Still, the deaths of fifteen Demi-Saints did not make the Gods and Demons retreat.
Instead, they became even more determined to kill Jiang He!
It was rumored that the Saints of the God and Demon races had come, intending to ask for some powerful Demi-Saints to help the Demi-Saints of the God and Demon races kill Jiang He together, but not many would agree.
Both the Gods and Demons were the hegemons of the universe.
Be that as it may, even after they had recruited dozens of vassal races to their side, they were only on equal footing with the Three Realms over endless years. The other neutral races would usually avoid both sides as much as they could, and would they dare to interfere in their conflict?
Of course.
It was inevitable that there would be those who had their heads kicked by donkeys, and would be moved by the Gods and Demons' promises of profit.
…
At the celestial battlefield.
The Demons' base.
The Demons had occupied a flourishing constellation in the celestial battlefield, and one of their superior beings had personally altered the stars, moving every living planet in the constellation to a river of stars, turning it into a colossal war base.
The entire river of stars was an ancient array.
In times of war, the river of stars would form a great wall that spanned thousands of light-years.
And right now, twenty-seven Demi-Saints were gathered on a massive living planet that was almost a hundred thousand kilometers in diameter at the center of the river of stars.
The Gods, Demons, and their vassal races had mobilized thirty Demi-Saints to fight Jiang He, and that made thirty-two with the Nether River Patriarch and the Stoner Patriarch.
Now that Jiang He had killed fifteen of them and the Nether River Patriarch had been subjugated by the Primeval Lord of Heaven, there were only fifteen Demi-Saints left.
That was why the twenty-seven Demi-Saints were the elites dispatched by the Gods and Demons in the later stages … it was no exaggeration to say that the Gods and Demons had basically sent out all their Demi-Saints.
They had considered the possibility of those people being wiped out in one fell swoop, but after some consideration, they still decided that killing Jiang He was more important!
Moreover, the patriarchs of the Gods and Demons had divined the cause of the deaths of the fifteen Demi-Saints … one could say that Jiang He had wiped them out in one fell swoop only because of carelessness.
If they were not trapped in the array, Jiang He would not have been able to kill all fifteen Demi-Saints even if he had sent dozens more pseudo-Overdeities to self-destruct.
The Saints of the God Race and the Demon Race had already informed the other Demi-Saints.
The 27 Quasi-Saints each held a jade slip in their hands.
The jade scroll recorded the latest information about Jiang He.
A mechanical warrior whose entire body was suffused with a metallic sheen sat upright on the throne, and he said with astonishment, "Cultivated for over a dozen years … Equipment Refinement Grandmaster, Alchemy Grandmaster, skilled in formations … Cultivation at the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm … Moreover, it's extremely likely that this isn't his true cultivation?"
"Is there a mistake in the information?"
The robot warrior smashed the report on the table and sneered. "Although I've never fought against humans, I know that humans are naturally weak. Which of those Great Heavenly Demi-Saints didn't cultivate for countless years to achieve what they have today … Can a human brat who has only cultivated for a dozen years really reach this stage?"
At the side.
One of the Gods said flatly, "My master would not value Jiang He so much if not for that."
The master that the God champion was referring to was the patriarch of the Gods.
He was the first disciple of the Gods' patriarch and the strongest elite beneath Saints. Even if he could not match the likes of Nether River, the Grand Mage of Xuandu, or the Stoners in terms of ability, he was not that far off … and he could rank top ten Demi-Saints across worlds!
The machine warrior was an elite that the Saints of the God Race and the Demon Race had invited to assist them.
The machine race was a hegemon of the universe as well.
However, in terms of strength, they were far inferior to the Three Realms, the God race, and the Demon race … The Automaton race had 'Saints', but there were only two of them. Moreover, the strength of these two 'Saints' was ordinary, and they were at the bottom of the Saints.
There were also several other elites who had come to assist them.
Most of them were untitled cultivators.
Of course.
They were certainly not your average untitled cultivators who could cultivate to this level … some of them were once beings of a certain race in the universe, but were forced to wander the stars after their race died out.
One of them was a burly man with a golden horn on his head.
