Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 318 - 216: Confronting the Might of Heaven, Man Will Triumph Over Heaven_2

Chapter 318: Chapter 216: Confronting the Might of Heaven, Man Will Triumph Over Heaven_2

Moreover, because his roots were long enough, each one could interweave more than ten times underground.

Therefore, the giant fissure would have to tear his roots 5,000 times to break through this last line of defense.

By the time Ye Feng finished his preparations, the great fissure was only one kilometer away from Yang City.

As continuous lightning struck down, the strange power was further weakened; now, the fissure could only tear the ground open to a maximum of 40 meters.

Even so, the terrifying force contained within it was unimaginable.

When the front tip of the great fissure reached the kilometer of ground fortified with roots, Ye Feng immediately felt an incredibly intense tearing force on every single root.

It’s important to note that the defensive power of the roots wasn’t something a Fifth Order creature could compare with; coupled with the terrifying flexibility and healing ability, the roots’ defense could even surpass that of most Sixth Order creatures.

However, against this terrifying tearing force, his roots were like rotting hemp ropes, easily snapped one after another.

Boom, boom, boom!

The acute sensation of pain made every branch of Ye Feng tremble, but he clenched his teeth and endured.

Although his roots were continuously torn apart, the pace of the great fissure slowed down significantly after entering the last kilometer.

And the speed of the lightning strikes did not slow down at all; the peculiar energy within the fissure was being rapidly neutralized.

"We can make it!" Seeing this, Ye Feng was invigorated, bearing the pain and furiously unleashing lightning attacks.

At this time above Yang City, dozens of armed helicopters hovered.

Since it was clear that the disaster was a massive earthquake, what was the best way to deal with such a disaster? Of course, it would be to leave the ground.

So at this moment, those on the armed helicopters were undoubtedly in the safest place.

Of course, there was limited space on the helicopters, so not many people could go up, but Liu Zaoxin and Bai Yinghui certainly qualified to be there.

Originally, both were on the helicopter, busy directing through the radio.

However, as the Dragon King began to intervene and shelter the whole of Yang City, both stopped their activities, their faces showing sheer ecstasy.

They had never imagined that even a terrifying earthquake could be dealt with by the Dragon King.

But their excitement did not last long; they quickly noticed a terrifying fissure rapidly approaching from afar.

The mood of the two, just beginning to soar, plummeted back to the abyss.

Because considering the direction the fissure was spreading and its terrifying power, it seemed like it was going to split Yang City in two.

It was impossible to know how much damage there would be to the buildings by then.

But soon, they saw thick lightning bolts striking down from the sky.

At first, they did not understand, but as one bolt after another struck down, they could see the terrifying force of the great fissure steadily weakening.

And the number of smaller fissures extending from the great fissure was also decreasing.

At this point, how could they not understand that these lightning bolts must be the handiwork of the Dragon King? During the Forbidden Area Battle, the Dragon King had demonstrated its ability to harness lightning.

Even though they were a bit confused why this lightning reduced the power of the fissure, it did not stop them from being thrilled.

Ultimately, when the great fissure stopped just 10 meters away from the city wall of Yang City, Liu Zaoxin couldn’t help but marvel.

"The strength of the Dragon King is becoming truly terrifying," he said involuntarily.

"Yeah! But it’s hard to know if this is a good thing or a bad thing," Bai Yinghui remarked, his feelings somewhat complex.

Though he had acknowledged the Dragon King from the bottom of his heart and didn’t mind considering it the Guardian God of Yang City,

his duty as a soldier also constantly reminded him that the current situation was inherently dangerous.

For in some respects, the lives of all 15 million people in Yang City were at the whim of the other party.

If relations broke down, they might be able to withstand the Animal Army of the Dragon Hall, but against the Dragon King itself, they likely couldn’t even defeat its Dense Fog Giant.

As for nuclear weapons?

The enemy had already demonstrated the ability to detonate missiles with lightning when they attacked Yang City Zoo, and now that they’ve become who knows how many times stronger, the threat is even less of a concern to them.

Liu Zaoxin’s smile slightly faded as he, too, could guess the other party’s worries. He patted Bai Yinghui on the shoulder and said, "You shouldn’t worry so much either, and not to demoralize you, but it’s useless to worry."

"Instead of being on guard, we might as well find ways to strengthen our cooperation with the Dragon Hall and make the two sides even more closely knit."

Bai Yinghui nodded but remained somewhat silent.

"Hey, I’m not depressed, so what’s got you down? The main reason we’re so passive is that among us humans, there are no truly top-level powerhouses."

"But in that regard, isn’t the country making every effort to train them? All we lack now is just time," Liu Zaoxin said.

Hearing this, Bai Yinghui took a deep breath and adjusted his attitude.

"You’re right, all we lack is time. I believe we’ll catch up sooner or later."

"The earthquake should be about to end, but we cannot let down our guard; there might still be aftershocks. Leave that to me to arrange. As for the Dragon King, are you going to thank him personally?" Bai Yinghui asked.

In terms of diplomacy, he definitely could not compare to Mayor Liu Zaoxin.

"Mm, sure! The Dragon King likes fame, right? We can make this incident into a publicity film or a movie, it would probably like that," Liu Zaoxin nodded and said.

In just a few words, the two of them had made arrangements for what was to come.

As for Ye Feng, who had just saved Yang City, he was currently gritting his teeth in pain.

If it weren’t for his strong spiritual power, Ye Feng even doubted he could pass out from the pain.

To Ye Feng, severing a tree root felt about the same as pulling out a strand of hair.

So, normally, when only a few tree roots were severed, he didn’t feel much.

But this time was different.

Every root had been torn nearly ten times, adding up to nearly 5,000 instances of pain, all within the span of a minute.

One can imagine what it would feel like for a normal person to have 5,000 strands of hair plucked out within a minute.

However, aside from the pain, the other damages weren’t significant. Mainly because the severed roots were regrowing at a pace of one thousand meters per minute with the aid of the Healing Ability.

So, it would only take a few minutes for him to fully recover.

Once the pain eases slightly, Ye Feng again elevated his view to gaze into the distance.

He quickly spotted two large fissures that had appeared within his field of vision.

To Ye Feng’s relief, these fissures were not heading towards Yang City but were spreading to other places instead.

But he was far from pleased, as with the inclusion of the large fissure in Yang City, three major cracks had appeared within his line of sight.

This meant it was not an isolated incident.

Even the frequency of these fissures might be frighteningly high.

So, how many such fissures might there be across Donghai Province, the nation, or even the entire world?

Thinking this, Ye Feng quickly used his spiritual power to make his phone float over and opened a web page, looking for any new intelligence.

But at this point, with the entire world still reeling from the earthquake, who would dare play with their phone?

Nevertheless, Ye Feng’s guess was not wrong.

Right now, countless large fissures were appearing and spreading across Earth’s surface, with nearly every city facing destruction from these crevices.

...

At this moment, anyone able to enter the Strange Space would see a sphere at the very center, representing the origin of the world, covered in dense cracks.

These fissures corresponded exactly with the large fissures appearing on Earth.

Additionally, this sphere was vibrating, but the frequency was slowing down, seemingly indicating that the Earth’s major earthquake was about to conclude.

But just then, a strange energy emerged and, quickly, a layer of blue light enveloped the sphere representing the world’s origin.
