196: Chapter 196 The Non-existent Door, A Warning Left by Our Ancestors
A wisp of Lin Chuan's will was quietly staring at the old grave before him through the perspective of the six taboos of meishan.
This old grave was very strange.
It had no tombstone, and even the sealing earth exhibited a blackened, deathly stillness.
However, the very top of the old grave had completely collapsed, revealing a bottomless, massive black hole that seemed to lead directly to the Nine Serene Hells!
The soil at the edge of the black hole was turned outward, with extremely viscous black corrosive fluid remaining on it.
There were even several broken, eerie fingernails covered in green hair deeply embedded in the soil.
Every trace exuded an extreme, hair-raising horror.
It was as if not long ago, some extremely terrifying and ancient ominous thing...
...had forcibly torn open this grave and crawled out from the depths of the earth!
At this moment, the six taboos of meishan stood blankly before this collapsed old grave like frightened quails.
Their massive, twisted taboo bodies were shaking violently and uncontrollably!
Fear even leaked from their hollow eyes.
To be able to make taboos tremble, the thing hidden in this old grave was clearly far from simple!
Lin Chuan's thoughts stirred slightly; he had an extremely strong premonition in the dark.
The "door that doesn't exist" mentioned by the Pharaoh probably stood in the deepest part of this old grave!
"Enter."
A cold, grand, and extremely wicked Rule Buddhist sound boomed directly within the Souls of the six taboos of meishan!
Hearing Lin Chuan's Buddhist decree, although the six taboos of meishan were terrified to the extreme and their instincts were resisting frantically...
...in the end, they still stiffly moved their feet and advanced step by step.
Step, step, step...
Six massive dark shadows slowly walked into that collapsed, pitch-black hole.
The moment they stepped into the old grave.
The surrounding spatial rules underwent an earth-shattering and terrifying transformation!
Inside, it was not some narrow and confined burial chamber.
Instead, it was a suffocatingly massive and completely distorted independent space-time!
Gravity completely lost its meaning here; up was down, and left was right.
The six taboos of meishan walked on a suspended plank path paved entirely with pale skeletons.
Below the plank path was a bottomless absolute darkness that seemed capable of swallowing all light and sound.
Above was a chaotic Void Realm where countless solidified drops of black blood floated.
The deeper they went, the more intense the oppressive and deathly aura became.
It was as if even the Concept of the passage of time was completely frozen and erased here.
Just as the six taboos of meishan were constantly going deeper.
Inside the Rebirth Temple.
Deep within Lin Chuan's consciousness, an extremely hidden rule ripple suddenly surfaced.
"Great... Unknown..."
A shriveled, hoarse, distorted voice, like fingernails scratching glass, rang out without warning in Lin Chuan's will!
The source of the voice was precisely that Pharaoh from The Unrotting Outer Court!
This ancient agent from the depths of the third layer of the Nightmare, who served a demigod.
"Through the key, I have sensed it..."
Within the Pharaoh's hollow and distorted voice, there was an undisguisable fanaticism and urgency.
"That door... that door that doesn't exist..."
"It is in the deepest part of this old grave!"
"We are about to... find it..."
Accompanying the Pharaoh's voice, the Bronze Key carried by the six taboos of meishan began to vibrate violently.
It emitted an extremely ancient and cold demigod rule.
"Quickly... Great Unknown..."
"Use the key I gave you... to open it!"
"As long as you push open that door... the True Land... will be completely open to us!"
"The answers to all rules... ultimate immortality and eternity..."
"They are all behind the door!"
The Pharaoh babbled on with his incitement.
Facing the Pharaoh's urging, Lin Chuan did not respond.
He directly mobilized his own rules, using the six taboos of meishan as a medium to press directly onto that Bronze Key.
In an instant, his rules transformed into chains, sealing the key tightly!
Although the rules emitted by the key belonged to a demigod, this wisp of demigod rule was incredibly ethereal and weak... it wasn't difficult for Lin Chuan to suppress it.
The Pharaoh's distorted and hoarse fanatical ravings were also forcibly cut off under the influence of Lin Chuan's rules.
Lin Chuan's consciousness refocused on the perspective of the six taboos of meishan.
By now, these six taboo Puppets had already followed the skeleton plank path to the extreme depths.
The surrounding scenery became increasingly bizarre, distorted, and hair-raising.
In the originally empty darkness, incredibly massive walls actually began to appear.
These walls were not made of earth or stone.
Instead, they were composed of some constantly wriggling, foul-smelling dark red flesh!
