243: Since you have seen the future Buddha, why not worship him?

“The Buddha’s Relics are precious indeed, but I wonder how much of their power you can unleash?” Qin Han said slowly, his expression unchanged.

“You’ll find out soon enough.” A hint of madness flashed in Jiekong’s eyes.

He suddenly grabbed a Relic and forcefully pulled it out of the bone.

This action made people’s scalps tingle; the pain was comparable to scraping bone.

But Jiekong had no retreat now; all his trump cards combined couldn’t defeat Qin Han.

This was no longer just a simple grudge, but a clash of Prodigies.

If he were to lose, his invincible heart would be damaged, and a Heart Demon would surely arise when he attempted a Breakthrough in the future.

For this, he would not hesitate to use his greatest trump card, just to win this contention!

Immediately, the Relic, the size of a pinky finger, was pulled out by him and forcefully shoved into his mouth and swallowed.

In an instant, violent winds raged across the heavens and earth, dark clouds gathered, and a gigantic Buddha phantom appeared.

It sat enthroned in the abyss, countless Buddhist lights shooting out thousands of feet, illuminating the dark night.

Strangely, the black sea summoned by the Kunpeng continuously dissolved under the illumination of the Buddhist light, even causing the Kunpeng itself to show signs of melting.

“A one-time consumable?” Qin Han’s eyes narrowed, and he quickly brought the Kunpeng into his Divine Palace.

Just in case something unexpected happened.

Jiekong’s body continuously grew, all the Devilish Qi on him was purified, and all evil was gone.

What remained was only the solemn halo of a Buddha.

Not only that, even his facial features changed.

He transformed from a young monk with red lips and white teeth into a Buddha statue with large ears.

It was as if he had undergone Possession by the will within the Relic!

Seeing this, Qin Han finally understood why Wu De had been so shocked and wary when he first heard about the Three Thousand Relics.

“So that’s it, Buddhism actually has a Possession Divine Ability.” A hint of solemnity flashed in Qin Han’s eyes.

It was clear that Jiekong had completely thrown caution to the wind; he wanted to defeat Qin Han in this manner, even at the cost of obliterating his own consciousness.

This kind of Possession technique was extremely dangerous; a slight mishap could lead to complete descent into darkness.

“Om!”

Accompanying a ringing bell, Jiekong’s body grew to a hundred feet tall, and a Buddhist disc even manifested behind his head.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and within his pupils seemed to contain myriad Buddhist Dao, making it difficult to look directly at him.

“Since you have seen the Future Buddha, why do you not bow?”

A grand voice reverberated throughout the world; although its tone was calm, it struck Qin Han’s ears like a sudden clap of thunder, exploding loudly.

Qin Han felt his eardrums shatter, blood gushing out, his face as pale as gold leaf.

“Such powerful strength…”

The Future Buddha was originally the most promising powerful being from Xuankong Temple to achieve the Buddha’s Fruit Position.

However, during the dark turmoil, for the safety of Ximo Ancient State, he resolutely took action, using Great Time Arts to deduce the future, seeking a glimmer of hope for all living beings.

He alone repelled tens of thousands of evil demons; such a feat brought tears to everyone’s eyes.

For this, people even erected a golden Buddha statue for him, which still stands today, receiving incense day and night.

Now, Jiekong actually dared to swallow the Future Buddha’s Relic, attempting to borrow his power to kill himself.

Such a ferocious method was truly ruthless.

“While the Future Buddha is revered by the world, you are a Demonic Buddha by nature; what right do you have to demand my worship?” Qin Han’s injuries instantly recovered.

“Presumptuous! Today, this Buddha shall suppress you in this boundless abyss, never to experience Reincarnation!”

The Future Buddha was enraged, and his palm struck down, his Aura magnificent.

Facing such terrifying destructive power, Qin Han felt immense pressure.

Because within this power, there was actually a trace of Dao power.

And it was the Dao of Time.

The most terrifying and mysterious Dao in the Archaic Great Thousand World!

In just an instant, the palm pierced through time and arrived overhead, striking down forcefully.

Qin Han roared, pushing his Immortal Body to the extreme, his Immortal Gold-like fist fiercely meeting the incoming attack!

Bang!

The moment they touched, his expression drastically changed; his power was strangely weakened by seventy percent.

How could the remaining thirty percent be his opponent?

His body was directly suppressed into the ground, his Qi and blood churned incessantly, and he vomited blood violently.

“How dare a presumptuous junior act so fiercely?” The Future Buddha struck again, slamming the ground, making a deafening sound.

Qin Han’s Immortal Body was indestructible, but unfortunately, the palm contained the Dao of Time, leaving him no chance to retaliate.

He could only watch helplessly as the palm continuously descended, his tendons and bones shattering, his internal organs feeling displaced.

A familiar look of madness appeared on the Future Buddha’s face; this was Jiekong’s lingering thoughts at work.

He felt extremely pleased seeing Qin Han being tormented.

“If you had known this, would you regret being an enemy of this Buddha?” The Future Buddha questioned.

“Cough, cough!”

Qin Han felt as if his body had fallen apart, with the power of time lingering within him, preventing him from healing.

Whenever the Immortal Runes glowed with immortal light, attempting to repair his injuries, a strange temporal regression would occur.

Making him return to his severely injured state.

“As expected of the Dao of Time, it is indeed unfathomable.” Qin Han grinned, showing no sign of regret.

The Future Buddha was immensely enraged, “Unrepentant, so be it. Then I shall send you to eternal slumber here.”

As he spoke, a Time Stele suddenly appeared in the Void Realm, covered in temporal light runes, distorting even the Void Realm itself.

Qin Han looked up at it, his pupils suddenly contracting.

If he were suppressed by the Time Stele, he would be completely lost in the past and future, unable to escape forever.

“What a ruthless bald monk.” A cold glint flashed across Qin Han’s face, and he suddenly unleashed all his Divine Palace True Spirits.

Eight ferocious divine spirits roared out, endless wild Qi surged, and their destructive might was boundless.

However, the Future Buddha merely glanced at them and shook his head, saying, “Petty tricks.”

He lightly tapped his finger, and the charging primordial beasts strangely retreated a hundred feet.

Moreover, no matter how they charged, they could not leave the space beneath their feet.

“The power of time is unique in the world. This Buddha asks you one more time, since you have seen the Future Buddha, why do you not bow?”

Boom!

Thunder roared again, and Qin Han felt as if he had been struck by a divine mountain, his body flying backward, his bones like shattered glass, showing countless cracks.

“I bow to your mother.” Qin Han spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Stubborn and incorrigible! Slap him!”

Suddenly, a void palm fiercely slapped Qin Han’s face, directly sending him flying and crashing heavily into the mountain wall, creating a human-shaped pit.

“Without the power of the Great Dao, this Buddha can torment you here for decades, even centuries.” The Future Buddha slowly said.

At this moment, a mocking laugh came from within the pit, “The power of the Great Dao? What’s so difficult about that?”

“You’re a Martial Artist who hasn’t even gathered nine divine spirits; could it be that you can directly Break through to the Faxiang Realm?” The Future Buddha scoffed.

Qin Han, his body covered in blood, walked out of the pit, slowly raising his eyelids and saying, “Before, I truly hadn’t found the ninth divine spirit, but now that I’ve seen you, I have the answer.”

“Is that so? Where is it?” The Future Buddha still maintained his sarcastic expression.

“Far away in the sky, yet close at hand.” Qin Han pointed to his glabella.
