Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 482 - 293: Reaching the Summit, Grasping the Life Rule_2

Chapter 482: Chapter 293: Reaching the Summit, Grasping the Life Rule_2

But the final stretch of the journey couldn’t be traversed even by a Seventh Order Strongman.

"It would be best to force them to use their last resort and unleash the strength of an Eighth Order. That way, I won’t have to worry later on," Ye Feng hoped expectantly.

However, what happened next was a bit beyond his expectations.

Facing attacks from basic rules, those Eighth Order Strongmen took out various peculiar items or practiced secret techniques, even slicing off a piece of their own flesh.

Then they used these things as a medium to directly draw out the Rule Power and shield it on the surface of their bodies.

"Directly drawing out Rule Power, what are they doing?" Ye Feng wondered, somewhat puzzled.

Because once Rule Power emerged, it would be suppressed by the Power of Heaven and Earth.

In such a situation, the effect of directly using Rule Power was far less than if they used Rule Power to enhance their secret techniques.

But what happened next made Ye Feng’s eyes widen in disbelief.

The Rule Power attacking the Eighth Order Strongmen on the staircase had a far weaker effect than Ye Feng had imagined.

"What’s going on? Why is the power of these Rule Powers so weak, not even reaching the level of the Seventh Order!"

Ye Feng was full of question marks because he could see clearly that these Rule Powers, let alone attacking the defense-strong Giant Dragons or Lava Giants.

Even the Crowmen, Angels, and Icemen, could rather easily withstand these Rule Powers.

Although they did suffer some injuries, such injuries were nothing much. These Eighth Order Strongmen could easily recover from them.

Witnessing this, Ye Feng extended several roots down to the steps below to test the power of these Rule Powers.

But his roots were instantly shattered, clearly showing that the power of these Rule Powers had not been weakened.

Ye Feng frowned and looked downward, then as he watched, he quickly discovered the trick.

The first impact of Rule Power when it struck the Eighth Order Strongmen was resisted by the Rule Power they had released.

And just with that resistance, the power of the attacks seemed to be halved. freeweɓnøvel.com

"Is the Rule Power released by Eighth Order Strongmen that strong? No, it’s not that their released Rule Power is strong, the Rule Power they released should also be at the Seventh Order level."

"But why can it suppress these Rule Powers on the staircase?"

"Right, it’s about tiers. The Rule Powers on the staircase are just basic rules, whereas those released by the Eighth Order Strongmen must be Intermediate Rules, or even Higher Rules. Under such a tier suppression, the damage from the basic rules is directly weakened."

After deducing this, Ye Feng’s eyes sparkled instead of showing discouragement.

Because he thought of himself, about to comprehend the Supreme Rule!

If he could master the Supreme Rule, then wouldn’t he also be able to exert this level of overwhelming power when fighting others?

With this in mind, Ye Feng no longer paid attention to the Eighth Order Strongmen overcoming the challenge, but went to the Stele at the platform.

He stretched out a root to touch the Stele, and quickly his information was displayed.

Examinee: Ye Feng

Permission: First-Class Seed

Points: 1750

Seeing the number of points, Ye Feng nodded in satisfaction.

The majority of these points, of course, came from the 1000 points for finishing first.

Besides that, there were points awarded for each platform ascended. He had now reached the 100,000-meter platform, and together with the previous ones, he had gained a total of 550 points.

Finally, add on the 300 points rewarded for being a First-Class Seed, he had previously obtained a total of 1850 points.

Of course, 100 points had already been deducted after one session of Rule Comprehension.

Ye Feng looked at the points in his hand and, without any hesitation, immediately chose to exchange them for a Supreme Rule Comprehension.

A hundred points were instantly deducted, and Ye Feng rooted himself in place, entering a state of cultivation.

Soon, he entered that special state, as if he were in a vibrant forest teeming with the vitality of life.

An epiphany gradually surfaced in Ye Feng’s mind, as he seemed to catch a glimpse of the essence of life, nearly grasping that elusive thread.

But at that moment, his time for insight had run out.

To Ye Feng, it felt like only a few minutes had passed, but in reality, nearly half an hour had elapsed.

Therefore, when Ye Feng opened his eyes, those Eighth Order Strongmen had already reached the summit platform.

The rest of the Seventh Order Strongmen had also basically reached the 60,000 or even 70,000-meter platforms.

Of course, these Seventh Order Strongmen, knowing they had no chance of competing for the top 10, did not rush and advanced steadily at a slow pace.

Scanning the area, Ye Feng saw there was still plenty of time left, so he touched the stele again to exchange for another chance at comprehension and re-entered the state of cultivation.

As the interval between the two sessions was short, Ye Feng immediately latched onto that peculiar sensation upon entering.

He felt he was just a little bit away from understanding the essence of life.

He maintained this sensation until the time was up, but he still hadn’t grasped the essence of life.

"What’s going on? I felt so close, why can’t I fully comprehend it?" Ye Feng frowned and scanned his surroundings.

Some of the Seventh and Eighth Order Strongmen around him cast glances his way when they noticed he had awakened; their eyes held a hint of faint mockery.

Seeing those eyes, a flicker of anger rose in Ye Feng’s heart, but he quickly suppressed it.

After calming down, Ye Feng figured these people were mocking the fact that one couldn’t just comprehend the rules all at once.

Although this irked Ye Feng, it also indirectly confirmed that comprehending any rule was difficult; otherwise, these people wouldn’t have that schadenfreude look.

"But, when you think about it, each forbidden zone has no fewer than 100,000 Peak Sixth Order Creatures, yet there’s probably not even 10 that break through to the Seventh Order."

"The difficulty of understanding the rules is thus evident; I can’t be too hasty," the urgency in Ye Feng’s heart gradually dissipated.

However, seeing that there were already more than 30 strongmen on the summit platform, he suddenly thought of a question.

"How did these Seventh Order Strongmen get up here?" With that thought, he immediately looked downward.

To his astonishment, he discovered that the challenges faced by these Seventh Order Strongmen were nothing like his own.

After they passed the 90,000-meter platform, they didn’t face assaults from Rule Power. Instead, they continued to be tested by spatial fissures, only denser.

So, with a bit of caution and the apllication of sufficiently powerful secret techniques to enhance themselves, these Seventh Order Strongmen could navigate through this area without issues.

"Darn, they’re clearly going easy!" Ye Feng felt somewhat displeased.

Furthermore, he surmised that the tasks of the assessment appeared during their climb and that the difficulty was likely adjusted on the fly.

"So it seems that the Land of Inheritance is indeed controlled by intelligent beings."

With this revelation, Ye Feng put aside his dissatisfaction, knowing that if there were someone behind the scenes, he wouldn’t display his discontent.

And although the difficulty had been increased, the rewards were also enhanced. From this perspective, he had no grounds for dissatisfaction.

With a readjusted attitude, Ye Feng continued to exchange for more chances at comprehension.

With his mindset now far calmer and not rushed, he gained even more from his insights.

Soon, his fourth session of comprehension ended.

"I always felt like I was so close, yet there was still such a large gap," Ye Feng mused wistfully.

But his eyes shone brighter than ever because this time, he had finally seen the path ahead clearly.
