Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Chapter 141: Chapter 139: Sanzu River, Nourishment, Damnation, Purification

The awakening sequence of Underworld buildings is: Deceitful Gate, Yellow Springs Road, Stone of Three Lives, Wangxiang Platform, Naihe Bridge, Mythical River...

For Underworld building tattoos, Lin Yuan has only awakened the Yellow Springs Road Tattoo.

By consuming thirty percent of his vitality, he directly skipped over the tattoos for Stone of Three Lives, Wangxiang Platform, and Naihe Bridge, and used the ability of the Mythical River Tattoo.

Mythical River is the river beneath the Naihe Bridge.

This river has many names: Yellow Springs, Naihe, Wangchuan.

However, none of these names are accurate.

The most accurate name is Mythical River.

Because whether it’s called Yellow Springs, Naihe, or Wangchuan.

These names are not comprehensive.

Because Yellow Springs, Naihe, and Wangchuan are just parts of it.

Within the Underworld, there are three water systems.

Naihe is said to be formed by gathered blood, and is the most intense in yin energy, capable of nourishing deceitful souls and evil spirits.

Yellow Springs is a murky yellow soup, reportedly akin to the Ruishui River of heaven, where nothing floats, and anything that enters it becomes trapped, eternally sinking.

Wangchuan’s river water is crystal clear, though beautiful to look at, the moment you touch a drop, you lose your memory, forgetting everything of this life completely.

It’s said that Meng Po Soup is made by boiling the water from Wangchuan River.

The Mythical River beneath Naihe Bridge is called Mythical River because it’s where Yellow Springs, Naihe, and Wangchuan converge.

The convergence of three waters is why it’s called Mythical River.

Even individually, Naihe, Yellow Springs, and Wangchuan are powerful; when their waters converge, the Mythical River’s power is fully maxed out.

The Mother Gu has invincible defense with yin river, Lin Yuan believes that this Mythical River can definitely instantly defeat the yin river.

What class is your yin river?

How could it possibly compare to the Mythical River?

...

...

”Swish.”

”Swish, swish.”

Just as Lin Yuan spoke the word ”possible”, a light sound of flowing water began to echo around.

This sound of flowing water is very soft, like a lullaby played to help a child sleep.

After all, the Mother Gu is a Tier Five Evil Spirit and has a sense of danger.

Although the sound of water is quite pleasant.

Yet it gives the Mother Gu a chilling feeling.

Danger.

Extreme danger.

Every part of the Mother Gu’s body felt an intense sense of danger.

It’s a sense of urgency where life’s hanging by a thread.

The Mother Gu was puzzled, this is her own world!

In her world, she is like a god, she should be able to control everything.

What is it that gives her such an urgent feeling?

The Mother Gu intently looked at Lin Yuan, there was no doubt the dangerous feeling was definitely coming from him.

Before encountering Lin Yuan, she had never felt like this.

”What sound is that?”

”What is this sound?”

”Tell me, what is this sound?” The Mother Gu yelled at Lin Yuan, her eyes wide open like a crazed person.

Lin Yuan shrugged and asked knowingly, ”You mean this sound?”

”Could it be... that it’s raining?”

Just as Lin Yuan finished speaking, the sound of ”滴答” ”滴答” rain began to echo.

Rain droplets started to fall all around, if one were to catch a raindrop and look closely, they would find the raindrops are distinctly three-colored.

At first glance, it’s blood-red, at second glance it’s murky yellow, and at third glance it’s clear and transparent.

Looking at it from different angles, you can see different aspects of the raindrops.

”Impossible?”

”Rain?”

”How could it be raining!”

”It’s impossible to rain?” The Mother Gu seemed somewhat hysterical, she was incredulous.

Indeed, it’s raining in the village outside.

But Lin Yuan is now in the space within the Ancient Well.

Outside, even if knives were raining down, it wouldn’t affect the inside of the well!

This is like sitting indoors and someone telling you it’s raining inside.

Isn’t that nonsense?

However, such a nonsensical thing actually happened.

Within the space of the Ancient Well, it really, truly started to rain, and these three-colored raindrops fell upon the Mother Gu.

This is the world of the Mother Gu, yet Lin Yuan made it rain here.

Undoubtedly, this isn’t a normal rain.

Before this, everything that happened in the space of the Ancient Well was within the Mother Gu’s control.

This three-colored rain made the Mother Gu feel the situation was beyond her control.

The Mother Gu, being extremely cautious, looked at Lin Yuan and said, ”I may not know what your method is, but I know it can’t last.”

”I’m going to hide first, then deal with you later.”

”Little man, I will make you completely obedient.”

”I won’t let you leave, never.”

As the words fell, the Ghost Mother controlled the Yin River to wrap around her, then tried to slip away.

It’s important to know, this Ancient Well space, along with the Deceit Village outside.

These are all Ghost Mother’s deceitful domains; here, if she truly hides, Lin Yuan would indeed have trouble finding her.

The abilities of the Three Path River Tattoo, Lin Yuan cannot utilize continuously!

This ability was granted by Lin Yuan at the cost of depleting thirty percent of his vitality and blood, in exchange for one experience opportunity.

However, the Three Path River did not let Lin Yuan down.

Just at the moment when Ghost Mother attempted to flee, a sound of ”boom,” ”boom, boom” rang out.