The flesh walls were covered with dense, tiny mouths that constantly opened and closed.
They seemed to be silently telling of a completely buried and taboo ancient era.
And on the surface of these flesh walls.
There were actually countless extremely ancient and obscure characters carved, appearing as if written in black blood!
These characters twisted and moved like living tadpoles, emitting a faint, ghostly green light.
Even for existences at the level of the six taboos of meishan, just having their gaze sweep across them...
...would cause their massive bodies to suddenly stiffen, their Mental Energy seemingly drained frantically as they fell into extreme Chaos.
Through the Peeping rule, Lin Chuan indifferently scanned the characters on these walls.
As his Rule Power forcibly analyzed them, the panel deep within his consciousness began to flash frantically.
[Warning! Detected information pollution exceeding the current dimension!]
[Attempting forced analysis...]
[Warning! Rule logic conflict! Analysis partially incomplete!]
Lines of scarlet garbled code jumped within Lin Chuan's consciousness.
In the end, the panel only barely translated a few fragmented pieces of desperate information.
"Must not be opened... that is the source of all evil..."
"Suppress... with our flesh and blood... suppress this unspeakable thing..."
"Behind the door... annihilation... no hope..."
"Only... the end of the era... and... the unviewable..."
The information stopped abruptly there, as if the subsequent characters had been forcibly erased by some great power.
These characters were contradictory, revealing the extreme despair left by the carver before their mind completely collapsed.
Lin Chuan guessed that these warning messages might have been left by the Ancestors of the Dongsheng Continent.
But he didn't care at all.
In this great era where the bizarre ran rampant, nothing else mattered.
He only needed to follow his own rhythm to devour and Control everything.
"Continue walking."
Lin Chuan once again transmitted a decree to the six taboos of meishan.
Guided by Lin Chuan's will, they continued to advance. With every step forward, that extremely oppressive rule pressure, which felt like it would collapse the dimension, increased manifold.
Finally.
After walking for more than half an hour,
The skeleton plank path reached its end.
The flesh walls ahead suddenly opened up.
A massive circular altar appeared, extremely empty and spliced together from countless pale skulls.
In the center of the altar, there were no offerings, nor was there the ancient coffin Lin Chuan had imagined.
There was only an absolute void so deep it could swallow light, sound, and even rules.
Right in the center of that void.
Through the hollow vision of the six taboos of meishan, which was nearly on the verge of shattering.
Lin Chuan finally saw it.
That door!
That door the Pharaoh called the one that doesn't exist!!
It just stood there quietly in the void.
Without any support, and without any doorframe.
It seemed to not belong to any dimension of the Real World, nor to any layer of the Nightmare.
It seemed to be an absolute taboo woven from pure "Concepts" and "Negations."
An extremely absurd and contradictory visual impact instantly flooded Lin Chuan's consciousness!
Lin Chuan found that when he tried to use rules to see its outline clearly, it seemed to be an ancient, mottled bronze giant door.
But when his thoughts shifted slightly, it turned into a rotting door sewn together from countless wriggling pieces of flesh.
It was both real matter and an illusory Projection.
It... could not be described, nor could it be actually observed!!
If one gazed at it for a long time, even an ordinary SSS-Rank Taboo would be infected and dragged into the unknown abyss!!
On this door, there wasn't a single crack.
There was also no door handle or keyhole.
Only in the very center of the door existed an extremely abrupt groove emitting a ghostly green light.
The shape and patterns of the groove were complex to the extreme.
And that outline perfectly matched the Bronze Key given by the Pharaoh of The Unrotting Outer Court!
An aura that surpassed high-level Dominators, surpassed demigods!
Even the woman in Burial City who was suspected to be a Fallen God could not compare to this ultimate aura!
It was faintly seeping through that void conceptual door.
That was absolute silence.
It was the ultimate ominousness sufficient to make the entire Universe, all dimensions, and all rules completely return to zero!
After staring directly at this door for a few seconds.
Inside the Rebirth Temple, upon Lin Chuan's evil buddha golden body, the chaotic black light surrounding it suddenly began to vibrate and contract violently!
Behind the door... there is a great terror!!
Lin Chuan's heart and Soul trembled violently!
At this moment, an even more horrifying scene occurred.
Standing at the edge of the skull altar, the mountain-like taboo bodies of the six taboos of meishan...
...actually began to silently... melt!
Before this door, SS-Rank Taboos were like ice and snow meeting a blazing sun, unable to exist for long at all.
Noticing this, Lin Chuan activated his main body's rules, instantly controlling the six taboos of meishan to retreat violently!
