Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree

Such strength.

Made those surrounding attackers feel a chill in their hearts.

Especially Yan Tian.

At the start, he even had the intention of making a move against Zhang Ming.

But he didn’t expect the other party’s power to be so terrifying.

If he had really acted, he himself would have been the one to fall. Thinking of this, Yan Tian felt a chill in his heart.

On the other side.

Assad, with blood-stained chest, was thoroughly enraged.

"Find him, we must find this bastard. Dare to kill someone from my Divine Eye Empire? No one in the entire starry sky can protect you!"

A dignified eighth-level powerhouse, carelessly wounded by a punch, and even had two seventh-level cultivators killed, was an utter humiliation in Assad’s eyes.

If this event were to spread, his reputation would be utterly ruined.

If it were to reach the Divine Eye Empire, he might even be punished.

For a moment.

Assad considered silencing everyone present.

But this thought was quickly dismissed.

There were quite a few strong individuals present, although none were at eighth level, there were several seventh-level consummate cultivators. Silencing them all wasn’t feasible either.

Moreover.

The forces behind these cultivators weren’t small either.

Though Divine Eye Empire fears not these forces, it doesn’t mean he, as an eighth-level cultivator, could ignore their existence.

So.

With a gloomy expression, Assad led the remaining people away.

Not long after Assad left, the others also departed one by one.

But everyone knew.

The events of today would surely spread across the starry sky.

Not to mention the emergence of the Ninety-Nine Celestial Tribulation, just the fact that a newly entered seventh-level cultivator could injure an eighth-level powerhouse, and instantly kill a mid-seventh-level and upper-seventh-level powerhouse under the opponent’s nose.

Such depth.

Speaks volumes.

...

"The Divine Eye Empire is truly a persistent ghost!"

When Zhang Ming made a move against the Divine Eye Empire, Gu Qingyang was the first to sense it, observing the scene there from Zhang Ming’s perspective as a follower.

As for why Gu Qingyang could sense it first, the reason was quite simple.

Summoning Technique!

Just now.

Zhang Ming used the Summoning Technique to forcibly elevate his cultivation from lower seventh level to mid-seventh level, thereby unleashing such terrifying power.

After all.

Zhang Ming was a prodigy who’d crossed the Ninety-Nine Celestial Tribulation, with unfathomable depth in his Fighting Saint Body.

Before breaking through the seventh level, he was able to battle seventh-level powerhouses. Now, having truly reached mid-seventh level, declaring himself invincible among seventh-level isn’t an empty boast.

Unless a genius of the same level appears, no ordinary seventh-level consummate cultivator would be a match for Zhang Ming after his breakthrough.

However, the notion of Zhang Ming being able to injure Assad with one punch still seemed impossible to Gu Qingyang.

An eighth-level powerhouse.

Even a lower eighth level can’t be rivaled by the seventh level.

Zhang Ming managed this solely because Assad was careless and underestimated his opponent.

If not.

Zhang Ming truly might not be a match for Assad.

Yet.

The other party’s escape was not difficult.

This move by the Divine Eye Empire made Gu Qingyang realize fully that their actions against the Cyan Yang Divine Court had already begun, and it wouldn’t be long before the Divine Eye Empire’s army appeared before the Cyan Yang Realm.

For such a massive power ruling several galaxies, Gu Qingyang couldn’t deny some apprehension.

But now.

He wasn’t too afraid either.

With the current limit at the ninth level, the Divine Eye Empire might only have quasi-tenth level powerhouses.

Yet to think they’d deploy quasi-tenth level powerhouses against the Cyan Yang Divine Court is impossible.

So.

If the Divine Eye Empire truly strikes, the ninth level is likely sufficient.

Of course.

It might not be just a single ninth level at play.

Gu Qingyang’s faith has now grown to a certain scale, with an endless stream of Faith Power gathering.

Given more time, a Divine Kingdom breakthrough to the ninth level wouldn’t be a problem either.

Ninth-level Divine Kingdom’s emergence.

Might spur the direct birth of several ninth-level powerhouses.

At worst.

Gu Qingyang could convert the vast Faith Power into an Evolution Value for a breakthrough himself.

"It’s close!"

"Once the Taiyuan Realm’s issues are solved, I should almost break through to complete eighth level!"

