How powerful would a Saint's self-implosion be?
The two Machine Saints had blown up dozens of planetary systems when they did, and that is only because they cultivated through technology. Being bodies of machines and positioned in the Machine Realm itself, they actually held back their explosiveness.
Under normal circumstances, a single Saint would be able to destroy half a constellation with a single strike, and their self-implosion would be much more powerful than their full-powered strikes!
In other words, a Saint's self-destruction would have no problem blowing up an entire constellation.
As such, how powerful would a thousand Saint's simultaneous self-implosion be?
If spread out to occupy one constellation each, Jiang He's clones would be able to blow up each one thousand constellations instantly. In fact, if he was feeling ruthless and sent out every clone he had, he definitely could blow up the Realms Proper!
It is general knowledge that space is vacuum, and sounds cannot be conducted here.
That was why the one thousand Saints self-destructing did not sent reverberation across worlds, but Jiang He's mind seemed to hear that terrible rumble just by watching that sight.
The frozen dimension was instantly torn apart, and Jiang He sneaked into the world within his body with just a thought.
On the other hand, the Demon-God Emperor was not that lucky.
Being at the center of the 1, 000 clones, he did not even have the time to curse before the frightening explosion consumed him. Even so, his incredible survival instincts and reflexes pushed him to cast the most powerful defensive technique he had, along with a handful of protective soul treasures.
And yet...
It was useless!
Before the monumental force, technique and mystic treasures were no different from paper—everything was instantly wiped out, just as the Demon-God Emperor was.
The explosion did not disappear right after the Demon-God Emperor was pulverized, and instead surged across every direction up to dozen thousands of light years... it only died down slowly until the sea of stars was completely consumed.
All of the Realms Proper seemed to quake in that very instant, with countless elites sensing the reverberation through Dao.
At the same time, apocalyptic scenes appeared in both the God Realm and the Demon Realm.
The sea of stars where Jiang He confronted the Demon-God Emperor was between the God Realm and the Demon Realm, and the shockwave from the one thousand Saints-yield explosion vaporized many cosmic bodies at the edge of the God Realm and the Demon Realm, killing countless Gods and Demons.
Every God Saint and Demon Saint were left astonished when they sensed it.
Oom!
Up in the skies of the God Realm, a figure descended.
With his existential mark, the Demon-God Emperor was revived out of the River of Time, Demon Qi and God Qi combining around him as he seethed with every of his atoms.
"Jiang He!"
"You will die!"
"I'll kill you by a thousand cuts and seal your soul into a mystic treasure, and kept there across endless ages!"
Indeed, the Demon-God Emperor had blown his top.
He did not lose out to the True Lord of Morality and Nothingness in power, and as an innate Demon-God born naturally into the world, he was powerful from the very start!
However, that will also be who he is forever.
In other words, his Dao and might were a constant ever since his birth. Though he tried countless ways such as splitting divinity from demonic nature and then creating two powerful races in the Gods and Demons, even dabbling in virtue and destiny, he only gained a fraction of power over endless ages.
In fact, his Dao enlightenment was not that powerful compared to the average Saint.
That was why pausing time was merely a direct sign of how powerful he was... of course, the most important reason was that Jiang He is weaker when it comes to his enlightenment towards Temporal Dao.
Moreover, the Celestial Will of the Realms Proper held a grudge against the Demon-God Emperor since he was an innate Demon-God, too. It was too difficult for him to cast his existential mark into the River of Time, and he only had two clones: one past form, one future form!
And one dead clone means it could never be replaced!
Meanwhile, even as the Demon-God Emperor cursed at Jiang He, the other God Saints and Demon Saints were all shaking in their boots, afraid to even breathe too loudly.
As for the Demon-God Emperor, his face fell after a few curses as he remembered something...
"Oh no!"
"The Demon Realm... is finished!"
He knew perfectly well that Jiang He would definitely go to the Demon Realm... and he did not dare to be reckless now!
Before this, he had been filled with confidence that Jiang He's 800 clones would be useless against him.
And it was true!
Once he froze time, neither Jiang He not his clones could move.
Even so...
The Demon-God Emperor never would have dreamed that Jiang He would willingly blow up his Saint-tier clones... after all, it was just a matter of thinking it, and no matter how powerful was his enlightenment towards Dao had been, he could not freeze thoughts either!
Moreover, Jiang He had blown up 1, 000 Saint-tier clones, not just 800!
It left the Demon-God Emperor hesitant...
Did Jiang He have more Saint-tier clones?
Why else would he detonate them in a heartbeat, without any qualms?
The Demon-God Emperor took a deep breath as he worked hard to calm his mind then.
The Demon Realm... did not matter now.
It was not as if the Demon Realm being pillaged after the God Realm had been was unacceptable.
On the other hand, if he left to stop Jiang He again, he would not be able to stop the brat from throwing more self-destructing clones at him again...
However, he might stand a chance if he were sitting tight in the God Realm and using the things that he laid out in the God Realm over endless eras!
***
Blargh!
In the world in his body, Jiang He coughed out a mouthful of blood.
There was a terrible look on his face even as he charged Eternium and Esoteric Word: Healing to recover, and he could not help complaining, "I merely blew up my clones... but I still suffered a backlash?"
"A thousand clones left me coughing blood and a migraine... Wouldn't I blow up as well if I detonated 100, 000 clones?"
Soon, Jiang He decided that he would watch himself if he is going to detonate more clones.
A handful was enough, since that is enough to kill any Saint.
Not only would his body suffer, but the Realms Proper might not survive either... in fact, the explosion just now was soon violent that even the world in his body quaked. It was fortunate that he had suppressed that force, or thousands of the planets in his body would shatter from the quaking!
After a while, Jiang He stepped out of the world in his body.
There was only oblivion outside.
The sea of stars, that were the size of a dozen constellations, had vaporized completely, with huge spatial rifts lingering everywhere. The dimension turbulence in turn stirred waves of space storms, building into streaks of beautiful but extremely dangerous space aura.
Jiang He whipped out his phone then and snapped a few pictures.
There was no internet in space, but the phone just needed to be charged for photography.
And having cultivated to his level, Jiang He only need to think it to charge his phone.
After taking a photo and putting away his phone, Jiang He rushed toward the Demon Realm.
Just then...
Oom!
Space and time stirred, and two figures appeared before Jiang He.
It was the True Lord of Morality and Nothingness... along with a human silhouette without a face, appearing to be half-air and half-solid.
"Eh?"
Jiang He's gaze shifted as he sensed a curious aura form the silhouette, and he instantly realized who that was.
"Senior Brother..." he murmured uncertainly."Is that a clone of the Celestial Will? Why are you hanging out with him?"
