Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God-Chapter 30: Prodigious Realm!

Slaughtering a village and slaughtering a small city were completely different concepts.

In the former case, one only had to block several main routes to ensure that no one could escape and that news wouldn’t leak for at least a few days, but in the latter case—

Tang You never imagined that the murderer would be insane enough to start slaughtering directly in the city.

She’s afraid that, after today, the other party’s vicious reputation will spread all over the world… ‘Who exactly can this be?’

In the city overflowing with a river of blood, when Tang You found the source of the killings… She only saw a small girl dressed in black clearly with a child-like face. She might not even be an adult yet?

"Long time no see." A voice sounded beside her ear.

Tang You suddenly turned around and saw a familiar figure standing to the side.

"Gu Nan! So it was you......"

"Oh? What do you mean by ‘so it was you’?" Gu Nan asked innocently.

Tang You felt her lips tremble. It was a manifestation of the universal anger a human felt at seeing other humans being deprived of their lives.

"These people have no enmity with you. We’re only here for missions, yet you’ve done such things that hurt both Heaven and Earth. Do you not fear incurring Heaven’s wrath?"

Gu Nan thought about it seriously. "In a sense, I don’t fear that."

Evil Gods were an existence that belonged to the Western fantasy system, so of course they didn’t fear Heaven’s wrath, which was a characteristic of Eastern fantasy systems.

"You… Hurry up and tell her to stop!" Tang You huffed.

Although Tang You's organization was assigned to the six demonic factions, this didn’t mean that they were evil demons—they had simply come to complete a mission.

Gu Nan smiled, but didn't speak. He gave her a reply through his actions.

"Wind!"

The arrow of wind created a gale that was hard to see with the naked eye. It shot straight towards Tang You, but ultimately, Tang You wasn’t a loser like Gu Weiran, so she jumped up immediately.

"Innate Realm Sixth Stage, hm?"

The corners of Gu Nan’s lips curled into a cold smile. A red light flashed on the Observer Eyepiece, and Tang You was instantly parsed into data in his eyes. None of her movements could escape Gu Nan's calculation.

Tang You, who was forced to jump by the wind arrow, had actually fallen into a disadvantage, since it was the hardest for people to control themselves in midair.

"Here it is!"

Gu Nan's eyes could see through all the fog, and a fiery red arrow shot forth. Even though Tang You changed her falling direction several times, she was still shot in the abdomen.

Boom!

Tang You was sent flying by the blast, but a fierce look flashed through her eyes. She had no intention of admitting defeat. ‘It’s nothing more than a superficial injury, just wait until I......’

Her eyes gradually widened, because she saw a figure quickly breaking out of the smoke from the explosion—it was Gu Nan.

‘He can even calculate where I’ll land after the explosion?’

Tang You’s mind just had such a thought as Gu Nan’s fist smashed into her face.

What happened next was only to be expected. To begin with, Gu Nan's strength wasn’t weak. Although Tang You was a distinguished Innate Realm Sixth Stage expert, her ability to take a beating wasn’t very high.

After several heavy punches from Gu Nan, most of her fighting strength had disappeared, leaving her with only the strength to bitterly defend herself.

‘So this is Innate Realm Sixth Stage… It’s really weak.’ Gu Nan shook his head and sighed while continuing with his punches.

It's not that he was arrogant, but that he had already surpassed the Innate Realm. An Evil God’s physique was too strong, and although its explosive force was only at Innate Realm Fourth Stage, it didn’t mean that it couldn’t win against those at Innate Realm Sixth Stage.

Even for Innate Realm Sixth Stage fighters, how many opportunities did they have to fully unleash their power? If they had to hastily defend, then of course they were no match for Gu Nan. After all, every punch of his contained this much strength.

Therefore, once the battle entered Gu Nan’s rhythm, his fights against people at Innate Realm Sixth Stage were like bullying children.

