Chapter 1144: It Was All an Illusion

Lin Fan revealed a sinister smile; he had finally caught an opportunity.

"Heaven and Earth Furnace."

He grabbed the Future Immeasurable King Buddha and pulled him directly into the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

Swish!

Lin Fan vanished between heaven and earth, but when he saw what was in his hand, he was stunned. What the hell, only an arm was left? Where did that bald donkey go?

When Lin Fan emerged from the Heaven and Earth Furnace, the Future Immeasurable King Buddha, missing an arm, fled into the void, snarling, "Kid, just you wait, just you wait..."

The Future Immeasurable King Buddha was on the verge of collapse. He hadn't expected this kid to be so despicable and shameless. He thought there was only one treasure that would trap him, but now there was another.

When he felt the kid grab him, he sensed something was wrong, as if he had been tricked. Without any hesitation, he cut off his own arm. Later, he realized he had acted decisively; if he hadn't cut off his arm, he might have been dragged into that mysterious furnace along with the kid.

He didn't know what to say now. The kid, who had once seemed like trash in his eyes, had grown to this level.

Lin Fan looked at the void and curled his lips. He hadn't expected that bald donkey to escape again. He was too cautious, not giving Lin Fan any chance at all.

Suddenly, Lin Fan noticed some movement inside the Buddha's hand.

"Eh?"

Lin Fan examined it curiously.

"Benefactor!"

Suddenly, a voice reached Lin Fan's ears.

Looking closely, Lin Fan saw that inside the Buddha's palm were ten bald donkeys being suppressed.

"Who are you?" Lin Fan asked. He hadn't expected the Future Immeasurable King Buddha's palm to contain such things.

"Benefactor, we are the Supreme Ancestors of the Good and Evil Buddha Sect, suppressed here by the Future Immeasurable King Buddha," one of the bald donkeys said.

Lin Fan looked them over carefully. "You say so, but I don't know that."

"Your suspicion is understandable. We hear you are a disciple of the Heaven and Earth Sect. If you would, please take us back to the sect. Your sect's ancestor, Geng Yangtian, will surely recognize us."

Lin Fan nodded. "Alright, I'll take you back."

He then put the Buddha's hand into his backpack. He hadn't expected the Future Immeasurable King Buddha to have suppressed these bald donkeys. But since he didn't know them, he would take them to the sect to see if they were genuine. If not, he would harvest them all then.

Looking into the distance, Lin Fan vanished into the void and headed back to the sect.

The fleeing Future Immeasurable King Buddha emerged from the void. He suddenly realized that the arm he had cut off contained the suppressed bald donkeys of the Good and Evil Buddha Sect.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, the Future Immeasurable King Buddha roared. It wasn't just a suspicion—it was absolutely true. He had cut off his own arm, and those guys were still sealed inside the palm!

These fellows were part of his plan. Now that they were lost, what was he to do?

Damn it, utterly damn it. He would have to kill that kid in the future, or he would never be able to vent his hatred.

"Who's there? Come out!" At that moment, the Future Immeasurable King Buddha sensed a mysterious aura in the void.

"Future Immeasurable King Buddha, long time no see. How miserable you look now." A mass of black mist spread through the void, then gradually condensed into a solid form, a figure shrouded in a black robe, its face unclear.

Seeing this person, the Future Immeasurable King Buddha frowned, his tone filled with disbelief. "It's you..."

"Indeed," the black-robed figure said in a low, hoarse voice. Without looking, one couldn't even sense his presence.

"What do you want?" The Future Immeasurable King Buddha watched the figure warily, not letting his guard down. Now that he had cut off his arm and lost those fellows, it was regrettable but bearable. Then, with a surge of Buddhist power, the severed arm regenerated, but it wasn't the same as before.

"I suppose you're wondering about that kid's origin. Perhaps I can tell you," the black-robed figure said.

"Would you be so kind?" The Future Immeasurable King Buddha sneered.

The black-robed figure didn't respond to his remark but said, "As far as I know, he is the reincarnation of the New Harvest Heavenly Lord."

"Impossible. Reincarnation requires the Heavenly Lord's origin. When the New Harvest Heavenly Lord fell, his origin dissipated long ago. Don't try to fool me," the Future Immeasurable King Buddha said.

The black-robed figure laughed. "Believe it or not. The Heavenly Lord's origin did shatter, but you probably don't know that the New Harvest Heavenly Lord foresaw this. Afraid you would fight over his origin, he created an illusion. You've been fooled for hundreds of thousands of years. How pathetic."

The Future Immeasurable King Buddha thought of the Heaven and Earth True Scripture, then looked at the black-robed figure. "Why are you telling me this? What do you want?"

The black-robed figure sneered. "I think we can cooperate... I'll help you become a Heavenly Lord."

The Future Immeasurable King Buddha scoffed. "You?"

The black-robed figure laughed heartily, then his tone turned utterly grim. "In this world, no one understands the path of the Heavenly Lord better than I, not even the New Harvest Heavenly Lord. You are no exception."

"Ridiculous. Do you think I, the King Buddha, can be intimidated by a few words? Is even the Wentian Heavenly Lord inferior to you?" the Future Immeasurable King Buddha sneered.

The black-robed figure said nothing. He then removed his hood. When the Future Immeasurable King Buddha saw his face, he was completely stunned. After a deep breath, he said, "Fine. As long as you help me attain the path of the Heavenly Lord, I will agree to anything."

"But I doubt what you say. Why is that kid so treacherous? The treasures he has are also insidious. If he were the reincarnation of the New Harvest Heavenly Lord, he wouldn't be like this."

The black-robed figure paused, as if stumped, then said calmly, "That too is an illusion, to avoid being recognized by you."

The Future Immeasurable King Buddha was deeply skeptical. Illusions? There were too many illusions.

But now he couldn't think too much. As long as he attained the path of the Heavenly Lord, he could abandon everything.

...

Heaven and Earth Sect.

Lin Fan was a bit tired after chasing the Future Immeasurable King Buddha for so long, but the harvest this time was truly abundant.

He had thrown the main gods of the Moon Shadow Continent into chaos, causing heavy losses.

If he went out to kill a few more times, wouldn't he soar to the heavens?

He then went straight into the depths of the sect.

"Ancestor, come out quickly. Take a look at these bald donkeys and tell me who they are." Lin Fan took out the Future Immeasurable King Buddha's arm. He wanted to confirm. If the ancestor said he didn't know them, he would throw them into the Heaven and Earth Furnace and refine them.

Nine at the Immortal King level and one at the Immortal Venerable level—not bad at all.

Maybe his own strength could increase by a large margin.
