Since everyone present were Saints, all of them held good command over the power of dimensions.
They soon noticed the dimensional anomaly.
Both the God Emperor and the Demon Emperor headed to that part of space, and felt it out...
“That’s right!”
“Jiang He’s scent is here!”
“Moreover, this part of the dimensions is clearly different from the dimensions around it, having a special Dao presence as if it is abnormal!” The Demon Emperor’s eyes flashed right then. He promptly invoked a demonic spear and threw it at the abnormal dimension.
Oom!
That was when the Eight Trigram Canvas appeared and blocked the demonic spear.
“Are you serious about stopping me, Brother?”
There was an ashen look on the Demon Emperor’s face, though it was quite vague since his skin was black.
Taishang Laojun said nothing and merely waved his hand, invoking the Golden Realm Pagoda and the Flags of Five Elements as well.
Likewise, the Primeval Lord of Heaven said nothing, and quietly invoked Pan Gu’s Banner along with his Chaos Pearl.
Behind Taishang Laojun, the Grandmaster of Heaven sneered. Around him, Immortal Slayer, Immortal Butcher, Immortal Captor, and Immortal Cutter, his four innate paragon treasures of death, all took to the air, unleashing Sword Qi that cut through planets and shattered them.
With them, the Daoist of Guidance waved his hand, throwing out his Rank Twelve Golden Lotus of Virtue.
In split seconds, auras of several innate paragon treasures unfurled among the stars, radiating over dozen thousand of light years and leaving the Sky Horse constellation quaking without end. It instantly crumbled around them, its planets shattering and countless Sky Horses hence killed.
Even so, the Saints of the Three Realms said nothing, but their reaction was clearly violent!
We will protect Jiang He!
If you want a fight, a fight it shall be!
Kaboom!
Opposite them, the Demon Emperor’s erupted at full power as he charged and slammed into the Eight Trigrams Canvas. Beside him, the God Emperor released his frightening sacred aura while invoking a divine sword, slashing it toward the Golden Pagoda.
Both clones of the True Lord of Morality and Nothingness faced the God Emperor and the Demon Emperor respectively, and a frightening battle between Saints unfolded once more!
The Saints who arrived later felt their faces fall.
They stopped at the edge of the Sky Horse constellation, and watched the battle from thousands of light years away...
At the same time, several Saints from the Gods and Demons races invoked their innate paragon treasures, standing off against the Saints of the Three Realms.
“Damn it!”
The Grandmaster of Heaven cursed through gritted teeth then. “Last time around, only our senior brother fought while everyone else watched... I’m going to fight this time, too! Immortal-Killing Swords Array, up!”
He raised his hand, and all four swords hovering over his head shot forward toward the Gods and Demons’ Saints, drawing their furious curses. As they invoked their mystic treasures in resistance, someone even barked furiously, “You dare, Brother?!”
“I’ve already made my move! Did you think I wouldn’t dare?!”
Leaping forward, Grandmaster of Heaven charged and engaged his challenger—a Demon Saint—in a melee.
Soon, the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords kept the Demon Saint on the backfoot an ruptured his Saint form multiple times. Seeing that, a God Saint quickly invoked his mystic treasure in support.
Combining with the Demon Saint, sacred aura tangled and combined with sinister aura, instantly unleashing a combat ability that was multiple times stronger!
Even with the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords, the Grandmaster of Heaven could hardly win.
But suddenly, the Grandmaster of Heaven broke off.
He waved his hand, directing all four swords to hover amongst the stars and forming a sword array. Their brimming Sword Qi instantly withdrew, and their Dao presence as innate paragon treasures all disappeared.
Even so, the Saints all sensed a dire threat then!
No one would dare to underestimate the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array!
Standing upon it, the Grandmaster of Heaven flatly asked, “Brothers, would you dare to enter my sword array?’
Be that as it may, both the God Saint and Demon Saint traded glances, and stepped into the Sword Array together.
Another pair of God Saint and Demon Saint tried to enter as well, only to find a huge star slamming toward them and knocking the Demon Saint away. The star was blindingly bright and flickered with dull Chaos Qi...
