Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 282 - 276: The World Honored’s Mission—Kill Lin Yuan

Since the World Honored One reincarnated and retrained, he has rarely revealed himself.

Even the powerful beings who once served under the World Honored One have almost never seen him again.

Today, the appearance of the World Honored One before the Joyful Vajra made him extremely excited.

Of course, the Joyful Vajra also understood the saying "no one visits a Temple of Three Treasures without reason."

The World Honored One, unseen for many years, appearing before him, must surely have a task for him to accomplish!

The Joyful Vajra held a devout belief in the World Honored One, and any task he was given by him, he would complete it even at the cost of his own life.

Hearing the words of the Joyful Vajra, the World Honored One seemed very pleased.

The golden humanoid silhouette nodded slightly and said, "There is something I have been pondering, and I believe you are the most suitable to handle it."

"The World Honored One's discerning eye, in the sect, although I, Joyful, am not the strongest, I am definitely the most reliable."

"In the sect, those stronger than me are not as reliable. Those more reliable are not as strong as I am."

"World Honored One, no matter what task you wish to accomplish, I am definitely the most suitable choice."

"Even if I have to climb a mountain of knives, or plummet into a sea of fire, I will ensure your task is accomplished!" the Joyful Vajra declared confidently. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

This Joyful Vajra's articulate speech indicated that he surely practiced his oratory skills regularly!

"I need you to kill someone for me!" the voice of the World Honored One resounded.

Kill someone?

The Joyful Vajra was taken aback and immediately asked, "World Honored One, who do you want me to kill, please tell me."

The World Honored One waved his hand, and a golden light appeared in front of the humanoid silhouette, like a display screen.

The figure that appeared in the golden light was Lin Yuan, on Iron Back Mountain, leaving after having killed the Iron-Back Daoist.

"Hmm!" Seeing Lin Yuan in the scene, the Joyful Vajra couldn't help but exclaim, pointing at the fish tank Lin Yuan held, "Isn't that youngster from Liuyu Heaven?"

In terms of strength, the Joyful Vajra was an established Tier Four, while Liuyu Heaven was only Tier Five.

Within the sect, the Joyful Vajra was one of the Five Great Protectors, while Liuyu Heaven was only one of the Thirty-Six Minor Protectors.

Therefore, the Joyful Vajra addressing Liuyu Heaven as a youngster was natural.

"Hm!" the World Honored One responded, saying, "Liuyu Heaven was captured alive by him, do not underestimate this boy."

"Though he hasn't been a Tier Four for long, his capabilities are extraordinary. A few days ago, he just killed the Iron-Back Daoist of Iron Back Mountain."

Iron Back Mountain?

Iron-Back Daoist?

After the World Honored One finished speaking, the Joyful Vajra fell into deep thought, pondering who this Iron-Back Daoist was.

After pondering for a while, the Joyful Vajra remembered the Iron-Back Daoist, merely a centipede spirit who achieved Tier Four just over a decade ago.

"World Honored One, you overestimate him. If I were to kill that Iron-Back Daoist, it would take no more than ten moves!"

"Within ten moves, if I can't kill the Iron-Back Daoist, then consider it my defeat!" the Joyful Vajra declared.

The World Honored One knew, the Joyful Vajra wasn't boasting, he wouldn't have the guts to boast before him.

Even as both were Tier Four, the difference in strength was vast.

The Joyful Vajra was the pinnacle of Tier Four, let alone just a decade-old Iron-Back Daoist, even the entire Mysterious World had few Tier Fours that could match him.

That is why the World Honored One sought the Joyful Vajra to kill Lin Yuan.

He believed that the Joyful Vajra could accomplish this task.

If the Joyful Vajra could kill the Iron-Back Daoist within ten moves,

then even if Lin Yuan was stronger than the Iron-Back Daoist, the Joyful Vajra could resolve him within a hundred moves.

"Go forth!"

"Kill him as soon as possible!" the voice of the World Honored One resounded.

The Joyful Vajra, naturally, would give his all to fulfill the World Honored One's command.

Hesitating for a moment, the Joyful Vajra said to the World Honored One, "Since this person hasn't been Tier Four for long, killing him shouldn't require much effort."

"But, I don't know where he is!"

"The Mysterious World is so vast, finding this person would be like searching for a needle in a haystack."

The World Honored One seemed to have anticipated this, and as soon as the Joyful Vajra stopped speaking,

his voice sounded again, saying, "Iron Back Mountain!"

"I have foreseen that his next appearance will also be at Iron Back Mountain. Deploy your men, keep an eye on Iron Back Mountain. Kill him at the first sight!"

After saying this, the golden humanoid silhouette disappeared.

It was as if the World Honored One had never appeared at all.

After the World Honored One left, suspicion appeared in the Joyful Vajra's eyes.

The Joyful Vajra muttered to himself, "The enemies of the World Honored One should logically be figures at the level of the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder! Why insist on killing a mere Tier Four youngster?"

The World Honored One was Tier Two,

and could possibly become the only known Tier One powerhouse in the Mysterious World.

The gap between him and Lin Yuan was like heaven and earth, clouds and mud.

Logically, there should be no intersection or enmity between them.

In the Joyful Vajra's view, a feud between the World Honored One and Lin Yuan seemed a diminution of status.

Thinking for a long time, the Joyful Vajra couldn't comprehend it.

Of course, not understanding didn't affect his execution of the task assigned by the World Honored One.

The person the World Honored One wanted dead, the Joyful Vajra would certainly kill, not even the Celestial King himself could save this boy.

"Someone come!"

"Keep a watch on Iron Back Mountain; the moment you see this boy, notify me immediately!" The Joyful Vajra summoned a few trusted aides, projected Lin Yuan's image in front of them, and sent them to watch over Iron Back Mountain.

...

...

In the Real World.

After engraving King Zhuanlun's mark on his soul, Lin Yuan stayed in Emperor Dragon City for a few days, spending some time with Jian Bing, before preparing to return to Peng City for a few days.

Before leaving, Lin Yuan planned to visit the Research Institute one more time to see the director before leaving Emperor Dragon City.

A few days ago, after the director helped Lin Yuan engrave King Zhuanlun's mark, Lin Yuan didn't let the director work for nothing.

He gave the director a small gift, a segment of tree root obtained from the two mysterious old locust trees on Iron Back Mountain.

Several days have passed, and presumably, the director should have some insights by now.

At the Research Institute.

In the director's laboratory.

When Lin Yuan entered, the director was leading a team of researchers, studying this segment of an old tree root.

This group of people looked troubled, as if a third-grade math test suddenly featured an inequality problem.

"Director, how's the research going?" Lin Yuan asked softly as he approached the director, cautious not to disturb their work.

Even the director's eyebrows seemed steeped in contemplation.

The director shook his head, responding softly, "We have no clue yet. The only thing known is that this segment of a tree root contains extraordinarily powerful deceitful qi energy."

"If this deceitful qi energy could be purified, it could potentially create hundreds of Tier Five Evil Spirits out of thin air!"
