Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 798 - 450: Gains Amidst the Heavenly Tribulation Part 2

Chapter 798: Chapter 450: Gains Amidst the Heavenly Tribulation Part 2

Although the speed became slower, the expansion was exceptionally resolute.

91%, 92%, 93%... 99%.

Just as the Inner World was about to evolve perfectly, the Heaven and Earth where Ye Feng was located underwent another change.

Innumerable thunderbolts emerged from every corner of the Universe Boundary Wall, gradually converging above Ye Feng’s head in the sky.

"Is this the Heavenly Tribulation?" Ye Feng was somewhat surprised.

Logically, unless one violated certain taboos, the Heavenly Tribulation should not be triggered before becoming a god.

Like the last time, when Ye Feng triggered the Heavenly Tribulation, it was while resurrecting the human original body.

Resurrecting a deceased being was something the Cosmic Will absolutely did not permit, and that was what would give birth to the Heavenly Tribulation.

But now, as Ye Feng was merely condensing the Inner World, it also triggered the Heavenly Tribulation, which inevitably made Ye Feng look forward to it.

Because this proved that the Perfect Inner World was absolutely extraordinary.

As for the danger faced during the Heavenly Tribulation, Ye Feng wasn’t too concerned.

The so-called Cosmic Will is actually a certain kind of operational rule; even the Heavenly Tribulation, which can scare other beings out of their wits, must leave a glimmer of survival.

For example, Ye Feng’s current cultivation level had just broken through to the Ninth Order, so in theory, no matter how terrifying the Heavenly Tribulation was, it could only reach the level of the Early Stage Tenth Order at most.

This level of Heavenly Thunder attack might be an overwhelming disaster for other Ninth Order Strongmen, but it was just so for Ye Feng.

Even when Ye Feng realized the Heavenly Tribulation was about to condense, his first reaction was not how to deal with it, but to immediately have the human original body teleport over.

Because the human original body practiced the "Thunderbolt Divine Body," apart from using the Thunder Rules to continually strengthen the physical body, there was also a method to rapidly enhance the Thunderbolt Divine Body, which was the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering.

Even sufficiently powerful Heavenly Thunder could let Ye Feng cultivate the next phase of the Thunderbolt Divine Body in advance, before his realm breakthrough.

For instance, the power of the Eighth Order Heavenly Thunder could allow Ye Feng to begin cultivating the Eighth Stage of the Thunderbolt Divine Body in advance.

Now, the born Heavenly Thunder, according to Ye Feng’s estimate, was of the Tenth Order Level, and in theory, Ye Feng could cultivate the Thunderbolt Divine Body to the level of Great Success in one go.

In the less than 10 seconds that Ye Feng had these thoughts, the human original body at the Rule Mountain Peak had already entered thousands of kilometers deep into the Universe Boundary Wall, merging with the World Tree Body.

Of course, since the human original body was only Seventh Order and not adept at defense, it definitely wouldn’t be able to withstand the Tenth Order Level Heavenly Thunder.

Therefore, Ye Feng went directly to the World Tree Body’s trunk located in the middle, to avoid facing the Heavenly Tribulation directly.

By this time, after over a dozen seconds of brewing, the might of the Heavenly Tribulation had gathered almost completely, and suddenly a Heavenly Thunder, more than a dozen meters thick, struck directly at Ye Feng’s World Tree.

To be precise, it targeted the still incomplete Inner World surrounding the World Tree.

Seeing this scene, Ye Feng naturally wouldn’t sit idly by; he immediately caused dozens of tree roots to surge towards the sky, directly facing the Heavenly Thunder.

In fact, after reaching the Ninth Order, the diameter of any of Ye Feng’s roots had already surpassed those of the Heavenly Thunders.

So at this moment, it looked more like Ye Feng was attacking the Heavenly Tribulation.

Boom!

When the Heavenly Thunder collided with the roots, it immediately generated severe energy fluctuations as the thunder raged over the surface of the roots.

But at most, it could only blacken the bark slightly, presenting no substantial threat whatsoever.

"This is easier than I expected," Ye Feng couldn’t help but mutter.

Because this Heavenly Thunder was only at the level of the Early Stage of the Ninth Order.

But obviously, there wouldn’t be just one Heavenly Thunder; one after another, they kept falling.

After the initial probing, Ye Feng dealt with each Heavenly Thunder with just one root.

And Ye Feng didn’t completely neutralize the power of these Heavenly Thunders; each one allowed a portion of thunder to spread down along the roots incessantly.

