Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 178: None Shall Return from Cyan Yang Realm!
The earth-shattering sword intent surged and tore the Azure Sky apart. The array capable of withstanding a True Monarch shattered like paper before this sword intent, effortlessly reduced to fragments. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Not only that.
The nine Daoist elders who set up the array were severely injured by the sword intent, barely escaping death on the spot.
"Not good, report to the Saint Master quickly!"
"The Qingyang Realm has invaded, we will fight to the death and not retreat!"
An elder from the Sacred Land coughed blood as he retreated, intending to deliver this news back to the Sacred Land, while some Daoists, even at the brink of severe injury, still attempted to stop Gu Qingyang and his group.
Yet.
Without the aid of the array, a heavily injured Fifth Step Daoist compared to a Sixth Step master is not much more than an ant.
Gu Qingyang and the others, in just a moment, resolved the elders from the Sacred Land.
After that, they looked towards the leaf that unleashed an earth-shattering sword intent to break the array. The once verdant leaf quickly withered, turning to ash and dissipating into nothingness.
"Many thanks to the Divine Emperor for your assistance!"
Gu Qingyang and the others bowed towards the vanishing leaf, their faces filled with awe.
Throughout the entire Cyan Yang Realm, there was truly only one in the Kunlun Divine Realm who could break a Sixth Step array with a single leaf.
However, in the presence of others, Gu Qingyang naturally referred to him as the Divine Emperor, rather than Father God.
At this moment.
Led by Yang Yan, the Cyan Yang Divine Court army also arrived, witnessing the scene of the leaf unleashing overwhelming sword intent and shattering the arrays of the Three Great Sacred Lands.
For a moment.
Many people’s expressions were filled with shock.
But soon, Yang Yan regained his composure and shouted sternly, "This battle aims to annihilate the Three Great Sacred Lands. All cultivators, follow me to the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land!"
After speaking.
Yang Yan strode through the air, heading towards the direction of the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land.
Behind him, Gu Qingyang and others, along with a million-strong army, followed closely.
For many, it was their first time stepping into the Ancient Wilderness. Even those cultivators who experienced the battle twenty years ago were only familiar with skirmishes at the Two Realms portal and were quite unfamiliar with territories beyond it.
But with the Divine Kingdom chat group, information about the Ancient Wilderness had long been thoroughly explored by the Divine Court, leaving no secrets about the locations of the Three Great Sacred Lands.
Currently among the Three Great Sacred Lands, the Celestial Yang Sacred Land is the weakest in strength, the Taixu Sacred Land is slightly superior, and the strongest is the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land.
This is the current ranking of the three major forces, as Gu Tiangang attaining sanctity naturally elevates the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land above the other two.
But prior to Gu Tiangang achieving sanctity, the Taixu Sacred Land and Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land were evenly matched.
Since the Cyan Yang Divine Court intended a counterattack, they needed enough momentum, hence targeting the strongest amongst the Three Great Sacred Lands, the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land, was pivotal.
Once the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land is eliminated, the remaining two Sacred Lands would pose no significant threat.
...
At the holy banquet, Gu Tiangang was all smiles as he conversed with various cultivators when the earth-shattering sword intent erupted, he suddenly stood up and looked towards the direction of the Two Realms portal, his smile already frozen.
This unforeseen event left other cultivators gazing at each other in dismay.
They were not Saints, naturally lacking Gu Tiangang’s keen perception.
"What strong sword intent!"
Gu Tiangang’s brows furrowed tightly, ignoring the others, his gaze fixed on the direction of the Two Realms portal, a foreboding misgiving surfacing in his heart.
Just then, an elder hurriedly approached, whispering some words in Gu Tiangang’s ear, causing his expression to dramatically change.
"What!"
Gu Tiangang was furious, terrifying Saint-level aura erupted, warping space around him. Everyone at the banquet wore expressions of alarm and looked towards him with eyes filled with terror.
Those with weaker cultivation even felt their blood and energy roiling, a strong urge to vomit blood.
Those closest to Gu Tiangang, like Zhang Ming and others, faced with this Saintly pressure, wore grave expressions.
Even though they had experienced Gu Tiangang’s power in simulations, facing the real Saintly pressure was inevitably shocking.
