Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 458 - 284 Unrivaled in the Same Tier!_1

At the moment the Dragon King took action, all the human strongmen in the field couldn’t help but stop fighting and gathered together.

Because it was clear to everyone that whether the Dragon King could withstand the opposing Seventh Order Strongman was the most crucial part of the entire battle.

If the Dragon King could hold, then the battle was almost certainly won.

But if he could not, defeat was destined.

In fact, many had already decided that if the Dragon King was defeated, they would need to retreat immediately.

Although they also craved the opportunities within Rule Mountain, their lives were more important.

At this time, as the Dragon King advanced, the hundreds of Dense Fog Giants they passed were shredded upon entering the second defense line’s Forbidden Area Creatures.

Seeing this scene, not only the Dragon Hall side reacted, but the allied forces composed of various Forbidden Areas also tacitly slowed their offensive.

After all, these Forbidden Area Creatures possessed no small intelligence; they naturally understood that at this point, they could not decide the direction of the battlefield.

Thus, the ground troops only lingered for a while in front of the first defense line and did not rush towards the second line through the breach.

As for the giant dragons, Crowmen, and angels in the sky, they directly raised their altitude, at most using long-range attacks to deplete their foes a bit.

If it wasn’t for the lack of orders, they would have already retreated.

Soon Ye Feng arrived in front of the first defense line. Seeing this, the Biological Army from the Forbidden Area directly avoided the direction he was in.

"Tsk! I didn’t expect my deterrence to be this powerful. If I had come out earlier, would they have already retreated?" Ye Feng joked to himself.

However, this situation was indeed favorable for him, because as the Forbidden Area Army’s offensive slowed, the pressure on Dragon Hall greatly decreased.

He could then cancel his Attribute Transfer Ability and face these Seventh Order foes in his prime condition.

"Do you think the Dragon King can hold them off?" Fang Ziyuan asked this while looking at the crowd, but his gaze was fixed on Chen Dalong.

At this, Bai Junheng, Wu Yuqin, and others also involuntarily turned their eyes in that direction.

After all, Chen Dalong, the strongman from Yang City, was the one who knew the Dragon King the best.

At this time, Chen Dalong’s expression was equally serious.

Although he knew a lot of inside information, he was also unsure.

So after a brief moment of contemplation, he spoke more objectively, "The last time the Dragon King took action against a Seventh Order Strongman, it was only the third Spiritual Energy Resurgence. The strength the Dragon King was able to unleash was only equivalent to a Fifth Order Peak, a full two Big Realms below the Seventh Order."

"Now at the Sixth Order Peak, the gap with the Seventh Order is only one Big Realm."

"So, if only one or even two Seventh Order Strongmen were to come, I don’t feel it would be difficult to handle, but now that eight have come at once, I’m not clear on it."

"But one thing we must not forget is that the Dragon King does not need to defeat them. Although those Seventh Order Strongmen have methods to recover their strength, their time is incredibly short, at most only 10 minutes."

"As long as the Dragon King survives this time, it’s a victory."

After listening to Chen Dalong’s well-reasoned analysis, the uneasy emotions in everyone’s hearts were slightly eased.

Especially Bai Junheng, Wu Yuqin, and Fang Ziyuan, those who had reached the Sixth Order Peak, could all sense that suppression from Heaven and Earth.

They naturally understood the truth in Chen Dalong’s words.

If the Dragon King only needed to delay the enemies rather than defeat them, their confidence suddenly increased significantly.

Elsewhere, the group of Seventh Order Strongmen rushing over were surprised to see the giant tree advancing towards them.

"Hehe! Seeing us coming, it actually dares to face us head-on, truly ignorant of life and death!" sneered the Angel Strongman.

"Isn’t that better? We’ll just deal with its real body directly, and then there’ll be nothing left to worry about," the Crowman Strongman also sneered.

"Wait and buff me, I’ll go over and burn it," declared the Lava Giant in the lead, his face full of fighting spirit.

The rest voiced their agreement, feeling that this mission was easier than they had anticipated.

After all, dealing with one enemy was much easier than dealing with over five hundred.

As for losing?

They hadn’t really thought about that possibility at all.

They were Seventh Order Strongmen. Even though their Realm was suppressed to Sixth Order Peak, who didn’t have one or two secret techniques up their sleeve, dealing with Sixth Order beings of this era was still a breeze.

Furthermore, it might be possible to overturn in a ditch if only one or two of them went over.

But now it was a full eight of them together, and no one thought there would be a problem.

Of course, Ling was the only one with a different opinion. While everyone was excitedly discussing, he unconsciously slowed down and fell to the back of the group.

Only he, who had personally fought with Ye Feng, knew just how difficult this giant tree could be.

Back then, even when his opponent was only at the Fifth Order, fighting him didn’t yield much advantage, and he even suffered losses at the start of their skirmish.

And now that his opponent had reached Sixth Order Peak, with even greater strength...

With this thought, he started to feel apprehensive, sensing that big trouble was coming.
