Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 278: So-Called Quasi-Emperors Are Nothing but Paper Tigers

Chapter 278: Chapter 278: So-Called Quasi-Emperors Are Nothing but Paper Tigers

The Divine Tree towers into the sky!

A figure dressed in cyan robe gradually steps through the air. Each step causes a tremor in the void, as if a green lotus blossoms, resembling an Emperor’s arrival.

His eyes are indifferent, as though nothing could attract his attention.

"Twenty Quasi-Emperors, twenty Saints, the Immortal Extinction Realm truly has extraordinary foundations over these years!"

Gu Qingyang looks at the severely injured Jiang Cauldron, then shifts his gaze to the other Quasi-Emperors.

For a moment.

Many people feel immense pressure.

"You must be Gu Qingyang!"

Feng Jian speaks.

He is a Quasi-Emperor of the Feng Family and the strongest among all the Feng Family cultivators in this battle.

Originally, he thought it would be easy for the allied forces to destroy the Cyan Yang Divine Court. But upon facing Gu Qingyang, Feng Jian suddenly realized the outcome of this battle was uncertain.

Although the Cyan Yang Divine Court, considered as traitors of the Taichu Sacred Land, has only five Quasi-Emperors at most,

Gu Qingyang before him exudes immense pressure. He might not be in the Great Emperor Realm yet, but his strength seems not far from a true Great Emperor.

Just a moment ago, the sword that severely injured Jiang Cauldron, if it were him, Feng Jian wouldn’t have had the confidence to retreat intact.

"Indeed, I am Gu Qingyang!"

Gu Qingyang slightly nods, then divine light emanates from his eyes. When the Eye of Heavenly Dao activates, all information about Feng Jian appears before him.

...

Name: Feng Jian

Essence: Human

Rank: Eighth Rank Superior

Constitution: None

...

Eighth Rank Superior!

Such strength places him among the top five of all the powerful beings Gu Qingyang has ever seen.

"Quasi-Emperor late stage, not bad strength!"

Gu Qingyang casually remarks, causing Feng Jian’s expression to darken.

Upon Gu Qingyang’s activation of the Eye of Heavenly Dao, Feng Jian feels a false impression of being seen through completely, as if none of his secrets can be hidden before the other party.

This feeling.

Leaves Feng Jian both furious and secretly alarmed.

Then.

Gu Qingyang looks towards others again.

As the Eye of Heavenly Dao activates one by one, no one’s information can be concealed.

Eighth Rank Inferior!

Eighth Rank Inferior!

Eighth Rank Superior!

Eighth Rank Intermediate!

...

Twenty Quasi-Emperors.

Among them, one has reached the peak of the Eighth Rank, three are Eighth Rank Superior, five are Eighth Rank Intermediate, and eleven are Eighth Rank Inferior.

And the one at the peak of the Eighth Rank is named Wu Peng, from the Immortal King Sacred Land.

Among all the powerful beings present, Wu Peng poses the greatest threat to Gu Qingyang.

After all.

An expert at the peak of the Eighth Rank is just a step away from ascending to the Great Emperor Realm.

Such an entity, even if weak, cannot possibly be too weak.

However—

Even if someone at the peak of the Eighth Rank Quasi-Emperor wants to truly step into the Ninth Rank Emperor Realm, it is not that easy.

"Those from different races shouldn’t set foot in the Immortal Extinction Realm. If the Cyan Yang Divine Court retreats now, we can pretend as if nothing happened.

But if you insist on not retreating, then we can only fight!"

Wu Peng slowly says.

His robust physique exudes a domineering aura from the ancient wilderness, and as he speaks, his eyes are half-closed, restraining divine light.

Originally, Wu Peng intended to destroy the Cyan Yang Realm directly, but after witnessing Gu Qingyang’s strength, he changed his mind.

Being able to severely injure Jiang Cauldron with a single sword strike from afar, the opponent’s strength is at least at the peak of Quasi-Emperor.

