Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 227: Red Blood Dynasty, Imperial Extreme Sword Dao!

Chapter 227: Chapter 227: Red Blood Dynasty, Imperial Extreme Sword Dao!

"If you can hand over the Ancient Divine Ore, feel free to make any demands. As long as I, the Emperor, can fulfill them, I shall!"

Gu Qianqiu said coldly.

He had been exploring the cosmic starry sky for a century, seeking a Supreme Treasure that could be used to forge his Lifebound Divine Soldier as a foundation for proving the Dao, allowing himself to break through to a higher level.

Now, having finally witnessed the emergence of the Ancient Divine Ore, Gu Qianqiu was naturally delighted.

After all, according to the records on the Fire Cloud Continent, the Ancient Divine Ore is an exceptional ninth-tier material, rare throughout the world.

Initially, he thought that with the emergence of the Ancient Divine Ore, he could refine a Supreme Treasure to prove the Dao. However, to his great annoyance, someone else had gotten ahead of him.

Given Gu Qianqiu’s temperament, he would have already taken action to seize it directly if it were any other time.

However.

In the vast cosmic starry sky, Gu Qianqiu refrained from acting rashly.

After all, the cosmos is vast, and strong practitioners are numerous. Gu Qianqiu had encountered many top-notch powerhouses over the century, some of whom posed a threat to him. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

The aura emanating from Gu Qingyang was not weak. If the Ancient Divine Ore could be obtained through peaceful means, that would be the best outcome.

If not.

Gu Qianqiu could only resort to forceful seizure.

Hearing this.

Gu Qingyang did not respond but used the Eye of Heavenly Dao to glance at the Ancient Divine Ore, and corresponding information appeared instantly.

...

Name: Ancient Divine Ore

Grade: Ninth-tier Extreme

Origin: Nourished by the blood of a supreme powerhouse, later fused with the Spirit Root of Heaven and Earth, evolving over endless ages.

...

Name: Gu Qianqiu

Essence: Human

Stage: Eighth-tier Perfection

Constitution: None

...

Ninth-tier Extreme material!

Eighth-tier Perfection powerhouse!

If it were his previous Dharma Body, Gu Qingyang might have handed over the Ancient Divine Ore readily, but now, he had no intention of relinquishing such a Supreme Treasure.

Immediately.

Gu Qingyang put away the Ancient Divine Ore and said calmly, "Apologies, I also need this item to forge a Supreme Treasure. I hope you can seek something else!"

"I am the Emperor of the Red Blood Dynasty, Gu Qianqiu. The Red Blood Dynasty is a top force on the Fire Cloud Continent, possessing countless heavenly and earthly treasures.

As long as you are willing to hand over the Ancient Divine Ore, whatever I can do, all the resources of the Red Blood Dynasty are at your disposal. What do you think?"

Gu Qianqiu, not angered, again persuaded, taking a step forward as he spoke. The aura of his eighth-tier perfection invisibly spread, causing the void to silently annihilate.

Evidently.

Gu Qianqiu intended to use force to pressure, yet he did not push Gu Qingyang too hard, still offering him a way out.

After all, Gu Qianqiu deemed the conditions he offered as extremely generous, thinking that as long as the person before him was not foolish, there would be no reason to refuse.

After all—

The reputation of the Red Blood Dynasty is renowned not just on the Fire Cloud Continent but is also quite prominent in the cosmic starry sky.

But unfortunately.

Gu Qianqiu presumed the person before him would willingly hand over the Ancient Divine Ore upon hearing of the Red Blood Dynasty’s reputation.

Gu Qingyang said, "If you can come up with materials of the same tier, then there is no problem trading the Ancient Divine Ore with you."

"Oh well, it seems you’re indeed not interested in trading. In that case, I apologize for bothering you!"

Gu Qianqiu shook his head slightly, a look of regret appearing on his face, then lightly clasped his fists and turned to leave.

Seeing the other party’s figure vanish, Gu Qingyang narrowed his eyes, also intending to turn and leave.

