Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 494 - 298 Cellular Level Transformation_2

Soon, the fiery red leaves fully integrated with his roots, but of course, this was only the first step.

Because what seemed like integration was just superficial; on the cellular level, they hadn’t fused together.

The next step was to guide the true integration.

Instantly, the operation of Ye Feng’s Divine Wood God Body underwent a change.

With the altered route of the cultivation technique, the nature of the Divine Wood Aura it transformed also changed.

If the Divine Wood Aura previously facilitated macroscopic integration with other plants,

then the current Divine Wood Aura enabled microscopic-level integration.

At this time, Ye Feng’s expression grew serious because what preceded was just a preparatory step, merely consuming a lot of Spiritual Energy, but not truly challenging.

But now it was different; now began the truly arduous part of cultivating the Divine Wood God Body.

At the microscopic level, the red leaves had been turned into a red liquid by the cultivation technique.

This red liquid was the essence of the red leaves.

What he needed to do now was to merge this essence into his cells, and such fusion was actually risky.

Under the control of Ye Feng’s spiritual power, streams of red essence surged toward a hundred cells he had selected.

With the help of the Divine Wood Aura, Ye Feng’s cells began to Devour the red essence.

"No, it’s too little." Ye Feng sensed it and immediately drew more red essence toward them.

As the amount of red essence increased, and with the help of the Divine Wood Aura, the cells finally responded and began to strengthen slowly.

"Very good, just like that," Ye Feng felt a bit surprised, as this was much easier than he had expected.

Of course, this had to do with his strong spiritual power; after all, his spiritual strength was hardly inferior to any Seventh Order Strongman adept in spiritual power.

If another Sixth Order Spiritual Strongman were here, they would be incapable of this delicate manipulation.

As for those not proficient in spiritual power, even at Seventh Order, they couldn’t achieve this either.

Ye Feng collected his thoughts and continued to use the red essence to strengthen the cells.

However, only a few seconds later, a violent fluctuation suddenly appeared on these cells.

The shape of the cells twisted continuously, and before Ye Feng could react, they burst one after another.

"Is this... an adverse reaction?" Ye Feng looked somewhat astonished.

Although he knew about such situations from the cultivation technique passed down from the stone slab,

this so-called adverse reaction was quite exaggerated!

Of course, Ye Feng wasn’t discouraged because, according to the information he had received, it was normal to fail hundreds of times at the beginning of cultivating the Divine Wood God Body.

Ye Feng wouldn’t be impacted by a single failure.

He immediately activated his Life Healing Ability, replenishing his spiritual power with Life Energy, and soon Ye Feng was spirited again.

This was the second challenge in cultivating the Divine Wood God Body, where cellular fusion demanded a significant drain on spiritual power.

If it were any other intelligent Spirit Plant practicing this technique, they would probably need at least half a day of rest after each attempt for their spiritual power to recover.

But for Ye Feng, these troubles were nonexistent.

He selected another hundred cells and started the fusion process anew.

This time Ye Feng’s spiritual power was even more focused, and soon the cells showed adverse reactions again.

But Ye Feng, prepared from earlier, instantly cut off the supply of red essence the moment the cells began to deform, instead infusing them with Divine Wood Aura.

The cells quickly stabilized, and Ye Feng started to supply the red essence to them again.

Yet, these adverse reactions weren’t a one-time occurrence; they happened almost every few seconds.

Sometimes the reaction wasn’t severe, leaving Ye Feng time to respond.

But at other times, they became incredibly unstable as soon as they appeared, leaving Ye Feng with no time to react before the cells just ruptured.

In the face of this, Ye Feng felt quite helpless and could only start the fusion process over.

But for the following three attempts, Ye Feng was thwarted by these extreme adverse reactions.

"It’s not working! Continuing like this, even if I try a hundred times, it would still be very difficult for these cells to complete their metamorphosis," Ye Feng said with a furrowed brow.

A severe adverse reaction occurred almost instantly, causing the cells to rupture and leaving him no time to react.

"Even if the Divine Wood God Body is difficult to cultivate, why is it so challenging? If it were this hard, no Spirit Plant would ever succeed in cultivation. Could it be that I’m trying the wrong approach?" Ye Feng murmured to himself, considering all the possibilities.

But the more he thought about it, the tighter his brows furrowed.

"It’s utterly impossible; it’s not a matter of reaction speed at all. Unless I could know in advance, otherwise, it’s all but impossible..."

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Right, to know in advance.

In fact, after several attempts, Ye Feng had started to develop a faint intuition about when an adverse reaction might occur.

The reason for this was that these cells were also a part of his body, especially when he focused all his attention on that area, his sensory perception became particularly sensitive.

With this realization, Ye Feng did not hesitate and tried again immediately.

This time, he paid more attention to that vague sense of intuition.

When the cells experienced the first adverse reaction, Ye Feng indeed had a vague feeling in his heart, and less than a second after he felt it, the cells indeed showed adverse reactions.

Of course, the first adverse reaction was not severe, allowing Ye Feng enough time to adjust.

The second and third adverse reactions followed, and Ye Feng’s intuition seemed to become sharper with each instance.

Finally, when the eighth adverse reaction occurred, one of those extreme reactions appeared again.

Ye Feng had a premonition and stopped the infusion of the red essence one step ahead of time.

He successfully prevented the cells from rupturing.

"I did it!" Overjoyed at having overcome this hurdle, Ye Feng couldn’t hide the delight on his face.

However, this delight did not last long, soon realizing that these extreme adverse reactions would not occur just once but many times.

If he failed to anticipate even one of them in time, it would lead to failure.

But Ye Feng was not discouraged, for he had found the way.

With Ye Feng’s continuous attempts, an hour had quickly passed.

This was already his tenth attempt at cell enhancement.

The red essence he had refined was running low, and he estimated that he could only try three more times.

If he still failed, he would have to buy those red leaves again and start his cultivation from scratch.

However, Ye Feng was not in a hurry, for with each attempt his ability to anticipate had grown stronger.

He had now managed to persist for a full four minutes, the longest duration among all his attempts.

And he had a feeling that this time, it might actually work.

Another minute went by, and Ye Feng anticipated five more adverse reactions in advance, each time making it through safely.

At last, when five minutes had passed, the hundred cells he had selected finally stopped devouring the red essence.

It was clear that the metamorphosis of these cells was complete. In Ye Feng’s perception, the strength of these hundred cells was a cut above the rest.

"Good, the most difficult step has finally been completed."

"Next is the final step, replacing all the cells in the body," Ye Feng whispered to himself before starting to practice the Divine Wood God Body technique as described in his inheritance.

An endless stream of Divine Wood Aura flowed into these cells, which, having undergone metamorphosis, became extremely active.

They began to devour the surrounding cells.

Under the watchful eye of Ye Feng’s spiritual power, a transformed cell engulfed another, instantly growing larger in size.

After obtaining sufficient nutrients, the transformed cell began to divide, quickly becoming two new cells that had completed their metamorphosis.

Then, these two new cells continued to devour other cells.

Devouring, growing, and dividing, the process repeated itself continuously.

With each division, the quantity of these cells doubled.

They were replacing Ye Feng’s original cells at an astonishingly rapid pace.
