Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree Chapter 46 - 45: Advancing Once More

Kunlun Mountain Range.

The Divine Tree towers high.

Gu Qingyang is now witnessing, from the perspective of a follower, the battle between Gu Fang and the Giant Ape Fierce Beast. At this level of combat, it naturally does not count for much to him now.

At the beginning.

Gu Qingyang thought that with the cultivation thods provided by the system, any cultivator at the third stage complete could possess power comparable to a fourth stage lower-tier Fierce Beast.

But when he truly witnessed the combat of other third stage complete cultivators, Gu Qingyang realized he had overestimated the cultivation technique and underestimated the Fierce Beasts.

Fierce Beasts possess strong innate physiques, an advantage humans do not have.

From the follower’s perspective, Gu Qingyang also witnessed so battles between third stage complete cultivators and fourth stage Fierce Beasts, where the forr was slightly weaker than the latter.

Strictly speaking.

Third stage complete cultivators are slightly stronger than their sa-stage Fierce Beasts, but crossing one whole stage is nearly impossible.

If one were to categorize them, it would roughly equate to half a step into the fourth grade.

Thus.

Gu Fang being able to confront a fourth stage lower-tier Fierce Beast and even kill it is rather intriguing.

"Either Gu Fang is exceptionally talented, with astounding potential akin to the legendary prodigies, capable of fighting across stages and even killing fourth stage Fierce Beasts while being in the third stage complete.

Or the opponent consud a Divine Fruit, resulting in so changes in their body, granting them stronger power!"

Between the two possibilities, Gu Qingyang leaned more toward the forr.

After all, amongst over twenty million humans, it isn’t unusual for so exceptionally talented prodigies to erge.

Gu Fang’s gradual rise to a third stage mid-tier evolutionist over the years of cataclysm shows a lot.

...

Na: Gu Qingyang

Essence: Divine Tree

Life Span: 16/50000

Stage: Fourth stage lower-tier (1965200/2000000)

Divine Kingdom: Third stage (18331000/1000000000)

Innate Divine Techniques: Divine Tree Spirit Root (Fourth stage), Divine Fruit (Fourth stage), Divine Whisper (Fourth stage), Eye of True Sight (Fourth stage), Divine Kingdom Domain (Fourth stage), Summon Wind and Rain (Fourth stage)

...

"Almost, just over forty thousand Evolution Value left. Once Gu Fang kills this Fierce Beast and sacrifices it, I’ll hit a breakthrough to fourth stage mid-tier!"

Gu Qingyang pondered silently.

If not for using a hundred thousand Evolution Value to condense a Divine Fruit, he would have broken through a month ago.

But it’s alright.

In the current state where danger hasn’t erupted, a month’s delay in breakthrough won’t change much.

On the contrary.

The ergence of a Saint Apprentice is a long-term investnt.

Since Gu Fang beca a Saint Apprentice, about three months have passed, and he’s already provided nearly a hundred thousand points of faith.

This shows how substantial the faith a Saint Apprentice can provide.

From the follower’s perspective.

Gu Fang fighting the fourth stage Fierce Beast, utilizing the third stage top-tier secret technique Mountain-Suppressing Divine Fist, has been cultivated to its peak, with each punch seemingly possessing the terrifying power to suppress mountains.

Even the fourth stage lower-tier Fierce Beast was forcibly suppressed, unable to gain the upper hand.

As ti passed, Gu Fang’s aura grew majestic, his fighting spirit surged, and the fourth stage Fierce Beast was completely suppressed, without any room for resistance.

"Boom!"

With a punch from Gu Fang, containing the full force of a Refining Organ complete strike, he instantly blasted the head of the Giant Ape Fierce Beast.

Fourth stage Fierce Beast slain.

Gu Fang imdiately chose to sacrifice it.

Gu Qingyang was constantly watching his data panel, and as soon as Gu Fang sacrificed the Fierce Beast, his Evolution Value successfully broke through the two million mark.

Imdiately.

Gu Qingyang chose to break through.

But this ti, unlike before, Gu Qingyang didn’t cause a big commotion; instead, he used his power to envelop the Kunlun Mountain Range like layers of mist, obscuring its scenery from view.

This technique is one of the secret techniques of the Divine Kingdom’s derivations, not providing much offensive or defensive power, rely acting as camouflage.

Certainly.

If soone were inside the Kunlun Mountain Range looking outward, it would appear no different from before.

Only when viewing from the outside in would one’s sight be sowhat obstructed.

The purpose of this, Gu Qingyang, was to imbue a mysterious atmosphere, enhancing his identity and status to be more unfathomable.

Furthermore.

Gu Qingyang didn’t want his every breakthrough to be observed by humans.

Mystery!

Is always worthy of reverence.

At this mont.

The breakthrough had already begun.

Gu Qingyang’s six-kiloter-tall Divine Tree body visibly rose to seven kiloters in height. Simultaneously, the Divine Kingdom Domain expanded from one thousand kiloters to one thousand five hundred kiloters.

Feeling the imnse spiritual power within, Gu Qingyang understood that his strength had increased significantly again.

...

Na: Gu Qingyang

Essence: Divine Tree

Life Span: 16/60000

Stage: Fourth stage mid-tier (15200/4000000)

Divine Kingdom: Third stage (18331000/1000000000)

Innate Divine Techniques: Divine Tree Spirit Root (Fourth stage), Divine Fruit (Fourth stage), Divine Whisper (Fourth stage), Eye of True Sight (Fourth stage), Divine Kingdom Domain (Fourth stage), Summon Wind and Rain (Fourth stage)

...

"Life span increased by ten thousand years, but for , it doesn’t make much of a difference. What matters is that breaking through from fourth stage mid-tier to fourth stage upper-tier has doubled the required Evolution Value.

This ans it will take at least a year or two to break through this barrier!"

Gu Qingyang mused.

A year or two is estimated based on humans launching a full-scale counterattack against the Fierce Beasts, accelerating the pace of their slaughter and sacrifice.

Otherwise.

Even if this ti were doubled, accumulating the Evolution Value needed for fourth stage upper-tier would still be uncertain.

However——

Gu Qingyang is not in a hurry now.

So things cannot be rushed; rather than being impatient, it’s better to adopt a calm mindset, facing upcoming challenges serenely.

After that.

Gu Qingyang imrsed his Divine Thought into heaven and earth again, continuing to listen to their voice and feel their emotions.

This wasn’t Gu Qingyang’s first ti doing this.

Over the past few months, every ti his Divine Soul recovered a little, Gu Qingyang would integrate his Divine Thought into the heavens and earth, to feel that initial aura and emotion.

Through several senses, the threads in Gu Qingyang’s mind beca clearer.

The current Heaven and Earth Will is contending with another mysterious existence, possibly an equal-level Heaven and Earth Will, or maybe a formidable being on par with it.

The confrontation between the two is incredibly enigmatic, and Gu Qingyang cannot perceive too much.

It’s just that through several senses, his side’s Heaven and Earth Will is gradually weakening, unable to match the mysterious existence.

Defeat.

Is rely a matter of ti.

As Gu Qingyang’s Divine Thought rged into heavens and earth this ti, a much stronger sorrow than in the past flooded his mind, his vision filled with blood red.

An ineffable Dao Rhy perated the blood red, making Gu Qingyang feel the sorrow of the Heaven and Earth Will through it.
