Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 855 - 478: Space Rule, Breakthrough Again!_2

Ye Feng felt somewhat unwilling, but observing the void ahead that remained empty, he understood that it was not the time to act on impulse. He took a deep breath and started to quickly retrace his steps.

After another 15 minutes, Ye Feng stepped back onto the gravel path, but his complexion looked rather grim.

By now, he could confirm that within 45 kilometers ahead, there surprisingly wasn’t a single Rule Manifestation object in existence.

Now it could be determined with absolute certainty that this situation was definitely abnormal.

"Xiao Gu, what’s your take on this matter?" Ye Feng asked in a grave voice.

At this moment, Gu Ao Duo, who no longer cared about titles, spoke with a distinctly serious tone, "I don’t know either. Based on the information I have, such a situation should not occur."

"Especially since this is the end of the Ancient Cosmic Path. Under normal circumstances, the Rule Manifestation objects here should be more numerous and even more dangerous."

Ye Feng remained silent, and Gu Ao Duo fell silent as well for a moment.

A short while later, Ye Feng turned his gaze to his right hand side, where he could see a lake within the expanse of the void.

"Since this path is impassable, let’s try another route. Although the dangers are unknown, if we keep moving forward, we should be able to leave this part of the universe after reaching the end, right?" Ye Feng asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, theoretically, one can exit from any direction. It’s just that the Ancient Cosmic Path is the safest," Gu Ao Duo immediately responded.

"Alright, then let’s look for a way out in some other direction." Ye Feng nodded, then gazed toward the nearby lake, waiting in silence.

Once the spatial fissure appeared, he swiftly headed towards the opposite lake.

This sort of thing Ye Feng had already become well-accustomed to, so naturally, it wasn’t difficult.

However, when Ye Feng reached the lake, the originally calm surface suddenly churned with huge waves that continuously struck at Ye Feng, each wave as heavy as a mountain.

Fortunately, the frequency of these wave attacks wasn’t too high, and their speed was only at the Ninth Order, so Ye Feng could keep dodging them.

And during this process, he waited for the appearance of a spatial fissure.

In this way, Ye Feng moved laterally through the Rule Manifestation objects.

After 5 hours, he had moved laterally for nearly 200 kilometers, finally stopping on a meteorite.

At this time, Ye Feng’s frown deepened because after moving laterally for 200 kilometers, there still wasn’t a single Rule Manifestation object in front of them.

Gu Ao Duo spoke, "The problem is more serious than we imagined. This isn’t an issue in just a small area; the affected range must be extensive."

"If it’s on the scale of thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers, then we are in trouble. With the speed at which we are moving now, we simply don’t have much time to waste."

Ye Feng remained silent. It wasn’t that his moving speed was slow, but for the sake of safety, every time he crossed these Rule Manifestation objects, he had to wait for the spatial fissure to vanish before he could act.

It was for this reason that it took a full 5 hours to cover a distance of 200 kilometers, with the majority of the time spent waiting.

A moment later, Ye Feng said, "Keep moving forward. We’ve only been at it for a little over a day; we still have time."

Gu Ao Duo said, "I naturally support the continued exploration, but you must control the time well."

"If we really can’t find a way out, you must return to the Ancient Cosmic Path here on the sixth day, to ensure you can safely get out within seven days."

The reason they could cross such a long distance within the Void Chaotic Layer in just one day was mainly due to the existence of the Ancient Cosmic Path.

Only on it could they proceed at high speed; elsewhere, progression could only be as slow as Ye Feng’s current pace.

Even if it weren’t for Ye Feng’s formidable strength, able to fight across orders with ease, it wouldn’t just be a matter of slow progression, but a likely fatal risk.

"Don’t worry, I won’t joke with my life. I’ll only search for three days at most. If I still can’t find a way out, I will immediately return," Ye Feng said.

In fact, Ye Feng would not pin his hopes on such nebulous chances.

In the meantime, he never stopped exploring the Dead Silence Layer.

He was getting closer and closer to his bottleneck.

Ye Feng had an intuition that if he could break through the bottleneck and take the Space Rule to a higher level, it might bring tremendous benefits to his current situation.

After making his decision, Ye Feng continued on his journey.

Gu Ao Duo quickly noticed that Ye Feng’s traveling speed had slowed down.

Especially after spatial fissures disappeared, Ye Feng wouldn’t immediately set off as before but would instead sit in place and quietly contemplate for a few minutes.

Gu Ao Duo wasn’t foolish and soon understood Ye Feng’s intentions, and a sense of anticipation suddenly arose in its heart.

It is known that the Space Rule is a Supreme Rule, and here in the Void Chaotic Layer, it had already shown its extraordinary aspects.

If Ye Feng could advance even further to a realm not even recorded in legend, it might become the critical point for breaking the situation.

At the very least, increasing the speed of progress through the Void Chaotic Layer would also be a great achievement.

Thus, Ye Feng continued to move forward methodically, and before long, another three hours had passed.

By this time, Ye Feng had arrived at a place that resembled a grassy field, which was a Rule Manifestation.

The way this grassy field attacked was somewhat peculiar; the grass here would directly absorb the life energy of other beings.

For other powerful entities, this might prove deadly, but for Ye Feng, it posed no threat at all.

"This place is quite good; it can serve as a resting spot for now," said Ye Feng softly after sensing the environment, before he sat down cross-legged on the grassy field.

Because not long before, Ye Feng had realized that his perception had reached its upper limit and a breakthrough could happen at any moment.

However, this bottleneck was not so simple, and breaking through required time; hence, he needed to find a relatively safe place.

Of course, compared to his human self, the World Tree Body was the real main force. With time accelerated, it was rapidly making deductions.

As for his human self, he did not completely enter into a state of cultivation but kept observing the void around him.

If a spatial fissure appeared near the grassy field, he would be the first to rush over for insight, adding weight to the chances of breaking through the bottleneck.

Time continued to move on.

In the next hour, three spatial fissures appeared around the grassy field, and Ye Feng hurried to each one immediately for insight.

After the third insight, Ye Feng finally felt the bottleneck start to loosen.

He instantly sat down cross-legged, with both of his existences working together to break through the bottleneck.

Despite the process being difficult, Ye Feng’s talent, combined with the concerted effort of his dual selves and the state of time acceleration, made the process extremely swift.

In just half an hour, Ye Feng successfully shattered the elusive bottleneck.

At that moment, Ye Feng’s understanding of the Space Rule entered an entirely new realm.

Ye Feng opened his palm, and strands of the Force of Space were released from his hand, merging into the space around him.

Ye Feng could clearly feel that his perception of this space had ascended to another level.

Most importantly, he suddenly had a faint sense of the Dead Silence Layer, which lay enshrouded in mystery.

This was absolutely an incredible feat; after all, even those Higher Gods who had mastered the Space System Rule would definitely not be able to do this.

But Ye Feng did it, although the perception wasn’t very clear, he could still detect if there were any intense fluctuations within the Dead Silence Layer.

Just like now, Ye Feng’s gaze suddenly turned toward the three o’clock direction.

"Three, two, one."

As his words fell, a spatial fissure suddenly appeared there.
