Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 169: Cultivation Soars, Advancing to Tier 7!

Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Cultivation Soars, Advancing to Tier 7!

"Boom!"

Divine Thought transformed into a sword and multiplied into thousands.

At the moment when the Sword Qi swept through the void, thousands of Sword Qi coalesced into a single beam, instantly breaking through Saint Shenxiao’s Protective Gang Qi, severing his head.

The head fell.

The saint perished.

Gu Qingyang exited the simulation, recalling the recent battle, still shaking his head in secret.

"No, still can’t truly achieve an instant kill!"

Gu Qingyang furrowed his brow.

Since stepping into the Divinity Transformation Sword Technique and reaching the Mastery level, Gu Qingyang spent another four and a half years elevating the Divinity Transformation Sword Technique to the pinnacle of perfection.

It must be said.

The pinnacle level of the Divinity Transformation Sword Technique is indeed extremely powerful; even with Gu Qingyang’s sixth-tier mid-grade cultivation, he could slay a seventh-tier top-grade Saint Shenxiao.

But unfortunately, Gu Qingyang could only achieve the level of slaying Saint Shenxiao.

Achieving an instant kill was completely out of reach.

Since breaking through to the pinnacle of the Divinity Transformation Sword Technique, it had been half a year now. Gu Qingyang incessantly sought the flaws in Saint Shenxiao and refined his own power to the utmost, but he still could not achieve the level of an instant kill.

At most.

He could only shorten the time taken to slay Saint Shenxiao a little.

The gap between slaying and instantly killing is immense.

Regarding this.

Gu Qingyang could only abandon the idea of instantly killing Saint Shenxiao at his current sixth-tier mid-grade, saying that slaying a seventh-tier top-grade was his limit.

"If that’s the case, then it’s time to enhance my cultivation!"

With that thought.

Gu Qingyang looked at his data panel.

...

Name: Gu Qingyang

Essence: Heavenly Dao Divine Tree

Longevity: Immortality

Tier: Sixth-tier mid-grade (315,600,200/400,000,000)

Divine Kingdom: Sixth-tier (130,958,090,000/1,000,000,000,000)

Heavenly Dao Origin: 2360

Innate Divine Techniques: Heavenly Dao Spirit Root (sixth-tier), Heavenly Dao Fruit (sixth-tier), Eye of Heavenly Dao (sixth-tier), Heavenly Dao Domain (sixth-tier), Memory Reading (sixth-tier)

...

As for the Evolution Value, it now surpassed 3.1 billion, only 90 million short of meeting the breakthrough requirement for sixth-tier top-grade.

Then.

Regarding the Divine Kingdom, the accumulated faith has also surpassed the hundred-billion level, reaching 130 billion.

However, advancing the Divine Kingdom to the seventh-tier requires one trillion in faith, and now Gu Qingyang can only say he has gathered a little more than one-tenth.

Compared to the Evolution Value and faith, the real surge was in the Heavenly Dao Origin.

Two eighth-tier top-grade secret techniques, each containing a thousand points of Heavenly Dao Origin, totaling two thousand points. Through these years of casual accumulation, Gu Qingyang’s Heavenly Dao Origin in hand had directly broken the two-thousand mark.

The transformation rate between Heavenly Dao Origin and Evolution Value is one to one million.

With over two thousand Heavenly Dao Origins, converting all into Evolution Value, it would be equivalent to more than two billion.

Earlier, Gu Qingyang had been comprehending the Divinity Transformation Sword Technique, without using Heavenly Dao Origin to enhance it. Now that the Divinity Transformation Sword Technique and his own strength have no room for improvement, the only thing left to do is to break through.

Then.

With a single thought, Gu Qingyang converted ninety points of Heavenly Dao Origin into Evolution Value, instantly filling the original gap of 90 million Evolution Value required for a breakthrough.

"Boom—"

The Azure Celestial Divine Tree trembled, a powerful aura rising from it, the roots below extended and spread, and after a long time, the trembling gradually subsided and disappeared.

