Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree

The shriveled cultivator’s body trembled, unsure if it was out of fear or excitement. This was the first time in his life using a seven-tier talisman, a power that he found unforgettable.

Not wasting too much time, the shriveled cultivator immediately delved deeper into the forbidden area.

Along the way, he saw no other cultivators blocking his path, as if those who had just tried to stop him had all been slain.

When he truly ventured into the depths of the forbidden area, the scene before his eyes caused the shriveled cultivator’s expression to change dramatically, his face turning deathly pale in an instant.

In his vision.

Many cultivators knelt on the ground, their blood completely drained, reduced to mummified corpses, eerily silent compared to the chaos outside.

Large amounts of blood outlined sinister patterns on the ground, with the towering bronze ancient tower emanating a blood-colored light, looking both eerie and terrifying.

As the shriveled cultivator witnessed this scene, Gu Qingyang saw it too.

"This power—"

At the sight of the bronze ancient tower, Gu Qingyang instinctively felt a sense of foreboding. At the same time, witnessing the power of the bronze ancient tower stirred within him a familiar feeling.

It was as if he had seen such a power somewhere before.

After a moment.

Gu Qingyang’s expression changed.

"Spiritual Forbidden Area!"

More accurately speaking.

It was the ancient Spiritual Forbidden Area within the Ancient Wilderness of the Immortal Extinction Realm.

When Gu Qingyang first entered the Spiritual Forbidden Area, he had foreseen the red-haired corpse demon comparable to a Great Emperor. The power contained within the corpse demon bore some resemblance to that of the bronze ancient tower before him.

"Why does the Ancient Wilderness’ Spiritual Forbidden Area have a connection to the Taiyuan Realm?"

Gu Qingyang fell into deep thought.

The occurrence of such a situation between two unrelated worlds took him by surprise.

This power gave Gu Qingyang a sense of ominousness.

Just then, the bronze ancient tower trembled, and a more terrifying blood-colored power surged forth, threatening to completely engulf the shriveled cultivator.

Upon witnessing this, Gu Qingyang knitted his brows and immediately shielded the cultiavtor with pure Divine Power, unleashing a supreme golden light to counter the blood-colored power, forcing it to retreat.

"Go!"

Gu Qingyang’s voice echoed in his mind, and the shriveled cultivator dared not linger, hurriedly turning to run.

The moment that blood-colored power surged forward, the shriveled cultivator nearly thought he would perish there. If not for Gu Qingyang’s timely intervention, he feared he would have met the same fate as the others.

Watching the shriveled cultivator flee, the bronze ancient tower quivered slightly but did not strike again.

Moments later.

A cold, eerie voice resonated within the forbidden area.

"Such pure Faith Power, a phenomenon I have never heard of, it seems the foundation of this world is not so simple. But it doesn’t matter; once I break the seal and emerge, no one in this world can stop me!"

After the voice faded.

The bronze ancient tower vibrated violently, releasing more blood-colored power that broke through the seal, encompassing the entire Blood Transformation Demon Sect.

Faced with this blood-colored power, even Void Refining cultivators found it difficult to resist, all being possessed by the power, willingly heading towards the forbidden area to sacrifice themselves.

...

"Boom!"

Two powers collided in the void, as Master Gu Ming and the Chemical Ancestor’s battle reached a fever pitch. Both were Mahayana Stage cultivators, and after a ferocious struggle, they found neither could defeat the other.

Suddenly.

The Blood Transformation Ancestor noticed the anomaly within the Blood Transformation Demon Sect, a foreboding sense rising in his heart.

The blood-colored power engulfing the entire sect made him feel as if he had witnessed something terrifying, his blood seemingly trembling with fear.

"Boom!"

At that moment of distraction, Master Gu Ming broke through the Demonic Qi with a palm strike, instantly hitting the opponent.

At the crucial moment, the Blood Transformation Ancestor reacted swiftly, channeling True Qi to defend, blocking most of the power, but the remaining force still propelled his body backward instantly.

"Damn it!"

