Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Gu Nan was always true to his word.

Because of Fang Chaoyun's interference, it was too late to cause more damage to Cao Yu's Origin Martial Realm, but Gu Nan could always find the next "victim".

In Black Dragon World, the Star Ruler’s true form was a large black dragon, but normally he preferred to take on human form, and he especially liked to wear a black dragon robe.

When Gu Nan arrived, this black dragon emperor was sitting majestically on his throne, looking down on the humans and dragons under his command.

A white-haired old man standing below bowed. "Your Majesty, this year…"

The sky suddenly lit up with a black light, and a terrifying pressure descended from the sky, directly smashing onto the entire palace.

The old man in front of the black dragon—along with all the officials below him—were all completely annihilated by this strike, and the palace toppled over.

"Who?!"

The black dragon instantly transformed back to his original form, his angry roar reaching the horizon and almost piercing through the clouds.

However, a fist came from the void and mercilessly smashed into his head. This black dragon, who’d always been known for his strong physique, felt his skin split open as his flesh was torn apart.

The black dragon whose head was smashed open immediately released a series of miserable roars before he realized who the visitor was.

"Your Excellency Gu Nan… please stop!" The black dragon shouted loudly, his figure rapidly shrinking to reduce the surface area where he could be hit.

Of course Gu Nan ignored him. Even in his own astral world, this kind of Star Ruler who merely had a World Level plane couldn’t possibly be Gu Nan's match.

After a few more consecutive punches landed, the black dragon’s human form was already frantically coughing up blood. If it wasn't for his strong physique as one of the dragon race, he probably would’ve perished under these punches.

Fang Chaoyun finally arrived belatedly, but Gu Nan had no plans of engaging him and ran away again without another word, not even sparing a second glance at the already dying black dragon.

Cao Yu also sneakily followed over. He was an old friend of the black dragon, so he hurriedly ran up to his injured friend.

Gu Nan couldn’t help feeling amused when he saw Cao Yu show up. ''You still have the leisure to worry about others? Looks like I haven’t wrecked Origin Martial Realm enough."

After saying that, he suddenly changed direction and instantly returned to Origin Martial Realm.

"No… Don’t!" Classmate Cao Yu's face almost turned green. He really wanted to give himself a hard slap right now— ‘Why did you have to stick your nose in something that wasn’t your business?’

But Gu Nan had always been true to his word, and even if Fang Chaoyun followed him back, he still tanked Fang Chaoyun's attacks and forcibly smashed Origin Martial Realm to pieces before leaving leisurely.

Thus, in just a few short hours, Gu Nan had visited all of the ten or so Star Rulers who blocked his invasion of Star Realm and killed a large number of his divine servants.

Among them, more troublesome enemies like Origin Martial Realm's Cao Yu even had the pleasure of enjoying repeat visits, causing corpses to be strewn everywhere and rivers of blood to flow in his astral world.

And through all this, Fang Chaoyun, who was a Tier 10 Star Ruler, could only chase after Gu Nan’s dust, unable to pose any threat to him at all.

Having already broken through to Tier 8, Gu Nan’s speed reached an unrivaled level, and the power of laws was completely unable to restrict him.

It wasn't as if Fang Chaoyun hadn't thought of an ambush. He calculated Gu Nan's route several times and set up the suppressing formation in advance, waiting for Gu Nan to come right to his door.

However, his ambush couldn’t confine Gu Nan at all. The 99 "suppress" characters that Mr. Fang wrote down with all his heart and soul only stopped Gu Nan for an instant before he easily broke through with his Evil God physique.

Later, Fang Chaoyun attempted to pursue Gu Nan relentlessly, not giving him a chance to catch his breath at all. He was trying to launch a barrage of attacks without giving Gu Nan time to recover.

Unfortunately, just as he was about to succeed, Gu Nan turned around and returned to his Divine Kingdom, then ran back with great vigor an hour later.

As for Mr. Fang, he could only glare from outside the Divine Kingdom with bloodshot eyes—he had already suffered a loss in Gu Nan's Divine Kingdom once. He didn't dare enter again.

All in all, the ruckus Gu Nan personally caused was an eye-opener for the entire Myriad Heavens, which normally wasn’t able to see so many Star Rulers fighting at once.

But what even more people saw was the terrifying destructive power of Gu Nan, this Demon King.

Over ten astral worlds had been vandalized and looted, and some of the Star Rulers themselves were even missing—not daring to remain in their astral worlds waiting for death—while Gu Nan himself was completely uninjured.

The Tier 10 Star Ruler Fang Chaoyun, on the other hand, had become a complete backdrop, and his frantic pursuit only contributed to Gu Nan's great fame—even such a powerful Star Ruler couldn’t do anything about Gu Nan.

Zi Luo Elder’s presence deterred Song Fei from making the first move in this ten-year timeframe. Thus, no one under Unified Dao Realm could stop Gu Nan anymore.

Interestingly enough, the ruckus Gu Nan created counteracted some of the effects of Fang Chaoyun's membership application.

While everyone now understood the Heaven-God Alliance’s stance thanks to Song Fei, it still managed to attract a group of Star Rulers because of Gu Nan's undefeated reputation.

These people might not necessarily be as loyal to the Heaven-God Alliance, but as long as the Heaven-God Alliance didn’t show any signs of decline, they were happy to become cornerstones of the organization.

Illusory prosperity was still prosperity, and as long as the core wasn’t damaged, even illusions could be turned into truth.

……

The battle against ten Star Rulers caused Gu Nan's reputation to resound throughout the Myriad Heavens once again, and some even began to claim he was the strongest person under Unified Dao Realm.

Gu Nan was only a Realm Level Star Ruler at this time, but he was able to directly fight with such a powerful Star Ruler like Fang Chaoyun, and he even dared to run into Graceful Heaven to cause trouble, while Fang Chaoyun, on the other hand, didn't even dare step foot into Gu Nan’s Divine Kingdom.

Comparing the two, wasn't it enough to show who was stronger? With such a comparison, more and more people began to participate in the discussion of Gu Nan's strength.

In today's Myriad Heavens, there were only a few people at the same level as Fang Chaoyun and Xue Ren.

There was no need to discuss Red Candle Heaven’s Green Lantern Fairy, the most recent junior to ascend her astral world to Heaven Level. Her strength was recognized as the weakest and couldn’t even compare to Fang Chaoyun.

Xue Ren himself certainly wouldn’t become Gu Nan’s enemy, and because of the characteristics of his own laws, the Cult Master of Three Corpses Heaven’s Holy Luo Cult was naturally at a disadvantage against a cultivator with a strong physical body like Gu Nan, so he was also considered slightly weaker than Gu Nan.

The only other person who might be a match for Gu Nan was Severing Dao Heaven’s Wang Li, who briefly sparred with Xue Ren back when Xue Ren was holding a fake Unified Dao ceremony.

The two had exchanged sword and blade in that battle, fighting a battle onlookers couldn't even understand, so much so that they couldn’t even estimate those two’s realms, so people could only evaluate Wang Li as "profound and unfathomable".

But precisely because of this, regarding the question of whether Wang Li or Gu Nan was stronger… More accurately, regarding whether Gu Nan could escape from Wang Li’s hands, this question set off countless disputes.

Gu Nan was entirely noncommittal on this. Furthermore, he didn’t even allow any Star Ruler to step foot into his "No Name Change til Unified Dao" Realm, slaughtering any who dared to enter.

In the end, only a personal statement from Wang Li himself managed to put an end to the fervent public debate.

"I can't capture him in a head-on fight."

When this comment appeared, the claim that Gu Nan was invincible against everyone under Unified Dao finally became widespread.
