Chapter 581: Jiang He Slays A Saint
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Demon-God Emperor!”
The True Lord of Morality and Nothingness suddenly roared in rage, invoking his Eight Trigrams Canvas as he charged toward the Demon-God Emperor.
Clearly, he was not going to let the Demon-God Emperor finish his divination.
Nonetheless, the Demon-God Emperor cast a godly ability to send the Eight Trigrams Canvas flying, before turning to fly toward the Realms Proper.
“Trying to run?”
“Have you asked for my permission?”
The True Lord of Morality unhurriedly invoked his Flags of the Five Elements then, shrouding over millions of miles in the Chaos.
With the Eight Trigrams Canvas above his head and the Golden Realm Pagoda in his hand, he charged toward the Demon-God Emperor once more. The Demon-God Emperor’s face fell then—he had yet to divine anything, but he had a hunch from the True Lord of Morality and Nothingness’s reaction.
Something serious must have happened to the Gods and Demons.
“No way…”
“Our two races would be fully capable of holding out against the Three Realms… but what is this fear I feel? Could some neutral hegemon defect to them?”
Despite the many thoughts that crossed his mind, the Demon-God Emperor did not hold back from unleashing his godlike techniques.
With his overwhelming power, he unleashed various signature moves belonging to Gods or Demons, which were in turn greatly strengthened by his fused God-Demon aura. As such, even the True Lord of Morality and Nothingness only amounted to an equal match for him.
However, holding him down was already enough.
‘Guerilla tactics would delay the Demon-God Emperor by an hour before he could return to the Three Realms… Hurry up, Jiang He!’ The True Lord of Morality prayed inwardly.
At the same time, the three God Saints who were still fighting the Daoist of Guidance, the Grandmaster of Heaven, and the Primeval Lord of Heaven respectively at what was left of the Sky Horse Constellation all sensed that something was afoot. Even so, they were unable to leave right away.
***
Meanwhile, at the God Realm…
Jiang He was repeatedly beating Lord Swelling Sky to a pulp.
He sighed quietly when he saw Lord Swelling Sky rapidly regenerate his divine form without much weakening in his aura.
“I guess it is true that Saints are invincible… a Demi-Saint’s soul might be left maimed and hibernating if I beat it up just as many times, but Lord Swelling Sky is still very much alive and kicking!”
To kill a Saint, one must destroy their existential mark that they kept in the river of time.
However, most Saints had three bodies that existed in the past, the present, and the future. It is by killing all three bodies that they could truly die, but certain powerful Saints—the True Lord of Morality and Nothingness, for example—had total control and understanding toward Temporal Dao, leaving their existential mark in countless timelines…
As such, how was anyone supposed to kill such a being?
Even if their present form was destroyed endlessly, weaklings like Lord Swelling Sky would have a past form… and that was only the information given by the Three Realms. After all, it was not impossible for this wretch to secretly develop another existential mark to manifest a present form.
“You can’t kill me, Jiang He!”
Having noticed that as well, Lord Swelling Sky laughed maniacally even as he reformed his divine body. His eyes breathing flames and his jaw clenched, he roared, “So what if you destroyed the God Realm? The Three Realms would never have peace as long as the God Emperor lives!”
Such was the threat a Saint posed.
Only races with Saints would earn the title of hegemons in this universe.
Saints were invincible, but would have a hard time killing another Saint—as such, if you slay the other members of a Saint’s race, it was a release for them. Without anything holding them back, they would only become more powerful than before!
It was also the main reason why there was no obvious outcome after the Three Realms and the God-Demon alliance warred over endless eras.
“I’m only destroying the God Realm and not the Gods!”
Jiang He shot back flatly. “The day would eventually come when I would personally crush the heads of the God Emperor and the Demon Emperor!”
That was when his heart palpitated weirdly, and he could vaguely see a powerful being with the fused auras of God and Demon charging back from the Chaos.
He immediately understood that it was his danger sense tingling.
“Dumbo, send word to have the others end things quickly!” Jiang He exclaimed, suddenly bursting forth to destroy Lord Swelling Sky’s body once more.
This time, in the instant when Lord Swelling Sky was beaten into pieces, Jiang He raised his hand and lightly pressed on the air.
Ooom!
Around him, the dimensions began to distort, and the tiny pieces that was the pulverized divine body of Lord Swelling Sky froze mid-air.
This was the first time Jiang He had seriously employed Temporal Dao in a battle.
He had used temporal acceleration on himself while stagnating time for Lord Swelling Sky… since Jiang He was a new Saint, his mastery of Temporal Dao was better than novice Saints’ thanks to Esoteric Word: Dimension, but only equally matched against Lord Swelling Sky.
