Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 174: Boundless Purple Qi, On the Eve of Battle!

Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Boundless Purple Qi, On the Eve of Battle!

"The vast purple aura stretches for ten thousand miles, a phenomenon of a Saint emerging. A powerful figure has attested to the Dao and become a Saint in the Ancient Wilderness!"

Zhang Ming, who had just stepped into the territory of the Ancient Wilderness, looked at the purple aura surging in the sky and the powerful pressure that faintly emanated, instantly recalling the records of the Taichu Sacred Land in his mind.

The emergence of a Saint.

Purple aura for ten thousand miles.

As a Great Emperor-level influence, the Taichu Sacred Land also has records of the phenomenon when a Saint emerges. What Zhang Ming did not expect was to witness a powerful figure attesting to the Dao to become a Saint as he just entered the Ancient Wilderness.

"Among the three Sacred Lands in the Ancient Wilderness, the most profound foundation belongs to the Sacred Master of the Ancient Wilderness, Gu Tiangang, who possesses the Saint Body of the Ancient Wilderness and is most hopeful to first attest to the Dao and become a Saint during the opening of the Golden Era..."

Zhang Ming frowned deeply, his expression extremely grave.

Although he was currently unclear about who exactly had attested to the Dao to become a Saint, it was highly likely to be Gu Tiangang.

The difference between a sixth-tier True Monarch at perfection and a seventh-tier Saint was something Zhang Ming was all too clear about.

Since the Divine Kingdom introduced the simulation battle feature, Zhang Ming frequently immersed himself in it. Not only did he witness the power of the Saints, but Gu Tiangang was also a regular target in his simulations.

Even though Zhang Ming had already reached the mid-grade of the sixth tier, he still could not hold his own against the perfected True Monarch Gu Tiangang and was easily subdued by him.

This is the disparity in the Saint Body realm.

The gap between each realm is not easily bridged.

Even at the sixth tier’s perfection, the sixth tier’s perfection of the Saint Body naturally cannot be compared to that of an ordinary cultivator.

The impression that Gu Tiangang left on Zhang Ming was that he was nearly as formidable as a seventh-tier low-grade starry sky beast. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

If Gu Tiangang was so powerful in his sixth tier’s perfection, now that he has stepped into the seventh tier to become a Saint, his strength will undoubtedly be even more terrifying.

At this critical juncture, as the Cyan Yang Realm prepares to counterattack the Ancient Wilderness, Gu Tiangang’s Dao verification and attainment of saintliness is certainly not good news.

However.

For the Divine Emperor of the Cyan Yang Realm, Zhang Ming inexplicably harbors confidence.

Even if Gu Tiangang has attested to becoming a Saint, it might not necessarily pose a threat to him, given the mysterious methods of the Divine Kingdom’s chat group, which are not possessed by mere cultivators.

"Currently, the Cyan Yang Realm still hasn’t truly begun the counterattack, first let’s discuss the realities of the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land!"

Zhang Ming thought to himself and immediately headed in the direction of the Saint phenomenon.

...

On the other side.

While Zhang Ming was entering the Ancient Wilderness, many strong figures from various regions were also entering, all seemingly with a clear goal, heading towards the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land together.

At the same time.

Within the Cyan Yang Realm.

Gu Qingyang, witnessing the Saint’s heavenly tribulation from the perspective of a follower, felt slightly heavy-hearted: "Gu Tiangang has attested to the Dao and become a Saint!"

The significance of Gu Tiangang’s attesting to the Dao means the Longevity Shackles of the Immortal Extinction Realm have been completely broken, the Golden Era officially began, and an age of great contention had already drawn its curtain.

The Saint’s heavenly tribulation was also the first time Gu Qingyang had witnessed it.

Even though he himself had already reached the seventh tier, as the Divine Tree of Heavenly Dao, Gu Qingyang did not face any heavenly tribulations upon his breakthroughs.

After all, heavenly tribulations come from the Heavenly Dao, and since Gu Qingyang himself is equivalent to the Heavenly Dao, how could there be a heavenly tribulation descending upon the Heavenly Dao?

Therefore.

Gu Qingyang had never experienced the mighty power of a Saint’s heavenly tribulation.