Upon looking at his own data panel again, Gu Qingyang had suddenly broken through to the sixth-tier top-grade.

Breaking through from sixth-tier top-grade to sixth-tier perfect requires an Evolution Value of seven billion, and Gu Qingyang, without any hesitation, directly consumed seven hundred points of Heavenly Dao Origin to break through.

Quickly.

His realm reached the sixth-tier perfect.

"Just one more step up, and I’ll break through to the seventh-tier low-grade!"

Feeling the overwhelmingly immense power within himself, Gu Qingyang’s mind was somewhat stirred. After years without breakthrough in cultivation, breaking through multiple realms in a single day, the feeling of power skyrocketing could easily immerse someone deeply.

However.

Gu Qingyang, after all, had a resolute mind, and soon suppressed this sensation.

Subsequently, he glanced at the data panel again.

After achieving sixth-tier perfect, breaking through to seventh-tier low-grade requires an Evolution Value of ten billion.

Ten billion Evolution Value!

Which is equivalent to a thousand points of Heavenly Dao Origin.

With the two breakthroughs just now, Gu Qingyang’s consumption still hadn’t reached a thousand points of Heavenly Dao Origin, and over a thousand points remained, so breaking through wasn’t a problem.

As the thought settled, a thousand points of Heavenly Dao Origin were consumed, ten billion Evolution Value was accounted for, initiating his transformation from sixth-tier to seventh-tier.

"Boom rumble!!"

This breakthrough was far more intense than any previous ones.

The terrifying aura emitted from the Divine Tree, quickly pressing down on the entire Kunlun Divine Realm, soon the aura broke through the Kunlun Divine Realm and engulfed the entire Qingyang realm.

At this moment.

All cultivators in the Qingyang realm felt the terrifying pressure, looking towards the direction of the aura, their eyes showed an indescribable awe.

"This aura originates from the Kunlun Divine Realm; could it be the Divine Emperor making another breakthrough!"

In the Divine Court Imperial City, Yang Yan, handling affairs with other elders, paused his actions, a look of horror appeared on his face.

In this aura, he felt a pressure like heavenly might, his Spiritual Power and Divine Soul trembling, with an impulse to bow down.

It must be known.

With years of diligent cultivation, Yang Yan now was not what he used to be, with his cultivation entering the fifth-tier top-grade, just a step away from reaching fifth-tier perfect.

Such power might not be impressive in the Immortal Extinction Realm, but in the Cyan Yang Divine Court, it was considered top-tier.

Despite this.

Under the pressure of Gu Qingyang’s breakthrough, Yang Yan felt similar to a mere mortal, indicating the aura’s terrifying nature.

More than just Yang Yan’s shock, other elders handling affairs also had horrified expressions.

Eastern Continent!

Western Continent!

Southern Continent!

Northern Continent!

The pressure from Gu Qingyang’s breakthrough swept across the four continents, regardless of the strength level of the experts, their reactions were not much different from Yang Yan upon sensing this pressure.

Evergreen Ancient City.

Gu Changqing’s gaze was fixed on the direction of the Kunlun Divine Realm, his usually placid heart was now surging with great storms.

"Father has broken through again, but observing such an aura, it’s unknown what level he has entered..."

Gu Qingyang’s depth of cultivation was a mystery to Gu Changqing.

Even though he had now broken the sixth-tier barrier and directly entered the sixth-tier low-grade level, he still couldn’t fathom Gu Qingyang’s depth.

Now.

The vast aura from the other’s breakthrough engulfed the entire Qingyang realm, its grandiose momentum was unimaginable for others.

To this, Gu Changqing felt only reverence and joy.

In his view, the stronger Gu Qingyang became, the greater the benefits for the entire Qingyang realm, considering years of constant news in the Divine Kingdom’s chat group, with Immortal Extinction Realm experts emerging like bamboo shoots after rain, the people of the Qingyang realm were well aware.

In such circumstances, the cultivators residing in the Qingyang realm faced considerable pressure.
