46: Chapter 46 Finding One's True Self? The Power of the Unseen Rules of the Mind

Boom!!

As the hoarse, grating voice of the [Weeping Blood Rakshasa] continued to echo, the massive bloody phantom of the Scale behind it slowly tilted.

At this moment, the Law power was boiling incessantly.

"Hiss!!!"

The two primary heads of the [Eight-Headed Black Snake] were struck; it let out a hiss as the Scales on its necks cracked and crumbled... Meanwhile.

"Roar!!!"

The [Mountain-Moving Strongman] also charged forward.

It swung its heavy fists, which were capable of shattering mountains; every punch that landed seemed as if it would smash the Void Realm to pieces!!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Under the [Mountain-Moving Strongman]'s brutal assault, the four secondary heads of the Eight-Headed Black Snake exploded one after another, turning into a sky full of black mist.

On its remaining two secondary heads, its vertical pupils opened and closed, erupting with terrifying chaotic lightning in an attempt to counterattack.

But it was meaningless.

The taboo Laws Lin Chuan unleashed were also descending continuously!

A giant palm, evolved from the Laws of the [Buddha Kingdom in the Palm], slammed down with a crash.

Boom!!!

With a thunderous sound, the Buddha's hand closed.

The distorted Buddhist scripts in the center of the palm flowed frantically, forming an absolute space of imprisonment that tightly trapped the projection of the [Black Snake Taboo] within.

No matter how it struggled or roared, it could not budge the giant hand in the slightest.

"No!! This is impossible!!"

Seeing the Lord he worshipped being suppressed and unable to move, the Black Serpent Emissary's face was filled with panic.

He could not accept any of this!!

The greatness of the Lord could cause the Void Realm to collapse, make time flow backward, and influence all things... The Lord could not lose!

The Lord is omnipotent!!

The Black Serpent Emissary roared in his heart.

But gradually, his heart... was left with only fear and despair.

"My Lord... is invincible..."

"How is this possible..."

He murmured, frantically waving his cane in an attempt to activate the [Corrupt] Law to rescue his faith... At the moment the Law erupted, countless blood-red hands reached out from the ground, grabbing toward Lin Chuan's evil buddha golden body.

However, his current actions were like an ant trying to shake a tree.

Lin Chuan didn't even bother to pay him much attention.

"Na... mo..."

Before those blood-red hands could get close to Lin Chuan, they were all erased and suppressed by Lin Chuan's [Life-Reaping Sanskrit Sound] Law!

Thud!!

The Black Serpent Emissary was also suppressed by the Buddhist Chant; he felt dizzy and suddenly collapsed onto the ground, his bones shattered, turning into a pile of mush, unable to move anymore.

He wasn't actually weak.

As a kin of the Black Snake Taboo, he was neither human, nor ghost, nor taboo... even facing an ordinary S-Rank First Order taboo, he could handle it with ease.

But in front of the current Lin Chuan, he truly wasn't enough.

After being completely suppressed, his gentlemanly image was also torn apart, leaving only hysterical roars and resentment.

Just as the Black Serpent Emissary still wanted to struggle.

Within the Void Realm, the grand Buddha's name resounded through the world once more.

"na mo amitabha buddha..."

As the Buddha's name merged with the [Life-Reaping Sanskrit Sound], two lines of blood-tears slid down the cheeks of Lin Chuan's evil buddha golden body.

That originally blurred Buddha face actually became slightly clearer at this moment.

Compassion, ferocity, horror, holiness... countless distinct expressions appeared on that face simultaneously, weaving into a sense of holiness that made the Soul tremble.

At the edge of the square.

A B-Rank Ghost Controller from the Black Snake Society stared blankly at the scene in the sky.

Looking at the Buddha appearance Lin Chuan revealed, his eyes turned red, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

"True Buddha... true buddha of rebirth... I understand... this Disciple understands..."

He suddenly knelt on the ground, his whole body trembling, frantically kowtowing to Lin Chuan.

"In this World of Five Defilements, if one harbors evil thoughts, seeing the True Buddha reveals a hideous face!"

"If one holds the right path, seeing the True Buddha is like being bathed in golden light!"

"My Buddha is merciful!!"

Following his shouts and chants.

A strange fluctuation radiated from within his body.

That was the B-Ranked Anomaly he controlled—the 'Heart Ghoul'.

This aberration was very special; its rule was "whatever the mind thinks becomes true."

When the 'Heart Ghoul' fully recovered, its potential was nearly limitless.

Just as the Ghost Controller of the 'Heart Ghoul' firmly believed Lin Chuan was the True Buddha who saves people from suffering, and this belief reached its peak... in his eyes, Lin Chuan's evil buddha golden body, which was originally pitch-black and radiating an evil aura, actually... emitted a glimmer of golden light!

That golden light was very faint and thin.

But it carried a sense of pure holiness and warmth.

It pierced through the Chaos and the darkness, lightly covering Lin Chuan's body, as if reflecting upon the ten directions of all worlds... Hum!!

At this moment, Lin Chuan's main body also jolted violently.

A long-lost feeling welled up in his heart.

