Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 118: The Newly Emerged Spiritual Forbidden Area

Chapter 118: Chapter 118: The Newly Emerged Spiritual Forbidden Area

The Battle of the Ancient Wilderness.

Gu Qingyang, with his Dharma Body, fought a bloody battle against three perfected Sixth-Tier powerhouses and was ultimately narrowly defeated, not due to his true limits but not far off.

After all, the Dharma Body is not an ordinary incarnation but condensed from Gu Qingyang’s own divine power. While not as formidable as the Heavenly Dao Spirit Root of his essence, its strength is not much inferior.

Under such circumstances, the Dharma Body could suppress Gu Tiangang but was no match for the combined might of the three Saint Masters, roughly equating to half a step into the Seventh Tier.

"If the Dharma Body is comparable to half a step into the Seventh Tier, then if I were to truly engage, I should be able to reach the lower Seventh Tier!"

Gu Qingyang contemplated silently.

With such strength, even without the suppression of the Heavenly Dao Domain, he had the confidence to defeat the three Saint Masters.

However, with the aid of the Heavenly Dao Domain, defeating the three Saint Masters was significantly easier for Gu Qingyang. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

...

The Ancient Wilderness.

The bronze gateway, once representing the Cyan Yang Realm, now had countless broken corpses buried beneath, the blood staining the earth, turning it into a dark brown over time.

The entire land is now devoid of life, emanating a chilling aura that makes one instinctively feel a tinge of coldness upon entry, as if something eerie exists.

On a certain hill, someone looked at the blackened earth ahead and the bronze gateway in the middle, a solemn expression on their face.

"The number of fallen cultivators in this battle is in the millions, including many Daoist powerhouses. With so many cultivators falling here, it seems destined to become a Spiritual Forbidden Area!"

Upon hearing this, other cultivators’ faces changed dramatically.

Spiritual Forbidden Area!

Those four words are enough to instill fear across the entire Ancient Wilderness.

To date.

The Ancient Wilderness has ancient Spiritual Forbidden Areas, where any cultivator who steps in rarely makes it out alive.

Even if one were to escape, they would be cursed horribly, ultimately perishing.

Hundreds of years ago, a perfected True Monarch entered a Spiritual Forbidden Area to find a way to transcend the True Monarch without breaking the Longevity Shackles.

Unfortunately.

He emerged insane and soon after sat and perished.

Since then, the Spiritual Forbidden Areas have become even more terrifying.

Subsequently.

A Daoist said seriously, "It’s indeed possible for this place to become a Spiritual Forbidden Area, but though many cultivators fell in battle, none can truly be called top-tier powerhouses.

The Spiritual Forbidden Area nurtured under such conditions is not as terrifying. Any of the three Holy Lands can quell it!"

On hearing this, some cultivators’ faces relaxed a little.

Indeed, Spiritual Forbidden Areas are frightening, but truly terrifying are those powerful and ancient ones, where countless powerhouses have perished over millennia. Whenever a top-tier powerhouse approaches death, most will enter a Spiritual Forbidden Area, hoping to suppress its growth or eradicate it single-handedly.

Yet, even if these powerhouses could severely damage a Spiritual Forbidden Area, their own demise within would ultimately strengthen it over time.

Thus.

The older the Spiritual Forbidden Area, the harder it is to pacify.

If a Spiritual Forbidden Area is newly formed and weak, though it may be troublesome to quell, it is not entirely out of the question.

Even so.

No Spiritual Forbidden Area is a trivial matter for ordinary cultivators to meddle with.

As news of the Spiritual Forbidden Area’s emergence spread, the entire Ancient Wilderness shuddered once more.

...

The Sacred Land of the Ancient Wilderness.

Currently, a shadow hangs over the entire Sacred Land, with every disciple’s expression unsightly.

In the battle against the Cyan Yang Realm, the Sacred Land of the Ancient Wilderness also suffered heavy losses, with several Daoist elders perishing, and the surviving disciples also significantly reduced.

This was the most devastating loss for the Sacred Land of the Ancient Wilderness in a millennium.

With the end of the Golden Era, the world revered True Monarchs, and the Sacred Land of the Ancient Wilderness produced an Unrivaled True Monarch with the Saint Body of the Ancient Wilderness. Although not as prosperous as before, it had somewhat restored its primordial strength.

Therefore, few dare to oppose the Sacred Land of the Ancient Wilderness now.

The Holy Land’s great hall.

Gu Tiangang still bore a somewhat pale complexion, his expression as grim as still water, with a stifling atmosphere pervading the hall.

The other elders also wore unpleasant expressions, without uttering a word.

The entire hall was terrifyingly silent.

This battle.

The Sacred Land of the Ancient Wilderness suffered horrific losses.

Losing several Daoist elders was one thing, but even Gu Tiangang himself was severely wounded. The desolate cauldron, his Lifebound Supreme Treasure painstakingly forged over many years, shattered, decimating years of hard work.

The desolate cauldron was forged by Gu Tiangang over many years with top-tier materials, reaching the level of a top-grade True Monarch Supreme Treasure.

Given time, should Gu Tiangang break through beyond the True Monarch, the desolate cauldron could advance alongside him.

If ever contending for longevity, the desolate cauldron could serve as his treasure of Dao validation.

Now, with the desolate cauldron shattered, Gu Tiangang’s years of hard work went to waste, and he had to start anew, gathering materials to forge a new Lifebound Divine Soldier.

But because his Lifebound Divine Soldier shattered, Gu Tiangang suffered severe backlash, nearly falling from the perfected True Monarch realm.

Bear in mind, Gu Tiangang was on the brink of surpassing the True Monarch. With such severe injuries now, recovering completely will be no easy feat.

"After this battle ends, I must retreat into seclusion. I will not emerge unless I surpass the True Monarch’s limits. All Sacred Land affairs will temporarily fall to the elders.

Unless the Sacred Land faces annihilation, do not disturb me!"

Gu Tiangang’s icy tone sent shivers down one’s spine.

Finally, he continued.

"Moreover, many from the Cyan Yang Realm infiltrated the Ancient Wilderness during the battle. They must be pursued relentlessly. Typically, there is a language barrier between the Two Realms, and even if they try to learn, they will surely reveal themselves.

The Sacred Land of the Ancient Wilderness must root them all out. Extract their cultivation techniques if possible or eliminate them immediately if not, leaving no future threats.

Compared to thirty years ago, the cultivators from the Cyan Yang Realm have grown far too swiftly. This realm is unlike any small world the Ancient Wilderness previously accessed!"

Regarding the Cyan Yang Realm, Gu Tiangang’s vigilance had been heightened to the utmost.

In the previous assault on the Cyan Yang Realm, excluding Gu Qingyang, there wasn’t a single Daoist, nor a perfected Dragon Transformation cultivator.

But in such a short span, the Cyan Yang Realm has seen a surge in Dragon Transformation cultivators, with even Daoist powerhouses emerging. This growth rate is astonishing.

In a small world scarce in spiritual energy, Cyan Yang Realm’s cultivators could break through so rapidly. Entering the Ancient Wilderness now would be akin to a latent dragon leaping from the abyss.

With these two realms now torn asunder, Gu Tiangang obviously could not permit the Cyan Yang Realm’s cultivators to remain in the Ancient Wilderness, or it will inevitably be the doom of the Sacred Land of the Ancient Wilderness.
