Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 715 - 408 Ling’s Intelligence_2

Every time he broke through a minor boundary, the length of the roots could increase by a full 30 kilometers.

You should know, this was the increase in length when breaking through realms, but when Ye Feng added points, the length of the roots also increased.

Moreover, when adding points, the increase in the roots was even more exaggerated, with a realm increase adding 60 kilometers.

Theoretically speaking, his roots would have increased by a full 270 kilometers from the initial stage to the peak of the Eighth Order.

However, he had just broken through to the Peak of the Eighth Order and had not yet added points, so the increase in length was only 210 kilometers.

With the original root length of 201.5 kilometers, plus the 210 kilometers gained from reaching the Eighth Order, his root length now reached a whopping 411.5 kilometers.

To be honest, such a root length is quite exaggerated, enough to cover the entire Donghai Province.

Not to mention this was his normal state; if he used the Method of Heaven and Earth to increase his size, his roots’ maximum length could reach 1646 kilometers.

"This rate of growth is rather too fast, at this rate, Earth might not be able to contain me one day," Ye Feng mused with a hint of melancholy.

Of course, this sentiment was quickly dismissed.

He then quickly shrank his size in reverse using the Method of Heaven and Earth, rapidly reducing his height to just 22 kilometers.

This was not greatly different from his height before the Peak of the Seventh Order.

Then his form flickered rapidly, quickly returning to the metal platform, before transporting back to Rule Mountain.

"It’s time to act," Ye Feng whispered to himself in his human form, then took out his identity token and instantly returned home. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

However, the World Tree Body did not come along, after all, having just broken through to the Eighth Order, his aura was not so easy to conceal; coming back early might scare the prey.

After returning home, Ye Feng instantly felt the presence of others in the house.

With a sweep of his spiritual power, he knew who had come.

At this moment, Chen Yuejun was already getting anxious, having waited one day for Ye Feng yesterday and arriving early in the morning today.

After explaining the reason for his visit, Ye Xiangfeng naturally couldn’t stop him and warmly invited him in, then the two chatted over tea while waiting.

But as the morning passed, they had drunk seven or eight pots of tea and visited the restroom several times, yet Ye Feng still had not returned.

"Brother Ye, it’s nearly noon, when will Ye Feng come back?" Chen Yuejun glanced at his watch, asking with some urgency.

"He should be back soon, usually, he comes back for lunch, and if he misses it, he’ll return for dinner," Ye Xiangfeng replied, seeing Chen Yuejun’s impatience.

"Actually, General Chen, you really don’t need to wait here. As soon as Xiao Feng returns, I will have him go find you immediately," Ye Xiangfeng said hastily.

"No need, I..." Chen Yuejun hadn’t finished speaking when he saw the sudden appearance of a figure in the living room.

"General Chen, what brings you here?" Ye Feng asked, feigning ignorance.

"How dare you ask; when dealing with such an important matter as the Small Phoenix Mountain Restricted Area, how could you not discuss it with us!" Chen Yuejun asked sternly.

"It’s not that I didn’t want to discuss with you, but I didn’t have the time! These past few days, I was busy cultivating, and I barely managed to break through to the Peak of the Seventh Order before taking action," Ye Feng offered an excuse offhand.

"This..." Chen Yuejun was truly shocked.

You should know Ye Feng’s current realm was of the Seventh Order!

Everyone knows, the higher the realm, the harder it is to break through. Yet Ye Feng was progressing one minor boundary a day, a rate that was simply incomprehensible.

Yet he also knew Ye Feng was a core member of the Heavenly Court and was receiving focused training, and with his freakish talent, it wasn’t entirely impossible.

"Your cultivation has truly reached the Peak of the Seventh Order?" Chen Yuejun, uncertain, asked for confirmation.

"Hmm!" Ye Feng nodded, "It’s a pity that here we are suppressed by the Power of Heaven and Earth, otherwise, I could demonstrate it for you."

Chen Yuejun took a deep breath, his mind racing with thoughts.

