Zhu Bajie’s power was limited. He was slightly more powerful than the gods but slightly weaker than the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother.
While Ling Feiyu had the power to revive members and NPCs of those from the Shifters Faction, Jiang Fan could not guarantee that his mother’s power had any effect on someone so powerful.
Especially when Ling Feiyu had not logged in for several months already, and there was a gap between their powers and hers. Her skills were also not at a high enough level, it would be very difficult to revive powerful Shifters.
That was why when Jiang Fan saw Tathagata’s duplicate attack Zhu Bajie, he immediately moved to help him block this attack.
Boom!
The attack was still surprisingly fast. However, Jiang Fan managed to make it in time and used the Heavenly Path Demesne to block Tathagata’s attack.
Pfft!
The attack immediately caused him to gain the Heavy Injury and Fatigue statuses as his body was thrown away.
“Little Fan!” When Zhu Bajie saw what happened, he was shocked as he quickly flew over and grabbed him.
When he had Jiang Fan in his arms, Zhu Bajie was filled with guilt when he saw that Jiang Fan had already fainted.
This time, they were here in order to save Fairy Violetglow, Chang’e, and Grandmaster Bodhi. His lover was among them, but because of his own carelessness, he had almost caused his death. That was why he was feeling that guilt.
“I am so sorry, Little Fan! It was my fault!” Zhu Bajie grabbed Little Fan and flew toward the Moon Palace, leaving the battlefield.
Jiang Fan’s retreat instantly caused increased pressure on Nezha and Yaotian.
They were struck back by the two Tathagata duplicates, but luckily they were well prepared and had only lost some Sacred Health.
After Sun Wukong had killed the Queen Mother, he quickly made his way there and helped Nezha and Yaotian hold back the other duplicate.
Si-Si and Modi used the chance when the barriers were disabled to save Fairy Violetglow and Chang’e.
To stop them from being killed, Si-Si then hid them in a dimension pocket since they were still too weak.
As for Grandmaster Bodhi, he was powerful enough to be compared to Yaotian after his power was restored. However, he still could not be compared to Sun Wukong.
When Grandmaster Bodhi appeared, a fly-whisk appeared in his hand. With a wave, a green aura flew out and blocked one of the duplicate’s attacks, blocking an attack that was directed toward Nezha.
Sun Wukong blocked another attack and was wounded. He quickly swallowed a pill and then said to everyone, “Find the Shifter Emperor and we must then leave here quickly. Tathagata’s duplicates are too difficult to destroy. If we continue the fight, we might be defeated one by one!”
The reason that they came to the Heavenly Palace was for a rescue, and not to cause an upheaval.
Not to mention that with their current power, it was not possible to do that. Tathagata had just sent three of his duplicates and they were already in trouble. If Tathagata were to send another one or two duplicates, they would all be forced to stay here. None of them would be able to escape!
“You wish to go? Why not stay here forever?!” One of Tathagata’s duplicates said plainly as another duplicate appeared. That meant that there were four of Tathagata’s duplicates currently active.
“We are done for!”
When they saw the four duplicates, everyone’s faces turned pale. Even Sun Wukong was feeling hopeless.
He was not afraid of death. But the people that he cared about and loved were here. He did not want them to leave him.
But they were quite powerless when facing four Tathagatas.
Boom!
Each of the four Tathagata duplicates launched a palm strike. The attack was very quick. Sun Wukong, Yaotian, Nezha, and Grandmaster Bodhi were immediately struck away.
They all had some defensive skills, but the attack was too sudden, and they were all instantly injured.
Not only that, Modi, Si-Si, and Zhu Bajie were all damaged by those attacks. Their Sacred Health was instantly reduced by two-thirds, and they were almost killed.
Four Tathagata duplicates were able to overpower everyone present, and even instantly cause a few of them to lose the ability to fight.
“Die!”
The four Tathagata duplicates yelled out coldly and attacked all of them once more, preparing to kill everyone present in one fell swoop.
Boom!
It was at this time when the space around them began to ripple as a figure appeared in front of them.
The one that appeared in front of them was none other than Jiang Feng that had managed to fuse with the ten Demesnes.
After he appeared, he waved his hand and everything stopped in their tracks. Even Tathagatas’ attacks were also stopped.
He then used this opportunity to take out the Lianyao Flask and pulled everyone inside.
Time Stop was not that effective against Tathagata’s duplicates. They were only frozen for one second before they broke through it.
Seeing that the four attacks were about to fall on him, Jiang Feng snorted coldly and took out his Deicide in its staff form. He then slammed it toward the four gigantic palms.
Boom!
The Deicide let out an ancient aura as it attacked, and everything seemed to be reverted to its most primal state and disappeared.
Tathagata’s duplicates’ attacks were then easily dispelled.
“The Demesne of Chaos! You have comprehended the Demesne of Chaos!” All four of Tathagata’s duplicates all looked at him in shock.
The Demesne of Chaos was the origin of all the Demesnes. In order to form the Chaos Demesne, one would need at least ten Demesnes.
In Divine Dominion, forming just one Demesne took considerable effort, but he had ten?
“Tathagata! Wait for me! In three months, I will see you in the Greater Leiyin Temple!” Jiang Feng said to him and disappeared from the Heavenly Temple.
When Tathagata’s duplicates saw that he was leaving, they did not stop him. As Jiang Feng had already formed the Demesne of Chaos, though he was still not that skilled with it, it was not possible for them to force him to stay.
As soon as Jiang Feng disappeared, two of Tathagata’s duplicates transformed into the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother. One of the duplicates transformed into one of the gods that had been slain. The last one disappeared into thin air.
Not only did Tathagata lose some of his powers, but Jiang Feng was also able to save Fairy Violetglow and the others. There was anger burning in his heart.
“Three months? Three months is all I need to fully recover. And then, it will be the time for you to die!” The newly formed Jade Emperor said coldly as he clenched his fists.
***
Tianyu City, Steward’s Residence.
The surrounding space rippled and Jiang Feng appeared within Tianyu City.
Pfft!
As soon as he reappeared in Tianyu City, Jiang Feng spat out a mouthful of blood and entered into the Fatigue state.
He lay on the ground as he struggled to breathe. “Cough cough… I didn’t expect that Tathagata would be so powerful. Even the Chaos Demesne only managed to dispel a portion of the four duplicates’ fully powered attack. Most of it still managed to damage me!”
The reason he chose to leave and did not kill Tathagata’s duplicates using the Demesne of Chaos was that he was already injured when he blocked their attacks using the Chaos Demesne.
The Chaos Demesne had only been formed, and it was still in its infancy. It had not yet matured. Not to mention that using it once would expend too much of his stamina, it could not be relied upon for extended battles.
