Lin Fan had had enough. Every time, just when he thought he was about to win, an even more monstrous existence would show up to suppress him.
Hanshuang, the Primordial God, had already been monstrous enough from the beginning. Now, to make matters worse, came the Buddha of Boundless Future, even more powerful than before. It was one monstrous opponent after another.
There was simply no way to fight back.
Faced with the vastness of this Buddhist power, he truly didn’t know what to do or how to fight. He was at a complete loss.
The Buddha of Boundless Future observed everything before him, but his fury had not yet subsided. From the moment he appeared and laid eyes on Lin Fan, hatred had already taken root in his heart. Ever since their first encounter, this guy had brought him endless humiliation.
Especially the torment he endured in that sacred pool—he would repay it a thousandfold, even ten thousandfold.
That pool overflowed with infinite power, but it was also filled with unbearable pain. It was the domain of the wills of evil Buddhas. Wave after wave of residual consciousnesses had attacked his mind. If not for his firm willpower, he would have long since been consumed.
Now, everything had ended. He had obtained an absolutely formidable power—one so terrifying that those before him were no more than ants, easily crushed with a wave of his hand.
“How is it? Do you still want to resist?” the Buddha of Boundless Future asked.
Lin Fan shook his arms, his mind racing. What should he do now? The gap between them was now insurmountable. In terms of strength, there was no way he could match this opponent.
All along, the system had been helping him, but now, at this point, he found his experience bar full and himself unable to level up. If only he could become a Heaven Monarch, he wouldn’t fear anything.
Moreover, all his various tactics might not work against the Buddha of Boundless Future. If the Buddha were as foolish and low on intelligence as those other idiots, perhaps there would still be a chance to kill him. But now, there seemed to be no hope at all.
“Buddha of Boundless Future, what exactly do you want?” Lin Fan asked, slowly gathering his strength.
“Hahaha…” The Buddha of Boundless Future suddenly burst into laughter. His massive dharma body was solemn and majestic, yet this laughter now carried an infinite sense of terror. When the laughter stopped, his expression abruptly changed. “I want you dead. But first, I want you to watch as each of your companions dies before your very eyes.”
“Come…”
Suddenly, an irresistible force filled the heavens and earth. Gengyang Tian and the others’ expressions changed drastically, for an unstoppable force was now forcibly pulling them, leaving them utterly powerless to resist.
One by one, their figures flew toward the Buddha of Boundless Future.
Seeing this, Lin Fan gritted his teeth. With a flick of his sleeve, the Celestial Furnace instantly erupted, enveloping Gengyang Tian and the others. Then, he roared, “Don’t get too arrogant!”
Bang!
His figure flashed as he directly surged toward the Buddha of Boundless Future, attempting to suppress him.
Shaking his head, the Buddha of Boundless Future said, “The sea of suffering knows no bounds—turn back while there’s still time. Do you really think you still have the strength to oppose this ancient Buddha?”
“Suppress evil!”
A force tore open the void in the sky. A massive Buddhist hand descended from above, exuding a vast aura and overwhelming momentum.
“In this ancient Buddha’s eyes, you are but an ant. But I shall let you experience what true power really is.”
Bang!
A palm the size of the sky came crashing down. Facing this vast Buddhist hand, Lin Fan’s expression turned grave.
Inside the Celestial Furnace,
Gengyang Tian and the others watched the scene unfold, their hearts filled with urgency. They knew Lin Fan was absolutely no match for the Buddha of Boundless Future.
“What do we do now? He’s clearly no match for this evil Buddha.”
“There’s nothing we can do. He has already become a Heaven Monarch. Though the gap between Immortal King and Heaven Monarch is only one cultivation stage, the difference is as vast as that between mortals and immortals.”
“Damn it! Why did he have to be the one to break through to Heaven Monarch…”
…
A mighty palm slammed down upon the ground.
Even as Lin Fan gathered all his strength and threw a punch, he was still unable to resist. This was not a battle between equals—it was not even in the same realm.
The earth trembled, the heavens cracked, and the ground completely collapsed, forming a massive crater beneath the palm’s impact.
The might of a single palm strike—unstoppable by any.
“Amitabha Buddha.”
The Buddha of Boundless Future calmly observed everything. To him, this young man was no longer worthy of being considered a threat. Now, he would slowly toy with him, letting him taste the meaning of despair.
Inside the deep crater,
Lin Fan lay there, covered in blood. Only now did he truly understand how terrifying this power was.
With just one palm strike, his entire body felt as if it had been completely sealed, leaving him no room for resistance. If not for his extraordinary physical strength, that one strike would have erased him from existence.
“Damn it…”
Lin Fan clenched his fists tightly. The Wutong Divine Tree faintly radiated life force, but in the earlier battle, it had already exhausted all its energy. What little life force it now produced was practically useless.
Crack!
At this moment, tiny cracks appeared on the Wutong Divine Tree. From these cracks flowed red blood, which then erupted into a vast, boundless power within his body.
“Master, keep going. I need to sleep now.”
Hearing this voice, Lin Fan was momentarily stunned, as if he hadn’t processed it.
The Wutong Divine Tree—how could it have a voice?
As he sensed the situation within his body, he noticed, at the very top of the Wutong Divine Tree, a tiny elf the size of a palm hiding beneath a large leaf. But now, it was shrinking, gradually fading away.
Eventually, the Wutong Divine Tree vanished, transforming into a seed—exactly as it had been when Lin Fan first obtained it, returning to its most primitive form.
The blood that had flowed from the Wutong Divine Tree now condensed into a sphere, radiating an immense life force. This was the very essence of the Wutong Divine Tree’s life force, now completely given to him.
“Damn it! I worked so hard cultivating the Wutong Divine Tree into such a mighty being, only to have it all undone in an instant. Buddha of Boundless Future, if I don’t kill you, I’ll no longer be a man!”
His physical body began to heal, and his wounds started to recover.
“Buddha of Boundless Future, you see me as an ant. Today, I’ll show you just how much strength I have.”
Bang!
The ground instantly cracked as Lin Fan’s body spiraled upward. Countless immortal techniques and divine abilities erupted, illuminating the heavens and earth. The entire world was enveloped in the power of these techniques.
The Buddha of Boundless Future’s expression slightly shifted. He hadn’t expected this young man to recover so quickly.
A single finger pierced through heaven and earth, gently flicking forward. Yet to Lin Fan, even this single finger was already more than he could handle.
How could the gap between their strengths be so vast?
How infuriating.
“The Celestial True Sutra!”
In an instant, the Celestial True Sutra soared through the void, golden characters floating in the air.
Shaking his head, the Buddha of Boundless Future said, “The Celestial True Sutra? That’s still far from enough…”
Lin Fan lifted his head, taking a deep breath. “Don’t get too cocky. Today, I’ll fight you to the death.”
“Burn my blood!”
With a flick of his arm, his lifeblood splashed out. The blood of the Heavens had long been within him, yet he had never dared to ignite it before, for the damage to his own body was simply too great—it was a move that consumed his very essence.
At this moment, the amount of lifeblood he released was enough to leave Lin Fan in a state of extreme weakness.
But the moment the Celestial True Sutra came into contact with his blood, it erupted completely.
Each character blazed with brilliant light, and eventually, all the lights converged into one.
