Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 849 - 475: Stepping onto the Ancient Cosmic Path_2
Chapter 849: Chapter 475: Stepping onto the Ancient Cosmic Path_2
Even a Higher God who had surpassed the realm of others could not find their way out of the Ancient Cosmic Path after an entire week, hinting at just how perilous the path became in the later stages.
For this reason, after setting foot here, Ye Feng did not dare to waste a single moment.
Thump, thump, thump!
A surge of Rule Power poured into the Artifact Flowing Light Combat Boots beneath his feet, and instantly, he transformed into a streak of light, blazing forward at extreme speed.
Indeed, the footwear Ye Feng donned were Divine Artifacts as well!
These were his final preparations, for within the Heavenly Treasury, there were still ten Divine Artifacts remaining. How could Ye Feng undertake such perilous action without properly equipping himself?
Therefore, not only did he carry the Semi-eternal Artifact Hidden Sky Ship and the High-Order Artifact Void-Splitting Spear, but he also wore a pair of mid-tier Artifact Flowing Light Combat Boots that could enhance his speed.
Although these Flowing Light Combat Boots were only mid-tier Divine Artifacts, they possessed a capability that Ye Feng was particularly fond of – the ability to transform into a streak of light.
This not only tremendously increased his speed but, more importantly, while in the state of being a streak of light, his body would temporarily convert into an energy form, capable of nullifying physical attacks. Even the damage from energy attacks could be significantly weakened.
Ye Feng’s survival ability was thus enhanced once again. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
At this moment, Ye Feng could feel that under the condition of being a streak of light, the oppressive force bearing down on him had been reduced by more than half.
It also caused his velocity to greatly increase.
Of course, in addition to activating the Flowing Light Combat Boots, Ye Feng had also activated another artifact he wore, the Mysterious Iron Ice Armor.
This was a High-Order Divine Artifact, capable of effectively defending against physical and energy attacks, and it could even greatly weaken mental attacks and negative conditions.
Besides its incredible defensive power, when attacked, this artifact could convert a portion of the attack’s force into the Power of Ice to freeze the opponent.
Now that this Divine Artifact was activated, the overwhelming pressure from above was reduced to only about one-tenth or one-twentieth of its original force.
Combined with the separation by the Force of Space, the pressure that truly fell upon Ye Feng was almost nonexistent. Under these circumstances, Ye Feng’s speed suddenly increased even more.
In just one minute, Ye Feng had already covered nearly 10 kilometers.
Looking back at this moment, the immense figure of the World Tree Body had started to fade into a hazy outline.
"Does this space not only isolate spiritual power but also restrict vision?" Ye Feng furrowed his brow.
Otherwise, with his abilities, as long as there was nothing obstructing his view, he could easily see details hundreds of kilometers away.
But the pace at which he trod on did not pause, still rushing forward with incredible speed.
Several minutes later, Ye Feng’s steps finally slowed down slightly.
By this time, he had ventured 50 kilometers deep into the Ancient Cosmic Path.
It was at this moment that the oppressive force which was of Eighth Order intensity above his head abruptly escalated a level, reaching the Ninth Order.
To the present Ye Feng, this was naturally trivial, but one could imagine, had he waited until reaching the Tenth Order to come here, did that mean he would have had to bear the pressure of a True God Level then?
"This is just the beginning, yet the intensity is already so high; truly abnormal," Ye Feng couldn’t help but remark.
His footsteps paused only for a moment before he continued onward.
However, under such heavy pressure, Ye Feng inevitably had to slow down a bit.
Ye Feng also worried whether the oppressive force would continue to increase as he ventured deeper.
Yet, after 10 minutes, as he reached over a hundred kilometers deep and found the oppressive force unchanged, he let out a sigh of relief.
If this oppressive force kept increasing and ascended by two Big Realms in power, he truly wondered how others could possibly traverse this Ancient Cosmic Path aside from himself.
However, his good mood did not last long. After progressing a few tens of kilometers more and seeing the situation ahead, he was momentarily taken aback.
