Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 287: Half-Step to Tier 10

Watching the majestic figure step out from the Human Emperor Sword, he too pointed with his right hand, piercing through space with a mighty Finger Gang. When the two forces collided, it seemed as if even the power of the Rule Dao was forcibly obliterated.

"So you are the Ancient Demon Emperor!"

The majestic figure looked up at the void. His eyes, once supposed to be lifeless, now appeared as deep as the stars, as if crossing endless time and space.

As his voice faded, the expressions of the strong from both races changed dramatically.

Everyone knows.

The Great Emperor’s Seal is merely a portion of power left by the Great Emperor of the past. Though terrifying in strength, it exists much like a puppet, devoid of any intellect.

But now.

As the Great Emperor’s Seal from the Human Emperor Sword was activated, what he spoke of was enough to indicate that the Great Emperor Illusion before us was more than just a simple power mark.

"Chi Yan pays respect to the Human Emperor!"

The Red Flame Divine General immediately bowed, eyes filled with uncontrollable excitement.

Human Emperor!

This is the Desolate Ancient Human Emperor!

The first Emperor of the Human Race.

The supreme being who led the Human Race to overthrow Demon Race’s rule, ushering in an era of prosperity for the Human Race.

Since the Imperial Court was established, many Human Emperors have lived through the ages, some being exceptionally talented in suppressing contemporary eras, yet none could compare to the Desolate Ancient Human Emperor.

In other words.

The status of the Desolate Ancient Human Emperor among the Human Race is akin to that of the Ancient Demon Emperor in the Demon Race.

At these words.

The Desolate Ancient Human Emperor merely glanced at him lightly, then refocused on the figure holding the Demon Emperor Bell.

As if in this whole world, only this one before him was worthy of his notice.

With the presence of the Desolate Ancient Human Emperor, the Ancient Demon Emperor’s illusion seemed to undergo some transformation, as he slowly spoke, his voice reverberating across the Azure Sky.

"Desolate Ancient Human Emperor, this is our second meeting, is it not?"

"Years ago, I fought against the Ancient Demon Emperor, traversing against the river of time. Unfortunately, there was no clear winner. Now, we have both perished, so let’s have another bout today."

"Indeed, this battle shall decide the survival of our two races!"

The Ancient Demon Emperor nodded.

As his words fell.

He raised a palm in suppression, and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi madly gathered, forming a Sky-Screening Palm Gang. In an instant, the space shattered, and its terrifying power tore it apart, turning it into boundless chaos.

This power.

Truly one that could destroy heavens and earth.

Even for a Quasi-Emperor powerhouse like the Red Flame Divine General, his blood and energy stagnated, and his Divine Soul quivered uncontrollably.

He would die!

If he faced this palm’s power, he would surely die!

In comparison, the earlier casual strike that injured him seemed trivial. This was the true strength of the opponent.

Seeing the chaos power surging forward, the Desolate Ancient Human Emperor waved his right hand in the void, gathering infinite Spiritual Qi into a Divine Sword that fell into his hand.

The next moment.

The Divine Sword slashed down.

Heaven and Earth were divided into Yin and Yang, day and night inverted.

The grand Sword Gang shattered everything, splitting even chaos directly, silencing the Dao Rules.

"Boom——"

As soon as the two ancient powerhouses made a move, the power shocked the entire Ancient Wilderness.

Seeing his palm blocked, the Ancient Demon Emperor’s expression remained unchanged, while the Demon Emperor Bell soared, toppling like an ancient bell covering heaven and earth, with water, fire, and wind rushing out.

The Human Emperor Sword, once in the hands of the Red Flame Divine General, instantly broke free and fell into the hands of the Desolate Ancient Human Emperor.

With the Emperor’s Soldier in hand.

The aura of the Desolate Ancient Human Emperor changed completely.

He gazed at the Demon Emperor Bell descending as if to refine the entire world, a serene smile appearing on his face.

Then.

The Emperor’s Soldier shone brightly.

"Boom!"

