Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree

Therefore.

When the Immortal King Sect intended to attack the Celestial Demon Sacred Land, the first to respond were those sects.

The remaining sects also followed suit one after another.

No matter what.

The Immortal King Sect is the current alliance leader.

Additionally, with the emergence of a newly ascended Mahayana stage cultivator, the Immortal King Sect has unmistakably taken the lead of the Righteous Dao.

In such circumstances, when the Immortal King Sect issued a command, they naturally could not turn a blind eye.

...

While the Taiyuan Realm was meticulously preparing, Gu Qingyang was also silently observing everything in the Taiyuan Realm.

He initially thought one of the two might fail during the tribulation crossing, but unexpectedly, both succeeded.

The emergence of two Mahayana stage cultivators.

The negative impact is evident.

The power of the Heavenly Dao in the Taiyuan Realm inexplicably increased, causing my own advantage in the battle against the Heavenly Dao to start to waver and be contested.

However.

The benefits are equally apparent.

With two ninth-tier powerhouses appearing, one from each of the Righteous and Demon Dao, it’s destined for a life-and-death battle to erupt between the two forces, with countless strong individuals falling in the conflict.

For the entire Taiyuan Realm, it’s a form of indirect weakening.

Currently.

The Cyan Yang Divine Court is similarly strategizing.

All high-level members are making preparations, hoping to reap the benefits when the two forces clash.

However.

This endeavor is not without its challenges.

After all, such a war involves the Mahayana stage.

Ninth-tier powerhouses, no matter where they are, are truly top-notch existences.

Even severely injured ninth-tiers are not something below ninth-tier can contend with; to profit under such powerhouses’ noses is no simple task.

Moreover.

The two Mahayana stage cultivators are only what’s apparent on the surface.

Secretly, reincarnated Mahayana stage cultivators are also watching.

In any case.

For the Cyan Yang Divine Court to truly gain benefits is no easy task.

Yet—

Gu Qingyang’s gaze fell upon the Immortal Extinction Realm.

The Immortal King Sacred Land is now shrouded in an extremely terrifying aura, with various anomalies appearing in heaven and earth, as if something extremely dreadful is about to emerge.

"It seems our Cyan Yang Divine Court will also have an additional ninth-tier powerhouse!"

Gu Qingyang had a smile playing on his lips.

Wu Peng was in seclusion, breaking through the ninth-tier and striking the Emperor Realm; Gu Qingyang was well aware of this.

But whether Wu Peng will actually succeed, Gu Qingyang wasn’t certain either.

Looking at the current scene, it appears that Wu Peng is almost about to take the final step.

Ironically.

Previously, the Immortal King Sect had produced a ninth-tier powerhouse, now the Immortal King Sacred Land is about to produce a Great Emperor powerhouse.

The two events are coincidentally aligned.

As if verifying Gu Qingyang’s words, the Immortal King Sacred Land suddenly quaked, with a terrifying blood qi power surging towards the sky, shaking the heavens and gathering countless thunders, seemingly desiring to obliterate everything.

Within the Immortal King Sacred Land, all powerhouses looked up at the sky with reverence, yet even more so with joy.

"The Great Emperor’s Celestial Tribulation!"

"Our Immortal King Sacred Land is finally about to produce a Great Emperor powerhouse!"

"Heaven bless our Immortal King Sacred Land—"

Some ancient Quasi-Emperors wept with joy, while new Saints were exuberantly joyful; even the freshly appointed seventh-tier Immortal King Saint Master was visibly excited, his entire body trembling slightly.

The Great Emperor!

What an ancient existence this is for the Immortal King Sacred Land.

The Immortal King Sacred Land was a Great Emperor-level influence during the Desolate Ancient period.

Since the fall of the first Immortal King Great Emperor, the Immortal King Sect hasn’t produced a second Great Emperor powerhouse.

From the Desolate Ancient period to the present.

At least several million years have passed.

In other words.

The Immortal King Sacred Land hasn’t produced a Great Emperor powerhouse for at least several million years.

An era.

Tens of thousands of years.

The Immortal King Sacred Land has declined for several hundred eras.

Relying on the foundation of the first generation Great Emperor, the Immortal King Sacred Land has struggled to sustain itself until now, with the once-great Emperor’s foundation almost completely exhausted.

If not for the many emerging Quasi-Emperors over the years, the Immortal King Sacred Land might have long been destroyed in great disasters.

Yet.

Quasi-Emperors, regardless, remain just Quasi-Emperors. Without truly proving a Great Emperor, revitalizing the entire Immortal King Sacred Land is impossible.

Currently.

