Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings
Chapter 375 - 369: The Schemes of the First Rebirth Saint Mother
Lin Yuan activated the ability of his Meng Po tattoo, and a broken bowl slowly appeared in his hand.
In this broken bowl, there was a bowl of murky yellow soup.
This soup was the legendary Meng Po Soup from myth and legend.
In myth, as long as one drinks this bowl of Meng Po Soup, they can forget everything.
The key to Lin Yuan being able to fabricate memories for people lies in this bowl of Meng Po Soup.
Yang Jing was still in a coma at the moment and naturally couldn’t get up to drink the soup.
For a tough guy like Yang Jing, Lin Yuan saw no need to show pity.
Lin Yuan pinched Yang Jing’s chin, pried open his mouth, and was about to pour in the soup.
"How dare you!"
At that moment, a furious roar echoed in Lin Yuan’s mind.
Subsequently, a figure clad in black royal robes with a crown emerged faintly from Yang Jing’s body.
This is....
The Rebirth Saint Mother.
No, to be precise, it’s the remnant soul of the first Rebirth Saint Mother.
Upon seeing the remnant soul of the first Rebirth Saint Mother, Lin Yuan instinctively stood in front of his little sister-in-law. "How is she still here?" The sister-in-law was equally shocked.
Previously, the remnant soul of the first Rebirth Saint Mother had tried to wrest control of the body from the sister-in-law.
After failing to do so, the remnant soul of the first Rebirth Saint Mother disappeared, and the sister-in-law thought she had dissipated entirely. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Unexpectedly, she had hidden within Yang Jing’s body.
The reason for hiding there was clear.
She intended to launch a second attack when the sister-in-law attempted to resurrect Yang Jing, to seize control of the body.
What she didn’t expect was that the sister-in-law had enlisted outside help.
The second attempt to resurrect Yang Jing was not by the sister-in-law, but by Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan didn’t even touch Yang Jing’s soul; he was just going to pour Meng Po Soup into him.
The remnant soul of the first Rebirth Saint Mother was very wary of the Meng Po Soup in Lin Yuan’s hand, as she felt it could completely purify her.
This remnant soul was the contingency left behind by the Rebirth Saint Mother back in the day.
When the Rebirth Saint Mother took the World Honored Good Corpse to reincarnate, the first Rebirth Saint Mother had already considered that the new soul would have its own consciousness, making it difficult to control.
She left a wisp of her remnant soul in the Vermilion Red Coffin to successfully possess the body at a specific time.
The dean said the World Honored couldn’t dominate him, and it seems that’s true.
Because the first Rebirth Saint Mother couldn’t dominate the sister-in-law either.
Seeing her sneak attack fail, the first Rebirth Saint Mother had to show her hand and said to the sister-in-law, "Let me return, you should not have your own consciousness."
"Only I can defeat the World Honored."
The first Rebirth Saint Mother tried to reason and appeal, making the stakes clear, hoping the sister-in-law would voluntarily relinquish her body and welcome her return.
She believed only she could defeat the World Honored.
And this lifetime was the only chance to defeat the World Honored.
However, Lin Yuan obviously didn’t agree.
The sister-in-law was his woman, and even if she was willing to sacrifice herself for the greater good, Lin Yuan wouldn’t allow it.
Besides, the World Honored isn’t a good person, and this Rebirth Saint Mother doesn’t seem any better.
If the sister-in-law really gave her body up to her, even if she defeated the World Honored and achieved enlightenment, the condition of the Human Race might not be any better.
The enlightenment of the World Honored and the first Rebirth Saint Mother made no difference to Lin Yuan.
Therefore, the sister-in-law’s body could not be relinquished no matter what.
"You old woman, you really are shameless!"
"You’re just a loser of the World Honored’s, yet you say only you can defeat the World Honored?"
"Aren’t you afraid of boasting too much and having cow dung explode on your face!" Lin Yuan retorted.
As he spoke, Lin Yuan tightly held the sister-in-law’s hand, giving her a reassuring look that said she didn’t need to worry.
"Brat, how rude!" the Rebirth Saint Mother roared.
At the moment, her gaze toward Lin Yuan was full of malice.
Last time, when she fought the sister-in-law for control of the body, she glimpsed some of the sister-in-law’s memories.
When she was about to succeed, it was thinking of this man in front of them that allowed the sister-in-law to persevere and not be overpowered.
Actually, it wasn’t that she couldn’t overcome the sister-in-law at the time, but she chose to retreat.
Because the sister-in-law’s physical body was too weak, if both souls continued to compete within it, the body would be destroyed.
After retreating, she hid within Yang Jing’s body, readying herself for a sneak attack.
Thus, today’s scenario unfolded.
"This man is so important to her; if I can capture him, I can surely threaten her into giving up her body willingly!" the remnant soul of the first Rebirth Saint Mother thought.
Understanding this, the first Rebirth Saint Mother was ready to attack Lin Yuan.
Despite being just a wisp of remnant soul, she was the first Rebirth Saint Mother!
A being who once contended with the Peak World Honored, even the first wisp of her remnant soul, seemed beyond Lin Yuan and the others’ capacity to handle.
She had some reservations last time within the sister-in-law’s physical body, but now, she had none.
Capturing Lin Yuan would force the sister-in-law to surrender her body to her.
Lin Yuan, too, was well-versed in the art of combat.
The saying "strike first to gain the upper hand" was one he understood well.
So, instead of waiting for the first Rebirth Saint Mother to make a move, Lin Yuan acted first.
"Whoosh!"
Lin Yuan flicked the broken bowl in his hand, splashing the Meng Po Soup toward the remnant soul of the first Rebirth Saint Mother.
He had already discovered that she was very wary of the Meng Po Soup, suggesting that it was very effective against souls.
However, the remnant soul of the first Rebirth Saint Mother was quick to react.
Just as the bowl of Meng Po Soup was about to hit her, she transformed into a wisp of green smoke and slipped into Yang Jing’s body.
The Meng Po Soup was effective on souls, but not on physical bodies.
After this move failed, Yang Jing slowly opened his eyes, and a powerful aura emanated from him.
Lin Yuan knew that currently controlling Yang Jing’s body was the remnant soul of the first Rebirth Saint Mother.
"Boom!"
"Rumble!"
In the sky, countless bolts of lightning streaked across, and thunder roared.
The lightning struck directly toward Yang Jing, clearly due to the power emanating from him at that moment exceeding the limits of this world, causing its rules to reject him.
A wisp of remnant soul could unleash power beyond Tier Four.
Feeling the world’s rejection, the remnant soul of the first Rebirth Saint Mother quickly withdrew her aura.
"It’s been so long since I’ve experienced the feeling of having a physical body; I’m a bit rusty!"
"While this body is decent, your body is the one truly suited for me!" she said, glaring at the sister-in-law, her tone filled with displeasure. "That body of yours is something I cultivated over countless lifetimes; why are you unwilling to give it to me?"
