Horror Resurrection: I Evolve Starting with the Ghost Buddha

"Click click click..."

The sound of machinery turning echoed in the void.

The enormous mechanical phantom finally materialized completely from the void.

Its surface is covered with cracks from the passage of time, surrounded by a dense array of dazzling and mysterious symbols.

Those symbols gleamed with a cold luster, as if they were proclaiming the oldest and most rational truths in the universe.

As it arrived, the surrounding space seemed to freeze, and even the passage of time seemed to slow down.

[WARNING! Detection of a Mysterious Taboo!!]

[Target: SS-Rank Fifth Order Forbidden - Logos (Projection)!]

Its true form is one of the fragments of the 'Shattered God'!

[Projection Terror Level: S-Rank, Tier 2!]

[Forbidden Rule 1: Absolute Imprisonment (Constructing a logical closed loop to block all supernatural phenomena and rules)!]

[Forbidden Rule 2: Mechanical Annihilation (Transforming all things into inorganic matter, erasing life and consciousness)!]

"The Shattered God... fragments?"

Lin Chuan looked at the forbidden projection, which was full of mechanical beauty and destructive aura, through the perspective of the coughing ghost, and felt a slight chill in his heart.

Clearly, this is another extremely terrifying being!

A single S-rank second-tier forbidden technique isn't that terrifying, but this S-rank second-tier forbidden technique is evolved from a fragment of 'God'!!

boom!!!

After the gear projection descended, the lightning eye in the sky could no longer contain itself.

It sensed a strong threat.

Its purple pupils suddenly contracted, and thick beams of lightning, carrying the power of destructive laws, bombarded the gear-like phantom.

Sizzle...!

Wherever the lightning passed, the void trembled slightly, as if annihilating everything.

But the gear projection only rotated slowly for a moment.

Click!

A crisp sound of gears meshing rang out.

hum! ! !

Invisible ripples spread instantly.

Those menacing pillars of lightning, upon contact with the ripples, seemed to have struck an invisible wall.

Then... it stopped!

Yes, it's stalled.

It's like a scene that's been paused.

The raging lightning energy was forcibly frozen in mid-air, neither exploding nor dissipating, just hovering there quietly, as if it had become a lifeless specimen.

"Imprisonment..."

Lin Chuan was momentarily distracted.

From the moment the gears began to turn, he sensed a strange, rhythmic pattern of 'logical closed loop'...

That rhythmic, regulated energy seemed to represent some kind of primal, dark, and terrifying order!

It seems that anything that does not conform to the logical rules of the "gear" will be forcibly denied and imprisoned!

"No...this is impossible!!"

On the helicopter, Dong Zhen's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he saw this scene.

The [Forbidden Lightning] that he considered invincible was actually suppressed?

"Our lord is invincible!!"

"Lightning Punishment! Descend the lightning punishment!!"

He roared frantically, unable to believe or accept it all!

At that moment, the giant gear in the void suddenly began to spin faster!

A cold, deathly gray power of rules surged out from the mechanical phantom, instantly enveloping the entire sky.

Annihilation... is descending!

"Sizzle sizzle..."

The Thunder Eye projection, bound by the rules, suddenly trembled violently.

Its originally dazzling purple lightning began to dim rapidly.

The surrounding vortex of lightning, like a rusty machine, began to rotate slowly and sluggishly.

"Waaaaah!!!"

A painful scream came from Lei's eyes.

The sound was incomprehensible, chaotic, and bizarre, like countless babies crying, or like a group of old people laughing strangely...

Crimson, foul-smelling blood flowed from Lei's eyes!

Its rules are being parsed, dismantled, and transformed into a meaningless data stream, which then becomes part of the red wheel projection!

In just a few seconds.

The enormous lightning eye began to collapse, turning into fragments of broken rules, and was about to be completely devoured by [Logos].

"It's over..."

Dong Zhen collapsed to the ground in despair, his face contorted with the pain of his collapsing faith.

"My Lord... my great Lord!!"

"How did you end up like this!"

"You shouldn't have lost!! You shouldn't have!!"

Dong Zhen roared hysterically, his whole being like a crazed beast, almost losing his mind.

At this time.

Lin Chuan, who had been controlling the "Coughing Ghost Clone," was no longer waiting.

The time to reap the benefits is now!

He controlled the coughing ghost and appeared directly above the collapsing Thunder Eye.

"Cough cough!!"

A violent cough followed.

