Golden light spilled down. Jin Wuyin was like an invincible giant, descending with terrifying might.
As a golden giant with the purest bloodline, Jin Wuyin could always remain in his true form. On the contrary, the human form he normally used was the result of deliberately restraining his powers.
Qian Han stood quietly beside Jin Wuyin with a smile on his face, looking at Gu Nan and Wu Gui below.
'Even if you're as cunning as a fox, this old man still caught you!'
Now that he was collecting the fruit of his victory, even the extremely shrewd Qian Han couldn't help feeling some joy in his heart. He really put too much effort into finding Gu Nan's whereabouts.
"A Star Ruler level golden giant?" Wu Gui frowned slightly. Jin Wuyin fully displayed his own power, which allowed her to see his background at a glance.
This situation made Wu Gui somewhat perplexed.
'Since when were Star Rulers so worthless that they keep on appearing one after another?'
Under normal circumstances, even in the Myriad Heavens Universe, the probability of seeing a Star Ruler was infinitesimal.
If Prodigious cultivators stood at the peak of the secular world and Void Cutter cultivators had taken their first step out of the mortal world, then Star Ruler cultivators were lifeforms on a completely different level from the first two.
Perhaps Void Cutters may still need mortal organizations to handle matters for them and collect cultivation resources, but Star Rulers didn't need that at all.
Most of their energy was spent in the Inner World, looking for a suitable astral world in the Myriad Heavens Starry Road.
In other words, Star Rulers were more concerned about the world itself and not the people living inside it.
"You are Gu Nan?" As soon as Jin Wuyin appeared, he asked with a thundering rumble, followed closely by his fist.
A question was a question, but he didn't plan to pause his hand movement just to ask a question.
Gu Nan also didn't pause. He retaliated with a punch of his own without hesitation and even threw himself forward, heading straight for Jin Wuyin.
"Golden giant, you came just in time!" On the contrary, Gu Nan was actually a little happy that Jin Wuyin delivered himself right to his door.
This wasn't like the time when he first saw Young Master Jin. Back then, he was busy building his Divine Kingdom and had a thousand things to do, so he didn't have the energy to care about anything else.
But the foundation of Gu Nan's Divine Kingdom was already established now, and he had a stable source of both resources and points, so he naturally had more energy to consider other matters.
The world outside the Myriad Heavens Universe, for one. Subduing certain suitable otherworldly clans to serve as his apostles, for another.
Punch against punch!
How strong was Gu Nan's Tier 5 Evil God physique? Not even Wu Gui could oppose him with just her Buddhist true body alone. She had to bring out her Buddhist and demonic intent to barely withstand it.
On the other hand, as the chief of the golden giants clan, Jin Wuyin's body was his most powerful weapon!
Different from the fight against Wu Gui earlier, this time the collision of the two punches caused an ear-piercing explosion.
Then the two each took a step back and landed on the ground with enough force for their feet to sink into the ground, sending a cloud of smoke flying up.
This punch was an honest to god collision; it didn't end at merely destroying the opponent's laws. The terrifying force gave both sides rather serious injuries.
Gu Nan's right hand was almost completely broken; bones were jutting out from his elbow. Jin Wuyin, on the other hand, fared no better. His hand was badly mutilated, and his wrist was broken at a strange angle.
"You're absolutely not from my golden giants clan. Who are you?" Jin Wuyin's right hand trembled slightly, unable to hide the surprise in his heart, as he asked loudly.
He originally believed that Gu Nan was a descendent of his clan and wanted to subdue him and bring him back to the clan, so he didn't use his full power.
But even without his full power, it was still impossible for a golden giant to fight him to such a standstill without transforming into their true body—unless the other party wasn't one of the golden giants in the first place!
But Gu Nan's right hand was recovering rapidly. Almost in the blink of an eye, the bones had healed completely and the skin was also growing quickly.
This made Jin Wuyin, whose injuries recovered extremely slowly, stare so hard that his eyes almost popped out.
For a naturally-gifted race like them, the stronger their bodies, the longer it took them to recover from injuries. On the contrary, if one's physical strength came from various external buffs, then there would be no limitation in this respect.
"The golden clan… Are you guys interested in becoming my apostles?" Gu Nan asked with a light smile, but his hand didn't hesitate as he directly activated a law.
He knew that Jin Wuyin didn't use his full power in the earlier punch. It was quite troublesome to deal with Jin Wuyin in Gu Nan's normal state.
So he threw out a skill without hesitation—Deity's Descent! A Deity's Descent strengthened by the power of shadows!
Rays of black light lit up from behind Gu Nan. An incomparably majestic and gloomy aura flowed out little by little, almost covering the whole world.
"This…" Wu Gui stared at this scene in shock. Behind her, the Asura half of her avatar suddenly jerked like it was about to break away from her control.
She was originally happily watching from the sidelines when Gu Nan suddenly did this. That gloomy aura spreading crazily almost drew out her demonic nature!
The terrifying black fog was still pouring out endlessly, almost completely wrapping Gu Nan up.
His body quickly grew in size and even turned a dark color. His originally black pupils also contained hints of purple now.
And the black fog surrounding his entire body finally gathered behind him, turning into pairs of skeletal wings—twelve wings exactly, no more and no less. They looked sinister and frightening.
Even Gu Nan didn't recognize himself after this change. He looked back in astonishment and muttered, "The hell is this? Twelve-Winged Skeletal Angel?"
Even in his past life's game, there weren't many people who truly used the Deity law.
This thing required a large investment in the early stage and had a long cooldown time. It belonged to the "five seconds as a real man" category of skills, so not everyone liked to use it.
And after Gu Nan leveled up to Tier 5, this skill was further strengthened by the power of shadows, so not even Gu Nan himself could predict the current appearance of Deity's Descent.
However, he soon knew the answer, because Jin Wuyin and Wu Gui blurted out almost simultaneously, "Nine Abyss Heavenly Demon!"
Nine heavens as Heaven, and nine abysses as Earth. The power of shadows had a dark attribute to begin with, so the deity that should've been in the nine heavens naturally fell into the nine abysses after being dominated by the power of shadows, turning into a demon.
In the Myriad Heavens Universe's original records, the Nine Abyss Heavenly Demon was exactly what Gu Nan resembled right now.
"Heavenly Demon?" Of course Gu Nan heard Jin Wuyin and Wu Gui. He glanced at his dark purple skin and felt the increase in power the twelve wings behind him brought, and pretty much tacitly admitted to this.
Wu Gui unobtrusively retreated a step. This situation had already exceeded her expectations, but it also explained her long-standing question.
Gu Nan actually advanced at a pace even faster than the speed at which she recovered her own powers. How was that possible?
'So he's the reincarnation of a Heavenly Demon!'
'Now that he's returned to Star Ruler Realm, he finally displayed the power of his past life!'
With such thoughts in her heart, one doubt after another seemed to be cleared… Wu Gui studied Gu Nan with a deep gaze.
Jin Wuyin, on the other hand, felt his lips twitch slightly. He wanted to run away, only to realize that the surrounding space had been frozen by that majestic aura, so there was no escape.
Under such circumstances, he turned and ran without another word—although space was sealed off right now, his incomparably strong body could at least still run!
Thus, the Qian Han beside him was exposed. Facing this white-haired old man who'd broken out in a cold sweat, Gu Nan revealed a "kind" smile.
