135: Chapter 135 Evolution to SS-Rank Seventh Tier! First Manifestation of Divinity
"Aaahhh!!!"
At this moment, White Rose let out a shrill scream; the sound no longer seemed human, filled with twisted madness and despair.
Her body convulsed violently in mid-air.
Even before Lin Chuan made a move against her, the Rule Mist spread by the Jingguan Joyful Venerable Incarnation had already begun to crawl into her seven orifices and pores like a living swarm of insects, eroding her every cell and every inch of flesh.
Her skin began to turn transparent, revealing the writhing blood vessels and muscles beneath.
A sickly, intoxicated flush appeared on her face, and her eyes became glazed and fanatical.
"So comfortable... so happy..."
She muttered to herself, her hands beginning to tear at her clothes, even clawing her own skin raw.
That was... the beginning of her fall.
But the pain did not end there.
"na mo, om, ma, ni..."
Lin Chuan's Life-Reaping Sanskrit Sound also descended.
Black Sanskrit characters flew through the sky, echoing like bells, shattering her sanity inch by inch.
"No... don't..."
White Rose's expression switched frantically between ultimate ecstasy and ultimate agony.
One moment she was laughing licentiously, the next she was wailing in despair.
Her body continuously mutated, sprouting countless eerie small hands and eyeballs.
"Save me... I am the Captain of Bureau 749... I am..."
She reached out with a hand that had already turned into a chicken-like claw, desperately grasping at the void, like a drowning person trying to catch a life-saving straw.
However.
No one responded to her.
In just a few breaths, she became like a piece of rotten meat thrown into a meat grinder, being shredded and reorganized bit by bit, then transforming into some indescribable, eerie existence.
"Immeasurable... Celestial Worthy."
Just as White Rose's last shred of consciousness was about to dissipate, an old Taoist chant suddenly rang out.
Ripples appeared in the void as Taoist Tianji appeared nearby, leading a team of messengers dressed in black.
Seeing White Rose's wretched appearance, Taoist Tianji's hand trembled slightly.
He subconsciously tightened his grip on the peach wood sword in his hand, wanting to step in to save her.
After all, she was an S-rank Captain, a top-tier combatant the Yanlong Empire had cultivated for many years.
But when he looked at Lin Chuan's massive Buddha body, which was eerie, evil, and radiated a dark divinity... he hesitated.
"Elder! Please, do something!"
"That's Captain White! Even if she did something wrong, her crime doesn't deserve death!"
"We can't just stand by and watch one of our own be tortured like this!"
Behind him, several members of the delegation couldn't help but shout loudly, their eyes full of anxiety and anger.
They couldn't understand why this highly respected member of the Seven Pillars would choose to stand idly by.
"Shut up!"
Taoist Tianji whipped his head around, a daunting light bursting from his cloudy old eyes.
"Do you want the entire Yanlong Empire to be buried with her?!"
"Look at what those are!"
He pointed at the two terrifying existences in the sky that radiated an aura capable of destroying heaven and earth, his voice low and raspy.
"Those are... two SS-Rank Taboos."
"If we intervene... there is only the path of death!"
The delegation members were immediately silenced by this shout, terrified and not daring to say another word.
Taoist Tianji took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the pity in his heart, turned around, and bowed deeply to Lin Chuan.
"True Buddha of the Land of Rebirth on the Other Shore..."
"This humble Taoist, Tianji, represents the Yanlong Empire in offering our apologies to you."
"White Rose's actions were her own; they in no way represent the intent of my Yanlong Empire."
"The Chief Executive has already ordered her stripped of all duties and labeled a traitor; she is at the True Buddha's disposal!"
Hearing this, Lin Chuan ignored Taoist Tianji.
His attention remained firmly locked onto the Jingguan Joyful Venerable Incarnation opposite him.
To him, a clown like White Rose wasn't worth his distraction.
He could crush her at his leisure.
The real threat was this existence before him from the 'Domain of Extinction' in the Chaos Void Realm!
"Hee hee..."
Sensing Lin Chuan's gaze, the Bodhisattva statue in mid-air suddenly let out a series of hair-raising, eerie laughs.
"How... boring."
"Kindred spirit, since you don't like these insects either..."
"Why don't we... join forces?"
Its voice was twisted and sharp, carrying a bewitching magic that rang directly in Lin Chuan's mind.
"Wipe out all these hypocritical insects..."
"Deliver this so-called Yanlong Empire..."
"Half for you... half for me..."
"How about it? Giggle giggle..."
Hearing these words.
Taoist Tianji's face instantly turned pale.
If these two high-stage SS-rank terrifying existences truly joined forces... even the Yanlong Empire would find it hard to withstand!!
Everyone's heart jumped into their throats as they stared fixedly at Lin Chuan, waiting for the answer that would decide their fate.
However.
Lin Chuan's response to the Joyful Bodhisattva Statue consisted of only two words.
"Noisy."
As soon as the Rule Buddhist Sound fell, Lin Chuan directly activated his own Taboo Rules!
Various evil rule powers converged and spread... dyeing the sky for ten thousand miles in an ultimate black.
"amitabha buddha!!"
"Suppress!"
With a thought from Lin Chuan, the black Mountain-Moving Strongman roared forth again, carrying terrifying rule power as it smashed violently toward the thousand-meter-tall Bodhisattva statue.
"Foolish!!"
The Jingguan Joyful Venerable Incarnation let out an angry shriek.
It hadn't expected Lin Chuan to be so unappreciative.
In the next moment, its Bodhisattva Projection medium began to undergo a terrifying transformation!!
Countless human faces on its body opened their mouths simultaneously, spewing out vast clouds of Rule Poison Mist, attempting to corrode Lin Chuan's evil buddha golden body.
Lin Chuan activated his rules, condensing a Buddha Kingdom in the Palm; his five fingers were like mountains as they slammed shut.
Poof!
A dull thud sounded.
The giant Bodhisattva statue... was directly seized by him!!
Immediately after, the Bodhisattva statue cracked, turning into countless rule fragments that were forcibly devoured by Lin Chuan!
[Devoured SS-Rank Seventh-Tier Rule Incarnation!]
[Obtained taboo value reduction: 2000 points!]
[Ego Godhead integrity increased to... 1%!]
[Rule Ability upgraded!]
["Weakening" Authority effect increased to... 7%!]
As he devoured the Bodhisattva statue fragments, information prompts appeared on the panel deep in Lin Chuan's consciousness.
"Time to continue the upgrade and evolution!"
After obtaining the 2000-point taboo value reduction, Lin Chuan did not hesitate.
He directly consumed all 2000 points of the newly acquired taboo value reduction.
In an instant, a new prompt popped up on the panel:
[Deducted 2000 points of taboo value reduction!]
[Upgrade complete!]
[Current Master's Terror Level: SS-Rank Seventh-Tier!]
[Distance to next stage: SS-Rank Eighth-Tier, requires consumption of 3000 taboo value points!]
Upon reaching SS-Rank Seventh-Tier, Lin Chuan felt as if his every thought could make this space-time tremble.
Below, Taoist Tianji and the many members of the Yanlong Empire delegation all felt the transformation in Lin Chuan.
They didn't dare look up, didn't dare speak, and even their breathing became cautious, for fear of disturbing Lin Chuan.
