Chapter 594: Eternal

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Demon-God Emperor had murder all over his face as he dashed across the stars!

Demon and God Qi swirled around him, and he crossed entire constellations with each warp—he would reach the Machines’ realm from the God Realm in a little over two hours!

As a matter of fact, the gap between the God Realm and the Machines Realm was more than half the distance of the Realms Proper, and normal spaceships would never cross it even after a hundred thousand years!

And behind the Demon-God Emperor, the other six Gods and Demons Saints were pushing forward as fast as they could.

“Contact the Machines and confirm Jiang He’s position!”

The Demon-God Emperor instructed through acoustics then. “Both Machines may move to intercept Jiang He if necessary. I’ve blocked the signs so that the True Lord of Morality and Nothingness and the other Three Realms Saints would not sense it anytime soon. And after we slay Jiang He, we will work with the other Machines to destroy the Three Realms.”

“As long as the Machine Patriarch fulfills his promise, we shall share half of the Celestial Battlefield after we destroy the Three Realms!’

After ten minutes or so passed, however, one of the Demon Saints reported, “There’s no reply from the Machines, Patriarch.”

“Keep trying!” the Demon-God Emperor said icily with a scowl. “Jiang He must not be allowed to escape!”

That was when his expression, along with those of his Saints, changed.

“The two Machine Saints are fighting Jiang He already?”

The Demon Saint who was in charge of contacting the Machines laughed. “It seems that they had received our transmission just now. Right now, they’re attacking and holding down Jiang He for us!”

After all, Saints would cause a huge commotion whenever they fight, with the Demon-God Emperor and the other Saints being able to sense it even from the distant stars.

“Oh, no!”

The Demon-God Emperor suddenly growled. “Hurry forward—once they clash, I can no longer hide the signs that easily from the True Lord of Morality and Nothingness! It would be difficult to kill Jiang He if they were to rush to the scene!”

Hence, the Demon-God Emperor and his Saints accelerated forward, instantly crossing several constellations as they charged thousands of light years ahead.

Just then, the Demon Saint who was in charge of contacting the Machines suddenly whipped out his communications jade charm—it was flashing without end, and he was left dumbstruck after feeling it a little.

“What happened?” The Demon-God Emperor frowned.

“It’s a distress signal from the two Machine Saints, Patriarch! They have each lost a clone, and Jiang He is hunting them down…”

“Impossible!” cried the Demon-God Emperor in shock. “He only became a Saint recently! There’s no way he’s that powerful—keep trying to contact the two Machine Saints!”

The Demon Saint fiddled with the jade charm for a long while, and shook his head. “I can’t reach them.”

“What?”

The Demon-God Emperor’s expression darkened as he pressed, “Is that jade charm broken?”

“It’s not… perhaps they have no time to respond because they are being hunted.”

In the end, they were still too far away from the Machines’ realm. Although the Saints would cause serious ruckus when they fight, all the Demon-God Emperor sensed was the two Machine Saints fighting Jiang He, and there was no way they could clearly sense the outcome of the fight.

***

Meanwhile, at the Throne of Seven Holies in the Three Realms, Taishang Laojun, who was seated in meditation with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.

He made a minor divination and softly cried, “Oh, no.”

In the next instant, he was shouting on top of his lungs at the Primeval Lord of Heaven, the Grandmaster of Heaven and the Daoist of Guidance.

“Jiang He is fighting at the Machine Realm, while the Demon-God Emperor has led his Saints to help the Machines. Depart immediately to the Machine Realm—I’ll go on ahead!”

Whoosh!

The True Lord of Morality and Nothingness disappeared instantly from the Throne of Seven Holies, and was at the edge of the Celestial Battlefield when he appeared again.

His voice rang beside the ears of Nüwa and the Daoist of Tranquility then.

“Stay back and defend the Three Realms. Don’t let any interlopers enter!”

With another flash, the cosmic reaches rumbled.

Much quicker than the Demon-God Emperor, he had reached the Bloods when he appeared again!

Long-distance warping was dependent on a person’s mastery over space and time, and who in the Realms Proper had such enlightenment aside from the True Lord of Morality and Nothingness?

***

In the depths of Chaos beyond the Realms Proper existed a mysterious alternate dimension, laden in black metals and its skies overflowing with a metallic luster.

And in the center of this location was a statue, massive and metallic but curiously shaped.

Its upper body was human, but had the form of a machine with tentacles from the waist down.

It was so massive that it stood over dozen thousand miles tall in the center of the alternate dimension, as if it had been there for eternity.

Oom!

A planet abruptly crashed through space and entered the alternate dimension from the outside.

The planet landed, and the lithosphere opening on its own as it forming a passageway.

The interior resembled the control room of a space ship.

There was a projection within, landing in a flash in the android shell of an old person, and he dropped to its knees with a thud.

“Master!”

“You told me that you would return after one universal century… but it’s already three universal centuries now! When are you coming back?”

***

Meanwhile, the one-sided battle in the Machine Realm continued.

The Great Saint and Second Saint of the Machines were trying everything they could to make a dash toward the depths of space, even as a surge of figures pursued them from behind. Each of them was clones of Jiang He, wearing the same clothes and having the same face, looking no different from the man himself…

Most importantly, their auras were basically identical—all of them were Saints!

In fact, once the 129,600 Saint clones all appeared, both Machine Saints were left bewildered.

It would not be a far cry to say that they were now questioning life.

Who am I?

Where am I?

How did a youngling human from the Three Realm, who had only recently become Saint, cultivate so many clones?

Why did the Celestial Will allow a mere Saint to materialize so many clones at once?

Isn’t it afraid that they would destroy the Realms in their wake?

Earlier, both Machine Saints were vaporized almost instantly. Even if their ascension were inspired by technology, they had also copied the cultivation of other Saints, creating future and past forms with certain special measures.

And after they were destroyed, their past forms materialized and they began to run as fast as they could.

But where could they run o?

Every planet and planetary system of the Machines were blowing up consecutively. Being chased by so many clones, the Machine Saints’ clones were soon chased down and destroyed!

“Stop!”

“Jiang He!”

Fearful now, the Machines’ past form manifested out of thin air as they shrieked, “You won’t get a thing even if you kill us! You would instead incur the wrath of our patriarch, who is the disciple of an Eternal! He would soon come, and he would destroy the Three Realms if you kill us!”

“The Demon-God Emperor is also bent on killing you. He’s brought all his Saints and is arriving soon, and you would still have time to run if you spare us!”
