Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God Chapter 203

Righteous Judgment, which was dubbed the "greatsword" by players, was a very special skill because it caused true damage based on the amount of HP the target already lost.

And how was HP calculated in the real world?

Gu Nan didn't know the specifics behind the Evil God Temple's calculation method, but he knew one thing—as long as the other party was injured and bleeding, this skill would definitely do damage.

With this female Buddha's current state, there was no need for a fatal attack. Even a slight interference was enough to consign her to eternal damnation.

Gu Nan understood the situation quite clearly—being able to accurately analyze the situation was also an essential quality for top players.

His sealed power of law managed to break free just a little, and the sword of shadow seemed dimmer than usual, but the white light on the sword's tip revealed unspeakable power.

Gu Nan ruthlessly stabbed the sword down, but when the sword tip was about to touch the girl, the latter suddenly turned around.

Her tightly-shut eyes snapped open again, but this time they didn't glow golden. Instead, they glittered with a purplish-black light, containing endless demonic intent.

Hints of purple infiltrated the golden "卍" symbol on the girl's forehead little by little, turning the mark completely purple in the blink of an eye.

The power of the “greatsword” didn't make heaven and earth tremble this time. Actually, it didn't even injure the girl.

Because the instant she turned around, the energy surrounding the girl suddenly surged, becoming extremely powerful. It was so powerful that not even the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord, who was already half a step into Tier 4, could match her.

Perhaps only the King of the Deep Sea, who'd been unfathomable from beginning to end, could be a match for the current her.

Golden light flashed, and Gu Nan was instantly blown away. Most of his body was smashed to pieces. His injuries were even heavier than the ones inflicted by the King of the Deep Sea a while ago.

The girl had gone from a mortal straight to Tier 4. The power of Buddhist reincarnations was indeed extraordinary.

Gu Nan fell to the ground like a heap of mud, and even his skull had split into two. His cerebral cortex came into direct contact with the ground, giving him a strange sensation.

But thanks to an outrageous damage reduction skill like Resistance, Gu Nan wasn't dead yet.

His consciousness was always awake, because he sensed the vibration from the Evil God Temple.

｢Evil Event Complete: Nun—The Buddha of Ten Thousand Samsara. Total Evil Value obtained: 48｣

"What a pity."

The Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord gave a small sigh as he stared at Gu Nan, whose body had been completely smashed into a mangled heap.

The King of the Deep Sea also looked over there, but he just snorted coldly. "He overestimated himself!"

'Now that the Buddha of Ten Thousand Samsara has reappeared in this world, not even I would dare to casually intervene. I wouldn't even order my subordinates to intervene. After all, whether the other party becomes a demon or a Buddha has nothing to do with me.'

'The Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord dares to intervene only because it's related to his breakthrough. He naturally dares to take any risk in order to break through to Tier 4.'

'As for that brat who snatched the Realm Stone… A mere Prodigious cultivator actually dared to attack the Buddha of Ten Thousand Samsara? He really is tired of living.'

However, the King of the Deep Sea finally understood the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord's goal at this time.

In fact, the entire thing was very simple. The Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord found the Buddha of Ten Thousand Samsara's current reincarnation, so he laid out a plan to awaken her using an entire region's worth of destiny and fortune.

No matter how deep or profound the scheme, everything would become clear and logical as long as you knew the schemer's goal.

However, before they knew about the existence of the Buddha of Ten Thousand Samsara, be it Gu Nan, the other five great Dao Lords, or White Mist—none of them could understand the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord's actions.

"The Buddha who has reincarnated 9,000 times is now destroyed in this single reincarnation. What a pity,” the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord lamented as he looked at the girl who was gradually floating towards the purple cloud in the air, shaking his head and sighing.

Every reincarnation of the Buddha of Ten Thousand Samsara was a person with profound Buddhist affinity, and every reincarnation's life ended in worship of the Buddha.

This obsession would accumulate for ten thousand lifetimes. If the Buddha could awaken after ten thousand reincarnations, then that would naturally result in the emergence of a Buddha among Buddhas, but unfortunately, this cycle was destroyed by the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord.