The gap between the Sixth and Seventh Steps is akin to the gap between Saints and mortals.
Such a formidable being, every word and deed carries terrifying power.
Now as Gu Tiangang raged, the entire Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land was engulfed in turbulent winds, dark clouds gathering as if a storm brewed.
Such is the mark of strong beings, whose emotions can alter celestial phenomena.
Those cultivators who had not truly witnessed a Saint’s power, upon seeing such phenomena, could hardly conceal their inner shock.
For a long while.
Gu Tiangang finally barely restrained his inner fury, that Saintly pressure abated significantly, allowing others to quietly breathe a sigh of relief.
"Everyone, I have just received word that cultivators from the Cyan Yang Realm have invaded the Ancient Wilderness. The elders from the Three Great Sacred Lands guarding the Two Realms portal have all fallen.
This battle concerns the future of the entire Ancient Wilderness. As members of the Ancient Wilderness, you should march alongside the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land against the Cyan Yang Realm cultivators!"
Gu Tiangang’s words caused the gathered cultivators to change color again.
"What, the Cyan Yang Realm invaded at this juncture!"
"What boldness from the Cyan Yang Realm! We have not yet initiated strikes, yet they repeatedly invade the Ancient Wilderness. Today, they must be taught a lesson from which they shall not return."
"Indeed, the Ancient Saint Master has already attained sanctity. The Cyan Yang Realm is of little consequence."
"In this battle, not only should the Cyan Yang Realm’s army be annihilated, but the Cyan Yang Realm itself should be wholly eradicated to elevate our Ancient Wilderness’s prestige!"
Every cultivator was filled with righteous indignation, eager to head straight to the battlefield and eradicate the cultivators from the Cyan Yang Realm.
For them, the Cyan Yang Realm’s invasion was a suicidal move.
In the battle twenty years ago, the Cyan Yang Realm was repelled by the Ancient Wilderness. Though the subsequent defeat of the Three Great Sacred Lands was due to entering the Cyan Yang Realm’s home turf and being suppressed by the Heavenly Dao.
Now that Gu Tiangang has attained sanctity, the insignificant Cyan Yang Realm should be easily swept away.
Thus.
Gu Tiangang was equally confident.
He initially did not intend to act against the Cyan Yang Realm so swiftly, given that Gu Qingyang posed a tricky challenge, especially since the latter remained entrenched in the Cyan Yang Realm, and Gu Tiangang dared not rashly enter.
Having suffered several losses due to the Heavenly Dao Domain’s suppression, Gu Tiangang naturally recognized the strength of this Heavenly Dao Domain.
Of course.
In Gu Tiangang’s view, now that he has attained sanctity, the Heavenly Dao Domain of the Cyan Yang Realm might not suppress him as before. But to be thorough, he planned to wait until his cultivation advanced further before acting against the Cyan Yang Realm.
Now, however, with the Cyan Yang Realm initiating war and having slain several elders from the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land, this fully ignited Gu Tiangang’s wrath.
Just as he had attained sanctity through tribulation crossing and had yet to truly test his strength, now using the Cyan Yang Realm as the test subject seemed perfect.
Yet in twenty years’ time, what changes the Cyan Yang Realm underwent remained unclear to him.
At this thought, Gu Tiangang looked towards Zhang Ming, Gu Fang, and others, regaining his original dominance, and said with a faint smile, "With small world cultivators invading, I wonder if you all are willing to join the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land?"
Zhang Ming smiled and replied, "Very well, as a Saint Son, I too want to see what kind of world dares invade the Ancient Wilderness."
"Your willingness to join means our Ancient Wilderness gains more assurance for victory in this battle!"
Gu Tiangang nodded in satisfaction, the last trace of concern in his heart dissipated.
In his eyes, Zhang Ming and others came from Great Emperor-level influences, their cultivations far from weak, and in terms of true strength, they likely rivaled a True Monarch at completion.
With such strong allies to aid, the Ancient Wilderness side naturally gained ample confidence.
Gu Tiangang’s eyes flickered with dangerous light, as if he already envisioned the Cyan Yang Realm’s complete downfall.
"In this battle, I demand that the Cyan Yang Realm shall not return!"
