Chapter 767: Chapter 767: Victorious Fighting Buddha

"Fine, you have an hour to organize your troops, then leave a legion behind, and the rest of the legions will continue their attack on Leiyin Buddha Temple!"

Qin Jun waved his hand, indicating that even though Earth Traveler Monkey excelled in Earth Escape Technique in mythology, it did not mean he could dominate with this skill in this world.

Feeling ashamed, Earth Traveler Monkey withdrew.

All the major legions also started to get busy, while most of the observing cultivators in the distance belonged to various powers and served as spies, quickly relaying the news back to their domains.

The Great Qin Celestial Court had already broken through the western border and captured a Daluo Supreme Immortal from the western regions!

E’zang was already famous, becoming a Daluo Supreme Immortal while Buddhism waned had made him well-known throughout the world.

Unfortunately, he didn’t stand a chance against Kua Fu, and this battle became a stepping stone that skyrocketed Kua Fu’s fame.

"Your Majesty, it seems this campaign is not as simple as we had imagined," Bai Ze said softly.

Zhuge Liang, who was beside him, nodded while flicking his Feather Fan, "Tathāgata must have sought assistance, otherwise he would have been here waiting for us, rather than letting us defeat his minions one by one and then face us in a final battle."

Tathāgata was not foolish; he would not just allow E’zang and Sun Wukong to be sacrificed for nothing, as the appearance of the mysterious expert in Earth Escape Technique plainly showed.

"Do you mean, Tathāgata is using them to buy time?" Qin Jun asked, frowning.

Behind him, Liu Ruolai nervously gazed downward, where she saw nothing but corpses. This battle had claimed at least a million soldiers, the blood running like rivers.

"That’s right," Zhuge Liang answered softly.

He was known as Ingenious Calculation and understood some divination techniques like the Eight Diagrams, but compared to Bai Ze’s predictive Divine Power, he still fell short.

Bai Ze could not predict what would happen next, let alone him.

Qin Jun nodded and snorted, "We’ll set off on time later!"

After saying this, he took Liu Ruolai with him and went back into the golden palanquin.

Zhuge Liang frowned, and Bai Ze also showed a puzzled look.

They both had hinted at Tathāgata possibly having a plot; why was Qin Jun still nonchalant instead of hastening to attack Leiyin Buddha Temple?

Little did they know that Qin Jun had his own reliance.

He was waiting for someone.

Back in the palanquin, Qin Jun asked inwardly, "Why hasn’t Xing Tian appeared yet?"

By his reckoning, it had been precisely one day’s time.

"Soon!" The system replied swiftly, its brief response exuding a sense of perfunctory that Qin Jun could feel.

"System, what exactly is going on with Sun Wukong?"

Qin Jun changed the topic, as Sun Wukong was a deity he admired, a hero from his childhood. He couldn’t bear to see Sun Wukong suffer in such a way.

"His mind is bewildered, his inner demons magnified infinitely. He is no longer the Supreme Heaven Great Sage he once was," the system replied.

Qin Jun rolled his eyes, thinking the response was as good as none.

"Can the system help him?" Qin Jun continued to ask, wondering if there was a pill or a remedy to cure Sun Wukong’s demonic affliction.

"He is not poisoned. Only he can help himself," the system sighed, evidently feeling regret for Sun Wukong’s state.

Qin Jun was extremely agitated. Even Tang Sanzang couldn’t awaken Sun Wukong. Who else could?

Did he really have to kill Sun Wukong?

Searching his heart, Qin Jun found he simply couldn’t make that decision, not just because he admired Sun Wukong, but because he wouldn’t be able to face the entire Great Qin Celestial Court afterward.

Sun Wukong had willingly allowed himself to be captured by E’zang to protect the Great Qin Celestial Court. If Qin Jun now killed him, wouldn’t it chill the hearts of his soldiers?

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?" Liu Ruolai asked anxiously.

She seldom saw Qin Jun with such a distressed expression, and she couldn’t help but worry.

