Gu Nan just stood in Extreme Sword Heaven, watching indifferently as Wrathful Buddha World was slaughtered into oblivion.

A perfectly fine small astral world was instantly reduced to nothing because of Gu Nan's single order, and everything had to start from scratch again.

Monk Nuxin’s eyes were practically bleeding as he glared coldly at Gu Nan. The destruction of his astral world was already irreversible; right now, he only wanted to drag Gu Nan down with him.

If he could watch Gu Nan die, then even if he couldn't make up for his loss, he could at least feel vindicated.

"Gu Nan, if you have the guts, then kill me!” Monk Nuxin shouted without cowering at all as he raised his head and put on a calm facade of having accepted death.

"Your perverse way of doing things has already made you enemies all over the world. Sooner or later, you’ll meet a tragic end!"

Monk Nuxin wasn’t actually a simple-minded fellow like Rending Mountain Venerable. He knew that he had nothing left, so he could only stand firmly on the opposite side as Gu Nan.

‘The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and Gu Nan has so many powerful enemies. As long as even a single person can help me a little, then this much loss is nothing!’

It had to be said that Monk Nuxin’s scheme was very shrewd. Just as his words fell, a new voice responded to him, "That is reasonable."

As the three words fell unhurriedly, another inexplicable will enveloped everyone present. Not even the Star Rulers could escape it.

A new feeling emerged in all of their hearts—they suddenly somewhat agreed with Monk Nuxin’s words, as if something the mysterious voice deemed "reasonable" truly was reasonable.

Some Star Rulers with fast reactions immediately realized what had happened, because Wang Li had already demonstrated this kind of thing moments ago.

"Another great Star Ruler on the edge of Unified Dao?"

Xue Ren frowned slightly while a woman in green appeared next to him. She was none other than Red Candle Heaven’s Green Lantern Fairy and stared at the horizon with a very unfriendly gaze.

"It's that old fart from the Graceful Academy," Green Lantern Fairy’s voice came out, immediately informing the surrounding area of the visitor’s identity.

Elder Fang—Fang Chaoyun of Graceful Heaven was also the head of the Graceful Academy situated inside Academic Heaven.

Fang Chaoyun was slightly weaker than Xue Ren and the others, but he wasn’t much weaker than most Star Rulers at that level. Moreover, because he was affiliated with Academic Heaven, he actually wielded more power and influence than his peers.

Gu Nan also raised his head. Based on his calculation, the visitor’s level was probably around Tier 10, having just reached the criterion for Tier 10.

Academic Heaven actually had powerful Tier 10 Star Rulers. As expected of one of the major astral worlds that ranked among the very front even within the Thirteen Heavens.

After saying the three words, however, Fang Chaoyun didn’t immediately appear. Instead, he continued, "My disciple Qi Bu died at the hands of Mr. Gu Nan. I am here to seek justice for him. Mr. Xue, please understand."

Fang Chaoyun was the most "reasonable" Star Ruler among the Myriad Heavens. Even the act of seeking revenge followed a prescribed pattern to the letter.

It was normal for such a teacher to produce a student like Qi Bu.

Xue Ren's eyes narrowed slightly, but he was slow to respond, nor did he have any intention of letting Fang Chaoyun into Extreme Sword Heaven. Instead, he glanced at Gu Nan first.

If Gu Nan didn’t want to meet Fang Chaoyun, then Xue Ren would immediately block Fang Chaoyun outside of his astral world.

With Xue Ren's position, he didn't have to fear Fang Chaoyun at all if he was determined to protect Gu Nan—except that way, Gu Nan’s astral world might not be able to survive.

"Graceful Heaven?" Gu Nan revealed a cold smile, but his reaction was beyond everyone's expectations.

His figure flickered, casually throwing Monk Nuxin aside and directly stepping into a portal. The Star Rulers with fast reactions hurriedly checked and realized that he actually… went straight to Graceful Heaven!

"I’m afraid he’s gone… crazy, hasn’t he?"

