Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 156: Set a Small Goal—Start by Instantly Defeating Gu Tiangang!

Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Set a Small Goal—Start by Instantly Defeating Gu Tiangang!

In the days that followed.

Gu Qingyang focused on researching the new functionalities developed by the Divine Kingdom, which allowed him to perfectly replicate any powerful individual he had witnessed either directly or through the perspective of his followers.

Moreover.

To date, Gu Qingyang had not discovered the limit of this replication ability.

After all, among all the strong individuals encountered so far, the most powerful was the Seventh-Tier Master Saint Shenxiao, followed by the Seventh-Tier Subordinate Starry Sky Beast.

Of course.

The higher the strength of the replicated individual, the more Faith Power is required.

However, the consumption of such Faith Divine Power is actually much lower compared to the normal deduction of techniques and other things.

After all, this replication is merely an illusion, while deducing techniques and creating divine soldiers involves true creation from nothing, and naturally, the two cannot be compared.

From multiple bouts of replication battles, Gu Qingyang came to a clear understanding of his true strength.

Without any Supreme Treasure, based on the foundation provided by his own Heavenly Dao Divine Tree, he was currently at a great disadvantage against the strongest Seventh-Tier superiors.

Of course.

It is also possible that Saint Shenxiao is a top-tier existence among Seventh-Tier superiors, which makes his strength far beyond that of an average Seventh-Tier superior.

In the battle with Saint Shenxiao, Gu Qingyang was comprehensively suppressed and was killed within moments.

This implies he barely qualifies to contend with a Nine-Turn Saint, not to be instantly killed, but still lacks the means to maintain the fight for long without other tactics.

When facing the Seventh-Tier Subordinate Starry Sky Beast, Gu Qingyang could directly slay it, but the process took a little longer.

After all, the Starry Sky Beast’s whole body is covered in tough scale armor; although Gu Qingyang could suppress the Starry Sky Beast, breaking through its defense wasn’t easy.

However.

Gu Qingyang believed that the Starry Sky Beast surely had its weaknesses, and it was only because he didn’t know enough about it that he couldn’t locate its weakness.

As for those below the seventh tier, there’s the Sixth-Tier Perfection Gu Tiangang.

Having now broken through to the Sixth-Tier Subordinate rank, Gu Qingyang could directly suppress the Sixth-Tier Perfection Gu Tiangang in moments.

For others like Celestial Yang Saint Master and other Sixth-Tier Perfection individuals without special constitutions, Gu Qingyang could practically achieve an instant kill.

"My current strength is approximately equivalent to a Seventh-Tier Subordinate, or about a Fourth-Turn Saint or Fifth-Turn Saint if using the Immortal Extinction Realm’s classification system.

But this shouldn’t be my limit; at the very least, I should be able to instakill the Starry Sky Beast!"

Gu Qingyang thought to himself.

Since his strength is greater than a Starry Sky Beast, there must be a chance to achieve an instant kill; victories often occur in an instant for the strong.

However.

Currently, instakilling a Starry Sky Beast is quite difficult, so Gu Qingyang set a small goal for himself—to first be capable of instakilling Gu Tiangang.

After all, before the Golden Era arrives, Gu Tiangang might be considered at the peak of the current top forces in the Immortal Extinction Realm.

Although the Ancient Wilderness is remote and barren, it doesn’t mean it’s truly weak.

At least with longevity shackles oppressively existing in the world, Gu Tiangang’s strength is top-tier and would be the same even in Divine Desolate Central Province and other places.

Powerful figures from places like Taichu Sacred Land and Divine Martial Dynasty might not necessarily be stronger than Gu Tiangang.

After all, the Ancient Wilderness Saint Body is no small deal; someone with a Saint Body reaching Sixth-Tier Perfection exhibits significant strength.

In Gu Qingyang’s view, Gu Tiangang might prove his Dao in this grand era.

But strength is one thing, and foundation is another.

Compared to other great teachings in Divine Desolate Central Province, the foundation of the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land is undoubtedly much weaker.

Unlike when he first entered the Immortal Extinction Realm, Gu Qingyang now has many followers spread across the realm, and he has a pretty good understanding of the various forces within it. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Both the Celestial Yang and Taixu Great Sacred Lands, along with the Ancient Wilderness, are not Great Emperor-level influences.

The two great sacred lands of Celestial Yang and Taixu only have Saint inheritances.

The Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land, at its peak, was just one step away from being a Great Emperor-level influence, with a Quasi-Emperor present.

Then the Quasi-Emperor perished, and internal conflicts and trials led to the collapse of the Quasi-Emperor’s Supreme Treasure, causing the associated heritage to be lost and forcing it to fall from a Quasi-Emperor influence to that of a Saint influence.

Since then.

The opportunity for Celestial Yang and Taixu Two Great Sacred Lands to rise occurred.

Otherwise, with the foundation of the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land, it would have suppressed the entire Ancient Wilderness, leaving no room for other forces to rise.

After all.

You can see a lot from the term Ancient Wilderness in Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land.

With this thought, Gu Qingyang immediately integrated the newly developed function of the Divine Kingdom into the Divine Kingdom chat group.

This function was named "Simulation Battle" by him.

A very fitting name.

However, to enter the Simulation Battle, each individual needs to consume a certain amount of Contribution, which is also Gu Qingyang’s approach to recycling Contribution.

Since too much Contribution in the hands of followers would significantly increase Gu Qingyang’s Faith Power consumption.

However.

The Faith Power required for Simulation Battles is not plentiful, and Gu Qingyang did not set a high threshold; for example, a First-Tier cultivator simulation only needs one point of Contribution, a Second-Tier ten points of Contribution, and so on, up to a Seventh-Tier simulation, which requires only a million Contribution.

This Contribution threshold is very low.

After all, a Seventh-Tier Subordinate Supreme Treasure can be exchanged for ten billion Contribution, and at one million per simulation, it can be done ten thousand times.

However.

Most followers’ simulations are not completely free will, but only targets Gu Qingyang has simulated before will appear as options in followers’ simulations.

After placing this function into the Divine Kingdom chat group, Gu Qingyang continued to engage in Simulation Battles.

Each time battling a powerful individual allowed him to gain more control over his own strength, and when the time came to make a breakthrough, the strength exerted would be extremely powerful.

However.

Before this, Gu Qingyang needed to simulate all the cultivators he had seen from Tier One to Tier Seven, to expand the quantity of Simulation Battles available for other cultivators to choose from.

In less than three days, Gu Qingyang simulated every powerful figure he had seen from Tier One to Tier Six, leaving only the Starry Sky Beast and Saint Shenxiao as options in the Seventh Tier interface.

There was no other way.

Until now, Gu Qingyang had only seen two powerful figures who had stepped into the Seventh Tier.

After completing these tasks.

Gu Qingyang then truly entered the Simulation Battle again, perfectly replicating Gu Tiangang; in the next instant, the two engaged in an all-out fight.

Soon.

The battle ended.

Compared to the last matchup, this time Gu Qingyang’s speed of slaying Gu Tiangang was a bit faster, yet Gu Qingyang remained dissatisfied with this result.

For him, without being able to even instakill Gu Tiangang, how could he face other powerful adversaries, considering the many methods cultivators possess and only with one fatal strike could potential dangers be minimized.

Otherwise, if the battle drags on, who can predict what might happen.

With this in mind, Gu Qingyang began a new round of simulation.

He would not stop until he could instakill Gu Tiangang.