Some lost things seemed to be returning.

Lin Chuan suddenly realized that it was his 'Ego'!!!

Ever since becoming the Buddha statue, as his Terror Level increased, his humanity had been stripped away, becoming increasingly chaotic, even more like a pure collection of Laws.

But now.

Under the flow of this golden light.

He saw his self and clearly saw his heart, which had been shrouded in mist... In the past, he was often controlled by the Laws.

Now, he truly Controlled the Laws!!

An unprecedented sense of ease filled his consciousness.

At this very moment, deep within his consciousness, segments of information popped up on the panel:

[The Master has received a special Law blessing!]

[The Master has regained his 'Ego'!]

[Congratulations, Master! You have touched upon a power of a higher dimension!]

[You have obtained Sequence 9 Authority · Ego Godhead (Completeness: 00.21%)!]

[Obtained a special Fanatic Believer: Li Shanyuan!]

"Godhead?!"

Lin Chuan's heart stirred slightly.

Although he didn't know exactly what this thing was for, to be called "Authority" and contain the word "God," it must be an extraordinary existence.

And that feeling of finding himself again made him feel incredibly grounded.

However, now was not the time to study this.

Lin Chuan quickly composed himself and focused his attention back on the [Black Snake Taboo] projection.

"It's time to end this."

He further activated the taboo Laws.

The black Buddha hand imprisoning the Eight-Headed Black Snake projection instantly closed.

Boom!!!

The [Black Snake Taboo] projection instantly shattered, turning into countless black Law fragments.

Then, these Law fragments surged into Lin Chuan's body like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.

Immediately after.

The [Buddha Kingdom in the Palm] Law Lin Chuan unleashed slammed down toward the ground, striking the Black Serpent Emissary, who was still gasping for breath.

Soon, the Black Serpent Emissary was also swallowed by Lin Chuan's Law power... After consuming the [Black Snake Taboo] projection plus a Black Serpent Emissary, Lin Chuan's Terror Level quickly began to rise!

In just a short moment, he rose two Ranks in a row, directly becoming an S-Rank Fourth Tier taboo!!

Having done all this.

Lin Chuan's 360-degree gaze looked down at the millions of shaken Believers below, as well as the little girl who was still shivering.

"For those with sins, only rebirth can clear Karma and sever Karma."

"amitabha buddha, how wonderful, how wonderful..."

His voice carried a sense of evil, coldness, compassion, and grandeur.

"Judge... those sinners."

Lin Chuan issued an order to the [Weeping Blood Rakshasa] beside him.

"As you command, My Buddha."

The [Weeping Blood Rakshasa] responded respectfully.

Then, the bloody Scale behind it shook again.

"In the name of order!"

"Judge this defiled world!!!"

Clang!!!

An invisible Law power instantly enveloped the entire city.

Some Ghost Controllers of the Black Snake Society, as well as those members of the Black Snake Society's security team... were soon struck by the Law!

On the Scale, their pasts, their sins, and their evils... were all weighed!

After becoming Lin Chuan's kin, the [Weeping Blood Rakshasa] still maintained its obsession as a 'Guardian'.

In its subconscious, it still regarded order and judgment... as the supreme Laws!!

Under the weighing and judgment of the Scale, many Ghost Controllers and security team members didn't even have time to scream before their bodies exploded, turning into puddles of blood.

In just an instant.

Tens of thousands of people were wiped out!

After being weighed by the Scale of the [Fallen Blood Rakshasa], these people were all guilty of serious crimes!!

They had either killed indiscriminately or caused horrific disasters!

Under the Scale, many ordinary civilians and those with lighter crimes were not greatly affected.

The judgment of the [Fallen Blood Rakshasa] left Lin Chuan slightly stunned.

His original plan was only to have the [Weeping Blood Rakshasa] clear out those Ghost Controllers who were putting up a desperate struggle, were extremely fanatical about the [Black Snake Taboo], and were fighting hard against the salvation of the Buddhist Chant.

He hadn't expected the [Weeping Blood Rakshasa] to actually judge and execute all the evildoers within the entire base city.

For Lin Chuan, this was an accidental move.

But for the millions of ordinary people, this was the True God punishing all evildoers! With tears in their eyes, they began to kowtow frantically to Lin Chuan in the sky.

Under the worship of these people, the Power Of Will on Lin Chuan's panel began to grow frantically!

[Congratulations, Master! You have gained a million Fanatic Believers!]

[Obtained Power Of Will +30 million!]

[Obtained Power Of Will +20 million!]

[...]

[Current Power Of Will: 400 million!]

Lin Chuan looked at the data on the panel, his heart completely calm.

But at that moment.

His panel changed once again.

[Attention!!!]

[The Master's Terror Level has been raised to S-Rank Fourth Tier!]

[The panel is about to upgrade...]

[1%... 25%... 100%!!]

[Panel upgrade complete!]

[The Master can currently consume 10 taboo values to evolve directly to S-rank Fifth Tier!]

[Note: 100 million / fear value / Power Of Will = 1 taboo value.]

"taboo values?"

Lin Chuan looked at this new unit of measurement, a thought flashing through his mind.