This sound was reminiscent of the sound of floodgates opening to release water after full reservoirs during the rainy season.

At this moment, the Ancient Well space suddenly cracked open, and the Three Path River directly poured down.

The position where the Three Path River poured down happened to be where Ghost Mother was, and she was instantly submerged in the Three Path River.

The Three Path River contained the waters of the Nai River, Yellow Springs, and Wangchuan.

Contacting the Yellow Springs water inevitably leads to eternal descent.

After falling into the Three Path River, the Yellow Springs water took effect, no matter how much she struggled or used various methods, she could not break free from the Three Path River.

Next, the Wangchuan water took effect.

Wangchuan water began to purify Ghost Mother’s soul, her eyes started to turn from clear to confused, and finally became clear again.

In the end, it seemed as if Wangchuan water discovered that this body and soul did not match.

So Wangchuan water simply separated Ghost Mother’s soul and continued to purify it.

Perhaps, Ghost Mother’s soul was too filthy.

Wangchuan water purifying Ghost Mother’s soul was like washing soap with water, shrinking smaller and smaller.

In the end, Lin Yuan could clearly feel that Ghost Mother’s soul was almost washed away.

Now, all that remained in Ghost Mother’s soul was the Power of Rules known as ”Creation.”

Ghost Mother was gone!

”Boom!”

After Ghost Mother’s soul was completely purified, the Three Path River suddenly surged into Lin Yuan’s body, causing his body to violently tremble.

In the washing of the Three Path River, Ghost Mother vanished entirely from this world.

Simultaneously, the surrounding deceitful domains began to collapse and disappear.

The vast space beneath the Ancient Well also disappeared, leaving Lin Yuan standing alone beneath a dried-up well, beside him a red coffin adorned with engraved dragons and phoenixes.

Ghost Mother’s icy jade bed was gone, yet her coffin remained.

Lin Yuan reached out to grasp the Power of Rules known as ”Creation,” but upon grasping, found it empty.

This Power of Rules seemed to have merged directly into Lin Yuan’s body as soon as it touched him.

Thereafter, Lin Yuan clearly felt this Power of Rules flowing toward his Zhong Kui Tattoo.

Soon after, the Zhong Kui Tattoo emitted a feeling of heat.

Enough!

It seems that after absorbing the rules powers of the Golden Armor Zombie and Mother-Child Deceitful King, the conditions to awaken the Zhong Kui Tattoo have been met.

The sensation of heat persisted, and Lin Yuan could feel as if the two rules powers belonging to the Golden Armor Zombie and Mother-Child Deceitful King were merging.

When these two rules powers complete their merger, it will be the time for the Zhong Kui Tattoo to awaken.

The Golden Armor Zombie’s ”All Things Subdued” and the Mother-Child Deceitful King’s ”Creation,” both of these rules powers are immensely powerful.

The fusion of two powerful rules powers will surely produce a more dominant force.

Now, just calmly waiting is all that’s needed.

In as few as three to five days, or as many as ten days, the Zhong Kui Tattoo will be fully awakened.

Once the Zhong Kui Tattoo is awakened, Lin Yuan will have the capital to challenge the financial elites.

The Zhong Kui Tattoo might not be the most powerful tattoo.

But at present, it is undoubtedly the strongest.

Because now is the era of Deceitful Invasion 2.0, figures such as True Monarch Erlang, Celestial Lord of Nine Heavens, Thunderous Sound and Universal Transformation, and even the Three Pure Ones, Four Imperials, Maitreya, and Burning Lamp.

These tattoos, while strong, at this current stage of the version, they are at best partially awakened.

At this stage, Lin Yuan has the fully awakened Zhong Kui Tattoo, making him the strongest.

Disregarding these thoughts, Lin Yuan focused his gaze on the corpse of the young concubine.

Lin Yuan embraced the young concubine’s corpse and reached out to test the temperature of her neck.

Alas!

It’s already cold.

After Ghost Mother’s soul was extracted, she completely became a corpse.

Lin Yuan summoned the Soul-Luring Lamp, intending to burn the young concubine’s body.

Such a wonderful young concubine!

Cao Cao liked her, so did I, but unfortunately, young concubine, why did you perish?

His gaze suddenly fell upon the Zhu lacquer coffin adorned with dragons and phoenixes.

This is Ghost Mother’s coffin, now that Ghost Mother is gone, it becomes an ownerless item.

Lin Yuan opened the coffin and suddenly discovered the icy jade bed was unexpectedly laid at the bottom of the coffin.

Lin Yuan placed the young concubine’s body into the coffin, then touched her face and said: ”The truth is, I cherish you a lot; if you weren’t dead, I’d have saved you and tried you out for sure.”

”By the way, you didn’t only die early, you got married early too; if you’d met me sooner, I’d have tried you out long ago!”

”That’s not quite right; if you hadn’t married, being a young lady, I might not have cherished you at all. Alas! Thieves like Cao are indeed an affliction!”

”Some cars drive well when they’re new, some drive best when they’re second-hand!”

Lin Yuan muttered, then pushed the coffin lid up.

At the moment Lin Yuan closed the coffin, a faint red droplet mark appeared on the young concubine’s forehead.

This is....

Nai River water?

And the effect of Nai River water is nourishment?