Lin Chuan's true nature descended instantly through the medium of the "Coughing Ghost Clone"!

boom!!!

A huge, jet-black Buddha hand emerged from the void without warning.

Ignoring the chaotic storm of rules surrounding it, the Buddha's Hand grabbed the disintegrating fragments of lightning, abruptly closed them up, and then devoured them...

[Devouring an S-Rank, Tier 1 Forbidden Projection—Thunder Eye!]

[Forbidden Value Reduction: 0.1!]

When the prompt popped up on the panel, Lin Chuan turned his gaze back to the huge phantom of the crimson wheel.

"Next..."

"It's your turn."

"Let's do it!"

With Lin Chuan's command.

The lurking fallen celestial spirits and the weeping blood demons also appeared at the same time!

"May Buddha be merciful, free from anger and attachment!!"

The fallen vengeful spirit let out a shrill cry, and countless pale white feathers fell like a torrential rain.

Every feather contains rules, and it contains destruction!

"The scales... judgment!!"

Behind the Crying Blood Rakshasa, a crimson scale appeared and tilted, and a terrifying gravitational rule descended! It pressed directly onto the Crimson Wheel projection.

Boom!! Boom!!

Faced with the S-rank second-tier [Blood-Weeping Rakshasa], as well as the coughing ghost clone and fallen vengeful spirit controlled by Lin Chuan, the gears that were merely projections were immediately and completely suppressed.

"Imprisonment... Annihilation..."

The [Logos] projection emits a mechanical whisper, attempting to activate the rules.

But at this moment, it can no longer turn...

Lin Chuan's [Buddha Kingdom in the Palm] had firmly grasped it!

Soon, its projection began to shatter into pieces.

Subsequently, its rules were also completely dismantled.

[Devouring S-Rank, Second-Order Forbidden Projection—Logos!]

[Forbidden Value Reduction: 0.2!]

[Currently required taboo value for upgrading to S-rank Tier 5: 9.7!]

Deep within Lin Chuan's consciousness, a notification popped up on the panel again.

After devouring the two forbidden projections, Lin Chuan, controlling the "Coughing Ghost Clone," projected the "Life-Taking Brahma Sound" rule onto the entire Gear Society base city!

"Namo Amitabha Buddha..."

The Buddhist chants echoed, carrying with them both boundless majesty and allure.

"Lost beings..."

"The sea of ​​suffering is vast; only by turning to my path can one find liberation..."

In an instant, five million Gear Society followers were forcibly converted!

After converting everyone in the Crimson Wheel Society's base city, Lin Chuan manipulated the Coughing Demon and descended upon the Thunder Punishment Hall!

They also unleashed the [Life-Taking Sanskrit Chant]!

In just a moment... millions of people converted!

"May Buddha have mercy!!"

"Greetings, Buddha!!"

"The true Buddha is eternal!!"

Countless frenzied voices echoed.

Deep within Lin Chuan's consciousness, a panel kept popping up notifications:

[Gained +500 million Wishes!]

[Gained +1000 million Wishes!]

【…】

The power of willpower is skyrocketing.

Soon, Lin Chuan converted all his wish power points and gathered 8.5 taboo points!

In addition to the 0.3 points previously reduced.

Just a tiny bit more and Lin Chuan will be able to evolve directly into an S-rank, fifth-tier forbidden being!!

"One more is needed..."

Lin Chuan's gaze fell upon the last remaining force of demon tamers in Qingchuan County—the Senluo Cult.

There, a forbidden sculpture called "Rosen" is enshrined.

Lin Chuan, controlling the coughing ghost clone, led the Blood-Weeping Rakshasa, the Fallen Vengeful Spirit, Dong Zhen, and Wei Jun, directly to the Rosen Society's base city!

There is no suspense.

An hour later.

The Senluo Cult was destroyed.

Lin Chuan swallowed the S-rank, Tier 2 projection of [Rosen Forbidden] in one gulp.

After absorbing the projection of [Rosen Taboo] and reaping the willpower of the survivors in the entire Rosen Society base city, Lin Chuan's taboo value on his panel... has finally reached the required amount!

Inside the Temple of Rebirth, Lin Chuan wasted no time and immediately began the evolution process.

The moment the forbidden value was deducted, his terror level instantly reached S-rank... fifth tier!!!

[Congratulations, Master! Your terror level has been raised to S-rank, Tier 5!]

[Requirement for the next promotion (S-rank, Tier 6): 25 Forbidden Points!]

[Master's current forbidden sequence: 135.]