Ye Feng’s human original body was waiting below, directly facing these electric surges.

Even though these electric currents only contained a small portion of the Heavenly Thunder’s might, they were still enough to reach the level of the Eighth Order.

After enduring the onslaught, Ye Feng’s body hair stood on end, and his muscles began to twitch slightly.

But this was exactly what Ye Feng wanted, as he started to operate his "Thunderbolt Divine Body" with full force, absorbing the formidable power of the Heavenly Thunder.

The effects of Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering were much more rapid than Ye Feng’s direct use of the Thunder Rules to temper his body.

Moreover, Ye Feng could sense that these Heavenly Thunders seemed to contain the ultimate mysteries of lightning, and as his body absorbed them, his comprehension of the Rule of Thunderbolt was also skyrocketing.

This immediately brightened Ye Feng’s eyes, and he absorbed with even more vigor.

During this process, Ye Feng continually adjusted the tree roots to minimize the weakening of the Heavenly Thunder, ensuring that the capacity of his human self remained on the edge of its limits.

The first onslaught consisted of 99 bolts of Heavenly Thunder and lasted a full 5 minutes before it ceased.

Looking at the second wave of Heavenly Tribulation brewing above his head, Ye Feng slowly exhaled.

At this moment, his human self was completely scorched, with nearly every inch of skin blackened by the electricity, but the aura emanating from him was not diminishing but increasing.

A root tendril rested on Ye Feng’s shoulder, and with an infusion of Life Energy, his injuries healed at a terrifying speed.

The charred remains flaked away, revealing healthy, ruddy skin underneath.

"I truly didn’t anticipate such a great harvest," Ye Feng couldn’t help but exclaim.

In just 5 minutes, the Eighth Order of Thunderbolt Divine Body had already been cultivated by 50%.

What was more important was that even his Rule of Thunderbolt had directly broken through to the Territory Realm, reaching the Second Level of the Territory Realm.

In such a situation, Ye Feng could only remark to himself that danger and opportunity coexisted, and for him, there was no danger, only opportunity.

The second wave of the Heavenly Tribulation began after a few seconds of brewing and then descended thunderously.

It was again 99 bolts of Heavenly Thunder, but the might of this wave increased dramatically, reaching the Peak of the Ninth Order.

Of course, this posed no difficulty for the World Tree to withstand.

As long as the World Tree itself was fine, the human self would naturally have no problems either.

Bolts of Heavenly Thunder, filtered through the tree roots, reached the human self with precisely the right amount of power.

After another 5 minutes, the second wave of the Heavenly Tribulation ended.

Ye Feng’s Thunderbolt Divine Body, at the Eighth Order, was now cultivated to 99%, yet he frowned upon realizing that it could not be further improved.

The reason was simple; his Rule of Thunderbolt was only an Intermediate Rule, and his current Rule Comprehension could not support the cultivation of the Ninth Order Thunderbolt Divine Body.

He must comprehend a Higher Rule related to the Thunder Element to proceed.

However, the realm of his Rule of Thunderbolt had made substantial leaps, jumping directly from the Second Level of Territory Realm to the Fifth Level of Territory Realm.

This advancement was even more exaggerated than before.

The reason, naturally, was that the second wave of Heavenly Tribulation was more formidable, containing even more of the ultimate mysteries, which allowed Ye Feng to gain deeper insights.

At this time, Ye Feng quickly absorbed Life Energy, healing the injuries on his body, while also looking up into the high sky.

There, the third wave of the Heavenly Tribulation was brewing, and based on his intuition, this also looked to be the last wave of the tribulation.

However, the might of it was so great that any Ninth Order Strongman standing here would face a tremendous life-and-death crisis.

Even Ye Feng couldn’t help but slightly raise his eyebrows, as the power was even greater than he had initially anticipated.

According to his estimate, it should have reached the Mid Stage Tenth Order.

It is known that the higher the realm, the larger the gap between each level. At the Tenth Order Level, even a small rank difference means strength could differ by three to four times.

However, over the past two months, Ye Feng had been cultivating the Divine Wood God Body, and although it had not reached Great Success, he had already integrated over 600 varieties of Strange Flowers and Rare Fruits into the cellular level.

This had roughly doubled his defensive power compared to before, and although not quite at the Mid Stage Tenth Order, it was almost there.

Coupled with the Divine Skills of the Law of Heaven and Earth, withstanding such a Heavenly Tribulation was still well within his means.