However, just when Tang You was completely suppressed by him, an indescribable feeling suddenly appeared in his mind. Gu Nan's expression changed slightly, and he didn’t even have time to care about the opponent in front of him as he hurriedly flickered to the side.

Almost at the same time as he left, a dark shadow fell down. It was a long blade and a man with sideburns.

Tang You saw him appear and breathed a great sigh of relief. "Elder Wen."

Elder Wen nodded gently and protected her behind him. He looked at Gu Nan with a smile. "So your name is Gu Nan? I don't remember a person like you in Ruby Fish Star’s vicinity."

Immortal Demon World had already been open for two or three years, so it wasn’t surprising that the other party knew Radiant Tower was the enemy organization and that Gu Nan was from Radiant Tower’s branch office near Ruby Fish Star.

Even in Star Realm, peak Innate Realm experts would still be pretty famous.

But a person who can talk like this......

"Prodigious Realm?" A slightly serious expression finally appeared on Gu Nan’s face. This was the first time he faced a Prodigious Realm martial artist.

"That’s right. You might as well kill yourself and leave this world." Elder Wen said indifferently, "Of course, if you want to experience the power of a Prodigious Realm cultivator, that’s fine too. After all, such opportunities are hard to come by."

A world as big as Immortal Demon World allowed reincarnators to divide their spirit into two. Half of their soul would enter the world, and the other half would be preserved in the gap in between worlds.

The advantage of this was that even if they died inside the plane, they could still preserve their life. They would only need some time to recover.

However, once a reincarnator died inside the Immortal Demon World, the world would stamp a mark onto their soul, and the person would never be able to enter this world again.

For example, Zhang Dongsheng and Tang Xuan from Gu Nan's branch office were originally both inside this mission, but Zhang Dongsheng died in an accident, so Tang Xuan was the only one left here.

The Observer Eyepiece constantly scanned Elder Wen but couldn’t obtain much information.

The other party seemed to be completely closed-off from the rest of the world, and very little power leaked out, so naturally he couldn’t get any useful data.

[Prodigious Realm individuals are self-contained worlds......] Gu Nan remembered the description of Prodigious Realm cultivators in the database.

If we say that Acquired Realm fighters are ordinary people and Innate Realm individuals are extremely powerful humans, then Prodigious Realm cultivators were those who transcend the category of human beings.

At best, the peak of Innate Realm was called "inhuman,” but Prodigious Realm cultivators were truly no longer human.

Moving mountains, filling up the sea, controlling fire, and manipulating thunder......

Although Gu Nan's fights against Innate Realm Sixth Stage experts were the same as beating dogs, in the eyes of Prodigious Realm cultivators, they could casually crush any number of Innate Realm fighters.

Gu Nan’s gaze swept around, but he couldn’t find traces of Yan Xiaoxiao anymore. He couldn’t help smiling a little at that.

This little girl was very clever. It was inevitable that she would escape as soon as possible, staying behind would only drag him down for no reason.

‘Even if you’re at the Prodigious Realm, you still may not be able to catch me, someone with the power of shadows……’ Gu Nan looked at Elders Wen with gloomy eyes as he thought to himself.

And Elder Wen seemed to be in no hurry, as if he was certain that Gu Nan wouldn’t be able to jump out of his hands.

On the other hand, Tang You became very relaxed right now. It was common sense that it was impossible for Innate Realm experts to defeat Prodigious Realm cultivators, unless in some special circumstances when the Prodigious Realm cultivator suppressed some of their own power.

Just as she relaxed and looked at Gu Nan, Gu Nan suddenly moved.

"So fast!"

Gu Nan displayed a speed that made Tang You’s jaw drop. She had never seen an Innate Realm expert with such a fast speed before. Gu Nan appeared before her almost in the blink of an eye.

"You......" Tang You couldn’t believe that in front of a distinguished Prodigious Realm cultivator, the other party’s goal was actually herself!

She seemed to see Gu Nan’s sneer at the corner of his mouth. However......

"Hmph!"

A cold snort came from the side, and Gu Nan was sent flying.
