Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 184: The Soul Lamps Extinguished, the Ancient Saint Awakens!

Chapter 184: Chapter 184: The Soul Lamps Extinguished, the Ancient Saint Awakens!

Just as Gu Qingyang had anticipated, under the influence of a million Heroic Spirits, Gu Fang’s cultivation made another breakthrough, astonishingly reaching the level of a seventh-tier Saint.

With the elevation of Gu Fang’s power, Gu Tiangang also felt a certain pressure.

Both being possessors of special constitutions, the potential of the Heaven-Dominating Divine King was not inferior to the Ancient Wilderness Saint Body. Now that Gu Fang had also stepped into the Saint realm, Gu Tiangang found it not so easy to deal with him.

The only advantage was that Gu Tiangang wielded the Abyssal Slaying, a supreme treasure of the Saint grade, whereas the long blade in Gu Fang’s hand was merely an ordinary Saint treasure.

"Boom——"

In the void, two towering figures clashed fiercely, Saints competing, even the slightest remnant shockwave was enough to strike fear into people’s hearts.

"Gu, did you take some elixir to suddenly break through to the seventh tier?"

Zhang Ming’s complexion was astonished. He hadn’t anticipated Gu Fang’s sudden surge, with his cultivation abruptly breaking from mid-sixth tier to the seventh-tier Saint level.

Lin Ling’s brows were also tightly furrowed: "I’m not sure. Gu’s breakthrough is somewhat peculiar. Saint battles are not something you and I can intervene in; for now, let’s focus on removing the other cultivators of the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land!"

Although it was unclear why Gu Fang made the breakthrough, the fact that he stepped into the seventh tier was undeniable. Even if he couldn’t kill Gu Tiangang, he could stall him for some time.

During this period, we would have time to free up our hands and deal with the other cultivators of the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land.

In this battle, the Cyan Yang Divine Court poured out its foundation, completely suppressing the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land and various forces in terms of both fifth-tier Daoist and sixth-tier True Monarch numbers.

If not for Gu Tiangang proving his path as a Saint, the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land would have already been defeated in this battle.

Now.

With Gu Tiangang being held by Gu Fang, they naturally aimed to eliminate the others first.

It was seen that Zhang Ming and the others quickly targeted several sixth-tier True Monarch-level powerhouses, each making moves to deal with them, but within moments, several sixth-tier True Monarchs were directly slain.

Though they couldn’t handle the Saint powerhouses, for the ordinary True Monarchs, it was easy for them to crush.

On the other side.

Zuo Ling also entered the battlefield right on the scene, sweeping across with the Divinity Transformation Sword Technique. With a wave of his hand, earth-shattering Sword Qi sliced through space, causing any Dragon Transformation Daoist that touched the Sword Qi to perish one after another.

"Brute! How dare you harm disciples of my Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land!"

An angry roar came. A white-haired elder in splendid robes arrived by stepping into the air, his fists shook the void, intending to completely slay Zuo Ling on the spot.

The latter saw this and instantly his gaze turned cold.

"People of Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land come just in time. Even if I can’t kill Gu Tiangang today, I will slay a few elders for practice!"

With those words, the blood energy within Zuo Ling surged tremendously, and the Sword Qi from his index finger shattered space, attacking the True Monarch powerhouse.

The splendidly robed elder felt the sharpness of the Sword Qi, his complexion slightly changed, but he was not afraid. His mountain-shaking fists clashed with the Sword Qi, unleashing formidable waves.

The overwhelming air currents swept all directions, yet Zuo Ling wasn’t affected at all, his steps ghostly, the fierce Sword Qi split into ten, ten into a hundred, a hundred into a thousand, a thousand into ten thousand!

In less than a breath’s time, a single Sword Qi transformed into ten thousand Sword Qi, instantly engulfing the splendidly robed elder.

The latter’s eyes filled with fear, trying to evade but it was completely too late.

In a flash.

The Sword Qi utterly consumed him.

