There was no lack of elites the likes of the Stoner Patriarch among those forty-five Demi-Saints.
The three Chaos entities were even more frightening in comparison. Each of them was colossal and embodied an air of destruction, not to mention that they were much weaker than the Stoner Patriarch.
As for Dumbo, Trumbo, the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers, and the Nine Wise Rock Monkeys...
Though they assumed the path of cultivating from the divinity of Overdeities, they were crops that benefited immensely after the consecutive leveling of Jiang He's farm. Now, they were free from the shackles and drawback of assuming that path, so that their cultivation as well as combat ability would not lose out to Demi-Saints.
Moreover, they were armed to the teeth with various soul treasures… in fact, Jiang He estimated that Dumbo and the others were not much weaker than third-tier Demi-Saints, including the True Habitant of Tai Yi.
