This was the most powerful force Lin Fan could unleash now, and also the most reckless fighting method—hurting the enemy while sacrificing oneself. A thousand losses to the enemy meant eight hundred to oneself. It was not worth it. Absolutely not worth it.
At first, the Future Boundless Buddha had maintained a calm demeanor, but now his expression changed. His countenance hardened. “Xinfeng Tianjun?”
Boom!
The heavens and earth cracked apart as infinite power surged through, the force of the Celestial Truth Sutra condensing into a single mass, piercing straight into the sky.
A colossal ethereal figure gradually emerged, slowly extending a palm. The power of the world seemed to rest within its grasp as it gently blocked the Future Boundless Buddha’s finger.
Bang!
An overwhelming force exploded in that instant—an absolute clash of sheer power capable of shaking the heavens and earth.
“Xinfeng Tianjun,” the Future Boundless Buddha murmured, gazing at the figure as if he couldn’t believe his eyes. But in an instant, he dismissed the thought. “No, it’s not him. This is merely a projection of his divine consciousness.”
Lin Fan stared at the ethereal figure standing in the void. Although shocked, he had no time to dwell on it now.
“Go… now!”
An opportunity had arisen—why not seize it?
Besides, his strength was gradually fading, soon to enter a weakened state. If he couldn’t suppress the Future Boundless Buddha by then, everything would truly be over.
The Future Boundless Buddha roared furiously, “Do you think a mere projection of divine consciousness can threaten me?”
With a mighty roar, he unleashed an even greater force than before.
Lin Fan threw a punch, launching forward—but to the Future Boundless Buddha, it felt like a mere tickle, causing no pressure whatsoever.
“You insignificant speck dare challenge this Ancestor Buddha? You’re asking for death,” the Future Boundless Buddha sneered coldly. From behind him, a massive Buddha hand suddenly extended and crushed down upon Lin Fan.
Puchi!
Lin Fan felt his blood boil violently inside him—a result of the overwhelming force shaking his body. The life force refined from the sacred wutong tree erupted forth, rapidly healing his wounds.
The mighty presence of Xinfeng Tianjun surged forward, pushing back the Future Boundless Buddha, though unable to fully suppress him. Then, Xinfeng Tianjun turned his gaze toward the distant horizon.
He pointed a finger, sending out a ripple.
Boom!
From afar, a strange aura spread forth. Then, suddenly, a massive hidden realm instantly appeared before everyone.
Seeing this, the Future Boundless Buddha’s heart tightened—uncertain of what it was.
Lin Fan, upon seeing the hidden realm, was momentarily stunned. This was the Ancient Holy Realm—the Ten Thousand Realms…
Xinfeng Tianjun spoke, “To become a Tianjun, you must recover all your origins, refine them, and reunite all sources. Only then can you truly become a Tianjun.”
Lin Fan was taken aback. He looked at Xinfeng Tianjun, then at the hidden realm, before erupting in fury, “Go to hell! I won’t sacrifice my comrades for the path to Tianjun. Even without becoming one, I can still kill this bald bastard!”
Upon hearing this, the Future Boundless Buddha immediately turned his gaze toward the vast hidden realm floating in the void. Was this the source of Xinfeng Tianjun’s origin?
“Hahaha!” The Future Boundless Buddha laughed wildly. “Origin power? This Ancestor Buddha gladly accepts it!”
In that moment, the Future Boundless Buddha stretched out a hand, vast enough to blot out the sky, reaching toward the hidden realm.
“Die!” Lin Fan charged forward, but to the Future Boundless Buddha, it was nothing more than an ant’s feeble protest.
Xinfeng Tianjun raised a finger, enveloping the hidden realm in radiant light, protecting it. He then turned to Lin Fan, “He is not your true enemy. Even if you defeat him, it will be meaningless.”
Lin Fan froze, then looked at Xinfeng Tianjun, “What did you say?”
The Future Boundless Buddha paused as well, “You…”
Then he laughed loudly, “Hilarious! Defeating me is meaningless? Is there anyone in this world stronger than this Ancestor Buddha?”
But after saying that, something suddenly occurred to the Future Boundless Buddha. No, impossible. Absolutely impossible.
He fixed his gaze on Xinfeng Tianjun and Lin Fan, “You talk too much. All of you—die!”
“Ten Thousand Evil Buddhas, Universal Salvation…”
With the Future Boundless Buddha’s roar, the entire sky and earth were engulfed in a malevolent Buddhist force—it was his ultimate move, meant to kill all.
Xinfeng Tianjun said, “I will hold him back. You use the Celestial Crucible to suppress him.”
Lin Fan furrowed his brows, muttering to himself, “Easy to say, hard to do.”
Still, this was their last hope.
The Future Boundless Buddha never expected that at this moment, Xinfeng Tianjun’s divine projection would be activated by the Celestial Truth Sutra. Maddening—utterly infuriating. Especially since this was only a projection, yet its power was so formidable.
He had absorbed all the power from the Buddha Pool. How could he, even with that, still be inferior to a mere projection?
“Xinfeng Tianjun, I refuse to believe you can suppress me!” the Future Boundless Buddha roared.
Yet at that moment, the ethereal figure of Xinfeng Tianjun floating in the void raised a finger, and the void itself abruptly transformed. A book and a brush floated into existence.
“Before the chaos came the heavens; before the heavens came Xinfeng Tianjun. This entire world is but a story I have written. With infinite will, I shaped countless worlds. Your fate is already inscribed within this book. Resistance is futile.”
At that moment, the mysterious book floating in the void suddenly flipped open. With each page turned, vivid scenes emerged—depicting every moment happening throughout the entire world.
On the final page appeared the Future Boundless Buddha’s own image.
Upon seeing himself in the book—being subdued and perishing—the Future Boundless Buddha went utterly mad.
“No! I am the Future Boundless Ancestor Buddha! I cannot be a mere construct! I refuse to believe it! Die…” The Future Boundless Buddha raged, driven to madness. Someone was telling him he was nothing but a creation of another’s will. What a devastating blow! Had his fate always been controlled by someone else?
Lin Fan, however, cared little at this point. Whether real or fabricated, the Future Boundless Buddha must die.
He threw a punch straight at the Buddha’s head.
“No! You’re lying to me!”
Bang!
The Future Boundless Buddha grabbed Lin Fan’s arm, glaring furiously, “It’s all your doing! This scene—it’s all false!”
Lin Fan lifted his head, gazed at the image, and roared, “Die!”
Puchi!
A sword intent slashed through the void, severing Lin Fan’s wrist. Yet, the severed hand still clutched the legendary red brick, which smashed straight into the Future Boundless Buddha’s head.
Bang!
The red brick struck true.
A smile spread across Lin Fan’s face. That move had been brilliant.
Without hesitation, Lin Fan released Geng Yang Tian and the others from the Celestial Crucible, then sealed the Future Boundless Buddha inside.
“We won…” Lin Fan shouted in exhilaration.
Geng Yang and the others, seeing this, were equally thrilled.
They had won. Truly won…
Xinfeng Tianjun said, “No, this is merely the end of the story I wrote. The final change is yet to come…”
Everyone froze at his words.
Lin Fan turned toward Xinfeng Tianjun, “Don’t scare us like that…”
“This is not a scare, but the truth,” Xinfeng Tianjun shook his head, his gaze shifting to the void. “What you are experiencing now is merely the beginning.”
Lin Fan shook his head, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
Xinfeng Tianjun’s expression darkened, “Let me explain…”