"He really did go crazy!"

"Running to Graceful Heaven to make trouble? Elder Fang can kill him with a slap of his hand!"

Even Xue Ren was taken aback, then shook his head with a chuckle. Gu Nan, this fellow, indeed defied expectations. His actions were completely outside of common sense.

Next to him, the Green Lantern Fairy's eyes lit up. She and Fang Chaoyun were feuding. If not for her apprehension about Song Fei, the one backing Fang Chaoyun, she probably would’ve gone to Graceful Heaven every day to make trouble.

Setting aside the crowd’s reactions for now, Gu Nan entered Graceful Heaven with one step and was greeted with a huge statue.

This was his first time in Graceful Heaven, and he also hadn’t conducted any investigations in advance, but one thing was very clear—the centermost part of the astral world was often the most important place in terms of status!

At the center of Graceful Heaven stood a giant statue of an elderly man in a long gown. He held a scroll of classic books in his hand, looking scholarly and righteous.

Without any thought, Gu Nan stood directly in midair and swung a fist at the old man’s head.

"How dare you!" A few roars came from below. A few Void Cutters in this academy had discovered Gu Nan's action.

But how could they stop it in time? They could only watch as Gu Nan's fist fell and the statue flickered with white light, as if a protective barrier had been triggered.

Unfortunately, this kind of mortal means was utterly useless against Gu Nan.

The barrier instantly shattered with a loud boom, and half of the statue’s head was smashed to pieces by Gu Nan.

But after doing this, Gu Nan turned around and ran without saying a word, returning directly to his Divine Kingdom.

Such a large commotion immediately caused countless scholars to run out and then look up in astonishment.

"An-Ancestor's statue…"

"Ancestor was smashed! No wait, Ancestor’s statue was smashed!"

Inside Extreme Sword Heaven, even more Star Rulers felt their jaws drop. Smashing a statue was nothing impressive and didn’t really say anything about one’s ability, but the problem was… this was Fang Chaoyun's statue!

‘I’m afraid they’ll be mortal enemies now…’

And it was even in a situation where Fang Chaoyun had spoken first, and during a time when Xue Ren sent invitations to the vast majority of Star Rulers, so the entire Myriad Heavens was paying attention to Gu Nan. Elder Fang lost face directly in front of every corner of the Myriad Heavens.

But how would Gu Nan deal with the repercussions? The rage of a top Star Ruler wasn’t so easy to withstand.

Sure enough, almost as soon as Gu Nan fled, an old man with a livid expression suddenly appeared next to the statue.

His figure and appearance were no different from the statue, only scaled down. He was none other than Fang Chaoyun himself.

"Gu Nan, you little thief!" Even with Elder Fang's self-restraint, he still couldn’t help swearing angrily, then ran directly into Gu Nan's astral world.

The reason he showed up in Extreme Sword Heaven was because the location of Gu Nan's astral world was exposed, and he was determined to seek justice for his disciple since Gu Nan could no longer move his astral world.

He never thought the other party would be so unbridled!

Within the Divine Kingdom, Fang Chaoyun's figure appeared over the Evil God Temple and announced with a dark expression, "Gu Nan, you killed my disciple first and destroyed…"

However, before he could finish, Gu Nan's figure suddenly emerged and threw a fist at him.

His response once again surprised the Star Rulers—faced with a powerhouse like Fang Chaoyun, Gu Nan still dared to make the first move.

Even if he was strengthened by his astral world, it hadn't even reached the level of a Realm Level plane yet. How could he dare to fight Fang Chaoyun?

Even Fang Chaoyun himself was amused. He didn’t retreat an inch and wrote out the character for "suppress" with a wave of his hand, which fell towards Gu Nan.

He wanted to use this one character to directly suppress Gu Nan inside his own astral world.

The instant the punch was about to hit the “suppress” character, the sky went dark.

Strengthened by the astral world’s power, shadows filled the sky and covered the sun.
