Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 256: Ancient Divine General

The horn of attack!

Everyone was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, then their expressions turned fervent.

During this period, there have been official announcements from the Divine Court, advising all parties to prepare for war.

They always thought that this so-called preparation for war was merely defensive, meant to fend off the attacks from the Immortal Extinction Realm.

But now.

These people realized they had been wrong from the very beginning.

The Divine Emperor never intended to be on the defensive; instead, he aimed to launch a proactive assault. Now, with fifteen Great Emperor-level influences united, he intended to directly attack the Immortal Extinction Realm.

It had to be said.

Gu Qingyang’s boldness left everyone astounded.

Who could have anticipated it?

Even while the enemy appears strong and we seem weak, they still dare to make the first move.

"As expected of my idol, the Divine Emperor is truly formidable!"

"What of fifteen Great Emperor-level influences? When was the last time our Divine Emperor was afraid of anyone?"

"Excellent, excellent, excellent. I thought we had to take a beating, never expected we’d launch an offensive, the Divine Emperor’s courage is indeed remarkable."

"No hype, no hate, is it really okay to go on the offensive now?"

"What’s there to fear? Whether we take a beating or attack, it’s still fighting. We might as well muster all our strength. Everyone heard that bell just now, surely the authorities have been prepared."

"My broadsword is itching for action..."

...

The discussion in the Divine Kingdom’s chat group was heated among everyone.

It must be said.

Gu Qingyang launching an offensive excited many people’s hearts and minds.

After all, taking the initiative represents confidence.

If not for the confidence, how would the Divine Court dare to make the first move?

Soon.

Orders were issued, and everyone made comprehensive preparations.

Meanwhile, in the main hall of the Divine Capital used for discussions, all high-ranking officials had gathered there.

In front of them, there appeared an illusory image, with mountains and rivers outlined, alongside many red dots, each annotated with corresponding text.

Shanggong Family!

Nine Mountains Sacred Land!

Han Yue Sect!

...

These are the local influences of the Immortal Extinction Realm, each name and red dot representing either a noble sect or an ancient sacred land.

This.

Is the map of the Immortal Extinction Realm, crafted by the Cyan Yang Divine Court, after investing significant manpower and resources either through direct reconnaissance or by gathering information from various sources.

To know one’s enemy is to ensure victory in every battle.

Therefore.

To confront the various influences of the Immortal Extinction Realm, one must first have a basic understanding of it.

Now.

This image included all the opposing forces to the Cyan Yang Divine Court, with some red dots darkened to near black, each representing a Great Emperor-level influence.

Five Great Emperor-level influences of Central Province!

Five Great Emperor-level influences of the Divine Wilderness!

Five Great Emperor-level influences of Celestial Desolation!

Altogether fifteen Great Emperor-level influences, all marked on the image.

"Our primary enemies are these fifteen Great Emperor-level influences, but they are beyond our current capabilities to handle.

Ancient powers waking, every Great Emperor-level influence has an Eighth-order Quasi-Emperor-level figure at their helm.

Therefore, our targets are the other average sacred lands and the remaining noble sects..."

Gu Fang pointed to the map, speaking in a deep voice.

It’s natural that the Great Emperor-level influences are left to the Divine Emperor to handle; the primary task of the Divine Court is to suppress all other forces.

"While our Cyan Yang Divine Court currently lacks Seventh-order Saints, Saints are not unkillable; it just requires a considerable price to surround and kill one.

Thus, Cyan Yang Realm will also provide suitable weaponry to aid us in this war against the Immortal Extinction Realm!"

Gu Fang continued.

Though cultivation is predominant now, it’s not to say that Cyan Yang Realm has wholly neglected technological advancement.

In fact.

The Divine Kingdom’s store holds many technological methods available for exchange, and there has always been a group within Cyan Yang Realm focused on technology research, making notable progress over several decades.

Hence, this battle is not merely a clash between cultivators, but also a competition between technology and cultivation. Gu Fang, being somewhat knowledgeable about the current technological developments of Cyan Yang Realm, could ensure some impact when the true war erupts.

"Additionally..."

"There’s something else I hope everyone understands!"

"This battle isn’t about destruction; its aim is to strengthen the Divine Court, to prepare for the day we step into the cosmic starry sky.

So, this battle isn’t about slaughtering — any influence that can be subdued should be, but should they refuse to surrender, then they shall be exterminated straight away.

The judgment of which is up to each of you!"

At this point, Gu Fang added another sentence.

"These words aren’t entirely my intentions, they are the Divine Emperor’s as well!"

"We understand, everything is for the Divine Court!"

The others, with solemn expressions, nodded in agreement.

If the Cyan Yang Divine Court was truly to dominate the cosmic starry sky one day, it couldn’t rely solely on slaughter. Subduing them into becoming part of the Divine Court is the truly stable approach.

Otherwise.

Continuing to kill, how many more lives would have to fall?

Those present weren’t executioners, and naturally couldn’t act devoid of conscience.

...

Just as the Demon Emperor Bell echoed and the Cyan Yang Divine Court fully prepared to set out,

At the Human Emperor Sacred Land.

In the instant the Demon Emperor Bell rang, a sharp edge tore through the void, an apparition of an ancient divine sword emerged, an overwhelming heavenly force engulfed the entire void.

At that moment.

All experts of the Human Emperor Sacred Land changed their expressions drastically.

"Why is there a disturbance with the Human Emperor Sword?"

"Where exactly did that bell sound come from just now?"

Human Emperor Sword!

This is the top Emperor’s Soldier left by the first ancient Human Emperor; since the last sovereign Human Emperor’s demise, no one has been able to use it.

Since then.

The Human Emperor Sword has been ensconced as a Supreme Treasure of the Human Emperor Sacred Land, sealed away for a hundred thousand years.

Who could have anticipated that after ten thousand years of silence, the Human Emperor Sword would suddenly erupt into disturbance, clearly related to the bell sound just heard?

At this moment.

An ancient and simple aura suddenly appeared, and with it, the temperature of the entire Human Emperor Sacred Land seemed to rise out of thin air, flames erupted, and a majestic figure was birthed from the flames.

When this figure appeared, the Human Emperor Saint Master and other key figures of the sacred land all changed their expressions, bowing collectively to the red-haired Divine General before them.

"Greetings, Chi Yan Divine General!"

Chi Yan Divine General!

One of the Five Directions Divine Generals of the Ancient Human Race Imperial Court.

Since the fall of the Human Race Imperial Court, this ancient Divine General has sealed himself, waiting for the day of reemergence.

Nobody expected that after sealing himself for a hundred thousand years, the Chi Yan Divine General would suddenly emerge now.

The Chi Yan Divine General ignored those present, instead fixing his gaze on the divine sword apparition in the void, his voice carrying terrifying killing intent.

"The Demon Emperor Bell rings, the Human Emperor Sword emerges, the Demon Race stirs once more!"
