Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 105: Six Fifth-Tier Powerhouses Gather; Divine Court Cultivators Assemble!
Northern Continent.
Otherworld Gate.
Since the invaders from the Otherworld were repelled thirty years ago, not a single otherworldly creature has set foot here again. But everyone knows the true meaning of this gate.
It’s like a sharp sword hanging overhead, ready to drop at any moment and take the life of the Cyan Yang Realm.
"Thirty years... No, it should be thirty-one years now. Back then, we could only passively defend. Now, we can finally take the offensive!"
Zhang Ming gazed at the Otherworld Gate before him, his eyes filled with some nostalgia.
Then he looked at the people behind him and shook his head slightly: "In this battle to counterattack the Otherworld, who knows how many more will perish because of it!"
"How can there be no sacrifices in war? It is unavoidable. Even if we don’t retaliate against the Immortal Extinction Realm, it will invade again someday.
As long as this Otherworld Gate remains, a battle between the Two Realms is inevitable.
Either the Immortal Extinction Realm falls, or the Cyan Yang Realm is enslaved. There is no third option!"
Lin Ling stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with a cold sharpness.
Hearing this, Zhang Ming also fell into silence. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Indeed.
As long as the Otherworld Gate doesn’t disappear, a battle between the Two Realms is inevitable, just a matter of time.
It’s better to attack proactively than to be passively beaten, to establish momentum ahead of time.
Of course.
There’s another main reason.
Since the Cyan Yang Divine Court dares to strike first, they must have confidence in warding off the Otherworld. Even if this battle can’t achieve merit in the Otherworld, retreating back to the Cyan Yang Realm isn’t a problem.
That Divine Emperor, who once defeated the self-proclaimed Ancient Wilderness Saint Master, has power that is unfathomable. In the thirty years that have passed since, no one knows how far he has advanced.
...
Three days.
Almost all the powerhouses of the Cyan Yang Divine Court gathered here, including three hundred and twelve Tier Four cultivators, and six Tier Five cultivators.
Those below Tier Four were countless, so much so that even five ancient cities couldn’t fully accommodate them.
"With the Cyan Yang Divine Court’s current morale, even though the Immortal Extinction Realm has profound reserves, we might still have a chance of victory!"
Atop the Evergreen Ancient City, Gu Fang looked at the now robust Divine Court army and the countless civilian cultivators. Over thirty years, the entire Cyan Yang Divine Court had undergone a complete transformation, incomparable to the past.
Ji Xuan said: "According to the Divine Emperor’s decree, our goal in this battle is not to conquer the Otherworld. As long as we can create an opening and allow some cultivators to enter the Immortal Extinction Realm, it will be enough.
In that vast world, many top-tier strongholds can be nurtured.
Compared to the Immortal Extinction Realm, the Cyan Yang Realm is ultimately too small. It’s extremely difficult to nurture a True Dragon in shallow waters!"
The waters of the Cyan Yang Realm are shallow.
In such an environment, a cultivator reaching Tier Five is already the limit.
After Tier Four, every step in cultivation becomes much more difficult, incomparable to Tier Three.
While part of it is due to the greater difficulty of Tier Four cultivation, the weak Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the Cyan Yang Realm, insufficient to support the cultivation of powerful individuals, also plays a role.
But if they could enter the Immortal Extinction Realm, it would be entirely different.
At this moment.
A majestic voice echoed in everyone’s mind.
"All participants are granted the language talent of the Immortal Extinction Realm!"
As the voice faded, a torrent of information suddenly surged into their minds, causing mild headaches, as if something that shouldn’t belong to them had appeared.
For a long while.
This information was thoroughly digested.
"The language of the Immortal Extinction Realm!"
Gu Fang murmured to himself, the words he now spoke were not in the language of the Cyan Yang Realm, but belonged to the Immortal Extinction Realm.
What was once an incomprehensible otherworldly language now flowed from his tongue with ease, without the slightest hesitation.
The sudden occurrence amazed not only Gu Fang but also others present.
But soon, they felt relieved.
Gu Qingyang’s methods are mysteriously unfathomable, and anyone from the Cyan Yang Divine Court knows this well. Now that they’ve been gifted a language talent, it’s naturally not a big deal.
"Gaining a language talent just by joining the battle isn’t bad either. Normally, exchanging for a foreign language would probably require quite a bit of contribution."
Yang Yan chuckled.
With this language talent, entering the Immortal Extinction Realm later will be easier.
Afterwards.
Elders of the Cyan Yang Divine Court ordered everyone to rest where they were, and to launch a full-scale attack on the Immortal Extinction Realm one day later.
With the order given, there was no opposition, and everyone stayed put, silently adjusting their state in preparation for the upcoming battle.
For those who have achieved at least Tier One, going three to five days without food is no problem, and the higher the cultivation, the longer they can go without eating.
When cultivation reaches a certain depth, one can truly fast, surviving merely by absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi without needing other sustenance.
So resting in place for a day, even without any supplies as supplements, does not impair the combat power of the army in the slightest.
...
As time passed bit by bit, the last batch of cultivators arrived.
When the sun rose, several powerful auras burst from the five great ancient cities, and six figures soared into the sky, appearing before a segment of the portal.
These six figures were none other than the only six Tier Five powerhouses in the Cyan Yang Divine Court today.
Gu Fang!
Lin Ling!
Gu Changqing!
Gu Tiangang!
Gu Disha!
Gu Tianshu!
The six hovered in the sky, exuding an aura of majesty that inspired awe in others, with nearly all eyes fixed upon them.
"Tier Five..."
Zhang Ming took a deep breath, his eyes growing resolute.
With rewards from the Divine Kingdom tournament, he had successfully achieved Tier Four perfection, and had obtained the qualification to attempt Tier Five.
But having the qualification to attempt Tier Five is significantly different from genuinely reaching Tier Five.
Whether one breaks through or not, the two are extremes.
Nonetheless.
Zhang Ming was not overly discouraged.
Even though he lagged behind Gu Fang and Lin Ling by a step, Zhang Ming had a premonition that seizing this battle’s opportunity would undoubtedly lead him directly to Tier Five.
Once achieving Tier Five, with the Fighting Saint Body further developed, challenging Lin Ling, Gu Fang, and others would give Zhang Ming the assurance of victory.
In mid-air.
Gu Fang’s voice rang clear, resounding in everyone’s ears.
"Thirty-one years ago, when the Otherworld invaded, cultivator predecessors of the Cyan Yang Realm fought with blood and never retreated, willing to bury their bones here, only then repelling the Otherworld army.
Thirty-one years later, our Cyan Yang Divine Court is no longer what it once was. The blood feud of the past should now be repaid.
Everyone, the horn for counterattack has been sounded. This is our Cyan Yang Divine Court’s first battle externally, and also a battle that will decide the future of the Divine Court.
This battle doesn’t require us to conquer the Immortal Extinction Realm, we only need to create a breach there, allowing some prodigies to enter.
The Cyan Yang Realm is too small and cannot nurture truly top-tier strongholds. Only by using the Immortal Extinction Realm as a stepping stone can we truly achieve the Grand Dao!"
