Horror Resurrection: I Evolve Starting with the Ghost Buddha

Moreover, what truly suffocated Zhou Kai was...

From the shadows behind the woman, one after another, eerie figures began to emerge.

The first to emerge were Bai Ling and Xiao Hong.

They were "resurrected" by this ancient city and by this woman in a more twisted and terrifying way!

A stiff, eerie smile graced Bai Ling's exquisitely beautiful face.

Her limbs were twisted in an inhuman arc, following behind the woman in the cheongsam like a marionette.

Countless black tentacles wriggled in the socket of Xiao Hong's blind eye.

Their bodies were a translucent grayish-white color, exuding resentment and deathly stillness.

The appearance of the two women was just the beginning.

With each step the woman in the cheongsam took forward.

In the shadows behind her, a dozen or even dozens of figures would appear!

There were elite demon tamers who had previously followed Zhou Kai into the ancient city.

Some of them were cut in half at the waist, others were left with only half a head, all dragging their broken bodies, silently gathering behind the woman.

Even more terrifying taboos, some of which Zhou Kai had never seen before, emanated S-level or even SS-level rule fluctuations!

A deformed giant ape with three heads, a flesh butcher covered in human eyes...

Densely packed, hundreds and thousands!

They were all beings drawn into the ancient city by the rules!

Now, they have all become puppets controlled by women.

"Bai Ling... Xiao Hong..."

Zhou Kai looked at his former comrades who had fought alongside him, now reduced to such a wretched state, neither human nor ghost.

Extreme fear was replaced by endless anger and resentment at this moment.

"Aaaaaah!!!!"

Zhou Kai's eyes were filled with tears of blood, like a trapped beast driven to the brink of despair, as he let out a mournful roar to the sky.

He is not willing!

He was unwilling to die in this godforsaken place in such an unclear and unjust way, and even after death... he would be eternally enslaved!

boom!!!

Just as Zhou Kai's anger reached its peak.

A muffled roar came again from the void behind him!

The illusory image of the stone tablet, which had completely vanished, solidified in an instant!

A great blue light shone forth.

The broken stele, covered with strange patterns and bloodstains, slowly revealed its true form!

Followed by.

"roar--!!!"

An even more ferocious and awe-inspiring roar erupted from beneath the stone tablet!

The phantom of the giant turtle has descended once more!

And this time, its body was ten times larger!

The outline of that ancient remnant species, with its dragon head, tortoise body, and snake tail, almost burst the entire dark street!

Inside the Temple of Rebirth on the Western Continent.

Lin Chuan's recently calmed emotions were once again stirred by a violent ripple.

"Interesting, interesting, hehehe..."

He keenly noticed it.

This time, the arrival of the phantom of the giant turtle did not rely on the dragon roar rule that came across the sky.

It was entirely driven out by the extreme resentment and anger within Zhou Kai!

"Boom—!!!"

As Lin Chuan pondered, the enormous phantom of the giant tortoise-like beast, carrying an overwhelming aura that seemed to suppress all ages, crashed fiercely into the woman in the cheongsam.

The surrounding space cracked under the force of the blow, collapsing on a large scale.

however.

Faced with this blow that could crush the heavens and the earth, the woman in the cheongsam holding the broken paper umbrella did not retreat in the slightest.

The dark vortex on her face expanded to its limit at this moment, as if it wanted to swallow the whole world into it!

Sizzle—!

The phantom of the giant turtle collided violently with the pitch-black vortex, producing a piercing sound of rules being annihilated.

The moment it came into contact with the vortex, the imposing phantom of the giant tortoise seemed to sink into quagmire, its speed becoming extremely slow.

Immediately afterwards, the enormous body of the giant turtle began to become transparent and illusory at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The power of the rules, suspected to be from a fallen god, is simply too domineering and unsolvable.

Even forbidden items from Kunlun Ruins cannot withstand such rules!

boom!

The stalemate lasted only ten breaths.

The phantom of the giant turtle let out an angry roar and then collapsed once again.

A deep crack appeared on the solid blue stone tablet, which then shrank back behind Zhou Kai.

"puff!!!"

