131: Chapter 131 A Divine Light Shines Like a Heavenly Pardon
That golden light was not a physical entity, but the manifestation of some supreme Law.
It seemed to come from a distant, ancient, and unknown dimension, carrying a vast Law that instantly enveloped the massive Heavenly Dog Taboo.
Buzzing!!!
The golden light cascaded down like an inverted Milky Way waterfall, filled with swirling runes, and the faint sound of ancient gods chanting and murmuring could be heard.
There was only a momentary pause.
The rotting dog heads and the three thousand taboos were wiped away like a pencil drawing by an eraser, vanishing directly from this space-time... along with the suffocating stench and pressure they emitted, all returning to nothingness.
A deathly silence once again returned to the world.
Only the lingering resonance of that golden light slowly dissipated in the Void Realm, proving that the scene just now was no illusion.
[High-level Law interference detected!]
[Source: Residual Laws of an unknown deity!]
[Status: ??? (Unable to analyze)]
Looking at the prompt filled with question marks on the panel, Lin Chuan's heart shook slightly.
Unknown deity?
Just then.
Sizzle... a slight burning sensation suddenly came from Lin Chuan's main body's chest.
That was... the blood-colored handprint left by that Mysterious Old Man!
At this moment, this long-dormant handprint was actually heating up slightly, as if it had established a wondrous resonance with the golden light from before.
"Is this also the work of the Ancestors..."
Lin Chuan thought to himself.
That old man, the old woman who was the Incarnation of Granny Meng, and this golden light from an unknown source... everything behind this seemed to point toward some ancient, untraceable history of the Yanlong Empire!
However, now was not the time to investigate these things.
Since the greatest threat had been removed, Lin Chuan's gaze fell back onto the struggling six taboos of meishan below.
"amitabha buddha..."
The grand Buddhist voice rang out once more.
The Life-Reaping Sanskrit Sound Law was pushed to its limit by Lin Chuan!
Strands of Laws enveloped the six taboos of meishan, eroding its chaotic and massive body.
Roar...
The roars of the six taboos of meishan became increasingly fierce, but the frantic Laws oozing from its body were gradually replaced by strands of eerie Buddhist light.
A pious blankness appeared within its densely packed eyeballs.
Soon, it stopped struggling!
Its massive body, comparable to a mountain of flesh, began to rapidly shrink and reorganize.
A moment later.
Six Protector Divine Generals, each hundreds of feet tall with hideous faces and emitting terrifying auras, appeared behind Lin Chuan.
Some held hunting forks, some gripped long sabers, and some carried longbows on their backs... though they still retained some mutated features, the chaotic and disordered aura had vanished, replaced by a fanatical, absolute faith in Lin Chuan.
[Congratulations, Master! Successfully Enlightened the six taboos of meishan!]
['six taboos of meishan' Terror Level: ss-class seventh tier!]
[Potential Evaluation: Extremely High! This taboo contains ancient divine Laws; it is estimated to evolve into a low-tier SSS-class Old Master within half a year, with the potential to even challenge high-rank old master status!]
Seeing the prompt on the panel, Lin Chuan was overjoyed.
This trip, though fraught with danger, had yielded immense rewards.
With these six Protector Divine Generals, his confidence in facing the upcoming situation had undoubtedly increased.
"Next..."
Lin Chuan slowly turned his head, his Buddhist eyes burning with black flames looking toward the west.
Chanzhou.
The Incarnation of the Venerable of Joy, thousands of meters tall, was wantonly devouring all living beings.
Swish!!!
Just as Lin Chuan was about to set off.
A series of prompts popped up on his panel again:
[Congratulations, Master, for obtaining Power Of Will: 300 million!]
[Source: Qingzhou survivors, some citizens of the Yanlong Empire!]
300 million!
Lin Chuan was slightly stunned.
His 360-degree vision spread out, looking down at the land of Chuan Prefecture.
He saw the survivors who had just been pulled back from the brink of death kneeling in the ruins, prostrating themselves toward him in the sky.
The despair from before was gone from their eyes, replaced only by infinite gratitude and worship for "Lin Chuan."
However, besides the fanatical worship of the survivors, Lin Chuan also sensed some discordant noise.
That was... greed.
In some unknown corners within the Yanlong Empire.
In several newly renovated temples, a few fat monks stood on high platforms, spouting nonsense and loudly proclaiming something.
"Have you all seen what is happening in Chuan Prefecture? That is My Buddha manifesting!"
"As long as you donate incense money to this temple, you can receive the protection of the True Buddha and be spared from supernatural interference!"
"Donate quickly! The more you give, the greater your karmic reward!"
Using his name to amass wealth? And using his name specifically!?
Instantly, a strong killing intent surged in Lin Chuan's heart!
Faced with these ants who used his banner to swindle people and even tarnish his "reputation," he had no intention of being lenient.
"Seeking death."
With a thought from Lin Chuan.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Several bolts of pitch-black, distorted Law Thunder, tainted with evil divinity, descended from the sky without warning, accurately striking those temples.
In an instant.
Those magnificent temples, along with the monks inside who were frantically amassing wealth, were turned into fly ash, with not even a speck of dust remaining.
This scene was terrifying, as if a heavenly punishment had descended! However, it also caused those temples and ancient monasteries that were originally eager to take advantage of the situation and expand their influence to instantly extinguish their greed, trembling with fear... Inside the command center of the Yanlong Empire's main Base City.
"Bastard!!"
After seeing this scene through satellite monitoring, White Rose stood up abruptly, her face ashen.
"What is He doing?! That is the territory of our Yanlong Empire!"
"He actually dares to bring down heavenly punishment and obliterate our citizens without permission?!"
"This is an open provocation to the dignity of the Yanlong Empire!"
"He must be stopped!!"
"If He is allowed to continue acting so recklessly, where is the order!?"
"Even in the era of Terror Resurgence, the order belonging to humanity... must be maintained!!"
She roared angrily, her beautiful eyes filled with arrogance.
In her view, although Lin Chuan was powerful, he was merely an "outsider," an unstable factor that needed to be supervised and controlled.
Now that Lin Chuan dared to act at will on the Yanlong Empire's turf, it was simply lawless!
However.
Faced with her roar, the people around her all chose to remain silent.
Even that Daoist Tianji only silently closed his eyes, as if he had heard nothing.
To restrain an existence that could easily suppress an SS-class taboo!? Even if Bureau 749 of the Yanlong Empire could do it, it would surely come at a massive cost!
Besides, for the sake of a few swindling temples... doing so was simply not worth it!