"Once I reach eighth level consummate and as long as no quasi-tenth level powerhouses emerge, no one can threaten me. Should I truly reach the ninth level, even facing a quasi-tenth level won’t put me at a disadvantage.

After all, I still possess two quasi-immortal artifacts!"

Gu Qingyang mused.

The Human Emperor Sword and Demon Emperor Bell, both treasures at half-step to the tenth level, boast unmatched power.

Coupled with the corresponding cultivation, it’s like adding wings to a tiger.

Now.

Gu Qingyang only awaits an opportunity, a genuine breakthrough opportunity.

Shaking his head.

Gu Qingyang decided not to think about the Divine Eye Empire.

Cyan Yang Divine Court is far from the Divine Eye Empire; even if they muster an army, it wouldn’t happen overnight.

So.

Gu Qingyang refocused his attention on the Taiyuan Realm.

If not for concern about the existence of Reincarnation Mahayana, Gu Qingyang would’ve likely taken action personally to subdue the entire Taiyuan Realm.

However.

He couldn’t act hastily now.

Since the exact number of Reincarnation Mahayana in the Taiyuan Realm is unknown.

Moreover.

Their peak strength levels remain a mystery to him as well.

If there truly exists a ninth-level peak Reincarnation Mahayana in the Taiyuan Realm, rash conflict with them now wouldn’t benefit the Cyan Yang Divine Court.

Currently, both sides are restraining themselves; ninth-level forces haven’t truly erupted. As long as the Cyan Yang Divine Court doesn’t have ninth-level combat power, the Taiyuan Realm likely won’t act recklessly.

Gu Qingyang suddenly realized everything hinged on timing.

Time is what Cyan Yang Divine Court is most lacking now.

"Let’s hope everything will be timely!"

Gu Qingyang thought to himself, his expression returning to calmness.

After transforming into the Heavenly Dao Divine Tree, even his temperament seemed to have changed; no longer as impatient as a human, he remained composed in any situation.

This state.

Had a sort of calmness like maintaining poise even if a mountain crumbles before him.

...

At this moment.

In the Taiyuan Realm.

With the return of many strong figures from Ancient Secret Realms, a tremendous storm was stirred immediately.

First.

Several Tribulation Stage powerhouses from Demonic Sect appeared, only to find out their sects were suppressed entirely by the Blood Transformation Demon Sect, becoming what was called the Celestial Demon Sacred Land, these Tribulation Stage powerhouses were furious.

Without thinking.

They all headed to the Blood Transformation Demon Sect.

Their goal was simple, to make the Blood Transformation Ancestor understand that not just anyone could become the Demon Sect Leader.

However——

With the Blood Transformation Ancestor’s intervention, all the Tribulation Stage powerhouses from these sects were invariably suppressed.

Among them.

Even included a consummate Tribulation Stage existence.

"You are about to break into the Mahayana Stage!"

Shangguan Potian, blood trickling from his lips, gazed at the Blood Transformation Ancestor clad in a blood robe, newly restored to youthful appearance, with unmistakable shock in his eyes.

As the Supreme Elder of the Netherworld Sect, Shangguan Potian had already broken into the later stage of Tribulation Stage hundreds of years ago, later obtaining opportunities in the Ancient Secret Realm, allowing him to break through to consummate Tribulation Stage in one go.

In this era when Mahayana powerhouses don’t emerge, Shangguan Potian considered himself an apex contemporary powerhouse.

Yet unexpected.

His very first battle after emerging from the Ancient Secret Realm ended in crushing defeat.

Moreover.

It was a crushing defeat even when joining forces with other Tribulation Stage powerhouses.

Recalling the previous battle, Shangguan Potian’s heart trembled.

Crushing defeat!

Utterly helpless crushing defeat!

This was something Shangguan Potian had never encountered.

The other Tribulation Stage powerhouses looked at the Blood Transformation Ancestor with the same shock in their eyes.

Upon hearing.

The Blood Transformation Ancestor smiled slightly: "I haven’t yet broken through to the Mahayana Stage, but I am close. Now I am giving you a choice, to submit to me or die here?"

With this statement, silence fell among them.

Ultimately.

Under the Blood Transformation Ancestor’s overwhelming pressure, Shangguan Potian and other powerhouses could only lower their heads.
