Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 468 - 287: The War Ends, Troops Withdraw from the Forbidden Zone_2

Chapter 468: Chapter 287: The War Ends, Troops Withdraw from the Forbidden Zone_2

Soon, the Crowman Strongman’s Formation was ready, and as he injected Rule Power into it, a dense Power of Death emerged on Ye Feng’s tree trunk, continuously destroying his vitality.

Feeling the destructive power of this Power of Death on his body, Ye Feng couldn’t help but smack his lips.

If it were someone else, even a Seventh Order Strongman, under the envelopment of such dense Power of Death, they would probably not survive more than ten minutes.

However, for him, it was of no concern. At that moment, he was utilizing the Life Healing ability, ceaselessly generating Life Energy to counteract the Power of Death that had emerged on the tree trunk.

But undeniably, this Power of Death was indeed bothersome.

Ye Feng needed to expend at least 1,000,000 points of Spiritual Energy every minute to condense Life Energy and completely neutralize it.

If he hadn’t absorbed massive amounts of Power of Faith at the Array Eye before, he would probably have found this rather troubling.

As for now, according to Ye Feng’s estimation, the enemy would be forced out of the Seventh Order state in another five to six minutes; to him, the consumption of a few hundred points of Spiritual Energy was mere drizzle.

What followed was a continuous mutual depletion.

Watching the Power of Death that kept emerging on the tree trunk, Ye Feng suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

"Hey! That’s not right, I don’t have to stubbornly clash with this force! Maybe I could try to harness the Power of Death for my own use."

No sooner had he thought of this than Ye Feng immediately stimulated the ability of the Evolution Fruit, attempting to absorb the Power of Death into it.

"It actually works!"

Ye Feng looked at the pitch-black Evolution Fruit on the tree trunk and couldn’t help feeling a bit thrilled.

Because this wasn’t just about reducing the consumption of Spiritual Energy,—the effects produced by this Power of Death were much more potent than ordinary Rule Power.

If he could utilize it, it would be another ace up his sleeve.

"However, I can’t control this thing with my spiritual power directly; and even if I could, any part of my body that this Power of Death passes through would be harmed, it’s like losing eight hundred of our own men to kill a thousand enemies," Ye Feng said with a slight frown.

But his frown quickly smoothed out, as he thought of another way to use it.

"I don’t have to fixate on using my roots to release this Power of Death."

"I could simply treat this Evolution Fruit like a hand grenade and throw it, or wrap it with my roots and send it directly to the enemies to detonate."

With this thought, a radiant smile spread across Ye Feng’s face.

Although he turned the Power of Death into something beneficial, it didn’t mean that he had forgotten his grudges.

Ye Feng then retracted a batch of roots back underground while extending them towards that group of Seventh Order Strongmen.

Once their Realms were suppressed back to the Sixth Order and if these individuals didn’t leave in time, he would rise ferociously and make sure none could escape.

Time passed by every second in this stalemate.

Nearly five minutes had elapsed quickly.

"What’s going on? It’s been so long; why hasn’t that giant tree reacted at all? Is your Formation reliable?" the Lava Giant questioned the Crowman with evident irritation.

"How would I know what’s happening? The opponent is just a Sixth Order giant tree and yet capable of doing outrageous things like killing a Seventh Order Strongman. Isn’t it strange that it can withstand my Power of Death?"

"As for whether my Formation is reliable or not, would you like to try it yourself?" the Crowman retorted, full of displeasure.

The Lava Giant immediately became furious and wanted to punch the Crowman, but the others quickly intervened to calm him down.

Not only were they impatient, but even the Eighth Order Strongmen observing from a distance were equally irritated.

"Can anyone tell what method that giant tree is using to resist the Power of Death?" Ulos, the Lava Giant, could not help but ask.

As he spoke, his gaze inevitably shifted toward Ke Le Luo, the Crowman Eighth Order Strongman.

The gazes of the others also moved instinctively in that direction.

After all, it was their side that launched the Formation attack, so Ke Le Luo, the leader of the Crowmen, should be the clearest on what was happening.

However, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ke Le Luo merely shook his head slightly.

"To be honest, I didn’t understand what happened. What Wiki had deployed was the Death Curse Matrix, not to mention against Sixth and Seventh Order Strongmen, even an Eighth Order Strongman would suffer noticeable damage if they withstood it for 5 minutes."

"But this giant tree showed no reaction at all, which I really can’t figure out."

Hearing such an answer, the Eighth Order Strongmen present fell into a bout of silence.

"Gentlemen, since the people we sent out couldn’t take down that giant tree, what should we do next? Should we take action personally?" the Lava Giant Ulos asked again, raising a crucial question.

Immediately, the atmosphere in the room once again sank into silence.

It was clear to everyone that, given the monstrous nature of the tree before them, entering Rule Mountain would likely yield great benefits, and if the opponent’s strength were to increase further, it would be even harder to deal with in the future.

Therefore, if it was possible, they naturally wanted to kill the giant tree before them.

However, if the price to be paid required them to take action themselves, unleashing Eighth Order Combat Power, that would be another matter.

After all, they only had one opportunity to unleash the strength of the Eighth Order. If they acted now, what would they do later when competing for opportunities?

Moreover, if they used up their only chance, their team would probably not be easy to lead.

Keep in mind, among their teams, there were still other Seventh Order Strongmen.

If they couldn’t unleash the power of the Eighth Order, those people might not listen to them at critical moments.

After all, in the face of sufficient benefits, many things become trivial.

Even excluding those Seventh Order Strongmen, if they themselves managed to gain enough from the Ancient Ruins, even they couldn’t guarantee they wouldn’t betray the group.

Who would be content to always be subordinate to others?

Moreover, now that the Spiritual Energy Resurgence had reached a certain level, even if one waited outside, where recovery was slower, it was still an acceptable option.

It was because of all these concerns that the people present found themselves silent.

At this moment, the Iceman Warrior Kris, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, "Let’s not forget, it’s not just us here, there’s also the Ancient Human Tribe."

"They have not participated all this while, and if we take action ourselves, they will become the biggest beneficiaries."

Hearing Kris’s words, everyone seemed to have found an excuse.

"Indeed, the attitude they have shown is quite unsettling. And we should not forget our most important mission for the sake of a giant tree. If it’s not feasible, let’s just let it go for now!" the Dragon Strongman Emre also stated.

Subsequently, everyone nodded in agreement, with only the Angel Strongman Kaledar still looking unhappy.

Because among them, only his side had lost a Seventh Order Strongman.

At this moment, the Crowman Strongman Ke Le Luo glanced at him and said, "We’re just not taking action now, that doesn’t mean we won’t do so at the final competition for the legacy."

"How about we make a pact, that even if we need to unleash Eighth Order strength to compete for opportunities, we first clear out the other riff-raff. So that the final benefits are not picked up by others."

"Good! I agree."

"I also agree."

Suddenly, everyone echoed the sentiment.

And while they were making their decision on this side, the battle had also come to a near end.

It was mainly because the Special Energy inside those Seventh Order Strongmen that could hide their presence was dissipating rapidly. It was estimated that in less than a minute, they would be suppressed back to Sixth Order by this Heaven and Earth.

Knowing that there was no chance of success, the Seventh Order Strongmen stopped resisting and finally started to retreat.

Seeing this, the human strongmen hidden among the Animal Army let out deafening cheers, as everyone knew, this battle was over, and more importantly, they had won.

However, Ye Feng looked at the rapidly departing group of Seventh Order Strongmen with some regret; he had missed the chance to capture them all in one fell swoop!
