139: Chapter 139 Faith Shaken, Lin Chuan's Power
"Damn it! Damn it!!!"
Petrovsky's eyes were wide with fury.
He watched helplessly as his subordinates, one by one, writhed in agony under the erosion of the rules, their bodies twisting into various indescribable monstrosities.
This scene was even more suffocating than death itself.
Thinking of this, he abruptly grabbed the communicator and contacted Zhao Linfeng again.
"Mr. Zhao, what does the true buddha of rebirth say?!"
"Is that one... willing to intervene?!"
As soon as Petrovsky finished speaking, Zhao Linfeng immediately replied:
"My Buddha is merciful and wishes to ferry all beings."
"But the condition is..."
Zhao Linfeng relayed all of Lin Chuan's demands to Petrovsky.
"What?!"
Upon learning these harsh conditions, Petrovsky couldn't help but roar, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.
"Half the population... He's trying to cut off the very roots of our Shaven Empire!"
"We worship the taboo of sin..."
However, just as he was roaring in anger.
The shadowy Projection of the Black Church behind him suddenly began to tremble violently.
Crack! Crack!
Countless fissures spread across the church's walls, as if it would completely collapse the next second.
At the same time.
A thought directly echoed in Petrovsky's mind.
"Agree to him..."
That was... the voice of the [taboo of sin]!
"My Lord?!"
Petrovsky shuddered all over, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Why? You..."
"My medium Projection... can barely hold on."
The voice was full of helplessness.
"This Projection has reached its limit... If I force it to persist, all my anchors in the mortal world will snap."
"At that time... not only will all the believers on this land be utterly annihilated..."
"Even my true form... will suffer backlash and fall into a brief slumber."
Hearing these words, Petrovsky's heart sank to the abyss.
Even the Lord was compromising?
He looked at the people around him who were still struggling to hold on, finally sighed, and nodded:
"Lord... I understand."
Suppressing his emotions, he spoke into the communicator again.
"Tell that one..."
"We... agree."
As he uttered these words, Petrovsky closed his eyes, his face etched with deep bitterness.
The moment Petrovsky made this difficult decision.
Boom!!!
The wind and snow in the distance suddenly exploded.
Three terrifyingly extreme Rule auras, like demons crawling from the depths of Hell, suddenly revealed their true forms!
The first thing that came into view.
Was a towering giant tree!
It stood a thousand zhang tall, its entire body pitch-black, every branch resembling twisted human bones, hung with countless withered corpses.
Those corpses swayed in the cold wind, emitting waves of spine-chilling, eerie laughter.
Immediately after.
Was a gigantic, ragged beggar exuding a foul stench.
It held a broken bowl in its hand, filled with still-beating hearts and eyeballs.
With every step it took, the earth beneath it rotted away, all vitality instantly sucked dry.
And the last one.
Was a... seven-story Bone Pagoda floating in mid-air!
The pagoda's body was entirely constructed from the skulls of various creatures, each layer emitting a different colored eerie light, as if suppressing some indescribable horror.
The true forms of three ss-grade first tier taboos had appeared simultaneously!
They radiated chaotic rules that could crush the heavens and distort the Void Realm.
And with their appearance, the very air of the entire Arctic ice field seemed to solidify in an instant.
The real world inverted and became chaotic under their feet.
The ice field turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, the sky turned into a gray curtain.
Despair and fear spread boundlessly.
"Giggle!!!"
The corpses hanging from the giant tree kept cackling.
Then, countless roots, like black pythons, instantly pierced through thousands of the Shaven Empire's Ghost Controllers, directly sucking them into mummies.
The beggar raised its broken bowl and pressed it forcefully forward.
Splash!!
Several S-rank Taboo Masters didn't even have time to scream before their hearts directly exploded out of their bodies and flew into that broken bowl.
The Bone Pagoda was even more terrifying.
It trembled slightly, and a gray ripple spread out.
Wherever it passed, whether tanks or armored vehicles, everything instantly weathered into powder that filled the sky.
"It's over... completely over!"
Some of the Shaven Empire's Ghost Controllers, seeing this, turned deathly pale, their voices trembling!
Even in Petrovsky's heart, a trace of despair couldn't help but surge.
But at this moment.
Dang!!!
A long, drawn-out Temple bell suddenly rang out between heaven and earth.
As the mighty bell toll faded, a jet-black yet sacred and solemn Buddhist light suddenly tore through the gloomy sky, pouring down in torrents from the Nine Heavens above.
"na mo... A Mi... Tuo Fo."
Immediately after, a low, grand, evil, sinister, seemingly order-and-Chaos-containing Buddhist chant echoed through the wind and snow!
In an instant, the Void Realm exploded.
An enormous, indescribably large black evil buddha golden body slowly extended its head from the rift.
It lowered its brows and eyes, its expression indifferent.
Its half-open, half-closed, abyss-deep Buddha eyes were firmly locked onto the three ss-grade first tier taboos.
"The common people suffer. Have faith in me, and you shall attain liberation."
The Buddha's voice was like thunder, shaking the Nine Heavens.
A sky-obscuring Rule Buddha Palm, carrying the Rule fluctuations of ss-class seventh tier, materialized with a roar!
The three taboos below seemed to sense the threat and simultaneously halted their actions.
Then... as if they had agreed upon it, they all attacked Lin Chuan in unison.
The Ghost Tree swung its branches, the beggar raised its broken bowl, the Bone Pagoda radiated light.
"An ant trying to shake a tree."
Lin Chuan's Buddha voice was as cold as ice, like an ancient evil deity murmuring lowly, every syllable carrying an imposing, grand momentum that brooked no violation from any taboo.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Without any suspense.
Under that Buddha Palm containing countless rules, the three newly awakened ss-grade first tier taboos were like fragile toys, instantly smashed into pieces of Puzzle Pieces!
Before Lin Chuan, they didn't even have room to resist.
After suppressing the three SS-grade taboos, Lin Chuan's Rule Buddha Hand continued to close.
The rules in its palm continued to flow, transforming into a black vortex, beginning to devour the three SS-grade taboos... [Devouring ss-grade first tier taboo X3!]
[Obtained taboo value Reduction: 2500 points!]
As the panel displayed a series of prompts, Lin Chuan didn't hesitate, directly consuming 3000 points of taboo value Reduction to instantly elevate his Terror Level to SS-grade Eighth Tier!!
After finishing everything, Lin Chuan didn't linger, slowly disappearing into the Void Realm rift.
Taking over half the population of the Shaven Empire and converting their faith to the "Rebirth Cult" were tasks Lin Chuan no longer needed to handle personally.
Everything would be arranged by Zhao Linfeng.
On the ice field, the people of the Shaven Empire all stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded, watching the enormous Buddha shadow gradually dissipate in the sky.
Everyone's feelings were complex.
The Rule Power Lin Chuan had just displayed had already caused these believers of the [taboo of sin] to feel a slight wavering in their original faith...
