Chapter 514: Chapter 307: Competing for the Divine Artifact, Each Employing Their Own Tactics_2

The opponent, not having attacked him like the others, set off early and has now delved deeply into the 230 kilometers, surpassing the rest by a significant stretch.

Ye Feng didn’t find this strange; the opponent surely had a secret treasure too, and after understanding the rules of the Universe Boundary Wall, knew that further in, his Realm would no longer be suppressed, probably realizing it early on.

In such a situation, an Eighth Order Strongman traveling at full speed would be incredibly fast.

And, surprisingly, the one ranked second was... Kana Dal.

This caused a strange expression to appear on Ye Feng’s face.

However, he quickly came to terms with it.

Because when he was chasing the opponent, Kana Dal had been burning his Origin Power to escape, so being a little faster than the other Eighth Order Strongmen was to be expected.

It was also for this reason that he had, unconsciously, taken the third position.

In hindsight, he had benefited from Kana Dal’s distraction as well; with such a shield drawing fire at the front, there were fewer Rule Powers attacking him, making his own progress smoother.

"Good, with the current progress, the chances of obtaining a Divine Artifact are still very high," said Ye Feng, with a slight smile on his face.

Of course, he was not complacent, as the current situation was only temporarily in his favor.

But he didn’t know how long this advantage would last, considering that the other Eighth Order Strongmen also had Life Origins.

When it came down to a desperate fight, Ye Feng didn’t believe they wouldn’t burn theirs either.

With this in mind, Ye Feng’s smile faded; he couldn’t let his guard down before obtaining the Divine Artifact.

Although he couldn’t explode in strength by burning his Life Origin, he still had a unique advantage.

It was his lower Realm.

Because of his lower Realm, there were fewer Rule Powers attacking him, so he faced much less resistance.

"But my speed is still a bit slow; I need to speed up," he thought.

Ye Feng sensed his Sea of Consciousness.

After the battle had ended, his spiritual power was only around seventy percent.

However, with the aid of his Life Healing Ability, it had restored to approximately eighty percent in a short time.

Feeling that his spiritual power was not an issue, he didn’t hesitate to exert the Soul Burning Art again.

A vast surge of spiritual power flooded out, augmenting his body to assist with flying, instantly increasing his speed by a large margin.

"Now, my flying speed shouldn’t be much slower than those Eighth Order Strongmen, and with fewer Rule Powers attacking me, the advantage is still significant," Ye Feng whispered to himself.

In the blink of an eye, he had plunged into the Universe Boundary Wall by 100 kilometers.

After reaching this point, Ye Feng’s body shook, and his form grew once again, fully returning to its original state.

But Ye Feng’s expression grew even more solemn as he looked at the terrifyingly powerful Rule Powers nearby.

"Only 100 kilometers in, and the power of the Rule Powers has already reached the Initial Stage of the Eighth Order—how terrifying will it get if I go further in?"

"And what depth does Gu Ao Duo mean when he says to reach the depths of the Universe Boundary Wall? How deep is deep enough, and can I reach it?" Ye Feng couldn’t help muttering to himself.

With his current strength, reaching this depth of 100 kilometers was already at his limit.

Of course, by ’limit’ here, he meant the limit of how long he could stay, measured in years.

If he ventured further in, even if his body could endure it, the stored Spiritual Energy would not last for long.

But overthinking such matters was useless, so Ye Feng shook his head and sped up to go deeper again.

At that moment, a fiery red Rule Power locked onto him and flew straight towards him.

Ye Feng hastily extended a root to meet the onslaught.

Boom!

In the chaotic space, a sun-like fiery ball exploded dramatically.

At that moment, Ye Feng’s expression shifted slightly.

The root he had extended was instantly obliterated for kilometers, yet the consumption of that Fire Element Rule Power was not even one-tenth.

"The gap between the Seventh and Eighth Order really is huge," murmured Ye Feng, as his other roots moved forward to face the attack.

