Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 173: Saint’s Celestial Tribulation

Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land.

Inside the secret chamber.

Gu Tiangang sat cross-legged, blood surging within him like rivers rushing, a dense aura of blood escaping, transforming into a majestic presence.

After a long time.

Gu Tiangang opened his eyes and swallowed an elixir. Instantly, his Divine Soul Power grew significantly, and the Heaven and Earth Power he sensed became increasingly clear.

"The Longevity Shackles are about to dissipate, this is my opportunity to prove the Dao and become a Saint!"

Gu Tiangang’s eyes were resolute. In the past, when his divine soul tried to comprehend the heavens and the earth, it was always shrouded in a layer of mist, preventing him from truly understanding the forces that bind the heavens and the earth.

Now.

The mist had gradually dispersed, the Heaven and Earth Power became clearer, and with the strengthening of his Divine Soul Power, Gu Tiangang had begun to subtly draw in the power of heaven and earth.

This is a sign of the Longevity Shackles disappearing.

The breakthrough to a Saint!

It involves engraving celestial runes on the bones with Heaven and Earth Power, allowing the body to be tempered by these forces, thus gaining divinity and transcending to a higher level.

This level is also referred to as becoming a Saint in body.

All beneath Saints are ants.

This is because Saints possess divinity, truly breaking free from a mortal body, whereas even though True Monarchs are powerful, they remain within the mortal realm.

The apparent difference between True Monarch and Saint is vast and insurmountable.

With Gu Tiangang’s foundation, as long as the Longevity Shackles disappear, breaking through to the Saint realm should be absolutely achievable.

However, a battle years ago left him severely wounded. Even after receiving resources from the Sacred Land for recovery, he barely reached his peak, but still required an elixir for assistance in breaking through to the Saint realm.

The divine soul draws.

The vast power of heaven descends.

At the same time, a terrifying pressure permeated the entire Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land. Everyone instinctively felt a profound sense of unease.

Many did not know what was happening, but some seasoned strong figures vaguely guessed something.

"It seems the Saint Master is breaking through to the Saint realm!"

"The Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land has declined for many years but is destined to return to the pinnacle in this world."

"With the Longevity Shackles about to disappear, our Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land’s Saint Master is sure to become the first Saint of the Golden Era..."

Some seasoned strong figures were stirred, and some were even moved to tears, as if they had already seen the flourishing future of the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land.

A Saint strong figure!

No matter the era, they are an existence that cannot be ignored, qualified to establish a Sacred Land that lasts through the ages.

As the first Saint of the Golden Era, the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land is destined to return to its peak period.

One must know, back then, in the vast lands of Ancient Wilderness, the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land was the sole overlord, and no other force was qualified to stand equal to it.

It was only after the decline of the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land that other Sacred Lands had the opportunity to rise.

Now that Gu Tiangang is breaking through to the Saint realm, with his talents, there should be no problem. The Ancient Wilderness Saint Body has the qualifications to prove the Dao and achieve emperorship in any era.

In Ancient Times, there were Ancient Wilderness Saint Bodies that proved the Dao and became emperors.

These seasoned strong figures harbored some ambitions, hoping to witness the rise of a Great Emperor and for the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land to ascend to a Great Emperor-level Influence, akin to the Divine Martial Dynasty of the Divine Wilderness.

...

Several days later.

The sky trembles.

A vast thunder tribulation suddenly gathers. The entire large Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land seemed to be covered by the celestial tribulation, and while all disciples secretly feared the tribulation might destroy everything, the secret chamber door suddenly shattered.

A grand figure was seen stepping through the void, instantly leaving the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land, heading into the wild mountains.

Some elders who witnessed the figure immediately recognized it was Gu Tiangang, who had been in seclusion for a long time.

"The Saint Master is about to start Tribulation Crossing!"

"The Saint’s celestial tribulation has arrived, our Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land will finally produce a Saint strong figure!"

In an instant, many elders followed in Gu Tiangang’s footsteps, wishing to witness his Tribulation Crossing to Saint with their own eyes.

In the wild mountains.

The celestial tribulation gathers.

Gu Tiangang looked up at the sky, his gaze like lightning, his long hair flowing, his rugged face full of battle spirit.

He had now taken the final step, but without undergoing the baptism of the celestial tribulation, he was not truly a Saint, only a half-step Saint.

Only when the Tribulation Crossing succeeds can one be considered a true Saint.

"Come!"

"Let me personally experience the might of the Saint’s celestial tribulation!"

As Gu Tiangang’s words fell, the celestial tribulation seemed to feel provoked, and terrifying thunder roared like a Fierce Beast, striking fiercely at the person below.

Gu Tiangang’s physique and blood energy erupted, his fist shattered the void, directly launching an attack against the celestial tribulation.

"Boom——"

The two forces clashed, and the celestial tribulation instantly shattered.

The remaining Thunder Power entered Gu Tiangang’s body, slowly transforming his physique, making his blood energy even more boiling.

"Boom!"

"Rumble!"

The dense celestial tribulation strikes down, intending to annihilate the being proving the Dao to Saint below, but Gu Tiangang was not afraid in the slightest. The power of the Ancient Wilderness Saint Body was unleashed without reservation.

The vast commotion seemed to fill the entire celestial tribulation, Thunder Power enveloping miles, making it impossible for others to easily approach.

Any cultivator witnessing such a celestial tribulation was in shock.

"Is this the Saint’s celestial tribulation?"

Even a single celestial tribulation strike is something a True Monarch cannot withstand, sensing its might from miles away.

As the celestial tribulation intensified, Gu Tiangang’s aura was towering as he looked at the sky and roared: "No one can stop me from proving the Dao today!"

As his words finished.

Blood energy surged.

An ancient majestic body was born from the blood energy, Gu Tiangang unleashed an ultimate punch towards the sky, and the majestic body mirrored the punch.

The power of the two punches overlapped, penetrating miles of void. The descending celestial tribulation shattered with a loud crash, and the remaining rampant power struck into the tribulation clouds, causing the vast tribulation clouds to burst open in an instant.

The tribulation clouds collapsed.

Almost simultaneously, a terrifying aura emanated from Gu Tiangang, swiftly sweeping in all directions, followed by miles of purple aura, seemingly congratulating the birth of a Saint.

At the moment Gu Tiangang proved the Dao to become a Saint, two major Sacred Lands and other forces in the Ancient Wilderness suddenly became aware, feeling the oppressive aura akin to the might of the heavens and the vast purple aura, many were unclear about what had happened.

Only some deeply rooted forces understood what had transpired.

"Someone has proved the Dao to become a Saint!"

In Taixu Sacred Land, Ye Taixu, looking at the miles of purple aura and the oppressive aura that made his blood and Divine Soul tremble, his expression became extremely grim.

The Longevity Shackles had just dissipated, and someone had already proved the Dao to become a Saint; the foundation of that person could be imagined.

Throughout the entire Ancient Wilderness, only one person was qualified to prove the Dao to become a Saint at this moment.

"Gu Tiangang..."
