Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree
Chapter 590 - 561: Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Venerable
The Wenda Sect has once again produced a strong Earth Immortal, causing a stir in the Cyan Yang Divine Realm.
Nowadays, those who can truly ascend to immortality are rare, and many factions don’t have a single immortal; a sect with an immortal as its overseer can well be considered a top transcendent force.
Currently.
Wenda Sect has two immortals overseeing it, and its momentum is growing ever stronger.
However.
The Divine Kingdom Celestial List ranking is imminent, so no one is paying much attention to this matter.
Therefore, after causing some ripples, it quickly settles down.
A year’s time.
In the blink of an eye.
On this day.
A dignified voice suddenly appeared in the minds of all cultivators.
"The Divine Kingdom Celestial List competition is about to begin. All who wish to observe or participate in the competition can exchange corresponding tokens in the Divine Kingdom store. Additionally, each tier of the Celestial List competition does not limit cultivation, welcoming talents from all corners!"
The voice went silent.
Then.
These cultivators opened the Divine Kingdom store and saw that it suddenly had two new items.
Celestial List Entry Token!
Celestial List Participation Token!
The contribution points required to exchange these tokens are not much, with the former costing 100 points of contribution and the latter costing 10,000 points of contribution.
Seeing this, most cultivators hesitated not at all and exchanged the corresponding tokens directly.
At the moment the token was activated, a radiant glow erupted from it, and mystical forces wrapped around each cultivator, causing their forms to instantly disappear from where they stood.
And at the same time.
In a realm of void, numerous vacant seats floated in the air, with the figures of cultivators appearing here.
"Where is this?"
"Could this place also be a part of the starry sky?"
The cultivators who appeared here all looked around in confusion, seeing only void, as the Cyan Yang Divine Realm governs dozens to hundreds of thousands of galaxies, appearing somewhere in the starry sky isn’t anything strange.
At this moment.
In the center of the void.
Divine light surged and infinite mysteries emerged within, then the space was intricately sliced and split, transforming into one miniature starry sky after another, with corresponding cultivators’ figures appearing inside.
"This is the Starry Sky of Ten Thousand Realms. Every cultivator participating in the Celestial List ranking will enter the Starry Sky of Ten Thousand Realms to compete with other cultivators; the victors can advance while the defeated have three chances to compete, progressing based on merit!"
"Note: The Starry Sky of Ten Thousand Realms won’t cause fatality. When it detects a cultivator facing a life-threatening that can’t be resisted, it will automatically teleport them out, and being teleported out signifies competition failure!"
In the minds of the multitude of cultivators, corresponding information unfolded.
Immediately.
All cultivators showed an understanding expression.
Starry Sky of Ten Thousand Realms!
The scenery constructing an endless starry sky before them was clearly the Starry Sky of Ten Thousand Realms mentioned in the Divine Kingdom announcement; looking out one could see miniature starry skies densely packed, almost infinitely vast.
Yet when a cultivator focused their sight a little longer on a particular starry sky, the scene of the starry sky enlarged infinitely, as if one was personally situated within, providing a nearly firsthand viewing experience.
Moreover.
Using the entry token in their hand, they could input the name of a corresponding cultivator to directly locate the starry sky where that cultivator was situated.
For a moment.
The multitude of cultivators felt astounded by these methods.
"Boom!"
The void trembled.
The cultivators on the countless seats instinctively looked up, gazing toward the top of the Starry Sky of Ten Thousand Realms, where several golden lists floated, with the names of the lists at the very top.
Seventh-tier Celestial List!
Eighth-tier Celestial List!
Ninth-tier Celestial List!
Tenth-tier Celestial List!
...
Under each list was a blank space, evidently the Celestial List rankings have not yet begun, so naturally no names have appeared yet.
"Starry Sky of Ten Thousand Realms!"
The Cyan Emperor gazed at the cultivators before him, between them a thin layer of golden light existed, the light seemed illusory and would disperse at a touch, yet it contained terrifying power, beyond ordinary forces’ ability to shake.
The Cyan Emperor attempted to touch the golden light but found its robustness was beyond what he could break through at this stage.
From this, it was apparent that the golden light was exceedingly strong.
It could be easily understood that such means must originate from the esteemed Divine Emperor.
Just feeling the golden light one could sense that the opponent was unfathomable.
And due to the golden light’s obstruction, the Cyan Emperor couldn’t discern who exactly the other cultivator was.
A long wait.
Suddenly.
A voice entered the Cyan Emperor’s mind.
"The Divine Kingdom Celestial List ranking matches are now starting!"
As the voice fell.
The golden light before them instantly dissipated.
The Cyan Emperor also saw the appearance of the cultivator before him, who upon seeing the Cyan Emperor, had their pupils suddenly constrict, and then a wry smile surfaced.
"Unexpectedly, the first opponent I, the humble Taoist, face is the famous Cyan Emperor across the starry sky, but despite knowing I am no match for the Cyan Emperor, I still wish to learn your esteemed skills!"
"Please!"
The Cyan Emperor smiled lightly.
With these words.
That cultivator wasted no words, directly summoning an Immortal Sword; sword gleams flashing as they tore through the starry sky, an awe-inspiring tide of sword qi emerged, and with a single move, they bore down on the Cyan Emperor with a sky-obliterating might.
Though the other’s words expressed respect, their move showed no hesitation.
In fact.
Anyone able to ascend to immortality was no simple figure.
Now, attacking earnestly, naturally it was extremely formidable. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
The Cyan Emperor’s eyes slightly sharpened, their physical vitality surged like a divine sun ascending the sky; with a fierce punch, all methods dissolved.
Every sword qi and gleam shattered and dissipated under this punch.
Seeing this, the cultivator remained calm, forming a sword technique with their right hand, and in a flash the Immortal Sword splintered into ten thousand, thousands of Immortal Sword shadows coalesced from the void, transforming into a descending sword array.
Ten Thousand Swords hovered.
Sword qi rampaged.
Every Immortal Sword seemed almost real, a terrifying sword gleam flickering, chillingly radiant.
Simultaneously.
There was also a dreadful aura spreading from the sword array, immense slaughter power surged into the sky, shaking the hearts of cultivators.
"Well done!"
A long howl from the Cyan Emperor, blood vitality erupted, their body transformed into a towering mountain, fists shaking the sky, shattering the overwhelming sword gleams inch by inch, the immense sword array trembled violently, and each Immortal Sword disintegrated.
Frightening power rampaged unstoppably throughout the entire starry sky.
This scene.
Naturally fell into the eyes of many cultivators.
"Gasp, the Cyan Emperor deserves to be the first to ascend to immortality, such terrifying strength, were it me, I’m afraid I wouldn’t leave even a fragment in a single face-to-face!"
"The opponent of the Cyan Emperor isn’t weak either, if I’m not mistaken, that seems to be the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Venerable!"
"Correct, it’s rumored the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Venerable has condensed a medium-grade Immortal Body, and the Immortal Slaying Sword Array he created is astonishingly powerful; seeing him today truly confirms his reputation, but as it stands, there’s still a gap compared to the Cyan Emperor."
"It’s inevitable; it’s heard that the Cyan Emperor has long reached medium-grade tenth tier, while the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Venerable, though strong, is only at lower-grade tenth tier, some disparity is only natural..."
