Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm-Chapter 573 - 368. World Tree Seed_3

Yang Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

He couldn’t help but mutter to himself, "As expected of an Ancient God, the superpower mutated under the stimulation of the Power of the Ancient Gods can actually fool even an Ice Demon."

If he hadn’t been forced to remain still, he wouldn’t have known that the Ice Remnant superpower was so formidable.

The Ice Demon didn’t linger, flying straight towards the location of Ghost Shadow.

Watching this scene, Yang Fan thought to himself, "I guessed it right after all."

Since a quarter of an hour ago, the wriggling frequency of Ghost Shadow had noticeably increased, indicating a rise in instability of the sub passage.

He strongly suspected that the World Tree Seed was trying to release a minuscule amount of power to probe the situation outside the passage.

Once the sub passage collapses, the World Tree Seed can escape in time, without worrying about running into him upon exit.

The Ice Demon naturally couldn’t enter the sub passage; it wandered around nearby before slowly drifting away.

Yang Fan was highly focused, staring intently at Ghost Shadow.

At this moment, the wriggling frequency of Ghost Shadow increased once again.

He had an intuition that a major change was about to occur in the sub passage; it would either collapse completely or enter a state of contraction.

The so-called "contraction" refers to the Spatial Rift being squeezed; once contracted, the rift temporarily closes.

Five seconds later.

Ghost Shadow wriggled seven or eight times in succession, with the amplitude of each movement growing larger.

The premonition in Yang Fan’s heart grew unprecedentedly intense: "The crack is about to contract."

The moment is now!

He immediately activated the Shuttle Boat, tearing through Ghost Shadow in an instant and entering the sub passage.

Countless streams formed by fragmented images appeared once again before his eyes.

But compared to before, the torrent had undergone great changes.

Several zones within it saw their flow speeds increase several times, making it impossible to discern the nature of the images.

This is a typical trademark of passage contraction.

Due to the probabilities of space being different from the three-dimensional world known to ordinary people, space contraction doesn’t mean the cross-section of the passage is reduced.

Instead, spatial energy is highly concentrated in specific areas, naturally speeding up the flow considerably.

These areas become extremely dangerous; if spatial energy penetrates the passage even slightly, that part of the passage will collapse, leaving everything within obliterated.

Yang Fan quickly surveyed the surroundings, casting his gaze on a contraction zone, and his eyes gleamed with delight.

It has indeed appeared!

Utilizing his spatial perspective, he vaguely saw a hint of green light.

This is undoubtedly the World Tree Seed.

At the same time.

The green light suddenly flickered, darting like lightning towards the gate leading to the Celestial Pillar Icefield.

The World Tree Seed evidently sensed something amiss and was planning to escape.

Yang Fan resolutely took action.

A clone swiftly activated a Space Mark, directing a sliver of the Power of Space towards the torrent alongside it.

"Boom!"

A phantom-like thunderclap echoed.

The gateway passage collapsed.

The clone was instantly disintegrated by the fearsome spatial energy into dust.

The retreat of the green light was suddenly cut off.

The collapse triggered a chain reaction.

The flow speed of the entire torrent accelerated several times in an instant, meaning the sub passage was no longer undergoing localized contraction, but was shrinking as a whole.

This situation is even more perilous.

The green light flickered briefly and darted towards the entrance of the sub passage.

Earlier, the World Tree Seed dared to venture into the torrent, hiding in the fringe layers of the passage

Now it didn’t dare touch the torrent at all because doing so would mean certain death.

The entrance to the sub passage—the Arctic Icefield of Canglan Star—was the only chance of survival.

Another clone shouted, vigorously punching towards the green light.

The surrounding torrents were immediately disturbed, causing the flow speed to fluctuate, further diminishing stability.

The green light flashed rapidly, traversing the entire passage and reaching the entrance.

"Boom!"

Another thunderous roar.

The middle section of the sub passage followed with a collapse, the second clone turned into ashes instantly.

That segment of the entrance became unstable, the torrent speed increased to the extreme, seemingly on the verge of collapse.

The green light dared not hesitate, tore through space directly and went inside.

The third clone followed closely, departing the sub passage, returning to Canglan Star.

"Boom!"

An unprecedented loud clap of thunder.

The entire sub passage completely disintegrated.

Originally it was just entering a contraction state and would reopen in the future.

But at the critical moment of contraction, external interference acted as the straw that broke the camel’s back, and the sub passage ceased to exist.

*

Canglan Star.

Arctic Icefield.

"Woo~"

The cold wind continued to roar endlessly.

Beside an ice peak.

The night sky suddenly blinked, a speck of green light hurriedly emerged.

The World Tree Seed had appeared.

The spatial barrier of Canglan Star wasn’t an impervious defense net.

Extremely powerful monsters would instinctively be intercepted by the defense net, but creatures not too strong, upon finding the passage, could easily enter.

At that moment.

A soft laugh suddenly rang out, "I’ve been waiting for you long enough."

It was Yang Fan’s laughter.

Accompanied by this, countless emerald green branches appeared out of nowhere, numbering in the thousands, shooting towards the green light from all directions.

The World Tree Seed was caught off guard, immediately surrounded layer upon layer.

The green light flickered again, intending to traverse space to escape the encirclement.

Yang Fan chuckled, "Where do you think you’re going?"

He grasped the Space Pearl and swung it, an invisible chain shot out from the Stone Pearl.

Wherever the chain went, invisible ripples to the naked eye spread out rapidly.
