Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God Chapter 226

｢Evil Event triggered: Immortal Demon Meeting｣

The completely unreasonable Evil God Temple once again sent such a notification to Gu Nan just as he appeared in front of Wu Gui City, watching Lu Zhanyu and the Gu family members disappear.

Clearly, this was another Evil Event right under his nose. Just like the last "Nun—The Buddha of Ten Thousand Samsara" Evil Event, there was no need for Gu Nan to make a wild guess and chase for clues, but it would most certainly be difficult.

It was indeed like this in the mid- and late-stages of the game.

Especially after the appearance of personal dungeons, Evil Events will gradually overtake normal dungeons as players' main source of Evil Value.

At the same time, the difficulty of triggering Evil Events will also increase, requiring players to explore on their own. Often, Evil Events can only be triggered when the player is right in front of them.

An event chain like the one Gu Nan encountered before that guided him to a Godhead step-by-step would probably never happen again.

Moreover, he would never even have encountered that event chain back then if not for the fact that a Godhead was truly too valuable.

"But since an Evil Event was triggered right now, it means something good is nearby." Gu Nan also had a deep understanding of the pattern behind Evil Events' appearances.

In the last "Nun—The Buddha of Ten Thousand Samsara" Evil Event, his rewards might've been even greater if he actually managed to kill her.

Lu Zhanyu and Gu Nian saw a very strange scene when they reached the ruins.

Yan Xiaoxiao and an expressionless woman were staring at each other, and between them, an invisible chain bound Yan Xiaoxiao's entire body, preventing her from moving.

"Void Cutter…" Gu Nian's expression didn't look too good. She had way too little information at hand, so little that she couldn't predict what sort of situation she'd encounter at all.

'A grand Void Cutter powerhouse actually appeared just like this. So then, just how many bigshots are hidden behind the scenes here?'

She almost had the urge to turn around and leave. There were some things in this world that she couldn't covet. Fortunately, it was just a reincarnation plane, which made her feel lucky.

"Fuse together… with me…" Xue Yan's voice was still echoing slowly, but at this time, a hand print descended from the air.

Wu Gui's figure appeared in the air, slamming her hand down.

White light suddenly lit up above Xue Yan's head, unexpectedly blocking Wu Gui's attack completely. Be it demonic intent or Buddhist energy, both were destroyed in this endless light.

"Immortal Demon Meeting—so you are that immortal?" Wu Gui's gaze was a little cold when she realized that her attack had no effect.

On the other hand, Lu Zhanyu beside her had an epiphany. "Someone already foresaw this day a long time ago and took away one of the two core people in 'Immortal Demon Meeting' in advance… What a grand plan!"

"What exactly is the Immortal Demon Meeting?" Gu Nian asked with a frown.

Since her life wasn't currently in danger, she felt at ease spectating from the sidelines.

"In this world, there's a natural-born immortal and a natural-born demon." Lu Zhanyu explained, "Someone predicted that the day the immortal and demon meet will be the day when that one's inheritance appears."

What she didn't say was that another mastermind had already seen through such an arrangement many years ago and had taken the "natural-born immortal" away from this world!

'But for some reason, the natural-born immortal returned again…'

"None of you can stop me." The young girl Wu Gui was still sitting upright on the black lotus, looking solemn and serene as her hand slowly reached out.

Intertwined golden and purple flames began to light up on her hand. She gently pressed her palm down, and a giant hand appeared out of thin air, pressing down on Xue Yan's head.

But Xue Yan still didn't move an inch, although the light on top of her head became more blinding. While her endless light was dissipating, it was also eroding Wu Gui's demonic intent.

The two seemed to be caught in a tug-of-war to see who would give in first.

Throughout all this, Xue Yan was still diverting some attention to keeping Yan Xiaoxiao tied up, although a faint black light began to flicker around the latter's body.

But at this moment, a fist abruptly punched Xue Yan in the lower abdomen, which still had a handprint with lingering demonic and Buddhist energy.

It was Ye Chen!

This child of destiny Xue Yan personally brought over finally made the choice that best suited his heart at this critical moment.

'Wu Gui's enemy is also my enemy!'

A black lotus shone dazzlingly in his arms. It was the same black lotus Wu Gui gave him back then, which he used at this time.

Only with the power of this black lotus could he possibly affect Xue Yan, who was at the Void Cutter Realm.

With a solid punch, the white light surrounding Xue Yan suddenly contracted, and her entire person was sent flying, but her expression was still vacant, and not even her gaze changed.

Ye Chen seemed puzzled, but Wu Gui's reaction was much faster.

Almost at the same time that Xue Yan flew out, Wu Gui had already appeared in front of the statue, reaching her hand out to press on the statue's forehead.

"Don't! She's the one who brought me here…" Ye Chen suddenly calmed down and seemed to understand something as he immediately shouted, but it was too late.

Just before Wu Gui touched the statue, another shadow appeared in front of her.

It was a huge corpse flower, but only its upper body was flower-shaped. The lower body had an upside-down face, looking very strange.

"Buddha of Ten Thousand Samsara… Let the great Stephen send you into reincarnation once more!" A horrifying sound came out from the human face as the giant mouth of the corpse flower bit down instantly.

"Astral Gate!" Wu Gui gave an angry snort and threw out another hand print, rushing forward without hesitation to fight the corpse flower with her bare hand.

But the boundless light appeared behind her again.

Xue Yan seemed to be completely uninjured. She lifted a ball of light with one hand and smashed it down expressionlessly.

She exhausted all schemes for today's situation, all to wipe out the Buddha of Ten Thousand Samsara in one fell swoop!

Wu Gui's eyes finally turned a little angry. She began to realize that from the moment she awakened, she'd already fallen into a countless number of people's schemes.

'Stephen wants the inheritance, while the Shadowless One wants this world, but I'm the only one who wants both, so they tacitly teamed up with each other to force me into a hopeless situation!'

From beginning to end, the two Void Cutter cultivators teamed up without any prior communication whatsoever, yet they displayed such flawless coordination.

"Is this the end?" The girl who transformed from a Buddha into a demon felt her mind clear up the closer she was to this life and death crisis.

She placed her palms together in front of her, half gold and half purple, half Buddha and half demon.

But at this time, a fist appeared without any warning, seemingly directly smashing through the void. At the same time, it also avoided the three fighting Void Cutter experts and headed straight at the statue.

When the corpse flower realized this newcomer's intention, his human face suddenly started shouting loudly, his voice full of panic, "D-Don't!"

Boom!

There was a quiet muffled sound, followed by the sound of something breaking, and the statue began to crack little by little under everyone's gaze.

"No…" The inverted face stared with wide eyes, as if he couldn't believe the scene before him.

The inheritance… shattered!

A figure slowly appeared next to the statue. This person was dressed in all white. He stared at the statue that had been splintered into pieces and smiled with satisfaction. "Goodbye, Overseer."

Thus, inside this world, space began to shatter, heaven and earth stopped operating, and everything began to return to primal chaos.