Yet from the follower’s perspective, the power of a Saint’s strength was already beyond the limits of the sixth tier.

Thinking of this.

Gu Qingyang couldn’t help but enter into simulation combat.

At the moment Gu Tiangang attested to become a Saint, he had already captured a wisp of his aura through the follower’s perspective, now able to perfectly simulate it.

But the difference was.

Though the seventh-tier Gu Tiangang had been simulated, the sixth-tier perfected Gu Tiangang still remained a feasible simulation target.

In other words, the Divine Kingdom can capture the strength of any stage of a cultivator, and even if the other party makes a breakthrough, it does not cause the lower realm simulation target to disappear.

This time, Gu Qingyang entered the simulation battle, not to challenge the sixth-tier perfected Gu Tiangang, but directly simulated the seventh-tier Saint realm Gu Tiangang.

As the Saint Gu Tiangang was simulated, a terrifying aura emanated from him. Compared to the time at sixth tier’s perfection, after breaking through to the Saint level, this Sacred Master of the Ancient Wilderness’s strength had already transformed into a terrifying degree.

Solely from the aura perspective, Gu Tiangang seemed even more dreadful than starry sky beasts by several degrees.

The next moment.

The two engaged in an all-out clash.

...

In just moments.

Gu Qingyang’s Divine Thought returned from the simulation battle, recalling the battle just now, all remnants of hesitation regarding Gu Tiangang vanished from his mind.

Without any surprises.

Even the seventh-tier Saint realm Gu Tiangang was directly slain in an instant under Gu Qingyang’s full effort.

For this outcome, Gu Qingyang had anticipated it long ago.

After all, no matter how strong Gu Tiangang was, he had just entered saintliness; Gu Qingyang could slay even the seventh-tier supreme Saint Shenxiao, so what fear would he have of a newly attested Gu Tiangang?

Only for the sake of caution did Gu Qingyang specifically expend faith to simulate Gu Tiangang’s strength.

The final result was as Gu Qingyang had imagined.

However.

From this battle, it was clear to Gu Qingyang that the Ancient Wilderness Saint Body indeed was supremely powerful; starry sky beasts with the Star God Body were a level weaker than the newly broke-through Gu Tiangang.

Clearly.

Compared to starry sky beasts, Gu Tiangang had a deeper mastery over the Ancient Wilderness Saint Body, allowing him to unleash the power of the Saint Body to a significant extent.

"Gu Tiangang’s attestation is just the beginning; with the disappearance of the Longevity Shackles and the arrival of the Golden Era, the second and third Saint of the Immortal Extinction Realm will soon be emerging.

The prelude to the age of great contention has already unveiled; it’s up to who will master the rise and fall of the world!"

Gu Qingyang seemed to have already envisioned the scenes of prodigies from various factions contending fiercely in the age of great contention. But for now, the Golden Era was only just beginning, and the evolution to that stage wouldn’t be a short-term matter.

After all, not everyone possesses such deep foundations as Gu Tiangang, able to attest to the Dao and become a Saint at the very moment the Longevity Shackles vanish.

Subsequently.

Gu Qingyang looked once more towards the Cyan Yang Realm.

With the news of the counterattack spreading, various forces within the Cyan Yang Realm were trying their best to gather strength, but due to the large number of cultivators now, gathering an army took a bit of time.

This was also why Gu Qingyang didn’t immediately launch an attack.

Additionally.

Gu Qingyang wanted to give the cultivators who entered the Immortal Extinction Realm some time, allowing them sufficient opportunity to travel to the Ancient Wilderness for battle.

This battle was not fought easily, but once started, it needed to crush the three Sacred Lands thoroughly in one go, using the Ancient Wilderness as a springboard for the Cyan Yang Realm to step into the Immortal Extinction Realm.

However—

From the situation of other followers, not everyone was heading to the Ancient Wilderness; some disregarded the message, though most did not hesitate.

Regarding this.

Gu Qingyang was clear in his heart.

The human heart is easily changed.

Twenty years is time enough to change too many things.

However, now is not the time for reckoning; after this battle ends, it will be the true time for settling scores.
