Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree

"In that case, my cultivation should greatly advance!"

...

At this moment.

The Ancient Celestial Demon has emerged.

The terrifying Demon’s Might seemed to envelop the entire Taiyuan Realm.

The vast aura rampaged, causing the whole world to tremble.

Many ordinary people raised their heads to gaze at the sky, their faces filled with panic and a hint of curiosity about the unknown.

They didn’t understand what was happening.

They only instinctively sensed an ominous presence.

At the Cyan Yang Divine Court.

All the high-ranking officials gathered here.

Everyone’s expression was more solemn than ever, with visible shock and fear in their eyes.

"Is what the Divine Emperor said true? Is a twelve-level powerhouse really emerging in the Taiyuan Realm?"

Someone barely swallowed, speaking with an uncontrollable tone of shock.

Twelve-level!

What kind of concept is that!

The strongest in the Cyan Yang Divine Court is only at the ninth level, a full three levels below the twelfth level.

This is like the gap between the ninth level and the sixth level.

In front of a ninth-level powerhouse, a simple breath could slay a sixth-level cultivator.

Moreover.

The higher the cultivation level, the greater the gap between each realm.

The gap between the twelfth level and the ninth level is probably even larger than between the ninth and sixth levels.

Now that someone tells them a twelve-level powerhouse has emerged in the Taiyuan Realm, how can they not be shocked?

Even Gu Fang, Ji Xuan, and the others found it difficult to remain calm at this moment.

There’s no way around it.

A twelfth-level powerhouse is completely beyond the limits of what they can currently contend with.

If anyone in the Cyan Yang Divine Court could possibly deal with a twelfth-level powerhouse, it could only be the Divine Emperor.

Wu Peng said, "In the starry sky, the ninth level is a Great Emperor. If one can step into the tenth level, it is the legendary realm of the Longevity Immortal, but to this day, I have not heard of anyone reaching such a level.

Therefore, since ancient times, the ninth level has been the limit.

Even in the Immortal Extinction Realm, the Desolate Ancient Human Emperor and the Demon Race’s Ancient Demon Emperor stopped at the ninth level, never truly breaking through to the tenth level.

Now that a twelfth-level powerhouse has appeared, such an existence must be the legendary immortal, and definitely not an ordinary immortal.

In the face of an immortal, all beings are ants. The Divine Emperor ordered others to evacuate the Taiyuan Realm to avoid unnecessary casualties. Even if that awakened twelfth-level powerhouse has not fully recovered to their prime, their strength cannot be underestimated!"

As he spoke, a glint of uncontainable fervor appeared in the eyes of this newly ascended Great Emperor.

When Wu Peng first heard of the emergence of a twelfth-level powerhouse, what he felt wasn’t fear, but an indescribable excitement.

That’s right.

Excitement.

What does the emergence of a twelfth-level powerhouse signify?

It signifies the true existence of immortals.

The realm that past Great Emperors tirelessly sought is not mere illusion.

Originally.

Wu Peng had little confidence in the existence of immortals. It was only after meeting Gu Qingyang that his belief was strengthened. Now, with the emergence of the Ancient Celestial Demon, he was completely convinced.

Immortals!

Not illusory!

Since the Ancient Celestial Demon could reach the twelfth level, why couldn’t he achieve such heights too?

"It is said that breaking through to the tenth level allows one to achieve longevity. According to records from the Immortal Extinction Realm, immortals haven’t appeared for hundreds of millions of years, suggesting that this immortal in the Taiyuan Realm may be an even more ancient existence.

Therefore, the words ’longevity’ are not just empty promises!"

Wu Peng paused, then continued.

How many years can a Great Emperor live?

Mere thousands of years.

The lifespan of a dignified Great Emperor powerhouse is not even ten thousand years, completely unrelated to longevity.

But now.

The appearance of an ancient Celestial Demon, indicating a truly ancient and long-lived existence, confirms longevity beyond any doubt.

Upon hearing Wu Peng’s words, the shock on others’ faces also lessened slightly, with fervor in their eyes as well.

Who doesn’t desire longevity?

Now, a genuine immortal has appeared, and one supposedly having lived countless ages—its significance is self-evident.

