"So, if I devour the Golden Feathered Eagle, none of the fierce beasts in the mountain range can threaten me.
By then, with my strength, I can devour other fierce beasts without any worries, allowing me to break through faster!"
Gu Qingyang thought of this and made a decision.
After all, his status as a second-tier perfect Ancient Tree is something that cannot be hidden. After this battle, the Golden Feathered Eagle will certainly need to devour other fierce beasts to recover.
Gu Qingyang knew without even thinking that, as a second-tier perfect Ancient Tree, the energy flowing through him is exactly what the Golden Feathered Eagle needs.
Rather than being passive, it's better to take action swiftly.
...
Just as Gu Qingyang made his decision, on the other side, after being severely injured, the Golden Feathered Eagle went mad, cruelly killing several third-tier evolvers.
Now, on the human side, only a third-tier mid-grade marshal and a third-tier low-grade youth remain.
But both are now heavily injured, and falling is just a matter of an instant.
The youth faced the charging Golden Feathered Eagle, his face filled with unwillingness: "I didn't expect to die here, it's a pity I couldn't kill this beast..."
But no matter how unwilling he was, he couldn't change the fact that he was going to die.
He thought back to a dozen years ago, when he had survived by chance by consuming the flesh of a fierce beast, undergoing a mutation to become one of the legendary evolvers, and then cultivated step by step to become one of the top evolvers of the Federation.
Then he received news of the turmoil at the Kunlun Mountain Range and came with the Federation army to suppress the fierce beasts.
In the end.
All images froze here.
Yang You's unwilling expression disappeared, his gaze became incredibly firm, and all his strength gathered for one final strike.
"Even if I die, I want to make you pay..."
Just as Yang You was preparing to risk it all.
Suddenly.
A black berserk python shot up from the earth, piercing into the wound on the Golden Feathered Eagle's abdomen, causing such intense pain that the eagle let out an angry screech.
However, before the Golden Feathered Eagle could react, many more black berserk pythons arose from the earth, instantly binding the eagle tightly and forcibly dragging it downward.
Everything happened too quickly, so fast that the others had no time to react.
By the time Yang You came to his senses, the Golden Feathered Eagle had already been dragged down, and he saw clearly that the so-called black berserk pythons were actually tree roots.
"These are... tree roots!"
Yang You was utterly shocked, seeing for the first time a towering Ancient Tree standing there, countless roots spearing up from the ground around it.
The Golden Feathered Eagle, which had once reigned supreme, was now firmly bound by the tree roots, unable to escape no matter how it struggled.
Soon after.
The massive Golden Feathered Eagle could be seen gradually weakening to an extent visible to the naked eye, its fierce struggles also slowly diminishing.
Eventually.
The Golden Feathered Eagle fell silent, its once plump body turned emaciated.
Finally.
In Yang You's shocked gaze, the earth split open, and the massive corpse of the Golden Feathered Eagle was forcibly dragged into the depths of the earth, its trace disappearing completely.
...
"Devoured a third-tier perfect fierce beast, gained ten thousand Evolution Value!"
Gu Qingyang ignored the astonishment of others, and after devouring the Golden Feathered Eagle, a powerful force surged from the roots into his trunk.
Looking at his own data, the Evolution Value required for the breakthrough had already overflowed.
...
Name: Gu Qingyang
Essence: Ancient Tree
Lifespan: 15/7500
Rank: Second-tier perfect (108000/100000 can break through)
Innate Divine Techniques: Death Root (second-tier), Vigorous Growth (second-tier), Spiritual Energy Affinity (second-tier), Ancient Tree Talent (second-tier), Divine Power Fruit (second-tier), Divine Whisper (second-tier), Eye of True Sight (second-tier)
...
"Break through!"
With a thought from Gu Qingyang, a more majestic power surged from the trunk.
A giant Ancient Tree, hundreds of meters tall, rose rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, reaching a height of one thousand meters in no time.
This kind of Ancient Tree is especially conspicuous in the entire Kunlun Mountain Range.
At this moment, everyone instinctively looked up towards the Kunlun Mountain Range, where the Ancient Tree stood tall, its lush and prosperous branches spread like a canopy.
However.
Gu Qingyang's breakthrough was not yet over.
Eleven hundred meters!
Twelve hundred meters!
Thirteen hundred meters!
Fifteen hundred meters!
...
When the Ancient Tree broke through to fifteen hundred meters, its growth barely stopped, its massive branches spread wide like a Divine Tree propping up the heavens in mythological times.
At the same time.
An extremely powerful aura emanated from Gu Qingyang, instantly sweeping across the entire Kunlun Mountain Range.
All the fierce beasts, sensing this aura, were filled with panic, prostrating on the ground, not daring to move.
"Such a... strong aura!"
Yang You's expression changed again and again, unable to hide the astonishment in his eyes.
The Ancient Tree before him was much larger than the Golden Feathered Eagle, and the aura it exuded was no weaker than that of the Golden Feathered Eagle.
Without a doubt.
The strength of the Ancient Tree could entirely rival the dead Golden Feathered Eagle.
However, Yang You was unsure whether this Ancient Tree belonged to the category of fierce beasts, as fierce beasts are typically animals, and it's his first time seeing such a formidable plant.
On the other side.
The marshal also rose into the air, his face showing the same uncontrollable shock as Yang You's.
"This tree is definitely not simple. If it belongs to the side of the fierce beasts, we might not be able to contend with it!"
Not to mention that now only two of the nine third-tier evolvers remain, even if all nine were present, they probably wouldn't be able to stop the Ancient Tree before them.
As a third-tier mid-grade evolver, the marshal's perception was far more acute than Yang You's. From the aura of the towering Ancient Tree before him, he sensed that it was even stronger than the Golden Feathered Eagle.
A being of this level belongs to the top echelon globally.
Ignoring the astonishment of the crowd.
Breaking through the third tier allowed Gu Qingyang to feel a powerful transformation he had never experienced before, distinct from the breakthrough metamorphosis in past tiers.
The roots expanded.
Centered around Gu Qingyang, the roots could cover an area of thirty kilometers, and the fifteen-hundred-meter-tall trunk provided a powerful visual impact.
...

...
As Gu Qingyang looked at his current data, his heart was once again shaken.
Compared to his second-tier data, some innate divine techniques were gone, but new ones had also appeared.
