87: Chapter 87 The Stone Tablet, Zhou Kai's Fortune
An ancient, desolate Rule Power containing chaotic and disordered Chaos was spreading like a tide, seemingly about to overturn the entire world.
And the source that triggered all this was exactly that broken stone tablet in front of Zhou Kai!
...Inside the Rebirth Temple.
Through the medium of "Zhou Kai", Lin Chuan clearly sensed that Zhou Kai's will was being forcibly swallowed and fused by that stone tablet.
Furthermore, that eerie, ancient power, which even carried a hint of something transcending Taboo Rules, actually followed the medium of "Zhou Kai" and directly eroded its way back to Lin Chuan!
Boom!!!
Lin Chuan's evil buddha golden body shook violently.
The chaotic black light that was originally flowing calmly on the Buddha's body was now churning violently like boiling water.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Lin Chuan held nothing back and immediately activated the second-layer Taboo Domain!!
At the same time, the various Rule Powers he mastered were also released without reservation.
Buzz—!!!
Centered on the entire Qinglong Prefecture, the sky for thousands of miles around was instantly dyed pitch black.
Countless eerie runes flickered in the Void Realm, weaving into a giant web of rules.
"This... what's happening?"
"Has the Lord Buddha become angry?"
Zhao Linfeng and the others, who were patrolling inside Rebirth City, looked up at the apocalyptic scene in the sky, their hearts filled with fear and unease.
They didn't know what had happened.
They could only see, within that endless darkness, a colossal buddhas shadow that reached the heavens appearing indistinctly.
It sat cross-legged in the Void Realm, with a towering sea of blood behind it and piles of white bones beneath its feet.
And opposite it.
There seemed to be a blurry, faintly glowing phantom of a stone tablet, standing its ground against it!
"That kind of Aura..."
Lin Chuan stared fixedly at the phantom of the stone tablet.
He was all too familiar with this feeling.
That mysterious old man... that old woman The Gatekeeper of the Neon Country... this stone tablet clearly belonged to the same level as them!
That was an existence that surpassed SSS-Rank and touched upon the suspected "God" Domain!
"Just a broken stone tablet has such power..."
Lin Chuan was shocked, but he did not back down.
Because he could feel that although that rule's status was extremely high, it was exceptionally weak, one could even say incomplete.
"If it's only like this..."
"Then This Seat... might not be unable to resist!"
"Life-Reaping Sanskrit Sound!"
"Blood-Tear Illusionary Realm!"
"Buddha Kingdom in the Palm!"
With a thought, Lin Chuan pushed his own rules to the limit.
Grand Buddhist Chants echoed between heaven and earth, carrying a magic that distorted the mind.
Blood-colored tears fell from the sky, as if to drag the entire world into a terrifying illusionary realm.
Even more, a giant black Buddha Hand reached out from the Void Realm, attempting to crush the phantom of the stone tablet.
Rumble!!!
The collision of rule against rule triggered an unimaginable disaster.
The entire Yanmang Province was trembling.
Within the Great Xin Dynasty, countless Ghost Controllers, taboos, and weirdness... were all startled awake by this commotion.
"That direction... is it Qinglong Prefecture?"
"What exactly happened?"
Countless voices of doubt and alarm rang out... Great Xin Dynasty.
Ghost Suppression Department Headquarters.
Mr. K looked at the data on the screen that was almost off the charts, his expression unprecedentedly grave.
His hand holding the teacup was slightly trembling.
But soon, Mr. K regained his composure.
"Interesting, truly interesting..."
After putting down the teacup, Mr. K muttered to himself in a meaningful whisper.
And at this moment, the confrontation between Lin Chuan and the stone tablet's rules had also reached a fever pitch!
"Pure Land of the Buddha Kingdom, nothing is taboo!!"
As the vast Buddhist Chant swept in all directions,
Lin Chuan converged all his rules into a single point, turning them into a brilliantly radiant chaotic Buddha light, and slammed it fiercely into the phantom of the stone tablet.
Crack!
A crisp sound of shattering rang out.
