Zhao Feng's incarnation unleashes devastating power, crushing Heavenly Court experts. As he gains strength from the kills, Zhao Feng unleashes the formidable Witch Army, composed of two hundred thousand Jiuli warriors with awakened bloodline power. The Witch Army, led by Chi Xiong, decimates the Heavenly Court forces, causing widespread panic and despair among their ranks. Leaders within the Heavenly Court discuss the unexpected power of the Qin Court and the emergence of the Witch Clan, considering desperate measures to seek intervention from the Buddhist Sect.

Duobao Tathagata heard this, gently closed his eyes in thought.

Moments later, he slowly opened his eyes, a hint of complexity in his gaze: "The conflict between the Heavenly Court and the Qin Court has already exceeded expectations."

"Although our Buddhist sect always upholds compassion and is unwilling to interfere excessively in worldly struggles, the current situation, if left unchecked, threatens to devastate lives."

Seeing this, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva slightly inclined his body and said: "Our Buddha is compassionate. In these urgent circumstances, if avoiding further casualties by mediating the conflict can be done, it is indeed a benevolent act of Buddha."

Duobao Tathagata nodded slightly and looked at Gold Star Taibai: "Our Buddhist sect can step forward to mediate this matter."

"Samantabhadra, proceed immediately to the Eastern Continent and persuade the Qin Court to cease their military engagement."

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva put his hands together and replied: "I respectfully comply with the Buddha’s decree."

Having spoken, the Buddha’s light around him flashed, transforming into a beam of golden light heading swiftly towards the battlefield of the Eastern Continent.

Clearly.

Duobao Tathagata also realized that the strong ones sent by the Heavenly Court were fundamentally no match for the Qin’s forces; continuing the battle in such a manner might cause some losses to the Qin Court but those would be negligible when compared to the numerous fallen strong ones of the Heavenly Court.

Preserving some of the Heavenly Court’s primordial strength would be beneficial in future confrontations with the Qin Court.

This is the fundamental reason why Duobao Tathagata is willing to mediate.

The Qin Court.

Poses a far greater threat than that posed by the Heavenly Court.

Moreover, compared to their understanding of the Heavenly Court, the Buddhist sect knows almost nothing about the Qin Court; how has Qin developed so rapidly?

Why has the Crown Prince of Qin’s strength increased so swiftly?

These are all enigmas.

On the battlefield of the Eastern Continent!

1.8 million Daqin Elite Soldiers.

Madly wielding war sabers.

Countless True Essence Arrows gathered and shot wildly.

Slaughtering endlessly.

Still, 200,000 Witch Army were killing with enthusiasm.

Every swing of Chi Xiong’s Mo Knife could harvest a swath of enemy lives.

"The Heavenly Court."

"This is just the first step."

"After occupying the entire Eastern Continent."

"The Westward Journey Tribulation is the basis of my plan."

"I want to see what is truly behind this great tribulation."

Zhao Feng stood at a distance, quietly observing it all, planning the next step.

Suddenly.

A golden light shone in the sky, Buddha Light enveloping the void.

Zhao Feng calmly swept his gaze over.

"Buddhist Sect."

"Couldn’t bear it ultimately, could they?"

Zhao Feng frowned slightly and coldly scanned the area.

Zhao Feng showed no surprise at the arrival of the Buddhist Sect.

On the contrary.

Zhao Feng knew well that they would come.

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva appeared, surrounded by Buddha Light, his demeanor was compassionate.

In an instant, he arrived before Zhao Feng.

"Prince of Qin Court, Zhao Feng, please cease your actions."

"The Buddha Tathagata has learned of this battle and has specially commissioned me to mediate peace. The Heavenly Court is willing to relinquish the Northern Domain, only asking for the release of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals and the Immortals of the Northern Domain."

Upon reaching Zhao Feng, Samantabhadra folded his hands, clearly stating his intent without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Feng slightly raised his eyebrows, looking toward Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.

"The Heavenly Court sent you in place of the Buddhist Sect?"

Zhao Feng asked calmly.

"Amitabha."

"The war between Qin Court and the Heavenly Court has plunged countless lives into difficulty."

"I urge the Crown Prince of Qin to consider the virtue of heaven, which favors life, and cease this battle."

"This battle."

"Is nothing but the Qin Court desiring the Northern Domain of the Eastern Continent, which the Heavenly Court would willingly concede." Samantabhadra folded his hands together.

The involvement of the Buddhist Sect.

Zhao Feng was not surprised.

Zhao Feng could clearly feel how many Great Divine Ability Practitioners were covertly observing the battle, the Buddhist Sect naturally included.

For these observers, Zhao Feng did not care at all.

It was merely forces watching to see whether Qin or the Heavenly Court would win, sitting on the mountain to watch the tigers fight.

