Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Back in the day, when the World Honored attained enlightenment for the first time.

The intention was to attain enlightenment using the Three Corpses Cutting Method. At that time, the World Honored cut out the Good and Evil Corpses, but while trying to cut out the Possession Corpse, he was ambushed by the first Rebirth Saint Mother, resulting in a failed enlightenment.

Initially, the Good Corpse of the World Honored resembled the image of an elder monk in a white robe.

Whereas the Evil Corpse of the World Honored was like the black-robed young monk before him.

However, Elder Bai clearly remembered that the Evil Corpse of the World Honored had been turned into nothingness by the Rebirth Saint Mother!

So why has the World Honored Evil Corpse, that had been transformed into nothingness, once again emerged?

Though Elder Bai couldn’t comprehend why the Evil Corpse of the World Honored’s first life appeared,

He could be certain that should Lin Yuan confront the Evil Corpse of the World Honored’s first life head-on, he would surely face certain death.

It was precisely for this reason that Elder Bai urged Lin Yuan to run quickly.

Now, all hopes lay on Lin Yuan running fast enough.

Unfortunately, it was evident that Lin Yuan wouldn’t be able to escape.

Just as Elder Bai’s warning ended, the black-robed young monk took swift strides blocking Lin Yuan’s path.

He employed a technique akin to Shrinking Earth into Inches, moving at incredible speed, leaving no room for reaction.

The black-clothed youth stood before Lin Yuan, smiling at him, just as if he was observing fish on a chopping board.

”Don’t leave, benefactor. I’d like to borrow one thing from you,” the black-robed young monk said with a smile.

”Not borrowing!” Lin Yuan decisively refused.

Without a doubt, Lin Yuan knew that the vile creature was definitely eyeing his head.

”The benefactor is indeed wise. Without me saying, the benefactor already knows what I’m trying to borrow!” The black-robed young monk’s expression grew colder.

With that, the black-robed young monk waved his hand, and a Ring Knife appeared in his grasp: ”Since the benefactor won’t lend, then I will have to take it myself.”

At this moment, cold sweat streamed down Lin Yuan’s forehead, and chills crawled down his spine.

He had a premonition that should the black-robed young monk brandish the knife, he would definitely die.

At that moment, Lin Yuan thought of the divided Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon.

Originally, when he brought the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon and the Twenty-Eight Celestial Kings to the Mysterious World,

The dean had once said that after all Twenty-Eight Celestial Kings died in battle, their energy would return to the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon.

Once all Twenty-Eight Celestial Kings perished, and all energy returned to the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon,

At that moment, the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon could break free from its bonds to reach the Tier Two realm.

In the Tier Two realm, the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon was definitely stronger than ordinary Tier Two experts, such as Manjushri Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva.

Yet, whether it could rival a Tier Two Peak opponent, Lin Yuan was unsure, though most likely it couldn’t.

Lin Yuan was even more uncertain if the Tier Two Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon could match the black-robed young monk right before him.

Given the circumstances and facing imminent doom, he could only rely on a desperate strategy.

Whether the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon could save him, he could only try.

Wait, if the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon could be killed, its energy would again return to him, giving him hope to break through and become a Tier Two expert.

Upon reaching Tier Two, he would fulfill the agreement with the Bronze Sword and Bronze Armor.

Then, he could wield the Bronze Sword and Bronze Armor.

At that time, the black-robed monk before him might not be his match.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan truly saw a glimmer of hope.

Thus, without a moment’s hesitation, Lin Yuan transferred his consciousness to the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon.

Through the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon’s vision, Lin Yuan saw only three Celestial Kings remaining out of the Twenty-Eight.

”Commit suicide!”

With no hesitation, Lin Yuan decisively commanded them to commit suicide.

With the remaining three Celestial Kings committing suicide, their forces returned to the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon.

He only needed to stall a bit longer, allowing the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon to absorb this energy and reach Tier Two.

With that in mind, Lin Yuan decided he had to delay a bit more.

”Fine, you just want to borrow my head, right?”

”I’ll lend it to you!”

”But before lending it to you, I’d like to know why.”

”Can you tell me who you really are?” Lin Yuan attempted to buy time with questions.

”Heh heh heh!” the black-robed young monk laughed sinisterly: ”I know you’re stalling.”

”It’s futile; the more you delay, the more excited I get, and the harder my strikes will be!”

”But if you want to know who I am, it’s no problem.”

”Many old friends are around, perhaps they already recognize me.”

”Indeed, I am the Evil Corpse of the World Honored’s first life.”

Lin Yuan: ”????”

The Evil Corpse of the World Honored’s first life?

Lin Yuan felt his scalp tingle instantaneously.

To know, among the three methods of enlightenment of the World Honored, the Three Corpses Cutting Method was the strongest post-enlightenment.

This implied that the World Honored’s first life was the strongest.

After failing in enlightenment on the first try, he attempted to restore power and, unable to cut the three corpses, settled on devising two other paths of enlightenment.

No wonder the black-robed young monk before Lin Yuan made him feel the threat of death the moment he drew his blade.

Turns out, it was the Evil Corpse of the World Honored’s first body.

After explaining Lin Yuan’s confusion, the black-robed young monk acted to wield the Ring Knife in his hand.

Lin Yuan’s face turned dark, still wanting to delay, hurriedly shouted: ”Wait, I have another question.”

”Heh heh heh!” the black-robed young monk laughed sinisterly: ”I don’t want to answer anymore.”

With that, the Ring Knife slashed toward Lin Yuan.

Seeing he could no longer delay, Lin Yuan could only dodge swiftly.

And at that moment...

”Awooooo!”

A dragon’s roar echoed, as a giant pitch-black dragon emerged from the Silent Sea.

This pitch-black dragon had no pupils; its right eye filled with red flames, left eye with white flames.

The black dragon before him bore no resemblance to the previous Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon.

The originally seven heads vanished, leaving only one.

At this moment, the pitch-black dragon resembled the mythological Candle Dragon.

The transformation of the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon was astonishingly immense.

If it weren’t for Lin Yuan’s trace of soul within the Candle Dragon, he wouldn’t dare recognize it!

”Kid, you have more tricks up your sleeve?”

”But, it’s all futile struggle.”

”Such a trivial worm, might as well slash it too!” the black-robed young monk said.

Indeed, as the Evil Corpse of the World Honored’s first life, even the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon transformed into a Candle Dragon was still but a mere worm to him.

The black-robed young monk being the World Honored’s Evil Corpse, while the dean is the Good Corpse.

In contrast to the genteel dean, the black-robed young monk was excessively irate, resorting to violence at any disagreement.

Upon hearing himself called a ”mere worm,” the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon was infuriated.

The Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon thought to himself, ”When I hadn’t evolved, regarding me with disdain, I could accept.”

After evolving, yet still being looked down upon, then damn it, didn’t I evolve for nothing?
