Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 315: Grade-8 Superior

During the battle between the Cyan Yang Divine Court and the Taiyuan Realm, Gu Qingyang was engaged in different matters.

That was.

Refining imperial weapons.

In the previous battle at Celestial Desolation, Gu Qingyang acquired the imperial weapons of both Celestial Desolation and the Demon Court, but he had no time to visit the Lotus Garden nor to extract the Heavenly Dao origin.

Now.

Gu Qingyang extracted all the Heavenly Dao origins from the imperial weapons of the Demon Court and Celestial Desolation.

In an instant.

Gu Qingyang glanced at his data panel.

Seeing the amount of Heavenly Dao origin on the data panel increased dramatically by thirty-five thousand points.

"Thirty-five thousand points of Heavenly Dao origin, not bad, enough to break through another realm!"

Gu Qingyang nodded with satisfaction and then began to prepare for the breakthrough.

...

Name: Gu Qingyang

Essence: Heavenly Dao Divine Tree

Lifespan: Immortality

Level: Tier Eight Superior (10.3 billion/70 billion)

Divine Kingdom: Tier Eight (80 trillion/1 quadrillion)

Heavenly Dao Origin: 200

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

...

Tier Eight Superior!

This time, the breakthrough did not cause much commotion for Gu Qingyang.

However, with his breakthrough, his original self within the Dimensional Space experienced a sudden surge in power.

If previously Gu Qingyang was only barely able to fight on equal footing with the Heavenly Dao of the Two Realms, now he was completely on par.

However.

Truly defeating the Heavenly Dao of the Two Realms was still something he couldn’t achieve yet.

Gu Qingyang estimated.

If he truly wanted to subdue the Heavenly Dao of the Two Realms, it might require him to reach the perfection of Tier Eight, or formally step into the lower tier of Tier Nine.

The reason being.

Because during his breakthrough to Tier Eight Superior, Gu Qingyang realized that his strength hadn’t transformed as much as he had expected.

Normally.

At Tier Eight Intermediate, Gu Qingyang’s strength could rival Tier Nine Intermediate, so at Tier Eight Superior, he should not be weaker than Tier Nine Superior.

But in fact, Gu Qingyang’s current strength was only equivalent to the pinnacle of Tier Nine Intermediate.

Such a change.

Gu Qingyang had some guesses.

In the end.

The Tier Eight Heavenly Dao Spirit Root innate divine techniques couldn’t keep up with his current progress.

After all, no matter how strong an innate divine technique is, it’s ultimately just Tier Eight.

For a Tier Eight Superior cultivator to rival a Tier Nine Intermediate, it’s already quite strong.

If he wanted to maintain the ability to fight across a major realm, it’s quite challenging.

However.

If he could break through to Tier Nine and let the innate divine techniques evolve to a Tier Nine level, then his strength would undergo a significant transformation.

"However——"

"It is not easy to break through to Tier Nine."

"Judging from the situation of the Divine Kingdom, the leap from Tier Eight to Tier Nine is substantial, and the breakthrough in realm is likely the same!"

In the Kunlun Divine Realm, Gu Qingyang murmured to himself.

Having just broken through to Tier Eight Superior, he had almost depleted his accumulated foundation.

Leaving only two Supreme Treasures.

Gu Qingyang did not extract the Heavenly Dao origin from them.

These two Supreme Treasures were the Human Emperor Sword and the Demon Emperor Bell.

As quasi-immortal artifacts.

The Heavenly Dao origin contained within the two Supreme Treasures must be extremely rich.

However.

Quasi-immortal artifacts also possess significant power.

If he could refine them for his use, even for a Tier Nine powerhouse, they would be of great use.

Presently.

With the two Supreme Treasures in hand, Gu Qingyang hesitated whether to refine them or to extract the Heavenly Dao origin.

If it were imperial weapons.

No matter how top-tier.

Gu Qingyang would not hesitate in the slightest.

After all, imperial weapons, no matter how strong, are still just imperial weapons, but quasi-immortal artifacts are completely different.

They are a trump card.

"Considering the situation of my Tier Eight Heavenly Dao Spirit Root, even if I break through to Tier Eight Perfection, the change in battle power would probably be limited, at most slipping into Tier Nine Superior.

With Tier Nine Superior strength, suppressing the Heavenly Dao of the Two Realms wouldn’t be an issue, but killing them would still be impossible.

Unless the two quasi-immortal artifacts could directly push me to Tier Nine, but that’s too unlikely..."

Gu Qingyang shook his head.

Even as strong as the quasi-immortal artifacts are, they can’t let him jump directly to Tier Nine.

A superior imperial weapon can provide seven thousand Heavenly Dao origin, while the Heavenly Dao origin of a top-grade imperial weapon is around ten thousand.

Even if the quasi-immortal artifact is stronger than a top-grade imperial weapon, granting twenty thousand Heavenly Dao origin, what difference does it make?

Two quasi-immortal artifacts.

At most, they yield forty to fifty thousand points of Heavenly Dao origin.

With such Heavenly Dao origin, breaking through to Tier Eight Perfection is a gamble, let alone reaching Tier Nine Lower.

With this thought in mind.

Gu Qingyang decided to first refine the two quasi-immortal artifacts.

If he could refine the two quasi-immortal artifacts, his original self and Dharma Body would both undergo significant transformation.

If cultivation is insufficient.

External force compensates.

With the two quasi-immortal artifacts unable to propel his realm, they can still allow him to exhibit power beyond his rank.

Immediately.

Gu Qingyang began the process of refining the two quasi-immortal artifacts.

The first quasi-immortal artifact to be refined was the Human Emperor Sword.

As Gu Qingyang’s divine thought entered the Human Emperor Sword, an ancient and profound aura instantly swept over, its weight and pressure felt as if it was about to crush his divine thought completely.

Fortunately.

The strength of Gu Qingyang’s divine thought had drastically improved.

Having stepped into Tier Eight Superior with the addition of the Heavenly Dao Spirit Root’s innate divine techniques, his divine thought strength was enough to rival Tier Nine powerhouses.

Then with the Divine Kingdom advancing to Tier Eight, his divine thought transformed further.

To this day.

Gu Qingyang wasn’t sure precisely how strong his divine thought was.

But at least, there was one thing he was certain of.

The strength of his divine thought was undoubtedly stronger than many Tier Nine powerhouses.

Nevertheless.

Even so.

In the pressure of the Human Emperor Sword, Gu Qingyang nearly shattered his divine thought.

If it were any other Tier Nine cultivator, it would probably also be impossible for them to refine the Human Emperor Sword.

"Quasi-immortal artifacts are indeed terrifying!"

Gu Qingyang’s heart trembled and grew more excited.

The stronger the Human Emperor Sword, the more powerful he would be once refined.

As Gu Qingyang’s divine thought seeped into the Human Emperor Sword, enduring the oppressive pressure, a majestic figure stood with his hands behind his back in the vast land before him.

The figure seemed to be the center of the world, capable of suppressing everything just by standing there.

"Desolate Ancient Human Emperor!"

At the sight of the figure, Gu Qingyang’s eyes narrowed slightly.

This one.

He wasn’t unfamiliar.

However.

The Desolate Ancient Human Emperor before him was clearly not the real Desolate Ancient Human Emperor, nor a remnant imprint of their power, just a shadow of residual thought.

Even though the aura was terrifying, it posed no real threat to Gu Qingyang.
