Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

"Golden giant, Nine Abyss Heavenly Demon…"

Zuo Zuo, who was in Star Realm, felt his mouth start twitching when he sensed the auras from his own astral world.

‘How come these things that haven’t been sighted in hundreds of years all decided to appear at this critical juncture?!’

Even if they were awfully busy fighting each other and didn’t have time to rob Nirvana Heaven together, the collateral damage from their battle alone was enough to affect him.

His connection to his astral world was already weak to begin with. Now, it was even harder for him to receive any power from his astral world.

Zuo Zuo, who only had half of his body left, swept his gaze across the three women around him, his expression turning more and more grim.

Gu Nian, who used her unique law to resurrect Zuo Zuo at the cost of taking away the other half of his body, would naturally become his enemy and fight with him over control of the remaining half of his body, not to mention there was also Red and Ying Ge.

In short, everyone in this place was his enemy.

‘Then, let’s fight the decisive battle…’

……

In Nirvana Heaven, the Gu Nan who transformed into a Heavenly Demon neutralized Qian Han with a casual blow, instantly shattering all of Qian Han’s laws.

Gu Nan already discovered that the most powerful part of his deity mode—or rather, Heavenly Demon mode—lies not in the strength itself, but in its ability to naturally seal off space.

In the past, Wu Gui went through a great deal of effort in order to temporarily seal off Yue Jiu’s escape routes with her Buddha Kingdom.

But after Gu Nan used his Deity law, the law nullification attribute that came preinstalled in the deity’s aura was enough to completely solidify his surrounding space.

Because of this, Qian Han had no chance to escape at all, and Jin Wuyin could only run away with his legs.

"Can you really escape though?" Looking at the Jin Wuyin that almost disappeared from sight, Gu Nan merely smiled coldly. He took a step out and instantly appeared behind Jin Wuyin.

Jin Wuyin looked back in inconsolable horror, wondering why Gu Nan could still teleport. Since space itself was solidified, Gu Nan shouldn’t be able to use any spacial abilities either.

But he understood in the next instant—this wasn’t teleportation at all, just pure speed!

A more terrifying speed had yet to come. Without Jin Wuyin noticing in the slightest, Gu Nan's fist had landed on his face and instantly knocked him into the ground.

Gu Nan's Heavenly Demon body was also completely composed of laws. Not only did his fist contain a terrifying strength, but it also held countless laws of the nine abysses.

Corrosion, dissolution, erosion, disintegration… Many malicious yet efficient laws constantly emerged on Jin Wuyin’s face.

The mighty body of this golden giant seemed to turn into a law testing machine, testing the strength of all these laws.

Jin Wuyin was directly knocked down by this punch, and even his face showed signs of bone fractures. For a while, even getting up was hard for him, so punch after punch continuously hit their mark.

Gu Nan had already discovered that his Deity law underwent some changes after his advancement to Tier 5.

During Tier 4, the Deity law mainly reinforced his physical body, while the Tier 5 “Deity’s Descent” seemed to pay more attention to damage inflicted by the laws that were attached to the attack.

Gu Nan's experience was extremely rich, so he understood what was going on in the blink of an eye—his current Evil God physique had already reached the maximum possible limit before the First Round!

The First Round was a threshold. Before stepping past this threshold by advancing to Tier 6, there was an upper limit to his physical strength, and the deity’s power could only be reflected in laws.

But this also showed that the strength of Gu Nan's current physical body was already at the very peak of those in his same realm, not counting those Star Rulers who had their own astral worlds.

In the end, Jin Wuyin was still a golden giant. Even though he couldn’t fight back at all under Gu Nan's blows, he had no intention of giving up.

Taking advantage of a gap between Gu Nan's attacks, he finally managed to just barely block a punch, then immediately got up and fled.

Although his body was already covered with wounds, he still hadn’t given up hope yet—‘This guy caused such a big ruckus. Why hasn't the Star Ruler of this astral world appeared yet?!’

‘Hey! Your home is going to be smashed to pieces!’

Jin Wuyin frantically fled while cursing this place’s "incompetent Star Ruler" in his heart.

