Chapter 612: Chapter 583: Half-Step Tier 16
In previous prognostications.
The Nine Luminaries Immortal Emperor was the sole fifteenth-tier entity to appear, but this time, alongside the appearance of the Nine Luminaries Immortal Emperor, dozens of entities of the same fifteenth tier descended.
Their terrifying and extreme prowess, merely with the emission of their aura, was enough to cause the starry sky to crumble, and with every gesture, they wield the terrifying power capable of obliterating a galaxy.
When they saw the Cyan Yang Divine Realm, their faces showed shock.
"Unexpectedly, such a level of world exists in the Lower Realm!"
"Indeed, as the Daoist Ancestor predicted, this is the variable of the Lower Realm..."
"Kill him, the opportunity for ascension to sainthood lies here!"
Led by the Nine Luminaries Immortal Emperor, the group of fifteenth-tier entities now all gazed greedily at the Heavenly Dao Divine Tree, then joined forces to attack.
Any one of the fifteenth-tier entities possesses terrifying strength.
Now, with dozens of entities joining forces, the resulting momentum was even more terrifying to the extreme.
However.
As the opponent of the Nine Luminaries Immortal Emperor, the Heavenly Dao Divine Tree appeared far more daunting.
The roots spreading across galaxies rose from the ground, effortlessly smashing a fifteenth-tier entity, causing a rain of blood across the starry sky, yet this did not cause the remaining entities to retreat.
"Boom!"
"Boom rumble!"
Various Dao Rhyme Divine Techniques, like dazzling streams of light, bombarded the Heavenly Dao Divine Tree, yet such destructive power capable of annihilating galaxies did not harm the Heavenly Dao Divine Tree in the slightest.
Conversely.
The Heavenly Dao Divine Tree shuddered slightly, billions of Sword Qi shot out, piercing through the bodies of the fifteenth-tier entities, forcefully obliterating them on the spot.
In less than a moment.
Half of the dozens of fifteenth-tier entities had fallen.
Yet.
At this moment, an entity clad in a cyan robe, with an indistinguishable visage, stepped out of the Immortal Path and came across from the void, emitting an invisible pressure that instantly oppressed the starry sky, causing time to stagnate.
Facing this entity, with his own essence as the perspective, Gu Qingyang could clearly sense that overwhelming pressure.
This aura.
Gu Qingyang was all too familiar with it.
Such aura.
It was none other than the same as the finger that had destroyed him in previous prognostications.
Thus.
Gu Qingyang had understood.
This was the owner of that finger.
"The Immortal Vein nurtures itself, the sixth-tier heaven and earth!"
"With Body and Dao Integration, relying solely on the power of the sixth-tier heaven and earth, to slay fifteenth-tier cultivators like ants, it truly is an extraordinary variable of the Lower Realm..."
The cyan-robed Daoist said calmly, then pressed a palm down, shattering billions of miles of starry sky, countless galaxies turning into dust under this power.
Gu Qingyang could feel a surge of anger arising in his future self’s heart, then unleash his strongest strike with all his might.
The Star River spanned the void.
Supreme Sword Dao Power cut through time immemorial, blasting towards the cyan-robed Daoist.
A strike filled with wrath.
As if causing the entire starry sky to tremble.
When the two forces collided, the palm capable of grinding countless galaxies trembled slightly, appearing to have cracks emerging, but the next moment it had restored as before.
Then the star river shattered, and the Sword Dao Power collapsed.
"The power of a Semi-Saint is decent, but ultimately falls far short of that of a Saint!"
At the moment his own body was extinguished, Gu Qingyang only heard the calm words of the cyan-robed man, and then his consciousness disappeared entirely.
...
Thoughts returned.
Gu Qingyang remained silent for a long time.
Until the sense of exhaustion arose within his Divine Soul, jolting him awake suddenly.
This time, the consumption from the prognostication was far greater than any previous prognostication.
Likewise.
The scene witnessed.
Was unmatched by previous viewings.
"Semi-Saint!"
"In that case, if development follows the normal path, my strength at that time should equate to a Semi-Saint, which is akin to the standard of a half-step sixteenth-tier entity!"
Unfortunately.
Half-step sixteenth-tier.
Ultimately remains just a half-step.
In the face of a true sixteenth-tier entity, it is indistinguishable from an ant.
Compared to previous prognostications, Gu Qingyang this time has truly engaged in a frontal encounter with that sixteenth-tier entity, even though he was slain in one face-off, it nonetheless counts as a confrontation.
"If development proceeds at the current pace, then by the time of the calamity’s arrival, the Cyan Yang Divine Realm may well have just reached the level of sixth-tier heaven and earth!"
Sixth-tier heaven and earth!
The Heavenly Dao corresponds to the level of fourteenth-tier entities.
But the Cyan Yang Divine Realm is different, coupled with having the Hongmeng Jade Disc in hand, thus Gu Qingyang, though as the sixth-tier Heavenly Dao, had his battle prowess reaching the half-step sixteenth-tier level, slaying fifteenth-tier cultivators like ants.
Yet in front of true sixteenth-tier entities, there is still a significant difference.
Therefore.
The most crucial thing for Gu Qingyang now is to elevate the strength of other cultivators as much as possible.
After all, the criteria for promotion to seventh-tier heaven and earth merely involves possessing superior Immortal Veins.
Given the current foundation of Cyan Yang Divine Realm, it should be more than capable of being promoted to seventh-tier heaven and earth, yet failing to do so in over twenty thousand years, there is only one explanation.
The strength of the cultivators in Cyan Yang Divine Realm is inadequate.
Seventh-tier heaven and earth.
Requires ten fourteenth-tier entities to emerge and validate their path.
Presently.
As of now, the Cyan Yang Divine Realm at that time did not have enough fourteenth-tier entities, let alone progressing to eighth-tier heaven and earth.
Considering the situation at that time, Gu Qingyang feels that if he is to contend against sixteenth-tier entities, then he must at least ascend to seventh-tier heaven and earth.
As for confronting entities of Harmonization tier existence, only reaching eighth-tier heaven and earth renders it feasible.
Though the gap between sixth-tier heaven and earth and eighth-tier heaven and earth seems merely two tiers apart, the difficulty is as insurmountable as a chasm.
To satisfy the requisite number of entities later on seems far from easy.
Several days later.
A voice rose from Kunlun Divine Realm, swiftly spreading throughout the Cyan Yang Divine Realm.
"One year from now, this Emperor will be lecturing at Kunlun Divine Realm, anyone with fate may come to listen!"
A simple sentence.
Caused tremors in Cyan Yang Divine Realm.
Many cultivators in seclusion hurriedly emerged without hesitation, heading directly towards the direction of Cyan Yang Prefecture.
The Divine Emperor lecturing!
To them, it is akin to the supreme opportunity of being ranked on the Celestial List.
Though lectures by strong entities are not uncommon in Cyan Yang Divine Realm, lectures by Immortals, for cultivators below Immortals, represent immense opportunity.
If one can comprehend something, it is enough to significantly advance their own strength.
However.
No matter how beneficial Immortal lectures are, they cannot compare to the Divine Emperor’s lecture.
Gu Qingyang’s prowess is deep and unfathomable, in the eyes of people in Cyan Yang Divine Realm, the opponent was at least a thirteenth-tier or higher being.
If able to listen to lectures from such strong entities, the benefits are unimaginable.
Therefore.
Not only ordinary cultivators were moved.
Even Cyan Emperor and Gu Fang, these pinnacle entities already stepping into the eleventh tier, could not suppress their internal excitement, promptly setting out towards Kunlun Divine Realm.
