Jiang Feng became extremely excited after obtaining the Spatial Barrier skill.
After his initial excitement and stabilizing his feelings, he looked up and continued observing the Little Buddhas filling up the sky as well as that golden Buddha.
According to the Divine Monk Xumi, all the Little Buddhas were groomed by Tathagata to become his gods and buddhas.
That meant that when the Little Buddhas have completed their grooming, they would become the Heavenly Palace’s gods and buddhas on Dragonquarry.
He suddenly remembered a classic television series called the Epilogue to the Journey to the West.
In the series, the buddha Wutian had replaced Tathagata and used some special means to create fake gods and buddhas.
Tathagata in the Divine Dominion was probably planning to also create a batch of new gods and buddhas.
Since he had killed many of the gods when he was at the Divine Dominion Continent’s Heavenly Palace. Some of the gods’ souls did not go to Dragonquarry, and those that went to Dragonquarry were not that powerful.
They needed to groom a batch of powerful meat suits.
The Divine Monk Xumi was very clear about it when he said that the Little Buddhas would be groomed to become gods and buddhas.
And it was very possible that the Little Buddhas would become the gods’ specially grown meat suits. Or perhaps the Little Buddhas would replace the original gods, and become fake gods.
“Shifter Emperor, should we leave this place soon? I think this place is getting creepier by the second,” Ling Luo said to Jiang Feng as she felt nervous after scanning around and looking at the creepy Little Buddhas in the air.
Jiang Feng then looked further into the sky. He was not sure when the entire place had become red, but it had become very frightening.
Bang! Bang!
Next, something even scarier happened. The monsters that were lying on the ground had exploded one by one, transforming into a mist of blood before floating into the air.
Hiss…
All the Little Buddhas sitting on the silken road had stopped chanting the mantras, and all stood up and began to consume the blood mist.
As they consumed it, their stats kept on increasing.
In just a dozen seconds, the Little Buddhas that had consumed a large amount of blood mist had reached the power of a Rank Six Lesser Sacred Master.
“So these monsters are used to raise the Little Buddhas! What a perverse way of doing things!” Jiang Feng’s fists tightened when he saw that, and he was enraged.
All the monsters that had been captured and sent in here for the Little Buddhas were all high-ranking monsters. If they were not captured, they would be a great help to the Shifters during the Great Divine-Infernal War.
It could be said that Tathagata was using the bloodlines of the Shifters to strengthen his faction.
Not only would this weaken the Shifter faction, but this would even strengthen the Buddha faction. It was killing two birds with one stone!
That being said, he had nothing against anyone killing monsters since the monsters in the game would keep on respawning. Not to mention that the game would be completely defunct if they could not kill any monsters.
However, all the monsters that were lying on the ground had become faithful to Tathagata. That meant that Tathagata was using his own disciples to groom and feed his own buddhas.
It was very undignified to use such a way to kill monsters.
“Enlarge!”
Deicide appeared in his hand as he called out coldly. It began to grow larger and larger.
He swept his staff across the air, and many of the silken roads in the air were torn apart and hundreds of Little Buddhas were thrown into the air.
“Kill…”
The Little Buddhas that had been thrown out stabilized themselves in the air as their eyes locked into him. With a cold cry, they all came straight toward Jiang Feng.
“Hehe… Shifter Emperor, the blood mists that the monsters turned into were very useful. Not only can they be used to heal wounds, but they can also increase your attributes.” Hundun’s voice came to him just when he saw that the Little Buddhas were about to attack him and he was ready to leave.
“Heal injuries? Increase attributes?” Jiang Feng was slightly stunned when he heard Hundun’s words. He did not expect that the blood mist that the monsters exploded into would have that kind of effect.
If the five Sacred Tribes could absorb the blood mist and heal their wounds and restore their powers to their peak, they would become very valuable allies to him.
When that thought crossed his mind, he released the five Sacred Tribes and Red Boy from the Lianyao Flask.
“Green Dragons, White Tigers, Vermillion Birds, Black Tortoises, Undying Stone Apes! Heed my command! Consume the blood mist around you and heal yourselves!” Jiang Feng said to the eight or nine hundred tribesmen of the five Sacred Tribes and then turned to Ling Luo and Hundun.
“Both of you, come with me and we will stop the Little Buddhas!”
“Are you joking, Shifter Emperor? There are tens of thousands of the Little Buddhas up there. How are the three of us supposed to stop them?” Ling Luo said as she shot at the head of a Little Buddha with her sniper rifle and then rolled her eyes at Jiang Feng.
“No matter what, we have to buy them some time!” Jiang Feng said as he rode the Void Nightmare and rushed toward the tens of thousands of Little Buddha.
Before they could even get close, he held the giant Deicide and swept it toward them.
Boom!
The Little Buddhas that were rushing toward them were once again struck away.
When the members of the five Sacred Tribes heard Jiang Feng’s orders, they all rushed into the blood mist and kept on draining the blood mist.
The bodies of the White Tigers and Green Dragons that were originally drained by the Insectoids into walking mummies were slowly becoming filled with life again after absorbing the blood mist.
As for the Vermillion Birds, Black Tortoises, and the Undying Stone Apes, their powers kept on increasing as they drained the blood mist.
After striking away a group of Little Buddhas, Jiang Feng also used that chance to get a mouthful of blood mist.
Ding. System Prompt: Bloodline Purity +0.1%, Sacred Blood +100.
‘Hm? I didn’t expect that it could increase Bloodline Purity as well. This is some good stuff. I should evolve now. If I can consume the blood mist after my evolution, I can evolve once again very quickly!’
Jiang Feng became very excited when he thought about that, and yelled out to everyone, “All of you, surround me and protect me! Stop them from attacking!”
With that, he took out a High-Level Evolution Pill and ate it.
Whoosh!
A golden fire cocoon wrapped him up in the flash of an eye.
Next, he gritted his teeth as he endured the long-awaited burning sensation.
…
“The Shifter Emperor is evolving! Do not let those children get close to him!” Ling Luo and Red Boy who were riding on their Void Nightmares guarded the flanks of the fire cocoon.
Meanwhile, Hundun headed toward where the blood mist was even denser.
Many of the Vermillion Birds, Black Tortoise, and Undying Stone Apes were not that heavily injured. Some of them were not injured at all and still had their power. They stood in front of the fire cocoon.
The White Tigers and Green Dragons that had suffered much more grievous injuries protected the rear of the Fire Cocoon, and they kept on absorbing the blood mist to heal the wounds on them.
“Flaming Barrier!”
“Black Ice Shield!”
“Defending Fortress!”
…
The Vermillion Birds defending in front unleashed a gigantic blazing barrier in unison, surrounding them all within.
The Black Tortoises also created a colossal black ice shield together, surrounding the outside of the flaming barrier.
The Undying Stone Apes smashed the ground. As the ground cracked opened, cylindrical pillars shot out from the ground and formed a wall outside the black ice shield.
In order to guarantee Jiang Feng’s safety during his evolution, the three tribes used three different types of defensive skills which could at least get around ten minutes for Jiang Feng.
