Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 112: Gu Tiangang’s Shock
"Boom!"
The two palms collided, instantly whipping up a terrifying hurricane in mid-air, the shaking force causing the space to shatter inch by inch.
The earth-shattering tremor spread in all directions, causing the chaotic battlefield to instinctively come to a halt.
All eyes were collectively on the cyan figure and Gu Tiangang.
"That’s... the Divine Emperor!"
"With the Divine Emperor’s arrival, our Cyan Yang Divine Court is destined to win this battle!"
Anyone who had participated in the battle thirty years ago or the grand competition of the Divine Kingdom would not find the cyan figure unfamiliar.
For this figure was supremely unmatched, the founder of the Cyan Yang Divine Court.
Divine Emperor!
Gu Qingyang!
No one would have expected that Gu Qingyang, who had stayed in the Kunlun Divine Realm and never taken a step outside, would appear here at this moment.
On the other side.
Shen Xue looked at that cyan back with a streak of relief after the disaster, but soon it transformed into reverence.
"It’s you again!"
Gu Tiangang furrowed his brows slightly, he could tell that the Gu Qingyang before him was not present in his true body, but merely an incarnation.
But precisely because it was an incarnation, it made Gu Tiangang secretly shocked.
In the battle thirty years ago, although Gu Tiangang was defeated miserably at the hands of Gu Qingyang, it was because he was suppressed by the power of the Heavenly Dao.
If it weren’t for the suppression by the Heavenly Dao, causing him to fall directly from the Daoist level, Gu Tiangang was confident he could suppress or even kill Gu Qingyang.
Now, after thirty years of retreat, although Gu Tiangang’s cultivation hadn’t broken through, his power had reached a new height, making him think that when he met Gu Qingyang in a fair fight, he could easily suppress him.
But the current engagement left Gu Tiangang feeling that things were somewhat beyond his expectations.
Even though the clash had just occurred, being an apex expert, how could he not perceive the subtleties?
Compared to Gu Tiangang’s grave complexion, Gu Qingyang appeared much more composed, the spiritual energy filling the world making him feel deeply moved.
"The Ancient Wilderness is indeed a land of outstanding people and rich resources, the concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is far beyond comparison to that of the Cyan Yang Realm.
This time, the cultivators from the Cyan Yang Realm have entered the Ancient Wilderness merely to seek a path to cultivation, hoping that the Ancient Saint Master, if willing to yield, would surely gain the friendship of the Cyan Yang Realm!"
"The land of the Ancient Wilderness shall not allow foreign intrusion!"
Gu Tiangang outright refused.
Gu Qingyang’s smile faded, his voice slightly indifferent: "If the land of the Ancient Wilderness does not allow intrusion, then when has our territory of the Cyan Yang Realm ever allowed the Ancient Wilderness to set foot?"
Upon hearing this.
Gu Tiangang’s expression turned slightly cold, a chilling killing intent in his eyes, "The affairs of the world are nothing but the survival of the fittest, how could you not understand this principle after cultivating to such a realm?"
"A fine survival of the fittest indeed, then let me, the Emperor, see who between you and me is weak or strong!"
Gu Qingyang responded with a cold smile, raising his hand, a cyan Sword Gang slashed through the void, the formidable power making Gu Tiangang’s expression turn grim.
The latter took a step forward, his right fist seemed capable of shattering the heavens and earth, fiercely crashing against the cyan Sword Gang, erupting with earth-shattering sounds.
"Last time you borrowed the power of the Heavenly Dao to win, today I will make you understand what the Saint Body of the Ancient Wilderness is!"
Gu Tiangang roared, the blood of the Saint Body now fully stimulated, void seemed to condense into a majestic form, an ancient and pristine aura spreading forth.
The next moment.
Gu Tiangang’s punch erupted, the earth-shattering momentum seemed to obliterate the six paths of Heaven and Earth, as if it could suppress the ancient eight wastelands, the terrifying strength of the six-stage perfection now laid bare without reservation.
Even Gu Fang and others, who were far away, changed their expressions several times upon sensing this terrifying power.
