Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

"Damn it, what bad luck to encounter a lunatic!" Celestial Drum Thunder Sound Buddha grumbled.

Celestial Drum Thunder Sound Buddha thought, no wonder his kind persuasion and threats couldn’t dissuade him!

Turns out, this guy’s a freaking lunatic!

How can a lunatic be dealt with using common sense? It’s right that he can’t be persuaded.

If he could be persuaded, would he still be called a lunatic?

"Let’s join forces first and kill this madman!"

"Don’t hold back, use full force, and quickly take him and Lin Yuan down. I reckon the Peacock Great Ming King is coming!" One-Character Golden Tripod Buddha said.

In front of them, Zhao Kuo, One-Character Golden Tripod Buddha, and Celestial Drum Thunder Sound Buddha didn’t take him seriously.

However, they worried that if Zhao Kuo delayed them, allowing the Peacock Great Ming King to arrive, things would become difficult.

In their opinion, Zhao Kuo was nothing, but the Peacock Great Ming King was truly formidable!

Even though both were Tier Two Peak, the five of them together couldn’t handle the Peacock Great Ming King.

Now that Medicine King Buddha was dead, if the Peacock Great Ming King arrived, they might not even be able to protect themselves, let alone kill Lin Yuan.

As soon as the words were spoken, Celestial Drum Thunder Sound Buddha and One-Character Golden Tripod Buddha made their moves.

Upon attacking, both Buddhas used their lethal moves.

Celestial Drum Thunder Sound Buddha summoned his trump card, a colossal cyan drum emitting thunder.

This treasure was his life-bound magical treasure, similar to Wu Nengsheng’s Human Seed Bag back in the day.

Celestial Drum Thunder Sound Buddha was named for this drum.

The drum was covered with the hide of a beast called Kui Niu.

Kui Niu was an ancient exotic beast, without horns and having only one hoof.

Celestial Drum Thunder Sound Buddha, by a stroke of fate, acquired this beast, naturally endowed with thunder energy, and used its skin to make the drum and its bones for drumsticks.

He called this drum the Thunder Sound Celestial Drum.

Among all the magical treasures in the world, this drum’s lethality was second to none.

Its only flaw was a lack of defensive means.

As for the defensive means, One-Character Golden Tripod Buddha assisted.

One-Character Golden Tripod Buddha and Celestial Drum Thunder Sound Buddha were partners, often acting together.

In personal relations, their friendship was no less than that of the Peacock Great Ming King and Guanyin Bodhisattva.

That’s because One-Character Golden Tripod Buddha was exactly the opposite.

His treasure was a precious tripod.

This tripod had ample defense but lacked offense.

One-Character Golden Tripod Buddha was known for having few equals in defense among peers but had mediocre attack methods.

Why was he said to have few equals in defense among peers and not invincible in the same tier?

Because among Tier Two Peak powerhouses, there were freaks like the Peacock Great Ming King.

Even the World Honored, strictly speaking, was also Tier Two Peak and in the same tier as them.

Therefore, One-Character Golden Tripod Buddha could only have few equals in defense among peers and couldn’t claim to be invincible in the same tier.

Celestial Drum Thunder Sound Buddha excelled in attack but not in defense.

One-Character Golden Tripod Buddha excelled in defense but not in attack.

When they cooperated, they excelled in both attack and defense.

It’s a perfect complement, whether it’s only in battle or possibly even in everyday life - who knows.

In a moment, Celestial Drum Thunder Sound Buddha and One-Character Golden Tripod Buddha had summoned their magical treasures.

A massive, golden-glowing tripod hovered above them, its radiant Buddha’s Radiance enveloping them and keeping them safeguarded within.

As long as the tripod remained intact, the Buddha’s Radiance persisted, and no one could harm the two beneath it.

After securing their safety, Celestial Drum Thunder Sound Buddha began swinging two immaculate, jade-like drumsticks.

The two drumsticks were one long, one short, one thick, one thin.

These drumsticks were forged from the lone leg bone of the Kui Niu.

The long, thick drumstick was made from the creature’s femur.

With it, the drum emitted electrical attacks focused on physical bodies.

The short, thin drumstick was made from the creature’s lower leg bone.

It released thunder that targeted souls.

"Boom."

"Boom, boom!"

As Celestial Drum Thunder Sound Buddha continuously drummed, one thunderbolt after another appeared.

The thunder created by him also came in two forms.

One was a gigantic cyan thunder like a monstrous python, highly damaging to physical bodies.

The other was a slender black thunder akin to a venomous snake, inflicting harm on souls.

When the cyan thunder struck, Zhao Kuo shuddered, his hand gripping the bloodstained spear quivering slightly.

When the slender, venomous-snake-like black thunder descended, Zhao Kuo showed no reaction, but a scale from the black dragon beneath him fell off.

The fallen scale turned into black smoke, an outline resembling an armored soldier.

At this moment, Zhao Kuo’s earlier words echoed in Lin Yuan’s mind.

"I am not alone; I represent Bai Qi, Wang Jian, Meng Tian, Wang Ben, Wang Li, Zhang Han... and hundreds of thousands of Qin and Zhao soldiers..."

Initially, Lin Yuan didn’t grasp the full meaning of these words, but recalling the scene of the black dragon scale falling, he suddenly understood everything.

Celestial Drum Thunder Sound Buddha and One-Character Golden Tripod Buddha weren’t wrong; Zhao Kuo was indeed Tier Two Early Stage.

Despite this, he could exhibit power far beyond his level because he harnessed the strength of Bai Qi, Wang Jian, Meng Tian, Zhang Han, and hundreds of thousands of Qin and Zhao soldiers.

These were the corpses at Pule Mountain among the Human Race and formed the corpse aura with their remains.

Zhao Kuo used this corpse aura to coalesce the corpse aura black dragon.

Thus, he possessed the might to face both Celestial Drum Thunder Sound Buddha and One-Character Golden Tripod Buddha head-on.

If Zhao Kuo lost this battle, he would be reduced to ashes, and the corpse aura representing Bai Qi, Wang Jian, Meng Tian, and the Qin and Zhao soldiers would also dissipate.

The last traces of their existence would be erased.

To save Lin Yuan, Zhao Kuo had paid a great cost.

There was no time for Lin Yuan to be sad; Zhao Kuo, having withstood several thunderbolts, launched an attack.

"Those who offend the Human Race will be punished even if far away!" cried Zhao Kuo as he thrust his rusty, bloodstained spear.

"Clang!"

The sound of metal clashing like thunder echoed as the rusty, bloodstained spear collided with the golden tripod.

The bloodstained spear pierced the surface of the tripod, leaving a hole, though it didn’t penetrate completely.

When the spear pierced the tripod, One-Character Golden Tripod Buddha shuddered, feeling a taste of blood rising in his throat.

He gritted his teeth, swallowing back the blood that had surged up.
