Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 111: The True Monarch Appears

The bone-chilling frost suddenly erupted, as if capable of freezing space and time itself. The Daoist powerhouse unleashed all his strength, his overwhelming energy and blood as scorching and irresistible as a great furnace.

However—

In the face of this terrifyingly extreme frost, even the energy and blood of a fifth-tier Daoist was difficult to withstand.

The great day dimmed.

The energy and blood extinguished.

In no time, the opponent turned into an ice sculpture, completely immobilized.

Immediately after.

Shen Xue cast a Thunder Spell instantly, the powerful force fiercely striking the ice sculpture. In an instant, the sculpture shattered into pieces, and a fifth-tier Daoist powerhouse perished.

This sudden turn of events greatly alarmed one side of Ancient Wilderness, while greatly invigorating the spirits of Cyan Yang Divine Court.

"Snow Mountain Hall Master is formidable!"

"Such powerful strength, instantly killing a fifth-tier powerhouse, could this be a fifth-tier Forbidden Spell?"

"No... this is a fourth-tier top-grade Forbidden Spell, Eternal Ice Seal, but Hall Master Shen’s strength is evidently formidable, casting a fourth-tier top-grade Forbidden Spell to slay a fifth-tier powerhouse!"

A fellow fourth-tier Mage could observe that what Shen Xue cast wasn’t a fifth-tier Forbidden Spell, but a fourth-tier top-grade Forbidden Spell, Eternal Ice Seal.

It is precisely their understanding of the existence of Eternal Ice Seal that left these fourth-tier Mages so shocked.

Eternal Ice Seal is considered the pinnacle among fourth-tier Forbidden Spells. Even an ordinary fourth-tier Mage would be unable to cast it, no matter how much Magic Power they poured into it.

Even if they truly intended to cast it, it would require a long time for preparation, so quickly casting it as Shen Xue did with just a chant, almost like an instant cast, is simply incomparable.

Shen Xue’s ability to kill a fifth-tier powerhouse already proves the terrifying nature of her strength.

After taking down that fifth-tier powerhouse, Shen Xue instantly cast a fourth-tier lower-grade Gale Technique on herself, after which she vanished like a ghost, charging toward the perimeter outside the encirclement.

As the Hall Master of Snow Mountain Holy Hall, Shen Xue was thoroughly aware of the current situation.

Although she could slay a fifth-tier lower-grade powerhouse, within Ancient Wilderness there weren’t only fifth-tier lower-grade powerhouses but even those above fifth-tier.

If a sixth-tier powerhouse intervened, no matter how strong the Magic Spirit Divine Body was, it wouldn’t stand a chance.

The gap of two realm tiers, a sixth-tier powerhouse could effortlessly kill it.

So.

If the battle drags on, Cyan Yang Divine Court has no hope of victory.

Shen Xue didn’t forget the Divine Court’s purpose for this mission. After killing the fifth-tier powerhouse, she immediately broke through the encirclement, heading outside.

Just as Shen Xue was about to break away from the encirclement, a terrifyingly powerful aura erupted, the space cracking like a spider web, a majestic figure stepping through the air, with energy and blood as vast as the abyss, pressing down like a great mountain.

The power of this strike caused Shen Xue’s expression to change dramatically.

Without hesitation, she instantly cast a fourth-tier Spell, layers of ice power condensed around her, forming an indestructible barrier.

The next moment.

The palm imprinted on the Ice Barrier, the terrifying power erupted from the palm, shattering the Ice Barrier, capable of withstanding a strike from a fifth-tier powerhouse, into pieces.

The remaining force struck Shen Xue, causing her to plummet from mid-air.

"Pfft!"

Falling, Shen Xue coughed up a mouthful of blood, her charming face turning deathly pale.

The power of that palm plunged her into severe injury.

Black-gold robes came into view, with a rough face, long hair draped over, exuding an aura of defying heaven and earth.

"For a mere Dragon Transformation stage cultivator to withstand my strike and not die, your strength is indeed impressive. Would you be willing to submit to Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land? I might spare your life!"

Gu Tiangang looked at Shen Xue in front of him, his eyes flashing with a strange light.

During the last invasion of Cyan Yang Realm, he discovered that Cyan Yang Realm’s cultivation system was somewhat mixed, possessing both Ancient Wilderness’s Body Refining Techniques and other cultivation systems.

Gu Tiangang, after thirty years of seclusion, couldn’t breakthrough the last threshold, never reaching the realm above True Monarch.

This was due to the influence of Longevity Shackles, as well as the inherent difficulty in breaking through this realm.

If he could acquire other cultivation methods from Cyan Yang Realm, using his own body as a furnace, fusing various systems together, he might hope to comprehend the realm above True Monarch.

This was the reason Gu Tiangang didn’t immediately kill Shen Xue.

Of course.

There was also another reason.

Aptitude appreciation!

Clearly only at the Dragon Transformation level, yet able to slay a Daoist powerhouse and withstand his strike, only sustaining minor injuries, such potential was evident.

If he could recruit such a prodigy, it would undoubtedly strengthen Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land.

Even though Shen Xue came from Cyan Yang Realm, Ancient Wilderness had previously recruited people from other small worlds; as long as proper benefits were provided, there was no worry of betrayal.

Besides.

Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land had ways to control these people.

On the other side.

While Gu Tiangang was persuading for surrender, Shen Xue’s face was icy cold, directly exhausting all the remaining Magic Power within her, chanting a Forbidden Spell right away.

Soon after.

The bone-chilling frost swept again, the fourth-tier top-grade Forbidden Spell Eternal Ice Seal reappeared, the terrifying ice power engulfing Gu Tiangang, the space itself crystallizing into thick frost.

In a matter of moments, Gu Tiangang was reduced to an ice sculpture.

Seeing this, Shen Xue was about to heave a sigh of relief when the sculpture suddenly exploded. Gu Tiangang’s energy and blood blazed like a great sun, dispersing all the frost.

"Impossible..."

Shen Xue’s expression changed drastically, the few hints of color in her pale face faded further.

Gu Tiangang shook his head and said, "It truly is an entirely different power. But unfortunately, your cultivation is ultimately too low. Were you to step into the True Monarch realm as well, you might indeed give me some trouble. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

But right now, wanting to deal with me is nothing but a fool’s dream.

I’ll give you one more chance, submit or perish?"

"Even in death, I will not submit!"

Shen Xue gritted through her teeth.

Upon hearing this.

Gu Tiangang’s eyes showed a trace of regret, then his face turned cold, releasing a terrifying aura from himself, causing the space to tremble lightly.

In an instant.

The winds and clouds in heaven and earth changed, just like the wrath of the Heavenly Dao.

The terrifying suppression of a True Monarch in its full realm fell on Shen Xue, causing even her nearly exhausted Magic Power to become difficult to mobilize, as if she would instantly fall down to the mortal realm.

"Since you seek death so desperately, I’ll have to fulfill it!"

With those words.

The palm struck!

Gu Tiangang, holding nothing back this time, unleashed an attack of sixth-tier full force, shattering space like a mirror, the black fissures revealing alarming darkness.

Shen Xue gazed at the descending palm, a tint of despair appeared on her enchanting face.

At this moment.

A cyan divine light spread, a majestic figure stepping through the air unhurriedly, with lotus blossoms blooming beneath his feet. Despite his seemingly leisurely steps, he was in front of Shen Xue in an instant.

Looking at the descending palm, the figure also extended his right hand, unleashing a vast and magnificent power like a tidal wave.