The Fire Rule Power blasted through twenty-three of Ye Feng’s roots before its energy was completely exhausted.

Moreover, the roots Ye Feng lost ranged from a short one to two thousand kilometers to some that were affected to an extent of three to four thousand kilometers.

Overall, the damage caused to Ye Feng had at least increased by twenty to thirty times.

"Thank goodness, only one-tenth of the Rule Power attacks me," Ye Feng felt somewhat relieved.

But even so, moving forward was incredibly difficult for him.

The sounds of explosions continuously echoed through this space.

Even though Ye Feng only encountered attacks from one-tenth of the Rule Power, the actual number of attacks was by no means small.

After all, as he delved deeper into the Universe Boundary Wall, the Rule Power here could be said to be dense and numerous.

Now, Ye Feng was basically encountering an attack from the Rule Power every 100 meters he advanced, and with his movement speed, usually before the first attack ended, the second would already be upon him.

Facing this Eighth Order Rule Power, although Ye Feng didn’t go all out, he dared not be the slightest bit careless.

Especially when facing Rule Powers of the Thunder, Fire, and Gold Elements, he had to be extra cautious as they would cause even greater damage.

This caused Ye Feng’s speed to be unable to increase as he would have liked.

After advancing another 10 kilometers, Ye Feng took out the Metal Token to glance at the leaderboard.

His expression became slightly serious.

Originally, he thought that as long as he could withstand the attacks from these Eighth Order Rule Powers,

he should have a great advantage considering the lower Realm and fewer attacks he faced according to the rules.

But now, he realized there was no difference between himself and the other Eighth Order Strongmen.

Although he was still in third place, the problem was that even the farthest behind of these Eighth Order Strongmen was less than 10 kilometers away from him.

This so-called advantage was not really an advantage at all.

If the others burned their Life Origin, they could probably catch up quickly.

Besides, he had another disadvantage: his previously accumulated points were down to the last twenty.

But it was different for the other Eighth Order Strongmen; if they included the points from reaching the peak and the rewards for being among the first few, they could reach over a thousand points.

That is to say, he needed to reach 998 kilometers to accumulate 10,000 points to exchange for a Divine Artifact.

However, those holding over a thousand points could amass that number of points by reaching only 900 kilometers or even just over 800 kilometers.

"No, if I continue like this, I’ll probably miss out on those five Divine Artifacts," Ye Feng felt anxious, desperately pondering if there was any way to burst forth with increased speed.

While Ye Feng was looking at the Metal Token, the rest of the Eighth Order Strongmen were essentially doing the same.

At the moment, Kana Dal gazed at his name in the second position on the metal panel, but his face lacked any smile because he knew exactly how he got to that position.

Only one third of his Life Origin remained inside him.

Even compared to the already battle-worn Lava Giant and the Iceman Warrior, he was significantly more diminished.

"However, I still have a Shard of Light. I could use it to stimulate my potential. There’s chance, but the cost is too great. I’m even certain it would cause my Realm to drop."

"But as long as I can get the Divine Artifact, it’s worth it," he murmured to himself.

Then, as his gaze moved down the list, and he saw Ye Feng’s name in third place, the rage in his heart flared up again.

"Damn it! It’s bad enough he’s so resilient, but why can he still maintain such speed?"

"If he gets one of the Divine Artifacts... That’s impossible. Surely the others aren’t that incompetent."

Kana Dal put away the Token, and as he wielded the Sword of Light in his hand, he cut through the incoming Rule Powers, increasing his speed by a slight margin.

Not just him, but the Dragon Strongman Emre, Crowman Kluro, Lava Giant Ulos, Iceman Warrior Kris, beastly Strongman Youming, Naga Mort, and Tentacle Monster Russell.

All of them held a Token, silently calculating their own and others’ rankings and points, and considering what trump cards they might have to turn the tides.

But no matter who it was, as they looked at the rankings, Ye Feng’s name seemed to glare back at them.
