There was only one Tathagata Buddha who seemed powerful, one of the few in the Ziwei Heavenly Court whose strength could match that of the Great Emperor Ziwei.
But even if he were in trouble, it wouldn’t matter much.
Mount Ling had just joined the Ziwei Heavenly Court, and the Tathagata Buddha worked for the Heavenly Court mainly to ease the relationships and temper the impulsiveness on both sides.
If one were to say that there was a deep affection between them, it naturally wasn’t the case.
"If you want to kill them, there will be chances later. Once the Heavenly Emperor returns, we fear no one and can kill anyone we want," Baize said somewhat excitedly.
"Indeed, our fathers have found a way. Even if it won’t annihilate future living beings, they can still return to the Three Realms. It truly is a great joy."
On this matter, the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow also felt some delight.
His father had contacted him, making it clear they would return soon.
Methods to return from beyond the domain were already found.
What needed to be done now was to implement the method and return sooner.
The method had been found, and for Emperor Jun and the others, returning was no longer a problem, a bit more time for arrangements and they could return.
Actually, although the beings beyond the domain attacked them fiercely, they had grown accustomed to it.
With the fortresses long built to block those outside beings, it was actually not difficult.
The reason they mentioned that beyond the domain was too harsh was merely to seek sympathy from the beings of the Three Realms and to avoid resentment from other Ancient Gods when they returned.
Don’t think that there are few powerful beings in the Three Realms; in fact, many Ancient Gods are hidden, who never bother with worldly affairs.
A large portion are in slumber, but many more are silently observing the world.
"Indeed, wait for His Majesty to return. Our days of suffering are finally coming to an end," Baize said, somewhat excitedly.
They looked at each other, each seeing the excitement in the other’s eyes.
The grand battle involving Sun Wukong had reached a climax.
The Senior Commander-in-Chief, having exhausted all means, finally managed to fend them off.
Sun Wukong and Yang Jian, unable to kill the adversary promptly.
They had underestimated the Senior Commander-in-Chief, who turned out to be even more fearsome than Shao Siming in battle.
Initially, Sun Wukong and the others thought that although the Senior Commander-in-Chief was stronger than Shao Siming, aside from defense, he wasn’t very competent in combat.
Only now did they realize how wildly wrong they were; the Senior Commander-in-Chief was excessively powerful, his offensive capabilities as exceptional as his defense, with virtually no weaknesses.
If it weren’t for their bravery, they probably would have been suppressed by the Senior Commander-in-Chief.
Initially, they had a slight upper hand, but once the Senior Commander-in-Chief grew accustomed to their combat rhythm, he gradually turned the situation around.
The two sides fought to a standstill, neither able to get the better of the other.
This was not a satisfying outcome for Sun Wukong and the others.
They had come to kill the Senior Commander-in-Chief, and continuing , it would be difficult to eliminate him.
But even when Sun Wukong and Yang Jian burst forth with power, they could only maintain a deadlock.
"This Senior Commander-in-Chief has formidable strength. There were rumors that during ancient times, his power was already on par with Supreme beings. Now it seems that the rumors are probably true. After all, his incarnation is so powerful, it’s not unacceptable that his true form could be comparable to a Supreme being," Baize said, somewhat astounded by the Senior Commander-in-Chief’s strength.
In that vein, the lineage of the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi has two Supreme level powerhouses.
Upon returning to the Three Realms in the future, this lineage would pose a powerful threat.
However, the Tenth Prince of the Golden Crow wasn’t very worried. He smiled faintly and responded, "There’s no need to worry, teacher. It’s true that the Senior Commander-in-Chief is a Supreme level powerhouse, but my two mothers are also not weak, both are Supreme level powerhouses as well. The Supreme powerhouses on our side will only be more, not less, than theirs."
Baize smiled, thinking of the two Empresses.
The Sun Goddess and the Moon Goddess Changxi.
As Emperor Jun’s consorts, their strength goes without saying, added to their status as Ancient Gods who emerged from the Primordial Era. Naturally, their power is great; stepping into the ranks of the Supreme was not surprising.
With their backgrounds and talents, it would be more surprising if they weren’t Supreme powerhouses.
Moreover, they were Emperor Jun’s women.
Seeing Baize’s smile, the Tenth Prince of the Golden Crow also smiled happily.
He knew Baize had accepted the facts and no longer worried.
At that moment, amid the ongoing battle, a sudden change occurred.
A golden light, flying out from the far vacuum, flashed past, then transformed into the Cicada Child’s form.
The Senior Commander-in-Chief let out a roar as he was cut at the waist. Meanwhile, as the Cicada Child attacked him, a third of his origin was instantly devoured.
Now, not only did the Senior Commander-in-Chief suffer severe injuries, but his origin was also significantly depleted.
Sun Wukong and Yang Jian immediately burst forth, their attacks like a violent storm, overwhelming the Senior Commander-in-Chief.
She already felt it; the Senior Commander-in-Chief was in grave danger of being slain at that moment.
No one had expected that the Cicada Child had been hiding in the surrounding vacuum and chose such a critical moment to strike, severely wounding the Senior Commander-in-Chief and even devouring a third of his origin.
The Senior Commander-in-Chief completely failed to block their attacks, sustaining further injuries upon his wounds.
Shao Siming rushed to come to the Senior Commander-in-Chief’s aid.
