Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 228: Subduing a World, the Youngest Saint!

Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Subduing a World, the Youngest Saint!

The Divine Sword shattered.

The cold blade of the spear pierced through the Protective Gang Qi, slicing directly across Gu Qianqiu’s neck.

In an instant.

All the power vanished completely.

Gu Qianqiu’s body stood motionless in place, a bloody line appeared at the neck, then the head detached from the body, plummeting towards the desolate planet below.

Thus.

A powerful warrior of the eighth rank fell just like that.

Watching Gu Qianqiu’s falling corpse, Gu Qingyang took a step forward, already landing inside the planet.

Volcanoes erupted.

Storms raged.

All sorts of terrifying anomalies followed the descent of Gu Qianqiu’s corpse, but were instead suppressed by a formidable force, gradually calming down.

Seeing such a scene, Gu Qingyang’s eyes flickered slightly.

"An eighth-rank powerhouse can already suppress a world with their power. Now that Gu Qianqiu has fallen here, his power suppresses this place. Perhaps in the future, life could emerge, transforming into a life star!"

Now the volcanoes are calm, the storms have subsided.

The strength of an eighth-rank powerhouse is unmistakably visible.

However.

Even if life could truly emerge in the future, it is not a matter of overnight.

After all, the gestation of life involves time measured in tens of thousands to millions of years, definitely not a simple matter.

Then.

Gu Qingyang directly picked up a piece of mountain rock, carved it into a stele, and inscribed his battle achievement on it.

Gu Qingyang slew Gu Qianqiu of the Red Blood Dynasty here!

——

"The Blood Emperor has been away from the dynasty for a hundred years. It’s uncertain when he will return. Now, other forces are restless, constantly violating the borders of our Red Blood Dynasty.

If this matter is not handled, I fear trouble will be immense."

Inside the hall of the Red Blood Dynasty, a minister of the Red Blood Dynasty spoke in a deep voice.

Other ministers, while silent, had slightly stern gazes.

The Red Blood Dynasty has stood for hundreds of years, intimidating the world.

The Blood Emperor, Gu Qianqiu, was a top-tier powerhouse of his time, sweeping through all forces and establishing the Red Blood Dynasty, a truly unrivaled force.

"Hmph, the Emperor has only been away for a hundred years. There’s no need to care about those jumping clowns. Dispatch the army to suppress them directly.

When the Emperor returns, he will naturally eradicate them all!"

The speaker was a young man on the throne, the Crown Prince of the Red Blood Dynasty and direct son of Gu Qianqiu, named Gu Shentong.

His talent was exceptional. Now, not yet two hundred years old, he had already stepped into the Saint realm, becoming the youngest Saint powerhouse of the Red Blood Dynasty.

Even stepping into the Quasi-Emperor realm in the future would not be a problem.

It can be said.

Gu Shentong was the acknowledged successor of the Red Blood Dynasty.

So when Gu Qianqiu ventured into the Cosmic Starry Sky in search of a Supreme Treasure to prove his path, Gu Shentong temporarily took charge of the court’s affairs.

At that moment.

A hurried figure ran in, face full of panic.

"Your Highness, something... something has happened!"

"What has you so alarmed?"

Gu Shentong frowned slightly, a foreboding feeling arising in his heart, yet outwardly maintaining composure.

He could recognize.

The person before him was a tributor of the Royal Family guarding the Soul Hall.

The gazes of other ministers also landed on the figure.

With a trembling voice, the royal tributor said, "His Majesty’s... His Majesty’s Soul Lamp has extinguished!"

"Boom!"

An immediate surge of powerful aura erupted from Gu Shentong’s body, and in the next moment, he vanished from the hall.

Simultaneously.

The faces of the other ministers all changed drastically.

...

Soul Hall.

This place stored the Soul Lamps of all the top-tier powerhouses of the dynasty. As long as a Soul Lamp remained lit, it symbolized the immortality of the powerhouse it belonged to.

Among all the Soul Lamps, one stood high above, dominating the others.

This was Gu Qianqiu’s Soul Lamp.

The supreme powerhouse who founded the Red Blood Dynasty.

The Blood Emperor!

Gu Qianqiu!

However.

The Soul Lamp representing Gu Qianqiu had now extinguished entirely. When Gu Shentong arrived and saw the snuffed-out Soul Lamp, his always composed face dramatically changed.

"Father!"

He could not have anticipated that Gu Qianqiu, who had left the Red Blood Dynasty for a hundred years, would abruptly fall.

If this news were to spread, the Red Blood Dynasty would undoubtedly be in turmoil without end.

After all, the Red Blood Dynasty’s dominance stemmed from having a Quasi-Emperor perfection powerhouse like Gu Qianqiu holding fort.

Even if he was away for a hundred years, other forces only dared test the waters against the Red Blood Dynasty, not daring to act openly and boldly.

The Blood Emperor lives.

Who dares to make a move?

Once Gu Qianqiu returned, a reckoning was sure to ensue.

Moreover, considering Gu Qianqiu’s age, it was indeed possible that his endpoint was not at the Quasi-Emperor perfection, with a certain probability of becoming a true Great Emperor Powerhouse in the future.

If a Great Emperor emerged, the Red Blood Dynasty would be unshakeable.

But.

Now there was nothing left.

Gu Qianqiu had fallen.

The Red Blood Dynasty lost its greatest pillar.

Gu Shentong couldn’t even imagine.

If the news of Gu Qianqiu’s fall spread, what kind of upheaval it would provoke.

At this moment.

The other ministers also arrived one after another.

Upon seeing the extinguished Soul Lamp above, everyone’s expressions drastically changed.

All of them had only one thought at this juncture: the sky over the Red Blood Dynasty was about to change.

Gu Shentong turned back to face the crowd, coldly saying, "No one is to divulge today’s events. Should any information leak, it will be treated as treason, implicating nine generations!"

"We understand!"

Everyone could hear the murderous intent in Gu Shentong’s words and hastily bowed in acknowledgment.

The fall of Gu Qianqiu was a monumental event, and naturally, he could not allow such news to spread.

Watching the crowd, traces of concealed killing intent occasionally flickered in Gu Shentong’s eyes.

He felt an impulse to silence them all, but this thought was quickly dispelled by himself.

Here stood the ministers of the entire Red Blood Dynasty; wiping them all out would have unimaginable consequences.

Moreover.

Gu Shentong was a Saint, yet not all present were without Saints themselves, making absolute silencing an impossibility.

Then.

Gu Shentong said, "General Shangguan, immediately lead three hundred thousand troops to the border, exterminating all invaders of our Red Blood Dynasty’s territory.

This war will teach the world that the dignity of the Red Blood Dynasty is inviolate!"

"I accept the order!"

A burly middle-aged general stepped forward to accept the command.

His aura was imposing, clearly a powerhouse of Saint level.

Gu Shentong issued several more commands, mostly targeting forces that had previously offended the Red Blood Dynasty.

If Gu Qianqiu hadn’t fallen, these would be minor issues easily resolved upon his return.

But now.

Gu Shentong had no choice but to act.

After all, they couldn’t let the news of Gu Qianqiu’s fall leak, and the Red Blood Dynasty needed to show a tough stance externally; only in this way could they dispel some people’s suspicions.

The other ministers bowed in unison, accepting the orders.

"I will now enter seclusion for a time. Do not disturb unless absolutely necessary!"

Finally, Gu Shentong issued the last command.

He intended to enter seclusion to break through.

A Saint was insufficient to keep the entire Red Blood Dynasty stable; only by breaking through to the Quasi-Emperor realm could he uphold the dynasty’s banner.