It was the Chaos Pearl!
Dressed in his black robes, the Primeval Lord of Heaven strode out, intercepting both Saints and coolly said, “Let’s see what you’ve got!”
Both of those Saints opposing him were exceptional in abilities, but were not a match for the Primeval Lord of Heaven in a one-on-one fight. In fact, combining their abilities barely kept him at bay.
However, their abilities multiplied in power once their auras combined.
In the distance, the Daoist of Guidance’s eyes flashed, and he looked up towards the God Emperor and the Demon Emperor.
Both clones of the True Lord of Morality and Nothingness possess extraordinary ability, and did not lose out even if he fought the God Emperor and the Demon Emperor by himself...
“The Gods and Demons have completely different auras that somehow fuse perfectly... What is going on?”
The Daoist of Guidance’s heart raced. “If the God Emperor and the Demon Emperor could do that as well... Senior Brother is in danger!’
He turned toward the remaining Saints of the Gods and Demons then...
Those two races had four Saints respectively, minus the God Emperor and the Demon Emperor.
However, both races had stationed one Saint in each of their own territories. With the Grandmaster of Heaven and the Primeval Lord of Heaven fighting a pair of Demon Saint and God Saint each, only a single pair of Demon Saint and God Saint was left.
They saw the Daoist of Guidance looking toward them just then and their fighting spirit instantly soared. God and Demon auras combining, they charged at him in tandem.
“Brothers! Please stop, please stop...”
He promptly shrieked, and released the Rank Twelve Golden Lotus of Virtue to hold back the pair, along with a jeweled banner to attack them.
It was called the Jeweled Banner of Guidance, but it was an acquired virtue paragon treasure instead of an innate soul treasure. Its power did not lose out to an innate virtue paragon treasure, however, and it was enveloped in golden light identical to the golden light that the Jade Emperor’s virtue clone emanated. Containing Virtue Strength, each strike of the banner unleashes it as it bore down upon the Demon-God pair.
There was a look of compassion on the Daoist of Guidance’s face, and he sighed. “I told you to stop... why won’t you listen?”
That God Saint and Demon Saint were not actually powerful elites among the other Saints of their race. If one were to describe the Headed Insectoid Saint, Lord Swelling Sky and the Lesser Saint of the Western Sect were bottom feeders, these two were just a notch ahead of them.
It was only thanks to the fusing of Demon and God Qi that their power multiplied, and the Daoist of Guidance would have wiped the floor with them anytime he wanted if they did not work together.
“That’s what I thought!”
Nobody noticed that a single figure was standing in the distant stars.
It was the third clone of the True Lord of Morality and Nothingness.
Unlike the other two clones, this clone has not been seen by anyone else before, and was hidden even from the Celestial Will... of course, the True Lord of Morality and Nothingness paid dearly for it!
That being said, he had deliberately altered the clone’s personality so that it was completely different from his true form... for example, his true form was an unworldly and kindly Daoist devoted to his cause, and usually appeared as an elderly but spirited white-haired, white-bearded old man.
This clone, however, was wearing black Daoist robes.
He had the appearance of an old man as well, but his chiseled cheeks, bulging muscles beneath his robes, and irrepressible fighting will were clear signs that this clone had violent tendencies ingrained in his bone.
Staring at the God Emperor and the Demon Emperor, he muttered, “Those two wretches really are sly geezers... they actually saved that over endless eras... Demon-God fusion? Once their auras or even their bodies combine, they would definitely be able to unleash frightening combat abilties.
“They were saving this as a trump card to use against me, unaware that I have another trick up my sleeve.”
The black-robed figure—his third clone—licked his lips.

Meanwhile, Jiang He was inside the world in his body.
He was pressed for time, and did not even take the time to eat once he entered, choosing to farm right away instead.
As he sprinkled the ‘seeds’ and ‘crops’ among the stars, watching them shine in immortal light and matured rapidly, Jiang He could not help feeling a sense of pride.
Who else across all worlds could farm amongst the stars?
“Eh?”
He suddenly gasped in surprise then, “Why is the word in my body quaking? Could there be a battle out there which is so violent that it affects this place?”
