Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 193 - 187: The Four Departments’ Tribunal of Great Black Heaven

If it is about returning?

Then, this matter becomes rather terrifying upon closer thought.

Returning means they originally existed in this world.

It was just at some point, something happened that caused the evil spirits to leave this world.

Or rather, the Mysterious World and the Real World were originally one.

Now, it's merely the trajectory of correction, returning to normal.

The deeper he thought, the more shocked Lin Yuan felt, and his pupils began to slowly dilate.

Lin Yuan carefully sorted through his memories, as scene after scene since the supernatural invasion appeared in his mind like a slideshow.

Bai Ling'Er...

This is the beautiful love story between a fox immortal and a scholar in ancient mythological tales.

The bun shop owner.

This is also the evil ghost from the Evil Dog Ridge in the Underworld from folk tales.

Fire Gu, Funeral Crow, Human-faced Demon Spider, Golden Armor Zombie, Mother-Child Deceitful King...

Since the supernatural invasion, all the evil spirits that seemed to appear in the Real World can be found in ancient folklore and tales of the supernatural.

Even if you can't find the exact same ones, you can find similar stories.

In other words, similar evil spirits appeared in ancient times as well.

After entering modern society, these evil spirits suddenly disappeared.

Now, they have returned.

Perhaps those myths and folk tales were not just mere stories.

They were the personal experiences of the ancients, things that truly existed and happened at some point in time.

It's a return.

Not a descent.

Lin Yuan repeatedly savored this sentence, and even began to somewhat believe it.

Seeing Lin Yuan's expression begin to change, Jian Bing quickly shouted, "Lin Yuan, don't be tempted by him."

What he says may not all be true, maybe he's trying to tempt you?

"Whew."

Lin Yuan took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"What do you know?"

No matter if what the Great Black Heaven says is true or false, in any case, they can't just be led by the nose.

Since the supernatural invasion, the Great Black Heaven has been the strongest evil spirit to descend upon the Real World.

So, he must know something.

Of course, whether or not he is willing to say it, Lin Yuan cannot control.

"Believe in my master, submit to me, and become my new Four Directions Attendants."

"At that time, I will naturally tell you everything!" The voice of the Great Black Heaven was filled with temptation and seduction.

Of course, the Great Black Heaven would not easily tell Lin Yuan the information he wanted.

And the thing that made Lin Yuan feel the most uncomfortable was that the Great Black Heaven stopped halfway through speaking.

Then, he just stopped abruptly.

You now say it's a return, not an invasion.

But, why did we return, why did we leave in the first place?

You didn't say any of this!

If you're like this, you might as well not say anything at all.

Speaking halfway is just not enough to make people uncomfortable.

This feeling is comparable to constipation.

Lin Yuan stared intently at the Great Black Heaven and said word by word, "Don't want to say it?"

"It's okay, killing you, I can still get the information I want."

Lin Yuan had the Soul-Luring Lamp in his hand, as long as he could kill the Great Black Heaven, then by using the Soul-Luring Lamp to shine on the Great Black Heaven's life.

At that time, the information he wanted to know, he could see clearly.

"Haha!"

"Hahaha!"

After hearing Lin Yuan's words, the Great Black Heaven sitting above suddenly burst into laughter, as if he had heard the funniest joke of his life.

"This is my Deceitful Demon, it is my world."

"Killing me in my world is the funniest thing I've ever heard." The Great Black Heaven mocked mercilessly.

"Since you want to court death, then I will fulfill your wish!"

As soon as the words fell, the Great Black Heaven had already fully exerted his Deceitful Demon.

Lin Yuan and the others were now in the Lotus Heart Temple, which was the core of the Great Black Heaven's Deceitful Demon.

How to put it?

They now just had a kind of, knowingly walking into the tiger's den despite the awareness feeling.

As the voice of the Great Black Heaven fell, the surrounding black mist began to rapidly spread, gradually giving people a feeling of being completely enveloped in darkness.

Lin Yuan knew this was the Great Black Heaven using his rule "Darkest Night" to activate his Deceitful Demon and fully attack them.

"Rustle."

"Rustle, rustle."

The next moment, a series of faint rustling sounds came from the surrounding black mist.

The sound was very faint, almost inaudible, and you had to listen closely to hear anything.

"There's a sound, seems like there's a sound?" Jian Bing was the first to warn.

Lin Yuan summoned the Soul-Luring Lamp, barely illuminating a space, temporarily preventing Jian Bing, Zhi Ming, and Ling Guang from disappearing before his eyes.

As long as they didn't lose sight, the four could see each other.

So, in case someone encountered an attack, it would be easier to help each other.

However....

Just as Lin Yuan thought of this, an unexpected event occurred.

The surrounding black fog suddenly condensed into threads.

These threads were somewhat similar to fishing line in thickness, but their toughness and strength were far beyond comparison.