Zhou Kai bled from all seven orifices, his bones were shattered, and he collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud.

His eyes, blurred by blood, revealed endless desolation.

In the end... it still didn't work!!

Tap, tap!

The woman in the cheongsam had already come up in front of him.

That abyss-like vortex face was less than half a meter away from him.

A chilling despair relentlessly devoured Zhou Kai's soul.

Just in the last second before Zhou Kai's consciousness was about to be erased.

"Amitabha……"

A strange yet somewhat familiar Buddhist chanting sounded.

It rang out abruptly in the deathly silent streets of the ancient city!

Om-!

Accompanied by Buddhist chanting.

Suddenly, an extremely dense cloud of blood-red mist rose from the surrounding bluestone slabs.

Followed by.

Under Zhou Kai's incredulous gaze.

A figure, draped in tattered robes and emaciated, slowly emerged from the blood mist.

"Li...Li Shanyuan?!"

Zhou Kai strained to open his eyes wide, his voice hoarse as if two pieces of sandpaper were rubbing together.

The newcomer was none other than Li Shanyuan, who had been brutally dismembered and killed by strangely armored soldiers shortly after entering the ancient city...

But his current state is extremely strange!

He exuded no vitality whatsoever.

Half of his face is that of a compassionate monk, while the other half is that of a ferocious monster.

His eyes were empty and lifeless, yet they gleamed with an extremely eerie, ghostly light.

He has become a taboo!

"You...you're not dead?" Zhou Kai asked, struggling to speak.

Li Shanyuan remained silent.

He simply stepped forward silently and stood between Zhou Kai and the woman in the cheongsam.

Followed by.

A terrifying scene unfolded!

With the appearance of Li Shanyuan.

Behind the street, squads of armored soldiers appeared!

Then, under Li Shanyuan's control, these strange soldiers surged forward like a tide.

With their rusty weapons and broken bodies, they stood firmly in front of the woman in the cheongsam.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The armored soldiers and the "Bai Ling" and others behind the woman in the cheongsam instantly clashed.

Although it was only for a moment, countless armored soldiers fell.

But their numbers are so vast, they seem endless.

It even temporarily stopped the woman in the cheongsam from walking!

"Walk."

Li Shanyuan let out a hoarse, inhuman growl.

He grabbed the limp Zhou Kai and flashed away.

He smashed open the door of an old wooden building next door and rushed inside.

boom!

The wooden door slammed shut, shutting out most of the terrifying sounds of fighting from the outside world.

Inside, it was pitch black and filled with a strong stench of decay.

Li Shanyuan threw Zhou Kai to the ground, then collapsed to the side, panting heavily.

"What... what exactly is going on?"

Despite the excruciating pain, Zhou Kai stared intently at his former companion, who was neither human nor monster.

A complex, bitter smile appeared on Li Shanyuan's half-human, half-ghost face.

"It's a long story."

"I am already dead..."

His voice was ethereal and eerie, as if it came from another dimension.

"But my will remains, and it has merged with the 'forbidden thoughts' within me."

"And at the moment of my death, my will, my 'forbidden thoughts'... merged with this city once again!"

"I am now considered part of this city."

Upon hearing this...

Zhou Kai wasn't the only one stunned.

Lin Chuan, far away on the Western Continent, also felt a sense of surprise.

He clearly perceived this by "spying" on the rules.

Li Shanyuan's current terrifying level is only SS-level, first tier!

Such beings are nothing more than ants before the cheongsam-clad woman who appears to be a fallen god.

But he was able to control some of the strange armored soldiers in this ancient city!

"I used the rules of the merged ancient city to temporarily sever the woman's perception of this area."

Li Shanyuan's voice grew increasingly weak.

"But... I can't take you away from here."

"I can't leave myself."

A flicker of despair crossed his empty eyes.

"The rules in this city are too vast and too distorted."

"What I've integrated is just the tip of the iceberg of the ancient city."

"Unless... I can completely take control of this ancient city."

"Otherwise, you and I... will both be trapped here forever."

Complete control of the entire ancient city?

Zhou Kai's heart sank to the bottom once again.
