Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 207: Desolate Ancient Factions—Coercion and Temptation

Chapter 207: Chapter 207: Desolate Ancient Factions—Coercion and Temptation

Ancient Wilderness.

Amidst the scene, eighteen towering cities stood, each occupying a boundary of the Ancient Wilderness, with every city hosting a million cultivators.

Some of these cultivators hailed from the Cyan Yang Realm, while others were local powers of the Ancient Wilderness.

After the Cyan Yang Divine Court annihilated the Sacred Lands of three territories, it then subdued the entire Ancient Wilderness, sparing none who refused to submit, except through bloodshed.

The remaining forces had no choice but to surrender to the Cyan Yang Divine Court.

Thus.

Faced with the coalition of Sacred Lands from all sides, the Cyan Yang Divine Court naturally drew all these forces to the frontlines as the main defense against the armies.

"Has the information on the ten Great Emperor-level influences been thoroughly gathered?"

In the first city, Gu Fang gazed upon the desolate landscape ahead, a formless murderous aura pervaded, even the sunset seemed tinged with blood.

Behind him stood Yang You, who, upon hearing these words, replied without hesitation, "We have essentially gathered all the relevant information.

The Great Emperor-level influences from Central Province include the Feng Family, the War God Palace, and the Great Sun Sacred Land; whereas from the Divine Wilderness, there’s the Divine Martial Dynasty, the Taichu Sacred Land, the Immortal Spirit Sacred Land, and the Celestial Thunder Sacred Land.

As for the Celestial Desolation, those who have arrived are the Water Moon Dynasty, the Ji Family, and the Celestial Palace Sacred Land!"

Among the ten Great Emperor-level influences, the Divine Wilderness commands four, while Central Province and Celestial Desolation each have three Great Emperor-level influences taking the field.

Gu Fang was not surprised by the appearance of the Taichu Sacred Land, the Feng Family, and the War God Palace, among others.

After all, his and Zhang Ming’s identities had been exposed, and every sacred land had to make some kind of statement, be it emotionally or logically.

As Gu Fang pondered silently, Yang You continued, "According to the latest intelligence, the ten Great Emperor-level influences did not arrive simultaneously, but in succession.

Currently, the First City is positioned at the forefront; in about two days, the strongmen of the Water Moon Dynasty and the Ji Family will arrive.

The Water Moon Dynasty is a Great Emperor-level influence from the Desolate Ancient period, while the Ji Family hails from the Ancient Times.

Both forces have significant inheritances, and if they launch a direct assault on the First City, we must be thoroughly prepared!"

Great Emperor-level influences vary; those from the Desolate Ancient period generally have deeper foundations than those from the Ancient Times.

Of course.

A foundation does not fully represent strength.

Though the Ji Family may not chronologically compare to the Water Moon Dynasty, it had Great Emperors in the Ancient Times, making its strength formidable too.

Gu Fang said, "No matter what foundation the Immortal Extinction Realm has, our Cyan Yang Divine Court must not retreat even a step; the Cyan Yang Realm, after its ancient upheaval, finds it hard to recover its Primordial Energy.

For us cultivators to advance further, we must establish a foothold in the Immortal Extinction Realm!"

Although the Divine Kingdom chat group is bound to have seven-tier and higher items appear in the future, exchanging treasures requires corresponding contributions.

Available ways to earn contributions within the Cyan Yang Realm have become exceedingly scarce.

At most, it lies in the part of the Fierce Beasts lurking in the deep sea.

But the contributions these Fierce Beasts can actually offer are few and far between.

Consequently, the Divine Court has spared them from complete eradication, allowing them to proliferate in the deep sea, providing ordinary cultivators a pathway to earning contributions.

Thus, if the territory of the Ancient Wilderness is lost, the Cyan Yang Divine Court will find it very difficult to further advance.

Moreover, attempting to re-enter the Ancient Wilderness in the future will encounter multiple times the resistance seen now, as the Immortal Extinction Realm will definitely not afford the Cyan Yang Divine Court another chance to step into the Ancient Wilderness.

From any perspective, the Cyan Yang Divine Court cannot afford defeat in this battle.

"If the Divine Emperor takes action, there might be a chance to counter the Immortal Extinction Realm!"

Yang You said gravely.

Upon hearing this, Gu Fang shook his head, "The Divine Emperor will not act rashly; ultimately, this battle must be resolved by the Divine Court itself."

At that point.

Gu Fang suddenly smiled confidently, an aura of formidable strength radiating from him, "I’ve made some progress in my cultivation recently; this battle will be a good opportunity to validate myself through the hands of the Water Moon Dynasty and the Ji Family.

As long as they have no Saint emerging, there shouldn’t be a major issue!"

"The Elder has broken through to the sixth-tier upper grade!"

Yang You’s face lit up with joy.

Gu Fang was originally of the sixth-tier middle grade, but with the Overlord Divine Body, he could face even a perfect sixth-tier powerhouse without falling short.

Now, having broken through to the sixth-tier upper grade, his strength will undoubtedly reach new heights.

After all, between sixth-tier powerhouses, having a Divine Body makes a world of difference.

Gu Fang smiled slightly, "Just a fortunate breakthrough, it’s a pity the time left for the Divine Court is too short. If given another ten years, I would certainly hope to reach the sixth-tier perfection.

By then, I would have the confidence to contend with even an ordinary Saint!"

Confidence resonated strongly within Gu Fang’s words.

As long as he could reach the sixth-tier perfection, he would have the confidence to compete with Saints.

Even without the breakthrough, he had the confidence to dominate within the sixth tier.

Gu Fang had a premonition that his chance of reaching the sixth-tier perfection might lie with the Water Moon Dynasty and the Ji Family.

...

As the news of the imminent arrival of the two Great Emperor-level influences spread, the entire First City entered a state of lockdown, with many local cultivators of the Ancient Wilderness deeply worried, as if already witnessing the scene of the two great forces annihilating the First City.

In their view, no matter how powerful the Cyan Yang Divine Court is, it cannot contend against Great Emperor-level influences.

Not to mention that this time, the myriad influences of the Immortal Extinction Realm stormed in, allowing no chance for the Cyan Yang Divine Court to retreat.

Consequently.

These forces harbored intentions to evacuate.

But alas, the Cyan Yang Divine Court had already preempted the betrayal of these cultivators, having taken control of their families, sects, and other forces, commanding all cultivators to join the battle; otherwise, before the city falls, those affiliated with these cultivators would be exterminated first.

Faced with such coercion, even if these cultivators bore any resentment, they had no choice but to endure.

Nonetheless.

The Cyan Yang Divine Court wasn’t entirely coercive. Cultivators displaying even a modicum of faith were invited into the Divine Kingdom chat group, whereupon the Divine Kingdom issued relevant contribution tasks.

Once they beheld the numerous treasures and secret techniques in the Divine Kingdom shop, many cultivators were utterly blinded by greed.

Six-tier Secret Techniques!

These are the Techniques that only top major sects could wield.

To Sacred Lands, a six-tier secret technique might not be a big deal, but to ordinary cultivators, any six-tier secret technique could serve as the supreme treasure of sect or family tradition.

Not to mention.

Beyond the six-tier secret techniques, there existed several seventh-tier and even eighth-tier secret techniques.

Touching on realms of Saints and Quasi-Emperors, these techniques drove every cultivator mad, with even those top sects housing True Monarchs struggling to remain calm.

For with the attainment of these secret techniques, they would have the potential to found a Sacred Land or a lasting family line.

The allure of such rewards is undeniably immense.
