Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 217: Destroying the Emperor’s Soldier, Power Soars!

Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Destroying the Emperor’s Soldier, Power Soars!

Kunlun Divine Realm.

Gu Qingyang gazed at the Nine Suns Flame Banner on the altar, as a massive amount of spiritual power pressed down upon it, causing this Emperor’s Soldier from the Great Sun Sacred Land to struggle violently. Endless flames surged forth, yet it still couldn’t break free.

Now, two choices lay before Gu Qingyang.

First, to subdue the Nine Suns Flame Banner.

Second, to destroy the Nine Yang Flame Banner and directly extract the Heavenly Dao Origin within it.

The benefits of the former are self-evident; refining another Emperor’s Soldier could enhance one’s own power.

After all, any Emperor’s Soldier possesses extraordinary might.

As for the latter, it depends on how much Heavenly Dao Origin the Emperor’s Soldier can provide.

"All divine soldiers are ultimately external objects; only one’s own strength is the root of everything. If I can break through to Tier Eight, even without using the power of an Emperor’s Soldier, I could sweep through powerhouses of the same tier. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Even in face of a Tier Nine powerhouse, I would have some confidence to contend!"

Gu Qingyang’s most pressing need now is to advance his own cultivation level.

Tier Seven low-grade is simply too weak.

With this thought in mind.

Gu Qingyang promptly made a decision.

Then, divine thought landed on the Nine Suns Banner, beginning to extract the Heavenly Dao Origin within it.

The Emperor’s Soldier sensed the crisis and struggled even more fiercely, but unfortunately, in Gu Qingyang’s domain, the Nine Suns Banner had no possibility of escaping its predicament.

Once the Heavenly Dao Origin of the Emperor’s Soldier was extracted, Gu Qingyang, even though he had anticipated it, couldn’t help but be astonished.

Because.

The Heavenly Dao Origin contained within the Emperor’s Soldier was too abundant.

So much that even Gu Qingyang felt shocked.

As the vast Heavenly Dao Origin was extracted, the Nine Suns Banner let out a mournful wail, its remaining Emperor’s Might utterly dissipated, and then it fell to the mundane, becoming an ordinary object.

At this moment.

Gu Qingyang’s attention was no longer on the Nine Suns Flame Banner but turned to his data panel.

...

Name: Gu Qingyang

Essence: Heavenly Dao Divine Tree

Life: Immortality

Rank: Tier Seven low-grade (600 million / 2 billion)

Divine Kingdom: Tier Six (45 billion / 1 trillion)

Heavenly Dao Origin: 9000

Innate Divine Techniques: Heavenly Dao Spirit Root (Tier Seven), Heavenly Dao Fruit (Tier Seven), Eye of Heavenly Dao (Tier Seven), Heavenly Dao Domain (Tier Seven), Memory Reading (Tier Seven)

...

Nine thousand points of Heavenly Dao Origin!

Just a little more, and the Heavenly Dao Origin could surpass ten thousand.

This was the most Heavenly Dao Origin Gu Qingyang had ever collected in his history, without exception.

Before refining the Nine Suns Banner, Gu Qingyang’s Heavenly Dao Origin had just broken through to two thousand in total; now reaching nine thousand, it was evident that the Emperor’s Soldier alone provided him with nearly seven thousand points of Heavenly Dao Origin.

What kind of concept is seven thousand points of Heavenly Dao Origin?

Calculated at a rate of one to a million.

Seven thousand points of Heavenly Dao Origin is equivalent to 7 billion Evolution Value, and for Gu Qingyang to break through from a Tier Seven low-grade to a mid-grade only required 2 billion Heavenly Dao Origin.

"I’ve made it!"

"This time I’ve really made it!"

Gu Qingyang couldn’t conceal his excitement, as the additional seven thousand points of Heavenly Dao Origin allowed his power to rapidly elevate to a terrifying level.

Immediately.

Gu Qingyang converted all of the Heavenly Dao Origin into Evolution Value.

Inevitably, the nine thousand points of Heavenly Dao Origin were completely exhausted, causing the Evolution Value to soar to 9.6 billion.

Breakthrough!

Breakthrough achieved all around!

