Apart from the skyrocketing Evolution Value, the number of believers also surged.
Gu Qingyang only felt the Faith Power within the trunk of the Ancient Tree becoming more abundant, and a constant stream of new believers' notifications appearing, but he blocked them all.
From the beast tide until now, in less than ten minutes, Gu Qingyang had slain hundreds of Fierce Beasts.
A feeling of saturation rose in his heart, prompting Gu Qingyang to glance at his data panel.
...
Name: Gu Qingyang
Essence: Ancient Tree
Lifespan: 15/10000
Rank: Tier 3 Low Grade (210500/200000 breakthrough possible)
Divine Kingdom: Not established (236520/1000000)
Innate Divine Techniques: Ancient Tree Roots (Tier 3), Spirit Root of the Ancient Tree (Tier 3), Divine Fruit (Tier 3), Divine Whisper (Tier 3), Eye of True Sight (Tier 3), Divine Domain (Tier 3)
...
As expected.
The Evolution Value instantly broke through the 200,000 mark, reaching 210,000, while the Faith Power skyrocketed from just over 10,000 to over 200,000.
Without hesitation.
Gu Qingyang decided to break through.
With his thoughts settled, across all live stream perspectives, the majestic Ancient Tree towering at 1,500 meters visibly shot up, instantly breaking the 2,000-meter height barrier.
That immense, abyss-like aura, even through a live stream screen, instinctively inspired awe in people.
"The power of the Ancient Tree has grown stronger again!"
"Devouring Fierce Beasts can level up, the Ancient Tree is amazing!"
"Never expected the beast tide to be delivering itself to the Ancient Tree. At this rate, even if a Tier 4 Fierce Beast comes, it won't be a match for the Ancient Tree, right?"
Everyone was thrilled, for them, the stronger the Ancient Tree, the longer it could hold back the Fierce Beasts.
The best course of action is to block all the Fierce Beasts in the Kunlun Mountain Range.
...
Federation leadership.
"The Ancient Tree has broken through again, its strength might not be weaker than a Tier 4 Medium Grade!"
Yang Yan said solemnly.
Previously, when it could instantaneously kill a Tier 3 Perfect Fierce Beast, it was estimated that its strength was at least in Tier 4 Low Grade. Now, with the breakthrough, it is at least Tier 4 Medium Grade.
An Ancient Tree of Tier 4 Medium Grade, naturally isn't invincible among the Fierce Beasts, especially since Fierce Beasts of Tier 4 Medium Grade have already emerged after the blood rain.
However.
The breakthrough of the Ancient Tree is good news for the Federation.
The stronger the Ancient Tree is, the longer it can intercept the Fierce Beasts.
...
Name: Gu Qingyang
Essence: Ancient Tree
Lifespan: 15/15000
Rank: Tier 3 Medium Grade (10500/400000)
Divine Kingdom: Not established (236520/1000000)
Innate Divine Techniques: Ancient Tree Roots (Tier 3), Spirit Root of the Ancient Tree (Tier 3), Divine Fruit (Tier 3), Divine Whisper (Tier 3), Eye of True Sight (Tier 3), Divine Domain (Tier 3)
...
"Tier 3 Medium Grade now!"
Gu Qingyang glanced at his data panel, seeing that the Evolution Value required for a breakthrough had doubled.
Additionally, the range of the Divine Domain expanded from 30 kilometers to 60 kilometers.
Now.
The roots of the Ancient Tree can extend beyond the Kunlun Mountain Range.
Looking at the continuous onslaught of Fierce Beasts, Gu Qingyang saw them as walking Evolution Values, unable to resist.
A multitude of roots pierced through the ground, savagely stabbing into each Fierce Beast, extracting their blood and flesh essence entirely.
Even Tier 3 Perfect Fierce Beasts had no room for resistance.
After all.
When Gu Qingyang was at Tier 3 Low Grade, relying on the essence of the Spirit Root of the Ancient Tree, he was already stronger than most Tier 3 Perfect ones, and with the effect of the Divine Domain, he was confident in dealing with Tier 4 Low Grade Fierce Beasts.
Now, after breaking into Tier 3 Medium Grade, Gu Qingyang's essence is enough to rival Tier 4 Low Grade, and in combination with the Divine Domain, his strength is not weaker than Tier 4 Medium Grade Fierce Beasts.
In these conditions, Tier 3 Perfect Fierce Beasts stand no chance.
Ultimately.
Under the suppression of the Divine Domain, Tier 3 Perfect Fierce Beasts are only equivalent to Tier 3 High Grade.
In a relative decline, it's a one-sided massacre.
"Devouring a Tier 3 Perfect Fierce Beast, gained 10,000 Evolution Value!"
"Devouring a Tier 3 High Grade Fierce Beast, gained 7,000 Evolution Value!"
"Devouring a Tier 2 High Grade Fierce Beast, gained 350 Evolution Value!"
"Devouring a Tier 2 Low Grade…"
"Devouring…"
With the Divine Domain extending to 60 kilometers, Gu Qingyang's speed in killing Fierce Beasts became faster, countless roots reaped like death's scythe, without any pressure.
Whether it's Tier 2 or Tier 3 Fierce Beasts, none of them are opponents.
This one-sided situation filled those watching the live broadcast with awe and an unspeakable excitement.
Long ago.
Fierce Beasts ran rampant unchallenged, the Human Federation retreated step by step, with no room for resistance.
The beast tide was like an invincible legion, with nothing in existence able to intercept it.
Until now.
The emergence of Gu Qingyang made everyone awaken to the fact that the beast tide is not truly invincible, and Fierce Beasts can also be slaughtered.
"Kill, kill all these Fierce Beasts clean!"
"The Ancient Tree is invincible!"
"Well done!"
Some cursed, some laughed, while others were boiling with blood, wanting to go directly to the Kunlun Mountain Range to fight the Fierce Beasts with blood.
Soon.
The ground trembled.
A Giant Ape Fierce Beast several hundred meters tall appeared on the live broadcast screen, its fierce, violent aura made everyone's expressions change.
Federation leadership.
Gu Fang's expression changed: "Demon Ape!"
Demon Ape!
Tier 4 Low Grade Fierce Beast!
Everyone's mind mirrored the corresponding information upon seeing the Giant Ape.
After all, Tier 4 Fierce Beasts are catastrophic beings; for such levels of Fierce Beasts, the Federation definitely collects related intelligence.
In fact.
The Federation has some understanding of all Tier 4 Fierce Beasts and has ranked all Tier 4 Fierce Beasts.
"Ranked 23rd among Tier 4 Fierce Beasts, Demon Ape ranks tenth, belonging to the top tier among Tier 4 Low Grade Fierce Beasts.
Tens of thousands have died under the Demon Ape's hands, now it's up to the Ancient Tree to see if it can kill the Demon Ape!"
A middle-aged marshal said solemnly, looking at the Demon Ape with eyes full of anger and murderous intent.
Any ranking on the Fierce Beast List is paid for with countless human lives; how could they not be furious?
Thus, when the Demon Ape appeared, all eyes were on it.
No matter how many Fierce Beasts the Ancient Tree in the Kunlun Mountain Range kills, they are merely dealing with beasts below Tier 4. The truly formidable ones are the Tier 4 Fierce Beasts.
Now that a Tier 4 Fierce Beast has appeared, whether they can be dealt with will depend on this battle.
At the same time.
Outside the federation leadership, when numerous civilian evolvers saw the appearance of the Demon Ape, they knew how terrifying this Fierce Beast is, especially after seeing its several hundred-meter-long body, they silently clenched their fists for the Ancient Tree.
