Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

"Your courage has grown much compared to before?"

"You dare to enter my Buddha’s Radiance recklessly; do you truly believe I can’t kill you?"

"Since you seek death, I’ll grant you your wish!"

"I’ll kill you, letting your power return to the main body!" The World Honored coldly gazed at his Good Corpse, with only endless indifference in his eyes.

For the World Honored, eliminating his Good Corpse means letting his power return to the main body, and this defines the Dean’s destiny.

"Death?"

"Do you truly think I’m afraid of dying?"

"I know, I’m destined to die today!"

"But I also know, you’re destined to fail today." The Dean’s voice was extremely calm.

The Dean’s voice was as calm as water, piercing the ears of the World Honored.

Clearly, the Dean could accept his death while the World Honored couldn’t accept his failure.

After all, third chances rarely occur.

World Honored’s Enlightenment Method had two out of three destroyed; now only the third remains.

This third method of Enlightenment, if it fails again.

Then the World Honored will never have another chance for enlightenment.

"Nonsense!"

"Do you understand what enlightenment is? How do you know I can’t succeed?" The World Honored became increasingly agitated.

The World Honored could accept anyone denying him, but not the Dean.

Even if denied by the Demon Lord, Buddha, Wa Huang, or the Four Great Primordial Spirits, the World Honored would merely smile.

But, the Dean is different.

The Dean is the World Honored’s Good Corpse; in his eyes, the Dean is himself.

The Dean’s denial is like self-denial to the World Honored.

"How do you know I don’t understand your Enlightenment Method?" the Dean asked with a slight smile.

The Dean’s smile made the World Honored shiver.

Clearly, he is the main body, yet for some reason, the World Honored felt as though the Dean had seen through his thoughts.

"Nonsense!"

"When you were taken to reincarnate by the Rebirth Saint Mother, my Enlightenment Method had only the first part."

"The second part was yet incomplete, and the third had no form at all. You couldn’t possibly know." The World Honored said with conviction.

Before being taken to reincarnation by the Rebirth Saint Mother, the enlightenment pathway created by World Honored was known to the Dean, which was normal.

After all, at that time, they were one entity.

Yet, when the Dean was taken to reincarnation by the Rebirth Saint Mother, they separated.

After that, any pathway created by the World Honored couldn’t possibly be known by the Dean.

The World Honored felt the Dean was bluffing.

However, facts outweigh arguments.

The Dean didn’t argue with the World Honored, as arguing was meaningless.

The Dean slowly walked toward the World Honored, whispering each step words that made him shudder.

"At my enlightenment, may all beings under heaven no longer commit evil deeds."

"At my enlightenment, may all beings under heaven be enlightened and taught."

"At my enlightenment, may all beings under heaven enjoy bliss after death."

...

...

As these vows slipped from the Dean’s lips, the World Honored trembled from head to toe.

The Dean hadn’t lied.

He actually knew the World Honored’s Enlightenment Method.

The words spoken now by the Dean were the World Honored’s!

Of course, even if the Dean said these words, he still couldn’t achieve enlightenment.

These vows are only one aspect of enlightenment.

The vows need to be combined with the World Honored’s Buddha Realm to truly achieve enlightenment.

The real method involves the World Honored fully activating the Buddha Realm, voicing thirty-two vows, to gain heavenly approval via the vow’s power.

Then borrowing the Power of Heaven and Earth to transform the Buddha Realm from a small to a large world.

Only then would the World Honored truly succeed in enlightenment.

The Buddha Realm belongs to the World Honored, not the Dean’s; hence, even if the Dean knows the vows, he still can’t achieve enlightenment.

However, this alone was enough to instill fear in the World Honored.

For the Dean knew his method of enlightenment, his greatest secret.

"Shut up!"

"Shut up!" The World Honored pointed at the Dean, yelling hysterically: "How do you know?"

"How do you know?"

For the first time, the Dean didn’t deny the shared existence between him and the World Honored.

"You and I are essentially the same!"

"What you can think of, naturally, I can too."

"Three methods of enlightenment: superior strategy, severing three corpses."

"Middle strategy, nine reincarnated lives."

"Inferior strategy, great vows." At this point, the Dean looked at the World Honored and said: "Actually, successors should be grateful to you!"

"You alone have paved three paths for them."

The World Honored was shocked; the Dean’s words were spot on, leaving him unable to refute.

In front of the Demon Lord, in front of Buddha, the World Honored never felt as exposed.

But now, before the Dean, he felt like a transparent man, with no secrets.

After pondering for a long while, the World Honored seemed to realize something, letting out a proud laugh: "Haha!"

"Even if you know, what can you do?"

"I’m about to achieve enlightenment; how can you stop me?"

At this, the World Honored fully activated the Buddha Realm, allowing it to rapidly expand, almost covering the entire sky.

"At my enlightenment, may all beings under heaven no longer commit evil deeds."

"At my enlightenment...." The World Honored began voicing great vows, borrowing heaven’s power to reinforce his Buddha Realm.

Everything unfolded as the World Honored anticipated, his great vows gaining heavenly approval.

On the other side.

While the World Honored voiced great vows, the Dean didn’t interrupt him.

The Dean, focusing solely on himself, reached the edge of the World Honored’s Buddha Realm and sat down cross-legged.

As the Dean sat cross-legged, the expansion of the Buddha Realm halted.

It seemed the Dean suppressed the spreading Buddha Realm.

Witnessing this, the World Honored, in the midst of voicing great vows, was stunned.

The purpose of voicing those great vows was to borrow heaven’s power to spread the Buddha Realm, transforming it into a genuine world from a small one.

With the Dean’s obstruction, preventing the realm’s spreading, those great vows seemed in vain.

The World Honored flashed to the Dean’s side, gripping the neck of the sitting Dean.

Then, he twisted forcefully.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, the Dean’s neck snapped, and he fell silent instantly.

The World Honored was taken aback, instinctively tossing the Dean’s corpse aside.

In this instance, the Dean died exceptionally quickly.

The World Honored: "????"

After personally killing the traitorous Dean, the World Honored felt anything but relieved; rather, an inexplicable feeling arose within.

Too smooth?

Exceptionally smooth!

It even seemed that the Dean didn’t resist at all, allowing the World Honored to kill him just like that.