Under normal circumstances, he would have trouble using Temporal Dao against Lord Swelling Sky, but he was in pieces… even if he was not dead since his mind and soul survived, nullifying Jiang He’s stagnated time would take time.
Boom!
The stagnated time was eventually nullified.
The motionless, scattered blood and flesh converged in the next instant, rapidly reforming Lord Swelling Sky.
“Found it!”
Jiang He’s eyes lit up then.
After destroying Lord Swelling Sky multiple times and inspecting multiple times then, he finally noticed the clues and found Lord Swelling Sky’s existential mark.
Invoking Esoteric Word: Power, his combat abilities multiplied by tenfold and he unleashed the Fist of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. All at once, Godland was shrouded beneath the might of the Twilight of the Gods, and Lord Swelling Sky was pulverized again, right after he reformed his body.
His soul bellowed in rage, “You can’t kill me, Jiang He!”
“As long as I survive on this day, the Three Realms would not know peace…Eh?”
Lord Swelling Sky’s bellows suddenly turned to a shriek, “No… Jiang He, stop!”
Right then, Jiang He had charged Esoteric Word: Power to its limit. The dimensions around him were distorted and endless traversed through the distorted dimensions. Above his head, the Yuan Killer Sword and the Infinite Pain Sword—innate paragon treasures of death both, abruptly shot out, tearing through the skies above Godland with a loud whoosh, slicing through the air.
It appeared empty, but Jiang He sensed something different about that specific location after Lord Swelling Sky rebuilt his body repeatedly.
It was folded in layers like a pancake.
Within the depths of that location, flow of time was also different there compared to the outside.
Lord Swelling Sky’s existential mark was kept there.
“No!”
Lord Swelling Sky screamed, his fragmented body disappearing entirely then.
Jiang He then scooped out with his hand, catching Lord Swelling Sky’s lifelong treasure and staring at thin air for seconds, flatly saying, “You will die entirely the next time I attack you, Lord Swelling Sky!”
He now had the experience, and was confident that he could find other existential marks belonging to Lord Swelling Sky across the dimensions.
Nonetheless, the sense of danger ringing in his head was becoming more distinct. Not daring to stay a moment longer, Jiang He called out to Dumbo and the others and escaped.
After they left, the dimensions quaked and Lord Swelling Sky stepped out from within.
It was his past form, which he had manifested with his existential form in the past, not to mention that his abilities were clearly weaker than just now…
He glowered as he surveyed Godland.
The city, which was still standing gloriously an instant ago, was now entirely debris, with one out of ten beings left alive amid its vastness… countless buildings collapsed, with the shockwaves from various godlike techniques lingering.
Though Jiang He’s orders was to massacre all beings above Golden Immortal-tier, the weakest individual among Dumbo and the others was Demi-Saint. Moreover, they would not deliberately hold back when they were supposed to slaughter Godland, and the very shockwaves from their godly techniques left the many smaller cities in ruined, while any God beneath Golden Immortal would have their soul torn into pieces.
Moreover, the treasures and resources in various God cities were plundered entirely, and even the God Emperor’s palace vault was half cleared-out.
That was only because the center of the palace was protected by arrays, or it would have been uprooted entirely.
“Jiang He!”
Lord Swelling Sky growled, but there was nothing he could do.
Now, his ‘present form’ was destroyed, leaving him with his ‘former form’ and the ‘future form’ he recently condensed. Moreover, his ‘future form’ was not that powerful compared to his present form, and since his ‘present form’ was destroyed, he could not improve abilities ever again…
That means he could only rely on the God Emperor if he wanted revenge.
An hour later…
Kaboom!
The air blew up.
The Demon-God Emperor, who had the combined auras of God and Demon, descended from the skies. Seeing Godland in ruins and knowing that Jiang He was responsible, he promptly roared, “I’ll kill you, Jiang He!”
***
Beyond God Realm, the True Lord of Morality and Nothingness disappeared in a flash.
He kept streaking through the cosmos and caught up to Jiang He at a constellation near the Demon Realm. Hence, he quickly materialized and got in his way.
Jiang He exclaimed in shock, “You’re back, Senior Brother? Where’s the Demon-God Emperor?”
“Save that for later. Let’s return to the Three Realms first.”
“The Three Realms? Why?”
Jiang He grumbled reluctantly. “We’ll soon reach the Demon Realm. We would still have time to plunder it before heading back!”
True Lord of Morality and Nothingness was dumbstruck.
