Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree Chapter 43: Bestowal of the Divine Fruit

Three days after the news of the Otherworld invasion spread, doomsday theories were rampant within the Federation.

In response to this,

the military took decisive action. Within less than three days, they located the source of the rumors, apprehending and imprisoning all those who deliberately spread the news to cause public panic.

Among them,

those who resisted arrest were killed on the spot by military cultivators.

Imdiately thereafter, senior officials of the Federation appeared on the news to address the issue of the Otherworld invasion, stating that the Federation’s strength was incomparable to before and that dealing with the invasion would pose no problem, greatly boosting morale.

After eliminating dissenting voices, the Federation utilized the Divine Kingdom chat group to cultivate a large number of third-tier cultivators, and then, led by these many third-tier cultivators, launched a full-scale attack on the Fierce Beasts.

...

"Gu Fang sacrifices a third-tier high-grade Fierce Beast and receives 3,500 Evolution Value points!"

"Gu Fang sacrifices a third-tier perfected Fierce Beast and receives 5,000 Evolution Value points!"

"Gu Fang sacrifices a fourth-tier low-grade Fierce Beast and receives 50,000 Evolution Value points!"

"Gu Fang sacrifices..."

In Gu Qingyang’s mind, the ssages of the sacrifices continuously appeared. He automatically filtered out the ordinary sacrifices, paying them no attention.

Only sacrifices above the third-tier caught Gu Qingyang’s interest.

"Another fourth-tier low-grade Fierce Beast; in these few months, this is the second fourth-tier Fierce Beast killed by the Human Federation!"

The sacrifice of a fourth-tier Fierce Beast indicates that the Human Federation now possesses the ability to slay fourth-tier Fierce Beasts.

Although there are still no appearances of fourth-tier evolvers or cultivators, as the saying goes, "many ants can kill an elephant"; as long as they are willing to pay the price, they can still overwhelm a fourth-tier Fierce Beast with a large number of third-tier cultivators.

Seeing this round of sacrifices completed by Gu Fang alone, Gu Qingyang realized that the Federation intended to concentrate their contributions on Gu Fang, allowing him to enhance his strength to the third-tier perfected stage.

A month ago,

Gu Fang’s Divine Kingdom store had broken through to the third tier, clearly a decision made by all the high-ranking officials of the Federation.

Otherwise,

even with Gu Fang’s high status, it would be impossible for him to claim all the Fierce Beast spoils for himself.

...

"This is the third-tier high-grade Realm-Breaking Pill!"

Gu Fang gazed at the Elixir in his hand, deeply inhaling to forcibly suppress his excitent.

To exchange for the third-tier high-grade Realm-Breaking Pill, most of the Federation’s battle achievents during this period were credited to him.

Without much deliberation, Gu Fang directly ingested the Elixir, and the previously exchanged third-tier top-tier Secret Technique, Vajra Body Tempering Technique, autonomously operated, wearing down the abundant power contained in the Elixir, causing him to close his eyes and patiently refine it.

"Boom!"

His vital energy vibrated.

Waves of extrely powerful forces surged within Gu Fang, refining impurities in his organs, causing his aura to increase at a visible pace.

When his aura rose to a critical point,

"Buzz—"

The sound of air buzzing resounded, and a turbulent wave of energy burst from Gu Fang, spreading in all directions.

The boiling power of blood and energy condensed into a faint blood mist around his body, then the blood mist receded back into his body, only then did Gu Fang open his eyes.

"Refining Organ late-stage, third-tier high-grade, it’s done!"

The smile appeared on the lips of this marshal of the ninth battle zone.

Refining Organ is a realm within Body Technique, where the first stage is Body Refining, the second stage is Blood Refining, and the third stage is Refining Organ.

From Body Refining to Blood Refining and then to Refining Organ, it’s a process of tempering the body, allowing one to maximize the potential contained within their physique, and thereby attain extraordinary power.

Although Gu Fang already possessed extraordinary power as a third-tier mid-grade evolver,

it wasn’t until he practiced the Vajra Body Tempering Technique and entered the Refining Organ realm that he suddenly realized how inadequate his forr control over his power was.

Before the breakthrough, when Gu Fang stepped into the middle stage of Refining Organ, his power was already significantly stronger than his forr third-tier mid-grade self.

At this mont, after stepping into the late stage of Refining Organ and breaking through to third-tier high-grade, Gu Fang felt confident in contending with past third-tier perfected evolvers.

"Just one step further, and I can reach the perfected stage of Refining Organ, equivalent to the third-tier perfected level!"

By reaching this level, Gu Fang would have the ans to deal with fourth-tier Fierce Beasts.

This,

is the might of third-tier top-tier Secret Techniques.

The unfortunate part is that truly reaching third-tier perfected is not easy; either relying on self-cultivation or exchanging for a third-tier top-tier Realm-Breaking Pill are the options.

The issue is that this level of Realm-Breaking Pill requires five million contributions.

To genuinely gather such a number of contributions rapidly, it would take at least several months.

"For now, the third-tier top-tier Realm-Breaking Pill is out of the question. Breaking through to third-tier high-grade is already quite an achievent, though it remains unknown when the fourth-tier store will be complete."

Gu Fang muttered to himself.

The third-tier store required a ten thousand contribution to open, the fourth-tier store looks to require a hundred thousand.

Regarding the contribution amount, Gu Fang certainly has enough.

Yet with the fourth-tier store not constructed, he can only patiently await it for now.

After all, if the fourth-tier store opens, with the Federation’s current capabilities, they have the ability to quickly produce a fourth-tier cultivator.

"Congratulations to Marshal Gu on breaking through to third-tier high-grade; the Federation’s power has increased once again, making the opportunity to reclaim lost ground even greater!"

Yang You expressed with a respectful tone.

Gu Fang smiled faintly, just about to say sothing when a voice suddenly appeared in his mind, montarily freezing his expression.

Noticing his change in expression, Yang You curiously asked, "Marshal, did sothing happen?"

Upon hearing the question,

Gu Fang did not conceal anything and directly said, "The Cyan Yang Divine Tree just sent a ssage for to visit the Kunlun Mountain Range; for the ti being, I will leave the matters here under your watch.

Before I return, refrain from taking any unnecessary actions. If a fourth-tier Fierce Beast appears, prioritize tactical retreat!"

"Yes!"

Yang You respectfully replied.

Even though he was curious about the Cyan Yang Divine Tree’s ssage, he also understood that so things are not ant for him to ask about.

Soon after,

Gu Fang called for a helicopter and departed from the place.

...

An hour later.

In front of the Azure Celestial Divine Tree, Gu Fang respectfully bowed, then said with awe, "May I ask why the Divine Tree summoned ? Has sothing happened?"

"Your faith is devout, and now that you have broken through to third-tier high-grade, I offer you sothing to aid in reaching third-tier perfected, as a reward!"

The calm voice of Gu Qingyang descended as divine radiance erged from the Azure Celestial Divine Tree, a Divine Spirit Fruit ford inexplicably, descending slowly before Gu Fang.

"This is a Divine Spirit Fruit; any being below the fourth-tier can advance one small tier by consuming it. Having reached third-tier high-grade, if you consu the Divine Spirit Fruit, you can break through to third-tier perfected."
