Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 957 - 543 Gaining the Upper Hand

Ye Feng had thought that this situation would at least last for a while.

But clearly, these four True God Strongmen lacked the patience to drag out the fight with him, or perhaps they dared not continue it much longer.

Seeing that they hadn’t been able to take him down in an instant, they actually surged towards his direction at high speed.

If it were just that, it wouldn’t have been much of an issue.

But Ye Feng could feel the fluctuations emanating from the four True God Strongmen suddenly intensify.

It gave him a sense of extreme danger.

"Are they burning their Divine Statues, going for broke?" Ye Feng’s eyes widened slightly.

Although he had never engaged in a life-and-death battle with True God Strongmen before, his human self had joined the Heavenly God Court and had not neglected to learn about this type of intelligence.

So, he was genuinely taken aback at this moment.

"Are these guys that crazy? They’re not even in a life-threatening situation yet, and they’re already starting to burn their Divine Statues—no, they must be eyeing the opportunities on Earth."

Ye Feng, observing the greed in the eyes of these four True God Strongmen, instantly guessed the reason behind their resolute decision to fight to the death.

Boom!

As they began to burn their Divine Statues, Divine Fire suddenly erupted from the bodies of the four True God Strongmen.

This Divine Fire was different from what Ye Feng was igniting at the moment; theirs was a manifestation of their divine essence, condensing the Essence, Qi, and Spirit of the True God Strongmen.

It was a force even higher in level than Divine Power.

And at this moment, these Divine Fires, upon their appearance, were swiftly channeled into their respective Divine Artifacts.

Instantly, the might of all their attacks nearly skyrocketed by a factor of ten.

Puf puf puf!

These were the Divine Sword Phantoms released by Zhang Tiangang’s Sword Realm, each capable of easily severing Ye Feng’s tree roots.

In almost the blink of an eye, thousands of kilometers of Ye Feng’s tree roots were severed.

If Ye Feng didn’t make a change, in at most fifteen seconds, all his roots would be cut off.

And this was just Zhang Tiangang’s outburst alone, not to mention the others were not just for show.

It could be said that in an instant, Ye Feng faced the biggest life-threatening danger since his breakthrough.

"You really think only you have a trump card?" Ye Feng’s gaze turned cold, and he immediately executed his own trump card.

Ye Feng directly tapped the system panel, deploying the ability "Plant Growth."

Before, when Ye Feng was at the Tenth Order, each use of this ability would cost him one hundred million points of Power of Faith.

Now, having broken through to the Demigod Realm, the cost had increased from one hundred million to two hundred million.

Of course, this referred to the regular state. freewёbnoνel.com

Because the ability "Plant Growth" accelerated time based on Ye Feng’s current state.

Thus, the stronger his state, the more terrifying the consumption.

For instance, when he deployed the Method of Heaven and Earth, the consumption of Power of Faith would increase by an additional ten times on top of the original base, which is from two hundred million to two billion.

Not to mention that at this moment, Ye Feng had already activated many states, especially with the enhancement of the top-tier Divine Artifact, the Chaos Xuan Guang Ball, which had significantly boosted his physical attributes.

Therefore, under such conditions, Ye Feng needed to spend a full ten billion points of Power of Faith to execute Plant Growth once.

When he saw this number pop up on the system, even Ye Feng felt a twinge of pain.

But he didn’t hesitate at all and directly clicked to confirm.

In an instant, he entered a state of time acceleration tenfold.

In this state, Ye Feng felt as if the whole world had slowed down by a factor of ten.

Before, the peak attacks of these four True God-level strongmen felt like a violent storm, leaving him almost breathless.

Now that it had slowed down tenfold, this overwhelming pressure greatly diminished.

Because he had more time to think and adjust his defenses to better cope with these attacks.

In practical combat, this meant that Ye Feng’s root movement speed had increased tenfold.

And he could also appear in the most appropriate place at the most appropriate time.

Take, for instance, the current situation, with the Heavenly Poles Sword Domain posing the greatest threat to Ye Feng.

Although Ye Feng’s defensive power remained unchanged and his roots would still be severed by a single stroke of the enemy’s sword,

the length of the root cut off by the enemy’s sword would determine the extent of the damage directly inflicted upon Ye Feng.

Now, under the state of tenfold time acceleration, even when facing tens of thousands of Divine Sword Phantoms, Ye Feng was able to block precisely.

How precise was it!

The roots could change from blocking horizontally to vertically just as the enemy’s sword came slashing down.

Considering Ye Feng’s roots were only about 1,000 meters wide, blocking horizontally meant they would be severed at once.

But blocking vertically was a different story; even if the enemy’s sword slashed down vertically, at most, it would only be able to cut through five or six kilometers.

Such damage was virtually negligible for Ye Feng.

Not just in facing the Sword Realm, but apart from the Purgatory Divine Domain unleashed by Yan Hu, all attacks could be blocked in this manner.

In an instant, the damage from the attacks that Ye Feng suffered was drastically reduced, and there was even a faint trend of pushing back.

The only thing that Ye Feng found troublesome was the Purgatory Divine Domain.

After Yan Hu had burned his Divine Statue, the might of the Divine Domain increased several times over.

In such a circumstance, even with two Supreme Rules in Ye Feng’s Inner World, it was somewhat difficult to keep up, continually shattering.

And this led directly to Yan Hu’s Purgatory Divine Domain finally inflicting damage upon Ye Feng’s main body.

Fortunately, in the state where the Chaos Xuan Guang Ball solely increased defense, the defense of the trunk and branches had also been elevated to the level of a late-stage True God.

Of course, even so, it couldn’t withstand the Purgatory Divine Domain.

Ye Feng’s leaves, branches, and even the trunk were constantly being shredded by the Divine Domain’s power, but likewise, they were regenerating rapidly.

At this point, the vast Life Energy stored within Ye Feng’s body, coupled with the Life Rule, allowed him to grow 1,000 meters every second.

And this was merely the normal state, as he was now in a state of tenfold time acceleration.

Under these conditions, he could grow nearly 10,000 meters every second.

It could be said that his regeneration speed far exceeded the damage inflicted by Yan Hu.

The situation once again entered a stalemate.

It was just a matter of seeing who would falter first.

However, when it came to a battle of attrition, Ye Feng wasn’t worried in the slightest.

Over the past half a year, he had amassed Rule Fruits and Fruits of Life to an enormous extent.

The total had reached an astounding one hundred billion.

In such an intense battle, even if it continued for a year and a half, Ye Feng could hold on.

But it was different for these True God Strongmen; they were now burning their Divine Statues, and such bursts of power were measured in minutes.

According to Ye Feng’s estimate, these people definitely couldn’t last more than ten minutes.

In fact, there was no need for that long.

After just one minute, seeing that they couldn’t take down Ye Feng, the four True God Level Strongmen already began to think about retreating.

At this moment, they were rapidly communicating with Divine Sense, and the content of their communication was about how long Ye Feng’s extremely high recovery speed could last.

Unfortunately, no matter how they discussed, they couldn’t come up with an exact answer.

If it were before, when Ye Feng could only hang the Fruit of Life on the tree trunk, they might have been able to grasp some clues.

But as the development of the Inner World progressed, Ye Feng had stored everything inside, making it utterly impossible for enemies, no matter how strong their insight was, to fathom his true state.
