Demon-G.o.d Emperor!
The True Lord of Morality and Nothingness suddenly roared in rage, invoking his Eight Trigrams Canvas as he charged toward the Demon-G.o.d Emperor.
Clearly, he was not going to let the Demon-G.o.d Emperor finish his divination.
Nonetheless, the Demon-G.o.d Emperor cast a G.o.dly 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 PaG.o.da in his hand, he charged toward the Demon-G.o.d Emperor once more. The Demon-G.o.d Emperors face fell thenhe had yet to divine anything, but he had a hunch from the True Lord of Morality and Nothingnesss reaction.
Something serious must have happened to the G.o.ds 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-G.o.d Emperor did not hold back from unleas.h.i.+ng his G.o.dlike techniques.
With his overwhelming power, he unleashed various signature moves belonging to G.o.ds or Demons, which were in turn greatly strengthened by his fused G.o.d-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-G.o.d 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 G.o.d 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 G.o.d 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-Saints 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 Saintsthe True Lord of Morality and Nothingness, for examplehad 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 cant 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 G.o.d Realm? The Three Realms would never have peace as long as the G.o.d Emperor lives!
Such was the threat a Saint posed.
Only races with Saints would earn the t.i.tle of hegemons in this universe.
Saints were invincible, but would have a hard time killing another Saintas such, if you slay the other members of a Saints 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 G.o.d-Demon alliance warred over endless eras.
Im only destroying the G.o.d Realm and not the G.o.ds!
Jiang He shot back flatly. The day would eventually come when I would personally crush the heads of the G.o.d 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 G.o.d 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 Skys 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 circ.u.mstances, 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 Hes 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 Hes 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 Skys 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, G.o.dland was shrouded beneath the might of the Twilight of the G.o.ds, and Lord Swelling Sky was pulverized again, right after he reformed his body.
His soul bellowed in rage, You cant kill me, Jiang He!
As long as I survive on this day, the Three Realms would not know peaceEh?
Lord Swelling Skys 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 Swordinnate paragon treasures of death both, abruptly shot out, tearing through the skies above G.o.dland 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 Skys 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 Skys 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 G.o.dland.
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 G.o.dlike techniques lingering.
Though Jiang Hes orders was to ma.s.sacre 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 G.o.dland, and the very shockwaves from their G.o.dly techniques left the many smaller cities in ruined, while any G.o.d beneath Golden Immortal would have their soul torn into pieces.
Moreover, the treasures and resources in various G.o.d cities were plundered entirely, and even the G.o.d Emperors 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 G.o.d Emperor if he wanted revenge.
An hour later
Kaboom!
The air blew up.
The Demon-G.o.d Emperor, who had the combined auras of G.o.d and Demon, descended from the skies. Seeing G.o.dland in ruins and knowing that Jiang He was responsible, he promptly roared, Ill kill you, Jiang He!
***
Beyond G.o.d 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, Youre back, Senior Brother? Wheres the Demon-G.o.d Emperor?
Save that for later. Lets return to the Three Realms first.
The Three Realms? Why?
Jiang He grumbled reluctantly. Well soon reach the Demon Realm. We would still have time to plunder it before heading back!
True Lord of Morality and Nothingness was dumbstruck.