When the Sword Qi dissipated, the splendidly robed elder was completely gone, only shredded flesh and blood remained scattered on the ground.

Slaying a True Monarch powerhouse for Zuo Ling was like squashing an ant.

Having received the Quasi-Emperor’s inheritance and activated the Quasi-Emperor’s bloodline, Zuo Ling’s strength was truly terrifying, astonishing even if not as formidable as Gu Tiangang.

With Zhang Ming and Zuo Ling joining the battlefield, the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land’s side was immediately at a great disadvantage.

One powerhouse after another fell, blood staining the void.

Among them were new True Monarch powerhouses, as well as veteran cultivators.

There were elders from the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land as well as top powerhouses from various great sects and families.

Unfortunately.

Even though these powerhouses were not weak, they couldn’t stop the Cyan Yang Divine Court’s momentum.

...

Inside the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land, the powerhouse in charge of watching over the Soul Lamps suddenly saw a significant portion of the radiant Soul Lamps extinguishing, his expression changed drastically.

"Not good!"

"The Soul Lamps have extinguished in large numbers; my Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land faces a major calamity!"

Each Soul Lamp represented the life of someone at least stepping into the Daoist realm, and some of them represented True Monarch powerhouses.

The extinguishing of a Soul Lamp indicated the fall of the powerhouse who left the Soul Lamp.

Upon looking.

Over a hundred Soul Lamps were now mostly extinguished, leaving only a dozen or so remaining, signifying that most powerhouses of the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land had fallen, which was enough to shake the very foundation of the entire Sacred Land.

Thus, upon witnessing the extinguished Soul Lamps, the elder guarding the place immediately went to report elsewhere.

A moment later, two people hurriedly arrived.

One was the elder previously guarding the Soul Lamps, and the other was an elder with white hair and beard, a Supreme Elder of the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land. Given Gu Tiangang was leading the powerhouses to contend with the Cyan Yang realm, it naturally fell to the Supreme Elder to oversee the Sacred Land and take charge of the overall situation.

"With the Soul Lamps extinguished, my Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land faces a major calamity. If the matter is not handled well, I fear it could shake the very foundation of the Sacred Land, or even lead to the Sacred Land’s destruction!"

The Supreme Elder’s face was extremely grim, and in the time he spoke, several more Soul Lamps extinguished, foretelling the fall of several Daoists.

The elder guarding the Soul Lamps turned pale: "But the Saint Master has already proven his path as a Saint; can he not handle a mere Cyan Yang realm?"

"The Cyan Yang realm comes fiercely. We do not know the full situation; although the Saint Master hasn’t fallen, unexpected events may occur.

As long as the Saint Master lives, my Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land will always have hope to rise again.

But if the Saint Master falls, my Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land will face great trouble!"

The Supreme Elder took a deep breath. Although he didn’t know the state of the battle, he knew Gu Tiangang must not die.

As long as he lives, with a newly ascended Saint to support, even if all other powerhouses of the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land were to perish, the Sacred Land’s legacy would remain unbroken.

Conversely.

If Gu Tiangang perishes, combined with the great loss of Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land’s powerhouses, even if they win the battle, they are destined to be swallowed by the other two Sacred Lands.

The Taixu and Celestial Yang Sacred Lands have been eyeing the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land for quite some time, especially the Celestial Yang Sacred Land, always brooding over the great feud from several years ago.

Thinking of this.

The Supreme Elder made an immediate decision: "This matter cannot be delayed, I will go awaken the Ancestor!"

Having said that, he hurried away, leaving the elder guarding the Soul Lamps dazed there.

Ancestor! 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Throughout the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land, only an ancient Saint who self-sealed during the last Golden Era and has been asleep until now can be called the Ancestor.

According to the Supreme Elder’s attitude, he clearly intends to awaken the ancient Saint.

While he was secretly shocked, deep within the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land, an ancient and desolate aura gradually began to surface, sweeping across the entire Sacred Land within moments.