Qin Jun forced a smile, "I’m thinking about how to rescue Wukong."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruolai grasped Qin Jun’s hands with a radiant smile, "Your Majesty, you should trust your subordinates; they have protected you all the way until today."

"How can I be reassured this time?" Qin Jun said with a wry smile.

"The system has a method, but I don’t know if the host is willing to try," the indifferent system suddenly spoke.

"Oh? What method?" Qin Jun eagerly inquired within.

He truly did not want to lose Sun Wukong.

"Use the host’s only chance of summoning a God and Demon to call forth the Victorious Fighting Buddha!"

The system declared solemnly, causing Qin Jun’s eyes to widen.

Liu Ruolai, thinking she had said something wrong, jumped in fright and looked pitifully at Qin Jun.

"System, didn’t you say that a God and Demon cannot appear twice?" Qin Jun asked in confusion.

"Correct. The Victorious Fighting Buddha that the host will summon can only exist for seven days. After seven days, he will vanish like smoke," the system explained. "By fusing the Victorious Fighting Buddha with the Supreme Heaven Great Sage to comprehend past and present lives, to conquer his inner demons, that is the way to save Sun Wukong. You should know, the Sun Wukong that attained the Victorious Fighting Buddha was firm in his Taoist heart, no longer the impetuous monkey from Flower and Fruit Mountain."

"But can the Victorious Fighting Buddha defeat the current Sun Wukong?" Qin Jun asked with concern.

Wasting a summoning chance on God and Demon to save Sun Wukong, he didn’t mind.

"In the Journey to the West, Sun Wukong’s ending is to become the Victorious Fighting Buddha. However, how strong the Victorious Fighting Buddha really was, is unknown to later generations. Since the Victorious Fighting Buddha will only have seven days of life, the system can allow him to possess the highest battle strength of God and Demon that the current host can summon, which is the peak of the Daluo Supreme Immortal Realm!"

The system spoke deliberately, causing Qin Jun to swallow hard.

The Victorious Fighting Buddha at the peak of the Daluo Supreme Immortal Realm?

This was the rhythm of being invincible!

Qin Jun was thrilled. Victorious Fighting Buddha versus Supreme Heaven Great Sage, even if Sun Wukong lost, he would not be disgraced. He would be defeated by himself.

"Additionally, if Sun Wukong successfully merges with the Victorious Fighting Buddha, there is a chance that Sun Wukong will become stronger. How much stronger he gets will depend on his destiny," the system dropped another bombshell.

Qin Jun’s blood boiled as he hurriedly asked, "Does this mean this method can be used in the future? Is it a new feature?"

"No, this is a one-time opportunity. Even if it were available again, it would trigger a compulsory mission for the host. The system advises against such risks," the system denied.

Wasting a God and Demon summoning chance, not even sure if it would make that God and Demon stronger, and triggering an unknown compulsory mission afterward.

Upon understanding the risks and rewards, Qin Jun calmed his restless heart.

"Can I choose to have the Victorious Fighting Buddha appear directly? For example, the next time I meet Sun Wukong."

Qin Jun continued to inquire. The Victorious Fighting Buddha could only exist for seven days. If he was summoned now and Sun Wukong wasn’t found within those seven days, wouldn’t that be embarrassing?

"You may. As soon as you summon, the Victorious Fighting Buddha will appear right beside the host, with full loyalty."

The system replied, bringing relief to Qin Jun.

Finally, there was a way to save Sun Wukong.

He looked up at Liu Ruolai, who was pouting pitifully, and couldn’t help but rub her cheeks, smiling, "Thanks to you, I’ve thought of a solution."

"Really?" Liu Ruolai asked excitedly.

Qin Jun nodded and then embraced her in his arms.

He was looking forward to seeing what a battle between the Supreme Heaven Great Sage and the Victorious Fighting Buddha would be like.

Some people admired the Supreme Heaven Great Sage, others the Victorious Fighting Buddha; it was destined to be an unforgettable fight.
