Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 261: I, the Emperor Gu Qingyang

Just as various factions were preparing to take action against the Cyan Yang Divine Court, a sudden piece of news emerged, stirring up huge waves and leaving the world in shock.

Demon invasion!

The Demon Suppression Barrier, established since Ancient Times, has been breached.

All cultivators guarding the barrier were mostly massacred by the Demon Race, with only a handful surviving.

As soon as this news broke out.

All major Sacred Lands and sects were deeply shaken.

"Damned, the Demon Race invading at this moment must be related to the Cyan Yang Divine Court!"

Celestial Thunder Saint Master Duanmu Yan’s face was filled with rage, yet there was a faint hint of fear in his eyes.

Demon Race!

This top-tier race that once oppressed the Human Race for eons, later defeated by the Human Emperor, Duanmu Yan truly felt cautious.

Despite the Demon Race being weaker now, they were once equals with the Human Race.

The massive manpower and resources spent by the Ancient Imperial Court to build the Demon Suppression Barrier showed their fear of the Demon Race.

Now.

The Demon Suppression Barrier is broken.

The Demon Race invades on a massive scale.

The implications of this are self-evident.

At the moment when various powers are about to deal with the Cyan Yang Divine Court, the Demon Race’s sudden invasion, Duanmu Yan was no fool and naturally thought of the connection between the two.

There’s no choice.

It’s just too coincidental.

In front of Duanmu Yan, the man in green showed a cold gaze: "Since the end of the Desolate Ancient era and the defeat of the Demon Emperor, the Demon Race have always been unwilling to remain confined in the Demon Realm.

During Ancient Times, the Demon Race often intended to invade, to recreate the glory of the Primordial Era.

This is why the Ancient Imperial Court established the Demon Suppression Barrier, to halt the Demon Race’s progress and to resist the Fierce Beasts of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.

Now that the Demon Suppression Barrier is broken, the Demon Race is clearly going all out; any mistake in this battle could lead to the Human Race experiencing the ancient scene once more!" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Primordial Era!

Humans were like livestock!

The highlight of the Demon Race was also the darkest time for the Human Race.

Though no strong person can live from the Primordial Era to now, those ancient years are deeply rooted in the Human Race’s blood, with historical records to trace.

Duanmu Yan’s expression was also unpleasant: "What do the ancestors think we should do now?"

"The Demon Realm is adjacent to Celestial Desolation, and the Demon Race invading Celestial Desolation will be the first to suffer, but Celestial Desolation’s strength is not weak either, even if the five Great Emperor-level powers are not rivals to the Demon Race, they should be able to hold them off for a time.

As you said, the Demon Race invading is likely related to the Cyan Yang Divine Court, and if that’s the case, we’ll eliminate the Cyan Yang Divine Court first.

Even if Celestial Desolation’s forces are tied up, with the power of the current Cyan Yang Divine Court, the remaining forces joining hands should be enough to wipe it out!"

The man in green spoke without urgency.

Though the Demon Race invasion is severe, the Cyan Yang Divine Court is also a problem.

During this time since emerging, the man in green has understood the situation of the Cyan Yang Divine Court and thus did not think the Cyan Yang Divine Court could withstand the strong forces of all sides.

Eliminate the Cyan Yang Divine Court first, then deal with the Demon Race.

Ultimately.

The Demon Race’s strength is definitely not as great as the Human Race’s.

Otherwise.

The Demon Race’s invasion would have started long ago, rather than being so peaceful for so many years.

Upon hearing this.

Duanmu Yan nodded, and just as he decided to give orders, an elder suddenly rushed in from outside.

"Reporting to Saint Master, something bad has happened!"

"What makes you so flustered?"

Duanmu Yan slightly frowned, a bad premonition arose in his heart.

The elder said: "A message has come, the Cyan Yang Divine Court has launched a massive invasion, the Shanggong Family has been attacked, they specifically came to the Sacred Land for aid!"

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Yan’s expression changed slightly.

As an established Great Emperor-level power, the Celestial Thunder Sacred Land had many noble families and sects attached below, paying tribute every year for protection.

Furthermore.

These noble families and sects would send some talented prodigies to be cultivated within the Celestial Thunder Sacred Land.

The Shanggong Family was one such top-tier family affiliated with the Celestial Thunder Sacred Land.

Tens of thousands of years ago.

Saint Shanggong once produced a Saint.

Although that Saint fell in the later great era, it still shows that the Shanggong Family is not without its foundations.

Now that the Shanggong Family is attacked by the Cyan Yang Divine Court, Duanmu Yan was naturally infuriated.

"So, the Cyan Yang Divine Court is indeed related to the Demon Race, they are also part of the Human Race, yet they dare to collude with the Demon Race, truly deserving of death..."

Just as Duanmu Yan was about to give orders, he suddenly felt an inexplicable palpitation, and the man in green changed his expression, vanishing from the great hall directly.

The next moment.

"Boom——"

A shocking wave erupted, violently shaking the entire Celestial Thunder Sacred Land.

Mountains collapsed.

The man in green, with blood-stained garments, looked at the figure in azure clothes in the void, usually unfazed ancient features were now showing a hint of shock.

"Who are you!"

"I am Gu Qingyang!"

Gu Qingyang stood with hands behind his back, looking down at the man in green with indifferent eyes, activating the Eye of Heavenly Dao, revealing the man’s level in his eyes.

Eighth tier, middle grade!

In other words, a Quasi-Emperor mid-stage.

Although Gu Qingyang had previously known that these ancient Sacred Lands were profoundly powerful, seeing a Quasi-Emperor powerhouse appear before him still came as a bit of a surprise.

Indeed.

These ancient Sacred Lands had unfathomable depths.

If he hadn’t collaborated with the Demon Race, solely relying on the Cyan Yang Divine Court’s power, it would have been quite difficult to handle the entire Immortal Extinction Realm.

After all.

Most of Gu Qingyang’s power was being restrained by Taiyuan Realm’s Heavenly Dao, leaving just a Dharma Body to hold the fort.

In his prime, Gu Qingyang was confident he could suppress all sides.

But now.

Gu Qingyang opted for a cautious approach.

Compared to Gu Qingyang’s surprise, the man in green was truly shocked.

From Duanmu Yan’s words, he learned that Gu Qingyang was immensely powerful; but upon actual confrontation, he discovered Gu Qingyang’s terrifying strength.

In almost one move, the man in green was injured at Gu Qingyang’s hands.

Such strength.

Made him almost think he was facing a Great Emperor powerhouse.

However.

The man in green knew very well that the person in front of him couldn’t be an actual Great Emperor, for if a Great Emperor were present, he would already be dead, rather than still standing here.

However——

Even if the other person is not a Great Emperor, he is at the top tier of a Quasi-Emperor.

Such power, how could it not shock the man in green.

"So you are the Divine Emperor of the Cyan Yang Divine Court, your power indeed matches the rumors, but to come to Celestial Thunder Sacred Land alone, do you really think you can destroy our Celestial Thunder Sacred Land with just your strength?"

The man in green’s eyes gradually grew cold, and as he spoke, his wounds completely healed, unleashing the full aura of a Quasi-Emperor mid-stage, with an overwhelming presence shaking the Azure Sky.

The person in front is indeed a top-tier Quasi-Emperor, but as a Quasi-Emperor from thirty thousand years ago, the man in green had no fear of facing another Quasi-Emperor.

So.

As his words ended, the man in green had already broken through the void, charging towards Gu Qingyang.
