Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree

"Hmm?"

Just as the mysterious changes in the forbidden land of the Blood Transformation Demon Sect were discovered, Gu Qingyang, viewing from a believer’s perspective, involuntarily looked towards the direction of the forbidden land.

Among the many cultivators possessed by the bloodstained power, there were also cultivators from the Cyan Yang Divine Court.

"This power... is somewhat bizarre!"

Gu Qingyang’s expression was slightly serious.

The moment they were possessed by the bloodstained power, an extremely strange force gradually erased the believers’ faith, as if their Divine Souls were being invisibly annihilated.

Before Gu Qingyang could intervene to stop it, the Faith Threads representing the believers entirely broke apart.

The Faith Threads snapped.

Indicating the believers no longer believed in him.

In this way.

Gu Qingyang had no means of observing things from the perspective of those believers anymore.

At that moment.

Gu Qingyang switched once again to another believer’s perspective.

A believer had infiltrated the Blood Transformation Demon Sect but luckily wasn’t possessed by the bloodstained power, allowing him to see the chaos inside the sect.

Seeing another wave of bloodstained power approaching, Gu Qingyang furrowed his brows and released a bit of power, forming a layer of golden light on the surface of the emaciated cultivator, firmly protecting him.

The moment the bloodstained power touched the golden light, it emitted hissing sounds, and then, under the astonished gaze of the emaciated cultivator, the bloodstained power slowly faded away.

Upon seeing this.

The emaciated cultivator’s face showed relief, as if surviving a catastrophe.

"Thank you, Divine Emperor!"

From the emanating golden light, he sensed a familiar aura—one that all believers would recognize.

This aura.

Originated from the Divine Emperor.

Now that the bloodstained power was bizarre, plunging the entire Blood Transformation Demon Sect into chaos, he saw with his own eyes many familiar faces possessed by the bloodstained power, turning them into puppet-like beings, and naturally felt immense fear.

But now, with the Divine Emperor’s protection, much of that fear dissipated.

In no time.

This believer’s level of faith drastically rose, shooting from a True Believer to the level of Fanatic Believer.

Meanwhile.

Gu Qingyang wasn’t idle either.

Since he had already intervened, he didn’t mind protecting a few more believers.

There weren’t many believers in the Blood Transformation Demon Sect to start with, and with those possessed by the bloodstained power earlier on, only a dozen or so remained. Gu Qingyang released a bit of Divine Power over each, shielding them against the strange bloodstained power.

Though the bloodstained power was strange and unpredictable, its strength wasn’t too high. Gu Qingyang didn’t need to exert much power to fend it off.

"Go into the forbidden land and take a look!"

At that moment, a voice appeared in the mind of the first believer at the command of Gu Qingyang.

Upon hearing this, the man was momentarily startled, a trace of fear appearing on his face, but he quickly calmed himself.

Though the forbidden land was terrifying, with the Divine Emperor’s protection, what was there to fear? Should any real danger arise, the Divine Emperor would inevitably handle it.

With this thought.

The man took a deep breath and resolutely headed towards the forbidden land.

He didn’t hide his presence; adorned in golden light, hiding was impossible. Wherever he went, he drew attention. Ordinarily, the strict defenses of the forbidden land would have made entry impossible.

But now, with the entire Blood Transformation Demon Sect in turmoil, nothing seemed out of reach.

However.

When the emaciated cultivator stepped into the forbidden land’s boundary, he found himself suddenly surrounded; those encircling him were possessed by the bloodstained power.

Among them, the weakest’s cultivation didn’t warrant mentioning, but the strongest wielded power no less than the sixth level. The emaciated cultivator himself was only at the fifth level. Faced with so many formidable beings, a strained smile appeared on his face.

"Please, Divine Emperor, help me!"

Now, he could only plead for assistance from Gu Qingyang.

The moment his voice fell, the emaciated cultivator saw golden light manifesting before him—a talisman appeared.

As he grasped the talisman, information flooded his mind.

"Ah, a seventh-level talisman!"

The emaciated cultivator gasped in surprise, eyes burning as he looked at the talisman in his hand.

A seventh-level talisman!

To a fifth-level cultivator, it was a precious Supreme Treasure.

A seventh-level talisman could approximate the strike of a seventh-level expert, often capable of turning the tide.

For a moment, the emaciated cultivator considered keeping the talisman safe and forcing his way through based on his own strength, but observing his surroundings, he let go of the idea.

What a joke.

In such an encirclement, forget a fifth-level cultivator, even breaking through to the sixth level would likely mean no escape.

Seeing other cultivators ready to attack him, the emaciated man gritted his teeth and channeled his power into the talisman. In the next instant, the talisman ignited without wind, and terrifying flames swept forth, turning everything in sight into a sea of fire, engulfing all the cultivators.

Rumble!

The fiery ocean soared into the sky.

Ravaging everything.

When the terrifying heatwave rushed towards him, the emaciated cultivator broke out in a sweat, catching a whiff of death.

As the sea of fire gradually subsided, he saw that all the cultivators who had trapped him had vanished without a trace, with only ashes on the ground marking their former existence.

"So... so strong!"
