Ronaldo scored his first Al-Nassr goal last week against Al-Fateh, which took him to 499 league goals.
And he broke the 500 mark in emphatic fashion to move further away from Messi.
The striker buried a left-footed finish in the 21st minute before scoring a one-on-one before half-time.
After the break he converted a penalty and added his fourth at the second time of asking after seeing his initial effort saved.
Ronaldo now boasts an impressive 503 league goals – but rival Messi is not far behind.
In fact, the Argentine could even overtake Ronaldo this month with PSG playing four more games in February.
Messi has scored 490 league goals, with 474 coming while he was at Barcelona.
The 35-year-old has been in impressive form for PSG this season with ten goals and ten assists this season.
