Chapter 834: This gift, I, the Emperor, shall accept it.

“The Human Emperor ascended from the Xuan Huang Realm, and within just a few years, he has attained such a cultivation level. It’s truly earth-shattering and soul-stirring, deserving of great admiration.”

The Evil Sovereign’s figure was towering. Even seated upon his throne, he was three times taller than Lin Fan.

Especially his stern expression and solemn demeanor exuded a bone-chilling aura that inspired fear.

“Evil Sovereign, let’s keep it brief. If you have anything to say, just spit it out. This Emperor doesn’t have time for idle chatter with you,” Lin Fan said calmly, clearly not taking the other seriously.

Hualalala!

The surrounding black-robed figures couldn’t tolerate the insult to their Evil Sovereign. One by one, they revealed murderous intent.

Lin Fan cast a disdainful glance at these black-robed figures but didn’t take them seriously.

However, this Evil Sovereign did spark Lin Fan’s curiosity. He wondered what kind of being he was, and he assumed these black-robed figures were identical to the one he had just converted.

What race were they exactly?

The Evil Sovereign slightly raised his hand, clad in pitch-black armor, signaling for silence.

“Human Emperor, please remain calm. The Evil Alliance has long existed in the Ancient Holy Realm, with vast influence. I know you are determined to oppose the Ancient Race. Actually, I invited you here today to discuss something. Perhaps we can cooperate,” the Evil Sovereign said hoarsely.

Each word carried a grating metallic tone.

“How can we cooperate?” Lin Fan looked at the Evil Sovereign. He knew the Evil Alliance was essentially an enemy.

The Evil Alliance had killed beings from the Great Thousand Races and the Ancient Race as well.

However, due to their hidden stronghold, even the Ancient Race’s Supreme Being couldn’t do anything about them.

“On the day the Ten Thousand Realms are opened and the Heavenly Will is about to descend, all you need to do is help us suppress the Heavenly Will,” the Evil Sovereign said.

“Just like that?” Lin Fan asked.

“Exactly,” the Evil Sovereign said calmly with a faint smile. “Don’t worry. The Evil Alliance always treats powerful individuals with the utmost courtesy.”

“Hmph, this proposal is actually not bad. Cooperating to suppress the Heavenly Will is acceptable. But I always have a clear prerequisite for whatever I do,” Lin Fan thought cynically. The Evil Alliance actually wanted to team up with him to suppress the Heavenly Will? Was this guy trying to fool him?

Or did he really think Lin Fan was a three-year-old child?

“What prerequisite?” the Evil Sovereign asked with a slight smile.

Lin Fan spread his hands. “Those not of my race will surely harbor different intentions. Your Evil Alliance is neither human nor ghost. Who knows what your true intentions are?”

“Oh, right, you don’t need to explain. I can ask myself. As for the one who brought me here, I’d like to know your origins and intentions,” Lin Fan said, pointing at the black-robed figure he had converted.

The Evil Sovereign was momentarily stunned, not understanding what the Human Emperor meant. Then he turned his gaze toward his subordinate.

However, as soon as he looked, the Evil Sovereign was stunned. He abruptly stood up from his throne.

“You…”

Initially, the Evil Sovereign hadn’t noticed, but at this moment, he discovered that his underling exuded a faint Buddhist aura, barely perceptible but not escaping his eyes.

“We are extraterrestrial demons. On the day the Ten Thousand Realms are opened, we will invade, devour the Heavenly Will of the Ancient Holy Realm, and conquer the Ten Thousand Realms.”

“Silence!”

The Evil Sovereign was furious. He couldn’t imagine his subordinate betraying him.

Boom!

With a single palm strike, a vast force erupted forth, aiming to suppress and kill the black-robed figure.

“Evil Sovereign, don’t be in such a hurry. You dare to attack this Emperor’s people without hesitation. Could it be that you don’t hold this Emperor in esteem?”

Lin Fan flicked his sleeve, unleashing a roaring sword intent that directly blocked the Evil Sovereign’s attack.

“Human Emperor, what have you done to my subordinate?”

The Evil Sovereign’s expression turned dark and gloomy.

“Extraterrestrial demons, truly unexpected,” Lin Fan said with a meaningful smile, recalling the beings he encountered at the Tuodi Shrine in the Xuan Huang Realm. He wondered if those beings could be considered extraterrestrial demons as well.

“Human Emperor, I wished to cooperate with you, yet you treat my subordinate like this. Could it be that you don’t hold me in esteem?” the Evil Sovereign roared angrily, his eyes flashing with murderous intent, clearly enraged.

“Heh, hold you in esteem? You don’t even deserve this Emperor’s respect. What qualifications are you talking about? This Emperor came here originally to turn your Evil Alliance upside down. Now that I’ve arrived at your stronghold, it saves me the trouble of searching.”

Lin Fan smiled calmly, unfazed by the situation.

What was this situation called again? Ah, yes—inviting a wolf into one’s house.

The Evil Sovereign’s cultivation was decent—Tenth Heaven of the Divine Realm, an Eternal Divine Position—but he hadn’t achieved true eternity. Thus, in Lin Fan’s eyes, he was merely average.

Converting him would be a good choice.

“You…” The Evil Sovereign hadn’t expected the situation to turn like this. His expression changed drastically as he flashed his figure and let out a long roar.

This roar was continuous and far-reaching, filling the heavens and earth.

Boom!

Suddenly, the void slightly trembled, and masses of black mist rushed from the distance.

Then these mists transformed into black-robed figures, surrounding Lin Fan completely.

“Human Emperor, you’re seeking your own death,” the Evil Sovereign roared furiously, waving his hand. “Seize him!”

“Evil Sovereign, I’ll accept these gifts.”

Lin Fan looked at these black-robed figures and couldn’t help but smile.

“Great Conversion Freedom.”

Ten thousand Buddhist rays, like silk ribbons, extended from behind Lin Fan, penetrating into the boundless void.

Buzz!

Ripples spread from Lin Fan’s feet, wave after wave. A golden lotus filled with conversion power rose from beneath him.

Lin Fan’s expression turned serene as he joined his palms. His body expanded, growing taller and taller.

In an instant, a Conversion King Buddha appeared behind Lin Fan. This King Buddha exuded a majestic aura that shook the heavens and earth. With a single hand gesture, it caused thunderous booms, raining flowers from the sky, and the descent of a Buddha.

“What is this?”

Seeing this King Buddha, the Evil Sovereign’s expression changed drastically. He roared furiously, his eyes filled with shock. He was clearly astonished.

To the Evil Sovereign, this aura was unbearably oppressive.

“Buddhism! This is a Buddhist ability.”

The Evil Sovereign’s eyes narrowed, seemingly recalling something, and he exclaimed in shock.

“Evil Sovereign, you’re right. This is indeed a Buddhist ability. For such a generous gift, how could this Emperor not accept it?”

Lin Fan smiled serenely, looking at the densely packed black-robed figures, revealing a strong sense of possession.

In Lin Fan’s eyes, these were all Holy Sun Pills.

“Submit to this Emperor’s rule, and attain eternal freedom.”

Lin Fan softly chanted. The King Buddha behind him opened its eyes, and two golden beams instantly shot forth.

Within these golden beams, strange scenes appeared—Buddhas drifting through the air, countless scriptures floating about.

“Ahh!”

Wherever the golden beams swept, the black-robed figures screamed in agony, as if something was corroding their bodies, emitting thick black mist.

“Damn you, how dare you!” The Evil Sovereign roared furiously. He already understood—the Human Emperor was trying to convert his subordinates.

“What’s there not to dare?”

Lin Fan smiled calmly, completely unconcerned.
