45: Chapter 45 A Corner of the Chaotic Void Realm, Suppressing the Forbidden
Its six secondary heads writhed, eyes opening and closing, flashing with a heart-shaking eerie light, carrying a scrutiny and judgment from a higher dimension.
Chaos, madness, inversion... countless negative emotions spread along its gaze, forming rules that blanketed the Coughing Ghoul.
They even followed the rule connection, attempting to erode Lin Chuan's main body!
"This is..."
Lin Chuan was slightly startled.
He could feel that this rule was incredibly terrifying, containing a sliver of ancient, profound, and non-defiable... divinity!
Sizzle, sizzle... As the medium, the Coughing Ghoul began to emit bursts of black smoke, and strange snake Scales appeared on its face.
Its body trembled violently, as if it could be assimilated by that massive rule-will at any moment, becoming a part of that [Black Snake Taboo].
Rumble!!
The void became increasingly shattered.
At this moment, behind the massive phantom of the Black Snake Taboo, a door leading to an unknown world seemed to open.
A corner of a pitch-black space, filled with Chaos and deathly stillness, slowly descended into reality.
That was from the Chaos Void Realm—the [Black Domain]!
At the same time.
On the two faceless main heads of the Black Snake Taboo, the originally hazy and blurred facial skin began to twist and rotate.
Finally.
They turned into two eerie patterns resembling galactic vortices or some kind of ancient passage.
The patterns rotated slowly, emitting a terrifying gravitational pull capable of devouring the Soul.
Even a single glance would make one feel an instinctive despair and shudder.
That was the rule power of the s-rank ninth-tier taboo erupting!
Even though what descended here was merely an s-rank second order taboo projection, that taboo rule was still terrifying!
"Great Black Snake Sovereign..."
The Black Serpent Emissary, who had been kneeling on the ground, suddenly stood up.
With a morbid fanaticism and piety on his face, he raised his hands high and prostrated himself before the terrifying projection.
"Praise your glory! Praise your descent!!"
"Let all the filth in this world turn to ashes under your gaze!!"
Following his shout.
Within the entire Base City, the over five million civilians who were still piously reciting Lin Chuan's honorific title suddenly felt an inexplicable palpitation.
They looked up in horror at the terrifying snake shadow in the sky that looked like the end of the world, their bodies shaking uncontrollably.
It was an unspeakable suppression coming from the level of life itself.
This feeling was like an ant facing a Dragon, like dust facing a tsunami, like a mayfly seeing the vast blue sky!!
Crack! Crack!!
In the sky.
The black buddha face that had covered the sky and emitted endless majesty actually began to show cracks.
Like a shattered mirror, it could disintegrate at any moment.
And the huge buddha hand slowly pressing down also began to rapidly dissolve and dissipate under the rule erosion of the [Black Snake Taboo].
"Cough, cough..."
The Coughing Ghoul shook violently, coughing constantly; its body became more and more stooped and thin... it had clearly reached the brink of falling into a dormant state of death.
The Fallen Heaven Resentful Spirit nearby was also unable to resist the rule influence of the [Black Snake Taboo].
The bone wings behind her became tattered, and the blood-clothes on her body were corroded with countless holes... Buzz!!!
At this moment, within the vortex patterns on the two main heads of the Black Snake Taboo, two huge, vertical pupils suddenly emerged.
The pupils were incredibly deep, as if containing a collapsing Universe.
Immediately after.
A burst of inexplicable, indescribable ancient whispers began to echo between heaven and earth.
The sound did not belong to any known language.
It was like a chant, yet also like a curse.
Like the crying of a baby, yet also like the sigh of an old man.
Every syllable uttered was accompanied by the distortion and reorganization of the rules of heaven and earth.
Wisdom and folly.
Order and Chaos.
Creation and destruction.
Countless contradictory yet unified concepts intertwined, collided, and surged within that voice!
That was the mantra of the taboo! An oracle belonging to the unspeakable!
Under the impact of this voice, the world seemed about to welcome its silence.
Inside the Rebirth Temple, Lin Chuan calmly watched everything through the 'coughing ghoul clone'.
The black vortex behind him began to spin frantically, devouring all surrounding light.
