Chapter 1111: Too Cowardly

Silence!

The universe abruptly fell silent.

Suddenly, a sharp brush stroke pierced through the tower, filling the entire void with an aura of ruthless destruction.

The Buddha of Boundless Future raised his eyebrows, “Are you trying to start a fight?”

Buzz!

The brush stroke paused, then dissipated into thin air. “I only pursue truth, and care nothing for worldly affairs. Buddha of Boundless Future, you are already walking down the wrong path. The Heavenly Monarch will grow further and further from you.”

“What concerns me is none of your business,” the Buddha of Boundless Future replied coldly. He held no respect for the Truth Immortal King. In terms of seniority, the Buddha of Boundless Future ranked higher than the Truth Immortal King, and in terms of strength, he was also significantly superior.

The ancestor of the Truth Immortal King was the Heavenly Monarch Who Listened to the Dao, but that Heavenly Monarch had long perished. Although the Truth Immortal King was an Immortal King himself, the Buddha of Boundless Future naturally held no regard for him.

The Buddha of Boundless Future departed. His next destination was the other three forbidden zones.

He was going to seek out the remaining three Immortal Kings.

Among the most powerful Immortal Kings of the Endless Continent were those three. However, the Buddha of Boundless Future was confident he could persuade them.

As for the Truth Immortal King, the Buddha of Boundless Future held nothing but disdain.

Forget the truth.

He won’t amount to much more than this in his entire life.

…

A few days later.

Lin Fan stood in the void. He saw a tall tower in the distance. Though still far away, he could already sense a force of truth.

This must be an ancient Immortal King, certainly formidable. Although Lin Fan himself was an Immortal King, he still needed to remain humble when facing the Truth Immortal King. Perhaps if he pleased the elder, he might receive some benefits. After all, such things were unpredictable.

As he stepped into the Truth Sanctuary, Lin Fan felt a vast power blocking his path.

“Just a barrier? No big deal.”

A faint smile appeared on Lin Fan’s lips. Instantly, the barrier shattered around him, and he strode forward forcefully.

“Who dares intrude upon the Truth Sanctuary?” A voice echoed in Lin Fan’s ears as he entered the domain of the sanctuary.

“Immortal King of Truth, I am a disciple of the Heaven and Earth Sect. I have come to invite you to rise once more and suppress the invaders from the Moon Shadow Continent.” Lin Fan finished speaking and waited quietly. He knew experts often preferred silence; perhaps he’d even hear some cryptic philosophical rambling. Though he might not understand it, from experience, it would likely require multiple invitations, like visiting a hermit three times before he agreed.

“Go back…” said the Truth Immortal King.

Just as expected.

Lin Fan realized his thoughts had matched exactly. The Truth Immortal King was indeed like this—his first attempt lacked sufficient sincerity. Usually, elders liked to act dignified and required careful persuasion, making them feel valued. Eventually, they would extend their help.

Lin Fan’s sole purpose in persuading the Truth Immortal King to rise was to have him bear the initial pressure. Currently, some Immortal Kings of the Endless Continent could stand against deities, but against stronger deities, they lacked the strength. Thus, they needed these ancient Immortal Kings.

Now the Truth Immortal King was telling him to leave. How could that be acceptable? He must convince him to come out.

“Immortal King of Truth, the Endless Continent is in dire straits and urgently needs your help,” Lin Fan said.

“Go back…”

Hearing the same words again, Lin Fan was momentarily stunned. Couldn’t he say anything else?

But Lin Fan was not someone who gave up easily. If he couldn’t convince the Truth Immortal King, he would never be satisfied.

“Immortal King of Truth, the beings of the Moon Shadow Continent are too powerful. We are nearly overwhelmed. If you do not rise again, the Endless Continent will be doomed,” Lin Fan continued.

“I won’t interfere in the affairs of the Endless Continent. I only pursue the truth of heaven and earth. Return from where you came,” the Truth Immortal King replied.

Lin Fan was taken aback, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. This tone seemed genuinely uninterested.

“Immortal King of Truth, if the Endless Continent is destroyed, what meaning does your truth hold?” Lin Fan asked.

“If the Endless Continent perishes, there will still be the Moon Shadow Continent. Truth transcends races…” the Truth Immortal King responded.

“Wait… the aura of the Buddha of Boundless Future… did he come here before?” Lin Fan had intended to say more, but at that moment, he sensed a fading presence in the void, one that felt oddly familiar.

“Leave, young one. I cannot and will not intervene in the affairs of the Endless Continent.” At that moment, a figure emerged from the Tower of Truth, gazing into the void.

The Truth Immortal King appeared calm and composed, his robe fluttering in the wind. He sought only truth, indifferent to all else.

Lin Fan looked at the Truth Immortal King, “I didn’t expect the Truth Immortal King to be so cowardly.”

He now understood. The Buddha of Boundless Future had come here before and must have said something to the Truth Immortal King. But why had the Buddha of Boundless Future come here?

“Reckless!” The Truth Immortal King roared in anger. He hadn’t expected a junior to dare speak to him like this. A translucent brush floated in the void, passed down from the Heavenly Monarch Who Listened to the Dao, possessing countless mysterious powers.

At this moment, the brush exuded a sharp aura, slicing through the void with ruthless decisiveness, as if a single stroke could determine life and death.

Lin Fan stood in the void, staring at the Truth Immortal King. He really wanted to throw out the “Great Fange Power” and obliterate the Truth Immortal King. But upon reflection, it wasn’t worth it. Using the “Great Fange Power” on someone like the Truth Immortal King was simply too unworthy.

“Immortal King of Truth, I, Lin Fan, have humbled myself to invite you out for the sake of the Endless Continent. Did you really think juniors were easy prey?” Lin Fan looked at the Truth Immortal King with contempt. In an instant, his Immortal King aura erupted fully, shaking the entire heavens and earth.

Feeling this aura, the Truth Immortal King’s expression changed. He hadn’t expected the person before him to actually be an Immortal King.

He controlled the truth of the heavens and earth, writing the rankings of all things, yet he hadn’t foreseen that this person had broken through to the Immortal King realm.

The Truth Immortal King glanced at Lin Fan, then turned and walked directly back into the Tower of Truth.

“What the hell!” Lin Fan hadn’t expected the Truth Immortal King to be so calm, entering the Tower of Truth directly. A cold sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. Fine, if you enjoy staying here so much, then never come out again.

The “Great Fange Power” erupted.

After ascending to the Immortal King realm, these abilities had already evolved into celestial techniques, possessing boundless mysterious power.

Odorless and colorless, they merged into the heavens and earth, completely enveloping the Tower of Truth.

To break through these “Great Fange Powers,” let’s see if you have the skill.
