The Yama Tree ultimately climbed to the pinnacle of the eighth level of life through its own strength. Its combat style was far more brutal and rational than that of Dr. He, who was a latecomer in this field.
When it spoke the four words "the natural world," it had already completed the preparations for this move. At the high point inside the posthumous child mountain, where only a few lights were still shining, a vast expanse of green clouds had formed.
This single move demonstrated just how terrifying the Yama Tree's power was. From lying in wait underground for a sneak attack to being forced out by the Holy Father while simultaneously completing the arrangement of the natural world, everything was seamlessly connected without a sound. Even the Holy Father did not realize it in an instant and was directly enveloped by the natural world.
Although the preparations had been excellently executed, the Yama Tree did not underestimate its opponent. The natural world directly entered the fourth stage of power.
Large quantities of green leaves fell from the clouds above, like spinning blades, striking down towards the Holy Father with thunderous force.
If Ye Zhongming had been awake at that moment, he would have realized that the Yama Tree’s power had increased since her time in Linhai City. This overwhelming natural world power was something Ye Zhongming could not have withstood back then.
The natural world was originally an area attack, which maximized the chances of the Holy Father not being able to leave the attack range. Moreover, the speed of the fourth stage's abilities was incredibly fast. The first leaf fell in the blink of an eye and landed on the Holy Father's body.
This skill was both an area attack and a continuous attack. Perhaps a single leaf’s attack power could be resisted by a sixth-level evolved life form, but countless leaves would give even a strong expert a headache, if not fear.
When the first leaf landed on the Holy Father, the defenses of the ninth-level expert shattered it immediately. The second and third leaves followed, all crushed and unable to harm him.
However, when the one-hundredth, two-hundredth, or even one-thousandth leaf fell, even the Holy Father could not endure it.
Ye Zhongming had previously managed to hold on thanks to the Staff of Nature, but the Holy Father did not possess such an item. Even if he did, facing the significantly enhanced fourth stage of the natural world would likely render it ineffective.
The Yama Tree was determined to make the Holy Father pay. Those sharp and potent leaves nearly drowned him.
It was evident that just ten seconds after the natural world was unleashed, blood began to seep from the Holy Father, and he continuously descended. The Yama Tree’s skill was putting immense pressure on him... even causing him harm.
Aside from the divine punishment, which came at the expense of an eighth-level expert, a ninth-level expert, and the entire Sacred Pool, this was the first time the Holy Father had been truly suppressed.
Many warriors looked at the Yama Tree with awe.
Some non-Cloud Summit Earth warriors were even bowing down in admiration of Ye Zhongming, wondering how Boss Ye could be so formidable as to command such a powerful life form. Many even thought of the national battle power rankings. If the Yama Tree were included, Boss Ye would likely be far ahead, making it impossible for others to even see his shadow.
The Yama Tree’s second body swayed to a certain extent. Although it appeared she had complete initiative, only she understood the amount of energy she was currently expending.
A ninth-level expert remained a ninth-level expert. Even a wounded ninth-level expert still posed enormous pressure on the Yama Tree, which was only one step away from the ninth level.
"Not bad."
The Holy Father spoke faintly.
As he descended below the city wall, he made his counterattack.
He waved one hand around his body, and a light barrier appeared. The leaves of the natural world could only strike against this barrier and could no longer harm the Holy Father's body.
