1103 Philosophical Clash

Khutulun wore a blue deel with designs of a black wolf, a golden sash around her waist, and a headdress with colorful beads and buttons perfectly intertwined with her long hair. She exuded an aura of beauty, grace, and power.

Meanwhile, her brother Tolui wore red and gold monk robes, had a bald head, and clasped his hands together. He had a more peaceful aura with a well-hidden fierceness. His arm was slightly muscular for a monk, which only accentuated his warrior sub-aura.

"Amitabha," said Feng Heng, remaining calm after these intruders essentially attacked him. He looked at Tolui and said, "Venerable, is this necessary? We are monks, so why resolve to use violence to solve our issue?"

"I also don't want to use violence, but I don't have a choice," Tolui replied. "We cannot disobey the Commerce's hub orders."

"You know of the rumors about his majesty. Do you think something really happened to him? Why did you choose the losing side in this battle?"

"If nothing happens to him, why hasn't he shown up?"

"Because he's playing chess with the entire world," Feng Heng explained calmly. "That's why our people are willing to follow him and fight in this war that seems hopeless by all accounts. We know as long as we follow him, we will be the final winner."

"Unfortunately, we do not have this kind of blind faith."

Feng Heng looked at him briefly before shifting his eyes to Khutulun. "Shadow Monarch Empress, why don't you be the voice of reason and stop your brother?"

"Monk, don't waste your time," replied Khutulun. "Since we chose to walk this path, we will see it through to the end." They've been a duo since she was young, with his brother being the brain and she being the muscle. So, she usually left all the decisions to him, even if she sometimes disagreed.

Feng Heng exhaled deeply, not hiding his frustration. So, he said: "Why don't we stop this nonsense? This poor monk knows you chose this path because you don't want to partake in the public Dharma Discussion."

Tolui frowned, "Since you know the truth, why beat around the bush?"

"I just wish Venerable would come to his senses," replied Feng Heng. "Your new branch is susceptible to corruption, and I merely wish to prevent any future accidents."

"You want to talk about corruption after what you guys did throughout the lower dimension?" sneered Tolui.

"We have made a mistake and atoned for it. Now, we just do not want to repeat it."

"You're so righteous, aren't you?" asked Tolui mockingly. "Tell me, if I decide to make a deal with you now to trust me and give me some time to develop, and before ascending, I will ensure to live measures to prevent corruption, would you accept it?"

Two shadowy creatures appeared behind Khutulun, one with hands made of curved blades and the other with spikes on her torso, back, and legs. They appeared next to Fenh Heng and tried to hack him into pieces. However, a golden light swiftly dissipated their bodies.

[Yin-Yang Closing Disk]

Two Yin-Yang Symbols appeared above and below the siblings, trying to crush them into meat paste. And this time around, Khutulun could not use shadow teleportation. As the pressure loomed on them, Khutulun had a brilliant idea, and she disappeared from the trap.

'Did she use the Ancient Spirit Realm as the medium for her teleportation? Her battle IQ is better than I expected,' thought Feng Heng, looking in the distance.

[Fake Nirvana]

Feng Heng clasped his hand, and his body released a holy light. The Barbarian siblings suddenly looked dazed with a dream smile; it was like they were in an ultimate state of happiness. In some ways, that's exactly what they were feeling: peaceful, blissful, and liberated from the cycle of life and death. The siblings were enjoying the joy of achieving nirvana and obtaining the ultimate liberation of the mind.

As Feng Heng was about to seal them, a light rushed out of Tolui's head before turning into an enormous black figure with a bare upper torso, dragon head, and one thousand arms. The figure released a fierce and war-like aura.

'This is...' Feng Heng's Yin-Yang Eyes rotated, and he saw the truth. This was a god created from incense by Tolui so that his followers could visualize and accelerate their path to enlightenment. Feng Heng sighed as one of his concerns proved to be correct. The Deity, which this new branch of Buddhism created, is a warrior-type, thus already starting their path of putting power above studying and comprehending the Dharma.

The siblings escaped the illusion of achieving nirvana with the summon of this deity. Meanwhile, tattoos appeared on Khutulun's body as she summoned her ancient spirit: the Shadow-Snake Wolf.

The Angry Punishing Deity slapped Feng Heng with all his thousands of arms, each striking so fast that it appeared not to have moved. Simultaneously, the wolf's snake tail disappeared, heading for Feng Heng's throat.

A Yin-Yang shield appeared to protect Feng Heng, bouncing off all the deity's powerful strikes; even the sneak attack of the wolf's tail failed. A golden Buddha appeared behind him with thousands of hands, and he retaliated.

The Angry Punishing Deity tried to keep up as it boosted its speed even further. Sadly, Feng Heng's Thousand Hand Buddha was too fast due to his Yin-Yang Dao, which controlled speed and slowness. Khutulun tried to assist by blessing the deity with her shadow power, making many of his hands invisible and allowing them to teleport through a shadow dimension.

The attempt was futile as the golden Buddha landed blow after blow. Feng Heng even gathered the natural disasters in the Void Battlefield to bless his attacks with certain elemental properties; some of his hand strikes contained flame, ice, thunder, etc.

The deity roared in pain and anger as it had never felt so insulted. The anger seemed to trigger some hidden power, and its aura increased; its black skin or body turned shades of red, and it grew dozens of eyes in its dragon head.

"Buddha has no form and is empty, but this appearance is almost demonic," muttered Feng Heng, shaking his head. "Return to your root: Absolute Beginning Magic."

As soon as he uttered these words, the deity's body began to disintegrate as it returned to its original state - a state of nonexistent.

"Damn it," cussed Tolui. He had spent so much time and resources to condense this powerful deity, and now, all his efforts were wasted. Veins appeared on his bald head.

"Calm down," said Khutulun. "We need to go all out, or we won't stand a chance against him."
