Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

The World Honored nodded and raised his hand, revealing a rift in the space ahead.

Beyond the rift, there was a pool shining with golden light.

The water in the pool was crystal clear, with a layer of gold, agate, pearls, and glaze covering the bottom...

When Bai Ze saw this pool, his eyes couldn’t help but light up.

Without a doubt, the pool before them was the legendary Eight Treasures Rebirth Pool.

Buddha does not bless those without fate.

These monks are indeed cunning and wealthy!

”Enter the pool, and I will help you restore your foundation!” The World Honored waved his hand and a golden light carried Bai Ze, Xiang Liu, and Chongming Bird into the Eight Treasures Rebirth Pool.

Even after entering the Eight Treasures Rebirth Pool, Bai Ze and the others’ heads were still buzzing!

A pleasant surprise.

This was purely a pleasant surprise!

Originally, today’s ordeal had made them abandon their thoughts of entering the Eight Treasures Rebirth Pool.

They didn’t even dare mention it to the World Honored.

Who knew, before they could bring it up, the World Honored proactively sent them into the Eight Treasures Rebirth Pool.

Once inside the Eight Treasures Rebirth Pool, Bai Ze and the others felt a surge of energy pouring into their bodies.

Their injuries were recovering at a visibly fast pace.

Even their nearly irreparable foundations were slowly being restored.

The World Honored allowed Bai Ze and the others to use the Eight Treasures Rebirth Pool to win them over and make them wholeheartedly work for him.

As it turned out, this was very effective.

Previously, the World Honored had struck the three of them, which was like hitting them with a stick.

Now, allowing them to enter the Eight Treasures Rebirth Pool was like giving them a sweet date.

This method of combining authority with kindness made Bai Ze and the others both respectful and fearful of the World Honored.

When Bai Ze, Xiang Liu, and Chongming Bird emerged from the Eight Treasures Rebirth Pool, the World Honored silently turned and left.

Today, the defection of Peacock Great Ming King had intensified the World Honored’s urgency for enlightenment.

He must quickly attain enlightenment, for only then can he fully suppress this world.

To suppress, as one must with unruly individuals like the Peacock Great Ming King.

...

...

On the other side, the Peacock Great Ming King had just returned to his domain.

He received a message from Elder Bai and others, asking him to quickly go to the East Sea.

The Peacock Great Ming King did not hesitate and went directly to the East Sea.

”Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan’s defection today has caused quite a stir!” Elder Bai said with a smile upon seeing Kong Xuan.

The Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder also agreed beside him, ”The World Honored did not forcibly act to keep Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan, and the outside rumors that the World Honored is strong on the outside but soft on the inside, not as strong as imagined.”

”Indeed, you are a true hero of our Bird Race,” the Golden-Winged Roc did not hold back his praise.

However, the Peacock Great Ming King didn’t care for these praises. What he cared about was why Elder Bai called him here.

”I wonder, why did Fellow Daoist Bai ask me to come here at this time?” the Peacock Great Ming King inquired.

”Alas!” Elder Bai sighed heavily, looking up at the sky, ”The World Honored’s enlightenment is imminent.”

Upon seeing this, everyone’s complexion changed dramatically.

Obviously, Elder Bai hadn’t shared this insight with the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder, nor the Golden-Winged Roc.

”How did Fellow Daoist Bai come to know?” the Peacock Great Ming King eagerly asked.

Elder Bai pondered for a moment and replied, ”Just a guess!”

”By rights, given your defection today, the World Honored would surely have intervened to stop you. Despite being in the Sect’s headquarters, if the World Honored were determined to stop you, you would be unable to escape.”

”He has the power to take you down; it comes down to what price he would pay.”

”Having the power to capture you and yet not acting, what does this indicate?”

”Firstly, it shows he doesn’t want to get involved in cause and effect at this time. Secondly, he’s confident he can capture you soon with minimal cost.”

”I infer that he’s about to attain enlightenment.”

The World Honored attaining enlightenment is, in fact, unsurprising.

By all rights, the World Honored should have attained enlightenment long ago.

However, the first opportunity for enlightenment was destroyed by the Rebirth Saint Mother.

The second opportunity for enlightenment was destroyed by Lin Yuan.

This time is the World Honored’s third attempt at enlightenment.

Third time’s the charm; if the World Honored fails again, he won’t have another chance in this lifetime.

After listening to Elder Bai, the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder asked solemnly, ”When does Elder Bai believe the World Honored will attain enlightenment?”

Elder Bai is not the worm inside the World Honored’s stomach, so naturally, he doesn’t know the exact timing of enlightenment.

However, Elder Bai still calculated an approximate time, saying, ”Three to five years, although it might be sooner.”

When the World Honored attains enlightenment, it will be the time of the final battle.

Originally, the Peacock Great Ming King did not intend to involve himself in this battle.

However, things have happened one after another, forcing him into this war.

Now, even if he wishes not to participate, he has no choice.

Given this, he might as well fight.

However, before all this, he needs to settle his daughter, Kong Mengmeng.

After discussions with Elder Bai and the others, Kong Xuan hurried back to his domain and asked Kong Mengmeng to go to the Real World.

Now that he has openly opposed the World Honored, it is unsafe for Kong Mengmeng to remain at the domain.

The Real World is not within the World Honored’s sphere of influence, making it indeed the safest place for Kong Mengmeng.

Upon learning her father allowed her to go to the Real World, Kong Mengmeng was overjoyed, hugging Kong Xuan tightly and kissing him twice.

The Real World is Lin Yuan’s territory; once there, she can be with Lin Yuan day and night.

Moreover, Kong Mengmeng in the Real World’s Five-Colored Lake is close to Lin Yuan’s Peng City, enabling frequent visits to see Lin Yuan.

...

...

The Real World.

At this moment, the Real World is not at peace either.

The plague created by the Medicine King Buddha’s avatar is intensifying.

Gourmands are insatiable and endlessly multiplying.

Even with daily modifications to the Gourmands and continuously sending them to the World Honored’s territory, they are still countless.

The Medicine King Buddha’s avatar initially created seven types of plagues, yet the other six hardly manifested.

Only these Gourmands came wave after wave, batch after batch.

If not for the nine Giant Cities in Dragon Country protected by the Anti-Avoidance Pearl, Dragon Country would have suffered by now.

Despite the temporary safety of the nine Giant Cities, Dragon Country’s leadership is seeking solutions to eliminate these Gourmands.

With their numbers rising and growing in strength, Dragon Country, although currently secure, is not guaranteed long-term safety.

Relying solely on the Dean’s laboratory to modify Gourmands and Lin Yuan to deploy them to the World Honored’s territory, is like using a cup of water to hold back a cart of firewood.