That phantom of the stone tablet, after all, failed to withstand the full assault of Lin Chuan's rules!
It was, after all, only a fragment of a rule, and it was transmitted through the medium of Zhou Kai.
As the phantom of the stone tablet dissipated.
Heaven and earth gradually returned to peace.
On Lin Chuan's evil buddha golden body, the brilliant chaotic black light also gradually dissipated.
After blocking the erosion of the stone tablet's rules, Lin Chuan's will once again settled upon Zhou Kai!
Kunlun Ruins, outer area,
Zhou Kai's figure was now revealed once again.
He had now completely changed his appearance.
His eyes were no longer filled with previous fear and cowardice, but were instead full of indifference and depth, as if he had seen through everything in the world.
On his back, he surprisingly carried a small, pitch-black stone tablet.
And in his hand, the originally ordinary ghost pen had now turned into an entirely pitch-black taboo pen that emitted a faint, cold light.
[Detection of Believer's status leap!]
[Believer: Zhou Kai!]
[Current Rank: S-Rank Fifth-Tier Taboo Master!]
[Taboo Item: Soul-Suppressing Tablet (Incomplete/Fusing), prophecy pen (s-rank third tier)!]
[Rules: Suppression, Writing the Future!]
[Serial Number: 186.]
"S-rank Fifth Tier..."
Lin Chuan was secretly delighted.
This was an unexpected pleasant surprise!
He hadn't expected that Zhou Kai would actually turn a misfortune into a blessing, leaping to become the strongest combat power under his command!
"Lord Buddha..."
Sensing Lin Chuan's will descending, Zhou Kai slowly raised his head and hurriedly looked towards the Void Realm with respect.
"Very good."
Lin Chuan's voice rang out in his mind.
"Since you have power, then go and do what you should do."
Hearing this, Zhou Kai's gaze instantly became icy cold.
He turned his head and looked at Bao Teng, who was still in shock not far away.
That look was like looking at a dead man.
"Captain Bao..."
"Isn't it time we settled the score between us?"
Being stared at by that gaze, Bao Teng only felt a chill rush from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his skull.
"What do you want to do?!"
He never expected.
That this Zhou Kai, whom he had always treated as cannon fodder, would actually become such a terrifying existence in the blink of an eye!
S-rank Fifth Tier!
The same Rank as him!
Moreover, the Aura emitted by that stone tablet even made the Taboo Items inside his body faintly want to fall into a deep sleep!
Zhou Kai did not respond to Bao Teng; he gripped the prophecy pen in his hand.
He really wanted to rush up right now and mince this pervert into meat paste.
But... "Roar!!!"
Just then.
The [Tomb Guardian] suddenly let out a roar.
The halberd in its hand swung violently, surprisingly tearing through the rule web laid out by the people of the Yanlong Empire.
At the same time.
The dozen or so revived divine statues nearby also rushed over.
"Solve these troubles first."
Lin Chuan's voice rang out at the right time, stopping Zhou Kai's impulse.
Hearing this, the killing intent in Zhou Kai's eyes instantly retracted.
"Yes! My Buddha!"
He responded respectfully.
He also knew that now was not the time to deal with Bao Teng.
Thinking of this, he turned around, his face icy cold, and looked at the 'Tomb Guardian' and those taboo divine statues.
Then, the stone tablet on his back shook violently.
Lin Chuan's rules began to descend thunderously, using Zhou Kai as a medium!!
This time, the Rule Power Lin Chuan sent down... was almost his entire main body's power!
Having become an S-Rank Fifth-Tier Taboo Master, Zhou Kai was already able to withstand all of Lin Chuan's Rule Power!
As Lin Chuan's Taboo Rules spread out, a Buddhist Chant suddenly vibrated.
"Vile Creature!"
"Seeing This Seat, why do you not kneel?!"
Rumble!!!
Just as the grand bell-like Buddhist Chant fell, a sky-blotting black Buddha Hand, carrying an Aura that crushed everything, descended from the sky and slapped directly towards that S-Rank Seventh-Tier taboo... the [Tomb Guardian]!
