Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Chapter 508: Blood Sacrifice

A catastrophe had befallen Graceful Heaven.

Almost all its academies were attacked. Powerful enemies appeared out of nowhere and instantly captured all the major academies while even more powerful people descended from all sides, quickly invading Graceful Heaven and spreading out to set up large formations in various places.

The moment an enemy entered Graceful Academy, Lin Ling, who was invited by Fang Chaoyun to guard his astral world, rushed to the scene immediately.

He sent a horizontal slash with his sword, and the terrifying sword energy blocked all the enemies outside the academy. However, he had no intention of continuing and just stared at the sky gravely.

"Martial Uncle Lin, many villains have entered. Please take action!"

"Martial Uncle, if you need any help from us, please feel free to ask!"

"Martial Uncle Lin, they must be people sent by Gu Nan—"

"Everyone shut up!" Lin Ling looked irritated and berated all the scholars, causing them to fall silent, "He didn't just send people; he came in person."

……

As its Star Ruler, Fang Chaoyun was naturally the first to know about Graceful Heaven’s situation, and Song Fei could also see the situation at a glance. He couldn't help frowning. "Go back first and deal with the matter before coming back."

Fang Chaoyun didn't have time to say anything else and left immediately, rushing to his astral world as soon as possible.

He also never expected Gu Nan to be so bold as to dare to attack Graceful Heaven directly.

He was already one of the most powerful existences under Unified Dao. Even people like Xue Ren had to avoid fighting Fang Chaoyun inside his own astral world, so what gave Gu Nan the guts to do this?

Fang Chaoyun's rage surged, and he quickly threw himself into the spatial passage without too much thought.

……

Space travel also took time. Before Fang Chaoyun could arrive, the situation in Graceful Heaven took a turn for the worse.

Lin Ling knew Gu Nan's impressive, vicious reputation and didn’t dare to be careless. He just used his sword energy to protect the academy and didn’t consider going out at all.

However, to his surprise, Gu Nan had no intention of hiding himself. He showed up just like that and leisurely walked up to the academy.

"We barely managed to set up the various sub-formations, but they’re still incomplete. Senior will need to stay inside the main formation and link up the sub-formations scattered throughout this world," Zhuangxuan said from beside Gu Nan.

Gu Nan just nodded wordlessly. He took a step forward and was already inside Graceful Academy by the time his foot hit the ground.

"Gu Nan!" Lin Ling couldn't help shouting when she saw his figure, “You dare to act unbridled in Graceful Heaven? Senior Martial Brother Fang will return soon, and then—"

Lin Ling’s voice abruptly cut off before he could finish. That was because Gu Nan's figure had landed in front of him and casually twisted his head off.

With Gu Nan's current Tier 10 Evil God physique, the strength and speed of his physical body alone had already reached incredible levels.

He simply moved, yet to others, he appeared to be teleporting. Moreover, his strength could easily destroy Star Rulers, making it impossible for them to resist.

Hou Songshan stood next to Lin Ling, watching Gu Nan appear inexplicably while the martial uncle holding a sword next to him slowly fell down, unable to say a word.

The next moment, Gu Nan's figure suddenly disappeared again, heading underground to control the core formation. As for the Confucian scholars who came with Hou Songshan, they were naturally dealt with by Zhuangxuan's people.

The grand formation underneath Graceful Academy was the core formation controlling all the sub-formations and the location where power extracted from the blood sacrifice would gather.

Gu Nan placed the crimson skull down, and a faint red light appeared from both ends, then quickly flew into the skull.

All living creatures in Graceful City clearly felt a mysterious power descend, as if something was surging inside their bodies and trying to break out.

At the same time, the threads of life they couldn’t see were being continuously pulled out and gathered underground.

Some creatures with short lifespans already showed signs of rapid aging and reached the end of their lifespans in the blink of an eye.

This strange phenomenon quickly caused panic. Those who had the ability to leave Graceful Heaven already fled as if they were taking refuge; the remaining inhabitants were normal people with insufficient strength.

At this moment, Fang Chaoyun finally arrived.

He took in Graceful Heaven’s entire situation in a glance and almost fainted, his vision going dark.

‘What a bully!’

This Gu Nan didn't come here just to stir up trouble; he actually wanted to blood sacrifice the entire Graceful Heaven!

Fang Chaoyun was filled with remorse and shame. If he hadn't been so blinded by hatred and gone to the frontlines himself, he would never have given Gu Nan such a chance!

"Die!"

Along with a loud shout, a huge "die" character appeared out of thin air and landed in the sky above Graceful Academy.

Deep underground, Gu Nan slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the grand formation on the ground that had turned blood-red, and finally smiled.

"Song Fei and Austin are both here. Thank goodness I prepared in advance."

He stepped out of the formation, grabbed an orb out of thin air, and pressed it directly into the ground.

"Consider yourself lucky. Make room for Old Fang."

As Gu Nan finished speaking, the world originally sealed inside the Divine Kingdom Treasure Orb quickly dissipated and returned to its original place, while a new vortex started forming around the orb.

The next second, Gu Nan's figure suddenly disappeared and reappeared in midair, facing the word "die" falling directly on his head.

Less than two years later, Gu Nan once again stood before Fang Chaoyun, yet the current him was incomparably stronger than before.

Fang Chaoyun held nothing back this time, imbuing a huge amount of his astral world’s power into one character. Even a Tier 10 powerhouse would need to avoid that attack.

It could be said that very few people could confront the current Fang Chaoyun head-on, but Gu Nan just happened to be one of them.

Without any unnecessary movement, Gu Nan raised his fist and punched up, hitting the "die" character square in the center.

A head-on confrontation!

Gu Nan's choice was unexpected, and the result was equally unexpected.

The punch collided with the character, and the terrifying impact almost blew the entire Graceful Academy away while Gu Nan's figure seemed to be unaffected and jumped outside the shockwave’’s range at extremely high speed.

In the end, Fang Chaoyun was someone who lived for tens of thousands of years. Even when he was extremely furious, he didn’t lose his basic vigilance.

He’d already realized something was wrong the instant Gu Nan suddenly appeared. He wrote six characters for "resist" in quick succession, which floated around him in an attempt to resist possible attacks.

Unfortunately, the one he had to face was a Tier 10 Gu Nan, a monstrous existence Yan Xiaoxiao described as unprecedented.

Another punch landed, and Fang Chaoyun felt as if a whole world was bearing down on him. The six "resist" characters couldn't even block for an instant and were destroyed as soon as they made contact!

Fang Chaoyun strengthened his defense with his astral world’s power, but it was completely destroyed. ‘Could it be that… a Unified Dao existence is secretly helping him?’

With his thoughts distracted for a split second, it was no longer possible for him to turn the tables on Gu Nan.

Gu Nan's movements flowed naturally. While breaking through Fang Chaoyun’s defense with one punch, another punch was already headed for the enemy’s abdomen.

Just as this lightning-fast punch was about to land, an aura suddenly rose in the air, and a ruler finally fell from the void, targeting Gu Nan's heart.

Gu Nan, however, didn’t retreat but instead advanced, increasing his speed even further. He was actually planning to tank an attack from a Unified Dao powerhouse!
