Horror Resurrection: I Evolve Starting with the Ghost Buddha

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

In just three short days, this desolate land shrouded in gray fog in the Western Continent experienced violent upheaval!

In order to gather the remaining 1000 forbidden points, Lin Chuan activated his own rules to the extreme, launching wave after wave of cleansing across most of the Western Continent!

[Successfully devoured an S-rank, Tier 3 Forbidden Technique, gaining Forbidden Technique Value Reduction +8!]

[Successfully devoured the strange community, gaining Forbidden Value reduction +40!]

[Successfully devoured an SS-rank, sixth-tier forbidden item, gaining a forbidden item value reduction of +100!]

【…】

On the panel, lines of scarlet prompts flooded Lin Chuan's mind like a waterfall.

Finally, after Lin Chuan devoured an S-rank forbidden beast, a notification popped up on the panel that the upgrade conditions had been met!

The current taboo value (including taboo value reduction) is sufficient! (20000/20000)!

[Upgrade requirements met!]

[Should we start the upgrade immediately?]

"upgrade!!"

As soon as Lin Chuan had a thought, all the taboo values ​​and taboo value reductions on the panel were instantly cleared.

Immediately afterwards, the entire sky above the Land of Rebirth on the other side of the world was plunged into absolute darkness without any warning!

Inside the Temple of Rebirth, Lin Chuan's evil Buddha statue began to undergo an extremely terrifying transformation.

In just a few seconds, Lin Chuan completed the upgrade.

Upgrade complete!

[Current terror level: SSS-rank, Tier 6 (High-level Dominator)!]

The core rules have been significantly enhanced!

[Requirement for promotion to SSS-rank 7th tier: Consume 70000 Forbidden Points!]

Seeing the notification on the panel, Lin Chuan was in a great mood.

Although my serial number was not upgraded this time.

But Lin Chuan clearly felt that his rule power had increased several times compared to when he was at the fifth level of SSS rank!

If you add the three forbidden domains and the "forbidden field" that covers the other shore of the Land of Rebirth, even if you face a regular SSS-level eighth-order forbidden... you can confront it head-on!

After the transformation of the Evil Buddha's golden body was completely completed, Lin Chuan manipulated the rules and cast a wisp of his will back onto the East Shengzhou continent.

Because the Kingdom of Rebirth on the Other Shore was uprooted by Lin Chuan and forcibly taken to the Western Continent.

A terrifying sinkhole, spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, appeared on the southern part of the original Dongsheng Continent.

Now, endless seawater has poured in, turning that area into a dark and desolate inland sea.

But on the edge of this turbulent black sea, there stands an ancient, dilapidated, mysterious city, weathered by countless years, stubbornly standing there!

It did not fall into the deep sea as the continent tore apart.

Furthermore, this ancient city is expanding at a terrifying pace towards the surrounding land and sea!

The ancient city is forever shrouded in a layer of leaden gray haze that cannot be dispelled.

Lanterns made of human skin, glowing with eerie green corpse fire, hung on the city wall, swaying strangely in the cold wind.

Lin Chuan's will, anchored by Zhou Kai and others, quietly descended upon the ancient city.

At this moment, Zhou Kai was leaning against a broken wall covered with lividity, breathing heavily.

The dozens of elite demon tamers who were swept into the ancient city with them... have all perished!

Only Zhou Kai, Bai Ling, and Xiao Hong are still barely surviving.

"Cough cough cough..."

Zhou Kai clutched his chest and coughed up a mouthful of black blood mixed with fragments of internal organs.

Half of his body was already highly decomposed, a fatal backlash from the overuse of forbidden power within him.

"This godforsaken place...it seems to have no end..."

Zhou Kai's eyes were bloodshot, revealing a deep sense of despair.

"Space is distorted, and time is warped..."

Bai Ling, who was standing to the side, had a face that was originally cold and aloof, but was now as pale as paper.

She gripped a dagger riddled with nicks tightly, her body trembling uncontrollably.

"We've been stuck on this street...for three whole days!"

"You can't get out... No matter which direction you go, you'll eventually return to where you started!"

Xiao Hong leaned against the corner of the wall. She had already gone blind in one eye, and black pus was flowing from her eye socket.

She gave a bitter laugh, her voice hoarse like a broken bellows.

"It's no use... The rules of this city are too high-level; we simply can't contend with them..."

"We'll all die here... turning into those roaming monsters..."

A sense of despair enveloped the three of them.

In just a few days, three forbidden masters have been reduced to this state... This alone demonstrates the terrifying nature of this ancient city!

Lin Chuan observed his surroundings indifferently through Zhou Kai's perspective.

The three of them were on a street in the city.

The houses on both sides of the street have an extremely bizarre architectural style.

Some were paper-made funeral halls, some were upside-down brothels, and some even had distorted characters written on their door signs that did not belong to human language at all.

Behind these tightly closed doors and windows.

The faint sounds of chewing, scratching, and the mournful laughter of men, women, and children could be heard.

step... step... step...

Just when the three were in despair.

A series of extremely heavy, orderly footsteps, accompanied by the sound of metal scraping, slowly approached from the end of the street.

Upon hearing this sound, Zhou Kai and the other two instantly held their breath, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Extreme fear was evident in their eyes.

Lin Chuan looked in the direction of the sound.

From the hazy mist, a group of "soldiers" dressed in ancient armor appeared.

The soldiers' armor was rusted and covered with black blood and bits of flesh from countless years.

What's most chilling is that there's no human body inside their armor!

Beneath the helmet lay only emptiness and darkness.

The chest armor was filled with countless white corpse worms that were wriggling wildly!

These monsters, composed of corpse worms and tattered armor, wielded rusted bronze halberds.

With stiff, orderly steps, they silently wandered and patrolled the streets.

"They are the ghostly patrols of the ancient city..."

Zhou Kai screamed wildly in his heart, covering his mouth and nose tightly.

Most of their previous companions were killed because they inadvertently revealed their presence as living people.

These seemingly slow-moving ghost soldiers instantly pinned him to the ground with bronze halberds, and then he was devoured by countless corpse worms until he was reduced to a skeleton!

The rules of the patrolling ghost soldiers are extremely domineering; once they "see" you, it's almost certain death.

The procession of ghostly soldiers slowly passed by the broken wall where the three were hiding.

The pungent stench of the corpse almost made the three of them faint.

Fortunately, the stench of corpses clinging to the broken wall barely masked the smell of life on them.

The ghostly army did not linger, but gradually disappeared into the thick fog at the other end of the street.

Zhou Kai and the other two collapsed to the ground with a sigh of relief, greedily inhaling the polluted air.

However, he hadn't even caught his breath yet.

A chilling aura, a thousand or even ten thousand times more terrifying than the patrolling ghost soldiers.

It descended upon this desolate street without warning!
