Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 104: The Horn of Counterattack

After Gu Changqing successfully crossed his tribulation, the Celestial Spirit Ancient Tree, Earth Fiend Ancient Tree, and Dubhe Ancient Tree crossed theirs one after another.

All four Ancient Trees entered the top ten of the fourth-tier Divine List and were thus awarded the fifth-tier lower-grade Realm-Breaking Pill, allowing them to directly break through with this elixir.

With the successful tribulation crossing of the four Ancient Trees, Cyan Yang Divine Court gained four fifth-tier Divine Split realm elders.

Counting Gu Fang and Lin Ling, who had already successfully crossed their tribulations, Cyan Yang Divine Court now had six fifth-tier powerhouses.

The next day.

New tasks appeared in the Divine Kingdom chat group.

"First, the Immortal Extinction Realm invaded, causing heavy losses to the Cyan Yang Realm. This battle should not be forgotten by history. Now that Cyan Yang Divine Court’s strength has greatly increased, it should sound the horn for a counterattack!"

"Task Requirement: Counterattack the Immortal Extinction Realm and slay the Otherworldly Creatures!"

"Task Rewards: Slay a first-tier creature for fifty contribution points, a second-tier creature for five hundred, a third-tier for five thousand, a fourth-tier for fifty thousand, a fifth-tier for five hundred thousand, and a sixth-tier for fifty million!"

...

"The prestige of the Cyan Yang Divine Emperor should spread throughout the heavens, his light shining on all beings, earning universal praise!"

"Task Requirement: Spread the Faith of the Divine Emperor!"

"Task Rewards: Earning faith from a zero-tier creature grants one contribution point, from a first-tier creature grants five points, from a second-tier creature grants ten points, from a third-tier creature grants one hundred points, from a fourth-tier creature grants one thousand points, from a fifth-tier creature grants ten thousand points, and from a sixth-tier creature grants one hundred thousand points!"

...

The appearance of two tasks from the Divine Kingdom caused a sudden uproar in the Divine Kingdom chat group.

This was the first time in thirty years that the Divine Kingdom chat group had issued tasks, and it was two tasks at once.

Both the first task and the second task symbolized a massive amount of contribution.

...

"Qin You, third-tier top grade: The second task, could it be that the Divine Emperor wants us to spread faith in the Otherworld?"

"Yan Haiyun, fourth-tier mid-grade: It’s obvious that’s what it is, but the task rewards are truly generous. Each person has a guaranteed contribution of at least one point, but who knows how many people there are in the Otherworld!"

"Wen Song, third-tier mid-grade: The population of the Otherworld is certainly large, much larger than the Cyan Yang Realm."

"He Shaoyi, third-tier perfect state: It seems the Divine Court, after thirty years of accumulation, is now poised to launch a full-scale counterattack!"

"Lu Wen, fourth-tier lower grade: My great sword is already eager—"

...

As the Divine Kingdom chat group was inundated with messages, Gu Qingyang immediately issued a Divine Oracle to Gu Fang and others, declaring Cyan Yang Divine Court’s imminent counterattack.

This battle concerned the survival of the Cyan Yang Divine Court, and they were urged to give their all. Though it wasn’t necessary for Cyan Yang Divine Court to utterly destroy the Ancient Wilderness, it was crucial to create a breach, allowing its cultivators to enter.

This was Gu Qingyang’s primary goal for the counterattack.

Given Cyan Yang Divine Court’s current power, destroying the Ancient Wilderness and the entire Immortal Extinction Realm was impossible.

But as long as they could open a breach and have some of the Cyan Yang Divine Court’s cultivators infiltrate the Ancient Wilderness, it would suffice.

The Ancient Wilderness was vast and resourceful, far surpassing the Cyan Yang Realm tenfold.

If they could harness the resources of the Ancient Wilderness to nurture cultivators, Cyan Yang Divine Court’s strength would undoubtedly grow rapidly.

At the same time.

It was only by opening a breach that they could spread faith in the Ancient Wilderness, allowing Gu Qingyang to quickly harvest Faith Power, pushing himself to further breakthroughs.

Upon receiving the Divine Oracle, Cyan Yang Divine Court immediately issued a notice, summoning all sect cultivators and loose cultivators to assemble at the Northern Continent.

Since the battle thirty years ago, Cyan Yang Divine Court had been at peace for many years. Now, the horn of counterattack had sounded, awakening the passionate blood in the hearts of many seasoned cultivators.

...

"That day has finally come!"

In the Upper Qing Sect, Lin Ling, dressed in a blue Daoist robe, stood with his hands clasped atop a mountain peak, calmly watching the ebb and flow of the clouds, as if a hidden force of slaughter was about to soar to the heavens.

This was a sign of the coming great war.

The entire Cyan Yang Realm felt the killing intent from the hearts of all beings, filling the world with fervent battle spirit and instilling fear in other creatures.

Memories flashed one by one in Lin Ling’s mind, and as the final scene surpassed them all, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Back when fierce beasts wrought havoc, his parents and kin all perished at their jaws. Lin Ling secretly vowed that one day he would slay every fierce beast to avenge his loved ones.

Now that fierce beasts were almost extinct, Lin Ling’s target had shifted from his immediate family to the larger family he now had.

In his eyes.

The Cyan Yang Realm was his home and he would not allow any outsiders to set foot upon it.

This is why, thirty years ago, during the Otherworld invasion, Lin Ling led the Cyan Yang Association to the Northern Continent without hesitation to resist.

The decisions he made thirty years ago, he could still make thirty years later.

"As long as I live, the Cyan Yang Realm will not tolerate foreign invaders acting recklessly!"

Lin Ling whispered, then his whole body erupted with Spiritual Power, and a phantom emerged from him, instantly covering the azure sky. All disciples of the Upper Qing Sect instinctively looked up, their eyes filled with awe at the magnificent figure.

"Disciples of the Upper Qing Sect, hear my command. From this moment, proceed to the Northern Continent to prepare for a counterattack against the Otherworld, without error!"

The phantom’s voice thundered like a storm, striking the hearts of all disciples and stirring their blood to boil with passion.

Instantly.

All disciples of the Upper Qing Sect shouted in unison, "We heed the Sect Master’s divine decree!"

...

"What a grand Upper Qing Sect!" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Since the Upper Qing Sect is going, we naturally cannot lag behind. Brother Liu, would you accompany me to the Northern Continent?"

"Haha, together, together. We’ve long heard that the battle thirty years ago was world-shaking. It’s quite an honor to partake in such an event today."

"Great, we’ll go together and take a look at the scenery of the Otherworld!"

Many loose cultivators around the Upper Qing Sect, having heard Lin Ling’s voice and witnessed the scene of all the disciples marching forth, were filled with high fighting spirit, heading towards the Northern Continent.

The scene at the Upper Qing Sect was merely a microcosm of the Cyan Yang Divine Court.

As the Divine Court’s official message spread, nearly every sect dispatched some strong cultivators to the Northern Continent.

Even more, like the Upper Qing Sect, would commit the entirety of their sect’s strength, leaving nothing reserved.

Innumerable streaks of light pierced the sky, revealing one after another cultivator who could ride the wind on swords. Then appeared planes and ships traversing deep seas, carrying other cultivators incapable of flying, all advancing towards the Northern Continent.
