Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 243: The Annihilation of Nine Nether Sect

Chapter 243: Chapter 243: The Annihilation of Nine Nether Sect

Demon Race.

Not all are beasts in transformation.

But rather, species birthed by heaven and earth.

They appear human yet not human, beast yet not beast, thus named demons.

In Ancient Times.

The Demon Race reigned as the lords of heaven and earth, with the humans being at the lowest, reduced to blood food for the Demon Race.

It was the most glorious era for the Demon Race, but also the darkest years for humans.

Later.

Some human strongmen comprehended heaven and earth, creating their own cultivation techniques, thus beginning the era of cultivation.

In the Desolate Ancient era.

Humans gradually rid themselves of the status of blood food, contending with the Demon Race.

At the end of the Desolate Ancient era, an invincible human Great Emperor emerged, forcefully suppressing the then Demon Race Great Emperor, leading the once-dominant Demon Race to completely withdraw from the stage.

From then on.

The Demon Race retreated to the Demon Realm, the world became the domain of humans.

With the unification of humans, the Desolate Ancient era concluded, giving way to the Ancient Times.

If the Ancient Times was the most glorious era for the Demon Race, then the Ancient Times was the humans’ most glorious period, newly liberated from the shackles of the Demon Race, with strongmen emerging in endless numbers.

The human Great Emperor who defeated the Demon Race Great Emperor established the Human Imperial Court, pushing the entirety of human strength to its peak.

That human Great Emperor was also the first Human Emperor, in the true sense of the word.

Since the Human Emperor’s demise, although new emperors have ascended to the human Imperial Court, they could not be considered true Human Emperors.

Therefore.

The human Imperial Court began its decline.

At the end of the Ancient Times, the human Imperial Court weakened, widespread wars erupted, with many Sacred Lands and noble sects rebelling against the human Imperial Court, causing the world to be torn apart and countless strongmen to fall.

In the end.

This war concluded with the suppression and destruction of the Ancient Times’ human Imperial Court.

After that battle.

The human Imperial Court became history, and meanwhile, there were signs of decline in human strength, never to reach the momentum of the Ancient Times again.

These ancient secrets, with followers spread throughout the Immortal Extinction Realm, were not difficult for Gu Qingyang to uncover.

Moreover.

In Ye Jiuyou’s memory, he also learned about many ancient secrets, as well as some rumors about Ancient and Desolate Ancient times.

After all, Ye Jiuyou, as a perfected sixth-stage strongman, was considered a top-tier existence in the Demon Realm today.

Currently, in the entire Demon Realm, the Nine Nether Sect is the top sect.

Above the Nine Nether Sect, there are also various Sacred Land noble sects.

Each of these Sacred Land noble sects has foundations tracing back to Desolate and even Ancient times, with extremely rich bloodline heritage, often producing top-tier geniuses through bloodline reversion.

Unfortunately.

In the Immortal Extinction Realm, humans have always suppressed the Demon Race, giving them no chance to rise.

Therefore.

Even if a top-tier genius from the Demon Race emerges, it is difficult to change the situation.

After all—

In terms of the number of geniuses, the Immortal Extinction Realm humans occupy most of the realm, unmatched by the Demon Race’s isolated corner.

Above the noble sects is the existence of the Demon Court.

Unlike the ancient human Imperial Court that was destroyed, the Demon Court has continued from Ancient Times to present, representing the oldest bloodline of the Demon Race.

Though the Demon Court was defeated and led the Demon Race to retreat to the Demon Realm, for many in the Demon Race, the Demon Court still holds a supreme status. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Even though the current strength of the Demon Court on the surface is not strong, and many noble sects are more powerful, the Demon Court still maintains an exalted status that other forces dare not offend.

These.

Are all within Ye Jiuyou’s memory.

The rest concerns Ye Jiuyou and the Nine Nether Sect, along with some of the secret cultivation techniques of the Demon Race.

Then.

Gu Qingyang turned to Gu Feng and said calmly, "The Demon Realm is not a place you can intrude upon. This object can guide you out of the Demon Realm."

Finished speaking.

Gu Qingyang handed a compass to Gu Feng.

This compass is not a special treasure, but it carries a trace of the Ancient Wilderness aura, capable of guiding directions for the other party, and can also serve as a warning if strongmen approach.

For Gu Qingyang, it is a trinket he casually crafted, mostly stocked in the Divine Kingdom’s shop, rarely carried around.

"Thank you, Divine Emperor!"

Gu Feng was overjoyed, hurriedly bowing in thanks, then received the compass respectfully.

When he recognized it as his own through blood, he was overjoyed once more.

Because.

The compass turned out to be a sixth-stage Supreme Treasure.

A sixth-stage Daoist Supreme Treasure.

For someone who just entered the fourth stage, it’s simply an unparalleled treasure.

Gu Feng did not expect that after narrowly escaping death, he could still obtain a sixth-stage treasure.

More importantly.

He had now caught Gu Qingyang’s eye, and might have a chance to ascend to great heights in the future.

Thinking of this.

Gu Feng felt a surge of excitement.

Then.

Gu Qingyang waved his hand, and a mystical power enveloped Gu Feng’s entire being, directly flinging him out of the Nine Nether Sect.

After these matters, Gu Qingyang cast a glance over the grand hall and blood pool, an overwhelming power erupted from him, reducing the entire grand hall to ashes.

"Boom!"

The grand hall shattered.

Debris flew.

The colossal commotion alarmed all the cultivators of the Nine Nether Sect, who rushed towards the grand hall.

"Who dares to cause trouble in my Nine Nether Sect!"

"What happened?"

Many cultivators were shocked and enraged, and upon seeing the shattered grand hall and Gu Qingyang’s figure, their expressions slightly changed.

But upon seeing Ye Jiuyou’s headless corpse, their faces immediately turned pale.

Fear flooded from their hearts.

Ye Jiuyou was the strongest in the entire Nine Nether Sect, and since he had fallen here, this indicated the intruder’s strength was beyond what they could contend with.

Although they were all cultivators of the Nine Nether Sect, they were really just Ye Jiuyou’s minions, with no loyalty to speak of.

Thus.

Upon seeing Ye Jiuyou’s corpse, all the cultivators turned and fled.

Gu Qingyang remained indifferent, casually unleashing Sword Qi that tore through space, massive power sweeping all around. When the Nine Nether Sect cultivators touched this Sword Qi, their Protective Gang Qi was instantly shattered, and they were cut in half.

"Boom—"

Sword Qi swept all around, and all the Nine Nether Sect cultivators present fell on the spot.

Whether they were sixth-stage or fifth-stage cultivators, in front of Gu Qingyang, they were no different from ants.

When other strongmen fell and their bodies dropped from the void, the remaining Nine Nether Sect disciples finally understood what had transpired.

Before they could react, they saw Gu Qingyang rise into the sky, delivering a palm strike towards the Nine Nether Sect below.

The void disintegrated and shattered.

A torrent of world-destroying power descended from the Azure Sky.

The immense Nine Nether Sect and all its disciples were reduced to dust under this power.

With just one strike.

A top power existing for a century was utterly erased.
