103: Chapter 103 Approaching SS Rank, Lin Chuan's Power of Rules
"Seal!!"
Zhou Kai shouted as the [prophecy pen] in his hand outlined a giant black character for "Seal" in the Void Realm.
As soon as the "Seal" character took shape, it transformed into countless pitch-black Rule Chains, covering the shadow on the Divine Throne like an inescapable net.
Upon the chains, countless wronged Souls could be vaguely heard wailing, emitting a heart-palpitating sealing power.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle..."
The chains wrapped around the shadow, making a sound like a hot iron entering water, and bursts of black smoke rose.
Seeing this, a sharp light flashed in Zhou Kai's eyes, and the Rule Power beneath his pen erupted further, attempting to completely suppress the medium of the [Celestial Standing Venerable]!
Behind him, the Ghost Controllers of the Land of Rebirth on the Other Shore also unleashed their strongest methods.
Someone summoned a giant ghost face, spitting a highly corrosive poison mist at the shadow.
Someone controlled countless bone spears, shooting towards the Divine Throne like a rainstorm.
Others directly transformed into a mass of black shadows, trying to crush and dismantle the Divine Throne... various eerie Rule Powers intertwined, forming a colorful yet murderous net that tightly trapped the shadow of the [Celestial Standing Venerable] within.
In the distance, White Rose looked at the Rule Ability displayed by Zhou Kai, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
But immediately, a cold sneer curled at the corner of her mouth.
"Too naive."
"To actually dream of sealing the medium of an s-rank ninth-tier taboo!"
Just as White Rose finished speaking.
"Crack!"
A crisp sound of shattering rang out.
The giant "Seal" character written by Zhou Kai suddenly developed a tiny crack.
Immediately following.
The crack spread rapidly like a spider web.
"Bang!!!"
The entire "Seal" character shattered with a boom, turning into countless black points of light and dissipating into the air.
Zhou Kai groaned, a trace of blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, and even the [prophecy pen] in his hand was faintly about to break.
"Ants..."
The shadow on the Divine Throne emitted a disdainful whisper.
Then, tentacles reached out from its body, swinging violently, sending all the surrounding Ghost Controllers... flying.
And right at this moment.
Dong... a dull and melodious bell toll suddenly came from the [Black Church] not far away.
Within this tolling was a divine majesty, as if it wanted to wash away all the sins of the world.
Accompanied by the fading bell toll, the church doors slowly opened. A phantom figure walked out.
It was a Priest wearing black robes whose face could not be seen clearly.
He emitted a terrifying Aura, like a supreme deity!
The Priest was precisely the Incarnation of the will of the [taboo of sin]!
In his left hand, he held a Parchment Scroll, while his other hand held a slender Black Wooden Stick.
He slowly walked to the steps in front of the church, his gaze passing over everyone to look directly at the shadow on the Divine Throne.
"I come to pronounce..."
"I come to punish..."
"I come to judge..."
His voice was unlike human speech, carrying an ancient, awkward, yet eerie rhythm that struck the Soul directly.
"You are guilty."
Before his voice had even faded.
He lightly tapped with the wooden stick in his hand.
Buzz!!!
An invisible rule fluctuation instantly descended upon the medium of the [Celestial Standing Venerable].
The shadow shook violently, as if a great mountain had been pressed onto its body.
Its movements became sluggish, and the Aura on its body began to become chaotic.
"My Lord is immeasurable!!"
"Everyone, follow My Lord to suppress one of the calamities of the Neon Country..."
Petrovsky roared.
Hearing this, the Taboo Kin of the Shaven Empire rushed forward as if they had gone mad.
They disregarded life and death, their faces full of fanaticism!
Under the siege of the crowd, the Projection of the Celestial Standing Venerable was actually suppressed!
It struggled constantly but was still unable to break free from that layer of invisible shackles.
"It worked?!"
Everyone felt a surge of joy.
But in the next second.
An even more terrifying, even more desperate Aura erupted from beneath that Divine Throne!
"I... am the Heavens..."
"The Heavens... are me..."
