Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God
chapter-343

The current White Bones Realm was already filled with battle cries.

Not only this urban area White Mist was in, but all the major cities in White Bones Realm suffered an all out attack from the alliance of seven major astral worlds.

These seven astral worlds were all enemies of White Bones Realm. Some, such as Mountain River World, were feuds formed back when White Bones Realm ascended to a Realm Level plane, while others were enemies that Daoist White Bones provoked due to his tyrannical attitude.

Fang Hou stood before the gates of White Mist’s headquarters, coldly watching his subordinates surround the place as a sneer appeared on his face.

He was the one who shouted that threat just now. He was one of the top Void Cutters in Mountain River World and also the right-hand man of the Star Ruler of Mountain River World, Rending Mountain Venerable.

Speaking of whom, Rending Mountain Venerable was a very good friend of Lou Wanying’s despite their large age gap and had noticed Gu Nan as early as when Gu Nan seized the sand of time from Lou Wanying.

The Star Ruler Realm strength that Gu Nan displayed might deter others, but Rending Mountain Venerable didn’t take it seriously at all.

He himself was a Star Ruler with a powerful astral world. Back when he was at the peak of his strength, his astral world was only a step away from advancing to a Realm Level plane, and he was strong enough to fight Daoist White Bones head-on.

Even if the power of his astral world was now weakened, it still wasn’t something a newly-advanced Star Ruler could compare to.

But Gu Nan hid inside White Bones Realm all this time after stealing the sand of time. It was impossible for Rending Mountain Venerable to run to Daoist White Bones’ territory to kidnap someone, so at most, he could only order his people to secretly engage in petty acts of vengeance.

This continued all the way until seven large planes simultaneously besieged White Bones Realm. He decided to deal with Gu Nan in passing during this attack.

Fang Hou coldly watched his people wantonly pour into the manor. Although he looked calm and collected on the surface, he’d already made preparations in secret.

He would immediately notify Rending Mountain Venerable as soon as Gu Nan showed up.

Silver light flashed inside the distant manor, causing Fang Hou's eyes to light up. He was just about to send the message when he saw the space above his head opening up and the body of a giant silver dragon flying out.

Fang Hou immediately froze. He was also quite knowledgeable, so how could he not recognize this Dragon of Space?

This dragon was bound to be on Lu Wen’s shoulder whenever the ruler of Clockwork Heaven showed himself; this had long been common knowledge.

"Hm?" The silver dragon landed here, saw the situation in the manor, and actually grunted in dissatisfaction, causing Fang Hou's heart to tremble slightly.

‘If I get involved with this dragon…’

At this time, Fang Hou suddenly sensed his surroundings turn quiet. A golden light and Buddhist mantras then arrived simultaneously. Countless Buddhas had already emerged around him, all chanting from scriptures while the beat of wooden bells overlapped, layer upon layer.

Fang Hou only felt a splitting headache when the Buddhist mantras entered his ears, finding it difficult to put together even the slightest thought.

The next moment, he seemed to see the world turn itself upside down, and his own head also crashed down towards the ground.

The strong sense of weightlessness finally brought Fang Hou back to his senses. When he finally had a clear view of his situation, he couldn't help blurting out, "Palm-Sized Buddha Kingdom!"

Wu Gui’s figure seemed like a giant. Fang Hou was currently inside the Buddha Kingdom in the palm of her hand, while Wu Gui was planning to flip the Buddha Kingdom upside down and smash it into the ground!

‘How can there be… this kind of Buddha?!’

Fang Hou’s entire person had already been smashed to a pulp before he could even finish his final thought. When facing the current Wu Gui, this Void Cutter who was quite strong didn't even have a chance to escape.

Fang Hou finally managed to send the message out, but not in the way he wished. Rather, his death immediately alerted Rending Mountain Venerable.

The next second, the hearts of everyone present sank in unison as a pressure as heavy as a mountain suddenly fell on everyone.

A yellow-robed figure appeared in the sky above White Mist. It was a middle-aged man with an unwavering expression. His face was angular, as if carved by a knife.

