Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God
Chapter 482: Starting The Hunt

Before Yu Yefei could register these words, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach as all her protective laws were instantly blasted through, and her body was struck without hindrance.

Her entire body flew backwards. Yang Yan frowned slightly, already appearing behind Yu Yefei in a flash as he caught her.

Yu Yefei was too close to see what happened, but he saw everything.

That person took Yu Yefei's palm strike head-on before instantly throwing a kick that broke through all of Yu Yefei’s defensive laws and hit her body.

"Pure strength? Who could this be?" Yang Yan put Yu Yefei down, his mind already going through a list of possible identities.

In his impression, there didn’t seem to be any body tempering cultivators at their level, or rather, even those experts would have recognizable characteristics when attacking, unlike this person…

"Could he be a god?"

Because of the recent war between the two worlds, this was the first thought that popped into Yang Yan's mind. He once again glanced at Yu Yefei, who seemed to have similar thoughts.

Though Yu Yefei was sent flying by the black-robed person’s kick, she wasn’t injured since it wasn't a strike at full power.

The two of them went through the entire list of possible identities for the stranger, but they never found a match.

Gu Nan’s figure might have appeared in their minds for a second, but he was ruled out in the blink of an eye.

This wasn’t their fault. After all, the outside world’s impression of Gu Nan was still that of a junior with somewhat mysterious abilities who just ascended to Realm Level.

He caused too much commotion with his advancement to Realm Level, and although he then fought Fang Chaoyun, he was just on the defensive and didn’t display many abilities, so there was no way for onlookers to judge his strength.

Speaking of special methods to temporarily fight against Tier 10 powerhouses, these two could also do the same; they’d just need some time to prepare.

Even Fang Chaoyun himself only viewed Gu Nan as a normal Realm Level Star Ruler.

In most people's minds, the rank of one’s astral world was the best measure of comprehensive strength, and if someone was strong in a certain aspect, then they were bound to be deficient in another aspect.

"Any other questions?" The black-robed man's calm and indifferent voice rang out.

Yu Yefei's gaze was slightly cold, and she was about to speak again when Yang Yan stopped her.

"Let’s depart," Northern Underworld Heaven’s Star Ruler said with a sunny smile.

……

Their current target was Snow God Claudia, an old god in the truest sense of the word. She was even older than many greater gods.

That was why there was no such thing as generations of Snow Gods; she was the only one since ancient times.

"An old fart of a god," Yang Yan gave quite a rude evaluation. "These types of existences usually fear death more. To think she’s actually part of the vanguard this time."

Yu Yefei had obviously done her homework, "Her daughter and son-in-law—both gods—all died at the hands of God Hunters."

"So she’s seeking revenge? We can use this in our plan," Yang Yan said with a nod.

Once they knew the target's goal, they could undoubtedly create a targeted ambush, getting the greatest gain at the smallest cost.

At the very least, the other party was a Tier 9 god. Older didn’t mean weaker, so they must not underestimate her.

Yang Yan and Yu Yefei discussed countermeasures and tactics for the actual ambush. Only the black-robed stranger never said a word.

The three had already reached the edge of the Myriad Heavens and were now in the frontlines. Yang Yan glanced at the stranger and asked, "Does Your Excellency have any advice?"

He originally thought this person would either give an opinion or continue to remain silent and pretend to be mysterious, but he didn't expect the other party to open his mouth…

"No."

The corners of Yang Yan’s lips twitched slightly, finally understanding Yu Yefei’s feelings. This kind of tone really was asking for a beating…

"Then how are you planning to deal with the Snow God?" Yu Yefei couldn't help sneering.

The black-robed man paused slightly and turned his head to look at Yu Yefei. "Find her, then kill her."

……

Finding the Snow God wasn’t too hard. Academic Heaven’s people had never let Claudia out of their sight ever since they discovered her trail.

Or rather, there weren’t many places to hide in the first place when it came to the frontlines where the two worlds met.

The Snow God was precisely one of the few high-ranking gods who traveled to the frontlines at this stage of the war. She was responsible for the preparations taking place in several frontline planes.

At the same time, she was also responsible for guarding the frontlines to prevent a surprise attack. And if she herself was the one to be ambushed, one can well imagine that the nearby gods would also step in.

"Claudia is down there." Yang Yan stood above the void and gazed at a small plane below them. "According to the information given by Academic Heaven, she’s not hiding herself and usually… Hey!"

Before Yang Yan could finish, he saw the black-robed figure next to him leap out, with absolutely no intention of discussing anything.

"Damn it!"

Yang Yan subconsciously made to follow him. If this fellow startled their target and she escaped, it would be much harder for them to succeed in their God Hunt the next time.

However, now it was Yu Yefei’s turn to pull him back. This young Star Ruler said with a serious face, "Let him test the waters first… It won’t be too late for us to attack after we confirm there’s no danger."

Yang Yan immediately understood. The war between the two worlds had too wide a reach. The enemy greater gods could strike at any time, so it would be better to let the black-robed man be the vanguard.

They weren't subordinates of Academic Heaven, so failing a hunt was no big deal. At worst, they would simply change a target next time, so there was no need to take risks.

Yang Yan stopped in his tracks, but then he felt a bit puzzled. "But that guy doesn’t seem to care about this at all. Could he be from Academic Heaven’s direct branch?"

"Like hell a direct branch would be sent out to die!" Yu Yefei refuted with a cold smile.

Ever since taking charge of Hundred Specters Heaven, her relationship with Academic Heaven had progressively deteriorated, which was inevitable.

As they watched, the black-robed stranger fell directly into the plane from the sky, and a pitch-black giant sword suddenly coalesced in his hand, chopping downwards with great force.

"He’s not a pure body tempering cultivator!" Yu Yefei was a little startled. She didn’t expect that although the other party’s physical body was so powerful already, his laws weren’t actually related to physical strength.

Yang Yan's thoughts churned, and his range of speculations regarding the stranger’s identity suddenly expanded a bit more.

Regardless of the two’s guesses, the black-robed figure on the ground didn’t hesitate in the slightest, chopping straight into the crowd.

This strike alone cost the World of Gods at least ten Legend Ranks and even injured some gods.

But after this strike, the black-robed man simply turned and left without saying a word, as if he only came to unleash this one attack.

Just as he turned to leave, a chill instantly descended on the small plane, and snowflakes began to drift in the sky.

Claudia finally made her move in an attempt to stop the enemy from fleeing, but something unexpected happened.

That black-robed person actually turned around in an instant and headed straight for the center of the snowstorm!

His entire body disappeared into the shadows, which hid all traces of his aura, as he arrived in front of Claudia in the blink of an eye.

A fist swung down, and Claudia instantly transformed into a sky full of snowflakes, escaping without a word as well.

"Can you really escape?" The black-robed figure let out a cold laugh, and he shouted at the two people outside the plane again.

"Are you two here to watch a play?!"

Yang Yan and Yu Yefei looked at each other in dismay and really did feel like they were watching a play… After seeing the black-robed stranger’s full power, they’d be blind if they still couldn't recognize him.

‘It was actually him! He’s already able to fight a Tier 9 god… How can this not be a play?’
