Skyfire Star was the main planet of the Skyfire System, and the Skyfire King's palace was built on that living planet which was almost a hundred thousand kilometers in diameter.
Skyfire City.
Skyfire City was the largest and most prosperous city on Skyfire Star.
And the Skyfire Palace was built inside the city itself.
Aside from the native cultivators of Skyfire Star, almost half of the city was inhabited by alien lifeforms.
All of them were untitled cultivators of all sorts, and there were many unique lifeforms in the universe.
Outside the city gates.
A cat and a dog were strutting into Skyfire City.
The cat and the dog were both standing on two legs.
The dog was wearing a pair of floral pants and aviator sunglasses, and was walking with his legs splayed out, giving off the impression that he was arrogant.
The black cat, on the other hand, was much more composed.
It was walking like a cat, its front paws behind its back and wearing presbyopic glasses, giving it the air of an unsmiling old pedant.
The cultivators who were walking along the streets ignored the cat and dog.
There were many unique lifeforms in Skyfire City.
A three-eyed giant, an eight-armed lover, a beautiful woman with the upper body of a woman, a centaur with the lower body of a horse … there was nothing special about a cat and a dog.
Of course.
That was mainly because Dumbo and Trumbo had withdrawn their auras.
Otherwise, they would be the center of attention wherever they went with their auras that were comparable to peak Grand Luo.
The cat and dog went straight to the Heavenly Fire Palace and were stopped by the Heavenly Fire Palace's guards.
"I want to meet your Skyfire King. Please inform him."
Trumbo took out an inferior-grade immortal item and discreetly shoved it at the guard, offering him a fist-palm salute like a human would.
There was no telling what the guard's race was.
He was over ten feet tall and wielded a spear. His crude and ugly face had only one eye, which was the size of a bowl and was whirling in a rather peculiar manner.
There was a flash of greed in his single eye as he grabbed the immortal item, and he quickly stuffed it into his robes, coldly saying, "Scram!"
"How noble is our king?"
"Do you think he's someone that any random cat or dog can meet?"
Those words had a different meaning in Dumbo's and Trumbo's ears.
Furious, Dumbo knocked the one-eyed guard off his feet with a swipe of its paw and roared, "You dog! Who are you looking down on?"
It reached out to retrieve the inferior-grade immortal item, glaring at Trumbo and grumbling, "I told you this wouldn't work. We're here to cause trouble, not guests, so why be so polite? Can't we just kill our way in? "
"What a disgrace, what a disgrace!"
Trumbo shook its head.
That was when another group of guards lunged at them. Dumbo promptly turned around and bellowed —
"Woof!"
A dog's bark shook the heavens and the earth. Wind and thunder surged.
Bolts of lightning instantly struck down, killing the entire group of guards.
Dumbo's body expanded into a thousand-feet long dog, and with a howl, it crashed through the walls of the Skyfire Palace.
"Skyfire King!"
Dumbo roared in rage and charged deeper into the Skyfire Palace.
"How dare you!"
A Grand Luo flew out from the depths of the Skyfire Palace, barking angrily and attacking Dumbo, only to be maimed and forced to flee after a few moves.
That Grand Luo was not the Skyfire King, but an untitled cultivator who was merely a novice Grand Luo.
That was when the Skyfire King finally could not sit still.
He flew out of the palace and turned into a flame giant, standing in the air with fiery eyes as he growled, "Brother, could there be some misunderstanding between us?"
The Skyfire King's heart skipped a beat when he saw Dumbo's face.
A black dog that could match a pinnacle Grand Luo?
Could it be …
The one that Jiang He was said to be a human?
Dumbo, however, did not give the Skyfire King much time to think and promptly cursed, invoking a mystic treasure to blast it away.
It had attained Dao by cultivating an Overdeity's divinity.
Its ability would definitely be a class lower than the Overdeity's predecessor … but one should know that Dumbo had cultivated the Overdeity divinity of Zeus the Thunder Body, the Father of the Western Gods.
Zeus's ability could match a Demi-Saint, and Dumbo's ability was definitely at the pinnacle of Grand Luo even if it was slightly inferior after cultivating his Overdeity divinity.
The Heavenfire Monarch was somewhat overwhelmed by the bombardment of magic treasures.
At the same time …
The Skyfire King was certain of Dumbo's identity.
"Legend has it that Jiang He's dog did not attain Dao through the proper path … its aura and Dao presence are definitely different from the superior daemons."
The Skyfire King retreated as he fought, even discreetly sending word to his confidant …
His confidant then quickly passed the news to the Devil Race powerhouse. Naturally, the Devil Race powerhouse had to report the news to the higher-ups as soon as possible.
…
In outer space, 380,000 kilometers away from Skyfire City.
Jiang He's combat ability hovered in the air, his Dao presence swirling around him to conceal his presence.
Hu Mei, Boa, the Wise Rock Monkey, and the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers had already been kept in his farm.
Standing in outer space and looking down at Skyfire Planet, Jiang He could clearly sense the battle erupting there.
