The Buddha’s image was majestic and imposing, with a golden palm descending from the sky like the Five-Finger Mountain suppressing the Monkey King.
“You bald fools, do you only know palm techniques?” Lin Fan roared, his power surging as he threw a punch that collided with the golden palm, creating a thunderous explosion.
“So strong.”
After this initial clash, Lin Fan already had a rough estimate.
The Buddha’s strength definitely surpassed the Zenith Realm, and in Lin Fan’s eyes, that palm still held back some power, with continuous force and an even greater potential yet to be unleashed.
But…
Lin Fan was not afraid, for he still had hidden cards up his sleeve. Whether he could defeat this bald monk or not was another matter entirely.
“Amitabha, cultivator, reaching the Zenith Realm was no easy feat. Do not throw your life away for this criminal of the Buddha race.”
After this initial probing move, the Buddha race had already gauged the opponent’s strength. However, what astonished them was that this human had actually reached the Zenith Realm—an unbelievable feat.
Moreover, this human appeared to be a product of the current eon, which the Buddha race found even harder to believe.
In previous eons, there had been supreme human experts, but they had long perished, leaving not even a chance for slumber or reincarnation.
Their top-tier inheritances had been completely severed, making it absolutely impossible for any descendant to reach such a realm.
Indeed, this monk was merely testing him, but Lin Fan was unfazed. As if he’d be scared so easily.
“This bald monk, I’m protecting him,” Lin Fan declared arrogantly.
At this moment, Sakya was nearly moved to tears. This was true love! Everyone could see how powerful the Buddha before them was—absolutely formidable. Yet at this moment, his “big brother” was still protecting him, deeply touching Sakya.
He was even willing to offer himself in return.
“Big brother, I’ll remember this favor for life,” Sakya said emotionally, no longer even caring about the two basketball-sized orbs resting on his chest.
“Yeah, now you know how good your big brother is to you,” Lin Fan replied.
Sakya wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and nodded gratefully, “I know.”
To Sakya, it was unimaginable that someone in this world could be so good to him. He was overwhelmed with emotion—so moved he felt like he could fly to the heavens.
The Buddha looked at Lin Fan and roared, “Since the cultivator insists on being stubborn and unyielding, then I shall lead you to the Western Pure Land to listen to this Buddha’s teachings.”
The Buddha’s golden dharma body was majestic and awe-inspiring, its golden radiance illuminating the world. Any evil or heresy before it would vanish into oblivion.
“Wait…”
At this moment, Lin Fan suddenly raised his hand, signaling for a pause.
“Has the cultivator finally seen the light and decided to hand over this criminal of the Buddha race?” The Buddha’s thunderous voice echoed through the void, each word carrying supreme divine authority.
“Give me three seconds,” Lin Fan said.
“Fine.” The Buddha nodded.
Lin Fan inwardly sneered. It was time to unleash his true power.
“Activate the Zenith Set.”
Lin Fan silently commanded, quickly activating the Zenith Set gifted by the system.
To Lin Fan, anything the system produced was top-tier. If he wore this Zenith Set, he might even stand a chance of defeating the Buddha.
“Ding! Zenith Set acquired. Please equip it yourself.”
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a ray of light enveloped Lin Fan’s body. But Lin Fan quickly realized something was off about this set.
He was clad in a dragon robe, wearing a ceremonial crown (like the First Emperor’s headpiece), with golden beads in front that obscured his vision.
“What the hell? Are you messing with me?”
Hmph!
At this moment, Sakya suddenly burst into laughter.
“What are you laughing at?” Lin Fan turned and asked.
“Big brother, where did you get this outfit? The words on the back are so funny,” Sakya covered his mouth, trying not to laugh out loud.
Lin Fan was displeased. Were there words on it?
He immediately took off the robe and, upon seeing the words, was momentarily stunned.
“Human Race, Invincible.”
“What the hell! This is a joke, right?!” Lin Fan roared, utterly furious.
But at this point, he had no time to dwell. He quickly put the robe back on.
“Ding! Equipping the Human Race Zenith Set.”
“Ding! Activating functions.”
“Invincibility Mode: Ten seconds.”
“Ding! Human Race Zenith Weapon, Demon-Slaying and God-Annihilating Gatling.”
Buzz!
In an instant, the void trembled, as if something terrifying was about to emerge.
The Buddha, who had been waiting all this time, saw this and furrowed his brows, watching Lin Fan with growing seriousness.
“What kind of devilry is this?”
When Lin Fan saw the Demon-Slaying and God-Annihilating Gatling, he was completely stunned. Wasn’t this the ultimate weapon—once wielded, the world was his?
The moment he grasped this Zenith Weapon of the Human Race, Lin Fan felt his power surge, as if he were about to transcend limits. The energy roared within him, ready to erupt at any moment.
“Hmph!”
Suddenly, the Buddha grew furious. Golden light from the Buddha’s halo enveloped the area, and a dharma body stood in the void. Its face was solemn, exuding an immense aura that filled the heavens and earth, each movement carrying tremendous power.
“Big brother, no matter what, be careful. This is the Buddha race’s absolute highest dharma body,” Sakya shouted in alarm upon seeing the Buddha’s form.
“Pfft! Think you’re the only one with a dharma body?”
“Zenith Dharma Body!”
Lin Fan roared. If it was a contest of dharma bodies, then it was time to go all out.
“Grasping sun and moon, plucking stars, there is none like me under the heavens!”
A mighty figure echoed through the skies, and a colossal form abruptly appeared behind Lin Fan.
This Zenith Dharma Body bore Lin Fan’s likeness.
But now, it grasped the sun and moon, its hands like celestial altars, with dazzling stars floating above its palms. It gazed at the Buddha with an air of invincibility.
“Big brother, your dharma body is insane!” Sakya exclaimed, nearly stunned.
Its willpower and laws were fully charged, especially the sun, moon, and stars in its hands—real, living entities.
Lin Fan didn’t understand such things well, but Sakya was an expert. A truly formidable dharma body was the dream of every cultivator.
Yet to condense such a dharma body was extremely difficult. Now, such a form stood before him—how could Sakya not be shocked?
When the Buddha saw Lin Fan’s dharma body, his heart quivered, finding it unbelievable. How could a human of the Zenith Realm possibly condense such a dharma body?
“Return to the right path while there’s still time,” the Buddha intoned, joining his palms. In that instant, a golden light erupted between his hands, directly surging toward Lin Fan.
“You bald monk, this Emperor will gladly fight you to the end…”
Lin Fan felt the danger emanating from the Buddha, but his heart remained unshaken. So what if it was a fight? Who was afraid of whom?