Furthermore.

If it were him taking the shot, Wu Peng wouldn’t be confident in severely injuring Jiang Cauldron with a single sword strike either.

This shows.

Gu Qingyang’s strength surpasses an ordinary Quasi-Emperor peak.

Engaging in a life-and-death struggle with such a strong opponent, even if they win in the end, it would be a costly victory, potentially leading to his own downfall.

Therefore.

Wu Peng changed his mind.

As long as the opponent leads their army to retreat to the Cyan Yang Realm, they can temporarily cease hostilities.

During this Golden Era, Wu Peng, as a Quasi-Emperor peak expert, is confident in claiming the Great Emperor status in the future era.

Once he breaks through to the Great Emperor Realm, dealing with the Cyan Yang Realm would be a simple task.

Moreover.

There is currently a threat from the Demon Race.

Thus, Wu Peng naturally does not wish to have a deadlock with the Cyan Yang Divine Court.

Upon hearing Wu Peng’s words, the other powerful figures from the major Sacred Lands and empires also remain silent.

Wu Peng’s concerns are their concerns now.

Originally, these forces came aggressively, but when Gu Qingyang wielded that sword, it seemed to have extinguished their vigor completely.

An expert like this is truly immeasurable.

Gu Qingyang, hearing this, says indifferently, "Over fifty years ago, when the passage between the Two Realms opened and the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land led cultivators into the Cyan Yang Realm, the war had already begun.

In war between the Two Realms, has there ever been a chance for peaceful coexistence?

Only when one realm completely suppresses the other can war truly end.

Now that the trend of the heavens and earth is on our Cyan Yang Divine Court, it’s belittling to think a few words could make me leave!"

"However, I can offer you a chance. If you swear a blood oath to swear allegiance to me, I will not harm you.

Once both realms come under the Cyan Yang Divine Court’s dominion, everyone will have the opportunity to ascend to the Great Emperor and even ascend to immortality in the future!"

Gu Qingyang’s words cause Wu Peng and others to look sullen.

"So it seems this matter cannot be resolved peacefully!"

Wu Peng’s voice turns icy.

Although he doesn’t wish to engage in a decisive battle with Gu Qingyang, it doesn’t mean he fears the outbreak of war.

If the Cyan Yang Divine Court refuses to retreat, then this battle is destined to be unavoidable.

Thus.

As Wu Peng finishes speaking, he takes a step forward. His blood qi surges into the sky, causing the heavens and azure sky to change color.

The terrifyingly immense pressure surges like colossal waves, overwhelming Gu Qingyang.

The pressure belonging to a Quasi-Emperor peak reveals itself without reservation from Wu Peng.

With Wu Peng revealing his strength, the other strong beings feel invigorated.

Clearly.

The presence of a Quasi-Emperor peak provides them with great confidence.

"Boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"

One after another, immensely powerful auras erupt, the space shatters like a mirror, and an abyss-like terrifying aura causes Chen Mountain and others to change their expressions drastically.

Fellow Quasi-Emperor experts, Chen Mountain and others sense the bone-chilling aura.

If they feel this way, one can only imagine how the other Saint powerhouses feel.

"Boom!"

Chen Mountain and others unleash their own power as well.

However, they have too few Quasi-Emperor experts on their side, unable to contend with the Immortal Extinction Realm’s side.

Only Gu Qingyang stands with arms behind his back, unwavering like an eternal rock, unaffected by the earth-shattering pressure.

Seeing the overwhelming blood qi power, Gu Qingyang raises his right hand, and a Divine Sword appears slowly from the shattering space.

The moment he grasps the sword hilt, his indifferent voice reaches Wu Peng and others’ ears.

"So-called Quasi-Emperors are nothing but clay chickens and pottery dogs!"

As his words fall.

The Divine Sword strikes down.

The dazzling sword light occupies everyone’s vision, and in an instant, it slices through layers of blood qi, causing Wu Peng and others’ expressions to change dramatically.
