Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God
chapter-578

The Dark Lady was a Tier 14 greater god.

In the World of Gods, Austin was the only Tier 15 powerhouse and an existence referred to as the "King of Gods", while Dark Lady Daisy was the only one with the power to oppose him.

The fearless embodiment of darkness.

Gu Nan stood at the border of the World of Gods and did not go any further—because the space before him was already filled with darkness.

Countless tendrils of darkness crawled towards him from all angles, as if trying to make Gu Nan fall into an eternal abyss.

That was the deepest black. Any matter or law that came into contact with the pitch-black darkness would be directly devoured, leaving no trace behind.

Gu Nan stood still as the shadows under his feet spread out, quickly mixing with the approaching darkness, twisting and intertwining indistinguishably.

But a more careful inspection would find that the two laws were actually devouring each other. On the surface, they were indistinguishable from each other, but on the inside, they were entirely distinct existences.

Both laws possessed the characteristic of “devouring”, but the power displayed by the law of darkness was purer than that of Gu Nan's law of shadows.

For laws at the greater god level, the law’s characteristic was often more important than its level.

Gu Nan and Daisy were now at the same level, and there wasn’t much difference in the level of their laws. Even their control over their laws was almost the same.

The outcome of their battle soon became apparent—it was a draw.

For people at their realm, an instant of contact was enough for them to judge the outcome.

Daisy was a little surprised by this result because it meant that purely in terms of mastery over one’s laws, Gu Nan might have already surpassed Yu Lian.

But she wasn’t worried. The current her was not fighting alone. Once she fell into a disadvantage, the other three would take action immediately.

Gu Nan used shadows to fight darkness, and after confirming his degree of control over his laws, he had no intention of wasting time with Daisy anymore.

He came here to completely steamroll the whole world with his own strength this time. What was steamrolling? No matter the opponent, he would crush all without fail. That was steamrolling.

Gu Nan took a step forward, and under the pressure of an incomprehensibly strong physical body, the darkness originally entangled with the shadows instantly shattered.

Just like this, Gu Nan walked out of the darkness step by step. Even the laws personally controlled by Daisy could not hinder him.

Gu Nan waved his hand to shatter the darkness, then slowly walked into a spatial passage. On the other side was a Divine Kingdom, which was Baal’s Kingdom of Death.

The God of Death’s Divine Kingdom was a very special place. The inhabitants here were not the undead, but the souls of living people who died.

In many of the main planes, people did not know about the Death God’s Divine Kingdom. Instead, they called it the "Soul Realm", which was somewhat similar to Demon King Stanley's Demon Realm.

And when Gu Nan set foot here, the law of shadows immediately expanded in all directions, instantly wiping out a large number of souls.

Death God Baal appeared immediately and glared at Gu Nan coldly. The Death God's scythe suddenly slashed down, but Gu Nan didn't even try to dodge.

Baal had fought against Gu Nan many times, and he was even familiar with Gu Nan's fighting methods now.

So at this time, he wasn’t surprised at all and continuously slashed Gu Nan with his scythe, quickly accumulating death energy in Gu Nan's body that he then detonated with a bang.

In the earlier fight between the two, Gu Nan had used the explosion of death energy to kill Boswell once while he himself ended up being perfectly intact.

So Baal was all too aware that at least that level of death energy was meaningless to Gu Nan.

But this time, the death energy that erupted was three times that of last time!

However, the three-times larger death energy explosion did not bring about the results Baal wanted—because Gu Nan's physical body was already far stronger than last time.

The explosion of death energy made a muffled sound and didn’t even manage to blow Gu Nan to pieces. It only made a hole in his stomach that healed up in the blink of an eye.

A cold smile appeared on Gu Nan's face. His laws were still raging, while he had already thrown a punch at Baal’s face.

But Baal was already on guard, and this was his home turf. Life and death were exchanged in an instant; what Gu Nan hit was merely a corpse.

Austin and Daisy soon arrived and took action without any hesitation. Austin attacked Gu Nan himself, while Daisy worked to stop the expansion of the law of shadows.

Gu Nan had no intention of running away and simply swung a punch at Austin, his laws not retreating in the slightest. He actually wanted to fight three top-tier greater gods at the same time!

……

The Myriad Heavens.

Gu Nan disappeared for a while and then reappeared, immediately attracting the attention of all Unified Dao figures. What attracted even more attention was his action.

"Is he crazy? Even if he wants to deal with the greater gods, it doesn’t mean he has to face them head-on, right?" Li Ci didn't understand Gu Nan's behavior.

"This isn’t like him… He must have another goal,” Azure Sky Heaven’s Mu Qishuang also added.

She witnessed Gu Nan’s entire scheme to kill Rolensia. In her eyes, Gu Nan was undoubtedly a person who was particularly good at scheming and plotting.

But Zi Luo Elder just said with a chuckle, "No matter what he’s thinking, killing the greater gods is the top priority right now."

"I'll go." Jiu Po stood up calmly. "Boswell didn't join the fight yet. Yu Lian, you stay behind to provide support."

Yu Lian, who was sitting in the head seat, nodded slightly. Her face was a little pale, and it was obvious that her earlier injuries were quite serious, even to the point of being difficult to conceal.

"I'll go too," Another person piped up he stood up. It was Lu Wen.

……

Inside the Death God’s Divine Kingdom, the fight between Gu Nan, Baal, and Austin had entered the climax.

One had to admit that the combined power of two of the most powerful greater gods was quite impressive. Even the Tier 14 Gu Nan could only get the upper hand and couldn’t kill them.

But that didn’t matter. The gods’ strength lies in their Divine Kingdom, but their weakness also lies in their Divine Kingdom. Gu Nan was perfectly aware of this.

Since the battle took place inside the Death God's Divine Kingdom, Austin couldn’t actually use all his strength. The method that injured Yu Lian before couldn’t possibly be used here.

But Gu Nan didn't have such scruples. He could repeatedly change the battlefield by switching locations inside the Divine Kingdom. The collateral damage from the battle alone would cause immense destruction to the Divine Kingdom.

To make matters worse, Jiu Po arrived.

This Star Ruler of Jiu Po Heaven was also an expert at looting houses and exterminating families. He didn't even glance at Gu Nan and directly started to slaughter souls inside the Death God’s Divine Kingdom using his laws.

The flow of the ley lines instantly reversed, and powers of the earth raged. Daisy could not handle Jiu Po and Gu Nan joining hands.

"Kill Jiu Po," Austin ordered immediately, realizing that the situation would only become more and more unfavorable if this continued.

They were unable to cause any effective damage to Gu Nan, so they could only try to critically injure Jiu Po first.

However, Baal shook his head. "Even without Jiu Po, we still have no way to deal with the Evil God… There is only one method now."

Austin turned around and saw the ruthlessness and decisiveness in Baal’s eyes. This God of Death had never lacked courage.

"Alright." Austin nodded, and a golden scale began to emerge in the sky.
