Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God
chapter-567

Boswell never dreamed that Gu Nan would choose "mutual destruction" this way.

The death energy was directly detonated inside Gu Nan's body. Although Gu Nan bore the brunt of the attack, once he was right next to the Ruler of Ashen Cyan, the latter naturally couldn’t escape either.

Almost as soon as the death energy exploded, Boswell felt a terrifying shockwave hit him, and the power of laws also burst out instantly.

With Baal’s abilities, this attack naturally dealt damage to the opponent’s laws. His original intention was to kill Gu Nan with this, or at least destroy his body and laws so that he could no longer participate in this battle.

However, now that Boswell also became an attack target, he was similarly unable to withstand this horrifying blow. The laws in his body collapsed almost instantaneously, and his divine body also crumbled.

It wasn't that the Ruler of Ashen Cyan was too fragile. Rather, Gu Nan’s body had simply accumulated too much death energy.

It could be said that ever since Baal became a greater god, no one had ever been able to withstand so many of his attacks and accumulate so much death energy in their body.

A normal person—even a greater god—would have been sliced to pieces long ago if they were hit by the death scythe so many times.

But it was precisely because the enemy was Gu Nan that Baal was able to accumulate such a frightening amount of death energy, making it all but impossible for even Boswell to defend against the subsequent explosion.

Baal realized that he’d been used by Gu Nan, but his combat instincts were also quite sharp. He quickly suppressed all his emotions and rushed towards the center of the death energy.

He didn't believe that Gu Nan would voluntarily commit suicide. He definitely had other motives for doing this.

However, Baal discovered that things were not that simple when he arrived at the explosion’s center.

Like Boswell, Gu Nan's whole body was blown to bits by the death energy, but scattered pieces of his flesh and blood were not completely corroded by the death energy and were quickly fusing together.

After reaching Tier 13, the power of the Evil God physique had exceeded an ordinary person’s understanding. Just a drop of blood was enough to bring Gu Nan back to life.

Baal narrowed his eyes slightly, quickly controlling the surrounding death energy and using all his power to corrode Gu Nan's flesh and blood.

Unfortunately, Gu Nan was far more tenacious than he imagined. The scattered bits of flesh and blood rapidly grew from all the tiny corners, not giving Baal time to attack.

This was unlike the two previous times where Gu Nan was besieged. Firstly, he was already at Tier 13 now, and secondly, there was no Daisy this time, which meant no top-tier law of darkness to suppress his regeneration.

In just a few seconds, Gu Nan's body continued to recover everywhere.

To his left, Baal saw a Gu Nan with half of his head formed, and to his right was an arm rapidly growing out. Every scattered body part was as strong as Gu Nan’s normal body, making Baal not know which part to kill first.

Just a moment later, a complete Gu Nan reappeared, and the law of shadows was gathered again.

Gu Nan even gave Baal a nod and flashed him a friendly smile. If not for Baal’s help, he wouldn't have been able to deal with the Ruler of Ashen Cyan so easily.

The next second, Gu Nan's figure vanished again. The law of shadows expanded outwards once more, and the entire Nature Divine Kingdom fell into Gu Nan's control.

Baal tried to resist the shadows with death energy, but what greeted him was Gu Nan's punch.

……

A moment later, when Boswell finally managed to reconstruct his divine body after much difficulty and dragged his battered laws to the Nature Divine Kingdom, all he could see was Baal standing there, his face ashen pale.

The Ruler of Ashen Cyan sighed in his heart, knowing that despite their best efforts, they ultimately failed to stop the Evil God.

"Daphne…"

"Dead,” Baal answered darkly. To watch helplessly as a greater god died right in front of his eyes—this was the first time Baal ever experienced such a powerless feeling where all his strength and laws were useless.

He’d never met an opponent like Gu Nan, who seemed extremely familiar with every single one of his moves and completely saw through all his tactics.

This was a very unbelievable thing. There were countless ways for greater gods to utilize their laws, many of which weren’t even clear to the greater gods themselves and were even improvised in the middle of the battle based on the situation.

But his opponent could predict even these methods in advance, which could no longer be explained by experience.

Baal even wondered whether this Evil God had the ability to see a few minutes into the future, to be able to accomplish such outrageous feats.

But regardless, Daphne still died at Gu Nan’s hands, and now, there were only three greater gods left in the Light Faction. Besides Austin and Boswell, there was only Ruler of War Eugene.

Gu Nan had already run far away. Three greater gods—Valen, Rolensia, and Daphne—already died at his hands, and his Evil Value shot up even further.

Originally, after he killed two Tier 11 greater gods, he actually had a surplus of Evil Value that slightly exceeded the requirement for Tier 13.

Now that a Tier 12 Daphne was added, the Evil Value she gave was slightly higher than that of Valen and Rolensia combined. However, there was still a long way to go until Tier 14.

"I still need a lot more…" Gu Nan looked at the increase in Evil Value and saw that the gap was still quite big.

More importantly, the Evil Value greater gods could provide was a number that fluctuates with level, and the fluctuations may be very large, making it hard to get an accurate estimate.

Even if he calculated based on the maximum possible Evil Value each greater god could provide, he would still have to eliminate at least all five of the Dark Faction’s remaining greater gods before he could have any hope of reaching Tier 14.

After coming to this conclusion, Gu Nan could only shake his head slightly and pick up the pace as he headed for the next Divine Kingdom.

That was the Divine Kingdom of the Beast God Bridges.

……

In the gap between the two worlds, Jiu Po couldn’t help chuckling when he saw Austin suddenly pause. "Looks like it has already begun."

Gu Nan had the ability to hunt greater gods alone, and he was extremely efficient, leaving almost no room for the target to escape. That was his greatest strength.

Moreover, his super regeneration and law of shadows made it exceedingly difficult for anyone to stop Gu Nan. When he wanted to attack someone weaker than him, nobody could protect the latter.

Of course Austin knew that Gu Nan had already killed Daphne and was heading to the Beast God’s Divine Kingdom, while Boswell had suffered heavy injuries because of Gu Nan's trap.

"Tell Boswell and Baal to come back," Austin told Daisy abruptly. While saying that, he suddenly raised the golden scales and sent it to another battlefield.

The golden scale’s target was Yu Lian, who was already struggling to fight the Dark Lady to begin with. Daisy's expression stiffened slightly, but her response wasn’t slow at all, and the all-consuming darkness instantly enveloped Yu Lian.

Austin's timing was very crafty. Yu Lian, who had to deal with Daisy's suppression, was already mentally and physically exhausted. Now, she was suddenly caught off guard.

The golden scales stopped right on top of Yu Lian’s head. This time, the scale was not used to limit Yu Lian’s power, Instead, it took a portion of the darkness.

At the other end of the scale, a ball of holy light was already flickering.

The joint attack of Austin and Daisy, the unity of light and darkness—this almost impossible and inconceivable combination was forcibly achieved by Austin’s "justice".

The scale fell down, and everything was wiped out.
