Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Chapter 394: World-Renowned With One Battle



Duan Wenqi and Lu Wen sat across from each other in Zi Luo Heaven, watching the events unfolding in White Bones Realm.

There was nothing strange about this. Around 80% of the powerful figures in the Myriad Heavens were probably all watching White Bones Realm right now.

“Don’t tell me he’ll really be able to find a solution just by killing like this?!" Duan Wenqi exclaimed incredulously.

Lu Wen just chuckled without responding.

Long Ling'er still maintained her giant dragon form and stood on Lu Wen's shoulder. Her neck was slightly lowered, and there was some grievance on her face—this room wasn’t high enough.

Duan Wenqi wasn’t in the mood to pay attention to Long Ling'er's emotions. He slapped the table and continued, “Not even dozens of Star Rulers can suppress this Gu Nan. Looks like there's no need for us to protect him."

“Really now, you still can't let go of that anger in your heart." Lu Wen couldn't help laughing as he pointed at Duan Wenqi.

Of course Duan Wenqi couldn't let it go. He didn’t have a superior-subordinate relationship with Lu Wen, and he’d always thought of them as equals in his heart. Because of this, he was extraordinarily angry with Gu Nan.

Because he also put a lot of effort in this entire matter.

If he was simply helping Lu Wen, then while it was unfortunate, there was also no need to dwell on bygone matters for so long.

After a pause, Lu Wen continued, "Gu Nan's trump cards have already been exposed—the law of shadows and an extremely strong physique. Such a combination is indeed very difficult to handle."

The extreme escape ability granted by the law of shadows coupled with the pure use of physical force against the enemy allowed Gu Nan to challenge opponents of a higher level.

Of course Duan Wenqi also understood this, so he also sighed in relief at this time. “To force out his trump cards—this trip wasn't a waste after all."

……

In White Bones Realm, after yet another Star Ruler was targeted by Gu Nan, and after Gu Nan rushed into the crowd in the blink of an eye, the Star Rulers scattered in all directions instead.

Now everyone knew that they couldn’t threaten Gu Nan by joining forces, and Gu Nan had the ability to pick off the weaker members of their group.

Instead of staying in the same place and risking friendly fire, they might as well disperse in advance and leave enough room for those capable of dealing with Gu Nan.

Gu Nan merely had strange abilities, but he wasn’t invincible. The Star Rulers present all saw through this.

Wu Tian was the first to strike. In a single step, he arrived right in front of Gu Nan, blocking his path—since space wasn’t currently sealed by countless laws, the space-shrinking technique could naturally also be used.

But Gu Nan didn’t even spare him a glance. His body suddenly disappeared, having turned into shadows again.

When he reappeared, he was already behind the target Star Ruler, stabbing a shadow dagger straight into the enemy’s heart.

This Star Ruler was an average-looking young man. He was caught off guard and could only barely respond.

This youth wasn’t a martial artist to begin with and only used Tier 5 defensive laws, so how could he be Gu Nan’s match?

Even if Gu Nan didn’t use the Evil God physique’s full strength in this attack, the Tier 6 shadow dagger was still enough to deal with him.

The dagger pierced through the youth's defensive laws like thin paper, then sank into his abdomen.

Behind them, Daoist Monarch Wu Tian’s face turned bright red, enraged at Gu Nan's reckless abandon and also at his own two failed attack attempts.

But the law of shadows really was too slippery, making him both hard to catch and hard to hit. Plus, it was also extremely lethal in Gu Nan's hands, giving people incomparable headaches.

Seeing Gu Nan injure yet another Star Ruler, Wu Tian's thoughts churned rapidly, his gaze finally falling to the White Mist building below them.

His eyes immediately lit up, as if he’d caught Gu Nan's weakness, and he shouted, "Gu Nan, if you don’t surrender right now, this one will start sacrificing your people!"

As soon as he said this, there was indeed a pause in Gu Nan’s movements, and then he slowly turned his head.

Only the look on Gu Nan's face wasn’t the annoyance of being caught in a painful situation as he expected, but a sneer of disdain.