Wu Peng drawing a Great Emperor powerhouse indicates they are about to prove their path successfully.

This event is bound to excite the Immortal King Saint Master.

Space shattered.

A grand figure stepped forth through the air.

The individual left the Immortal King Sacred Land altogether, arriving in a wilderness mountain range, and the celestial tribulation vanished from over the Immortal King Sacred Land.

On the mountain peak.

Wu Peng’s blood surged skyward, and the previously ancient and declining aura was completely gone, a vast, blood-red energy appeared, and his hair turned jet black, with his eyes filled with extreme battle intent.

"Great Emperor Celestial Tribulation, come, let heaven and earth assist my path to the Great Emperor!"

The voice roared with fury, shaking the clouds.

The celestial tribulation seemed to respond to Wu Peng’s words, unleashing terrifying thunders all of a sudden.

The celestial tribulation poured like a waterfall.

Thunders rampaged.

One could see virtual silhouettes of ancient Great Emperors being birthed within the thunders, heading towards Wu Peng to obliterate him.

This is the Great Emperor’s Celestial Tribulation.

Not only possessing the might of heaven and earth.

But also drawing upon ancient Great Emperor’s power imprints left within the heavens, to suppress the tribulation crosser.

Wu Peng’s muscles rose like coiled dragons, consolidating the surging blood qi upon himself, a divine mace appeared in his hand, and with a swing, the bronze-colored divine mace shattered space, violently exploding an Emperor’s phantom.

The terrifying thunders exploded.

The dissipating power flowed into Wu Peng’s body, causing his blood qi to tremble as if undergoing a profound transformation.

"Kill!"

Wu Peng roared, wielding the bronze divine mace against space, utterly unafraid of the celestial tribulation’s power.

...

When Wu Peng was crossing the tribulation, all the powerhouses of the Immortal Extinction Realm turned their gaze toward the direction of the Immortal King Sacred Land.

The Great Emperor’s Celestial Tribulation is unlike any other.

The entire Immortal Extinction Realm was stirred by its power.

When they witnessed the grand figure bathed in thunders, fighting against multitudes of ancient Great Emperor phantoms, their pupils contracted rapidly, their hearts trembled suddenly.

"The Great Emperor’s Celestial Tribulation!"

"Wu Peng is about to prove the Great Emperor—"

The Great Emperor has always been their goal.

Yet Great Emperors are seldom born.

Many eras have exhausted their entire foundations, only barely nurturing a single Great Emperor powerhouse, it’s only in the most glorious periods like the Forbidden Ancient that more than one Great Emperor could emerge in a single era.

After ancient times.

Only one Great Emperor per era.

So when witnessing Wu Peng proving the Dao, many Quasi-Emperors were spiritually shaken.

They even doubted.

If Wu Peng succeeds, do they still have hope of proving the Great Emperor themselves.

However—

With the Great Emperor’s Celestial Tribulation already here, no one can impede it.

Especially when witnessing the tribulation’s power, many Quasi-Emperors were secretly terrified.

"The Great Emperor’s Celestial Tribulation in the Immortal Extinction Realm is not comparable to the Taiyuan Realm’s Mahayana stage tribulation, it should be due to differences in cultivation systems or world laws, hence the differing celestial tribulations!"

Gu Qingyang observed the Great Emperor’s Celestial Tribulation in the Immortal Extinction Realm, and this tribulation’s power—let alone the Immortal King Sect—was a notch above even the Blood Transformation Demon Sect’s Celestial Punishment.

However.

The more terrifying the ninth-tier tribulation’s power, the more it signified that upon successfully passing the tribulation, the individual’s power would be even stronger.

Witnessing the Great Emperor’s Celestial Tribulation with his own eyes, Gu Qingyang finally understood why each Great Emperor emerging in the Immortal Extinction Realm would be dubbed invincible.

It isn’t simply that ninth-tier surpasses eighth-tier’s undefeatedness, but being considered invincible even among the same tier.

Gu Qingyang had no doubt.

If Wu Peng succeeded in crossing his tribulation, could he, in comparable strength, suppress the Mahayana stage powerhouses of the Taiyuan Realm.

Of course.

This doesn’t imply that the cultivation system of the Immortal Extinction Realm is necessarily stronger than that of the Taiyuan Realm.

Simpler tribulation crossing has its advantages.

And the difficulty of tribulation crossing also presents its own downsides.

Currently.

It remains to be seen if Wu Peng can truly withstand the Great Emperor’s Celestial Tribulation.

If he fails in crossing the tribulation, then there’s nothing more to say, but if he succeeds at this critical juncture, the future actions of the Cyan Yang Divine Court will be much more convenient.
