195: Chapter 195 A Burial City Suspected to Be Inhabited by Gods! An Old Tomb in Kunlun Ruins

At this moment, on his face covered in blood and mud, he pulled a wretched smile that looked worse than crying.

What kind of hope was this?

Putting aside whether Li Shanyuan, an amateur taboo of the SS-Rank First Order, had the ability to completely Control this ancient city.

What was even more deadly was...

Zhou Kai felt his shriveled backpack.

He was a living person!

After a series of desperate escapes, the dry rations and water he had brought in were already at the bottom.

Even if Li Shanyuan could rely on his rule authority to protect him from being torn to shreds by those terrifying existences.

But in ten days at most... he would also die of thirst or hunger in this deathly silence and darkness!

"There's no way back..."

Zhou Kai closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the nauseatingly foul air in the room.

When he opened his eyes again.

The last trace of struggle belonging to the human survival instinct in the depths of his eyes had completely disappeared.

Replacing it was a touch of extreme madness and decisiveness!

"Since it's death either way..."

"Then I'll use this life to make one last gamble!"

Zhou Kai suddenly pulled out a dagger with a chipped blade.

He turned his head and stared fixedly at the half-human, half-ghost Li Shanyuan.

"Chief Li, you said just now that when you were on the verge of death, your will underwent Fusion with the taboo inside you, and then with the ancient city?"

Li Shanyuan's grayish-white face was slightly taken aback, as if he realized what Zhou Kai wanted to do.

"Zhou Kai, don't."

"The danger in this is a certain death with no chance of survival."

"I succeeded by luck, and more because of the special nature of the 'Mind Taboo'."

"If you follow my lead... you will most likely die completely!"

Li Shanyuan took a step forward, wanting to stop Zhou Kai's crazy idea.

"Luck? Certain death?"

Zhou Kai grinned, revealing teeth stained red with blood, laughing wildly and frantically.

"My current situation is already certain death!"

"Rather than starving to death in despair at the end, I'd rather die by my own hands! To fight for that slim chance of survival!"

Zhou Kai suddenly took a step back and pressed the dagger firmly against his heart.

"Furthermore..."

In Zhou Kai's eyes, an unprecedented light of fanatical faith erupted.

"You have the Mind Taboo in your body, and the taboo I drive... may not be impossible either!"

The moment the words fell.

Zhou Kai didn't give Li Shanyuan another chance to dissuade him.

"Puchi!"

He gripped the handle of the dagger with both hands and stabbed it into his own heart without any hesitation!

Crimson blood instantly dyed his chest like a fountain.

"Ah..."

The immense pain caused Zhou Kai's features to twist instantly, and his tall body collapsed on the ground like mud.

His consciousness began to rapidly blur and dissipate.

Darkness.

Coldness.

The abyss of death was opening its mouth to him.

Just at the moment when Zhou Kai's Soul was about to leave his body and be forcibly swallowed by the ubiquitous Assimilation Rule of the ancient city!

"Rise!!!"

Relying on his last trace of tenacious will, Zhou Kai let out a world-shaking roar in the depths of his Soul.

The stone tablet phantom behind him, which had been silent, also erupted with an extremely weak green light once again!

This green light protected Zhou Kai's will.

But it wasn't enough!

To maintain oneself under the Assimilation Rule of the ancient city and forcibly undergo Fusion with it, relying solely on the Rule Power of the stone tablet phantom was no different from a fool's dream!

"na mo... Supreme Buddha of Rebirth..."

Zhou Kai's Soul struggled in the abyss, letting out the most devout chant.

Far away in the West Continent, inside the Rebirth Temple.

Lin Chuan, who had been watching coldly from the side, finally moved.

"He does have courage."

In his heart, Lin Chuan couldn't help but admire Zhou Kai's actions.

"Since you have the guts to gamble, I will grant you a stroke of fortune."

Buzz!!!

A burst of chaotic black light with extreme evil and holiness.

Using Zhou Kai's body as a medium, it directly crossed endless space and suddenly descended!

In an instant, Zhou Kai's will began to condense.

Not only that.

That overbearing Buddha light even wrapped around Zhou Kai's will.

