Chapter 540: Absolutely Vaporized!
Jiang He had over three hundred foreign pesudo-Overdeities under his command.
A dozen were killed in the battle at the Grand Luo battlefield while sixty self-destructed. Then, after Jiang He encountered the Nether River Patriarch at the entrance of the Grand Luo Battlefield, he had a handful of them self-destruct again.
At the moment, he had 280 foreign pesudo-Overdeities left.
At the moment, they were releasing their auras, sending tremors throughout outer s.p.a.ce.
“Go!”
“Enter the Sealing Array and self-destruct!”
Jiang He waved his hand, sending all 280 foreign pesudo-Overdeities into the array.
At the same time…
The thirteen Demi-Saints had just worked together to break down the first layer of the Sealing Array.
Even before they could celebrate their escape, they found more sealing arrays descending from the skies above. One of the Demi-Saints even bellowed an expletive, “d.a.m.n it! Our information did not mention that Jiang He is adept at arrays!”
“Even with all of us working together, it would still take us the time for three breaths to break his array. Across all known worlds, his technique puts him at the level of peak grandmaster!”
Despite being enemies, those Demi-Saints held sincere respect toward Jiang He.
It was truly unbelievable that a human who was less than a hundred years old could reach such a level, and there was little wonder why their patriarchs had all stepped in personally to eliminate him.
“Everyone, break the array!”
“If we force our way through, the one who sets the array would definitely suffer backlash as well—I’ll never believed that Jiang He could take it!”
G.o.d Boundless of the G.o.d race exclaimed on top of his lungs. However, just as he spoke, he turned around to find that the foreign pesudo-Overdeities had reacted them.
They came in various appearances, since they were cultivators from va.s.sal races of the G.o.ds and the Demons.
Be that as it may, they numbered up to 280—once they reached the sealing array, they began to charge their auras without a word!
As streaks of violent aura emanated, G.o.d Boundless’s eyes promptly widened in fear, and exclaimed in rage, “What are you trying to do? Stop… stop, right now! Break the array, break the array!”
“They are going to self-destruct!”
The other Demi-Saints could tell what the foreign pesudo-Overdeities were up to without needing G.o.d Boundless to shout it.
All thirteen Demi-Saints began to violently attack the array.
There had not been another single instant that pressured them like this.
Usually, they would not have thought much of the foreign pesudo-Overdeities and their abilities… but now, if those 280 foreign pesudo-Overdeities all self-destructed within this sealed array, even the Nether River Patriarch—who was said to never die if the Blood Sea was not destroyed—would be blown half to death, let alone them.
Even so, self-destruction was a matter of thought.
Once the 280 foreign pesudo-Overdeities entered the sealing array, they all did as Jiang He ordered.
Violent auras poured out of their bodies.
And in the very next second…
Kaboom!
All 280 foreign pesudo-Overdeities self-destructed at the same time with perfect synchrony.
The violent force of their self-implosion erupted instantly and engulfed the thirteen Demi-Saints, tearing apart and breaking through the soul treasures, protecting their bodies and the G.o.dly technique they used to guard their bodies!
Their physical bodies were reduced to dust without resisting for an instant.
Likewise, their spirits were vaporized once consumed by the explosion.
Boom!
The world quaked.
“What the h.e.l.l…”
Outside, Jiang He could feel the terrible explosive force within the array, and reached out with a grasping motion to pull both Dumbo and Trumbo into his farm. However, the array was torn apart in the next instant as the terrific force struck, hitting Jiang He just as he got both Dumbo and Trumbo into his Farm.
Splatter.
A jet of blood could be heard shooting out, and Jiang He fell on the beach of his Farm.
Because he braced it, neither Dumbo nor Trumbo were really injured.
Both cat and dog bawled after they landed, especially Dumbo.
It howled in anguish and yipped erratically, shrieking as he looked at Jiang He, who was left with nothing but bones, “Master, Master… what happened to you? Are you alright?”
Meow!
Trumbo was mewing pitifully as well, imitating Dumbo to shake the skeleton lying on the ground with its wooly palls.
Crack!
The skeleton fell apart.
Dumbo, Trumbo, and the maids who rushed to the scene were all dumbstruck.
“Gramps!”
“Gramps… how could you leave us like this?!”
Thud, thud…
The Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers all dropped to their news and started bawling as well.
Jiang He was speechless.
“Shut up, all of you! I’m not dead!”
His frail voice could be heard from the broken skeleton then.
Then, a golden radiance shone upon one of the ribs.
The radiance contained an eternal energy. It was the size of a rice grain at first, but soon became blinding… and covered the entire rib in moments.
In the next instant, the scattered bones began to rea.s.semble itself into a skeleton.
The golden radiance also extended so that the entire skeleton shone.
Flesh was sp.a.w.ning over the skeleton as well, restoring it to human shape, and Jiang He regained his previous appearance soon enough.
“Eternium is truly powerful!”
Jiang He exclaimed in awe. “If I had not ascended to Eternal, the fourteenth-tier of martial arts… the explosive shockwave just now would have destroyed my spirit… eh?”
As he spoke, he waved his hand, a screen of water forming before him.
Jiang He exclaimed in shock as he gazed at his reflection. “Why do I feel handsomer after rebuilding my body….”
Stepping out of the Farm then, Jiang He found that the shockwave from the 280 foreign pesudo-Overdeities’ self-implosion had faded, and a rain of blood poured across the stars.
Standing in outer s.p.a.ce, Jiang He looked out to find that everything his eyes could see had been reduced to oblivion. Skyfire Star, its satellites, any nearby planets, or asteroid fragments did not survive at all.
In fact, everything within billions of miles were left in pieces.
Jiang He searched around to find that there was nothing left of the thirteen Demi-Saint—not even sc.r.a.ps. Likewise, their mystic items, soul treasures, and storage items had all completely vaporized in the explosion.
As such, Jiang He scowled and could not help cursing, “d.a.m.n it… nothing left? Doesn’t this mean I’ve lost a lot in this battle?”
Using 280 foreign pesudo-Overdeities to kill a mere fifteen Demi-Saints… ending up without a single reward.
d.a.m.n it!
***
Meanwhile, various worlds in the G.o.d Realm and the Demon Realm were quaking and raining blood, as various phenomena occurred following the death of Demi-Saints.
On this day, the Abyss of the Demons shook amid the fury of the Demon Patriarch.
Likewise, the sentries and cultivators of the Sky G.o.d Mountain all felt a frightening pressure—then, the G.o.d Patriarch summoned the other three Saints and the handful of Demi-Saints guarding the G.o.d Realm to the mountain for a rant.
On the other hand, the Six Saints of the Three Realms had all gathered in front of a straw hut.
Glee showed all over their faces.
That was especially true for the Primeval Lord of Heaven, who had spoken to Jiang He before. Laughing while stroking his own beard, he laughed, “Fifteen Demi-Saints… and they are the G.o.ds and Demons’ a.s.sets which had acc.u.mulated over endless days. With this, they would never win against the Three Realms unless they wage a war between Saints!”