Gu Nan suddenly announced to his surroundings, “Everyone, come find me in Daoist Sect Realm if you want the inheritance."

After saying that, Gu Nan ignored the Star Rulers around him, opening a portal and stepping inside.

There was no need to even think. Everyone knew which plane was at the other end of this passage.

Daoist Monarch Wu Tian couldn’t hide the stupefied look on his face, but he didn’t have time to think further and hurriedly followed Gu Nan back to his own astral world.

……

"He ran to Daoist Sect Realm."

In Void Grotto Heaven, Xue Ren said as he gently wiped a longsword placed flat in front of him.

Yu Lian stood next to him with some curiosity on her face. “At his current realm, he actually dares to fight Wu Tian inside Daoist Sect Realm?"

Since they shared the same roots, Yu Lian understood her martial uncle’s cultivation realm better than most and knew that Wu Tian’s strength was absolutely genuine.

From leaving Void Grotto Heaven after his advancement to Star Ruler and ascending his own astral world to a Realm Level plane, there had been absolutely no luck involved in any of that.

"How can that be?" Xue Ren, however, laughed involuntarily. “In my view, Gu Nan is doing this precisely because he doesn’t want to fight Wu Tian."

……

In Daoist Sect Realm, Daoist Monarch Wu Tian stood above the void, overlooking the expanses of ruins below, his face so dark it could be mistaken for a storm cloud.

In just a few short moments, his Daoist Sect Realm was already wrecked by Gu Nan, and three important strongholds in a row were destroyed by two shadow swords.

Yet Wu Tian, as this world’s Star Ruler, couldn’t even catch the other party’s shadow!

The Star Rulers staying in their own astral worlds were also watching this scene and chatting from the sidelines.

“It’s Wu Tian’s loss this time."

"This Gu Nan is too slippery. The law of shadows is secretive and unpredictable. We simply can’t catch him."

"Actually, the most important thing is that we can't find Gu Nan's astral world, right?"

This sentence immediately silenced all the Star Rulers.

At this point, no one had any doubt that Gu Nan was a Star Ruler who already possessed an astral world. But the fact that no one could find his astral world’s location was the most awkward factor.

Not being able to find his astral world meant that he could act with impunity, and he also just happened to have the ability to act with impunity!

He ran to Daoist Sect Realm to wreak havoc, yet Wu Tian couldn’t even catch him—this was his greatest ability.

The group of spectators put themselves in Wu Tian's shoes and asked themselves if they could do anything against such a Gu Nan?

The answer made everyone fall silent.

"Gu Nan!" Daoist Monarch Wu Tian couldn’t help speaking up after yet another failed chase, biting Gu Nan’s dust once again.

Although he couldn't see Gu Nan's figure, he knew the other party could hear him.

Wu Tian could only take a deep breath. "Daoist Friend Gu, this humble Daoist was possessed by greed and attempted to take your inheritance. When this matter is over, this humble Daoist will make amends to you, how about it?"

No one expected for Wu Tian, the Daoist Monarch who valued face the most, to admit defeat so readily.

"Okay."

After a long time, Gu Nan's voice came directly from the horizon, but his figure couldn’t be seen.

Daoist Monarch Wu Tian, who received Gu Nan's reply, finally let out a sigh of relief tinged with helplessness.

In the Myriad Heavens, countless people also sighed at the same time.

Everyone knew that as long as they couldn’t find the coordinates of Gu Nan's astral world, there would be one more demon king in this world.

And on the next day, countless powerhouses’ remarks on this matter gradually spread.

“Except for Heaven Level planes, there’s nowhere he can't go." This was Weapon Martial Heaven’s Star Ruler.

“Even more of a troublemaker than Lou Wanying.” This was Lu Wen.

"Whoever ends up finding his astral world, remember to let me know first." This was Void Grotto Heaven’s Yu Lian.

……

Countless discussions and rumors rose in all directions until deep in Zi Luo Heaven, an old man who’d been slumbering for eons suddenly spoke.

"Haha, world-renowned with one battle."

The Myriad Heavens Universe’s evaluation of Gu Nan was thus determined.
