"Ah! Let me go, let me go quickly!" Duobao struggled desperately in the palm of Tathagata Buddha, but he was like a flying insect trapped in a spider web, unable to move at all.
"Let go of Master Beast!" Yu Kai's eyes were wide open with anger, and he held the Moon Spirit Holy Sword tightly in his hand, pointing it directly at Tathagata, with anger burning in his eyes.
"Let my disciple go!" Tongtian Patriarch, who had just recovered his spiritual power, roared angrily, and then controlled the Four Swords of Zhuxian, intending to kill Tathagata, but was stopped by Patriarch Hongjun.
"Master!" Tongtian's face was full of confusion. He really didn't understand what Hongjun's intention was.
Hongjun didn't respond, but instead stared at Tathagata with Hou Tu Niangniang. After a long moment, he slowly uttered a few words: "Peak of the Holy Emperor!"
"The peak of the Holy Emperor, he has actually reached the strength of the peak of the Holy Emperor? He is even more powerful than Jie Yin and Zhunti?" Tongtian's face was full of disbelief, his eyes full of deep shock.
Hongjun looked at Tathagata, shook his head slightly, and said with a hint of regret: "Even if you are now at the peak of the Holy Emperor, and with Houtu joining forces with you, you still can't stop the elders of Asia!"
Yu Kai's heart was equally filled with regret. The prehistoric land was teeming with powerful warriors, but time was tight, and they hadn't had time to fully mature. Given enough time, they would definitely have the strength to compete with Asia. Unfortunately, Asia had already deployed a large force and would not withdraw easily.
Tathagata did not respond immediately. Instead, he looked at Duobao, who was struggling like a little mouse in his hand, and slowly said, "You have always been unwilling to merge with me, but now that the prehistoric world is facing a great disaster, are you also going to watch it die without helping?"
"I'd rather merge with you than not. I haven't had enough fun yet! The prehistoric world is over, and if you can't beat me, can't you just run away?" Duobao shouted loudly, his face full of reluctance.
When everyone heard their conversation, they were all shocked. No one expected that Duobao and Tathagata had such a strange relationship.
"Master Shou, what's going on between you and him?" Yu Kai shouted at Duobao.
"That's right, he is my clone!" Duobao looked at Yu Kai and Tongtian Jiaozhu and said firmly.
"What? Are you sure you are the real one and he is the clone?" Yu Kai asked doubtfully.
Duobao heard the doubt in Yu Kai's words and quickly defended himself, "I, Shouye, am usually busy collecting all kinds of rare treasures and haven't been able to concentrate on training. Otherwise, how could he be my opponent? If I had been a little more serious, I could have left him far behind!"
"What exactly is your intention in fusing with him?" Hongjun was genuinely confused. He had once aided Houtu in evolving the underworld, gaining the power of the Earth Dao and thereby breaking through to the Celestial Emperor realm. He had then merged with the Heavenly Dao, ascending to the mid-stage Celestial Emperor realm. But he simply couldn't see how Tathagata could control the power of both the Heavenly Dao and the Earth Dao, and he couldn't fathom the significance of Tathagata fusing Duobao, a mid-stage Dao Emperor.
"What do you know? I, Beast Master, am extremely important. Without me, he can never break through to become the Emperor of Heaven!" Duobao looked proud, but in his heart he was actually very reluctant to merge into Tathagata's body.
Seeing Duobao's resistance, the Tathagata said, "The situation is critical now. If you are willing to merge, I would like to let you take the lead and control this body. What do you think?"
"Really? Does what you said count? Let me control the body of the Emperor of Heaven!" Duobao's eyes lit up, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement.
"Of course it counts!" Tathagata nodded solemnly.
"Hahahaha, good! Hehe! That's great! Hurry... hurry up and merge..." Duobao was so excited that he was incoherent and couldn't wait to urge.
"Good!" Tathagata smiled kindly, and instantly, rays of Buddha's light enveloped Duobao like a surging tide. As the Buddha's light shone, Duobao sank directly into Tathagata's body.
Instantly, the Buddha's light emanating from the Tathagata grew ever stronger, like a surging wave, engulfing the entire South China Sea. Then, a gigantic image of the Tathagata, obscuring the heavens and the sun, appeared out of thin air in the sky. This image slowly illuminated the entire vast land, as if bringing a glimmer of hope to this land mired in crisis.
Even the Asian elders who were invading the prehistoric world saw the sudden appearance of the Tathagata. One of the elders struck Xumizi and Nuwa severely with a single blow, then quickly retreated.
Another elder captured the severely injured Black Donkey and Jie Yin, and together they looked up at the sky. The two sides instantly split into two camps. Zhunti, gravely wounded, looked at the suddenly appearing Tathagata with a look of shock.
This is the Dharma image of Tathagata, but why does he have such powerful majesty? Has he been hiding his strength all this time?
At this moment, Tathagata put his hands together and chanted, "Amitabha!" The huge Buddhist sound was like rolling thunder, resounding throughout the entire world.
All the creatures in the ancient world felt an urge to bow down and worship, as if they had regained strength at this moment and had a solid support in their hearts.
Those who were injured in the battle began to recover slowly under the Buddha's light.
Especially the ancestor witches who were closer to Tathagata, their injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and they soon returned to their peak condition.
Under the watchful eyes of Hou Tu and Hong Jun, Tathagata successfully broke through to the early stages of the Celestial Emperor realm. A powerful pressure spread out, and everyone retreated. Even Tong Tian, a powerful figure at the high level of the Saint Emperor, could not withstand the pressure and could only retreat continuously with the Ancestral Witches.
Hongjun pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized something. He muttered softly, "The power of humanity, the power of all living things! It turns out that before you comprehended the power of earth and heaven, you first comprehended the power of humanity!"
Hou Tu also understood instantly and exclaimed in admiration: "What a Tathagata! He actually goes against the grain. He is truly amazing! No wonder he chose Buddhism despite his talent!"
Just as everyone was shocked, an extremely discordant voice suddenly came out of Tathagata's mouth.
"Is this the power of the Emperor of Heaven? It's really powerful, hahahaha, Master Beast, I have become the Emperor of Heaven, hahahaha!"
"Master Shou, are you okay?" Yu Kai asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, I'm fine! Boy, follow me from now on. I'll protect you! And you, Emperor Shi, I'll protect you too! Haha!" Duobao said proudly. (Let's just call him Duobao for now!)
After saying this, he put away the Tathagata Dharma Image in the sky, looked at Hongjun with a heroic look, and said, "Let's go and teach that Ya Xiya a lesson! What a bullshit elder! Lord Beast and I, together with Hou Tu, don't believe we can't take him down!"
Before he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to take the lead and rush out.
Hongjun looked at Duobao and felt that he was out of place. He looked like a great monk, but when he opened his mouth, people couldn't help but want to slap him.
Hongjun quickly turned his gaze to Tongtian. Tongtian looked embarrassed and turned his gaze to Emperor Shi. His eyes seemed to say: It was Emperor Shi who led him astray, it has nothing to do with me.
