49: Chapter 49 In the far reaches of the world, faith begins to spread.

Sensing the wisps of constantly spreading distorted rules, horror filled both of their faces.

"Retreat!! Retreat quickly!!"

"Don't look at those eyes!!"

Bai Ling shouted sternly, warning the subordinates around her.

At this moment, Lin Chuan had already noticed those "eyeballs" spreading everywhere.

These "eyeballs" were chaotic objects formed after rules distorted reality.

In the next second, Lin Chuan activated the [Teleportation] rule.

Almost instantly, his evil buddha golden body descended upon the northernmost edge of the Taboo Domain Field.

Rumble!!!

Following his descent.

The [Rebirth Domain], which had been constantly bombarded by rules, stabilized immediately.

Lin Chuan's true body sat steadily in the Void Realm. Various taboo rules centered around him, surging out like a torrential tide, crashing against the Void Realm and striking out in all directions!!

In an instant, a rolling sea of blood hung upside down from the firmament, and countless hideous Ghost Shadows roared within it.

Throughout heaven and earth, sinister buddha chants echoed, as if the entire world were about to transform into a blood-colored buddha land!

"amitabha buddha..."

"You... have crossed the line!!"

Lin Chuan issued a warning toward the source of those "eyeballs."

Boom!!!

At the same time, the various rule powers he controlled slammed violently into that frantically expanding forest of eyeballs.

Crack!!

Countless eyeballs burst under the influence of Lin Chuan's rules, turning into puddles of multicolored slime.

The massive tentacle rooted deep in the earth also seemed to take a heavy hit; it trembled violently and stopped its expansion.

But... it was only a stop.

It did not retreat; instead, it emitted an even more dangerous and profound rule fluctuation.

[Warning! High-risk taboo reaction detected!]

[Target: SS-rank second order taboo — forest of a thousand eyes (one root system)!]

[Source: Chaos Void Realm — Lord of the Thousand Eye Domain!]

[Root system Terror Level: S-rank Fifth Tier!]

[taboo Rule 1: Universal Assimilation (Wherever it passes, all things are transformed into Forbidden Eyes)!]

[taboo Rule 2: Truth Recording (Everything observed by the Forbidden Eyes will be analyzed, recorded, and eventually become a part of it)!]

"SS-rank second order taboo?!"

"Just one root system is equivalent to an S-rank Fifth Tier taboo?!"

Lin Chuan looked at the information on the panel, his heart slightly shaken.

Compared to the [Black Snake Taboo], the 'forest of a thousand eyes' taboo before him... was clearly much more terrifying!!

Through those brilliant eyeballs.

Lin Chuan even faintly saw the birth and death of the Universe, the flip side of truth, and... endless chaos and madness!

Puchi! Puchi!

Just then.

From the remains of those burst eyeballs, strange-shaped things suddenly crawled out.

There were eyeballs with wings, lumps of flesh covered in eyes, and invisible entities composed entirely of light.

These were all abnormalities!

Thousands of abnormalities were born from those eyeballs, then roared and charged toward Lin Chuan's [Rebirth Domain].

"So that's how it is..."

Watching this scene, Lin Chuan suddenly had a moment of realization.

The so-called abnormalities.

Are actually products evolved from incomplete taboo rules.

They are like dander or hair falling off a taboo... and the higher the rank of the taboo, the more powerful and terrifying the abnormalities that fall from it!!

Facing those F-rank and E-rank abnormalities, Lin Chuan didn't pay them any mind.

He directly activated his taboo rule — Buddha Kingdom in the Palm!

Boom boom boom!!!

A massive buddha hand descended from the sky, instantly suppressing those newly born abnormalities!

Immediately after, these abnormalities all became nourishment for Lin Chuan.

Although devouring F-rank or even E-rank entities no longer held much significance for Lin Chuan.

But even a mosquito's leg is meat.

Still, millions of low-level abnormalities reduced the taboo value required for Lin Chuan's evolution by 0.001 points.

As Lin Chuan's taboo rules continued to release, the "eyeball" forest was soon firmly suppressed in the area north of Rebirth City, making it completely unable to advance even an inch.