"According to the Divine Emperor, this immortal was sealed for countless ages and is now in a weakened state, not at its peak strength..."

Wu Peng’s gaze turned profound as he spoke.

If it were an immortal at their peak, he would leave without a word.

After all, Wu Peng knew well the gap between a Great Emperor and an immortal.

However.

If it were a weakened immortal, that would be a different story.

Though the gap between a Great Emperor and an immortal is vast, it’s not entirely impossible to contend.

However.

Wu Peng had no reckless intention to challenge an immortal.

According to Gu Qingyang’s intentions, he would wait for the right moment, observing the unfolding situation.

This strategy of waiting and observing was quite apparent.

Perhaps.

Wu Peng might truly have a chance to slay an immortal.

"Since the Divine Emperor has given the order, we should evacuate first. With the appearance of an immortal, the Taiyuan Realm is destined to become a battlefield. Those below the ninth level are likely just ants and cannon fodder.

Rather than stay here and die needlessly, it’s better to evacuate and preserve what lives we can!"

Ji Xuan said solemnly.

The others nodded in agreement at these words.

...

At this moment.

The news of the immortal leaked.

The entire Cyan Yang Divine Court was shaken.

At the same time.

An official order was issued, instructing all cultivators in the Taiyuan Realm to withdraw to the Cyan Yang Realm.

Nobody defied this order.

After all, with the legendary immortal’s appearance, the ensuing situation in the Taiyuan Realm was predictable.

As the Cyan Yang Divine Court retreated, there was still overwhelming Demon’s Might above the Blood Transformation Demon Sect.

Many cultivators practicing the Celestial Demon True Technique suddenly felt their own blood and energy out of control, their bodies exploding in the next breath, their pure essence blood flowing toward the Ancient Celestial Demon.

This scene.

Made the Blood Transformation Ancestor grit his teeth with eyes wide.

The blood qi power surging within him was also boiling, but he forcibly suppressed it.

By this time, if the Blood Transformation Ancestor still didn’t realize something was wrong with the Celestial Demon True Technique, he’d be a fool.

"Who exactly are you!"

The Blood Transformation Ancestor growled through clenched teeth.

The Ancient Celestial Demon’s crimson eyes gazed at him with a chilling laugh, "I am Demon Venerable Xuan Yin. You were once a mere Void Refining ant. Had I not bestowed upon you the Celestial Demon True Technique, how could you have glimpsed the splendor of the Mahayana Stage?

I made you what you are then, and now it’s your turn to sacrifice yourself and lend me a hand!"

Demon Venerable Xuan Yin’s words cast another shadow over the Blood Transformation Ancestor’s heart.

At this moment.

Demon Venerable Xuan Yin directly attacked, a scarlet palm suppressing the void, covering heaven and earth alike. Facing such power, the Blood Transformation Ancestor felt as if a mountain weighed down on him, making his Divine Soul and blood tremble.

The might of the Ancient Celestial Demon.

Was evident.

However.

The Blood Transformation Ancestor was, after all, a Mahayana Stage powerhouse. Even in the face of Demon Venerable Xuan Yin’s strike, he had no intention of surrendering. Power surged from the Celestial Demon True Body, condensing countless forces into a black Divine Spear.

"You want to devour me? Let’s see if you have the power!"

The Blood Transformation Ancestor roared, the black Divine Spear tearing through the world, fiercely striking the scarlet palm.

The two forces collided, the scarlet palm trembling slightly as if showing signs of being torn apart by the black Divine Spear. But in the next breath, an even more massive force burst forth, shattering the black Divine Spear instantly.

The scarlet palm grasped him, and the Blood Transformation Ancestor was instantly engulfed by this force.

Boom!

Rumble!

A powerful shockwave erupted within the scarlet palm, as if something inside struggled violently, until finally, Demon Venerable Xuan Yin clenched fiercely, and the struggling force vanished.

A surge of supremely pure blood qi entered Demon Venerable Xuan Yin, making his body seem more solid.

In the next moment.

The demonic shadow dissipated.

A mid-aged man, clad in a blood-black robe, with features similar to an ordinary person but with eyes reddened like blood-soaked rubies, appeared in the void.