This voice did not seem to come from the mouth of any creature, but more like a murmur from the distant primordial era, crossing countless planes.
It carried an indescribable and vast flow of information, instantly rushing into the minds of everyone present.
"Ah!!!"
Many people clutched their heads and screamed in agony.
Their eyes began to fill with blood, their skin began to fester, and their sanity completely collapsed at this moment.
Even Taboo Masters like Zhou Kai and Petrovsky felt as if their heads were about to explode, bleeding from their seven orifices as they knelt on the ground.
The will of the [Celestial Standing Venerable]'s true body was descending!!
"It's over..."
In the distance, White Rose's legs were trembling as she saw this scene.
Although there was a distance, and the Celestial Standing Venerable did not directly target the people of the Yanlong Empire.
Yet, a most primal fear continued to spread in everyone's hearts.
Just as everyone was deep in fear.
"na mo... amitabha buddha..."
A grand, distorted, yet strangely sacred Buddhist chant suddenly rang out between heaven and earth.
This voice was not loud.
Yet it easily overpowered the whispers of the ancient god, pulling everyone back from the brink of collapse.
Immediately following.
Crack!
A huge rift suddenly split open in the Void Realm above Takama-ga-hara.
Within that rift, an endless, deep Chaos darkness that seemed capable of swallowing everything overflowed... and within that darkness.
A hazy and blurred giant Buddha face, large enough to obscure the entire sky, slowly emerged.
That face was too large.
So large that people simply could not see its full appearance.
One could only see those giant eyes, flowing with blood-tears like two blood moons, coldly watching the shadow below.
On either side of that giant face.
The [Fallen Heaven Resentful Spirit] hung upside down in the air, like a Protector from Hell.
The [Weeping Blood Rakshasa] had a hideous expression, her eyes full of bloodthirsty desire.
And below the giant face.
Countless giant Bone Lotuses bloomed out of thin air, with a distorted phantom of a Bodhisattva sitting cross-legged on each lotus.
Furthermore, countless hideous Arhats and evil ghosts flickered in the Void Realm, emitting hair-raising chanting sounds.
At this moment.
It was as if a true Dark Buddha Kingdom had descended upon the mortal world!
"This... what is this?!"
White Rose's eyes widened, her whole body trembling.
She felt like an ant looking up at a true deity.
That sense of oppression made her fall from one fear into another, deeper fear... "My Buddha..."
Zhou Kai knelt on the ground, respectful and fanatical.
Inside the Rebirth Temple.
Lin Chuan's evil buddha golden body was currently emitting Chaos black light!
The Rule Power within him was burning wildly, and through the [Coughing Ghoul] as a medium, it was projected without reservation into the sky above Takama-ga-hara.
At the same time, his three-layered Taboo Domain... completely unfolded!!
Buzz!!!
In an instant, centered on Lin Chuan's Buddha face.
The space within a five-kilometer radius was instantly shrouded in black Buddha light.
Within this Domain.
Lin Chuan's Rule Power received a thirty-fold increase!
At this moment.
Although his horror level was only S-Rank Eighth Tier.
With the enhancement of the three-layered Taboo Domain, the rule fluctuations he erupted were already infinitely close to... SS-Rank!!
"amitabha buddha..."
A Buddhist chant rippled out.
Its sound was like a clap of thunder, shaking the entire ruins of Takama-ga-hara.
Immediately after, a sky-obscuring Black Buddha Hand reached out from the rift in the Void Realm.
Within the Buddha hand, there seemed to be three thousand Buddha kingdoms and ten directions of the Universe, carrying a terrifying Aura that crushed and swallowed everything, violently grabbing towards the shadow on the Divine Throne.
Feeling the threat, the shadow also moved.
From within the shadow, countless tentacles rose into the sky, attempting to block the Buddha hand.
But the Buddha hand at this moment was like the Dominator of this world.
Anything blocking its path would be ruthlessly crushed.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Those tentacles were like fragile withered branches before the Buddha hand, snapping and exploding one after another.
Finally, the Buddha hand landed on the Divine Throne without any hindrance.