However, this obsession had already accumulated over nine thousand lifetimes, yet such an obsession hadn't been purified by Buddhist rites. One can well imagine the result.

"You'd better consider how to save yourself first," the King of the Deep Sea said as he looked at the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord strangely.

However, the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord laughed. "The day the Buddhist Ancestor awakens completely will be the day that this humble Daoist steps into the Void Cutter Realm. At that time, this humble Daoist can return to Starry Ocean Pavilion in a matter of seconds. Not even she will be able to catch up to me."

Perhaps because his long-cherished wish of many years—stepping into the Void Cutter Realm—was finally about to come true, the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord let his guard down slightly, and his words weren't as cautious as before.

Of course, the King of the Deep Sea had long known about his background, so there was no need for him to be cautious and try to hide anything.

The girl in the air flew higher and higher. The symbol on her forehead had turned completely purple, and her black hair was slowly getting longer, hanging down to her waist from both sides.

Her clothes also changed, turning into a black robe. She then slowly sat in a cross-legged position atop the purple cloud.

The purple cloud dispersed, only to reveal a huge black lotus. The girl sat on it, and the lotus slowly rotated beneath her.

The purple light in the girl's eyes finally began to dim until it completely dissipated. She looked no different from an ordinary person. Only then did she slowly look towards the audience of two.

She first gave the King of the Deep Sea a light nod, then looked into the distance at the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord. "This one will surely settle the debt with the Starry Ocean Pavilion one day."

The Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord bowed, looking entirely unconcerned. "This humble Daoist and the three Pavilion Lords eagerly await your visit."

The young girl just gave a cold snort but didn't say anything else.

However, someone shouted just then, "Don't go!"

The young girl looked to one side and saw a dazed Ye Chen. The latter's face was pale white. Nobody knew what he was thinking, but he kept on murmuring, "Don't go, don't go…"

"You used the force of destiny to awaken me. Although it was not my wish, it was still karma." She looked down on him from above and waved her hand, creating a black lotus that fluttered down. "This can help you break through the shackles of destiny and advance straight to Void Cutter Realm."

As expected of the Buddha of Ten Thousand Samsara. Even if she had just awakened, she could still bestow a treasure to help someone break through directly to the Void Cutter Realm.

But Ye Chen just stared blankly, unable to respond even when the black lotus landed in his hands. He kept repeating, “Don't go…”

He currently had a splitting headache, and there seemed to be something in his mind that eagerly wanted to jump out, but he simply couldn't remember it. He just instinctively sensed that it had something to do with the girl.

'If I let her go, I will definitely regret it.'

But the black lotus in his hands seemed to weigh tens of millions of pounds. All it did was land in Ye Chen's hands, but the weight of that alone crushed him so that he couldn't move a muscle; he couldn't even shout.

Ye Chen's clearly abnormal behavior made the King of the Deep Sea mutter to himself silently, and he sent the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord an odd glance, but the latter just smiled and remained silent.

The young girl sat upright on the black lotus again, looking up at the sky. She seemed to announce something to the sky.

"From today on, the Buddha of Ten Thousand Samsara is dead. I control the Buddhist path of reincarnation."

"From today on, the Buddha of the Myriad Heavens will no longer enter reincarnation. Death will be the end for me."

"From today on, my name is Wu Gui."

The young girl, or more accurately Demonic Buddha Wu Gui, declared to Heaven resolutely. Her voice instantly resounded throughout the entire Heaven and Earth Star and rang in everyone's hearts. Everyone on the planet heard her declaration.

At this time, however, a faint voice came from the direction of a heap of mangled flesh.

"Based on conventions, your older brother is probably called Wu Tian."

: Wu Gui means “no return.” She picked this name because her soul won't enter the cycle of reincarnation after death, so it will have no place to return to.

Incidentally, this chapter title also contains her name (Wu Gui), but because it referred to the “Buddha of No Return” as opposed to the “Buddha named Wu Gui,” the chapter title is translated literally

: I believe Gu Nan is referring to the show “Journey to the West: A Sequel,” where the main antagonist, Wu Tian, is a demon who proclaimed himself the Buddha, so both Wu Tian and Wu Gui are Demonic Buddhas and share the same last name