The entire Kunlun Divine Realm shook, and even the entire Cyan Yang Realm trembled slightly, as the vast Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged from all directions, continuously pouring into the Azure Celestial Divine Tree.

The incomparably powerful force made Gu Qingyang feel an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

The breakthrough seemed to last a long time, in fact, it only occurred in an instant.

Tier Seven mid-grade!

Tier Seven high-grade!

...

When Gu Qingyang regained consciousness from that surge of power, once again looking at the world before him, a different insight flooded his mind.

For a long while.

All insights vanished without a trace.

Gu Qingyang once again looked at his data panel.

...

Name: Gu Qingyang

Essence: Heavenly Dao Divine Tree

Life: Immortality

Rank: Tier Seven high-grade (3.6 billion / 7 billion)

Divine Kingdom: Tier Six (45 billion / 1 trillion)

Heavenly Dao Origin: 0

Innate Divine Techniques: Heavenly Dao Spirit Root (Tier Seven), Heavenly Dao Fruit (Tier Seven), Eye of Heavenly Dao (Tier Seven), Heavenly Dao Domain (Tier Seven), Memory Reading (Tier Seven)

...

"Tier Seven high-grade!"

Gu Qingyang’s heart relaxed.

Just a little more, and he could achieve Tier Seven perfection.

At present, having broken through two minor levels, the Evolution Value still remained at 3.6 billion, only about halfway to completely collecting the Evolution Value required for Tier Seven perfection.

With cultivation level breakthrough.

Gu Qingyang’s power has also significantly increased.

Immediately.

He entered the simulation interface.

The first moment, Gu Qingyang brought out Zuo Shen Peak for combat, battling against this Tier Eight mid-grade powerhouse.

Initially, when Gu Qingyang broke through to Tier Seven low-grade, facing Zuo Shen Peak almost ended in being instantly killed, but this time, facing Zuo Shen Peak, he felt no insurmountable pressure at all.

Crushing!

Easily crushing!

From start to finish, Gu Qingyang completely dominated Zuo Shen Peak in battle and forcefully slew the opponent.

Then.

Gu Qingyang simulated the Red-haired Corpse Demon again.

But unfortunately, as before, the moment Gu Qingyang emerged, he was instantly killed by the Red-haired Corpse Demon, completely without any chance to resist.

...

"It seems my current strength is probably at the Tier Eight high-grade level, just enough to span a major realm.

But in front of Tier Nine powerhouses, this strength is still insufficient!"

Gu Qingyang thought to himself.

Although being instantly killed by the Red-haired Corpse Demon showed that he was still far from a Tier Nine Great Emperor powerhouse, what did it matter?

Currently, throughout the Immortal Extinction Realm, excluding the Spiritual Forbidden Area, there were no living Great Emperors.

Tier Eight high-grade strength was already considered invincible.

At least.

At the beginning of the Golden Era, it could be termed invincible.

Unless an ancient Quasi-Emperor awakens, perhaps they could battle Gu Qingyang.

One could say.

This breakthrough has strengthened Gu Qingyang’s power significantly, erasing many previous concerns.

For this.

Gu Qingyang could only sigh, realizing that truly all fear stems from a lack of firepower.

In the face of absolute power, all problems are no problems.

With that thought dispelled.

Gu Qingyang gazed at Ancient Wilderness, his Dharma Body currently fighting against the Great Emperor’s Seal, with the Celestial Thunder Halberd in hand, he could steadily suppress the Great Emperor’s Seal, but it wasn’t so easy to completely obliterate it.

Moreover, his Dharma Body’s opponents were not one Great Emperor’s Seal, but two.

"A single Emperor’s Soldier could provide me with thousands of Heavenly Dao Origin; as long as I obtain all the Emperor’s Soldiers in this battle, I will definitely break through to Tier Eight.

Once reaching Tier Eight, I will then have the qualification to contend with Tier Nine Great Emperors, even if the slumbering Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Extinction Realm is just comparable to a Tier Nine powerhouse!"

This is an opportunity.

An opportunity that could truly let him ascend to the heavens in one step.

So no matter what, Gu Qingyang had to capture all these forces in one sweep.