He was none other than the Star Ruler of Mountain River World, Rending Mountain Venerable.

"Buddha of Ten Thousand Samsara." Rending Mountain Venerable's gaze was icy as he shot Wu Gui a glare and threatened in a deep voice, "You dared to touch my subordinate. Aren’t you afraid this one will send you back into the cycle of reincarnation so you can experience it ten thousand more times?"

How could Wu Gui take this sort of provocation to heart? She just revealed a cold smile, not in a hurry to make the first move.

Rending Mountain Venerable’s gaze moved away from her but didn’t even spare Long Ling'er a glance, as if she didn’t exist at all.

"Where is Gu Nan? Have him come out." Yi Shanzun waved his sleeve and commanded coldly, "This one is short on time because I still have important business to attend to. Tell him to hand over the treasure he robbed from Brother Lou, and this one will let him g—"

He didn’t even finish before suddenly sensing a burst of killing intent behind him. He swallowed back the rest of his sentence and threw a punch behind him without any hesitation.

Rending Mountain Venerable’s punch contained immense strength, like a large mountain crashing down upon the enemy. It carried an astonishing momentum.

However, his sure-hit punch actually missed its mark: the enemy didn’t actually appear from behind him, but from an incredible angle—his shadow!

Dressed in a silver robe, Gu Nan stood up from the opponent’s shadow, holding a pitch-black dagger in his hand that he thrust straight at Rending Mountain Venerable's heart.

"Mountain!" A soft shout echoed in Gu Nan's ears.

Gu Nan suddenly felt as though an enormous mountain was pressing down on his head, and his body suddenly became heavier.

But the dagger… still hit its mark!

Gu Nan seemed to be completely unaffected by the pressure. The dagger was still quickly stabbed into Rending Mountain Venerable’s heart with ruthless precision.

After landing a hit on the first try, Gu Nan immediately jumped away without the slightest hesitation, while the sound of fracturing bones began to come from his head. The terrifying pressure was already about to crush his skull.

Crack.

A piece of Gu Nan's forehead suddenly sunk inward as blood gushed out nonstop, looking incomparably gruesome.

But Gu Nan seemed unable to feel it at all and just stared at Rending Mountain Venerable in amusement. "You know you have an urgent matter at hand, yet you still dared to provoke me? You’d better consider how you’re going to get away first."

The entire operation where seven planes attacked White Bones Realm seemed hasty and unorganized. It was clearly a spur-of-the-moment decision. Gu Nan didn’t believe that Rending Mountain Venerable could afford to waste much time here.

On the other side, Wu Gui also sneered. "Daoist White Bones’ injury is not as serious as you all think."

Daoist White Bones was injured precisely during the earlier fight over Nirvana Heaven’s origin. As someone who experienced that fight firsthand, Wu Gui naturally knew more about this than anyone else.

Rending Mountain Venerable fell silent for a while, but he finally stopped hesitating after he saw Gu Nan mobilize his laws to offset most of the crushing pressure, causing his wounds to heal rapidly.

He opened a passage in space with a wave of his hand and announced in a cold voice, "I’ll deal with you after I kill that scumbag, White Bones."

However, before Rending Mountain Venerable could step into the spatial channel, he felt the silver figure before his eyes flicker.

The jet black dagger suddenly stabbed out towards him, but Rending Mountain Venerable was prepared this time. A cold smile appeared on his face.

An inexplicable throbbing emerged from the space between the two as the fearsome power of a law’s origin swept across the space. It was as if a mountain was placed in front of Rending Mountain Venerable, and he was trying to shatter it.

Shatter Mountains and Rivers!

But this power had yet to truly land when another inexplicably oppressive aura emerged. Along with it, black light appeared out of thin air.

The power of mountains and rivers entering the black light was like a pebble sinking into the sea, not even causing a ripple.

By the time Rending Mountain Venerable looked again, Gu Nan's figure was long gone. Only the wreckage of a destroyed spatial passage remained.
