Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree

"Boom!"

The Celestial Tribulation was nearing its end, as the Great Emperor Illusion suppressed the void, and that terrifying power caused the entire Immortal Extinction Realm to bear the pressure.

As the target of the Celestial Tribulation, Wu Peng was drenched in blood, his physical body shattered and broken, yet he stood with a straight back. His fierce battle spirit not only showed no signs of weakening but grew even more intense.

"Kill!"

Wu Peng roared in fury.

The Divine Mace of Bronze shone with brilliant divine light.

This Supreme Treasure was originally at the level of a Quasi-Emperor, and now under the refinement of the Celestial Tribulation and stained with Wu Peng’s blood, it was gradually showing signs of transformation.

Certainly.

It was not only the Divine Mace of Bronze that was in the midst of transforming; Wu Peng himself was as well.

As the Great Emperor Illusion shattered, the Celestial Tribulation bizarrely paused for a moment, and then an extraordinarily majestic figure was born. The emperor’s aura was vast like an abyss, seemingly capable of suppressing the heavens and earth for eternity.

Compared to other Great Emperor Illusions, the power of this illusion appeared significantly more terrifying.

The other Great Emperor Illusions under the influence of the Celestial Tribulation only belonged to the eighth tier limit, even at the level of a half-step Great Emperor, but the illusion before them had completely transcended the scope of a Quasi-Emperor.

In other words.

The illusion before them was that of a true Great Emperor Powerhouse.

"Desolate Ancient Human Emperor!"

Wu Peng’s expression was incredibly solemn.

The final hurdle of the Great Emperor Celestial Tribulation was the Desolate Ancient Human Emperor.

To be precise.

The Demon Race crossing the tribulation faced the Ancient Demon Emperor, while the Human Race faced the Desolate Ancient Human Emperor.

The Ancient Demon Emperor was the first Great Emperor of the Demon Race and historically the strongest Demon Emperor. The Desolate Ancient Human Emperor was similarly so.

Upon witnessing the appearance of the Desolate Ancient Human Emperor, Wu Peng understood that his Tribulation Crossing had reached a critical moment.

"Boom!"

The Desolate Ancient Human Emperor’s illusion appeared without a word, and with one palm, it suppressed the void, its terrifying power causing the Great Dao to collapse, with a thousand miles of void seemingly plunging into endless darkness.

The majestic Emperor’s Might descended like a mountainous avalanche.

Wu Peng’s expression was incredibly grave.

Even if what lay before him was only the illusion of the Desolate Ancient Human Emperor, it was a powerhouse at the Great Emperor level. The final challenge of the Great Emperor Celestial Tribulation was to defeat the power imprint left behind by the Desolate Ancient Human Emperor, only then could one truly succeed.

However.

A cultivator is not truly transformed to the Great Emperor level until the Tribulation Crossing is fully complete.

In such circumstances.

The difficulty in defeating an illusion equivalent to a Great Emperor can be imagined.

This is what makes the Great Emperor Celestial Tribulation the most perilous.

If not crossed.

Then it means death.

So at the moment the Desolate Ancient Human Emperor took action, Wu Peng immediately swallowed the Elixir he held in his mouth, and the boundless energy erupted in his abdomen. The purest life force emerged, instantly restoring much of his previous tribulation consumption and injuries.

Such Elixirs.

Are the Supreme Treasures of the Immortal King Sacred Land.

Each one can bring the dead back to life and heal flesh and bones.

To ensure the success of the Tribulation Crossing, Wu Peng had naturally prepared long beforehand.

Upon consuming the Elixir.

Wu Peng’s strength returned to its peak.

He took a step into the void, and the Divine Mace of Bronze contained terrifying pressure. The immensely powerful Gang Qi shattered the void for miles around, fiercely striking toward the Desolate Ancient Human Emperor.

Boom!

Boom! Boom!

The two majestic figures battled in the void, the vast divine power emanating from their confrontation causing the Great Dao to shatter, and the rules of heaven and earth to tremble unceasingly. Many powerhouses witnessing this scene couldn’t help but shudder.

Strong!

Incredibly strong to a terrifying degree!

Whether it was the current Wu Peng or the imprint of the Desolate Ancient Human Emperor, neither could be contended with by these observers.

Even the battle’s aftermath alone could make a Quasi-Emperor level cultivator fall, and even the Quasi-Emperor powerhouse could barely withstand it.

This is the power at the Great Emperor level.

Although Wu Peng had not fully completed his transformation, he was just a step away from reaching the Great Emperor.

The battle between the two.

The terrifying power rampaged.

Mountains collapsed.

Rivers ceased to flow.

The power at the Great Emperor level is truly world-destroying to the entire world.

From the very start.

Wu Peng found himself at a disadvantage.

Continuously coughing up blood under the suppression of the Desolate Ancient Human Emperor’s illusion.

However.

Wu Peng had long been prepared.

Consuming large amounts of Elixirs, he forcibly used their power for self-recovery, then continued to fight fiercely with the Desolate Ancient Human Emperor’s illusion.

The former had Elixir replenishments, while the illusion’s power was like a rootless duckweed, diminishing as it consumed more.

As time passed.

Wu Peng gradually began to close the gap.

This could be considered the thin thread of life that heaven and earth offered.

Without a valid witness to the truth of the Great Emperor’s might, it is nearly impossible to contend with a true Great Emperor.

If the Great Emperor Illusion’s power had been inexhaustible, it would be insurmountable for even a new Great Emperor, let alone a non-attested powerhouse, to defeat it.

Therefore.

The power of the Great Emperor Illusions within the Celestial Tribulation is always limited.

Precisely because of this.

Wu Peng found his thin thread of life.

As time passed.

Wu Peng gradually gained the upper hand.

With one powerful blow from the Divine Mace of Bronze shattering the illusion, a pure, ultimate power infused Wu Peng’s body, allowing his nearly transformed body to take the final step.

"Boom!"

The majestic Emperor’s Might swept through the heavens and earth, and a powerful force erupted from Wu Peng’s body. In an instant, celestial phenomena emerged, and all beings instinctively turned their gaze towards Wu Peng’s direction.

"Congratulations to the Great Emperor!"

The multitude worshipped.

This was the instinctual influence of the heavenly rules.

A Great Emperor has emerged.
