Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 884 - 493: Disturbing the Big Shots

Following that person’s reminder, many people woke up to reality and immediately went over to check the rankings.

The leaderboard only recorded the challengers from the 5th Preliminary Tower.

Even so, making it onto the leaderboard was not an easy feat; even those in the last 100 ranks had reached the 31st floor.

Of course, the strength of those on the leaderboard was fairly similar since the first place had only reached the 35th floor.

Moreover, three people had reached the 35th floor, and naturally, there were even more at the lower floors.

For example, from 70th to 100th place, everyone was on the 31st floor. If the later rankings were listed, there would likely be even more people who had surpassed the 31st floor.

Of course, since they were all on the same floor, their rankings were determined by the time it took them to clear the floor.

The quicker the clearance time, the higher the ranking.

Ye Feng had only taken about 40 seconds to pass the 31st floor. While it might not be the same elsewhere, at this 5th Preliminary Tower, it was truly unprecedented.

So, when people went to check the leaderboard, they indeed saw that the original 70th place had been pushed to the 71st.

The name in the 70th slot, meanwhile, had been replaced by "Ye Feng."

However, when they saw this unfamiliar name, their faces showed a hint of confusion.

"Ye Feng? Which vein of talent does he belong to in the Heavenly God Court?" someone couldn’t help but ask.

"I don’t know, but I’m sure this name isn’t among the popular candidates," the person next to him shook his head and said.

"I just contacted an information dealer; there’s definitely no genius named Ye Feng in the Heavenly God Court," someone nearby suddenly dropped significant news.

Gasps!

This news immediately caused an uproar.

Even many who hadn’t been very concerned with this matter were now drawn over.

The difference between a genius from Heavenly God Court and one appearing as an outsider was significant.

After all, one was routine, while the other was a phenomenon cheered on by the smaller factions and individual cultivators.

As they were in the midst of a heated discussion, Ye Feng’s name blinked once, then soared directly from 70th to 50th place.

Clearly, in just a brief moment, he had advanced from the 31st to the 32nd floor.

Seeing this fearsome momentum, someone couldn’t help but mutter under their breath, "I don’t know about other places, but today, the 5th Preliminary Tower is likely to make a name for itself."

Ye Feng’s terrifying speed of climbing the ranks drew all those watching the leaderboards to him.

Then, under the gaze of the crowd, he demonstrated what true leaderboard climbing was all about.

Ye Feng had taken 40 seconds at the 31st floor, but then he returned to clearing a level every 30 seconds.

So from his debut at 70th place to the number one spot, it only took him two minutes.

This scene directly struck those who had not been paying attention to Ye Feng dumbfounded.

And reaching number one was just the beginning for Ye Feng.

He continued to soar, refreshing the records of the leaderboard at the 5th Preliminary Tower.

36th floor, 37th floor... almost in the blink of an eye, Ye Feng reached the 40th floor.

By then, everyone around the two main leaderboards had been drawn to the temporary leaderboard at the Preliminary Tower.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the light circle that originally shone at the 40th floor suddenly shifted to the 41st floor.

And when the light at the 41st floor lit up, the rest of the floors in the Preliminary Tower seemed to light up as well.

In reality, this was not illumination, but the activation of the tower’s Formation.

Suddenly, a beam of light descended from the spire of the Preliminary Tower from the sky.

"Eh, why is this happening? Why is the whole tower lighting up?" someone curiously asked.

"It’s said that from the 41st floor onwards, the method of advancing will differ, but the specifics are unclear," someone knowledgeable explained.

This comment immediately drew the attention of those around him, but before anyone could ask what was going on, everyone felt a terrifying pressure descending from above.

This was a suppression at the level of life itself. Under this pressure, even the Tenth Order Strongmen present felt immobilized.

Many struggled to lift their heads and look into the sky, where there seemed to be a giant formed from the stars themselves.

Yet, when they looked closely, he seemed to be just an ordinary old man.

This contradictory perception was extremely uncomfortable for them, but when they saw the clothes representing a Heavenly God Court Deacon on the old man, everyone looked at him with awe.

One should know that even becoming the most ordinary Level One Deacon in the Heavenly God Court is to become a true deity.

What is the difference between a god and a human? frёewebηovel.cѳm

For this reason, the mere presence of this old man made it difficult for them to breathe.

And the elder, Huang Yunxiang, was a Level Three Deacon in the Heavenly God Court, absolutely a key figure, as going up from there would mean entering the rank of Elders.

At this time, Huang Yunxiang was stroking his beard, his face also full of surprise.
