Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 852 - 477: The Secret of the Dead Silence Layer

Upon hearing Gu Ao Duo’s reminder, Ye Feng snapped out of his reverie.

He took a deep breath and temporarily set those thoughts aside.

No matter what secrets lay within the Dead Silence Layer, the most important thing now was to leave the Ancient Cosmic Path first.

If he really wanted to explore, he could do so at the exit of the Ancient Cosmic Path, and if something went wrong, he could leave immediately.

Whoosh!

Having cleared his mind, Ye Feng took a step and quickly flew towards the iceberg.

The distance between the vine and the iceberg was just 500 meters, seemingly reachable in the blink of an eye.

But this was the Void Chaotic Layer, and Ye Feng had flown only a few meters when he encountered a spatial node.

Then, just as before, Ye Feng used the Rule Orb to continuously probe and find the correct direction before rushing through.

It’s worth mentioning that in the Void Chaotic Layer, these spatial nodes and their connected spaces were constantly moving.

Even within a short minute, the direction of the connected spaces could change several times.

Therefore, once he had confirmed his bearings, Ye Feng had to cross these spatial nodes within a second, or else the direction might change.

With his previous experience, crossing these few hundred meters was now a breeze for Ye Feng.

Just a minute later, he had set foot on the surface of the iceberg.

The moment his feet touched it, Ye Feng instantly felt an extreme blast of cold sweeping over him.

In response to this situation, Ye Feng felt it was as expected.

Although the cold seemed terrifying, it was only at the Initial Stage of Eighth Order, and his Force of Space could block ninety percent of it.

With the protection of the Flowing Light Battle Boots and Mysterious Iron Ice Armor, Ye Feng no longer felt the cold.

He walked effortlessly toward the middle of the iceberg, where he could rejoin the gravel path.

However, after only a few steps, Ye Feng noticed something was amiss.

As he walked, the surrounding cold intensified and grew colder.

The cold, initially at the Early Stage of Eighth Order, had evidently begun to approach Middle Stage of Eighth Order after Ye Feng had advanced only a hundred meters.

This instantly made Ye Feng’s expression grow solemn.

His location was at least 5 kilometers from the gravel path, and if the intensity of the cold continued to increase at this rate, it would definitely reach a terrifying level.

"Let’s look around; I’m only at Eighth Order, and in theory, the most I should encounter is a Ninth Order Level crisis. Even if it’s extreme, facing a Tenth Order Level, I should be able to handle it," Ye Feng muttered to himself, quickening his pace.

As he progressed, the cold enveloping him intensified and grew stronger. After advancing another kilometer, it had reached the Ninth Order Level.

By this time, Ye Feng was feeling a chill in his body.

Of course, this level of cold was still within his body’s tolerance.

Nevertheless, Ye Feng remained cautious, activated the Life Rule, and immediately dispelled the cold that had invaded his body.

Ye Feng continued to advance, but he had only taken a few steps when he noticed something else was wrong.

"It shouldn’t be! Why do I still feel so cold?" Ye Feng frowned and checked his body.

He found nothing significantly wrong with his body, but he discovered that the cold was not only physically affecting him but was also targeting his Sea of Consciousness.

"Cold that includes a mental attack?" Ye Feng felt somewhat incredulous.

However, Ye Feng was not worried; with a thought, the Golden Crow residing in his Sea of Consciousness shone brightly.

Vast heat swept through his entire Sea of Consciousness, also eradicating the invading cold.

After that, no more accidents occurred, although the intensity of the cold kept increasing, but it ultimately remained at the Peak of the Ninth Order.

Like other Rule Manifestations, the damage it caused was only one Big Realm higher than that of the challenger.

Feeling this, Ye Feng also couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief internally. Although the cold attack was unexpected, it was still within the limits of the rules.

It wasn’t long before Ye Feng arrived at the section closest to the gravel path.

Then he silently waited.

This time his luck was quite good; in less than 5 minutes, a fissure in space appeared in the area.

Seeing this, Ye Feng shifted his position and moved toward the fissure closest to the iceberg.

The fissure was only about 30 meters from the iceberg, barely within Ye Feng’s perceptive range.

This time, Ye Feng observed even more intently, and not only did he perceive but also used the Force of Space to form Rule Lines that spread toward the fissure.

Originally, Ye Feng thought this attempt wouldn’t be very effective.

But to his surprise, he found that his Rule Force easily passed through the fissure without any obstacles and entered the Dead Silence Layer.

If that were all, it would have been one thing, but more importantly, he could sense the environment within the Dead Silence Layer more clearly through this Rule Line.

Countless insights into the Space Rule flooded his mind, increasing his perception efficiency more than tenfold compared to mere sensing.

At this moment, Ye Feng truly felt as if he were experiencing an epiphany during a moment of intense fluctuation in the rules.
