Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 990 - 576: Return of Glory

Ye Feng hadn’t waited for too long, merely a dozen seconds later, he saw a figure swiftly flying over from the distance.

Upon recognizing the newcomer, Ye Feng’s originally tense mood suddenly relaxed.

This person was known to him, one of their Sixth Elder’s lineage, a Level A Deacon Wei Shan.

Why the other party would appear here, Ye Feng pondered for a moment and immediately thought of the answer.

Clearly, this might be the Protector his master Sixth Elder Zheng Xiujing had assigned to him.

"Deacon Wei Shan, why have you come?" Although he had guessed the reason, Ye Feng still took the initiative to ask.

"It’s all because of you," Wei Shan’s tone contained a hint of grinding teeth.

He looked Ye Feng up and down to confirm he wasn’t injured and then heaved a sigh of relief.

"It’s good that you’re fine. You were too reckless! How could you chase straight into the control area of the Primordial Temple?"

"I sensed from afar just now that there was a huge energy fluctuation here. Others might have discovered it already, let’s hurry and leave!" Wei Shan said this with a tinge of reproach.

Indeed, coming here was truly risky for him.

During their infiltration, they had encountered at least three patrols, and fortunately, every incident was resolved without danger.

Now, all he hoped was to bring Ye Feng out safely.

"Okay!" Ye Feng didn’t offer any further explanation and nodded, then gestured to Xiao Yuner and the others to continue their retreat.

Seeing Ye Feng’s cooperation, it was now Wei Shan’s turn to be surprised.

In his memory, these geniuses were not usually so easy to talk to, with many even able to be described as stubborn.

And as for someone like Ye Feng, he was a genius among geniuses.

On his way here, he’d mentally prepared several speeches, yet unexpectedly, he didn’t need to use any of them.

Ye Feng, noticing Wei Shan’s surprise, smiled and explained, "We have already completed our mission, so naturally, we need to return."

"You’ve completed the mission? You killed all three geniuses, including Tan Liang?" Wei Shan’s face immediately showed a look of surprise.

No wonder he was so surprised. The other side was full of geniuses, who surely wouldn’t lack life-saving treasures, especially in a special place like the Tianxing Minefield.

Even he wasn’t absolutely sure he could kill those three geniuses.

At least, he wasn’t sure he could kill all of them.

"Hmm!" Ye Feng nodded calmly, without offering too much of an explanation.

After the initial shock passed, Wei Shan quickly calmed down, suddenly remembering that Ye Feng was someone who possessed the Supreme Rule.

In such a place where Realms were suppressed, the other party was able to perform even better.

If he could ambush and attack unexpectedly, such a feat seemed more acceptable.

"Direct Disciple Ye, truly worthy of being the foremost genius of our Era, doing what others cannot!" Wei Shan complimented him.

As for Ye Feng infiltrating into enemy territory unprepared, that would be considered reckless.

But now that Ye Feng had handled matters beautifully, it could be called strategic and brave.

"You flatter me," Ye Feng said modestly.

Wei Shan wanted to speak further, to close the gap between them, but suddenly remembered something, his face changed, and he hastily said.

"Let’s move quickly, the other side mobilized three top geniuses, so it’s very likely they have Protectors."

As Wei Shan spoke, he wanted to grab Ye Feng and make a quick escape.

Ye Feng dodged the approaching hand, and stated the outcome directly, "Indeed, there was a Protector, but only a late-stage True God, which I have taken care of."

Wei Shan, who was flying ahead, suddenly came to a halt, staring blankly at Ye Feng before saying, "I don’t think I heard you clearly. Could you say that again?"

Ye Feng repeated himself.

After confirming that his ears were not deceiving him, Wei Shan fell into silence.

He knew that Ye Feng was a God Seed, having mastered the Supreme Rule.

But he had never heard that the Supreme Rule could be so powerful!

Of course, he had also never seen a genius who controlled the highest rule at the Demigod Realm, as the era when the Courtyard Lord and the Vice Courtyard Master rose to power was somewhat distant from him.

"Does this mean we are now safe?" Wei Shan seemed to be asking, yet it seemed more like he was talking to himself.

"With you here, we’re definitely safe!" Ye Feng hurriedly offered a compliment.

"Don’t think too highly of me, in a place like this, a single True God Strongman could force me to unseal my strength," Wei Shan said solemnly.

"That is to say, if we run into two True Gods consecutively, I would be in great danger," Wei Shan continued with a grave expression.

This is exactly why so many strongmen are reluctant to come here. They can only unleash their full power for about ten to fifteen seconds, which makes it so easy to be overturned.

Ye Feng thoughtfully nodded, "So, to walk unchallenged in the Tianxing Minefield, one needs the strength to defeat a True God Strongman with just a Tenth Order Realm."

Wei Shan looked at Ye Feng, and seeing that the latter did not seem to be joking, he fell into self-doubt once more.

Ye Feng truly wasn’t joking. If he encountered a True God Strongman with their powers unsealed, indeed he couldn’t defeat them, but the thing was that he could escape!

Whether it was utilizing the Time Acceleration Rules a thousandfold or directly fleeing into the Void Chaotic Layer, it would be difficult for the enemy to catch up.

After waiting for about ten to fifteen seconds, he could simply kill his way back.

"Maybe I could use such a method to eliminate more True God Strongmen," Ye Feng began to calculate in his mind.

After all, aside from completing his mission, he also wanted to earn more Heavenly Points while he was here in the Tianxing Minefield.

...

Half an hour later, Ye Feng and his companions safely made their way back to the War Fortress.

When Ye Feng’s Earth Squad submitted their mission, it immediately caused a huge sensation.

There was no helping it; after all, Ye Feng personally undertook an S-rank assassination mission. Usually, the difficulty of such missions was sky-high, and even those capable of completing them would likely need ten days to half a month.

The Earth Squad took only half a day to complete it, making it seem not like an S-rank mission, but rather a B-rank, or even a C-rank mission.

Of course, considering that Ye Feng’s squad included two Direct Disciples, if it had only been this, they could have understood.

But when Ye Feng submitted the mission, he also submitted several battle recordings and claimed additional rewards.

That was the real cause of the commotion.

In the process of infiltrating, Ye Feng encountered a patrol squad, and he was able to instantly kill the patrol captain who had activated a Formation.

This immediately caused a great commotion.

Why did they all act in squads? It was so they could form a Formation.

Even though they couldn’t discern through the video how Ye Feng managed this feat, this ability to disregard the Formation and strike the person directly truly sent chills down their spines.

Of course, if defeating these patrol squads had merely caused a commotion,

then what followed truly set off a storm— the Earth Squad actually seized a stronghold by sheer force, annihilating the entire stronghold, including three top genius adversaries.

This revelation left many in disbelief, never having imagined the vast disparity that could exist between individuals.