Blood seeped from the corner of the Blood Transformation Ancestor’s mouth, his gaze at Master Gu Ming filled with icy killing intent.

But before he could make another move, a skyward blast of golden light appeared, a colossal rune manifested in the Azure Sky, attracting the attention of all cultivators.

Even the Blood Transformation Ancestor and Master Gu Ming instinctively halted their actions, looking toward the direction of the ascending golden light.

Within that golden rune, both felt the vast majestic force. Even having broken through the Mahayana Stage, they couldn’t help but feel insignificance rising within them.

This change.

Caused the two of them to turn pale.

They understood well.

They were Mahayana Stage cultivators, the pinnacle of existence in this world.

In any era, achieving the Mahayana Stage made one an absolute peak cultivator.

Yet now.

A single golden rune made them feel insignificant, illustrating the terror of this golden rune.

"Could it be an immortal!"

This thought surfaced in Master Gu Ming’s mind.

If not the legendary immortal, how could it have such might?

Considering the direction of the golden light’s emergence from within the Blood Transformation Demon Sect, Master Gu Ming instantly realized.

No wonder the Blood Transformation Ancestor’s power skyrocketed so quickly; it turns out he received an immortal’s legacy, explaining his astounding advancement.

Immortals are supreme beings.

In the eyes of many cultivators, such beings are mere legends. Even Master Gu Ming found it difficult to fathom their depths, but he could vaguely understand their fearsome nature from the golden rune.

At this moment.

The golden light suddenly shattered.

A deafening sound seemed to echo across the skies, as the bronze ancient tower, which had stood for countless ages, suddenly exploded, blood energy soaring to the Azure Sky, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.

Thunder rolled across Qingming, as if the heavens and earth were raging or perhaps trembling in fear.

"The forbidden seal is broken!"

Upon seeing this, the Blood Transformation Ancestor’s expression turned even grimmer, a rare panic surfacing in his heart.

He had always dreaded the existence sealed within the bronze ancient tower.

After all, the Celestial Demon True Technique taught by that entity was already terrifying, suggesting the power of the being confined within was unimaginable.

Thus.

The Blood Transformation Ancestor never intended for it to break free from the seal.

But now.

The bronze ancient tower was shattered.

Indicating the being had completely emerged.

The moment overwhelming blood energy and terrifying heavenly phenomena appeared, the Blood Transformation Ancestor’s sense of panic intensified, feeling as if some dreadful existence had locked its gaze on him.

In response.

The Blood Transformation Ancestor forcefully suppressed the terror in his heart.

He knew he was already a Mahayana Stage cultivator, perched at the peak of this world. Though the entity from within the bronze ancient tower was immensely fearsome, having been sealed away for countless ages, it couldn’t retain much power.

At this instant.

Blood energy surged to the sky.

A terrifying force radiated out.

Immediately.

A fearsome demonic shadow took shape in the void, seemingly towering over heaven and earth, its eyes like suspended sun and moon. In the instant everyone met those eyes, an endless dread filled their hearts.

"What is that thing!"

The top experts from each sect were aghast, and even the once-highly respected Tribulation Stage cultivators felt their Divine Souls shivering.

Within the Yin Yang Demon Sect.

Yuan Shendao could no longer maintain his composure, his pupils filled with shock.

"Why is this power so terrifying, what on earth is this entity!"

He trembled inwardly.

The terror of this power far exceeded even the peak of his past life.

Yuan Shendao never imagined the Taiyuan Realm harbored such a dreadful existence. The moment this power emerged, he knew the situation had spiraled beyond his control.

The master behind such power was certainly not simple.

Even Mahayana peak experts were probably far removed in strength.

"Daoist Taiyuan!"

"This is a power comparable to Daoist Taiyuan!"

Such thoughts surfaced in Yuan Shendao’s mind, and the possibility only deepened his panic.

Daoist Taiyuan!

The mightiest in all of Taiyuan Realm, an unparalleled presence for countless ages.

The advent of a supposed peer to Daoist Taiyuan brought consequences hard to fathom, leaving Yuan Shendao trembling with fear.
