142: Chapter 142 I will go alone to eradicate terror.

In the eyes of the Buddha statue, there was no mercy, only endless depth and greed.

Rumble!!!

The moment the Buddha statue opened its eyes, the earth trembled violently.

Immediately after, the Buddha statue began to undergo a frenzied aberration!

Its body, originally only thirty feet tall, instantly swelled to a massive thousand feet!

Golden buddha light erupted from within its body, but this light held no sacred peace; instead, it carried a hair-raising scent of blood and decay.

At the same time, beneath the feet of the Buddha statue...

Countless densely packed human heads broke through the soil, growing wildly like weeds.

Every head belonged to an ugly novice monk with distorted features and a ferocious expression.

They opened their mouths wide, emitting sharp and piercing chants, as if praising some unspeakable horror.

“Ten-Faced Old Master... Multi-Faced Buddha Ancestor...”

Mr. K knelt on the ground, letting out a frantic laugh.

He held his hands high, as if welcoming the descent of some miracle.

“No! Stop!!”

To the side, Ning Shou let out a desperate roar.

His half-woodened, half-charred body began to twist violently as countless roots bored out from within him, binding him tightly.

“Sacrifice... The perfect sacrifice...”

The thousand-foot Buddha statue slowly lowered its head, its ten faces simultaneously revealing eerie smiles.

It reached out a large, scale-covered hand and grabbed Ning Shou.

Squelch!

Ning Shou had no room for resistance; his body was instantly crushed, turning into a mass of bloody energy that merged into the Buddha statue’s body.

Immediately following that...

The crushed remains of Ning Shou suddenly began to squirm and restructure.

A moment later.

A massive, deformed mount covered in eyes and tentacles slowly took shape.

And the face of that mount... actually bore a seventy percent resemblance to Ning Shou!

However, at this moment, his eyes were hollow; he had long since lost himself, completely reduced to a slave of this Buddha statue.

“Hahaha! Beautiful! Simply beautiful!”

Watching this scene, Mr. K trembled with excitement.

He suddenly tore open his own chest and forcibly stuffed the small black Buddha statue in his hand into his still-beating heart!

“Become one with me!”

“Let me become your agent! Let me... create a holy nation for you!”

“Welcome... Chaos God Domain—the descent of the Multi-Faced Buddha Ancestor!!!”

Following Mr. K's vow and prayer, a terrifyingly extreme Taboo Domain Field erupted instantly, centered on the thousand-foot Buddha statue!

It was a Rule Power completely different from Lin Chuan's [Rebirth Buddha Domain].

It was full of Chaos, disorder, and ultimate distortion.

Everywhere it passed...

The anomalies, survivors, and Ghost Controllers of the Peacock Holy Nation all underwent instant aberration.

Their bodies began to twist, their skin began to peel off, and hideous novice monk heads grew out one after another.

Their faces held both an indescribable terror and an eerie sense of peace.

This combination of contradiction and absurdity made anyone who saw it shudder.

In just a short while.

Three Provinces of the Peacock Holy Nation completely fell, entirely shrouded by that terrifying domain!

Not only that.

In the westernmost part of the Peacock Holy Nation.

The already eerie [Spirit Mountain] underwent an even more violent mutation at this moment.

Countless black lotuses grew out of [Spirit Mountain], each nurturing a terrifying evil entity.

On the other side.

Within the 'Holy River' that ran through the entire nation.

Extremely frightening things were also happening!

The river water constantly churned and boiled... a giant Projection with four faces, emitting a golden light, slowly floated to the surface.

The Projection was none other than the medium for the [Brahma] taboo!

At this moment, the entire Peacock Holy Nation was in a state of constant upheaval! Countless eerie horrors were surging out frantically like bamboo shoots after a rain!!

...Land of Rebirth on the Other Shore.

Inside Zhao Linfeng's office.

“This... what is this?!”

Looking at the images sent back by the satellite, Zhao Linfeng's expression was grim.

Those overwhelming aberrant novice monks, that terrifying thousand-foot Buddha statue, and that constantly expanding distorted domain... all of it made him feel a tremor from the depths of his Soul.

“The Peacock Holy Nation... it’s turning into a nest of taboos!!”

Zhou Kai muttered to himself, his eyes full of solemnity.

“And... those taboos show signs of spreading toward us!!”

“Quick! We must notify My Buddha!”

...Meanwhile.

At the border between the Yanlong Empire and the Land of Rebirth on the Other Shore.

Inside a hidden underground altar.

Zhao Lintian was kneeling on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

His body was also undergoing a distorted transformation.

Yellow mist gushed from his pores, corroding his skin until it was riddled with holes.

But instead of feeling pain, he let out bursts of frantic laughter.

“It’s coming... it’s finally coming...”

“My Master... Your will...”

He suddenly looked up; the eyes that originally belonged to a human had long since disappeared, replaced by two clumps of burning yellow flames.

“With my body as a sacrifice... I welcome the descent of the great, immortal, omniscient, and omnipotent... Yellow-Clad Dominator!”

Crack!!!

As his words fell, his body instantly exploded, turning into a cloud of extremely dense yellow mist.

Within that mist.

A tall figure wearing tattered yellow robes, whose face could not be clearly seen, slowly emerged!

The Yellow-Clad Hierarch... has descended!!

Although not yet in its complete form...

Its rule fluctuations, belonging to a Dominator, already caused the surrounding space to begin collapsing on a large scale... Just as the four directions were undergoing great changes.

At the border of the Yanlong Empire.

An Ancient Tomb that had been abandoned for untold ages suddenly cracked open with a fissure.

A dust-covered hand reached out from inside.

Following that.

A scruffy, ragged youth carrying a rusty broken sword slowly climbed out of the Ancient Tomb.

The youth looked very ordinary, even appearing somewhat down-and-out.

However, upon closer observation, one would discover that pure white crane feathers were actually growing on the youth's body!

Those crane feathers faintly emitted a soft glow under the sunlight.

When the youth stood upright, his whole being seemed to be the transformation of some divine crane, exuding an otherworldly elegance and aloofness.

“Cough, cough...”

The youth patted the dirt off his clothes and looked up at this chaotic world.

In his clear eyes, there was a sense of calm and indifference after having experienced the vicissitudes of time.

“After many eras, has calamity... come again?”

He murmured softly; his voice wasn't loud, yet it seemed to penetrate through eternal time and space.

“The apocalypse of Chaos and terror...”

“I shall stand outside the gate, all alone...”

“Carrying the legacy of the Ancestors, I will purge everything and protect the Dongsheng Continent!!”

The youth muttered to himself and slowly unsheathed the broken sword on his back.

Then, he turned his head and took a deep look in the direction of the Land of Rebirth on the Other Shore.

“A variable!?”

A faint smile appeared on the youth's face.

“No matter. Since I have returned, I shall suppress everything in this world!”

Afterward, he looked around in all directions.

Finally, he shifted his gaze toward the Kunlun Ruins.

Whoosh!!

The youth took a step forward.

His figure instantly transformed into a streak of white light and vanished from the spot.
