The open space outside White Mist was instantly plunged into an inexplicable silence.
Gu Nan's attitude was so fierce that the group of Star Rulers were all flabbergasted—there was no enmity between them!
In fact, even if they surrounded Gu Nan like this, their ultimate goal was only to force him to hand over Void Grotto Heaven’s inheritance. Not many actually wanted to kill Gu Nan.
Because they knew it wasn’t a simple matter to kill a Star Ruler who might have an astral world—at the very least, they first had to know where his astral world was.
At the Star Ruler level, very few people acted impulsively. The vast majority of them only acted to further their own interests, making the most beneficial choice for themselves.
Because of this, they didn’t understand Gu Nan's actions.
How can soone just start a fight to the death without even saying a word?
‘We didn’t go through all this trouble to climb to Star Ruler Realm, trampling tens of thousands of mortals under our feet, just to engage in fights to the death! There are so many resources; won’t it be great if everyone can develop peacefully?'
The Star Rulers were puzzled. Classmate Wang He, who received a punch from Gu Nan, was even more puzzled.
Not only did he not understand Gu Nan's attitude, but he also didn’t understand why this punch contained such frightening strength and why the other party seed unhard by his blade.
Now Wang He knew that his good friend Jin Lin was absolutely bullshitting him— ‘What do you an, average strength? A single punch from Gu Nan almost smashed apart!’
If not for his own astral world’s protection, he really would’ve died under this punch.
With no ti for further thoughts, Wang He’s figure directly exploded into a cloud of blade energy, instantly breaking away from Gu Nan's attack and fleeing to the rear in panic.
Then, without waiting for anyone to greet him, he actually opened a portal and darted inside.
“He actually ran back to his own astral world. How cowardly!” So Star Rulers couldn't help mocking, though their voices sounded a little uncertain.
To be fair, if one were to be targeted by a psycho like Gu Nan, they were afraid they would also have to hide away for a while… ‘Yup, this is a strategic retreat.’
On the other hand, Gu Nan's gaze had already fallen on them.
Gu Nan didn’t choose to attack the frontmost Daoist Monarch Wu Tian because Wu Tian's strength was around Tier 8. He wasn’t soone Gu Nan could kill just because he wanted to.
The targets he chose were a few people standing at the back of the group.
Star Rulers were all smart people and had very accurate judgnt of the situation. Of course they didn’t mind showing up when they believed Gu Nan couldn’t escape from the disaster and there seed to be hope of getting the inheritance.
But even so, it was impossible for so weaker Star Rulers to be at the front of the group, such as…
"Little Suru World’s Qin Anqi!"
"Cai Xi!"
"Underworld Star Sovereign!"
Gu Nan listed off one na after another as he swept his gaze across the rear of the group. They were none other than the Star Rulers he was targeting.
Among those Star Rulers, there were newly-advanced ones who just ca into possession of astral worlds, as well as normal ones who’d yet to control an astral world and only acted under their real nas or Daoist titles.
On the ground, Red Tail stood behind the saint clone and carefully reported these Star Rulers’ origins to him—as White Mist gained more power and influence, Red Tail's insight was naturally far superior to her previous self.
The three Star Rulers whose nas were called felt their scalps go numb, especially as they watched Gu Nan's figure approach them at an unimaginable speed.
Without even thinking, two of the three quickly fled. Only the middle-aged man nicknad “Underworld Star Sovereign" stayed behind.
Even Qin Anqi, who had an astral world, ran away, but this Underworld Star Sovereign dared to stay behind—he really was bold.
"Everyone, please help —”
Bang!
Before the Underworld Star Sovereign finished speaking, he saw Gu Nan's figure blink away, flat-out ignoring the many laws locking him into place and directly appearing behind his enemy.
The punch that imdiately followed directly blasted the Underworld Star Sovereign’s head to pieces.
A supre Star Ruler who surpassed the mortal world died at this point.
Even until his death, the Underworld Star Sovereign had a look of disbelief in his eyes, because Gu Nan's fighting style was completely beyond their understanding.
There had never been a Star Ruler who relied purely on their physical body to fight!
Fights between Star Rulers were already purely in the realm of laws. Even for people like Xue Ren and Wang He, who used swords or blades, they were still rely using their weapons to control laws.
Moreover, because their laws were related to weapons—eventually condensing laws into weapons—the power was far greater than ordinary weapons.
As for the legendary body refining cultivators, that was also achieved by strengthening oneself with the power of laws, and then manifesting superb strength.
Either way, as long as one faced laws on a higher level, they were bound to be suppressed—only Gu Nan remained unaffected.
Because the source of his power really was just his physical body.
“You’ve got guts." A nasty grin appeared on Gu Nan's face as he swung another fist down, shattering the Underworld Star Sovereign’s corpse.
The next mont, a large seal suddenly appeared above Gu Nan's head, smashing down on him out of thin air. The words "Daoist Sect" were clearly engraved on the seal.
Daoist Sect Realm’s Daoist Monarch Wu Tian finally made a move.
Star Rulers weren’t fools who’d stand around waiting to be killed. And it was impossible for them to notify Gu Nan before they made a move.
Wu Tian was certainly not the only person who struck at this most opportune mont. Among the remaining Star Rulers, at least half of them also made their move simultaneously, while the other half still had a wait-and-see ntality.
Various laws erged, both openly and in the dark. So were blatantly obvious, while others were insidious and vicious. The number of attacks was almost dazzling.
Daoist Monarch Wu Tian fixed his gaze on Gu Nan, but he was very certain of the outco. ‘No matter how strong your resistance to laws is, it’s impossible to escape unscathed when surrounded by so many laws.’
But a cold smile erged on Gu Nan’s face. His figure flickered again and instantly turned into pure shadows.
Surrounded on all sides, it was true that it was impossible for Gu Nan to break through with his Evil God physique, but he still had the law of shadows. Just how good was the law of shadows at running away? One could tell just by looking at Sylvia.
The Sylvia in the World of Gods was also only Tier 6, yet the reason she could survive through several godly world wars wasn’t only because she had an overprotective older brother.
After all, when the two major godly factions went to war, her identity was no longer a form of protection. Instead, she beca an attractive target for enemy gods.
If she hadn't run into Gu Nan—soone who also controlled shadows—back then, it would’ve been almost impossible for anyone to catch Sylvia.
Countless laws fell, and the shadows that Gu Nan turned into were wantonly torn apart, as if they were cut apart by a large net, turning into pieces of fragnted shadows.
But the next second, these broken pieces instantly reorganized themselves to form a new Gu Nan.
“Next," Gu Nan's cold voice rang out, causing the hearts of the Star Rulers present to chill in unison. Countless protective asures instantly sprung up in front of them.
Gu Nan's gaze was fixed on one person in the group, and his figure rushed over in a flash.
"Wait! You don't even know . Why would you single out?!” That Star Ruler retreated at the fastest speed in his life as he shouted.
“It’s not like I know anyone else either,” Gu Nan, who was already too lazy to listen to Red Tail's introductions, retorted coldly.
