Buddha was consumed by rage. How many eons had passed since he had last been suppressed like this by an insignificant ant? Even in front of the supreme beings of both races, he had suffered a humiliating defeat.
This was simply unbearable.
Even tearing the enemy into pieces could not quench his fury.
Lin Fan now found himself cornered, pushed to the brink of destruction. “Bald monk, even if you kill me, you’ll never erase the shame of having been suppressed by me!”
“Silence!” Buddha roared. His golden body trembled violently, and his eyes burned with boundless fury. “I will slay you across lifetimes, reducing you to nothingness!”
“Hah! Bald monk, just wait. Even if you kill me in this life, in the next, and the one after, I will fight you endlessly!”
Lin Fan laughed loudly. With no other choice left, he decided to fight back with all his might. Even in death, he would stand tall and unyielding.
As long as his soul essence remained undestroyed, he could be reborn again.
Lin Fan never imagined he would reach this point. The path of cultivation was filled with peril and never smooth sailing.
“Hmph, another life? Do you really think I would grant you such an opportunity?”
“The soul essence of the Supreme Realm is immortal and indestructible, but you were unfortunate enough to meet me. Behold the Sutra of Three Lifetimes!”
The Buddha shouted furiously. The “卍” mark on his chest radiated golden light, and countless Buddhas surrounded him, brimming with infinite temporal power.
“The Sutra of Three Lifetimes is indeed formidable,” remarked the Star Clan’s progenitor calmly, though his eyes gleamed with greed. “It can sever past, present, and future, annihilating everything. Even if the soul essence is immortal, it will vanish into oblivion.”
The Sutra of Three Lifetimes was an extraordinary scripture, imbued with unfathomable power. Buddha’s achievements were inseparable from this powerful technique.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a mysterious and irresistible force enveloped Lin Fan.
“What the hell is this?” Lin Fan was alarmed. What was this bald monk up to now? Naturally, Lin Fan understood the concept of an undying soul essence—if it survived, it could be reborn repeatedly. However, although the soul essence might not perish, it would fall into a deep slumber. Whether it could awaken in the next life was another question entirely.
Suddenly, Lin Fan felt something being pulled from his soul essence by this force.
Instantly, an image appeared in the void—his life on Earth.
Though puzzled by the monk’s intentions, Lin Fan suddenly heard a thunderous shout.
“Sever!”
Puh!
Lin Fan’s spirit was violently shaken, as if struck by a heavy blow. He spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Hmph, human, I have severed your past life and gravely wounded your soul essence. Once I sever your present and future, no matter how strong your soul essence, it will dissipate into the void forever.”
Buddha’s cold voice rang out again.
Lin Fan’s heart shuddered in disbelief. How could such a technique exist in this world?
To sever one’s past, present, and future—this left him no path to survival.
He had to resist.
“Hehe! No need to resist. Even if you turn the heavens upside down, it will be of no use.”
“I shall sever your future and witness how you vanish into oblivion.” Buddha said coldly, once again activating the Sutra of Three Lifetimes. This was a supreme technique capable of shaking heaven and earth, surpassing even the Great Buddha Light.
This mighty technique was obtained by the Buddhist race in the first eon from a mysterious place.
Even supreme beings could not resist it, let alone a mere human.
In an instant, an image appeared.
The severing of the three lifetimes was incredibly profound. No matter what means Lin Fan employed, he could not stop this from happening.
At this moment, Lin Fan lifted his gaze toward the image—was this truly his future?
“Snore! Snore!”
Lin Fan was stunned. Could this really be him? He looked so slovenly.
In the image, his future self lay asleep in a void-like space, snoring loudly, appearing utterly ordinary—just like an average person.
“Human, this is your future. Once I sever it, you will have nothing left. Your soul essence will vanish, dissipating forever into the void,” Buddha said coldly, watching Lin Fan with a cruel smile.
“This is the pinnacle of the Sutra of Three Lifetimes—severing the future. I didn’t expect Buddha to have reached this level,” remarked the Star Clan’s progenitor.
“If he merges the three lifetimes, Buddha’s power will surpass everything. At that point, even we may not be his match,” Night Demon Patriarch muttered inwardly.
Awakening in this eon was for pursuing the final hope.
If they failed to seize this opportunity, even they would vanish, ceasing to exist forever.
The heavens and earth would vanish, time would dissolve, and everything would return to nothingness.
“Bald monk, stop! Let’s talk!” Lin Fan felt his soul essence begin to tremble again.
If this bald monk truly severed his future, everything would be lost.
Even his soul essence would no longer be able to reincarnate.
“Human, witness your future—sleeping endlessly in the void, just like you are now. Everything will vanish into oblivion.” Buddha toyed with fate, severing all causality.
“Sever!”
In an instant, Buddha roared. A golden light pierced into the image, its profound power transcending the river of time and severing Lin Fan’s future entirely.
“What the hell…”
Lin Fan roared in fury as he watched the scene unfold.
Peng!
A calm smile returned to Buddha’s lips. Everything was under his control, and the image before him was about to vanish completely.
Lin Fan’s heart sank—this was the end…
But at that moment, Buddha stared at the image in front of him, suddenly crying out in panic, “How is this possible…”
Lin Fan was still unaware of what had happened. When he looked at the image of his future self, he was also stunned.
His sleeping future self had just scratched his chest and muttered, “It’s kind of itchy…”
“How is this possible? How can I not sever it?”
“I refuse to believe it!”
Buddha roared furiously.
“Sever!”
As the light that severed all pierced into the image, Lin Fan closed his eyes in despair once more.
But then, he heard Buddha’s roar again and opened his eyes. His future self was still asleep, scratching his body.
“Haha!” Lin Fan burst into laughter. “Bald monk, are you trying to play a joke on me? You want to sever my future, but you haven’t even cut a single hair! Who are you trying to scare?”
“Impossible!” Buddha bellowed.
“Sever!”
“I’m severing it!”
“I refuse to believe it! Sever! Sever! Sever!”
At that moment, Buddha, enraged, slashed countless times. To the Buddhist race, how could they fail to sever the enemy’s future?
Yet at that moment, a terrifying scene unfolded before everyone’s eyes.
“Sever my ass! Severing, severing, severing—can’t a guy even get some sleep?”
Suddenly, his future self opened his eyes and shouted furiously.
“Didn’t expect my future self to be so unique, just like me,” Lin Fan laughed.
At that moment, a terrifying aura erupted violently from his future self’s body…
