Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 196: Cycle of Life and Death, Assassination in the Shadows!
"It seems that over the years in the Immortal Extinction Realm, Aoba has gained considerable benefits. Not only has his cultivation seen significant progress, but even his Reincarnation Sword Dao has undergone transformation.
With his original Star God Body, his strength might not be much lacking compared to Gu Tiangang before he attained his Dao!"
Gu Qingyang watched the battle on Celestial Yang Sacred Land. The mysterious young expert who arrived was none other than Aoba, who had entered the Immortal Extinction Realm for many years.
Since Aoba stepped into the Immortal Extinction Realm, Gu Qingyang rarely paid much attention to him.
After all, there are billions of followers in the Divine Kingdom chat group, and even though Aoba is one of the outstanding ones, Gu Qingyang can’t always focus on him.
No matter how strong Aoba’s strength is, he was merely at the peak of the fifth level at the time. Even saintly experts hold little interest for Gu Qingyang at present.
Only experts above the saintly level can capture Gu Qingyang’s attention.
However.
While Gu Qingyang himself did not pay attention to Aoba’s presence, the Cyan Yang Divine Court did not disregard him.
Since Aoba entered the Immortal Extinction Realm years ago, relying on the power of his Reincarnation Sword Dao, he made quite a name for himself. Others may not understand Aoba’s identity, but the higher-ups of the Cyan Yang Divine Court are well aware.
When Aoba entered the Immortal Extinction Realm, he had met Gu Changqing, and since Gu Changqing is an Elder of the Divine Court, naturally, other senior members of the Divine Court also learned of Aoba’s presence.
Now, to confront Celestial Yang Sacred Land, a strong figure from the Divine Court sought out Aoba for assistance.
This.
was the hidden plan of the Cyan Yang Divine Court.
Most of the strong figures are besieging the strongest Taixu Sacred Land among the two Sacred Lands, with the remaining part targeting Celestial Yang Sacred Land.
Otherwise, relying on Zuo Ling alone, how could they hope to annihilate Celestial Yang Sacred Land?
Above Celestial Yang Sacred Land, the Reincarnation Sword Dao swept through the void, with the powers of life and death intertwining, attempting to obliterate everything in the world. Even the vitality of saints showed signs of dispersing faintly.
Not to mention, Zuo Ling’s strength is extremely potent. As she battled with Saint Shen Yang, her understanding of the Divinity Transformation Sword Technique steadily advanced.
The strength of both of them surpasses that of a typical True Monarch at their pinnacle. Now, with their combined efforts, even Saint Shen Yang had to treat them seriously.
Especially earlier, when Zuo Ling used dozens of sixth-level premium talismans to injure Saint Shen Yang, whose strength was not at its peak.
"If there’s no accident in this battle, the outcome for the three of them would probably be a draw!"
Gu Qingyang observed the battle for a moment and was fairly certain of the situation ahead.
Although Zuo Ling and Aoba’s power is formidable, both are halted at the sixth level. Among them, Aoba is only at the upper sixth level, not having reached the pinnacle of the sixth level.
If Aoba could break through to the pinnacle of the sixth level, he would undoubtedly be a strong figure on par with Gu Tiangang.
It can be said.
In Gu Qingyang’s eyes, Gu Tiangang is the benchmark of a strong individual.
He possesses the Ancient Wilderness Saint Body, and when he reaches the pinnacle of the sixth-level True Monarch, his strength is extraordinary. Only those who can stand shoulder to shoulder with this Ancient Wilderness Saint Master can be deemed true experts.
Otherwise, they will find it hard to earn recognition.
Zuo Ling’s strength is a notch lower than Gu Tiangang before becoming a Saint but as long as she furthers her Divinity Transformation Sword Technique or gains more control over the Quasi-Emperor’s bloodline, matching Gu Tiangang would not be an issue. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
As for Saint Shen Yang, it goes without saying that a Saint who has attained the Dao is not weak.
Unfortunately.
Compared to the Dao Xue Mountain of the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land and the ancient saints of Taixu Sacred Land, Saint Shen Yang of Celestial Yang Sacred Land has just entered the lower seventh tier, a class lower than the ancient saints of the two former Sacred Lands.
If comparing the lower seventh tier with the first three turns of a Saint, Saint Shen Yang is at most at the level of a Second-Turn Saint.
This level of strength is not weak but wishing to kill Aoba and Zuo Ling is nearly impossible.
Being asleep for years, Saint Shen Yang, even if revived, his strength can’t immediately return to its peak and needs some buffer time.
Therefore.
Gu Qingyang concluded that without unforeseen circumstances, the three are most likely to reach a draw.
But the issue is, even a draw among the three is not a favorable result for Celestial Yang Sacred Land.
Vast numbers of experts from the Cyan Yang Divine Court invaded the Sacred Land. As each array ascended, they quickly saw each array shattered, reducing the entire Sacred Land to a chaotic scene.
Celestial Yang Sacred Land may be an ancient sacred land, but with the fall of Qiu Chengfeng earlier, subjected to suppression from the two other Sacred Lands, they have already lost many strong figures.
Now, with the Cyan Yang Divine Court’s large-scale invasion, Celestial Yang Sacred Land naturally finds it hard to resist.
As long as they hold off the sole saint of Celestial Yang Sacred Land, the downfall of Celestial Yang Sacred Land is certain.
Gu Qingyang understood this, and Saint Shen Yang also understood this, so seeing many strong figures of Celestial Yang Sacred Land fall, this ancient saint’s gaze turned fierce, seemingly having made some decision.
The next moment.
Saint Shen Yang’s Qi and blood surged like a great sun again, shattering the void with extraordinary power beyond himself. He was burning his essence blood, channeling it into the Ancient Cauldron, causing this Saint’s Supreme Treasure to exude awe-inspiring might that could suppress heaven and earth.
Aoba’s indifferent expression showed a hint of gravity, as Reincarnation Sword Qi interwove, forming the Yin Yang Grinding Disc. The cyclical power of life and death aimed to obliterate the world, intending to offset the full force of this strike.
At the same time, Zuo Ling also unleashed chilling Sword Qi, gathering thousands of Sword Qi together, the Heaven-Reaching Sword Gang shattering space.
"Boom—"
The collision of three forces caused the Saint’s Supreme Treasure to shine brightly, causing the two Sword Qi torrents to collapse instantly. Aoba and Zuo Ling trembled all over, both vomiting blood simultaneously.
On the other side.
Saint Shen Yang’s aura also waned a fraction. But seeing the two injured, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was just about to take the opportunity to suppress and kill other strong figures of the Cyan Yang Divine Court.
At that moment.
A sharp chill suddenly appeared from the void, a streak of sword light silently tearing through space, startling Saint Shen Yang. He hadn’t expected another expert lurking in the shadows, and caught off guard, there was no time to defend.
"Pchsh!"
The long sword pierced through the saint’s defense, spilling a shower of blood.
The sharp pain twisted Saint Shen Yang’s features, his whole body suddenly tensed, locking the long sword that pierced him, then he punched the space, exposing the figure of Ye Jiu.
The latter was decisive, abandoning the long sword and retreating swiftly, as Saint Shen Yang’s strike hit empty air, causing huge waves.
"Damn it!"
Seeing Ye Jiu evade his blow, Saint Shen Yang’s eyes turned icy. He wrenched out the sword from his body, the pain twisting his expression further.
As the sword was pulled out, a large amount of blood gushed out from the wound, but it scabbed over in less than a breath. Just as Saint Shen Yang was about to kill Ye Jiu, Aoba and Zuo Ling’s attack came again, forcing him back into a fierce battle.
