Chapter 1024: Let’s Retreat.

“Desireless and wishless, all merges into one.”

A voice, the most demonic of demons, the evilest of evildoers, echoed from within the Mountain of Sealing.

Slash!

Sublimation, burning one’s very essence.

Wuyu, the Devil Ancestor, had been sealed here for tens of thousands of years, his power suppressed. Especially after being severely drained by Lin Fan, his accumulated magical energy had nearly been depleted.

Now, he was willing to expend his most precious life essence to unleash an ultimate ability, something no one had anticipated.

Evil energy surged into the heavens, an ancient and unyielding demonic will surged forth, directly slicing toward the palm of the Future Immeasurable Buddha.

Puchi!

The palm shattered.

Qi Zhanyu and Jin Zhen Gu also fell downward.

Lin Fan seized the opportunity, roaring fiercely as he swung the Eternal Axe in his hand through the void. Filled with all his strength, it slashed directly into the space where the Future Immeasurable Buddha resided.

Boom!

Heaven and earth trembled, the momentum shocking and awe-inspiring, space itself violently surging in rebellion, sweeping across the world.

“Cursed! Cursed! Wuyu, Devil Ancestor, you actually…” The Future Immeasurable Buddha’s voice abruptly ceased, instantly disintegrating into countless specks of dust, vanishing into the world.

Lin Fan heavily exhaled, supporting himself on one knee, sweat pouring down his forehead.

That single strike had drained him completely.

“Devil Ancestor Wuyu, you actually helped me,” Lin Fan raised his head toward the Mountain of Sealing, revealing a look of astonishment.

He hadn’t expected that in the final moment, it was Wuyu, the Devil Ancestor, who had come to his aid. Otherwise, the outcome would certainly have been different.

“An unending feud between life and death!”

Wuyu, the Devil Ancestor from within the Mountain of Sealing, gave no reply, only transmitting these four words before falling silent once more.

Lin Fan didn’t understand what had happened, but at this moment, he didn’t dwell on it.

Qi Zhanyu and Jin Zhen Gu quickly stepped forward.

“Big brother, are you alright?” They were somewhat anxious, not knowing exactly what had occurred.

“Big brother, how was my performance just now?” Qi Zhanyu smiled as he spoke.

Lin Fan was momentarily stunned, looking up at Qi Zhanyu. “Performance?”

“Yeah, that guy actually dared to threaten big brother. Doesn’t he know we have the Li Yun Dan given by you?” Qi Zhanyu said, as if it was nothing serious.

Lin Fan couldn’t help but bitterly smile. What had happened just now wasn’t a performance; it had been life or death. If it hadn’t been for the Devil Ancestor intervening, the outcome might have been entirely different.

Even with his all-out strike just now, he probably wouldn’t have inflicted any real damage on the Future Immeasurable Buddha.

Lin Fan’s body was completely drained of magical energy, even his cells feeling hollow and empty.

“Just now, it wasn’t a performance; it was a true master of power,” Lin Fan said.

Qi Zhanyu and Jin Zhen Gu were momentarily stunned, then quickly returned to normal, no longer dwelling on it. “Big brother, what should we do now?”

“First, let’s get out of here,” Lin Fan took a deep breath. The Wutong Divine Tree quickly activated, its life force surging forth, replenishing the magical energy missing from his body.

The Celestial Furnace, which had traversed countless worlds, appeared. Lin Fan immediately retrieved it into his backpack.

He had finally realized that even the Celestial Furnace had its vulnerabilities.

One flower, one world. His opponent had directly cast his Celestial Furnace into countless worlds—a situation Lin Fan had never encountered before.

But what troubled Lin Fan the most was why the Devil Ancestor Wuyu had helped him in the end.

Could it be because of the feud between himself and the Future Immeasurable Buddha?

However, even without the Devil Ancestor’s help, Lin Fan had already decided to fight the Future Immeasurable Buddha to the bitter end.

That damned bastard actually dared threaten him. If he didn’t crush him thoroughly, his heart would never find peace.

Lin Fan glanced at the Mountain of Sealing one last time, then without hesitation, left the place supported by Qi Zhanyu and Jin Zhen Gu.

Outside!

Lin Fan sat cross-legged. This time, he had suffered a great loss and would need some time to recover.

“Let us out!”

“Cursed! Who exactly are you people?”

At this moment, the Heaven and Earth Net contained many cultivators of the demonic path. As soon as they emerged, they were captured by the net. Under the suppression of this top-grade immortal artifact, escape was impossible.

“Big brother, what should we do with them?” Qi Zhanyu asked.

Lin Fan looked at these people, then directly stripped them of everything, not leaving even a single hair behind. To avoid trouble, he executed them all.

Now, Lin Fan’s cultivation had reached the Golden Immortal Realm, and these people were far too weak to grant him much experience.

Before fully recovering his strength and magical energy, Lin Fan wouldn’t allow himself any unnecessary trouble, so he eliminated them all.

Just as Lin Fan was preparing to focus on recovery, his expression suddenly changed.

Crack!

The arm that had been severed during the battle with the Future Immeasurable Buddha and had regrown afterward was now acting strangely.

A golden halo flickered faintly on Lin Fan’s arm.

A gloomy voice sounded, “Merciful is the Buddha, you have already fallen into reincarnation.”

Upon hearing this voice, Lin Fan was greatly startled. He hadn’t expected the Future Immeasurable Buddha to be this formidable.

Even though he had seemingly driven him away, the Buddha had still managed to leave a mark on him.

“Future Immeasurable Buddha, you’re really asking for death,” Lin Fan inwardly raged.

“Haha, I shall accompany you until my return,” the Future Immeasurable Buddha’s voice echoed. It was an ultimate ability, directly attaching itself to Lin Fan’s body. Wherever Lin Fan went, he would be under the Buddha’s control.

“Cursed! Do you really think you can touch me? Great Dream Boundless, Three Lifetimes of Reincarnation!”

Lin Fan roared, a mysterious willpower suddenly erupting.

“Qi Zhanyu, Jin Zhen Gu, both of you protect me as we leave,” Lin Fan didn’t waste words, immediately entering the state of the Three Lifetimes of Reincarnation.

“Big brother?” Qi Zhanyu and Jin Zhen Gu didn’t fully understand yet, but when they finally realized what was happening, they found their big brother had suddenly shut his eyes, his aura gradually weakening, as if turning into a living corpse.

“Big brother, what’s wrong with you?” Qi Zhanyu immediately rushed to Lin Fan’s side, asking anxiously.

“He told us to take him away. Something must have happened. Let’s go,” Jin Zhen Gu said.

The fat Qi Zhanyu immediately carried Lin Fan on his back, then looked in all directions.

“I know a relatively safe direction. Let’s go there,” Qi Zhanyu said.

Jin Zhen Gu nodded, immediately retracting the Heaven and Earth Net and vanishing into the void, flying rapidly into the distance.

After flying out of that area, the two immediately descended from the void.

“We’ll walk. Otherwise, staying in the void might be too dangerous,” Qi Zhanyu said.

“Yeah,” Jin Zhen Gu nodded. He knew that if they continued to stay in the void, the danger would be great.

Their cultivation levels were not high. If they remained in the void, encountering a powerful opponent would mean certain interception, which would be very troublesome.