Gu Tiangang’s strength far exceeded their expectations.
But now with the arrival of the Ancient Wilderness Saint Master, the forces of the Sacred Land of the Ancient Wilderness came in large numbers as reinforcements, greatly increasing the pressure on the Cyan Yang Divine Court, leaving no time to meddle in other matters.
"Ancient Wilderness Saint Body!"
Gu Qingyang calmly watched the suppressing fist, the Heaven-Reaching Sword Intent broke out from his body, the vast spiritual energy gathered, transforming into a cyan lotus.
The cyan lotus blossomed.
Each petal was like a world-shaking Divine Sword, terrifying Sword Qi formed, silently tearing space apart.
Gu Qingyang stood on the cyan lotus, his right hand using a finger as a sword, endless Sword Qi rose from the lotus, the Heaven-Reaching Sword Gang cleaved through the void, its terrifying power dreadlike a galactic torrent.
"Boom—"
The two powers collided, the earth-shaking Fist Gang was torn apart in an instant, the extremely sharp force slashed onto Gu Tiangang’s fist, causing his skin to explode.
Blood splattered from his hand, revealing faintly golden finger bones exposed to the air.
But within less than a breath, the flesh stripped by Sword Qi healed again, Gu Tiangang’s expression remained stern as he shattered the void beneath his feet, charging straight at Gu Qingyang.
In his view, though the opponent was powerful, he was ultimately just an incarnation; in terms of physical strength, he certainly could not compare to himself.
If he could engage in close combat, slaying him wouldn’t be an issue.
Seeing Gu Tiangang attacking, Gu Qingyang mobilized the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth, the vast Sword Gang descended like the nine heavens galaxy, its momentum could be called apocalyptic.
This strike’s force made Gu Tiangang feel the threat of death.
Without any hesitation, he opened his mouth and spat out an antique bronze cauldron appeared, divine light enshrouded it on the cauldron, firmly withstanding a strike from the heavenly river of Sword Dao, a weighty humming sound emanating from the cauldron’s body, yet it did not shatter.
Then.
Gu Tiangang held the bronze cauldron aloft with his left hand, his right fist’s momentum earth-shattering, the strength of the six-stage perfection and the Ancient Wilderness Saint Body now undisguised.
"Six-stage Supreme Treasure!"
Gu Qingyang’s eyes glinted sharply, he was naturally not unfamiliar with the existence of the bronze cauldron.
As Gu Tiangang closed in, Gu Qingyang let out a long howl, his internal spiritual power surging, surprisingly not dodging, meeting the attack head-on.
"Boom!"
"Rumble!"
The two majestic figures battled in mid-air, the terrifying power shattering space, although Gu Qingyang was only present in an incarnation, his body, condensed by Divine Power, was in no way inferior to the physical body of a true six-stage powerhouse.
It was seen that with every gesture, countless techniques emerged, all kinds of Secret Techniques were at his fingertips, sometimes the Sword Dao spanned the sky, sometimes fist intent was shocking, sometimes one saw blade light tearing the sky, and sometimes lightning suddenly arose.
The more they fought!
The more Gu Tiangang was shocked!
Despite possessing the Ancient Wilderness Saint Body, acclaimed as Unrivaled True Monarch, believing himself invincible in the same tier, in the face of Gu Qingyang, this Ancient Wilderness Saint Master felt unprecedented pressure.
Even though Gu Tiangang had already played all his trump cards, he still couldn’t suppress Gu Qingyang.
Not just that.
As time went on, Gu Tiangang gradually fell into a disadvantage.
"Boom!"
When Gu Qingyang shattered space with a finger, terrifying power breached the defense of the bronze cauldron, the sturdy six-stage Supreme Treasure finally showed a crack.
With the cauldron damaged, Gu Tiangang’s entire body felt as if struck by lightning, revealing flaws in his techniques, Gu Qingyang seized the opportunity, delivering a direct punch to his chest.
"Crack—"
It seemed as if bones were breaking, Gu Tiangang’s chest caved in, vomiting blood, and the whole person plummeted from the sky like an arrow released from a string.