However.

The Heavenly Court’s desire to cease warfare at this time and asking the Buddhist Sect to mediate imparted a threatening posture to Qin.

But would Zhao Feng care?

If the Heavenly Court truly wished.

The Heavenly Court’s concession of the Northern Domain may allow Qin to acquire it, but would still leave many strong fighters unstarred, posing a hidden threat to Qin.

Releasing a tiger back into the mountain.

Qin would absolutely not do such a thing.

"Are you joking with me?" Zhao Feng heard Samantabhadra’s conveyed intention to mediate, showing a disdainful cold smile.

"Crown Prince of Qin."

"The Heavenly Court has already agreed to yield the Northern Domain."

"It merely hopes for the Crown Prince to show leniency." Samantabhadra said again.

"Yield?"

"How courteous."

Zhao Feng coldly chuckled, releasing a hint of killing intent: "No need for the Heavenly Court to yield, my Qin will pave everything flat with its soldiers, the Northern Domain of Eastern Continent will also belong to Qin."

"As for those forces invading Qin Court and the Immortal of Northern Domain!"

"Since they’ve come, they won’t leave."

"Qin has no habit of letting tigers return to their mountains."

Hearing this.

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva’s expression changed drastically, his hands clasped together, trying to intimidate with Duobao Tathagata’s authority: "Crown Prince, our Buddha Tathagata is compassionate, this mediation is also for quelling warfire, reducing devastation to lives."

"I hope Your Highness could consider the common beings and accept this peace proposal in respect to our Buddha."

However.

Zhao Feng remained unmoved, looking teasingly.

Seeing this, Samantabhadra slightly furrowed his brow, then evoked Duobao Tathagata’s name, with some intimidation in the tone: "Our Buddha Tathagata sympathizes with all lives, Your Highness if insists on proceeding, fear that..."

Before the words were finished.

Zhao Feng’s aura suddenly erupted, a vast and sharp power, like a raging tide, swept towards Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.

"Puff."

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva’s face instantly turned pale, unable to mount effective defenses, hit by this force, he flew backward like a kite with cut strings, spat out mouthfuls of blood, drawing a striking trail of blood in the air.

"Fear of what?"

Zhao Feng stood with hands behind, eyes cold, looking at the wounded Samantabhadra: "If the Buddhist Sect wants to help the Heavenly Court, Qin will accompany to the end. Just the current Buddhist Sect isn’t qualified to mediate the war between Qin and the Heavenly Court!"

"Even if Duobao Tathagata personally came, he wouldn’t dare to be so impudent at my presence."

Upon hearing this.

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva’s face was full of anger and unwillingness, knowing well that continuing the fight was impossible, he could only endure the pain, transforming into a streak of Buddha Light, quickly departing.

Within Leiyin Temple!

Duobao Tathagata was closely observing the battlefield situation via the Mysterious Light Mirror. Seeing Zhao Feng’s strong strike harming Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, his previously calm face slightly changed, a trace of unnoticeable anger flashed his eyes.

However, he quickly regained a compassionate and peaceful demeanor, just slightly shaking his head, sighing quietly.

With his divine skills, naturally aware of Zhao Feng’s current strength and resolution, the Buddhist Sect though powerful, couldn’t forcefully interfere in this conflict at this moment.

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva returned to Leiyin Temple in embarrassment, directly came to Duobao Tathagata, bowed respectfully, though breath weak but anger couldn’t be hidden: "World Venerable, that Zhao Feng is indeed arrogant, dared to strike me and utter such wild words, showing no regard for our Buddhist Sect."

It was evident.

This time, Samantabhadra truly suffered humiliation, deeply unwilling.

Duobao Tathagata nodded slightly, expression calm, gently said: "Stand up, I already know about this."

"The Qin Court’s current power makes it unlikely to heed mediation easily."

At this moment.

Gold Star Taibai had been anxiously awaiting the outcome, upon hearing Duobao Tathagata’s words, his heart immediately sank, hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and asked: "Buddha, what... what should be done now?"

"Our Heavenly Court’s many Heavenly Soldiers and Generals are surrounded by Qin Court, in precarious situation, hoping Buddha would show mercy and employ superb methods again."

Gold Star Taibai was pleading earnestly.

Duobao Tathagata looked calmly at Gold Star Taibai, speaking slowly: "This matter is beyond what our Buddhist Sect can forcibly intervene."

"The strength of Qin Court is not what it used to be, the Crown Prince of Qin’s resolution is set, our Buddhist Sect cannot mediate this battle."

Upon hearing this, Gold Star Taibai was struck by lightning, his face full of despair and helplessness.

He knew well, the Heavenly Court’s strong ones sent to the Eastern Continent, Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, likely can’t escape calamity, the loss of Northern Domain was already sealed.
