Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 722 - 412: Negotiations, Coercion, and Temptation!_1

Chapter 722: Chapter 412: Negotiations, Coercion, and Temptation!_1

Qiongqi lowered its head, staring at the massive wound on its abdomen with a hint of shock and fear in its eyes.

Just now, it had clearly seen that inconsequential human adjust the angle of attack of that strange weapon deliberately right before striking.

If the opponent hadn’t made that move and had instead targeted its head with that attack, would it have been able to block it?

Qiongqi wasn’t sure.

But it could clearly sense that the blow it had just received was definitely at the Tenth Order Peak Level.

An attack of this magnitude, even if it were in its perfect state, would cause not insignificant injury if hit.

Now that it had recovered only to the Ninth Order Mid-stage, if it had been hit in the head just now, there was a ninety percent chance it would have died on the spot.

This realization wasn’t just on Qiongqi’s mind, the myriad of subordinates watching the battle could also see it clearly.

Among everyone, except for Ling, the emotions on their faces were those of despair.

Their only hope had been that Qiongqi would defeat the opponent, which would give them a chance to survive.

And now that Qiongqi had also been defeated, could they still live?

Even feeling the increasingly strong Devouring power from the tree roots, they felt they might not even last until Qiongqi was defeated; they could be directly devoured to death.

"Why?"

For the first time since the battle began, Qiongqi spoke, "Why is the Divine Artifact in your hands?"

After Youming came back, it naturally informed it of the intelligence, so Qiongqi knew that the huge tree outside had seized a Divine Artifact, and it was on guard for this.

But what it couldn’t understand was why the Divine Artifact would be in the possession of a human?

Why would anyone entrust their greatest reliance to someone else?

Just like it would never hand over a Divine Artifact for its subordinates to use. After all, a Divine Artifact isn’t a regular weapon that one can simply wield.

To control a Divine Artifact, one must have it acknowledge its master. Once the Divine Artifact acknowledges a master, control is entirely out of its hands.

More importantly, even a Seventh Order Strongman who’s acknowledged by a Divine Artifact has the ability to threaten a Tenth Order Strongman.

That’s why it had never considered this possibility, which was part of the reason why it was caught off guard in the attack—at least partially.

In response to Qiongqi’s question, Ye Feng smiled but didn’t conceal the truth, saying, "It’s simple, because we are one and the same."

His ultimate goal was to subdue Qiongqi, so what needed to be shown was not just Combat Power but also potential.

And to Qiongqi, this was definitely an unexpected answer.

It looked at Ye Feng, then at the World Tree, and its massive roots.

Guesses arose in its mind one after another, but it denied them all itself.

Suddenly, a spark of realization flashed through and it exclaimed in astonishment, "You have two main bodies?"

Only thus could this current situation be explained, because the abilities possessed by this human in front of it greatly differed from the World Tree Body, and yet it had immense potential and was an independent entity.

Considering all the factors, this was the only reason.

"Yes, that’s right," Ye Feng replied calmly with a nod.

But Qiongqi’s heart was anything but calm, even filled with jealousy. A general avatar was something it could produce as well.

But what is a main body? That is equivalent to another entity with infinite potential.

To obtain another main body requires the Chaos Supreme Treasure of legend, something even true God-level Strongmen would covet. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

But at this moment, other than silence, Qiongqi could only keep silent. Although it had its answer, it was still at an absolute disadvantage.

Even engaging in conversation with Ye Feng was an attempt to buy time to heal.

The vast injury on its abdomen, in the brief span of this conversation, was pulsating and squeezing as the flesh regenerated, not only stopping the flow of blood but also healing rapidly.

As for Qiongqi’s small movements, Ye Feng was completely indifferent, or rather, he simply didn’t care.

He just looked calmly at Qiongqi and continued to speak, "So in this battle, you have no chance of victory."

"Of course, I know you can Ignite Divine Fire and burst forth with Tenth Order Peak power, and in that state, you could indeed suppress me, even force me out of this space."

"But what then? When the Divine Fire burns out, I guess you will die, and even if you have other means to save your life or some Secret Technique, you can’t completely offset that massive backlash."

"Guessing that the best outcome is a permanent drop in Realms; and not just one or two Big Realms. Then whether you can exert Power of the Seventh Order will be questionable, right?"

"What will you fight for when the Spiritual Energy Resurgence comes? Rather than that, you might as well submit to me."

As Ye Feng finished speaking, the scene fell into a moment of silence, and everyone could feel the anger within Qiongqi rising.

Its eyes truly spouted black flames at this moment.

"I have lived since the Ancient Times, facing countless crises. I’ve never thought about submitting, not to the True God Strongmen, nor to the Higher Gods."

"Now based on you alone, you want me to submit?" Qiongqi roared.

Ye Feng didn’t argue any further with the opponent but instead lifted the God-splitting Spear again and started to relentlessly push the Thunder and Lightning Rule into it.

Yes, this time Ye Feng was directly injecting Rule Power, not ordinary thunder and lightning.
