Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 339: Ambush

"This is the Cyan Yang Divine Court’s territory. Not only have you intruded without permission, but you also attacked and killed a Divine Court Elder. Such actions are punishable by death. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

I ask the Taiyuan Realm, are you prepared to face your demise?"

Gu Fang stepped forward through the air, his eyes icy, looking at Daoist Taifeng as if he were a man already sentenced to death.

As his words fell.

More powerful figures appeared in the void, and simultaneously, array patterns revealed themselves, a grand array had already formed.

Upon seeing the formation appear, many strong figures from the Taiyuan Realm changed their expressions.

The Blood Transformation Ancestor’s sinister eyes scanned the array before looking at Gu Fang, his voice cold and hoarse.

"You were prepared in advance, intending to use this formation to ambush us?"

At the moment the formation appeared, the Blood Transformation Ancestor understood.

Ji Xuan’s Tribulation Crossing was a premeditated plan.

Thinking carefully.

The Blood Transformation Ancestor also found many loopholes in it.

After all, the Cyan Yang Divine Court occupies a world; Ji Xuan could have crossed the tribulation within the Cyan Yang Realm, so why the need to do it in the Taiyuan Realm?

Even if the Cyan Yang Divine Court has seized a part of the Taiyuan Realm, crossing the tribulation here is also quite risky.

However.

Ji Xuan chose to cross the tribulation here, which explains a lot.

In the past, the Blood Transformation Ancestor would not have missed these issues.

But due to the enormous scale of the Ninety-Nine Celestial Tribulation, forces from all sides failed to notice this obvious problem.

After all.

The emergence of a genius suspected to rival Daoist Taiyuan caused an incredible stir.

If such a prodigy is not eradicated, it will inevitably spell disaster for the Taiyuan Realm in the future.

There is no other way.

The battle achievements of Daoist Taiyuan back then were indeed astounding.

Tribulation Stage slaying Mahayana Stage!

A testimony of Mahayana at five hundred years old, invincible in the world!

Any one of these accomplishments, if achieved by another practitioner, would be enough to stand out.

Daoist Taiyuan achieved both, thus becoming the number one in the world.

Throughout the endless ages of the Taiyuan Realm, no other prodigy could compare to Daoist Taiyuan.

So.

The appearance of a genius suspected to rival Daoist Taiyuan made other forces unable to focus on other matters.

Until now.

With the array’s appearance.

Only then did the Blood Transformation Ancestor and others suddenly realize.

Upon hearing this.

Gu Fang said indifferently, "If you hadn’t come, this array would not affect you, but since you have set foot here, you are destined to fall!"

Luring the strong figures from the Taiyuan Realm with Ji Xuan as bait was a decision made by all the high ranks of the Cyan Yang Divine Court.

Initially, the strengths of both sides were evenly matched, and to truly determine a victor, it would take time to gradually widen the gap.

However, upon learning of Ji Xuan’s impending testimony to the Dao, Gu Fang had different ideas.

When Gu Fang expressed his thoughts, all the high ranks of the Cyan Yang Divine Court shared the same opinion.

Therefore.

This situation arose.

In order to set up this formation, the Cyan Yang Divine Court expended many resources, led by an Eighth Rank Array Master from the Immortal Extinction Realm, with other Seventh Rank Array Masters assisting, finally achieving great success.

Although this array does not reach the Ninth Rank, it is still an Eighth Rank peak formation, enough to surround and kill those below the Mahayana Stage.

Gu Fang cast a seal, instantly activating the formation.

The universe turned upside down.

The void shattered.

Destructive thunderbolts rained down from all directions, seemingly intent on annihilating everything.

"Be careful!"

"Everyone, break the formation together!"

The strong figures of the Righteous and Demon Dao both changed their expressions dramatically, sensing a whiff of death amidst the thunder. If they let this power descend upon them, only doom awaited.

In an instant.

All cultivators joined forces, their combined might shattering everything, fiercely clashing with the overwhelming thunder.

For a moment.

Both sides fell into a stalemate.

But feeling the spiritual power in their bodies ebbing like a tide, many cultivators looked grim, with an underlying sense of anxiety.

No one expected the Cyan Yang Divine Court to lay an ambush here.

If they couldn’t break the formation, they would all perish today.

Among the crowd.

Daoist Taifeng also wore a grim expression.

His left hand, hidden inside his sleeve, held the Divine Jade given by Master Huan Yu, a Supreme Treasure containing a full-strength strike of the Mahayana Stage.

Using such a Supreme Treasure, the formation before them would undoubtedly break.

But the problem is.

If used to break the formation, Daoist Taifeng was unwilling in his heart.

Initially, when he first tried to attack Ji Xuan, he didn’t use the power of the Divine Jade, primarily aiming to save it, unless absolutely necessary; such a Supreme Treasure must not be used lightly.

Containing a full-strength Mahayana Stage strike, even in a top sect, it was considered a Sect’s Supreme Treasure.

Obtaining such a high-tier Supreme Treasure was by no means easy.

So.

Faced with the trapped formation, realizing only the Divine Jade could break it, Daoist Taifeng hesitated.

The pinnacle of an Eighth Rank formation, even with his full strength, was difficult to break.

However, there were quite a few Tribulation Stage powerhouses present; if they worked together, it might not be impossible to break the formation.

With that in mind.

Daoist Taifeng said, "Everyone, this formation is only a pinnacle Eighth Rank formation, not truly stepping into the Ninth Rank. As such, no matter how strong it is, it’s not completely unshakable.

If we can focus our attacks on one of its nodes, there’s a chance we can directly break this formation."

"It’s easy to say, but actually finding a formation node isn’t so easy. Are there any present who have mastery over formations?"

Spoke a middle-aged powerhouse, an Upper Void Elder of the Celestial Sword Sect, named Daoist Wanjian, whose strength was on par with Daoist Taifeng, both mid-stage Tribulation existences.

Upon hearing these words, the others fell into silence.

Indeed.

To break a formation node, one must first find it.

Randomly attacking means nothing unless there’s power beyond the formation’s limit; otherwise, breaking the formation is impossible.

For a top Eighth Rank formation, its nodes are elusive, impossible to find without appropriate array cultivation.

Daoist Taifeng’s face tensed.

He nearly overlooked this issue.

As such.

His initial plans had to be abandoned.

"Must I really use the Divine Jade?"

Daoist Taifeng’s expression was conflicted.

He didn’t want to waste the Divine Jade here.

At this time, Shangxu Zhenren said, "It’s fine if we can’t find the formation nodes; I possess an Array-Breaking Talisman left by Daoist Elder Shangye.

As long as everyone can shake this formation a little, I can use the Array-Breaking Talisman to find the node.

Then, if everyone attacks together, we can surely break the formation!"

These words brought a bright light to every cultivator’s eyes.

Shangye Zhenren!

This was a top Array Grandmaster of the entire Taiyuan Realm.

If Shangxu Zhenren carried an Array-Breaking Talisman from such an Array Grandmaster, there might really be hope for breaking the formation.
