Chapter 888: Who's Afraid of Whom

With solemn and majestic bearing, a golden Buddha palm descended from the sky, like the Five Finger Mountain suppressing the Monkey King.

"You bald donkeys, do you only know palm techniques?" Lin Fan's mana churned as he punched out fiercely, colliding with the Buddha palm, producing a shocking sound.

"So strong."

From the initial exchange, Lin Fan had already gained a preliminary understanding.

The Buddha's strength definitely surpassed the Sovereign realm; that palm strike, in Lin Fan's view, still held residual power, continuous and with lingering force.

But...

Lin Fan was fearless, because he had a backup plan. Whether he could defeat this bald donkey was another matter.

"Amitabha, it is not easy for you, benefactor, to have cultivated to the Sovereign realm. Do not throw away your life for this sinner of the Buddha clan."

After the probing strike, the Buddha clan had gauged the other's depth, but what surprised them was that this human actually had Sovereign realm cultivation—utterly inconceivable.

Moreover, this human seemed to be a product of this era, which the Buddha clan found even more unbelievable.

In previous eras, there had been top-tier human experts, but they had already fallen, without even a chance to slumber or reincarnate.

The top inheritance had been completely severed; no human in later generations could possibly break through to such a realm.

Indeed, this bald donkey was testing him, but Lin Fan was utterly unafraid. Could he possibly be scared?

"I'm protecting this bald donkey, no matter what," Lin Fan said domineeringly.

Venerable Shakyamuni was almost moved to tears. This was true love! Everyone could see the Buddha's strength—absolutely formidable—yet at this moment, his bro was still protecting him, filling Venerable Shakyamuni with immense gratitude.

He almost wished he could offer himself in return.

"Bro, I will remember this kindness," Venerable Shakyamuni said with tears of gratitude, no longer caring about the two basketballs on his chest.

"Hmm, now you know how good your bro is to you," Lin Fan said.

Venerable Shakyamuni wiped the tears from his eyes and nodded emotionally, "I know."

For Venerable Shakyamuni, he never expected there to be someone so good to him in this world. He was so moved he could almost ascend.

The Buddha looked at Lin Fan and suddenly roared, "Since you, benefactor, are stubborn, I have no choice but to lead you to the Western Paradise to listen to my teachings."

The Buddha's golden dharma body was majestic and shocking, its golden light illuminating the world. Any evil or heresy before it would vanish into smoke.

"Wait..."

At that moment, Lin Fan suddenly raised his hand, signaling a pause.

"Benefactor, have you seen the error of your ways and are willing to hand over this sinner of the Buddha clan?" The Buddha's resonant voice echoed through the void, each word containing supreme heavenly might.

"Give me three seconds," Lin Fan said.

"Alright," the Buddha nodded.

Lin Fan sneered inwardly. It was time to truly unleash his power.

"Open the Sovereign Set."

Lin Fan silently chanted, quickly opening the Sovereign Set gifted by the system.

For Lin Fan, anything from the system was top-notch. If he put on this Sovereign Set, he might be able to kill this Buddha.

"Ding, obtained Sovereign Set. Auto-equipping."

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a beam of light enveloped Lin Fan's body. Lin Fan realized something was off about this set.

A dragon robe adorned his body, and he wore a crown with tassels (like Qin Shi Huang's hat). The golden beads in front covered his eyes, obstructing his vision.

"Damn, is this messing with me?"

Pfft!

At that moment, Venerable Shakyamuni suddenly couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Lin Fan turned and asked.

"Bro, where did you get this robe? The words on the back are hilarious," Venerable Shakyamuni covered his mouth to stifle his laughter.

Lin Fan was incredulous. There were words?

He immediately took off the robe, and when he saw the words, he was dumbfounded.

"Humanity, Invincible."

"I'll fuck your grandmother," Lin Fan roared. Was this a joke?

But at this point, Lin Fan had no choice. He quickly put the robe back on.

"Ding, equipped Human Sovereign Set."

"Ding, activating functions."

"Invincible Mode: Ten seconds."

"Ding, Human Sovereign Weapon: Demon-Slaying God-Exterminating Gatling."

Buzz!

In an instant, the void trembled, as if something terrifying was about to emerge.

The Buddha, who had been waiting, saw this and his brow furrowed, staring gravely at Lin Fan.

"What the hell is this?"

When Lin Fan saw the Demon-Slaying God-Exterminating Gatling, he was completely stunned. Wasn't this just "a gun in hand, I own the world"?

The moment he grasped this Human Sovereign weapon, Lin Fan felt as if he was about to explode. The power surged within him, churning violently, as if it could burst forth at any moment.

"Hmph!"

Suddenly, the Buddha grew angry. Buddha light enveloped him, and a dharma body stood in the void. Its face was solemn, its vast might covering heaven and earth, every move possessing immense power.

"Bro, no matter what, you have to be careful. This is the highest dharma body of the Buddha clan!" Venerable Shakyamuni shouted upon seeing the Buddha's dharma body.

"Hah, playing dharma bodies? Think I don't have one?"

"Sovereign Dharma Body."

Lin Fan roared. Since that was the case, he would go all out.

"Holding the sun and moon, plucking the stars—there is no one like me in the world."

A voice resounded through heaven and earth, and a massive figure suddenly appeared behind Lin Fan.

This Sovereign Dharma Body was Lin Fan's likeness.

But now, the Sovereign Dharma Body held the sun and moon, one hand like a bird's perch, with brilliant stars floating on its palm, staring arrogantly at the Buddha, as if invincible.

"Bro, your dharma body is heaven-defying!" Venerable Shakyamuni was almost stunned by Lin Fan's dharma body.

Will, laws—all were at full capacity, especially the sun, moon, and stars in its hands, which were vividly real.

Lin Fan didn't understand these things, but Venerable Shakyamuni was knowledgeable. A truly powerful dharma body was something everyone dreamed of.

But condensing such a dharma body was extremely difficult. Yet now, such a dharma body appeared before him—how could Venerable Shakyamuni not be shocked?

The Buddha saw Lin Fan's dharma body and his heart trembled, finding it incredible. How could a human at the Sovereign realm condense such a dharma body?

"Benefactor, turn back now," the Buddha said, pressing his palms together. As they met, a golden light burst from between them, shooting straight at Lin Fan.

"Bald donkey, I'll have a good fight with you..."

Lin Fan felt the crisis brought by the Buddha, but he was not afraid. Wasn't it just a fight? Who's afraid of whom?
