Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 126 - 124: Next Stop, Feng City

The Power of Rules from the Golden Armor Zombie is the key to fully awakening the Zhong Kui tattoo on Lin Yuan.

It’s strange to say, others are fine to awaken by simply absorbing deceitful qi.

Only Lin Yuan requires absorbing the Power of Rules to awaken.

Even in his past life, three years after the deceitful invasion, Lin Yuan never heard of anyone awakening by absorbing the Power of Rules.

At that time, regardless of tattoos like the Three Pure Ones or the Celestial Gods, they still woke by absorbing deceitful qi.

Linyuan is like a scorpion pulling dung, a rarity indeed, awakening by absorbing the Power of Rules. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Of course, the tattoo ability awakened by absorbing the Power of Rules is obviously powerful.

Lin Yuan rummaged through the Golden Armor Zombie and quickly found the vessel for its Power of Rules.

A golden, egg-sized elixir pill.

"This thing, is it a Corpse Pill?" Lin Yuan examined the golden egg pill in his hand.

He weighed it a few times, and it was very heavy, like a solid gold egg.

Then, he sniffed it under his nose, and it had no peculiar smell.

"How do I absorb the Power of Rules inside this?"

"Could it be eating it?" Lin Yuan muttered to himself.

Lin Yuan was speechless, every time absorbing the Power of Rules, it seems he has to eat some strange thing.

Previously, it was Mr. Yimu Wu’s bloody eyeball, and now it’s this hard gold egg.

Biting into this thing, it would surely shatter his silver teeth.

Lin Yuan played with this gold egg for a long time but indeed found no other way to absorb the Power of Rules.

Helplessly, he could only open his mouth wide and try to swallow this gold egg.

"Ah!"

Lin Yuan opened his mouth wide and exerted force to shove the gold egg inside.

As proven, mouths, as long as you open them wide enough, anything can be shoved in.

Soon, Lin Yuan had shoved the gold egg into his mouth, his cheeks bulging.

This thing, apparently a gold egg, was actually a Corpse Pill.

After entering Lin Yuan’s mouth, it quickly dissolved, and then the Power of Rules surged towards Lin Yuan’s body.

The surging Power of Rules made Lin Yuan’s body feel slightly hot, and the energy inside became a bit restless.

However, this was much better than when he first absorbed Mr. Yimu Wu’s Power of Rules.

Back then, Lin Yuan directly fell into a coma.

If the tattoo ability is water,

then the human body is the bucket containing the water.

Water and bucket complement each other; the bigger the bucket, the more water it can hold.

Thus, the tattoo ability also nourishes the self.

The stronger the tattoo ability, the stronger the body becomes.

Now Lin Yuan’s body is already able to withstand the tattoo ability, so naturally, he no longer experiences the pain of falling unconscious.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on the ground, quietly absorbing the Power of Rules from the Golden Armor Zombie.

As Lin Yuan absorbed the Power of Rules, he also learned what the Golden Armor Zombie’s Power of Rules was.

The power ruled by the Golden Armor Zombie was not the "Gold" rule Lin Yuan initially suspected.

But a kind of Power of Rules called "Submission of All Things."

Submission of All Things, as the name implies, means all substances within a certain range of the Golden Armor Zombie submit to it.

This is why the Golden Armor Zombie could control the surrounding metals and all substances.

Submission of All Things causes these substances to submit to it, naturally to be manipulated as easily as one’s own limbs.

Aside from inanimate objects, even living people within the Zombie’s range would be affected by the Submission of All Things rule.

Lin Yuan was not affected by this Power of Rules simply because he wielded multiple Powers of Rules.

To combat the Power of Rules, only another Power of Rules can suffice.

Just now, the Power of Rules within Lin Yuan’s body counteracted with the Golden Armor Zombie’s "Submission of All Things" rule.

Hence, he wasn’t influenced by the Golden Armor Zombie’s "Submission of All Things" Rule Power.

To be frank, this "Submission of All Things" Power of Rules is kind of nice.

But Lin Yuan hasn’t mastered it.

Because, even after absorbing this Power of Rules, the Zhong Kui tattoo hasn’t awakened.

Awakening Zhong Kui’s Demon-Slaying Sword, Qiankun Umbrella, and Soul-Luring Lamp, those Zhong Kui Magic Artifacts took three different Powers of Rules.

Meaning, one Zhong Kui Magic Artifact consumed one Power of Rules.

Calculating this way, awakening Zhong Kui’s main tattoo requires more than just one Power of Rules.

Just not knowing, once Zhong Kui’s tattoo is fully awakened, whether this "Submission of All Things" Power of Rules will remain.

Perhaps, it will be replaced by other rules more suitable for Zhong Kui tattoo abilities.

Now isn’t the time to think about these things. First, slay enough Tier Five Evil Spirits to fully awaken the Zhong Kui tattoo.

Lin Yuan is genuinely anxious about his strength now; without fully awakening the Zhong Kui tattoo, he really doesn’t have the confidence to face the conglomerates head-on.

As for the corpse of that Golden Armor Zombie, after Lin Yuan extracted the Corpse Pill, it also began to decay slowly.

