Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God Chapter 229

Immortal Demon World was like an inescapable cage. Even though Stephen had already torn through space, some kind of force still pulled him back.

His status as a Void Cutter cultivator didn't allow him to avoid this disaster. Rather, it just gave him some privileges—his actual body returned as well, not just his soul.

Without giving him any time to think, Gu Nan's fist had already reached him.

In order to bring out the law nullification attribute's special characteristics as much as possible, he had already abandoned the shadow sword and even stopped using the “infinite crit damage” attack from the law of substitution.

At this stage, the law nullification power was undoubtedly his most powerful attack, and only a few special powers could neutralize it.

Unlike certain people, Gu Nan never hid his trump cards one after another. Rather, he preferred to use his full power to kill the enemy as soon as he attacked.

This habit was based on the foundation that Gu Nan had enough diversified methods to pick from.

Either kill the enemy in one blow, or make the enemy expose as many weak points as possible, then attack those weaknesses. This was Gu Nan's logic.

Boom!

The fist hit Stephen without hindrance, and all of the latter's laws and defense became a joke.

Fortunately, because of the special constitution of the giant corpse flower, he wasn't killed in a single blow. He merely roared in pain as the tentacles in the middle of his body began to wildly whip around in the air, forming many ripples in the air.

"Your Excellency… There's no need for us to fight to the death…" His human face coughed up a mouthful of blood and managed to say with some difficulty.

Boom!

What greeted him was still a punch.

Gu Nan never even thought about cooperating with Stephen. He only believed in his own judgment. He knew how to take control of a world better than anyone else.

Unless he had the power to directly subdue the entire world, he could only follow the preset rules. You can take advantage of loopholes in the rules, but you can't violate them.

Another punch flew at him, and Stephen's entire body was blown away.

If not for the barrier isolating the two of them from the rest of the world, Gu Nan could even use the corpse flower to hit cattle from all the way across the mountain and kill Gu Nian and Lu Zhanyu using the aftershocks of their battle.

Even just the aftershocks from a battle between Void Cutter cultivators wasn't something Gu Nian and Lu Zhanyu could endure.

Although Gu Nan was in a killing frenzy, his mind remained clear from beginning to end and he was able to calmly analyze the present situation.

The fact that Gu Nian and Lu Zhanyu actually made the decision to fuse together with each other was indeed a surprise to him.

Moreover, judging from their progress, these two sensible women showed unimaginable decisiveness when faced with the choice of life or death.

At first, they were nearly a hundred steps away from the ball of light, but they had already walked half of that distance in the blink of an eye.

Yan Xiaoxiao and Xue Yan, on the other hand, started only fifteen steps away from the goal, but now they still had one last step to walk.

After being thoroughly thrashed by Gu Nan, Stephen finally understood that he couldn't just sit still and wait for death.

He stood up again in a rage, and several tentacles whipped towards Gu Nan. "Bastard! The great Stephen will make you… Ah!"

Gu Nan seemed completely unaffected by the heavy tentacles from the corpse flower, simply allowing them to whip his body.

The next moment, he grabbed two tentacles and ruthlessly pulled them back, ripping the tentacles from the main body and even bringing some of the corpse flower's flesh along.

This Lord Stephen's upper half was a corpse flower plant, and that enormous maw was made of fiber, but his lower body was that of a certain animal. It was clear that the tentacles belonged to the animal half.

The tentacles were torn off by Gu Nan, revealing the flesh and blood still squirming inside, which exposed Stephen's actual identity.

A fellow who was a fusion of two living creatures; that was also why he came here—only half-and-half existences like him and the half-Buddha half-demon Wu Gui would be interested in the law of fusion.

How could normal people be willing to fuse together with someone else?

Gu Nan's figure blurred and appeared in the sky above Stephen again. With a light wave of his right hand, a huge shadow sword suddenly appeared, ruthlessly piercing the latter's flesh.

Stephen didn't even have a chance to scream this time. Gu Nan finally activated his own law of substitution.

The law of shadows that had been superimposed dozens of times directly destroyed the corpse flower's whole body from the inside, making the latter instantly explode into countless pieces of flesh.

A distinguished Void Cutter powerhouse died in Gu Nan's hands just like that. Even until he died, he wasn't able to cause many ripples at all.

But this wasn't his fault. Faced with Gu Nan, this kind of bug-like existence, not even the great Lord Stephen could do anything.

A while back, Luo Fei dared to challenge Gu Nan as soon as she obtained the law nullification power. One could well imagine how powerful it was.

And Gu Nan's compatibility with the law nullification attribute far surpassed Luo Fei's—the reason was very simple, because he had the Evil God physique!

By using the power of law nullification, he could nullify all laws and force the opponent into the same state as himself—that is, they can only use their bodies' physical strength to fight.

And speaking of the strength of one's physical body, Gu Nan really hadn't lost before.

After getting rid of Stephen, new opponents began to appear in front of Gu Nan once more, but Wu Gui and Ye Chen never reappeared.

_{The latest_epi_sodes are on_the ʟɪɢʜᴛɴᴏᴠᴇʟᴡᴏʀʟᴅ.ᴄᴏᴍ website.}

'Why was Stephen pulled back, but neither of those two were pulled back?' Gu Nan, who continued his killing spree, still had the leisure time to think about this problem in his mind.

'It's not due to their cultivation realms, nor the nature of their powers. Could it be… the soul?!'

The experiment he repeated for three months in a row appeared in Gu Nan's mind again, which gave him an epiphany.

Everyone who entered Immortal Demon World had half of their souls replaced by the world's origin. Presumably, the natives also received the same treatment from the world. Half of their souls were taken away as soon as they were born.

Precisely because of this, the world could pull their souls here to fight Gu Nan.

But Wu Gui entered by directly tearing a hole in the void, and Ye Chen must've kept his original soul intact, but Stephen was different.

He entered through Lu Zhanyu's Astral Gate from the Myriad Universe Starry Road!

"Keep half of all the residents' souls as a means to control them. It truly is… perfect!" Gu Nan's desire to control Immortal Demon World was getting stronger and stronger.

The living conditions of people inside the Divine Kingdom was a joke to players. They merely want the Divine Kingdom to provide them with power.

To perfectly control all residents' souls and extract their powers at will…

If such a powerful setting truly existed, it would definitely be the ideal Divine Kingdom every player dreamed of!

Thinking of this, Gu Nan's actions, which were already approaching the limits of speed, accelerated a bit again. In his calculation, his killing spree was approaching the end.

Immortal Demon World had quite a high population, but how many cultivators were strong enough to be pulled here?

Those who were qualified to have their souls pulled here were at least in the middle of Innate Realm. Even if eligible cultivators from all three superpowers here were summed up, the number wouldn't possibly exceed 100,000 people.

And with Gu Nan's speed of killing several people instantly like this, it really wouldn't take long at all.

But although Gu Nan killed quickly, others were faster than him. On the other side, Gu Nian and Lu Zhanyu held hands and had already reached Xue Yan's side.

They were only one step away from the world's origin.
