Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Guess where they might be headed now?

As soon as the Buddha posed this question, the Demon Lord was taken aback.

Although the Demon Lord tends to act rashly, he is by no means a fool.

The Buddha was almost spelling it out, and if he still couldn’t grasp the Buddha’s meaning, he would truly be earning the title of a useless teammate.

Startled, the Demon Lord quickly pieced together what the Buddha was implying.

He tentatively asked, ”Are you suggesting that after burning down the Great Burial Heaven Temple, they are likely heading towards my Great Demon God Palace?”

The Great Burial Heaven Temple has already been razed, now it’s nothing but ruins.

This time, Wa Huang’s Palace had no involvement in the assault against the Void Race.

Furthermore, with Wa Huang sitting firmly within Wa Huang’s Palace, any move by the Void Race against Wa Huang’s Palace would be akin to walking into a trap.

Since the Void Race’s next target isn’t Wa Huang’s Palace, the only remaining option is the Demon Lord’s Great Demon God Palace.

This operation against the Void Race was a collaborative action between the Buddha and the Demon Lord.

The Buddha sent out his main forces, and naturally, the Demon Lord also went all out.

In other words, the Great Burial Heaven Temple is left defenseless, and the Great Demon God Palace is similarly ill-guarded.

Since the Void Race succeeded in their surprise attack on the Great Burial Heaven Temple, they are likely to achieve similar results attacking the Great Demon God Palace.

Upon realizing this, the Demon Lord grew noticeably uneasy.

The main forces under the Demon Lord have been deployed, leaving behind only minor characters at the Great Demon God Palace.

Truth be told, the Demon Lord wouldn’t be too bothered if these minor characters perished.

However, if his Great Demon God Palace is burned down like the Buddha’s Great Burial Heaven Temple, it would spell disaster for him.

According to the Buddha, a third of the Great Burial Heaven Temple was reduced to void, not only requiring extensive efforts to repair but also consuming a vast amount of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Compared to the Buddha, the Demon Lord isn’t as wealthy, so the potential loss of the Great Demon God Palace truly worried him.

”What do you mean?”

”Are we retreating now?” the Demon Lord asked the Buddha.

Truthfully, when he posed this question, the Demon Lord was already inclined to turn back and offer help.

Gazing at the scant remnants of the Void Race on the battlefield below, the Buddha softly asserted, ”Let’s retreat. We cannot wipe them out entirely.”

”After all, the Void Race, being natives, are under the protection of the void. Exterminating them would entail immense karmic consequences.”

”The Void Race is inconsequential, but the Yin Celestial Son who colludes with them is watching us like a hawk!”

It must be said that the Buddha is indeed a master of calculation.

Moreover, his strategic mind is extraordinarily deep.

Even though his Great Burial Heaven Temple was razed, he remained calm and composed.

He never lost his cool, nor did his face show much anger.

This clearly indicates that the Buddha is truly difficult to deal with.

It was the Great Burial Heaven Temple that had been burned, not the Great Demon God Palace.

They’ve already gained sufficient rewards from this operation!

And besides, it’s the Buddha who suffered losses, not the Demon Lord.

With the Buddha wanting to retreat, the Demon Lord naturally welcomed the idea.

”In that case, let’s retreat!” the Demon Lord nodded in agreement.

After the Demon Lord and the Buddha reached an understanding, soon after, the sound of bells rang out all around.

As the saying goes, when the bells ring, it’s time to withdraw troops.

Not only is this how it works on the battlefield, but also for the Demon Lord, the Buddha, and their followers.

With the sound of the bells, although the disciples of the Demon Lord and the Buddha were puzzled, they dared not disobey orders.

Soon, the disciples of the Demon Lord and the Buddha jointly withdrew from the battlefield.

Once they retreated, the Void Race who had been driven to desperation finally managed to catch a breather.

Though puzzled by why the Buddha and Demon Lord suddenly withdrew their troops.

Nevertheless, this came as a relief for the Void Race.

Had the fighting continued at the previous pace, it wouldn’t have been long before the Void Race was exterminated.

Soon, the Demon Lord and the Buddha led their disciples respectively back to their bases.

This time, they did not retreat together.

Firstly, their bases are not located in the same direction, making it inconvenient.

The different routes were one reason, another reason was the lack of necessity.

With both the Buddha and the Demon Lord, Tier One Powerhouses, leading the way, they have no fear of an ambush.

The Void Race was able to launch a surprise attack on the Great Burial Heaven Temple because its defenses were lacking.

Now, with the retreating troop led by the Buddha and the Demon Lord personally, any attempt at ambushing by the Void Race would be suicidal.

Meanwhile.

A great army of the Void Race, led by their emissary, quietly lurked along the Buddha and their troops’ path for an ambush.

The Void Race emissary received tactical guidance from Lin Yuan. They first surrounded Wei to rescue Zhao, forcing the Buddha’s disciples to return.

Then, they executed the strategy of Surround the Point and Attack the Reinforcements.

As the saying goes, injuring ten fingers is not as effective as severing one.

Thus, the target for the Void Race emissary’s strategy was the Buddha.

The target for Surround the Point and Attack the Reinforcements remained the Buddha.

Tormented by the Four Great Primordial Spirits for so long, the Void Race conducted thorough studies on the Buddha and Demon Lord.

While the Demon Lord appears vicious and formidable.

In truth, the real danger lies not with the Demon Lord but with the Buddha.

It certainly echoes the saying that a biting dog doesn’t bark.

The Buddha and his disciples strike hardest and most viciously.

Eliminating them first would yield the greatest benefit to the Void Race.

Having realized all this clearly, the Void Race made such a choice.

Following a recent overwhelming victory, coupled with burning down a third of the Great Burial Heaven Temple to ashes.

Therefore, the Void Race was in high spirits.

Hidden in the shadows, each one of them was poised to strike, waiting for the Buddha’s disciples to return so they could catch them off guard.

Unknown to the Void Race hiding, passing through later won’t just be the Buddha’s disciples.

But also the Buddha himself who hides in the dark leading the team.

Their ambush isn’t as straightforward as imagined.

Although the Void Race troops weren’t as weak as first thought.

But without top-tier warriors, they can’t handle the Buddha.

Should the Buddha become enraged and seriously engage them, they’d likely face annihilation.

Nevertheless, upon further reflection, doesn’t the Void Race indeed have a Tier One expert to rely on against the Buddha?

Absolutely!

Strictly speaking, they do have one.

The Void Race allied with Lin Yuan, making them allies.

In that sense, Lin Yuan’s backing is effectively the Void Race’s backing!

No doubt, the Void Race’s Tier One expert is the Yin Celestial Son.

The most crucial point is that these newly emerged Void Race members all contain the Six Paths of Reincarnation Mark of the Yin Celestial Son.

Through these Six Paths of Reincarnation Marks, the Yin Celestial Son can always monitor the actions on the Void side.

This time, will the Yin Celestial Son intervene?
