Chapter 1155: The Arrival of the Ancestral Buddha

In the depths of the void, a city of frost gradually materialized, seeming both distant and near, as if it could descend at any moment.

Especially when the power of frost surged forth, Lin Fan felt a chill in his heart.

The Frost Sovereign no longer wished to prolong the battle and directly unleashed his ultimate move. Many sovereigns had already perished; they couldn’t afford to keep fighting, for in the end, it would likely result in mutual destruction.

The sovereigns were drawn to the Endless Continent due to an ancient rumor left behind by the Primordial Ruler—that the opportunity to transcend the Sovereign realm lay within the Endless Continent.

For some Sovereigns, they had no desire to break through their cultivation, for they were already supreme beings on the Moon Shadow Continent. However, the Moon Shadow Continent had developed too rapidly—its exploding population and the insufficient land and resources could no longer support so many people.

As for those Sovereigns who were eager to ascend to the level of the Primordial Ruler, they sought to uncover what hidden opportunity the Endless Continent truly held.

The ancient experts fought against the Sovereigns, but upon sensing the frost energy, they shivered involuntarily and retreated.

In the void, everything turned white with frost. Under the summoning of the Frost Sovereign, a vast city of frost appeared above them. The barriers the Frost Sovereign had set up around the area shattered under the oppressive force of the frost city.

Lin Fan noticed the ancient experts attempting to approach and immediately raised his hand. “Stay back! None of you can withstand it.”

The auras of Geng Yang Tian and others had already begun to dim. After battling the Sovereigns, every ancient expert had exhausted their strength, employing countless techniques. These Sovereigns were extremely difficult to deal with—often, slaying a single Sovereign would cost the life of an ancient expert.

Some Sovereigns possessed particularly bizarre techniques, and the ancient experts suffered many losses. Not a few had their divine consciousness shattered.

Looking around, only slightly more than twenty ancient experts remained, while on the Moon Shadow Continent’s side, merely thirteen Sovereigns were left.

It was indeed a tragic sight.

This was a battle that would destroy their very foundations. The void in this region had already been shattered, and chaotic currents surged violently. Any being below the rank of Immortal King who entered this place would likely be swept into the endless torrents.

“Frost Sovereign, we’ve already come this far. There’s no way to stop now. Show me all your power,” Lin Fan said coldly. Once cheerful and carefree, he now wore a solemn expression.

He could no longer feel any joy.

Too many had died in this battle.

“Native, as long as you die, no one on the Endless Continent will be able to oppose us again,” the Frost Sovereign declared, spreading his arms wide as streams of frost energy surged into the frost city.

Across the vast frost city were many ice sculptures, but now they all shattered, merging into the city itself. Within the frost, a power gradually began to gather.

At this moment, the Ancient Great Demon appeared before Lin Fan, gazing fearlessly at the frost city above.

Lin Fan was startled. “What are you doing?”

The Ancient Great Demon did not turn around but spoke solemnly, “I can feel the immense power within. If it self-destructs, you probably won’t be able to withstand it.”

Lin Fan looked at the Ancient Great Demon. “If I can’t withstand it, you think you can?”

The Ancient Great Demon replied without hesitation, “I can’t withstand it either, but I will give my life to resist it.”

Lin Fan stepped in front of the Ancient Great Demon. “Step back. This isn’t your fight.”

The Ancient Great Demon shook his head, his voice low but resolute. “I won’t retreat. You created me. Though you’ve never allowed me to truly fight before, today you’ve helped me rediscover the glory of my past conquests across countless realms…”

These words shook the heavens and stirred the hearts of the ancient experts. They never expected an artifact spirit to speak such words, and they felt deep admiration. But the next moment, they froze.

Lin Fan grabbed the Ancient Great Demon by the back of the head and flung him backward. “Get out of the way. This is not a fight for you to die in.”

In an instant!

He stepped into the sky, and a vast power erupted from his body. He fixed his gaze on the Frost Sovereign. “You want to suppress me with your Frost City—let’s see if you have the ability. Besides, do you really think I’ll give you the chance?”

“Full combat power—unleash!”

Boom!

His aura surged like a dragon ascending into the sky. Then, with a single movement of his body, he charged straight toward the Frost Sovereign.

The Frost Sovereign fixed his gaze on Lin Fan, a faint sneer appearing on his peerless face. He raised a finger. “Foolish native, do you think this is a self-destruction? You’re wrong. This is the concentration of all my power—piercing straight through you.”

Buzz!

The frost city instantly disintegrated, condensing instead between the Frost Sovereign’s hands. Between them, a cold light flickered faintly, yet Lin Fan knew that even this tiny glimmer contained terrifying power.

“Don’t think about hiding inside your furnace, because the moment you do, this power will destroy all those natives behind you.”

Lin Fan’s expression shifted slightly, but he sneered. “Hmph, you’re overestimating yourself. Do you really think this power alone can force me into my furnace? You flatter yourself too much…”

“Die!” The Frost Sovereign roared, and the vast frost energy surged forth, sweeping toward Lin Fan.

Lin Fan inhaled deeply, and his body erupted with dazzling light.

But at that very moment, something strange occurred.

From the endless void, a colossal Buddha’s hand descended, directly targeting the Frost Sovereign.

The Frost Sovereign had been entirely focused on Lin Fan, but suddenly sensing the immense force from behind, he was startled and turned to meet it—only to find that he couldn’t resist.

Peng!

The palm struck the Frost Sovereign directly, sending him flying.

Lin Fan himself was shocked by the sudden turn of events.

What was going on?

Suddenly, a vast Buddhist chant echoed from the void. “Frost Sovereign, how dare you! The one I personally intend to kill, you dare to slay?”

That voice…

Future Boundless King Buddha.

Lin Fan never expected Future Boundless King Buddha to appear at this moment. He had known that the Future Boundless King Buddha would eventually appear, but he had assumed it would be after they had fought the Sovereigns to mutual exhaustion. He hadn’t expected this.

Struck by the Future Boundless King Buddha’s palm, the Frost Sovereign spat out a mouthful of blood. His divine core cracked with a sharp sound and shattered outright.

Lin Fan caught the Frost Sovereign mid-air, his heart filled with shock. He knew the Frost Sovereign’s strength well, yet he had been struck down by a single palm from the Future Boundless King Buddha, his divine core shattered. Just how powerful had the Future Boundless King Buddha become?

“You…” The Frost Sovereign stared into the void, roaring in fury, yet he paid no heed to the fact that Lin Fan was supporting him.

At that moment, golden and black Buddhist light filled the void, dazzling and sinister. A vast demonic-Buddhist chant surged forth, completely enveloping the heavens and earth.

This power surpassed even the Immortal King realm—could it possibly be the path of the Heavenly Monarch?

“Amitabha Buddha, the Future Boundless Ancestor Buddha’s Dharma Body has descended. You insignificant insects, kneel and worship…”

A vast Buddha figure appeared in the heavens and earth, his face half demonic, half Buddhist—startling in its duality.

At the same time, the originally golden lotus platform had transformed into a blood-red lotus, composed of countless skulls, radiating terrifying malevolence that chilled the soul.
