Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

The Peacock Great Ming King was hesitating about why this Xi Huang had stepped in to save him.

The conversation between Xi Huang and the Demon Lord continued.

”I am here to ask the Demon Lord to spare this person’s life.”

”How about the Wa Huang Palace owing the Demon Lord a favor?” Xi Huang negotiated with the Demon Lord.

Xi Huang’s strength was ultimately not as great as the Demon Lord’s. To truly snatch someone from the Demon Lord’s grasp was beyond his ability.

Upon hearing Xi Huang’s words, the Demon Lord frowned and asked in a deep voice, ”Xi Huang, you have no relation to this kid, so why plead on his behalf?”

”Do you know that the debt of favor is the hardest to repay?”

”Can you represent Wa Huang in this favor?”

The Four Great Primordial Spirits stand equally, and Xi Huang represents Wa Huang’s Palace in owing this favor, which Wa Huang will have to repay in the future.

In the eyes of the Demon Lord, the life of the Peacock Great Ming King wasn’t as important as Wa Huang’s favor.

Using Wa Huang’s favor to exchange for the life of the Peacock Great Ming King was very worthwhile for him.

Seeing the Demon Lord was willing to yield and had the intention to spare the Peacock Great Ming King, Xi Huang quickly said, ”I am of the same roots with Wa Huang, so naturally I can make decisions for her.”

What Xi Huang meant by being of the same roots wasn’t that he and Wa Huang were born from the same mother.

Primordial Spirits were born from the Void, and if anyone were to be considered their mother, then the Void would be their mother.

Other Primordial Spirits were born individually in the Void.

Wa Huang and Xi Huang, however, were born together in the Void in a manner similar to a Yin-Yang Tai Chi Fish.

This is what Xi Huang means by ”of the same roots.”

Xi Huang stated it quite clearly, and the Demon Lord felt that Xi Huang wouldn’t dare renege on it.

At that time, if Xi Huang were to reverse his decision, the Demon Lord wouldn’t hesitate to settle accounts with Xi Huang then.

Thinking of this, the Demon Lord was about to agree, but suddenly thought of something and asked, ”Xi Huang, do you perhaps have some connection with this kid?”

”Going to such lengths to save him?”

Xi Huang didn’t hide anything and truthfully replied, ”To be honest with the Demon Lord, this kid has already agreed to join my Wa Huang Palace. Naturally, when one of my disciples is in trouble, I must step in to help.”

As he spoke, the clay token he had given to the Peacock Great Ming King previously flew out from the Peacock Great Ming King’s arms.

”If the Demon Lord doesn’t believe me, you can take this token as proof.” Xi Huang said, handing the token to the Demon Lord.

What Xi Huang meant was that he wanted to prove the Peacock Great Ming King was a member of his Wa Huang Palace.

In doing so, he hoped the Demon Lord would spare the Peacock Great Ming King for Wa Huang’s sake.

However, Xi Huang arrived late and wasn’t aware of the previous events that had taken place.

Not long before, the Peacock Great Ming King would rather die than pledge allegiance to the Demon Lord!

The Demon Lord suddenly erupted with fury.

The Demon Lord thought to himself, this person would rather die than join him but instead pledged allegiance to Wa Huang.

Could it be that he considered Wa Huang superior to him?

The more he thought about it, the more intense the Demon Lord’s anger grew.

”Bang!”

The Demon Lord crushed the clay token into powder, coldly saying, ”This man killed my subordinate, Great Demon King Bosun. There’s no way he can be spared.”

”Even if Xi Huang came, it wouldn’t make any difference if Wa Huang came personally either.”

Xi Huang: ”?????”

Xi Huang wore a perplexed look, unaware that his good intentions had backfired.

He just wondered why the Demon Lord was so changeable.

He had seemed agreeable just moments ago, so why had he changed his mind so quickly?

”Demon Lord, what does this mean?”

”Let’s discuss this further; what price would secure this person’s safety.....” Xi Huang was still unwilling to give up.

Being pestered repeatedly by Xi Huang, the Demon Lord grew somewhat annoyed.

”Stop being noisy; this guy needs to pay with his life for the Demon King Bosun.” The Demon Lord’s tone was icy, clearly out of patience.

In the next moment, the Demon Lord made a move against the Peacock Great Ming King.

A giant hand composed of black sand bypassed Xi Huang and reached for the Peacock Great Ming King.

If this grasp took hold, it would instantly crush the Peacock Great Ming King, shattering his soul.

Seeing this, Xi Huang felt helpless and had to step in to protect the Peacock Great Ming King.

With Xi Huang’s intervention, an Innate Eight Trigrams appeared above the Peacock Great Ming King, temporarily blocking the black giant hand.

At this point, Xi Huang dared to act, and the Demon Lord was enraged.

”Xi Huang, you really have no regard for face.”

”I give Wa Huang respect and won’t hold it against you, but you really think you’re something?” The Demon Lord angrily retorted.

Even though Xi Huang and Wa Huang were born together, their strengths differed greatly.

Wa Huang’s power rivaled both the Demon Lord and the Buddha, whereas Xi Huang’s strength fell far short.

Maybe it’s because when they were born together, Wa Huang absorbed all the energy from the Void, leading to Xi Huang’s underdevelopment.

It’s apparent that Xi Huang holds the Peacock Great Ming King in high regard.

Even when facing the Demon Lord directly, he was still unwilling to give up on the Peacock Great Ming King.

”This person is my Wa Huang Palace’s disciple, Demon Lord, you cannot kill him.” Xi Huang said through gritted teeth.

”Humph!” The Demon Lord snorted coldly, ”Your Wa Huang Palace disciple’s life is worth saving, but what about my disciple’s life?”

”Bosun is already dead, Demon Lord; even if you kill him, can Bosun be resurrected?”

”Whatever compensation the Demon Lord desires, speak openly; our Wa Huang Palace will certainly strive to fulfill it.” Xi Huang once again softens his stance.

Unfortunately, his soft words had no effect.

”I want nothing but this kid’s life.” With that, the Demon Lord intensified his attack, and the Innate Eight Trigrams began to crumble under the black giant hand.

At the same time, Xi Huang’s mouth was also oozing blood, showing the immense pressure he was under.

”Bang!”

With a loud bang, the Innate Eight Trigrams cracked completely, just as the Peacock Great Ming King was about to perish, a blue flag blocked the lethal strike.

Then, appearing before them was an equally grand, majestic figure wearing a blue divine robe and crown.

Without doubt, this was Wa Huang, the only female figure among the Four Great Primordial Spirits.

”Demon Lord, why the anger?” The woman’s tone was gentle, smiling as she spoke.

”This person killed my subordinate, Great Demon King Bosun, today. I must kill him.”

”Wa Huang, it would be best if you didn’t interfere!” The Demon Lord said coldly, his intent to kill unabated.

Likewise, Wa Huang stood firm with her brother Xi Huang, siding against the Demon Lord.

”He is already a disciple of my Wa Huang Palace; it wouldn’t do to stand by and let you kill him.”

”In that case, I’ll take on this karma for him. Name your terms and let’s settle it.” Wa Huang said calmly.

Wa Huang spoke personally, and by all rights, the Demon Lord should give her some face.

However, the Demon Lord was burning with rage and refused to give anyone face.

This Peacock Great Ming King, he must kill.
