153: Chapter 153 The Overlord, a Threat from the Fallen Light Court

In the grey mist, figures of hideous and terrifying, fierce and Chaos taboos and weirdness were now piously kneeling beneath a thousand-meter-tall Buddhist Pagoda.

From their mouths, they chanted twisted yet sacred scriptures.

At the very top of that giant Buddhist Pagoda, Lin Chuan's [Old Master of Death Plague] Clone stood silently.

His eyes were tightly closed, and the densely packed Buddha heads on the wings behind his back displayed thousands of forms.

Rage, sorrow, stillness, joy, evil, greed, kindness... all sorts of countenances and forms rose and fell across the faces of those Buddha heads.

“amitabha buddha...”

“My Dao is merciful...”

The [Old Master of Death Plague] Clone chanted the Buddhist name, and the Projection of a sea of blood beneath his feet surged and rolled.

Listening to the sound of his Buddhist name, those taboos and weirdness became increasingly fanatical and pious in their faith toward Lin Chuan... Lin Chuan withdrew his will from the [Old Master of Death Plague] Clone and refocused on the Land of Rebirth on the Other Shore.

At this moment, with one-third of the Peacock Holy Nation's territory fallen, the map of the forces under Lin Chuan's Control had undergone unprecedented expansion.

Countless weirdness and survivors converted, becoming Believers of the Rebirth Cult and providing Lin Chuan with a steady stream of Power Of Will.

More importantly.

That mysterious and dangerous [Spirit Mountain] had now also completely become something within Lin Chuan's grasp!

“Yellow Robe, enter Spirit Mountain.”

Lin Chuan sat upon the Lotus Pedestal inside the Rebirth Temple, and an indifferent will was conveyed down.

“As you command!”

Far away in the 'Peacock Holy Nation', the Yellow-Robed Arhat respectfully took the order.

Draped in a cassock and holding a staff, he strode into that dilapidated and eerie temple.

With his entry, the twisted Buddhas, rotten Bodhisattvas, and countless hideous Arhats and Novice Monks originally entrenched on Spirit Mountain all opened and closed their eyes, as if welcoming his arrival.

Just as the Yellow-Robed Arhat took charge of Spirit Mountain and Zhao Linfeng and the others prepared to strike while the iron was hot, continuing south to completely annex the entire Peacock Holy Nation.

The “Brahma” taboo, sleeping in the depths of the Holy River, finally could no longer sit still.

Splash!!!

Upon the Holy River, the water boiled, turning into a sky full of golden mist and rain.

Within that mist, a massive figure with four faces and four arms, emitting an aura intertwined with the sacred and the fallen, slowly emerged from the water's surface.

The figure was none other than the [Brahma Taboo]!

One of its faces was merciful, as if pitying the world; one face was furious, like a glaring Vajra; one face was indifferent, viewing all living beings as ants;

And its last face was smiling eerily, as if mocking everything in this world... divinity, Chaos, evil, order... various contradictory Rule Powers were perfectly fused within it, forming a bizarre chaotic order.

The blending of these rules had remarkably reached the SSS-Rank Fourth Tier level!!

“Lost ones... stop.”

The four mouths of the “Brahma” taboo spoke simultaneously, their voices like a great bell echoing between heaven and earth.

“This place... is the Kingdom of God.”

“Those who cross the boundary... shall fall into the abyss!”

As its words fell.

An invisible rule barrier instantly rose, blocking everyone from the Land of Rebirth on the Other Shore!

“Oh!?”

Inside the Rebirth Temple, Lin Chuan stared at the “Brahma” taboo through the eyes of his Believers.

In the next moment, with a thought, his original body's rules instantly crossed space and descended directly onto the Yellow-Robed Arhat.

In an instant!

The Yellow-Robed Arhat's body shuddered violently.

Behind him, the Void Realm split open, and a gargantuan Projection of a black Buddha face, filled with both evil and holiness, slowly emerged!

On that Buddha face, two eyes streaming with black blood gazed coldly at the Brahma Taboo opposite it.

“na mo... ami... tabha.”

As the Buddhist name rang out.

Countless blood-colored lotuses bloomed in the Void Realm, each with an eerie Projection of a Buddha seated upon it.

And on both sides of that Buddha face.

The [six taboos of meishan] transformed into six demon gods, roaring at the sky.

The [Fallen Heaven Resentful Spirit] spread its wings of a thousand eyes, death light flowing through them.

The [Weeping Blood Rakshasa] held the Scale, its killing intent boiling.

Along with the Yellow-Robed Arhat descending with the might of the entire Spirit Mountain... at this moment, although Lin Chuan's true body had not arrived, he already displayed a sense of oppression comparable to a low-level 'Dominator'!!

“The ill-fated Peacock Holy Nation must believe in my Dao to reach the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss...”

Lin Chuan's voice came through the Buddha face Projection, carrying an unquestionable, vast holiness.

Facing the Buddha face Projection in the sky, the expressions on the four faces of the Brahma Taboo were varied.

Rage, wariness, indifference, mockery... It took a deep look at Lin Chuan and did not directly launch a rule attack.

It seemed to be weighing its options.

“Half.”

A moment later, it suddenly spoke slowly.

“Peacock Holy Nation... I am willing to cede half of the territory.”

“Using this as the boundary... we shall not encroach upon each other.”

“Half?”

Lin Chuan was slightly taken aback.

He could sense that this Brahma Taboo was deliberately showing weakness.

“There must be something fishy about this.”

But for now, he also didn't want to truly fight to the death with this ancient taboo!

The “Brahma” standing here was not the true body, nor was it even a medium Projection.

It was merely the manifestation of a wisp of ethereal rules.

As for its true body... Lin Chuan speculated that it was at least an SSS-Rank Ninth Tier existence!

“Acceptable.”

Lin Chuan finally agreed to the “Brahma” taboo's proposal.

No matter what the other party was plotting, Lin Chuan didn't care.

Taking half of the Peacock Holy Nation for now and further improving himself... that was what was most important!!

As both parties reached an agreement.

The heavy atmosphere between heaven and earth instantly dissipated.

Lin Chuan's Buddha face Projection also gradually faded away.

Immediately after, the army, Ghost Controllers, and Taboo Masters of the Land of Rebirth on the Other Shore poured in like a tide, quickly occupying half of the Peacock Holy Nation's territory.

And the “Brahma” taboo also sank back into that foul-smelling, turbid, and eerie 'Holy River'.

A conflict seemed to have come to a close.

But Lin Chuan knew.

This was only a temporary compromise.

When the time was ripe, whether it was the “Brahma” taboo or himself, they would not hesitate to strike again until the other was completely devoured!

...After resolving the expansion issue.

Lin Chuan turned his will back toward the West Continent.

The [Old Master of Death Plague] Clone he controlled currently only held one percent of the West Continent's area.

Lin Chuan was not satisfied with this.

He wanted to annex the entire West Continent!!

“That Fallen Light Court...”

Lin Chuan remembered the taboo power behind the [Rotten Old Master] from before.

The grey mist shrouding the West Continent... seemed to have countless ties to the 'Fallen Light Court'!!

Perhaps before long, the Old Masters and Dominators of the Fallen Light Court... and even that SSS-Rank Eighth Tier Dominator behind the scenes, would descend upon the West Continent!

Lin Chuan knew that by turning the [Rotten Old Master] into his Clone, he had already angered the Fallen Light Court behind it... the arrival of the Fallen Light Court would inevitably pose a threat to him!

“I must prepare for a rainy day.”

Lin Chuan thought to himself.

Just as he was considering his countermeasures.

Another shocking piece of news came from the Yanlong Empire's side.