If Ye Feng were only at the early stage of the Seventh Order, then the danger would indeed be great, but if he were at the peak, it would be a different story.

You know, when Ye Feng was at the Sixth Order Peak, he could unleash the power of the Seventh Order.

Now at the Peak of the Seventh Order, wouldn’t it be unsurprising for him to exhibit the power of the Eighth Order?

"By then, with the cooperation of the Dragon King, we might truly be able to resolve the issue of the Small Phoenix Mountain Restricted Area," he mused.

With that thought, he asked in a deep voice, "Are you really confident?"

Ye Feng didn’t equivocate, nodding his head as he responded, "Qiongqi has only recovered to the Peak of the Eighth Order, which is merely equivalent to the Dragon King’s power."

"Together, we have at least a sixty to seventy percent chance of taking him down."

"Besides, you know of my unique ability; even if I can’t win, I’m fully confident I can escape."

In fact, Ye Feng was worried the other party wouldn’t believe him and was intentionally conservative in his assessment; he had more than an eighty percent certainty of being able to subdue Qiongqi.

At this time, Chen Yuejun was also finally persuaded. He took a deep breath and said, "Fine, I understand. Do you need any support? Something like nuclear bombs?"

"No need," shook his head, Ye Feng replied.

"Er... Are you sure we don’t need it?" Now it was Chen Yuejun’s turn to feel a bit embarrassed.

It seemed Ye Feng’s report was merely a formality, to give them a heads-up!

"Really, no need, any help that might be required would be after the battle," Ye Feng shook his head and stated.

"Alright! When do you plan to move? I’ve just taken command of the troops at Small Phoenix Mountain Restricted Area; we can evacuate anytime," said Chen Yuejun.

"No rush, let’s have dinner first; we still need to wait for the Dragon King and verify the intel," Ye Feng said with a smile.

...

While Ye Feng and Chen Yuejun were conversing, within the secluded space of the Small Phoenix Mountain Restricted Area, the scenery hadn’t changed much from before.

The kilometer-high statue of Qiongqi stood erect at the very center of this space, with the skeleton creatures and ferocious beasts lying prostrate on the ground below, sinking into a semi-sleep state to reduce their energy consumption.

Not far from there, a Space Gate only the size of a fist lightly pulsed, but strands of Spiritual Energy kept floating out from within, swiftly being absorbed by Qiongqi to enhance its recovery speed.

Beneath this utterly silent space, a series of stone coffins were buried, where Qiongqi’s Seventh Order Strongmen usually lay dormant.

But at this moment, one of the stone coffins quietly cracked open just a sliver.

Lying dormant inside was Ling, although at that moment, he wasn’t sleeping; he had just received another command from Ye Feng through the imprint in his mind.

He knew this was dangerous, but he had no choice but to proceed, carefully releasing a wisp of spiritual power towards the outside.

This wisp of spiritual power quickly approached the vicinity of Qiongqi, and of course, he didn’t dare to touch Qiongqi’s body directly, because doing so would amount to a direct probe and would certainly be detected.

Thus, he only surveyed the environment around Qiongqi.

His observation included the aura emitted by Qiongqi, the speed at which it absorbed Spiritual Energy, and so on.

Ling had followed Qiongqi into many battles over the years and consequently knew him well.

This understanding covered many aspects, and he believed he couldn’t possibly be unaware if Qiongqi had recovered to the Ninth Order.

After a full minute, Ling carefully retracted that bit of spiritual power.

He then used the imprint in his Sea of Consciousness to convey the information to Ye Feng.

He wasn’t sure if what he was doing was right or wrong,

but the indelible mark in his mind made him realize he had embarked on a path of no return.

Moreover, the ability of this imprint to silently transmit messages through space made him aware of Ye Feng’s mysteriousness.

Most importantly, based on Ye Feng’s recent assignments to him, he could deduce that his master was planning to take action against Lord Qiongqi.

What this implied was clear to him.

It suggested that Ye Feng might truly possess the power to confront Qiongqi.

This made him even less likely to betray,

at least until Ye Feng was defeated.
