144: Chapter 144 Lin Chuan's Madness: Attempting to Create an SSS-Level Clone

Under the influence of the Rotten Old Master's Rule Power, bizarre scenes began to manifest across the entire Sloda Country!

The sky turned a grotesque yellow-green, and the earth resembled patches of moth-eaten rotten meat, constantly oozing black pus and blood.

Countless twisted, foul-smelling corpses frantically burrowed out from underground like poisonous mushrooms after a rain.

Carrying the most primitive hatred and desire for the living, gurgling wails continuously bubbled from their mouths.

"Praise... my Lord!!!"

At that moment, the Rotten Old Master's "White-robed Figures" kin let out loud cries and then exploded one by one like inflated balloons, turning into vast clouds of thick yellow mist that perfectly merged with the plague rules released by the Rotten Old Master.

Wherever the mist passed, space began to dissolve, and the barriers of the real world seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

After being tainted by the mist, mold spots appeared on Xia Lange's tailcoat, and his originally exquisite skin began to turn an abnormal grayish-white.

Yet he seemed not to notice, still maintaining his almost morbidly elegant demeanor.

Meanwhile, his hands moved faster and faster, and he muttered under his breath in a fanatical and pious tone.

"Great card game dominator, player of the endless chessboard and Life Cards..."

"Please listen to the summons of your most faithful servant and descend here..."

"With fate as the stake and the Soul as the chip..."

Following his summons, countless golden cards emerged out of thin air, flying and circling around him.

Each card was inscribed with a different eerie pattern, emitting mysterious Rule Power fluctuations.

Clatter... The cards connected end to end, transforming into golden rule chains that ignored spatial distance and tightly coiled around the raging, maddened Rotten Old Master.

On the other side.

The coughing ghoul clone controlled by Lin Chuan was in even worse condition.

His paper-like body was already covered in dense cracks, as if it would shatter at any moment.

But Lin Chuan didn't care.

"na mo... Amitabha."

A low, grand, yet infinitely evil Buddhist chant rang out from around the coughing ghoul clone's broken body.

The black Chaos Buddha-light spread like ink, instantly forcing back the yellow-green plague mist by several yards.

A massive, blurred phantom of a Buddha face, full of majesty and eeriness, slowly emerged behind the Coughing Ghoul.

That was... a Projection of Lin Chuan's true self!

The moment the Buddha face appeared, the Life-Reaping Sanskrit Sound rule Lin Chuan controlled immediately activated.

Between heaven and earth, the Buddhist chant rang like a bell—grand and solemn, yet with a hint of wickedness!

Countless black sanskrit characters, like living tadpoles, swam out from the Void Realm and burrowed into the Rotten Old Master's body, interfering with His consciousness and plunging Him into a deeper state of Chaos.

Next, Lin Chuan's Buddha Kingdom in the Palm rule descended.

A sky-blotting phantom of a black Buddha palm, carrying a terrifying Aura that suppressed everything, fell from the sky and slammed heavily onto the Rotten Old Master's massive body.

Bang!

The collision of rules triggered a violent tremor in space.

Simultaneously, the Weakening authority Lin Chuan possessed quietly took effect.

The Rotten Old Master's originally incredibly violent Aura was instantly weakened by a notch, like a burning fire being suddenly doused with a bowl of cold water.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

As the coughing ghoul clone's coughing intensified.

Lin Chuan's Ghost Dream rule also began to spread.

An invisible dream membrane silently covered the Rotten Old Master's surroundings, attempting to pull Him into an eternal nightmare from which He could never wake.

Under the triple influence of Xia Lange's Chains of Fate, Lin Chuan's Multiple Rules, and the will of the card game dominator.

Even the SSS Tier Level 1 Rotten Old Master now found it difficult to struggle.

After all, what had descended here was only half of His body.

Realizing His situation, He roared frantically, the pustules on His body bursting and spraying highly corrosive venom in an attempt to break through the layers of rule restraints.

However, as time passed, His resistance became increasingly futile.

His massive body began to tremble violently, and even the chaotic rules radiating outward continued to weaken.

"Now is the time!"

A sharp glint flashed in Xia Lange's eyes.

He suddenly threw out his final trump card—the Fate Joker Card he had always kept close and never shown!

"Fate... Tampering!"

The Joker card turned into a bolt of black lightning and plunged directly into the Rotten Old Master's forehead.

Crack!!

The Rotten Old Master's body suddenly froze.

His consciousness seemed to have been hit by a pause button.

At the same time.

A larger, older, and infinitely majestic and greedy will surged frantically into His body through the channel opened by that Joker card.

That was the true original will of the card game dominator!

He intended to completely occupy this perfect SSS-tier vessel!

Watching this, the smile on Xia Lange's face grew increasingly radiant, even somewhat distorted.

"As long as my Lord descends... this world will belong to them!"

However.

At this critical juncture.

A sudden change occurred!

The coughing ghoul clone, which had been assisting in the suppression, suddenly charged toward the still-struggling Rotten Old Master like a moth to a flame!

"What?!"

The smile on Xia Lange's face instantly froze.

"What are you trying to do?!"

He roared in anger.

But Lin Chuan ignored him entirely, instead controlling the coughing ghoul clone to crash directly into the Rotten Old Master's massive body.

Puchi!

The moment it merged into the Rotten Old Master's body, the coughing ghoul clone's form was instantly dissolved by a wave of Corrosion Rules, turning into a cluster of pure rule energy.

But... it wasn't over.

The moment that energy dissipated.

A bizarre will belonging to Lin Chuan's true self, carrying the characteristics of the Ego Godhead, quietly invaded the Rotten Old Master's body like a maggot in the bone along that Rule Link!

Lin Chuan was attempting to use the Ego Godhead authority and various Taboo Rules he controlled to... reverse-corrode and take Control of the Rotten Old Master's SSS-tier body!

He wanted to take this opportunity to gamble!

If he failed, at most he would lose a coughing ghoul clone.

If he succeeded, he could create a powerful 'SSS Tier Level 1' Clone!

"You all... deserve to die!!!"

"The Fallen Light Court... my Lord... will cleanse you all!!"

The Rotten Old Master let out an even more violent and painful roar.

Inside His body, there was now not only His own will but also the will of the card game dominator and... the uninvited guest, Lin Chuan!

The three wills fought and gambled frantically within His body.

His body constantly expanded and contracted violently, the pustules on the surface bursting and then healing.

A storm of rules raged around Him, completely leveling the ruins within a hundred-mile radius.

"Damn it! Damned bug!"

Xia Lange was exasperated.

He could feel that the card game dominator's descent process had been severely interfered with, and there was even... a risk of backlash!

"To dare to plot against my Lord..."

"You will pay the price for this!"

In the sky.

The will belonging to the card game dominator also let out an enraged roar.

He hadn't expected that a mere local SS-Rank Taboo would dare to snatch food from the tiger's mouth!

But now.

He had already been drawn into this chaotic battle of wills, and it was too late to withdraw.

He could only continue to increase His investment, attempting to crush the wills of Lin Chuan and the Rotten Old Master with absolute Rule Power.