He was a member of the cosmic behemoths, a special lifeform of the universe.
However, Astral Beasts were extremely rare in the first place, and there were less than a million of them in the entire universe … A million years ago, a calamity befell the 'home' of the Astral Beasts, resulting in the annihilation of a million Astral Beasts. Now, only a small number of Astral Beasts roamed the universe.
Then, as the first disciple of the Gods' patriarch spoke, the Demi-Saints began to study Jiang He's information.
"How many more elites with unusual strength did he enslave? We might not be able to stop him if he were to command dozens or even hundreds of them to self-destruct! "
"Everyone must work together if we want to kill Jiang He. We cannot afford to be careless, or some of us would die!"
The many Demi-Saints formulated a plan.
That was when a Grand Luo barged in.
He was the Grand Luo who stood guard over the Demons' base. Looking flustered, he arrived before a Demi-Saint Demon and whispered into his ear.
"What?"
The Demi-Saint Demon's face dropped and he promptly rose to his feet, roaring, "For real?"
"What's going on?"
The other Demi-Saints turned toward him, while the Demi-Saint Demon scowled and said, "I've received word that Jiang He had led a cat and a dog to attack the Sky Billowing Constellation an hour ago."
"What?"
The Demi-Saints of the Gods all rose to their feet, disbelief showing all over their faces.
The Sky Billowing Constellation was the Gods' base in the celestial battlefield.
One of the Demi-Saints of the God race took out a communication jade talisman. He had received the news as well, and his expression darkened. "Nine living planets have been destroyed, a Grand Luo has fallen, and 1.6 million elite Divine Guards of our race have perished."
"Damn it!"
The many Demi-Saints of the Gods gritted their teeth, wanting nothing more than to eat Jiang He alive.
Meanwhile, three of the Demi-Saints cast their moves to teleport away.
Another Demi-Saint God's face twinkled and he said, "Everyone, it seems that we have to come up with a new plan … that Jiang He does not play by the rules, and he would ambush us a second time once we leave the constellation to look for him."
"Hah …"
A Demi-Saint Demon with a powerful aura sneered. "Do you think it's so easy to ambush the Demons' territory?"
Even as he spoke, the Grand Luo from before ran in again with a weird look on his face and said, "My lord, I've received word that Moyin had just entered our encampment."
"Who?"
"Moyin!"
"Moyin is already dead. Who gave us that information?"
The Demi-Saint Demon was furious, but his face dropped in the next instant and he exclaimed in shock, "Oh, no …"
…
"Tut, tut …"
Ten light years away from the constellation that the Demons had occupied, Jiang He was instructing Dumbo, Trumbo, and the others to count the corpses on the ground.
There were thousands of corpses lined up in a single row, all of them being elite God soldiers wearing the standard armor of the Gods.
"Leave all Golden Immortals!"
"Throw those below Golden Immortal to the Cloudscraper Vines as fertilizer … by the way, keep their medicinal pellets and mystic treasures. No matter how small they are, they are still meat, aren't they?"
At the same time, he was looking at the distant river of stars where Demonic Qi was seething, muttering, "I wonder if the brat Moyin could make it …"
Hence, Jiang He led Dumbo and Trumbo in ambushing the Gods' encampment.
The result was considerable.
Still, it was not much.
Just as he was about to attack the Demons' encampment, Moyin volunteered, claiming that he was familiar with the location of the Demons' treasure vault. Moreover, he had been in charge of several treasure vaults when he was alive and had the keys to open them …
Hence …
Hence, Jiang He sent out Moyin and several Grand Luo Demons he had planted.
His orders were simple.
They would do it if they could get their hands on treasures, or self-destruct in the Demons' encampment if they could not, and blow up as many lives as they could.
"Don't blame me for being merciful since you people want to kill me … by the way, now that the Sky Demons' patriarch is dead, my grudge with them should be settled." At that thought, Jiang He summoned Lord Skyless from his Farm and instructed, "Take ten Grand Luo with you and take over the Sky Demon Constellation."
"Ahem …"
Beside him, Dumbo whispered, "Master, you used the wrong proverb. It should be ruthless."