The next moment, with a thought, Lin Chuan activated the [Teleportation] rule!
In an instant, his figure vanished from the main hall of the Rebirth Temple... appearing above the [Black Snake Society] Base City.
Just as that massive buddha face was about to completely shatter.
Rumble!!!
A roar even more terrifying and shocking than before suddenly exploded.
The void shattered like a mirror.
A massive figure, thousands of feet tall, pitch-black and surrounded by endless chaotic runes, condensed from the void!
Time and space seemed to ripple.
Amidst distortion and Chaos, an evil buddha golden body emerged!
The Evil Buddha's face was blurred, sitting cross-legged on a white bone Lotus Pedestal constructed from rules... With Lin Chuan's arrival.
The world suddenly fell silent!
Then, a rolling sea of blood hung upside down from the firmament.
Countless chaotic buddha lights poured down like waterfalls, providing Universal Illumination of Buddhas Light to all directions, enveloping the entire city.
"Hiss!!"
Feeling the rule aura emitted by Lin Chuan, the Eight-Headed Black Snake projection paused abruptly, its tongue flickering.
Its eight heads turned simultaneously, locking onto Lin Chuan from across the distance, layers of fierce light flowing from its eyes!
One Buddha statue and one snake shadow confronted each other in the void.
Terrifying taboo rules collided, constantly triggering visible spatial ripples.
The entire [Black Snake Society] Base City teetered under the pressure of these two forces.
"Humble reptile..."
"Shall be... erased!!"
The Black Snake Taboo projection emitted intermittent, obscure whispers.
The voice was cold and indifferent, permeated with a supreme contempt and killing intent.
Being a taboo himself, Lin Chuan understood its whispers.
"Jie jie jie..."
"Seeing my true body, yet uttering such arrogant words."
"My Buddha is merciful and willing to forgive your sins and guide you to transcendence!!"
Lin Chuan responded with a distorted, evil Buddhist voice!
At the same time, Lin Chuan decisively activated his own rule... [Life-Reaping Sanskrit Sound]!
The grand Buddhist Chant vibrated, louder and more distorted and eerie than before... every syllable transformed into tangible black rule chains, shooting toward the Black Snake Taboo projection from all sides.
Simultaneously.
Lin Chuan also activated [Universal Illumination of Buddhas Light], and the black light wheel behind him spun violently.
Beams of dark red chaotic light, like a mountain flood erupting, swept through heaven and earth.
As the two taboo rules fell, before the [Black Snake Taboo] could react, Lin Chuan also activated [Buddha Kingdom in the Palm] and [Mountain-Moving Strongman]... while also fully deploying both layers of his own 'Taboo Domain'!
In an instant, the buddha hand condensed, black light howled, and Buddhist Chants continued... even more, a black giant clad in heavy armor charged out from behind Lin Chuan, swinging a massive fist capable of shattering mountains to smash one of the heads of the [Black Snake Taboo] projection.
The opponent was, after all, a projection of an s-rank ninth-tier taboo, and the medium for this taboo projection was the S-Rank First Order 'Black Serpent Emissary'!
If he didn't use his full strength, Lin Chuan feared something unexpected might happen.
Suppressing and devouring the opponent quickly... and then raising his own Terror Level was the most reliable course of action.
As for the [Black Snake Taboo]'s true body? It couldn't come to this world for the time being anyway... by the time its true body descended, Lin Chuan might have already evolved to the same S-Rank Ninth Tier, or even SS-Rank!!
While Lin Chuan was activating his Rule Abilities, at his side.
A blood-red figure also emerged.
It was Lin Chuan's personal guard kin... the [Weeping Blood Rakshasa]!
A blood-colored Scale appeared behind him, madness and distortion flashing in his four eyes.
"Scale... Judgment!!"
"Forbidden Blood... Devour!!"
"Foul Blood... Curse!!"
A piercing sound came from his throat as three major taboo rules erupted and spread simultaneously.
Blood-red chains wrapped around the Black Snake's body like poisonous snakes.
Although the Rule Abilities he controlled were not as numerous as Lin Chuan's, he himself was an s-rank second order taboo, possessing the ability to threaten the [Black Snake Taboo] projection!
