179: Chapter 179: The Laying Out of the Net, Falling into the Third Layer of the Nightmare World
At the same time.
Yanlong Empire.
Qingzhou, Kunlun Ruins.
Above the hazy sky.
A colossal, dilapidated ancient scroll, stained with mottled black blood, reappeared.
This eerie scroll, once temporarily suppressed by the 'Xingtian Taboo', descended once more, bringing with it a calamity more terrifying than before!
Crack... crack...
Ear-piercing cracking sounds vibrated in the Void Realm.
When the scroll fully unfurled, horrifying black cracks appeared on its yellowed surface.
It was as if a twisted force was tearing the scroll apart!
And in the center of the scroll.
The three-headed, six-armed figure became increasingly clear, increasingly real.
Every inch of its rotten skin exuded suffocating malice.
What was most scalp-numbing was...
The ancient long arrow, which had been firmly embedded in its chest and suppressing its terrifying power level, had vanished!
Without the suppression of that arrow, its Rule Power was surging at an insane speed.
Rip!
A chilling sound of tearing fabric suddenly rang out.
A section of the scroll's surface suddenly bulged.
Immediately after... a thick arm covered in sharp bone spurs forcefully pierced through the scroll's restraint!
The boundary between reality and illusion seemed to be completely shattered.
Not only that.
To the left and right of the three-headed, six-armed figure, two other terrifying figures also completely erupted.
On the left side of the scroll.
The skeletal figure of a man, thin as a dried bamboo pole, twisted frantically.
Thick black blood seeped from his hollow eyes.
His shriveled hands clutched the edge of the scroll, and half of his body had already reached out from the illusion.
On the right side of the scroll.
The mountain-sized monster with a highly decomposed pig's head let out a silent roar.
It brandished the rusty giant rake in its hand, frantically smashing the scroll space.
Each chop caused the barrier of the real world to crack inch by inch.
Thick black blood dripped from the rake, corroding deep, bottomless pits in the ground.
A certain Seal seemed to be collapsing.
The three ancient taboos were also about to completely break free from their restraints...
In an instant, the sky over the entire Dongsheng Continent seemed to be covered by a thick, bloody haze.
On the other side.
Land of Rebirth on the Other Shore, core hinterland.
Inside the Rebirth Temple, it was cold and dim, exuding an inhuman chill.
On the Lotus Pedestal in the center of the main hall.
Lin Chuan's evil buddha golden body sat quietly.
The Buddha statue's eyes were lowered, its face indistinct.
Layers of Chaos black light slowly flowed from the surface of the Buddha statue.
That light seemed to devour all colors in the world, transforming into extreme evil and distortion.
Sacredness and evil perfectly intertwined in this black light, exuding a Soul-shaking oppressive feeling.
Below the Buddha statue.
Zhao Linfeng knelt on both knees, his forehead pressed firmly against the cold floor tiles.
“My Buddha...”
“The dead city on the border is out of control and expanding wildly.”
“Zhou Kai, Xiao Hong, Bai Ling... all of them have been drawn in.”
Zhao Linfeng's voice was hurried, with a hint of panic.
“Not only that.”
“The Kunlun Ruins in the Yanlong Empire have undergone another drastic change!”
“And things haven't been peaceful in the Shaven Empire recently either...”
On the Lotus Pedestal.
Lin Chuan's mind sank slightly upon hearing the report.
The process of Terror Resurgence was clearly accelerating!
In at most half a year... an SSS-rank eighth-tier, or even an SSS-rank ninth-tier taboo, would likely descend upon this world!
And judging by the current situation, the Dongsheng Continent, Southern Continent, and Red Continent... would inevitably be the most dangerous areas in the future!
These three continents might even become battlegrounds where taboos contend, or even where gods clash!
Fortunately, Lin Chuan already had a plan in mind.
The West Continent, the land that was first engulfed by the Terror Resurgence, was, in contrast to the present... actually safer and more conducive to the development of the Land of Rebirth on the Other Shore!
He had already planned to establish a “Buddha Domain” there.
But before that, his game on the Dongsheng Continent was far from over.
If he planned properly, those ancient taboos about to revive, those Dominators hidden in the shadows, and even the demigods... all could become his nourishment!
Buzz!!!
As Lin Chuan willed it.
The once dead silent air in the main hall suddenly emitted a low hum.
A ripple of Rule Power, visible to the naked eye, spread out from him.
The next moment.
A grand, cold Rule sound, imbued with endless evil and majesty, exploded directly in Zhao Linfeng's mind.
“You may withdraw.”
Just four words, yet they seemed to contain an irresistible heavenly might.
Zhao Linfeng felt his brain rumble.
All his panic and unease were forcibly suppressed by this Rule sound.
He dared not disobey in the slightest, his body trembling as he respectfully kowtowed.
“As you command... My Buddha.”
Immediately after, Zhao Linfeng slowly exited the main hall.
The dark main hall once again returned to a deathly silence.
Lin Chuan's Buddha body sat upright, just as he was about to continue deducing the situation on the Dongsheng Continent.
Suddenly, an extremely faint, intermittent prayer, transcending endless space and dimensional barriers, reached the depths of his consciousness.
The voice was filled with an unresolvable despair and madness.
“My Buddha...”
“Save... save me...”
“We... fell down...”
Lin Chuan's consciousness paused slightly.
This was Northern Evil's voice!
But at this moment, Northern Evil's voice was not only extremely faint, but every syllable he uttered was also mixed with a certain extremely uncomfortable Rule interference.
That was a terrifying aura, a million times more twisted than the real world!
Lin Chuan immediately activated his Rule, attempting to see Northern Evil's predicament through his eyes.
However, with just one glance, he witnessed an incredibly shocking scene...
In the Southern Continent, the Base City area established by Northern Evil, an enormous Void Realm hole had appeared!
Within the Base City, millions of humans and Ghost Controllers.
Were being forcibly peeled away from the real world, bit by bit, by an irresistible, grand Rule Power!
The surrounding scenery of the Base City was twisting, space was inverting.
The surrounding scenery was twisting, space was inverting.
Gradually, through Northern Evil's perspective, Lin Chuan saw a bizarre world, filled with grotesque sights, endless madness, and distortion.
Lin Chuan instantly sensed that that world... was precisely the Chaos Void Realm! And also the third dimensional layer of the Nightmare World!
That place no longer belonged to reality.
Lin Chuan's consciousness rapidly flowed.
This was also the first time he had seen the true third layer of the Nightmare World so clearly.
According to the information provided by the panel, the third layer of the Nightmare World was countless times more vast than the “Real Universe”.
Countless S-rank and SS-Rank Taboos that could destroy heaven and earth in reality were only considered lower to middle-tier existences here!
And now.
A human city, brimming with vibrant life, had thus abruptly plunged into this chaotic and twisted Nightmare Land!
This was like throwing a piece of bloody fresh meat into a pack of starving wolves.
It was imaginable... that unimaginable terror awaited Northern Evil and the others!
But for Lin Chuan, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Because Northern Evil and the others falling into the third layer of the Nightmare World, instead opened a brand new door for him.
He had always been searching for a way to enter the depths of the Nightmare, troubled by not being able to find the coordinates to enter the Chaos Void Realm.
Now, Northern Evil and that Base City were like torches lit in a dark forest.
Marking an incredibly clear anchor point for him in that unknown high-dimensional realm!
