Tens of thousands of Little Buddhas had already reached the stats of Rank Six Lesser Sacred Masters.
If they all used their skills together, they would be quite terrifying as well.
Of course, as some of the Little Buddhas could not use their skills as they were out of range, only around six thousand of them could actually attack the barriers erected by the Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise, and the Undying Stone Apes.
But even then, the three barriers would only hold for around 5 seconds.
“Eat them!”
A Little Buddha said as his little palm extended toward the stone wall, and all the Lesser Buddhas around him attacked at the same time.
As soon as they extended their palms, a golden shadow in the shape of a palm would violently shoot out and slam at the stone wall.
Boom!
Crack…
The first round of attack immediately crushed the wall of stones.
Next, they quickly struck again and crushed the black ice shield.
Once the black ice shield was crushed, they headed downward immediately.
Just as they were rushing down, the Black Tortoise Tribe and Undying Stone Apes once again used their defensive skills.
This time, they had altogether used around five layers of defensive skills to block the Little Buddhas’ assault.
The Little Buddhas were still babies and they were not that intelligent despite being humanoid monsters. When they saw the new layers of defenses, they all stopped in the air and continued attacking.
This time, they had only managed to break through two layers of barriers, but the Black Tortoises and the Undying Stone Apes added another layer as the Little Buddhas attack.

Jiang Feng, who was within the flaming cocoon, felt that his body was melting.
Despite possessing the Golden Fire Sacred Domain, the golden flames that burst out during his evolution skill caused him great pain.
Not only was his fur much brighter during this evolution, but he had also grown a pair of wings behind his back as well.
Correct. Wings!
He let out a bitter smile as his body began to complete his evolution.
“It’s going to be hard getting used to having a pair of wings so suddenly.”
As he had not completed his evolution, his wings were not biologically connected to him yet, and he could not give it a flap.
***
Just as Jiang Feng was evolving within the fire cocoon, the battle outside raged on and it became more intense as time went by.
The Little Buddhas were getting closer to the five Sacred Tribes. If that were to continue on, the Little Buddhas would surround them in less than 5 minutes.
“Roar!”
At this time, the members of the White Tigers had somewhat recovered and joined the defense.
The White Tigers’ return had lessened the burden on the other three tribes.
“Roar!”
The Green Dragons had also finished healing themselves and joined the defense.
Even though the White Tigers and Green Dragons had very few defensive skills, they had plenty of offensive skills. They then used their offensive skills defensively.
In an instant, a large swathe of skills crashed into the Little Buddhas.
The White Tigers would slam their claws into the ground and raise their proud heads. There was a tiger roar, and several hundred White Tiger phantoms would rush toward the Little Buddhas.
When the Little Buddhas saw it, they clasped their hands together and began to chant the Buddhist mantras. A giant Sauwastika appeared before them and kept on spinning, forming a defensive barrier that would keep on absorbing the White Tigers’ attacks.
The Green Dragons took into the air and unleashed a dragon howl and instantly caused many of the Little Buddhas to enter into a daze and stopped their attacks.
When they saw this chance, Ling Luo, Red Boy, and the rest of the five Sacred Tribes would attack the dazed Little Buddhas. Unfortunately, there were simply too many of the Little Buddhas. Before their attack could even reach them, another group of Little Buddhas quickly used their defensive skills to block their attacks.
“No. The children are going to attack us from all sides. We won’t be able to hold long!” Ling Luo said with a frown.
“Hold on! When the Shifter Emperor has completed his evolution, he might have a way to deal with them!” Said the Patriarch of the Vermillion Birds.
Just as the five Sacred Tribes, Ling Luo and Red Boy did their best to buy time for Jiang Feng, Hundun quickly flew through the blood mist. Every time he would enter a cloud of blood mist, the mist would disappear as his powers increased.
Hundun’s Bloodline Purity had already been maxed out as his stats kept on increasing.
“Haha! Very good! Ling Luo, hold on a bit longer. I can go and consume them if you can buy me some time to absorb the blood mist!” Hundun said with a laugh as it zoomed past Ling Luo and her group. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in another cloud of red mist.
“Hmph~ Hundun is not someone that can work with others, is he?” Ling Luo said with a huff as she slammed her feet on the ground angrily when she saw that Hundun was not going to help.
“No, we can’t hold any longer!”
As soon as Ling Luo said that, the Little Buddhas from the sky above all use another wave of skills at them.
Unlike previously where it only came from one direction, this time the skills came from all around them, and that was why the attack was far more aggressive.
In just an instant, all the defensive barriers were destroyed.
The five Sacred Tribes, Ling Luo and Red Boy were exposed.
“Fight to our last breath!” Ling Luo and Red Boy yelled out as they put on their game faces and looked at the Fire Cocoon next to them.
They were the Shifter Knights. If Jiang Feng was in danger, they had the duty to be his shield and to protect him until the end. That was the meaning of existence for the Shifter Knights!
“Berserk! Activate!”
“Slaughter! Activate!”
“Indifference! Activate!”
Ling Luo immediately activated all three statuses.
In the next moment, her eyes were red as she called her Void Nightmare to battle, and rushed toward the Little Buddhas.
“Berserk! Activate!”
“Slaughter! Activate!”
The five Sacred Tribes and Red Boy entered into the Slaughter status, and their eyes had similarly turned red and attacked the Little Buddhas from all four directions.
They did not enter Indifference, as once they enter that state of mind, they would not be able to control themselves and might hurt their own allies.
Boom!
The sound of battle did not stop.
Unfortunately, even if the members of the five Sacred Tribes had entered the state of Slaughter and their powers surpassed the Little Buddhas, there were simply too many of them. Within the first four minutes, members of the five Sacred Tribes had begun to suffer losses.
A White Tiger had been killed, and the Little Buddhas all swarmed toward it and consumed that White Tiger’s corpse, leaving nothing behind. It was extremely terrifying.
“Roar!”
The White Tigers were furious and all of them used their skills on the swarm of Little Buddhas that ate the corpse of the White Tiger.
Some of the Little Buddhas were slain by the wave of skills.
The corpses of the Little Buddhas that had been killed all formed into little Sariras[1]*, and they were then consumed by the nearby Little Buddhas.
The Little Buddhas that ate the Sariras instantly had their stats greatly increased, and they became even stronger.
Boom!
As the battle became more intensified, the flaming cocoons below immediately burst open.
“Stand back, everyone! I will deal with them!”
The flaming cocoon burst open and a golden monkey with a pair of golden wings appeared on the ground.
The monkey was Jiang Feng, who had completed his evolution!
Jiang Feng took out the Lianyao Flask and put all the members of the five Sacred Tribes, Ling Luo and Red Boy that had retreated into the flask. He then extended his hand and Deicide appeared. He rode on his Void Nightmare and moved toward the tens of thousands of Little Buddhas.
[1] Sarira (Singular) is a term to refer to the pearl-shaped objects that were said to leave behind by the cremated remains of Buddhist monks.