He, who lived outside the Myriad Heavens Universe all year round, truly didn’t know about the major events in the Myriad Heavens Universe.

……

Zuo Zuo, who was cursed as an "incompetent Star Ruler" by Jin Wuyin, was in much worse shape than Jin Wuyin.

With only half of his body left, even his strength was halved, and he couldn’t receive assistance from Nirvana Heaven. Right now, he was in imminent danger.

Fortunately, among his opponents, Gu Nian hadn’t finished familiarizing herself with her new body yet, Red was seriously injured by his sneak attack just now, and Ying Ge’s strength only recovered to Void Cutter Realm.

It was precisely such a trio of the old, the weak, and the crippled that left Zuo Zuo with a glimmer of hope of survival.

Zuo Zuo suddenly froze briefly under the three’s flurry of attacks. A dark shadow emerged in front of him, blocking the three’s attacks, while he tore open space and stepped into the void.

He didn't even care about taking back the other half of his body and turned to run away!

Gu Nian followed him into the crack in space without even thinking about it. Ying Ge frowned slightly, then gritted her teeth and also tried to follow them inside, but she was stopped by Red.

"Let him go." Red's face was extremely pale, but her voice was calm, "Let's destroy Nirvana Heaven instead. We can let those two fight to their hearts’ content."

Ying Ge’s eyes suddenly brightened as she understood Red’s meaning.

A body couldn’t be divided into two for a prolonged period of time. For Gu Nian and Zuo Zuo, only one of them could live. They were natural enemies. As long as Red and Ying Ge took control of Nirvana Heaven and prevented Zuo Zuo from receiving extra help from his astral world, neither side would win!

……

In Nirvana Heaven, Jin Wuyin’s body was already about to collapse. His escape only resulted in taking a few less hits; it was impossible for him to escape Gu Nan’s utterly terrifying speed.

This golden giants clan chief really could take a beating. Even though his whole body was enveloped by the power of laws and his breathing was getting weaker, he could still speak.

"Your Excellency, the golden clan has no enmity with you…" Before he could seemingly admit defeat or even surrender, Gu Nan's fist fell down again.

This punch seemed to trigger a qualitative change, tilting Jin Wuyin’s head and twisting his neck at an unnatural angle.

The next moment, endless darkness poured out from Gu Nan’s body and crazily swallowed Jin Wuyin up.

"You’re not going to leave him alive?" Wu Gui had already come to his side at some point.

"I'm going to visit the golden giants clan. It's enough to have one guide leading the way." Gu Nan pointed to Qian Han, who was still locked up over there.

Since he was interested in the golden clan, of course it was impossible for their patriarch to live. He didn’t need a leader with strong authority over the clan.

"Too bad. Zuo Zuo didn’t actually die." Gu Nan shook his head again.

If the Star Ruler wasn’t dead, then no one could take away his astral world, not unless Gu Nan found this world’s origin. But in the enormous Nirvana Heaven, this would be quite a huge undertaking.

Besides, if Zuo Zuo was defeated, many people would probably be interested in Nirvana Heaven.

Perhaps even now, people in the Myriad Heavens Starry Road were already fighting over this. If Gu Nan spent all that time and effort to search for the origin inside Nirvana Heaven, only to have someone snatch away the origin directly inside the Starry Road, then it would truly be wasted effort.

Gu Nan still maintained the body of a Heavenly Demon. After Tier 5, it seemed that even the transformation time was lengthened. He picked Qian Han up, planning to return to his Divine Kingdom.

"This person, can you give him to me?" A distant voice traveled over from the sky. Red and Ying Ge had arrived. "I can also provide the location of the golden giants clan."

Upon seeing Red arrive from a distance, despair filled Qian Han’s eyes.

Red’s voice was no different from back then, just like when Gu Nan first met her, but Gu Nan was no longer the same.

"Why?" Gu Nan placed Qian Han down next to him and asked.

Red said calmly, "He betrayed me and knows some of my secrets. I won't let him live."

Gu Nan scratched his head and stared at her like he was looking at a fool. "Since he’s so valuable, you want to take him away with just a sentence?"
