the news.

"The earthquake has already reached a magnitude of 5.5 and is still intensifying. It is expected to rise to 6.5 within minutes, and the final magnitude may even reach 7.5 or higher," someone said with a pale face.

A 5.5 and a 7.5 might not sound like a huge difference.

But it’s important to understand that with every one point increase in magnitude, the energy difference is approximately 32 times greater, and a two-point difference would mean 1,000 times more energy.

In reality, there’s no need to reach 7.5; even at 6.5, the majority of buildings would develop cracks and tilt. Even if they didn’t collapse, they would still become dangerous.

As for a 7.5 magnitude earthquake, it would be disastrous. By that time, it wouldn’t just be buildings collapsing—there would be ground fissures, landslides, bridge failures, and dam collapses, which for a city, would mean devastating and fatal destruction.

However, knowing all this was of no use; they could only wait powerlessly, praying.

The only silver lining might be that having prepared in advance, their chances of survival would be much greater.

At this point, Ye Feng was also ready to begin using his Ability to Control Heaven and Earth.

Of course, the first thing he did was not to reduce the earthquake’s intensity but to conjure a Dense Fog Giant that stretched for ten thousand meters in the sky above Yang City.

The appearance of this Giant Scaled Dragon in the sky, twirling and dancing, constantly exuded more dense fog, eventually forming a wall of fog that encircled the entire Yang City.

If viewed from above, it would look as if Yang City was enveloped by a huge protective dome.

The arrival of the Dense Fog Giant instantly captured the attention of the city’s 15 million residents. After all, a ten-thousand-meter-long Dense Fog Giant covered the entire sky, making it hard to miss.

"Is that... the Dense Fog Giant?"

"Yes! It must be the Dragon King taking action."

"The Dragon King is our Guardian God; it must have a way. Dragon King, please save us."

After the initial shock, many people immediately started praying.

At this moment, Ye Feng could feel countless Powers of Faith converging upon the Mutated King Cobra.

With a quick glance, he estimated that with this terrifying rate of convergence, he would gain at least 5 million points of Power of Faith every minute.

If it were any other time, he would be ecstatic, but now he simply gave it a glance before shifting his gaze away, knowing all too well that his expenditure was about to become much greater.

He had created such a great commotion first and foremost to harvest another wave of Power of Faith, in order to reduce some of the losses as much as possible.

"Come on!" Ye Feng felt the ground shaking more and more violently. He knew he couldn’t keep waiting and started to fully activate his Ability to Control Heaven and Earth.

To be honest, it was the first time that Ye Feng had used his power on such a large scale, covering the entire city.

He then used his power to counteract the earthquake.

In Yang City, where the earthquake’s magnitude had been escalating, a reversing force suddenly appeared, preventing the earthquake from intensifying further.

Furthermore, as Ye Feng continually increased the output of the Power of Faith, the earthquake’s magnitude even began to decrease slowly.

However, Ye Feng glanced at his system panel and couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth, seeing the rapidly depleting Power of Faith.

It was consuming a full 10 million points of Power of Faith every minute.

Previously, he would have been overjoyed with the more than 200 million points of Power of Faith at his disposal, not even knowing how to spend it all, but now, if not for the continuous accrual of Power of Faith from the Dragon King’s side, he could only sustain for twenty minutes at most.

Fortunately, an earthquake’s duration typically isn’t too long, usually just a few minutes, so he was still able to hold on.

With Ye Feng’s effort, the earthquake’s magnitude in Yang City continued to drop until it stabilized at 5.0 and then ceased.

But the other cities were not so lucky. The magnitude of the earthquakes everywhere else continued to surge.

By then, the magnitude of the earthquakes in all regions of the world, except for Yang City, had surpassed 7.0, with some reaching a terrifying level of 8.0.

But at that moment, the magnitudes of the earthquakes had finally stopped increasing.

Just as Ye Feng thought the natural disaster was coming to an end, the next event caused his pupils to shrink abruptly.
