Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

As Lin Yuan listened to the words of the Peacock Great Ming King, he found them increasingly unsettling.

This is seeking one’s own doom!

Today, if he simply stood by and watched the Peacock Great Ming King die before his eyes, Lin Yuan would have no way to face Kong Mengmeng!

"Father-in-law, you must not seek death!"

"You must also think of Mengmeng!" Lin Yuan brought up Kong Mengmeng, hoping to persuade Kong Xuan.

"Peacock Great Ming King, does it have to come to this?" Elder Bai quickly intervened to advise.

"Great Ming King, don’t do something foolish!" Guanyin Bodhisattva also hurried to speak.

...

...

People spoke up in turn, all trying to persuade the Peacock Great Ming King not to seek his own death.

However, the Peacock Great Ming King was stubborn and wouldn’t be swayed by anyone.

"I believe that even Mengmeng would not want her father to be a traitor!"

"My mind is made up, stop persuading me!" the Peacock Great Ming King said decisively.

After speaking, the Peacock Great Ming King transformed the Five-Colored Divine Light into a Treasure Sword and placed it against his own neck.

With just a little force, he could instantly scatter his soul into nothingness.

Everyone knew the Peacock Great Ming King’s nature, once he decided on something, not even nine oxen could pull him back.

Persuasion was definitely not going to work.

Lin Yuan thought, if persuasion wouldn’t work, he’d have to use some tactics.

At this thought, Lin Yuan had an idea and pointed behind the Peacock Great Ming King, shouting, "Mengmeng, why have you come?"

Hearing Lin Yuan’s shout, the Peacock Great Ming King instinctively turned his head to look.

He loved his daughter the most.

The Peacock Great Ming King thought, even in death, he couldn’t die in front of his daughter, otherwise, it would leave a lasting psychological scar on her.

For this reason, when Lin Yuan called out Kong Mengmeng’s name, the Peacock Great Ming King turned his head.

In a split second, as the Peacock Great Ming King turned his head, Lin Yuan swung the Human King Sword and struck the back of the Peacock Great Ming King’s head with the heavy part of the scabbard.

"Bang!"

The Peacock Great Ming King was dazed but not yet unconscious.

He turned to Lin Yuan, pointing at him, "You... you..."

Before the Peacock Great Ming King could finish his sentence, Lin Yuan swung the scabbard again, "Bang" "Bang" a few more times, hitting the back of the Peacock Great Ming King’s head.

With that, the Peacock Great Ming King’s eyes rolled back, and he was completely knocked out.

That Lin Yuan would actually take action and knock out the Peacock Great Ming King was something no one else had anticipated.

Can it really be done like this?

Everyone thought, Lin Yuan surely doesn’t play by the rules!

"Why are you still standing there?"

"Take him back first!" said Lin Yuan, glancing at the onlookers.

Guanyin Bodhisattva hurried forward to support the unconscious Peacock Great Ming King.

Seeing Lin Yuan and the others planning to take him away, Xi Huang was immediately anxious.

Xi Huang thought, if you take him away, what will happen to me?

I still need him to fulfill my promise!

At this thought, Xi Huang hurried to block Lin Yuan, saying, "What’s the use of taking him away?"

"The only way to save him now is to let me bring him to Wa Huang’s Palace."

"The divine law oath cannot be broken, you should know that."

Xi Huang’s words left everyone momentarily stunned.

Indeed!

The divine law oath cannot be broken.

Even though Lin Yuan prevented the Peacock Great Ming King from committing suicide, once the penalty for breaking the divine law oath was imposed, he would still be doomed.

At this point, Lin Yuan said to Xi Huang, "Even if I hand him over to you and you take him back to Wa Huang’s Palace."

"If he’s determined to die, what can you do?"

With Lin Yuan’s words, Xi Huang was rendered speechless!

Lin Yuan made a fair point; if the Peacock Great Ming King was bent on dying, what would be the meaning of bringing him back?

So, Xi Huang stood there, dazed.

Seeing Xi Huang in a daze, Lin Yuan took the initiative to say, "I will take him with me first. If I can resolve the troubles brought by the divine law oath, then the Peacock Great Ming King will not have to go to Wa Huang’s Palace."

"If Wa Huang or anyone else is dissatisfied, they can come find me in person!"

"Of course, if I’m unable to resolve the divine law oath, I’ll persuade him to willingly go to Wa Huang’s Palace."

"It’s a deal!"

"A promise is a promise, irrefutable," Xi Huang immediately chimed in, fearing Lin Yuan might backtrack.

Resolving the troubles caused by the divine law oath?

A joke?

Resolving the troubles brought about by the divine law oath is far more difficult than attaining enlightenment.

Throughout history, while few have attained enlightenment, it is not unheard of.

The Four Great Primordial Spirits, successive Human Kings, even Lin Yuan’s Evil Corpse Yin Celestial Son.

But, among these, who can resolve the troubles brought by the divine law oath?

There isn’t a single one.

Xi Huang felt that Lin Yuan was young and reckless, and buoyed by the success of the Evil Corpse attaining enlightenment, he seemed a bit overconfident.

To actually dare to think of resolving the troubles brought by the divine law oath.

In Xi Huang’s view, Lin Yuan was definitely wasting his efforts.

Xi Huang cared most about Lin Yuan’s promise.

Lin Yuan promised that if he couldn’t resolve the troubles brought by the divine law oath, he would help persuade the Peacock Great Ming King.

This way, Xi Huang wouldn’t worry that the Peacock Great Ming King would seek death again upon reaching Wa Huang’s Palace.

"In that case!"

"You can leave now!"

"This is my territory, not a place for you Outer World People to be," Lin Yuan issued an expulsion order to Xi Huang.

Given his relatively favorable impression of Xi Huang, otherwise, if any other Outer World People dared to appear before him, Lin Yuan would surely kill them on sight, no exceptions.

Xi Huang: "????"

Xi Huang thought, I don’t mind leaving! Staying, you won’t even feed me!

The problem is, before leaving, we need to agree on a timeframe to return him to me.

If you drag this on indefinitely, it won’t work.

"Lin Yuan, our agreement should have a time limit, right?"

"What limit should we set?"

"Let me make it clear, the time can’t be too long."

"I’m not really concerned about the time, but if the penalty for breaking the oath descends after too long, then it might be too late for anything!" Xi Huang said gravely.

The most crucial thing for Lin Yuan now is to preserve the life of the Peacock Great Ming King.

As long as the Peacock Great Ming King is willing to live, going to Wa Huang’s Palace would be no problem, as he could maintain his loyalty internally while physically there.

After careful consideration, Lin Yuan said to Xi Huang, "Seven days, a limit of seven days."

"Within seven days, if I haven’t resolved the troubles brought by the divine law oath, I will persuade him to go to Wa Huang’s Palace."

Seven days?

To Xi Huang and Wa Huang, who possess endless lifespans as Primordial Spirits, seven days is insignificant.

"Alright!"

"Then seven days it is!" After agreeing, Xi Huang, fearing Lin Yuan might go back on his word, tore through the void and left.

Once Xi Huang departed, Lin Yuan immediately arranged for the Peacock Great Ming King to be carried back to Elder Bai’s palace.

Taking advantage of the Peacock Great Ming King’s unconsciousness, Lin Yuan attempted to find a solution to the problem.