Lin Yuan used the Soul-Luring Lamp to set it ablaze, burning the Golden Armor Zombie’s body, and then left the palace to meet up with Wen Yingying and the others.

While Lin Yuan was busy, Wen Yingying and the others weren’t idle either. After the Deceitful Demon of the Golden Armor Zombie disappeared, the remaining zombies here had already lost much of their power.

Outside, Zhang Zhen, Wen Yingying, and the others had already cleaned out all the zombies in the Han Dynasty Film and Television City.

"How’s it going? Have all the zombies here been cleared out?" Lin Yuan asked Zhuge Ming.

Among the group, Zhuge Ming had the highest intelligence and somewhat resembled a strategist.

Therefore, Lin Yuan naturally directed the question at him.

Zhuge Ming nodded and replied, "They should have all been cleared out, but I suggest we still check the nearby area."

"If these zombies get out, it will be another disaster for the nearby survivors."

Even though Zhang Zhen and Wen Yingying made defeating these ordinary zombies look as easy as slicing vegetables.

These ordinary zombies are hard to handle for regular survivors.

After all, not everyone is a Life Pattern Master.

And not everyone is a powerful Life Pattern Master.

Lin Yuan nodded, showing his agreement with Zhuge Ming’s suggestion.

However, Lin Yuan didn’t assign them to check if there were any zombies nearby.

Tackling the Golden Armor Zombie was just the first stop for Lin Yuan and his team.

After completing this first mission, they need to quickly move onto the second stop.

Therefore, Zhang Zhen, Wen Yingying, and the others have to first absorb the dense Deceitful Qi nearby.

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and instructed, "You guys absorb the Deceitful Qi here! I’ll go check if there are any zombies nearby."

As the boss, everyone listens to Lin Yuan.

Hence, the group naturally didn’t defy Lin Yuan’s intentions and began meditating to absorb the Deceitful Qi.

Taking advantage of their Qi-absorption interval, Lin Yuan started inspecting the Han Dynasty Film and Television City for any overlooked zombies.

However, sensing the Golden Armor Zombie’s death, the ordinary zombies seemed to go mad, attacking Zhang Zhen and the others.

Thus, there weren’t any overlooked zombies in the Han Dynasty Film and Television City now.

No overlooked zombies were found, but Lin Yuan discovered many survivors who were treated as blood slaves.

These survivors were tortured to the point of being unrecognizable, enduring both physical and psychological torment during their days as blood slaves to the zombies!

After Lin Yuan rescued them, they wore expressions of disbelief.

Then, they felt overwhelming joy from having escaped death.

After checking the Han Dynasty Film and Television City and ensuring everything was thoroughly handled.

Once Zhang Zhen, Wen Yingying, and the others finished absorbing the Deceitful Qi, Lin Yuan didn’t waste any time and immediately led them to their next stop.

Feng City’s Mother-Child Deceitful King.

The Mother-Child Deceitful King in Feng City is still unaware that Lin Yuan is headed her way.

A single Golden Armor Zombie’s Power of Rules didn’t awaken the Zhong Kui tattoo, so maybe adding a Mother-Child Deceitful King will?

....

....

On the car to Feng City, Lin Yuan didn’t drive himself this time but let Zhang Zhen take the wheel.

Lin Yuan sat in the passenger seat, researching the information on the Feng City’s Mother-Child Deceitful King.

The Mother-Child Deceitful King, about the same time, advanced to Tier Five Evil Spirit as the Golden Armor Zombie, suggesting their strengths are likely comparable.

Not to mention debating who’s stronger, based on Lin Yuan’s experience, the Mother-Child Deceitful King’s mysterious nature should surpass that of the Golden Armor Zombie.

This means the Mother-Child Deceitful King is even more mysterious and difficult to deal with.

Zhang Zhen is a novice driver, although he’s had his license for several years, he hasn’t had many opportunities to drive.

Occasionally, he’d drive a shared vehicle or something similar; his driving skills are indescribable.

While Lin Yuan was seriously researching the Mother-Child Deceitful King’s information in the passenger seat, he suddenly felt the vehicle starting to shake.

Initially, Lin Yuan thought it was just Zhang Zhen being a novice driver and unfamiliar with driving.

But soon the vehicle made a "clunking" sound and shook violently.

The Land Rover’s shock absorption is quite good, so Zhang Zhen causing this must mean it’s a serious issue.

Lin Yuan was interrupted from his concentration on the materials, and after putting them down, he glanced around, realizing Zhang Zhen had idiotically driven the car into a wheat field.

"Smack!"

Lin Yuan smacked the back of Zhang Zhen’s head, cursing, "You’ve got eggs below your eyebrows, just blinking without seeing!"

"This is a wheat field, and you just cluelessly drove right in!"

Zhang Zhen helplessly shrugged, pointing at the car’s navigation system and said, "The navigation said to go straight, and I thought straight ahead meant the wheat field!"

Zhang Zhen tried to blame the car navigation system, but Lin Yuan continued to scold, "Even if the navigation is rotten to the core, you must be brainless!"

"The navigation says go straight forward, there’s a wheat field ahead, and you just keep driving. If there was a cliff ahead, you’d drive us all off it and die!"