Just at the moment he turned, a streamer shattered the void and came, a deadly crisis surged in his heart, making Gu Qingyang pause, instinctively turning and pointing with great force.

"Boom—"

The Finger Gang turned into Sword Qi, tearing through space, fiercely striking the streamer.

The collision of two extremely powerful forces caused a hundred-mile space to explode. The streamer flew sideways, and Gu Qingyang finally saw that what was supposed to be the streamer was actually a Divine Sword.

As the Divine Sword flew sideways.

A palm suddenly appeared, directly gripping the sword hilt, and at the next moment, the departing Gu Qianqiu reappeared. The difference was, at this moment, his face was icy, and his gaze upon Gu Qingyang was as if looking at a dead man.

"Boom!"

Without a word, Gu Qianqiu wielded the Divine Sword to slash out, the Emperor Sword Qi sweeping grandiosely, making it instinctually feel like an emperor’s arrival, compelling one to submit.

Gu Qingyang’s eyes turned cold, the Divinity Transformation Sword Technique burst out, endless Sword Qi like a milky way submerged the void, the overwhelmingly powerful force shattered everything, causing Gu Qianqiu’s expression to change dramatically.

"You’re not an ordinary eighth-tier cultivator!"

Per his perception, Gu Qianqiu only thought the other was merely beginning at the eighth-tier, but now seeing Gu Qingyang’s real strike, he realized he was mistaken.

The person before him wasn’t just an ordinary eighth-tier cultivator.

The power of the Divinity Transformation Sword Technique let Gu Qianqiu feel an extremely strong pressure, something he only sensed from a handful of individuals.

Among these people, all had stepped into the ninth tier, the supreme existence.

On the Fire Cloud Continent, ninth-tier powerhouses are revered as Great Emperor powerhouses.

"No, that’s not right!"

"You’re not a ninth-tier Great Emperor, you’re a Half-Step Emperor!"

After the shock, Gu Qianqiu quickly reacted, realizing that although Gu Qingyang’s revealed strength was formidable, it was fundamentally different from a ninth-tier Great Emperor.

In essence, the person before him wasn’t a true Great Emperor but merely had one foot stepped into the Great Emperor Realm.

Upon this realization.

Gu Qianqiu’s eyes filled with fighting intent.

"Even if you are a Half-Step Emperor, so what, I have also slain powerhouses at the Half-Step Emperor level. Since you refuse to hand over the Ancient Divine Ore, you are destined to fall here!"

"Let me demonstrate the Imperial Extreme Sword Dao I personally created!"

Upon saying this.

The sword was drawn.

Within Gu Qianqiu’s physical body, a terrifying Blood Qi Power dispersed, weaving into an Emperor’s phantom in the void, identical to his own.

The Emperor’s phantom manifested.

Gu Qianqiu swung a sword, the emperor’s might shattering space, the supreme Sword Dao transformed into a domain descending.

At this moment.

Gu Qianqiu seemed to transcend into a true emperor, being the supreme ruler within the Sword Realm, infinite Sword Qi emerged within the hundred-mile space, engulfing Gu Qingyang in an instant.

"Such an Imperial Extreme Sword Dao!"

Gu Qingyang’s expression remained indifferent, his Divine Thought flickered, the Celestial Thunder Halberd abruptly appeared in his hand, then vast thunder rose, ten-thousand feet of thunderlight like a long rainbow, forcibly tore apart the entire Emperor’s Domain.

The Thunder Power shattered everything, the terrifying thunderlight coming into view, causing Gu Qianqiu’s previously confident visage to change dramatically.

"Emperor’s Soldier!"

He never expected Gu Qingyang to possess an actual Emperor’s Soldier.

There was no time to be shocked.

As the Celestial Thunder Halberd wrapped in supreme thunder came roaring, the shadow of death loomed, Gu Qianqiu could only use the Divine Sword to block, trying to intercept this fearful and fatal strike.

"Boom—"