"Where’s the path? How can it just end?" Ye Feng tapped on the Hidden Sky Ship on his wristband and asked.
The somewhat helpless voice of Gu Ao Duo transmitted from within, "You must realize that the information I gave you is from three Eras ago. With such a passage of time, changes are bound to occur!"
"You should be thankful that the cosmic catastrophe won’t affect this deep into the Universe Boundary Wall, or there would be no path left at all."
Ye Feng was speechless for a moment before he asked, "So what do we do now?"
"According to the information, the Ancient Cosmic Path should be in your 1 o’clock direction, it’s just broken. Now you need to find a way to traverse it," said Gu Ao Duo, his voice also taking on a more serious tone.
Ye Feng looked far into the distance and noticed that, indeed, there seemed to be a path made of shattered stones about a dozen kilometers away.
But these dozen or so kilometers weren’t something that could easily be crossed.
After all, this was the Void Chaotic Layer, where normal flight was impossible. If you tried to fly forward, the next moment, the space distortion might move you to any random place—front, back, left, or right.
Of course, if that was the only problem, it wouldn’t be much of an issue for Ye Feng. He could just spend a bit more time to find the optimal route across.
The problem was, at any moment during this process, fissures leading to the Dead Silence Layer might appear.
If he were to get sucked into one, with Ye Feng’s current level of cultivation, death was almost certain.
Therefore, these dozen or so kilometers would be Ye Feng’s first major crisis since setting foot on the Ancient Cosmic Path.
But Ye Feng didn’t act immediately; instead, he surveyed his surroundings and soon his gaze fell on a tendril of lush green vine hanging in the void to his right, about a dozen meters thick and winding.
"Xiao Gu, if I step onto those Rule Manifestation objects, how dangerous would it be?" Ye Feng asked.
After all, he was only five kilometers away from that green vine.
And if he followed that vine, he could reach another floating iceberg, from which the closest point to the shattered stone path was only one kilometer away.
In other words, after transitioning through these two locations, the distance Ye Feng needed to cross through the Void Chaotic Layer could be reduced from a dozen or so kilometers to six kilometers.
"It’s hard to say, what kind of harm each Rule Manifestation object will cause is unknown."
"However, that green vine is definitely related to wood-type rules, and since you’ve mastered the Life Rule, it shouldn’t be a big problem."
"But that iceberg, being an ice-type rule object, would be hard to predict," Gu Ao Duo’s voice emanated from the armguard.
"But however dangerous it may be, it must be better than facing a void fissure, right?" Ye Feng said.
"That’s for certain. After all, no matter the type of Rule Manifestation object, they will cause harm according to your current level of cultivation. At least it won’t be certain death," Gu Ao Duo affirmed.
"All right!" Having made up his mind, Ye Feng moved to the spot closest to the green vine and sat down cross-legged.
Even though he had made his decision, it was not something he could act on immediately.
Because according to the information previously provided by Gu Ao Duo, even though the spatial cracks would appear randomly, they weren’t without pattern.
Generally, once a spatial crack appeared in a certain area, the probability of another one appearing within the next hour would significantly decrease.
Of course, this only meant a reduction, not absolute absence, but it was enough to lower the risk.
At that moment, Ye Feng was waiting for a spatial crack to appear again in the area. After it ended, he would cross over.
Of course, although this was a strategy, not everyone could bear it.
The reason is that one has to withstand pressure from a Big Realm higher at all times.
For Ye Feng it was still manageable, but if it were other Tenth Order strongmen who had to constantly endure pressure at the True God level, they would truly suffer.
This wasn’t just about whether the body could bear it, but also about the immense energy consumption.
But Ye Feng was already aware of this information and had naturally made ample preparations.
In his Space Bracelet, he had stored a massive amount of Spirit Fruit, containing a total of 10 billion points of Spiritual Energy.
It could be said he had taken all the Spirit Fruit that the World Tree Body had stored over the few months.
Even if Ye Feng had to consume 100 million points of Spiritual Energy a day, he could last for over three months.
