Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God-Chapter 594: Light and Shadow

The safety of both worlds was at stake in this decisive battle!

The three had no intention of saying anything else and attacked Gu Nan simultaneously. The target they chose was very consistent. It was none other than Gu Nan's Stigma of Life and Death!

Having already communicated with Austin and Daisy, Yu Lian certainly also knew the stigma’s significance, and her attacks were even fiercer than those two’s.

If the two greater gods still had a slim chance of survival even if they lost here, then she would most certainly be doomed to death, possibly even dragging the entire Void Grotto Heaven down with her.

‘Void Grotto Heaven, which has been passed down for 100,000 years, must not be destroyed in my hands!’

There was a look of madness in Yu Lian's eyes, but her Daoist techniques remained steadfast without a hint of panic, ever-changing in its unpredictability. A Daoist talisman suddenly turned into a long blade and slashed at the Stigma of Life and Death.

This talisman looked familiar to Gu Nan. The talisman used by Daoist Lingyang in the past to kill the God of Tenebrosity was somewhat similar to this one.

‘Sure enough, the inheritance Daoist Lingyang received is related to Void Grotto Heaven.’

To think Gu Nan still had time to indulge in idle thoughts, even at such a critical time. It could only be said that for someone in his realm, the speed of their thoughts was incomprehensibly fast.

Yu Lian's blade was the first to land with inexplicable sharpness and domineering spirit, directly hitting Gu Nan's body.

The Dao was the blade; the blade was the Dao.

Unfortunately, Gu Nan was too perceptive to the rhythm of battle. He simply turned slightly to the side, and the blade containing the Heavenly Dao missed the Stigma of Life and Death and only slashed his waist.

The Blade of Providence sliced off a piece of flesh from Gu Nan's waist, but he recovered instantly. Gu Nan could completely ignore attacks of this level.

But Yu Lian’s original intention was simply to force Gu Nan to dodge. Almost as soon as Gu Nan moved, Austin's holy sword headed directly for the stigma.

Though Daisy struck later, her attack arrived first. The law of darkness condensed in the void, and a strange black light appeared directly near the mark.

Unlike Austin and Yu Lian, Daisy's power was more secretive and unfathomable, and also purer.

Even Austin had to rely on the holy sword in order to gather enough power to trigger the stigma, but Daisy could do the same just by materializing laws out of thin air.

In a sense, she was more troublesome and more dangerous than Austin.

A dark vortex appeared, and Gu Nan reacted extremely swiftly. The left side of his body quickly turned into laws, and the position of the Stigma of Life and Death shifted so that the dark vortex only hit the law of shadows.

But after this exchange, Austin had already closed the distance to Gu Nan. The holy sword in his hand turned and thrust directly at the Stigma of Life and Death. Gu Nan finally had no way to dodge.

Be it Yu Lian or Daisy, everything they did was to pave the way for Austin's strike.

Their aim was to force Gu Nan into an unavoidable situation and have Austin deal the final blow!

Gu Nan suddenly froze his body, and his right hand—which hadn’t turned into laws—instantly curled into a fist and swung out, hitting Austin hard in the face.

Austin's whole body splintered into pieces, but the holy sword continued its swift trajectory forward, seemingly about to pierce the Stigma of Life and Death.

But right then, Gu Nan suddenly pressed down with one hand and grabbed the holy sword. Although holy flames immediately ignited his body and his palms even showed signs of being assimilated by the holy light, he ultimately managed to block the attack.

Daisy was slightly taken aback. Gu Nan's decisiveness was somewhat beyond her expectations, but her response definitely wasn’t slow either. The dark vortex reappeared instantly.

Yu Lian once again activated the Blade of Providence and shouted loudly, "Don't give him a chance to breathe—"

However, before she could finish, she saw Gu Nan's figure flicker, a fist blazing with holy flames suddenly heading for her.

Yu Lian was so startled that she could only raise the Blade of Providence to block. Unfortunately, even Austin couldn't take Gu Nan's punch head-on.

The Blade of Province was smashed to pieces in an instant. Not even the Heavenly Dao could stop Gu Nan. Instead, a golden scale slowly appeared above Yu Lian's head.

Nothing was placed on either end of the scale. Instead, when it appeared, Yu Lian herself was directly taken away and placed on one end of the scale.

The person standing before Gu Nan was suddenly replaced by Austin. It was an Austin who just reconstructed his divine body and appeared in front of Gu Nan.

Figures like Austin wouldn’t lose out to anyone else when it came to flexible usage of their powers.

Speaking of which, Gu Nan had already shattered his divine body no less than three or four times, but Austin still seemed completely unaffected and was still surging with power.

He truly earned the title of “King of Gods”.

Austin raised his holy sword and blocked Gu Nan for an instant. Then his figure suddenly drifted away, having no intention of engaging in a direct confrontation as he thrust his sword directly at the Stigma of Life and Death.

Austin's swordsmanship style was clearly from the World of Gods, which was mainly focusing on thrusts and stabs. It was as different as can be from the Myriad Heavens’ swordsmanship, but it was very effective.

Such a stab might not have been lethal enough in the past, but now, it was an excellent way to trigger the Stigma of Life and Death.

Gu Nan didn't want to verify whether his Third Round was the real thing, so much so that even now, he still hadn’t revealed his true power after reaching the Third Round. He was waiting for an opportunity.

An opportunity to decide the outcome of the battle in one fell swoop.

The opportunity Gu Nan was waiting for soon arrived. Daisy took advantage of Gu Nan's retreat to suddenly make the dark vortex surge with power—her true body finally revealed itself, personally controlling the vortex to raise its power to the max.

She also didn't care about herself, determined to not give Gu Nan a chance to breathe even if she had to lose a divine body in the process.

However, what she didn't expect was that the moment the two made contact, the shadows that seemed to be born from the abyss erupted forth.

Daisy, who’d always been the one devouring others with endless darkness, experienced the feeling of being devoured for the first time. The shadows practically enveloped her completely. The darkness could only peek out an inch from her body, and even then, it would still immediately be assimilated and devoured.

"This is…" She’d never seen a law with such a strange effect before, not even from Austin. This was a completely different level of power.

If the peak of the Second Round was becoming one with a law and becoming the incarnation of that law, then after the Third Round, Gu Nan himself was commanding the law.

He no longer took the place of the law’s will, but was instead ordering the law with his own will, able to change it however he wanted.

If Gu Nan was the one complying with the nature of shadows and constantly adjusting himself to adapt to shadows in the earlier realms, then now, he could manifest shadows in any way, shape, or form.

Daisy felt this clearly.

"This isn’t shadow! What kind of power is this?!" The Dark Lady roared loudly.

She’d never seen such domineering shadows before. This power of rapid assimilation was practically the same as… Austin's law of light!

It was similarly highly invasive and possessed the power to assimilate almost everything. However, Gu Nan's shadow was more active and powerful.

All this happened in an instant. Austin and Yu Lian didn't even have time to react. They only heard Daisy’s shout, after which the law of darkness was instantly annihilated.

Yu Lian stared at this scene blankly and murmured, "It's over…"

Austin's face, which was always as calm as water, had the same ugly expression.

Even if Daisy didn’t die from this blow, she would probably still lose most of her combat power.

But what was even more frightening was that no one was capable of opposing the Evil God anymore.