The two Emperor’s Soldiers collided in the void, their terrifying power sweeping across the four corners like a tidal wave.

The next moment.

The figures of the Desolate Ancient Human Emperor and the Ancient Demon Emperor vanished, with the void crumbling inch by inch. Under the ravaging power, everything turned into turbulence.

...

Above Qingming.

The divine might of the Emperor’s Soldiers roared, with the magnificent figures of two clashing in battle.

Both the Ancient Demon Emperor and the Desolate Ancient Human Emperor were pinnacle powerhouses of their respective eras, standing at the summit of cultivation, despite the endless ages in between.

The power marks left by such mighty figures were unparalleled by ordinary Great Emperors.

And in the mysterious void, a figure in a blue robe slowly appeared, observing the battle in the Qingming void with utmost calmness.

...

Name: Gu Xuanji

Essence: Great Emperor’s Seal (Human)

Rank: Ninth-tier Lower Grade (Half-step Tenth Tier)

Constitution: Human Emperor Saint Body

...

Name: Emperor God

Essence: Great Emperor’s Seal (Human)

Rank: Ninth-tier Lower Grade (Half-step Tenth Tier)

Constitution: Demon God Body

...

"Ninth-tier Lower Grade, interesting!"

Upon unleashing the Eye of Heavenly Dao, seeing the power levels of the Desolate Ancient Human Emperor and the Ancient Demon Emperor, Gu Qingyang could not help but be a little surprised.

Ninth-tier Lower Grade!

This indicates that both are at the Great Emperor level.

Had it been a true Great Emperor in person, Gu Qingyang wouldn’t have been surprised.

But one must understand.

Whether it is the Desolate Ancient Human Emperor or the Ancient Demon Emperor, both have been deceased for endless ages. What the Human Emperor Sword and the Demon Emperor Bell left behind is merely a portion of power marks.

To think that these power incarnations alone already possess a Ninth-tier Lower Grade strength, showcasing the terrifying might of the Desolate Ancient Human Emperor and the Ancient Demon Emperor.

More shocking than the Ninth-tier Lower Grade power, for Gu Qingyang, was another piece of information seen by the Eye of Heavenly Dao.

Half-step Tenth Tier!

This is the peak realm of the Desolate Ancient Human Emperor and the Ancient Demon Emperor.

It’s well known.

In the Immortal Extinction Realm, the ninth tier is the level of Great Emperor powerhouses.

Whether it’s the Celestial Thunder Emperor or the Great Emperors of other Sacred Land Empires, their powers are mostly at the Ninth-tier Upper Grade.

Even the Red-haired Corpse Demon seen in the Spiritual Forbidden Area was at the Ninth-tier Upper Grade level.

This shows.

Every invincible Great Emperor reigning over an era, their ultimate realm is not simply at the initial entry of the Great Emperor level.

Every Great Emperor powerhouse can reach the level of a late-stage Great Emperor, much stronger than the average ninth-tier.

However.

Gu Qingyang saw for the first time a Great Emperor powerhouse stepping into the Half-step Tenth Tier.

Or rather.

A powerhouse of this realm shouldn’t even be classified as a Great Emperor.

But rather.

Immortal!

"If the Ninth Tier is the Great Emperor, then the Tenth Tier must be the Immortal Realm long spoke of in the Immortal Extinction Realm. Reaching this realm allows for the pursuit of eternal life.

But regrettably, despite the genius of the Desolate Ancient Human Emperor and the Ancient Demon Emperor, neither broke through the Tenth Tier, indicating just how difficult it truly is to reach it!"

Gu Qingyang pondered.

As leaders of their races, they must be individuals of extraordinary talent.

Yet even with their talents, they couldn’t truly break through to the Tenth Tier.

The so-called Tenth Tier.

Is much harder than Gu Qingyang imagined.

Meanwhile.

The Desolate Ancient Human Emperor and the Ancient Demon Emperor stepping into the Half-step Tenth Tier realm indicates that their powers have already surpassed ordinary Great Emperors.

If pushed to classify this realm, such power could indeed be called Half-Immortal.
