unleashed all his power, his vast energy and blood surging like a raging river, his fiery strength exploding like the sun illuminating the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qingyang struck out with a palm, the sun’s energy and blood shattering space, causing the green-haired creature to emit a painful roar, its entire body incinerated to nothingness by the energy and blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The death of the green-haired creature caused the entire Spiritual Forbidden Area to tremble, and swarms of green-haired creatures crawled out from the depths of the earth, surrounding Gu Qingyang in moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qingyang activated the Eye of Heavenly Dao, and the relevant information entered his vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Name:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Essence: Corpse Monster\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tier: Tier

Six Excellent strength was naturally not to be feared, but the sheer number of Corpse Monsters appearing in front of him was overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the eerie, chilling aura in the Spiritual Forbidden Area constantly eroded his energy and blood, and even Saints risked depletion if they stayed too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the green-haired Corpse Monsters charging, Gu Qingyang didn’t hold back, using his finger as a sword, unleashing Heaven-Reaching Sword Qi to tear through space, slaying the Corpse Monsters on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his power to instantly kill Tier Seven Saints, Tier Six Excellent Corpse Monsters were no different from ants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Gu Qingyang was slaying the Corpse Monsters, an extreme terrifying aura suddenly spread from the depths of the Spiritual Forbidden Area, overwhelming him with a strong ominous premonition that made his face change abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soul-shattering roar echoed, and all the Corpse Monsters stopped moving, kneeling and prostrating towards the depths of the Spiritual Forbidden Area, not daring to budge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qingyang looked towards the direction from which the aura emanated and saw the blood moon hanging in the sky, a colossal body like a mountain rising from the shattered earth, with hair like the Corpse Monster, emitting an extremely eerie red glow under the blood moon’s light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qingyang activated the Eye

changed dramatically, a Tier Nine Excellent Corpse Demon was clearly an emperor-level threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-haired Corpse Demon seemed to sense the prying of the Eye of Heavenly Dao, and its blood-red eyes pierced through the void, locking eyes with Gu Qingyang, revealing nothing but brutal slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The angry roar shattered the void, Gu Qingyang felt as if his Divine Soul was being torn apart, as he saw the red-haired Corpse Demon’s terrifying claws strike with thunderous force, almost suffocating him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one strike, Gu Qingyang’s Dharma Body shattered instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-haired Corpse Demon, seeing Gu Qingyang disappear, became even more furious, roaring at the blood moon, audible even outside the Spiritual Forbidden Area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many veteran experts familiar with the Spiritual Forbidden Area gazed in fear at the red-haired Corpse Demon beneath the blood moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not good, the eerie presence of the Spiritual Forbidden Area has awakened!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such a terrifying aura, it might even surpass a Saint, who would have thought such a dreadful presence resided there...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura emitted by the red-haired Corpse Demon was audible even outside the Spiritual Forbidden Area, causing every cultivator to feel as insignificant as ants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, they feared the red-haired Corpse Demon would burst from the Spiritual Forbidden Area and start a massacre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-haired Corpse Demon disappeared after a brief appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, the entire Chaotic Forbidden Area returned to calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyan Yang Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Divine Tree swayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faith Divine Power and Spiritual Power interwove, and a Dharma Body had been reborn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening his eyes, Gu Qingyang recollected the scene in the Spiritual Forbidden Area, his eyes filled with deep gravity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Tier Nine Excellent Corpse Demon, an existence equal to a Great Emperor, who would have thought such terror resides in the Spiritual Forbidden Area of the Ancient Wilderness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I’m not mistaken, that might have been the Peak Emperor slain in the Spiritual Forbidden Area!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither the Corpse Monsters nor the red-haired Corpse Demon was the true eerie nature of the Spiritual Forbidden Area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment he stepped into the Spiritual Forbidden Area, Gu Qingyang sensed an unexplainable eeriness, as though unseen eyes were watching him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reflecting on it now, Gu Qingyang suspected that was the true eerie origin of the Spiritual Forbidden Area, with the red-haired Corpse Demon and the Corpse Monsters likely being eerie puppets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the Ancient Times, a Great Emperor was slain in the Spiritual Forbidden Area, his corpse corrupted into a Corpse Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the other Corpse Monsters, they were probably cultivators who entered the Spiritual Forbidden Area and fell, transformed into Corpse Monsters by the eerie power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though these are merely Gu Qingyang’s conjectures, he believes they are quite close to the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Regardless of the true eeriness of the Spiritual Forbidden Area, the Tier Nine Excellent Corpse Demon alone is beyond what anyone can handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Corpse Demon were to leave the Chaotic Forbidden Area, its Tier Nine Excellent power could devastate the entire Immortal Extinction Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the red-haired Corpse Demon’s horror, Gu Qingyang shook his head inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Zuo Shen Peak’s strength is formidable, then it is still just an ant in front of the red-haired Corpse Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such terrifying power is the strongest Gu Qingyang has encountered so far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, it seems the red-haired Corpse Demon won’t leave the Spiritual Forbidden Area easily, or perhaps it’s restrained by something, unable to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a piece of good news amid the bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This highlights why no force since the Desolate Ancient has managed to pacify the Ancient Wilderness’s Spiritual Forbidden Area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the terror of this place, even a Tier Nine Great Emperor entering would likely meet a bloody end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qingyang’s exploration with his Dharma Body only covered a portion of the Spiritual Forbidden Area, barely the tip of the iceberg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until the entire area is fully explored, no one knows what dangers still lurk within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qingyang thought of other places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancient Wilderness has a Spiritual Forbidden Area, and other regions have ancient Spiritual Forbidden Areas, some from the Ancient Times and others from the Desolate Ancient, or even earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qingyang suspects these areas harbor eerie beings equal to the red-haired Corpse Demon, seemingly immune to the ravages of time, attaining near immortality in some sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Until I have broken through to Tier Nine, I must never set foot in the Spiritual Forbidden Area again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is Gu Qingyang’s self-admonition.\u003C\u002Fp>",1132,"2026-06-03T14:34:23.000Z",1,"novelbin.me","fcfef5e3b87b71161cf47ebdf18219658c500ffae0add0d9a1ec1741232f5d94","global-catastrophe-i-begin-to-evolve-from-an-anc-chapter-203","global-catastrophe-i-begin-to-evolve-from-an-anc-chapter-201",543,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-catastrophe-i-begin-to-evolve-from-an-anc-cover.jpg"]
