Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 158: Bounty

In the void.

As Gu Tiangang’s silhouette had just emerged, Gu Qingyang instantly vanished from his original position, and with a heaven-shocking Sword Qi at a most mysterious angle, he sliced through the space, instantly breaking the opponent’s Protective Gang Qi, then proceeded with a decapitating strike.

With Gu Tiangang’s fall, Gu Qingyang’s figure also disappeared without a trace.

Kunlun Divine Realm.

Gu Qingyang’s Divine Thought returned, reflecting on the recent battle, feeling quite satisfied.

"Now I can instantly kill Gu Tiangang; unless a Seventh Tier stronghold has Supreme Treasure protection, those below should pose no threat to me!"

Although Gu Tiangang of Ancient Wilderness Saint Body hadn’t reached the Seventh Tier Saint Realm, he had achieved Sixth Tier Perfection, with a strength among the top of the Sixth Tier.

Gu Qingyang instantly killing Gu Tiangang indicates he can instantly kill other Sixth Tier experts, unless they have Supreme Treasure protection.

Of course.

Even if they have Supreme Treasure protection, Gu Qingyang is confident in instantly killing them.

If his killing speed is fast enough, he can leave them with no chance to react.

However.

Truly instant killing a master like Gu Tiangang is not easy; it took Gu Qingyang a month to accomplish transforming from easily suppressing to instant killing.

Clearly, there is an immense chasm between suppression and instant killing.

Fortunately.

Gu Qingyang succeeded.

Next, as long as Gu Tiangang doesn’t advance, if he steps into the Immortal Extinction Realm, Gu Qingyang can teach him a lesson.

"But this is not enough; the simulation only projects my Essence’s strength. If it is Dharma Body strength, it’s a step weaker.

It seems I must focus on simulating Dharma Body power; just simulating Essence power is somewhat different!"

Gu Qingyang has always stayed in Cyan Yang, rarely venturing out, and fought using Dharma Body; naturally, he should use Dharma Body to confront enemies.

Thinking of this.

Gu Qingyang prepares to enter the simulation again, but before entering, he updates the simulation function, allowing followers to capture other cultivators’ Spiritual Qi, thereby transforming the corresponding simulation targets.

However, this capture of Spiritual Qi can only be used on non-Divine Kingdom followers.

The purpose of doing this is to maximize the effect of simulated battles and expand the number of simulation targets.

Then, Gu Qingyang enters the simulation again.

This time.

He only transforms Dharma Body power.

Gu Tiangang materializes again; the two fight briefly, and Gu Qingyang swiftly slays Gu Tiangang.

Gu Qingyang is naturally dissatisfied with this result.

He not only wants to instantly kill Gu Tiangang himself but also wants the Dharma Body to be able to instantly kill Gu Tiangang.

Simulate!

Kill!

Resimulate!

Re-kill!

...

In continuous simulation, Gu Qingyang, using Dharma Body power, can already easily suppress Gu Tiangang, but still cannot achieve absolute instant killing, as there’s still a slight gap.

For a true expert, even a momentary gap allows for a response.

So.

It took Gu Qingyang a full month before he succeeded in instantly killing Gu Tiangang again.

This instant killing was by the Dharma Body.

Now.

Gu Qingyang no longer fears Sixth Tier cultivators’ threats.

Even if not on his own turf, he can easily instantly kill Sixth Tier cultivators.

With Gu Tiangang capable of being slain, naturally, it’s time to change targets.

"Set a small goal next, being able to instantly kill Seventh Tier low-grade Starry Sky Fierce Beast!"

...

In the dark swamp, the mist remains year-round, with venomous creatures often seen roaming in the swamp, occasionally witnessing grotesque Fierce Beasts dart out and then retreat.

Bones float.

The air is filled with a chilling aura.

In the middle of the swamp stands a starkly contrasting scene.

Here are green hills and clear waters, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is rich, full of vitality, a complete contrast to the external swamp’s desolate chill.

This place is none other than where the Netherworld Sect in Central Province resides.

Within the Netherworld Hall, many people gather; they are dressed as farmers, dignitaries, and martial artists.

However, all wear a grotesque evil ghost mask and share the same identity, being high-ranking members of the Netherworld Sect.

At this moment.

One dressed as a farmer speaks hoarsely: "The Golden Era begins, revealing numerous Divine Bodies and Saint Bodies. Now there’s a rumor of an Overlord Divine Body emerging, recruited by the Feng Family.

Someone has set a reward of a high-grade Saint Supreme Treasure for the life of this person; who dares take on the task?"

After speaking.

Another person sneers: "Just one high-grade Saint Supreme Treasure to exchange for a Divine Body’s life? That’s too easy."

"Divine Bodies are undoubtedly precious, but the Feng Family’s Overlord Divine Body is merely newly True Monarch, not very powerful; one high-grade Saint Supreme Treasure isn’t much of a difference."

The farmer shakes his head slightly, his voice still lacking emotional fluctuation.

Other high-ranking members fall silent at the statement.

Indeed.

A newly True Monarch Overlord Divine Body being exchanged for a high-grade Saint Supreme Treasure isn’t much of a difference.

But the problem lies in the Overlord Divine Body being backed by the Feng Family; killing a newly True Monarch Divine Body is easy, but escaping from the Feng Family isn’t simple.

One could say.

The risk and benefit of this task are identical.

The farmer looks at the silent crowd and slowly says, "If no one takes it, according to the Sect’s wishes, I will directly assign it..."

"I’ll go!"

A dispassionate voice responds, causing others to turn toward the sound, expressions shifting behind their masks.

The reason is that the speaker is a top assassin newly risen within the Netherworld Sect, nicknamed Twenty-Ninth Heaven, having previously assassinated True Monarchs while being only Daoist level, and now having stepped into True Monarch, has slain many of the same level, even post-True Monarch stage have met their end.

Many present, also Celestial Tier assassins from the Netherworld Sect, regard him with fear.

The farmer nods upon hearing, saying: "Twenty-Ninth Heaven, your assassination skills in the Netherworld Sect are considered top-notch, but your cultivation is slightly lacking.

Every Divine Body can sweep peers, with extraordinary strength and foundation.

Celestial Eighteen, Twenty-Third Celestial, you two cooperate with Twenty-Ninth Heaven; this time the target is the Feng Family, and once you act, regardless of success or failure, do not linger in battle!"

With the farmer’s words, two others have to agree. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Exiting the Netherworld Hall, Twenty-Ninth Heaven floats away, returning to his residence, where he takes off the mask, revealing a young face.

This person is none other than Ye Jiu.

Since his cultivation improved, Ye Jiu has continuously accepted Netherworld Pavilion’s assassination tasks, targeting various experts, advancing his status from Earth Tier to Celestial Tier, and entering the ranks of the Netherworld Sect’s high levels.

In the absence of Saints, a True Monarch is eligible for a high-level position in any power.

Ye Jiu is no exception.

"Feng Family’s Overlord Divine Body, it seems even before the Golden Era begins, some want to eliminate these prodigies to pave the way for their future cultivation!"

Thinking this, Ye Jiu opens the Divine Kingdom chat group, directly finding Gu Fang, then enters a line of text, waiting for a response while engaging in a simulated battle.