Jiang He could not help being amused when he heard Dumbo's unusual barking, and promptly communicated to it through acoustics, "Take it easy … Trumbo, just watch from the sidelines. Wouldn't the Skyfire King be killed instantly if the two of you attacked together? How would you attract the elites of the Gods and Demons then? "
From Jiang He's perspective …
If the Skyfire King really was a spy of the Demons, word would quickly spread once Dumbo and Trumbo showed up, and the Demi-Saints of the Gods and Demons would soon reach Skyfire Planet.
He had even set up a four-in-one array of sealing, killing, defense, and illusion.
Even so, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Jiang He's cultivation time was too short, and most of the battles he fought in his life had happened on Earth … it would not take him long even if he ran to the Sky Demon Constellation to ambush the legion of the Hundred Races Alliance.
Even so, the vastness of outer space was boundless … the distance between Earth and the Sky Demon Constellation was not even worth mentioning.
When the Demons received the news, they immediately relayed it to the Demi-Saint Demon who was in charge of hunting Jiang He, who promptly summoned the Demi-Saints of their vassal races, the Gods, the Gods, and the Demons, as well as the Stoners and the Nether River Patriarch. However, it was unrealistic to gather them all within a short time.
For example, the Stoners' realm was at the edge of the universe and dozens of planetary sectors away from the celestial battlefield. Even if they kept casting spatial warping and used some warp portals along the way, it would take some time for them to arrive.
…
Meanwhile.
In one of the planetary sectors controlled by the Gods in the celestial battlefield.
Several demonic silhouettes were standing in the skies of a barren planet.
They were all Demi-Saints of the Demon race and each of them possessed overwhelming power. The faint Demonic Qi they emanated was causing the barren planet to tremble.
Moments later, several auras that were entirely different from the Demi-Saints of the Demon race landed on the planet as well.
They were Demi-Saints of the God race.
After the two groups of elites met and conversed, one of the God race elites said, "That Jiang He kid is extremely cunning. The patriarch had said that it's fine if he doesn't make a move, but if he does, he must be killed … we alone are not a hundred percent sure that we can kill Jiang He. Why don't we wait patiently for a few more days? Once the others arrive, we'll immediately charge toward Skyfire Star. When that happens, we'll lay down an inescapable net, and Jiang He will die without question!"
Heh!
Another Demi-Saint Demon laughed coldly. "Aren't you being a little too cowardly, God Infinity?"
"Jiang He, the human, is merely a Grand Luo."
"I've looked into his intelligence before. He's merely enslaved a bunch of foreign elites through some method, and it's only by self-detonating that he could threaten a Saint … with nine of us Demi-Saints working together, do you really think we can't handle a Grand Luo?"
There were five Demi-Saints of the God race and four Demi-Saints of the Demon race present.
The Demi-Saint of the God race who was addressed as God Infinity scowled and said unhappily, "The patriarch himself gave the order. Are you going to take responsibility if anything goes wrong?"
An argument ensued.
On the second day, another two Demi-Saints of the God race, two Demi-Saints of the Demon race, as well as three Demi-Saints of vassal races arrived.
One of the three vassal races did not look too different from the human race.
However, there was a frightening Demonic Qi emanating from his body. His name was the Sky Demon Emperor, and he was the patriarch of the Sky Demons.
His cultivation was Demi-Saint pinnacle, and his combat ability was among the third tier of Demi-Saints across worlds.
The Demi-Saint Demon was cursing incessantly, yelling about leading his men to attack Skyfire Planet.
Even so, the Demi-Saints were not in a hurry.
They had lived for endless years, but in truth, they cherished their lives even more.
All of them were aware of Jiang He's intelligence methods. Enslaving elites and then self-destructing … not even the Nether River could resist that, let alone them.
Hence, they waited for another three days.
However, within these three days, only one foreign race Demi-Saint had arrived.
It was a Demi-Saint of the Stoners.
Though the Stoners had no Saints, they were one of the strongest races in the universe, and naturally had more than one Stoner Patriarch. Aside from him, there were three other Demi-Saints.
"Our patriarch has been secluding himself in our ancestral grounds. I've received word that he has moved and would reach the celestial battlefield in ten days."
The Stoner Demi-Saint said.
Another Demi-Saint of the God race added, "The Nether River Patriarch has agreed to help, but he has chosen to do it in secret."
"It would take three days for the others to get here. Now that we have fifteen Demi-Saints, including the Sky Demon Emperor, God Infinity, and the Demon Ying Sect, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to kill Jiang He?"
"Let's go!"
The Demi-Saint Demon who had shouted before could not hold back any longer and cried out, "We have fifteen Demi-Saints, and yet we don't dare to kill a single human Demi-Saint? Wouldn't we become the laughing stock of all races if word got out?"
…
"Damn it!"
Outside Skyfire Planet.
Jiang He was listless and cursing, "It's been almost ten days … where are the elites of the Gods and Demons?"
"They promised to kill me … but they're not moving even after so long … could the Jade Emperor's information be wrong, and the Skyfire King is not a spy of the Demons?"
Hence, Jiang He transmitted, "Dumbo, Trumbo, full power!"
That was when Jiang He's expression changed and he promptly turned toward the distant stars.
A look of ecstasy appeared on his listless face.
"They're here!"
"They're here!"
"They're finally here!"
