Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 478 - 292: Easy Comeback, the Final Challenge_1

When Ye Feng assumed his defensive stance, it naturally drew the attention of those strongmen from the forbidden areas.

Earlier, when Ye Feng faced the first onslaught of violent winds, numerous leaves and twigs had fallen, pleasing those Eighth Order Strongmen.

But at this moment, seeing Ye Feng use the roots for defense, they instantly realized that the show they were hoping to see was probably not going to happen.

Having witnessed Ye Feng in combat before, they were very clear that the strongest part of the giant tree was its root system.

At this time, the Lava Giant Ulos and the Dragon Strongman Emrey exchanged glances upon seeing Ye Feng’s action.

It should be noted that among so many Eighth Order Strongmen in the field, only the two of them dared to withstand such winds with their strong bodies.

And now, Ye Feng had just erected roots without releasing that kind of special force composed of the Power of Faith.

"Ulos, do you think he can really resist with his body alone?" the Dragon Strongman Emrey asked through spiritual communication.

Even for Emrey, enduring such wind attacks was tough, as the dragon scales on its body were constantly cracking. It could only withstand the assault by relying on its body’s extraordinarily fast Restoration Ability.

"I don’t know. Our Realms may be suppressed to the Sixth Order, but our physical quality has nearly reached the Seventh Order threshold."

"If he can do it too, then it would be terrifying. Even if we were to recover to the Eighth Order, it would be difficult to quickly kill him," said Ulos through spiritual communication, a hint of caution in his tone.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, over a hundred Wind Blades composed of violent winds swept directly towards Ye Feng.

At that moment, Ye Feng’s spiritual power enveloped the surrounding void, and as soon as those Wind Blades formed, he captured their movement.

To protect his main body, out of the 500 tree roots, Ye Feng only deployed 100 to meet the Wind Blades, and they completely withstood the onslaught.

In the process, Ye Feng’s roots naturally got sliced, but the violent winds could only cut half a meter deep into the roots at most.

For roots that were already two meters thick, this was nothing significant; Ye Feng didn’t even need to use Life Healing, as the roots’ inherent Restoration Ability was sufficient for a rapid recovery.

With the roots defending against the Wind Blades, Ye Feng’s speed surged once more as he rapidly pursued the Eighth Order Strongmen below.

The scene of Ye Feng defending against the Wind Blades was also seen very clearly by the Eighth Order Strongmen above. The look they exchanged revealed the caution in their eyes. novelbuddy.cσ๓

Considering Ye Feng’s massive main body, a few wounds in the roots were nothing to worry about—let alone a few meters being sliced off.

Moreover, judging by the progress of those ahead, Ye Feng’s resistance to the Wind Blades was even more flexible and resilient than theirs.

The people were quickly communicating and judging Ye Feng’s strength.

Soon, they came to a conclusion: Ye Feng’s root defense had reached the threshold of the Seventh Order.

With such a degree of physical strength, even if they possessed some special techniques, it would be difficult to cause severe injury to Ye Feng, let alone kill him.

Since they couldn’t kill Ye Feng, these Eighth Order Strongmen didn’t harbor any mischievous thoughts and instead each unleashed their secret techniques, once again boosting their forward speed to outright snatch the first place.

"Everybody has secret techniques except for me. Competing with them for opportunities is just f***ing unfair," Ye Feng complained inwardly.

Of course, despite the complaints, he still had to do what needed to be done.

Once he had accumulated enough points to exchange for a Divine Artifact, he too would acquire several powerful secret techniques.

As these Eighth Order Strongmen exerted their strength, it was impossible for Ye Feng to catch up with them in a short time.

However, with nearly half the distance remaining, Ye Feng wasn’t in a hurry.

He believed that the real challenge was still ahead.

Besides, even the erupting secret techniques of these Eighth Order Strongmen couldn’t completely shake off Ye Feng.

Five minutes later, the Eighth Order Strongmen reached the 60,000-meter plateau.

Then, without any stop, they headed straight for the 70,000-meter plateau to continue their ascent.

Ye Feng originally thought that it was impossible to catch up with them in a short time, but after these Eighth Order Strongmen left the 70,000-meter plateau, they suddenly slowed down.

"Huh! Are they dodging?" Ye Feng found it somewhat unbelievable.

These Eighth Order Strongmen, who had been charging straightforwardly up the stairs, were now jumping from one stair to the next.

Sometimes, they would even leave the stairs altogether and climb directly up the steep rock face.

This continual dodging and weaving undoubtedly greatly slowed their progress.

Yet even so, these Eighth Order Strongmen couldn’t entirely avoid all dangers.

Above them, terrifying energy fluctuations were transmitted from time to time.

When Ye Feng looked up again, he saw the Lava Giant Ulos throw a punch.

Though only at the Sixth Order Peak, his punch, empowered by a secret technique, reached the strength level of the Seventh Order.

Boom!

The location hit by his fist immediately burst with a terrifying energy fluctuation.

The stairs under the Lava Giant’s feet and even the surrounding mountain walls began to crack extensively.

This was because Rule Mountain was far more durable than ordinary alloy steel materials.
