Chapter 566: Death Energy

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Baal was very clearheaded. He knew that if he continued to chase Gu Nan, he would only be left in the dust. Ultimately, the whole battle would be brought down by Gu Nans tactics.

Although this tactic enraged him greatly, the battlefield was a matter of life and death. Who could afford to worry about morality here?

So Baal made the best decision given the circumstances.

Since Gu Nan liked to go after normal greater gods, Baal would force Emperor Zhao to retreat. If Boswell could be freed up, even if they competed with Gu Nan for speed of kills, his side would still have the absolute advantage.

The Ruler of Ashen Cyan immediately understood Baals intentions. He pointed his staff to the distance, and the cyan light filling the sky intensified. Even Emperor Zhao's human path emperor Qi was suppressed.

The death scythe struck from behind again, and the corners of Emperor Zhaos mouth couldnt help twitching slightly. But he also couldnt throw away his pride to ask Gu Nan for help, so he could only hold on with all his strength.

But he was already the weakest among the top seven powerhouses, and now, he was even besieged by two of them. How long could he hold out?

With the tacit cooperation between the Ruler of Ashen Cyan and the God of Death, Emperor Zhao was hit by the death scythe four consecutive times, after which Baal directly detonated the death energy accumulated in Emperor Zhaos body, causing the latters body to explode.

The damage caused by the Death God was far more serious than Gu Nans punches. The death energy directly attacked Emperor Zhaos laws, damaging the opponent's foundation.

At least in the near future, it would be hard for Emperor Zhao to be in fighting condition again.nove(l)bi(n.)com

But while Baal and Boswell were dealing with Emperor Zhao, Gu Nan was constantly attacking other greater gods.

He was extremely fast, and without the support of the top greater gods, normal greater gods couldnt withstand Gu Nan's attacks at all, undergoing a round of purging.

The remaining five greater gods from the Dark Faction all had their divine bodies destroyed at least once. The most unlucky person, the Beast God, even had his divine body destroyed for the third time, and Goddess of Nature Daphne also had her body destroyed twice.

Even though the simple act of destroying a gods divine body was slightly less damaging than a direct attack on their laws, it still meant losing a portion of their Godhead, which could not be regarded as an insignificant loss.

Baal and the Ruler of Ashen Cyan exchanged glances. They both knew that with the characteristics of their own laws, it wouldnt be easy to catch Gu Nan.

Since the other party wanted to trade a life for a life, they would oblige!

The two didn't need to communicate at all and pounced directly on a Unified Dao cultivator near themit was none other than Song Fei, who seemed relatively weaker.

Song Fei's laws werent very useful in fights, and his own realm also wasnt considered high. He was naturally one of the easiest targets among the Unified Dao figures.

But to be besieged just because of Gu Nan's decision was the most painful thing.

Since when did Gu Nans decisions hold so much weight?

Song Fei held on just barely and was killed by the two greater gods almost in the blink of an eye. His soul quickly fled to Academic Heaven; he didnt even have time to take back his laws.

This wasnt because Song Fei didnt try his best. Rather, the power of two Tier 14 greater gods joining forces could not be underestimated.

Baal and Boswells team-up allowed them to defeat Unified Dao enemies with an efficiency that did not lose out to Gu Nan, and they even caused more damage.

The Beast God could reappear again and again, but Song Fei dared not show his face again, or else he might truly die.

Baal and Boswell then found Dream Immortal. She hadnt recovered from the injuries Gu Nan gave her yet, making her an easy target. On the other side, Gu Nan also switched his focus to the Ruler of Nightmares who just returned.

Austin and Daisy were kept busy by Jiu Po and Yu Lian, so Gu Nan started a hunting competition with Baal and Boswell, which was the strategy that best suited Gu Nan.

It couldnt be helped. After all, no one could catch Gu Nan. If they didnt engage in a hunting competition against him, should they just watch as Gu Nan slaughtered greater gods?

On the other hand, Yu Lian was already feeling the pressure from her senior.

She didnt even have a chance to throw out most of her Daoist techniques before they were directly swallowed by the boundless darkness.

If she hadn't relied on some of Void Grotto Heavens secret techniques, perhaps she wouldve already lost now, unable to fight back at all.

On the contrary, Jiu Po and Austin were evenly matched; neither could suppress the other anytime soon.

Jiu Po was already on guard against "justice" and wouldnt allow Austin to succeed easily this time. With his power, stalling the battle for a while was no problem at all.

"Your people can't last for long. Why don't you retreat?" Jiu Po pointed with a smile.

In the direction he pointed at, Daphne was once again targeted by Gu Nan. Her strength began to weaken, and she was unable to resist at all. Her Godhead was soon shattered by Gu Nan.

If not for the war between the two worlds, she wouldve hidden herself in her Divine Kingdom long ago instead of coming back to seek death again and again.

Austins expression was indifferent. "Aren't you guys the same?"

"It's different." Jiu Po shook his head and said seriously, "Gu Nan can actually kill people."

The situation took a new turn. After Gu Nan killed Daphne yet again, he quickly left the battlefield, with no intention of showing up again.

Baal and the Ruler of Ashen Cyan looked at each other and immediately returned to the World of Gods without much thought. Sure enough, they found Gu Nan already inside the Nature Divine Kingdom.

"His divine body is powerful, but it also has its drawbacks." Baal said in a low voice, "As long as we completely destroy him, he will have no chance to intervene in this battle again."

A winner would almost certainly be decided in this battle. As long as they completely conquered the Myriad Heavens, they would have plenty of time to deal with Gu Nan.

Boswell said seriously, "I will protect Daphne. You can find an opportunity to strike."

The Death God nodded solemnly. If Gu Nan wanted to kill Daphne, he wouldnt run away again. They all knew that this was their best opportunity.

However, Baal soon discovered that he did not need to deliberately look for opportunitiesbecause Gu Nan had no intention of hiding his whereabouts.

He stood brazenly in the Nature Divine Kingdom, and the law of shadows quickly radiated outwards, engulfing all living creatures in the Divine Kingdom.

Boswell raised his staff again, covering the Nature Divine Kingdom with a cyan light that quickly protected some creatures and continuously resisted Gu Nans law of shadows.

In a battle of pure laws, Gu Nan was no stronger than the Ruler of Ashen Cyan.

Gu Nan was also fully aware of this, so in a flash, he appeared behind Boswell and slammed a punch down.

As if Baal had expected that, he appeared in front of Gu Nan in advance, blocking his way with the death scythe.

A scene similar to before happened. The scythe left deep gashes on Gu Nan's body, while Gu Nan's fist also smashed the scythe into pieces.

But with such a delay, the Ruler of Ashen Cyan could naturally retreat calmly. No one at the greater god level lacked fighting experience.

However, Gu Nan just smiled. His figure flew around quickly and threw punches from all directions, all targeting the Ruler of Ashen Cyan.

Baal was like the sharpest hunter. No matter which angle Gu Nan attacked from, he could still block with great accuracy.

One more blow Baal estimated the strength of the opponent's divine body in his mind. As long as Gu Nan was cut by his scythe again, the explosion of death energy would be enough to completely destroy the opponent.

The shadows reemerged, and Baal did not hesitate to slash Gu Nan hard.

Its enough! Baal perked up and immediately detonated the death energy inside Gu Nan's body, but Gu Nan's subsequent move startled him.

As if he already knew Baals plans, Gu Nan flew towards Boswell.

The terrifying law of death exploded out with the two of them at the center.
