Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

"Kid, you’ve got some real skill!"

"No wonder you could inherit from the Human King!"

"In that case, if I give it my all, it won’t be bullying the weak!" Xi Emperor shouted towards Lin Yuan.

From Xi Emperor’s words, it was clear that he now regarded Lin Yuan as an opponent of equal rank.

Upon hearing Xi Emperor’s words, Lin Yuan’s heart couldn’t help but tremble a bit.

"Without exerting all his strength, he’s already far superior to the Kshatriyas, Brahma and the others."

"If he goes all out, wouldn’t he regard them as ants?" Lin Yuan thought to himself.

As the words fell, Xi Emperor no longer held back and continued to cast his spells.

In the clay waterfall, the speed at which the invisible giant hand kneaded stepped up.

Under the kneading of this invisible hand, successive clay tigers, clay tortoises, and clay birds soared into the sky.

After flying out of the clay waterfall, the clay tiger, clay tortoise, and clay bird instantly transformed into flesh and blood.

They were none other than the Divine Beasts: White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermillion Bird.

Adding the majestic Azure Dragon previously created, the Four Symbols Divine Beasts were now completed.

Crafting the Four Symbols Divine Beasts by hand?

This ability, in terms of shock value, is no less impressive than hand-crafting a nuclear bomb.

"The Four Symbols Sealing Array!"

"Kid, I’m going to seal you here for three years as a warning to others." Xi Emperor said, as he began to manipulate the Four Symbols Divine Beasts to form the array.

Until now, Xi Emperor hadn’t truly aimed to kill.

He considered Lin Yuan a talent, wanting to bring him into Wa Huang’s Palace like the Peacock Great Ming King and have him serve its cause.

He intended to seal Lin Yuan to keep him away from the battle nine days later, avoiding Lin Yuan’s death at the hands of the World Honored.

Sealing Lin Yuan for three years would temper his spirit, and after three years, the seal would be lifted, returning him to Wa Huang’s Palace.

Xi Emperor understood the World Honored well enough.

Unlike the Human King, the World Honored didn’t seek conflict with the Four Great Primordial Spirits; his goal was to match and stand equal to them.

By sealing Lin Yuan, preventing him from participating in the battle nine days later, he intended to take Lin Yuan away in three years, and the World Honored would likely honor Wa Huang’s reputation.

Seal me for three years?

Not even three months, three weeks; Lin Yuan couldn’t accept it.

The most Lin Yuan could tolerate was being sealed by Xi Emperor for three days.

But, who seals whom, is still undetermined!

With the Human King Sword and Human King Armor in hand, even if Xi Emperor invoked the Four Symbols Sealing Array, Lin Yuan was utterly fearless.

Admittedly, Xi Emperor’s Four Symbols Sealing Array was indeed formidable.

Lin Yuan had previously fought the Azure Dragon alone, dominating it completely, leaving the dragon powerless.

Yet, when the Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger appeared, Lin Yuan was pushed back to square one.

At this moment, Lin Yuan found himself at a disadvantage once again.

The gigantic Black Tortoise appeared overhead, alone being as massive as a small mountain.

The giant tortoise raised its foot, stepping towards Lin Yuan, much like an elephant crushing an ant.

The enormous foot descended towards Lin Yuan, with a pressure akin to Mount Tai’s peak; the sensation threatened to choke even the air.

However, Lin Yuan was entirely undaunted. Slightly closing his eyes, the Human King Sword in his hand lit up with a glowing greenish hue.

Immediately, Lin Yuan transformed into a beam of cyan light, rushing at the Black Tortoise’s foot.

"Boom!"

The cyan sword light emitted by the Bronze Sword grew increasingly bright. As the sword light pierced the massive foot of the Black Tortoise, it left a gaping hole.

"Roar!"

"Roar! Roar!"

The Black Tortoise looked skyward, letting out angry roars.

Astounding indeed was Xi Emperor’s clay-crafted Four Symbols Divine Beasts. Not only did their structure resemble that of living creatures, but they also experienced pain and sensation.

After Lin Yuan injured the Black Tortoise with the sword, the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Vermillion Bird all joined the fray.

The Azure Dragon stood in the east, the White Tiger in the west, the Vermillion Bird in the south, and the Black Tortoise in the north.

As the Four Symbols Divine Beasts attacked in unison, the sealing array pressed down towards Lin Yuan.

Wave after wave of powerful energy surged, with Lin Yuan straining to withstand the Four Symbols Divine Beasts’ attack, inevitably feeling a bit overextended.

After battling for a long time, Lin Yuan trapped within the Four Symbols Sealing Array revealed a pale face.

It was a sign of exhaustion; under continuous attack from the Four Symbols Divine Beasts, Lin Yuan was running out of steam.

Xi Emperor differed from any opponent Lin Yuan had faced; he was stronger than all Lin Yuan had previously encountered.

Moreover, his methods were diverse and unfathomable.

"What to do?"

"Elder Bai, make a call!"

"We can’t just watch Lin Yuan get beat!"

...

...

At this moment, others at the perimeter began speaking, looking towards Elder Bai.

The current situation was that Xi Emperor, using the Four Symbols Sealing Array, had trapped Lin Yuan. The Four Symbols Divine Beasts were pummeling Lin Yuan.

Yet Elder Bai, leading the others, had formed an array that trapped Xi Emperor.

Even though Elder Bai’s array hadn’t acted yet, it had only trapped Xi Emperor.

Elder Bai hesitated to remove the array.

If they removed the array, Xi Emperor could tear through the Void at any moment.

If he sought to escape, stopping him could prove too late.

Maintaining the array meant watching Lin Yuan take a beating.

Removing the array could allow Xi Emperor to flee.

Elder Bai found himself in a dilemma.

Ultimately, the root was their lack of strength.

If they possessed Lin Yuan’s might, such concerns wouldn’t arise.

At this juncture, even trapped within the Four Symbols Array, Lin Yuan heard the exchanges among Elder Bai and the others.

As Lin Yuan fended off the Four Symbols Divine Beasts’ assault, he shouted towards Elder Bai and the others: "Elder Bai, don’t mind me!"

"I can manage; you must keep him trapped, don’t let him escape!"

"If he flees, we might as well forget rescuing Peacock Great Ming King."

Though Lin Yuan currently found himself at a disadvantage, thanks to the protection from the Human King Armor, his injuries weren’t severe.

Moreover, the Human King Sword continued imparting the experiences of the Human King’s swordsmanship.

Lin Yuan could sense his strength constantly improving.

Though still far from defeating the Four Symbols Divine Beasts completely, he hadn’t lost hope.

Inspired by Lin Yuan’s words, Elder Bai made his decision: unless Lin Yuan truly couldn’t hold out, they would refrain from dismantling the array to assist.

Otherwise, the array must stay, trapping Xi Emperor.

"Stay vigilant, keep an eye on Xi Emperor."

"Place trust in Lin Yuan; he’ll certainly win. Once the tide turns, Xi Emperor will attempt to flee."

"Once he tries to escape, that’s our chance to act!"

"When we act, let’s ensure Xi Emperor doesn’t escape." Elder Bai instructed the others sternly.

With Lin Yuan and Elder Bai voicing their resolve, the others naturally held their silence.

While Elder Bai couldn’t directly intervene to help, he kept his gaze fixed intently on the Four Symbols Sealing Array.