But Lin Chuan's mood did not lighten.

Although he blocked the root expansion of the [forest of a thousand eyes] taboo, he could not completely suppress it.

Primarily because the opponent wasn't an ordinary S-rank Fifth Tier taboo, but the root system of an SS-rank second order taboo!

The most troublesome part was that this thing was like a time bomb, liable to explode at any moment and cause an even more terrible disaster.

"It seems I must speed up my evolution!!"

"Otherwise, once the true body behind this thing descends, or more root systems extend over..."

"I'm afraid I'll have to take my Believers and run."

Just as Lin Chuan was thinking.

Suddenly.

A series of prompts popped up on his panel again.

[Obtained Power Of Will +5,000!]

[Obtained Power Of Will +10,000!]

[Obtained Power Of Will +50,000!]

...Within just a few minutes.

Over a million Power Of Will had appeared out of thin air on the panel!

"Hmm?"

Lin Chuan was slightly stunned.

He had just harvested a wave of Power Of Will from the Believers in Rebirth City, and it was currently in a "cooldown period," so it was impossible to produce such a large amount of Power Of Will.

Soon, Lin Chuan sensed the source of this Power Of Will.

He heard the prayers of unfamiliar Believers from far away.

Through the perspectives of these Believers, he saw a familiar figure... Northern Evil!

At this moment, Northern Evil was standing on a high altar.

He held a black umbrella, his cassock fluttering, with a fanatical and pious expression on his face.

Before him stood a black Buddha statue fifty meters tall.

Although the Buddha statue was somewhat crudely carved, one could vaguely see... it was in the likeness of Lin Chuan!

"O Great Buddha of Rebirth..."

"Please guide your Believers in the sea of suffering..."

"Please lead us to find liberation and ascend to the Pure Land!!"

"na mo the Supreme... Buddha of Rebirth!!"

Northern Evil pressed his palms together and prayed respectfully toward the Buddha statue.

As his voice echoed, the many Believers below also shouted in unison.

"na mo the Supreme Buddha of Rebirth!!"

The waves of sound rolled, soaring into the clouds.

Lin Chuan observed the surroundings through the perspectives of the Believers.

He discovered that this was actually a newly emerging Base City built upon ruins!

Although crude, the population of the entire Base City had reached a staggering two hundred thousand!

Moreover... this was clearly not within the territory of Yanmang Province!

Yanmang Province had no high mountains; the terrain was mostly hills and plains.

Here, the mountain ridges were like coiled Dragons, with layered rocks and peaks stretching endlessly... Looking at this Base City under Northern Evil's Control, Lin Chuan felt some surprise, but even more joy.

This not only meant an additional source of Power Of Will.

It also meant that his faith had already extended to further and more vast places... Most crucially, Lin Chuan also discovered that under Northern Evil's guidance and the worship of two hundred thousand Believers... that crude Buddha statue had actually formed a certain rule connection with himself!

That Buddha statue had become a medium, allowing some of Lin Chuan's rules to even descend directly into that area through the Buddha statue!

Although Lin Chuan could also use Believers as mediums to let his own rules descend.

However, using Believers as mediums meant the rules Lin Chuan could project would be affected by the strength of the Believers themselves.

Yet that Buddha statue could carry about 50% of Lin Chuan's rule power!!

One must know, Lin Chuan was now an s-class fourth tier taboo!

Even an A-rank Fallen Heaven Resentful Spirit... would be unable to withstand 50% of his taboo rule power!

Thinking of this, Lin Chuan gave it a try.

A massive rule power, using that crude Buddha statue as an anchor, suddenly descended into it!

Boom!!!

The originally lifeless Buddha statue immediately erupted with a dazzling black light.

A sacred yet evil aura instantly enveloped the Base City under Northern Evil's Control.

"A miracle!!"

"The Buddha has manifested!!"

Seeing the change in the Buddha statue, the three hundred thousand Believers in the Base City were in an uproar.

Northern Evil was so excited that tears streamed down his face as he kowtowed heavily on the ground.

"My Buddha!!"

"It is truly My Buddha's manifestation!"

"My Buddha is above, My Buddha is immortal!!"
