220: The God of Law Arrives

Five colossal,pitch black fingers, like mountains toppling, instantly covered the heads of the three, bringing with them a foul wind that tore at space.

Just as the demonic claw was about to close—

The divine statue suddenly burst forth with a dazzling golden light.

This light was not thick, but it carried an unstoppable penetrative power, shooting straight towards the sky-obscuring demonic palm.

“Chh—”

The moment the golden light touched the demonic palm, it made a sound like a hot iron entering water.

A bowl-sized hole was burned into the center of the giant demonic palm, with black smoke continuously rising from the edges, emitting a nauseating burnt smell.

“Ah!!!”

The Demon Monk Warden let out a heart-wrenching scream, his entire arm retracting sharply like a scalded viper.

The sky-obscuring demonic palm instantly disintegrated, turning into a sky full of black mist that dissipated into the air.

“Who—?! Get out here for this one!!!”

In extreme rage, his pupils shrunk to pinpricks, staring fixedly and venomously at the still unsolidified phantom of the divine statue deep within the temple!

The golden light had shot out from there!

“Roar—! All of you, attack! Tear apart this light barrier! Rip apart the vile creatures inside and that damned divine statue, rip them all apart!!!”

With a single command, the entire plaza completely erupted!

Countless Demon Monks, like ants, surrounded the small temple, advancing one after another.

Fortunately, Huixin and the other two had seized the opportunity to scramble into the range of the light barrier.

Although the divine light was faint, it firmly blocked the surging Devilish Qi from outside.

Those clawing Demon Monks hovered outside the light barrier, letting out unwilling roars, but never daring to cross the line.

Some weaker Demon Monks had even been directly killed by the divine light.

“They can’t get in, I’ve survived!”

The three lay on the ground, every part of their bodies aching, their hands clasped tightly together, as if grasping their last reliance.

A moment later, Huixin struggled to prop herself up and looked inside the temple.

She saw the phantom of a divine statue, not yet fully solidified, radiating a warm light.

It was this divine statue that had saved them.

* * *

Outside the temple, across this land of the Western Regions Buddhist Kingdom defiled by Extraterrestrial Demons, similar scenes were simultaneously unfolding in countless corners—

Disheveled women, weak infants, old people as withered as firewood.

Every temple of Lord Chuping was like a lighthouse suddenly rising in a sea of filthy demonic Qi.

It brought a moment of respite to this forgotten purgatory, and a common name—Lord Chuping.

* * *

Meanwhile, in Lin Chuping’s Sea of Consciousness, the System watched the Power Of Will value on the screen, which, after a waterfall-like plummet the moment the temple projection appeared, fluctuated wildly like a roller coaster, then slowly accumulated, gradually stabilizing.

“Host! Host! It’s stable! It’s stable!!!”

“ICU alert cleared!”

“Looking at this momentum, the Host is about to take off.”

“...”

The System chattered excitedly, trembling like a flower in the wind.

Lin Chuping’s Incarnation of consciousness floated in the torrent.

He had just endured the immense Origin consumption and Divine Soul impact from constructing the “Myriad People’s Cauldron · Myriad Realms Projection,” his face still bearing a trace of paleness, and even undried “mental bloodstains” on his forehead.

“Noisy.”

Just two words instantly silenced the overly excited System, like a duck with its neck squeezed.

But after a moment of quiet, the System, as if having suffered a huge blow, began to whine.

“...Host, you used to... weren’t like this...”

“When you liked me, you called me Tong Ge; when you didn’t, you complained I talked too much.”

“Back then, though we were dirt poor and had to count every bit of Power Of Will, at least... at least we could discuss things. Now you’ve become the ‘Agent Heavenly Dao,’ holding the Power Of Will of all living beings, turning clouds into rain with a flick of your hand, and you complain I’m noisy?...”

“Whine whine whine... You’ve changed... You’ve become so cold, so heartless... like a heartless scoundrel who pulls... pulls that thing out without mercy... [whine]”

Lin Chuping: “...”

What had he pulled out without mercy?

“System, you haven’t watched too many melodramatic dramas, have you? You’re quite good at adding drama for yourself!”

Previously, everything he had came from the System, which even held the power of life and death over him.

What was wrong with calling it “Ge”?

If the System wanted, he would even kowtow and call it “Dad.”

Could it be the same now?

Times had changed.

Now the System had completely become an auxiliary tool; the existence behind the System had already fallen, and Lin Chuping had risen from serfdom to sing his own song!

Not bringing up old scores and kicking the System around was already a benevolent act.

“I don’t care, whine whine whine...”

The System continued its tragic play, but Lin Chuping simply chose to ignore it.

Block!

The world was finally quiet.

* * *

At this moment, countless scattered temples across the world formed a giant net, enveloping the entire world.

Many temples had already begun to function, providing protection to all living beings.

Of course, correspondingly, many temples also began to be attacked by pollutants.

Yes, Lin Chuping uniformly referred to all creatures affected by the Qi of the Extraterrestrial Demon as pollutants.

These were his primary targets for extermination.

“This is really bad!”

In his Sea of Consciousness, the golden net began to shake, clearly indicating that some temples were already wavering under the attack of the pollutants.

“It seems I’ll have to go there myself!”

The most severely shaking temple was the refuge of Huixin, Alan, and Xiaoyue.

It was also one of the pivotal nodes of the entire Western Regions Buddhist Kingdom’s faith network!

Vast Power Of Will instantly converged frantically from various nodes of the net of all living beings, no longer used for remote purification, but entirely poured into his own consciousness Origin!

“With Power Of Will as bone!”

“With Power Of Will as blood!”

“With the authority of the Heavenly Dao as Soul!”

“Dharma Body—coalesce!”

Boom!

It was not a physical sound, but a majestic vibration that resonated on the rule level, announcing the descent of a deity!

Western Regions Buddhist Kingdom, Demonic City Plaza.

Huixin, Alan, and Xiaoyue nervously peered through the temple’s light barrier, looking at the towering Demon Buddha statue outside.

It sat cross-legged on a “lotus throne” condensed from countless suffering Souls and filthy Devilish Qi, its sole remaining eye oozing viscous black blood, staring fixedly at the temple in the plaza.

Beside it, a deformed giant hand slowly rose, its palm condensing a terrifying dark energy sphere that continuously rotated, compressed, and emitted a distortion that warped space itself!

The aura of destruction locked onto the temple!

“It... it’s going to attack again!”

Xiaoyue’s face turned pale with fright, clutching Huixin’s hand tightly.

“Lord Chuping... protect us...”

Alan closed her eyes in prayer, her voice trembling.

Just as that destructive dark energy was about to erupt—

The space above the temple, without warning, tore open a huge fissure, flowing with golden-purple radiance!

A vast pressure, like an invisible divine mountain, crashed down! All the roaring demonic creatures in the entire plaza, including the giant Demon Buddha statue, suddenly froze! The pressure contained the supreme majesty of the Heavenly Dao, and an absolute restraint over all sources of filth!

Immediately after, a figure stepped out from that spatial rift.
