Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree Chapter 22: Breakthrough to Tier 3 Superior, Eighth War Zone

Instant kill!

An effortless instant kill.

It was as if the Demon Ape wasn’t a top-tier fierce beast ranked tenth on the Fierce Beast List, but a weak, insignificant creature.

The earth-shaking battle everyone anticipated never erupted; the Demon Ape couldn’t even truly touch the Ancient Tree before it was instantly killed on the spot.

Silence!

Deathly stillness!

But after the silence, the live-stream chat went completely mad.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

"Instant kill, the Demon Ape was instantly killed!"

"I heard the Federation has a Fierce Beast List that only rank-four fierce beasts can make it onto. The Demon Ape was ranked tenth, considered one of the strongest among all rank-four fierce beasts, but it was unexpectedly instantly killed by the Ancient Tree!"

"The mighty power of the Ancient Tree!"

"The mighty power of the Ancient Tree!"

"Aweso..."

Everyone was in a frenzy, unable to contain their inner excitent.

Even though they had already witnessed the power of the Ancient Tree, they never imagined it would be this strong, instantly killing the top fierce beast ranked tenth.

...

Inside a mansion.

Xu Bo’s expression could no longer remain calm, and his gaze towards the Ancient Tree was filled with fervor.

Beside him, Xu Qing’s lips were slightly pursed, her heart also in turmoil.

...

Federation high command.

Now, including Ji Xuan, all the war zone marshals were dumbfounded, completely unprepared for what they saw.

After a long ti.

Gu Fang sighed deeply: "We underestimated the Ancient Tree of the Kunlun Mountain Range; its power is far more terrifying than we estimated.

Even with the strength of the Demon Ape, it was no match for it!"

Recalling the ti he saw the Ancient Tree in the Kunlun Mountain Range, although Gu Fang witnessed its power, compared to now, it pales in comparison.

The Demon Ape is dead.

Thrilling all Federation high command.

"The tenth-ranked Demon Ape isn’t a match for the Ancient Tree; the chances of it holding back the Beast Tide aren’t low. The Federation has hope!"

Soone was excited.

Others, though silent, had noticeably more eager eyes when looking at the live broadcast screen.

...

"Devoured a low-grade rank-four fierce beast, gained 50,000 Evolution Value!"

Corresponding information appeared, and Gu Qingyang only felt a surge of boundless power pouring into his body, strengthening him significantly after reaching rank-three mid-grade.

...

Na: Gu Qingyang

Essence: Ancient Tree

Lifespan: 15/15000

Rank: Rank-three mid-grade (100940/400000)

Divine Kingdom: Not developed (968500/1000000)

Innate Divine Techniques: Ancient Tree Roots (Rank-three), Ancient Tree Spirit Root (Rank-three), Divine Fruit (Rank-three), Divine Whisper (Rank-three), Eye of True Sight (Rank-three), Divine Domain (Rank-three)

...

"Evolution Value exceeded one hundred thousand; at this rate, it won’t be long before I can breach rank-three high-grade directly!"

Gu Qingyang’s usually calm mind was sowhat stirred.

Once he breaches rank-three high-grade, his power will beco even more terrifying.

Currently, at rank-three mid-grade, Gu Qingyang’s power is not inferior to low-grade rank-four fierce beasts. With the presence of the Divine Domain, there’s a chance to kill mid-grade rank-four fierce beasts.

If he can breach to rank-three high-grade, Gu Qingyang will be confident in handling mid-grade rank-four fierce beasts, and with the Divine Domain, high-grade rank-four fierce beasts can also be slain.

From a follower’s perspective during this ti, Gu Qingyang gained a lot of understanding of the power level of the Beast Tide.

After the Celestial Blood, few fierce beasts can truly break into rank-four.

The number of mid-grade rank-four fierce beasts is extrely rare.

As of now, Gu Qingyang hasn’t discovered the existence of any high-grade rank-four fierce beasts.

Conversely.

If he can breach to rank-three high-grade, Gu Qingyang will have the confidence to crush the Beast Tide.

Furthermore.

After killing the Demon Ape, Gu Qingyang noticed his faith surged dramatically, breaking through to over nine hundred thousand, just shy of reaching the million milestone.

A million in faith.

Which signifies the ability to develop a Divine Kingdom.

Moreover.

Gu Qingyang noticed that faith continues to grow rapidly, and in no ti at all, it had successfully exceeded one million.

However——

Gu Qingyang looked at the faith quantity exceeding a million and didn’t directly develop the Divine Kingdom.

He wasn’t sure what changes the developnt of the Divine Kingdom would bring and, with the fierce beast attacks, if the developnt of the Divine Kingdom is unaffected, it would be troubleso.

Therefore.

Gu Qingyang decided to hold off on developing the Divine Kingdom for now, planning to research its function thoroughly after all the fierce beasts are dealt with.

"The ancients were right, danger often accompanies opportunity. If my strength is insufficient to deal with the fierce beasts, then this Beast Tide is a dead end.

If my strength can resolve the fierce beasts, then the Beast Tide is an opportunity no less than Celestial Blood!"

Looking at the relentless and fearless fierce beasts, Gu Qingyang seed to see the hope of breaching rank-four.

At this mont, he wouldn’t hesitate.

After slaying the Demon Ape, Gu Qingyang continued to slaughter other fierce beasts. Hundreds of roots covered an area of sixty kiloters, and any fierce beast stepping into this land was instantly killed on the spot.

A large amount of Evolution Value flooded into Gu Qingyang’s body, making his power grow at a visibly rapid pace.

Soon.

Half a day passed.

Gu Qingyang lost count of how many fierce beasts he had slain; all he saw were nurous fierce beast corpses everywhere, to the point where even the earth could not fully bury them.

To clear these fierce beast corpses, Gu Qingyang directly manipulated his roots to lift these bodies and toss them elsewhere, clearing space for the Beast Tide to attack.

At the sa ti.

Gu Qingyang took another look at his data panel.

...

Na: Gu Qingyang

Essence: Ancient Tree

Lifespan: 15/15000

Rank: Rank-three mid-grade (415000/400000, breakthrough possible)

Divine Kingdom: Not developed (19520201000000)

Innate Divine Techniques: Ancient Tree Roots (Rank-three), Ancient Tree Spirit Root (Rank-three), Divine Fruit (Rank-three), Divine Whisper (Rank-three), Eye of True Sight (Rank-three), Divine Domain (Rank-three)

...

In just half a day, the required Evolution Value for breaching rank-three high-grade was fully collected, and the faith quantity surged by another million.

Under such conditions, Gu Qingyang did not hesitate and directly chose to breakthrough.

"Rumble!!"

The two-thousand-ter trunk of the Ancient Tree once again grew at a visible speed, soaring in an instant to two thousand five hundred ters.

At the sa ti.

The range of the Divine Domain expanded rapidly from sixty kiloters to one hundred kiloters.

All fierce beasts within the Divine Domain’s range fell one rank collectively and were slaughtered in an instant.

...

The live broadcast clearly showed the Ancient Tree’s trunk growing again, and everyone understood that the Ancient Tree’s power had once more broken new ground.

Especially seeing thousands of fierce beasts slaughtered instantly created a strong visual impact on others.

In an instant.

The entire eighth war zone was boiling.