The threads formed by the black stone fog quickly wrapped around the hands and feet of Jian Bing, Zhi Ming, and Ling Guang.

Then, they forcefully dragged them into the black fog.

Instantly, they were pulled out of the Soul-Luring Lamp's illumination range, dragged into the black fog, disappearing from Lin Yuan's vision.

Seeing Jian Bing, Zhi Ming, and Ling Guang pulled into the black fog, Lin Yuan reacted almost instinctively, chasing toward Jian Bing's direction.

Luckily, Lin Yuan had left an aura inside them beforehand. Although the black fog made it almost impossible to see, Lin Yuan could locate Jian Bing's position through that aura.

Once the Yellow Springs Road Tattoo could be utilized, with the "No Distance" Power of Rules, no one could escape Lin Yuan's grasp.

After sensing Jian Bing's position, in the next moment, Lin Yuan activated the Yellow Springs Road Tattoo.

With the "No Distance" rule in use, Jian Bing saw Lin Yuan, holding Zhong Kui's Demon-Slaying Sword, descending from the sky.

A slash from Zhong Kui's Demon-Slaying Sword, its sharp blood-red sword beam cut through, leaving the unstoppable "Annihilation" rule in its wake.

Under the effect of the "Annihilation" rule, the threads binding Jian Bing's limbs were directly severed by a single sword.

After cutting the threads, Jian Bing regained his freedom.

"Sorry for troubling you again!"

"Let's quickly rescue Zhi Ming and Ling Guang, okay?"

"Rescue Ling Guang first, Zhi Ming should be able to hold on for a while longer," Jian Bing said anxiously from the side.

Great Black Heaven is very powerful, far stronger than they had imagined.

The moment he was wrapped by the black threads, Jian Bing wanted to transform into a tiger, using White Tiger Avatar to break free.

But in the end, he found all the energy within him completely sealed, unable to move at all.

When he was just wrapped by the black threads, although surprised by Great Black Heaven's sneak attack, it was enough to prove its strength, able to easily bind and disable three people at once.

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "No need to rescue, fight to the end, let's launch the killer move!"

"Borrow your power!"

After saying this, Lin Yuan activated the aura he left on Jian Bing, Zhi Ming, and Ling Guang's bodies beforehand.

Following that, he began borrowing their power to activate the remaining three departments.

At this moment, Lin Yuan's aura began to change, a fire-red robe appeared on him.

"Boom!"

With a loud crash, followed by the ground trembling, it seemed as something fell.

In the next moment, the surrounding environment changed.

The Lotus Heart Buddhist Temple vanished, revealing a completely new scene before them.

All around, a great hall appeared on each side, the position they occupied was right in the center of the four halls.

The four great halls surrounded it tightly, as if forming an isolated arena.

The architectural style of the four halls was nearly identical, the only difference being the plaques hanging at their doors.

On the east hall hung a plaque inscribed with "Punishment Department."

On the west hall hung a plaque inscribed with "Praise Department."

On the south hall hung a plaque inscribed with "Investigation Department."

On the north hall hung a plaque inscribed with "Yin Law Department."

With the appearance of the Four Departments from the Underworld, Lin Yuan was about to have the Four Departments judge Great Black Heaven.

When Lin Yuan and Great Black Heaven appeared at this site, Jian Bing, Zhi Ming, and Ling Guang also appeared here.

However, Zhi Ming and Ling Guang were still bound by the black threads.

Lin Yuan waved his hand, flames ignited on the black threads, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

Next, Lin Yuan waved again, a breeze followed, causing Jian Bing, Zhi Ming, and Ling Guang to retreat with the wind.

As if carried by the wind, the three of them respectively entered the Praise Department, Investigation Department, and Yin Law Department.

"Stay inside."

"Do not move randomly, and definitely don't come out!" Lin Yuan instructed the three.

Lin Yuan borrowed their power to manifest the Praise, Investigation, and Yin Law Departments.

At this time, the three of them were completely empty inside, without any energy, unable to resist.

Staying inside the three departments, they could avoid injury or even death.

Suddenly appearing in this mysterious place from his Lotus Heart Buddhist Temple, Great Black Heaven's face changed drastically.

He surveyed around and, after seeing the plaques hanging on the four surrounding halls, softly muttered: "Punishment Department, Praise Department, Investigation Department, Yin Law Department."

After softly reciting this, Great Black Heaven's face revealed horror.

"Impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"The Underworld has disappeared, it cannot exist in the world."

"How can you, a mere human, control the power of the Underworld!"

"Who are you, who exactly are you?" Great Black Heaven exclaimed in horror.

Great Black Heaven's expression was extremely frightened, unwilling to believe anyone could control the power of the Underworld.

For evil spirits, the Underworld was the most restraining force against them.

Evil spirits encountering the Underworld were undoubtedly like mice meeting a cat.
