Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

"Then let me die!"

"Lose my head, I’ll just have a bowl-sized scar!"

"If you all manage to defeat the World Honored, come let me know at my grave—I’ll have a good laugh about it!" the Golden-Winged Roc said to everyone.

At this moment, the Golden-Winged Roc had come to terms with it.

The other eight attacked together were all dead—only he had survived until now.

He’d already profited by living longer than the others.

And now, in order to kill him, these Outer World People had even resorted to Cause and Effect Treasures.

Since there was no way to escape the fate of death, then so be it—he’d just die!

Everyone looked at each other in helplessness, none able to help the Golden-Winged Roc, making the atmosphere extremely heavy.

There was nothing they could do.

Faced with these Outer World People’s tactics, everyone felt a deep sense of helplessness.

Now it was the Golden-Winged Roc waiting for death—would the next to wait for death be one of them?

"I have an idea!"

Just as everyone was in despair, Lin Yuan spoke up.

"What?"

"You have a way to break a Cause and Effect Treasure?" Elder Bai asked in surprise.

Lin Yuan’s strength was undeniable—even Elder Bai acknowledged that.

However, breaking a Cause and Effect Treasure was not just about strength.

This kind of Qimen Technique required very deep knowledge.

Lin Yuan shook his head honestly. "No, I don’t know the method to break it."

Elder Bai: "????"

Everyone: "????"

When Lin Yuan said he had an idea, the Golden-Winged Roc felt a jolt of hope.

After all, who wants to die if they can live!

But when Lin Yuan said he didn’t know how to break it, the Golden-Winged Roc’s heart sank again.

In just a short time, the Golden-Winged Roc’s mood had been like a roller coaster.

"I’m already about to die, can you not mess with me!" the Golden-Winged Roc said dejectedly to Lin Yuan.

But Lin Yuan really wasn’t joking—he did have an idea.

It’s just that his idea wasn’t to break a Cause and Effect item.

With Cause and Effect Treasures, even someone like Elder Bai, who’d lived for countless years, couldn’t break it. Lin Yuan was even less likely to manage that.

To be honest, he hadn’t even figured out cause and effect himself!

How could he break it?

Besides, Lin Yuan felt that if others cast spells and they were forced to break them, that wasn’t a good solution either.

That would mean getting led around by the nose.

"My plan is simple and direct!"

"We can’t break the Cause and Effect Treasure, true. But—we can kill the caster!"

"Once the caster is dead, isn’t the matter resolved?" Lin Yuan said to the group.

At Lin Yuan’s words, everyone’s eyes lit up.

That’s right!

If you can’t solve the problem, solve the person who caused it.

In the end, the result is the same.

"How do we find the caster’s location?" the Peacock Great Ming King asked.

As soon as he finished, Lin Yuan said, "I have a way."

Lin Yuan couldn’t break a Cause and Effect Treasure, but finding the caster—he could do that.

At this moment, Lin Yuan’s soul already bore the imprint of the entire Underworld system—all the Yin Spirits, buildings, and so forth.

In the palace of King Qin Guang, one of the Ten Yama Kings, stood a tall Stone Mirror.

This Stone Mirror hung to the east, inscribed with the words, "No good man before the Mirror of Evil."

This Stone Mirror was the Mirror of Evil—also called the Karma Mirror.

This Karma Mirror had little combat power, but it specialized in illuminating cause and effect.

If you stand before the Mirror of Evil, any cause and effect entangled with you can be traced to its source.

Lin Yuan planned to shine the Karma Mirror to see where the cause and effect originated.

With this thought, Lin Yuan activated the Tattoo Power on his soul and summoned the Karma Mirror.

Once the Karma Mirror appeared, Lin Yuan had the Golden-Winged Roc stand in front of it.

At this moment, nothing appeared on the Karma Mirror’s surface.

It seemed they’d have to wait.

They would have to wait until the Outer World People cast their spell a second time, then they could trace the cause and effect to find their location.

"Don’t move in front of the mirror. As soon as they use that Cause and Effect item, this mirror will reveal their location."

"It’s up to your luck; as long as this second spell doesn’t take your life, after that, it’s our turn to take theirs!" Lin Yuan said, cheering on the Golden-Winged Roc.

After waiting a bit longer—about the time it took for an incense stick to burn since the Golden-Winged Roc first spat blood—

"Pfft!"

The Golden-Winged Roc spat out blood a second time. As the fresh blood stained the Karma Mirror, an image appeared on its surface.

In the image, four figures appeared—none other than Buddha’s four great disciples.

"Four of them!"

"Their strength is formidable, all much stronger than me," Elder Bai said in a low voice.

After speaking, Elder Bai looked to Lin Yuan and asked, "What’s the plan?"

The Peacock Great Ming King nearby said, "Shall I take people and go?"

Lin Yuan shook his head. "I’ll go!" he said.

"Once they sense us approaching, they may run."

"I can control the Karma Mirror—keep tabs on them at all times. They can’t get away."

Lin Yuan and the Peacock Great Ming King were both top-tier powers; individually, they were stronger than these four Outer World People.

Since Lin Yuan was in charge of pursuit, that left the Peacock Great Ming King to cover defense.

Lin Yuan gave a rough assessment of both sides’ power and calculated how many he’d need to bring along.

"Elder Bai, Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder, you’ll come with me. Also, I need..." Lin Yuan began calling names.

Besides the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder and Elder Bai, Lin Yuan named seven or eight other Tier Two Peak Powerhouses.

With so many people, plus himself, it should be enough to deal with the four Outer World People.

The Black Bear Spirit was left behind by Lin Yuan to look after the Golden-Winged Roc; his combat power wasn’t high among the group, and he moved rather slowly.

His only strength was his defense—just right for standing guard.

The other Tier Two Peak Experts summoned by Lin Yuan had no complaints; when the sky falls, the tallest takes the brunt. With Lin Yuan leading the charge, he would be at the forefront in battle.

"Fellow Daoist Kong, I’ll leave this place to you!" Elder Bai cupped his hands in farewell to Kong Xuan.

Soon after, Lin Yuan took the group and followed the Karma Mirror’s guidance towards Buddha’s four great disciples’ location.

Right now, Buddha’s four great disciples were completely off guard.

They harbored murder in their hearts for the Golden-Winged Roc.

They had to kill the Golden-Winged Roc, clean up Kshatriya’s mess, and shut Demon King Bosun’s mouth.

Their original plan was, after inserting six needles, to deliberately show a flaw on the seventh prick.

That way, not only would they kill the Golden-Winged Roc, but they would also draw out the other Tier Two Peak Powerhouses.

They intended to kill two birds with one stone.

They never expected that, before they could set up their own trap, Lin Yuan had already found their flaw.