Following the ley lines of this dilapidated wooden house, it frantically seeped into the deepest part of the ancient city's rules!

In an instant, Zhou Kai felt intense pain!

It was a feeling of Soul tearing that was difficult to describe in words!

Zhou Kai felt as if he had been stuffed into a giant meat grinder, every inch of his Soul being crushed and reorganized.

But he held on firmly, relying on his unwilling obsession, always maintaining a clear will.

No one knew how much time had passed.

In this silent wooden house.

Zhou Kai's corpse, with a dagger stuck in its chest and no longer breathing.

Suddenly opened its eyes!

In those eyes, there were no longer the whites and pupils of a living person.

Instead, they became two clumps of slowly burning blue-black flames!

An extremely heavy, ancient rule fluctuation mixed with thick Death Qi.

Erupted from this "corpse"!

That was Rule Power belonging to the ss-rank third tier!!

Zhou Kai succeeded!

He successfully embedded his will into the rule system of the ancient city!

Furthermore, he had become a special taboo of the ss-rank third tier!

He clearly felt that he, this wooden house, and the bluestone street outside... had developed an extremely eerie sense of connection.

He had become a part of this ancient city!

Inside the Rebirth Temple, on Lin Chuan's consciousness panel, several crimson prompts popped up one after another at this moment!

[Detected an extremely special Dimensional Distortion from a Believer!]

[Believer profile updated!]

[Believer: Burial City Resident · Zhou Kai!]

[Status: Half-Step Eerie / Burial City Rule Fragment Fuser!]

[Believer: Burial City Resident · Li Shanyuan!]

[Status: taboo / Burial City Rule Fragment Fuser!]

Looking at the prompts on the panel, Lin Chuan's deep Buddha Eyes flickered slightly.

Burial City!

This was the true name of this mysterious ancient city!

And.

What made Lin Chuan even more alarmed was.

Even though he had now been promoted to SSS-Rank Sixth Order (High-Ranked Dominator).

Under the panel's detection, the horror level of this [Burial City]...

Was still a long string of question marks (???) representing the inability to analyze!

"A desperate land hiding a Fallen God... Burial City..."

Lin Chuan's thoughts flowed, and his evil buddha golden body surged with terrifyingly eerie Buddha light.

"At all costs."

Lin Chuan's grand Buddha voice exploded in the minds of Zhou Kai and Li Shanyuan at the same time.

"Lurk in this city and eat away at its rules."

"Give me... complete Control over this Burial City!"

Hearing Lin Chuan's decree.

Inside the wooden house, Zhou Kai and Li Shanyuan both knelt on their knees, accepting the order with fanatical expressions.

"We obey My Buddha's decree!"

To increase the success rate of Zhou Kai and Li Shanyuan.

Lin Chuan was not stingy.

He directly called up the panel, looked at the remaining few hundred points of taboo on it, and without any hesitation, made a move with a single thought!

"Consume two hundred taboo value, Blessing!"

Swish!!!

Two golden lights ignored the rule blockade of the Burial City and directly entered the bodies of Zhou Kai and Li Shanyuan.

[Blessing successful!]

[Believers Zhou Kai and Li Shanyuan have obtained an Exclusive Affix: Resilient Will!]

[Resilient Will (Passive): Greatly resists mental pollution and will erasure from high-level rules!]

With this affix.

Even if they encountered that Cheongsam Woman who was suspected to be a Fallen God head-on again, they would be able to deal with it a little!!

After doing all this.

Lin Chuan withdrew his will that had stayed on Zhou Kai and Li Shanyuan.

...

Meanwhile.

The scene shifted.

Qingzhou, deep within the Kunlun Ruins Forbidden Ground.

Above the firmament, in the tattered scroll that covered the sky.

Those three terrifying ancient taboos seemed to have felt the Dragon's roar from across time and space earlier.

They twisted their bodies uneasily in the sky, letting out low growls...

And not far from that rust-stained Bronze Palace in the deepest part of the Kunlun Ruins.

Six huge, twisted, terrifying dark shadows emitting an extremely malicious aura.

Were standing quietly in front of an inconspicuous, low, old grave.

These six figures were the six taboos of meishan who had followed Lin Chuan's decree to go deep into the Kunlun Ruins to scout the way!
