Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Chapter 499 - 493: Matryoshka

The divine soul of the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon looks almost identical to its true form.

The only difference is the vine armor that the dean and others grafted onto it.

However, on the divine soul of the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon, there is no vine armor, making it appear all bloody and nauseating.

Looking at the bloody divine soul of the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon, Lin Yuan found it somewhat hard to swallow.

It’s like pulling a bloody eel out of the river, and someone beside you is egging you to swallow it whole.

Aside from those female streamers chasing trends, who would want to swallow this thing!

The divine soul of the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon was also exploding with a powerful will to survive, twisting its body as if trying to break free from the iron hook and return to its true form.

Seeing that the divine soul of the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon was about to escape, the dean reminded, "Swallow it!"

Lin Yuan saw the situation was dire!

If he hesitated any longer, the divine soul of the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon would escape.

After finally capturing it, he definitely couldn’t let it escape.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan gritted his teeth and moved to swallow the divine soul of the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon.

It was unclear whether it was a psychological effect or a physical discomfort, but after Lin Yuan’s conscious entity swallowed the divine soul of the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon, a fishy, bloody smell roiled in his stomach, almost making him vomit.

However, since Lin Yuan was now in a conscious form, he couldn’t possibly vomit.

Soon after, it seemed as though the divine soul of the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon merged with Lin Yuan’s conscious entity.

At this point, the dean spoke again: "Use your conscious entity to enter the body of the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon."

Lin Yuan had complete trust in the dean and didn’t doubt his words for a moment.

After the dean finished speaking, Lin Yuan’s divine soul immediately entered the body of the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon through the slaughtering knife.

He then began to control the body of the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon with his conscious entity.

Since the divine soul of the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon had been swallowed by Lin Yuan, its body was now merely an empty shell.

After Lin Yuan’s conscious entity entered it, he didn’t feel a hint of resistance.

No, not just no resistance.

The conscious entity within the body of the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon felt at home, like a fish in water.

Lin Yuan certainly knew this was because he had devoured the divine soul of the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon.

"From today onwards, let this part of your conscious entity stay within the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon," the dean told Lin Yuan.

The conscious entity controlling the body of the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon was only a small part of Lin Yuan’s divine soul, not affecting his overall strength.

"Alright!" Lin Yuan agreed promptly and then said to the dean, "But I need to familiarize myself with this body of the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon thoroughly."

Lin Yuan was a human, walking upright on two legs.

The Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon was a dragon, long and limp.

Lin Yuan made a valid point; because he wasn’t accustomed to controlling the body of the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon, it was now limp and floppy.

Currently, Lin Yuan’s top priority was to make the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon stand up straight.

After numerous attempts, Lin Yuan finally had the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon stand up, able to barely swim through the water and billow through the clouds and mist.

However, for Lin Yuan to exploit the combat power of the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon, he would need to keep practicing.

At this moment, Lin Yuan understood why, when watching the Legend of the White Snake as a child, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing couldn’t walk after transforming.

After all, walking as a human and moving as a serpent or dragon are entirely different concepts.

The dean looked at Lin Yuan and slowly said, "There’s no need to rush. The Poisonous Insect King cultivation plan will still take some time to yield twenty-eight Kings."

After hearing the dean’s words, the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon spoke human words, sounding exactly like Lin Yuan: "That’s perfect. I can use this time to adapt for a few days."

"In the coming days, I will try to adapt to this body. Once the twenty-eight Poisonous Insect Kings are cultivated, the dean can notify me."

Leaving the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon’s avatar behind, Lin Yuan’s main body departed the lab with the dean.

At that moment, Lin Yuan seemed to think of something and asked the dean, "Dean, you say that after the twenty-eight Poisonous Insect Kings die, their power will return to the body of the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon. So, if the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon is controlled by my conscious entity and it dies, would its power return to my body?"

Based on the dean’s words, Lin Yuan speculated on the newest nested doll strategy.

If that were true, Lin Yuan might become the biggest beneficiary.

By that time, with the death of both the twenty-eight Poisonous Insect Kings and the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon, their power would all return to Lin Yuan’s body.

At that point, Lin Yuan could potentially seize the opportunity to break through to Tier Two successfully.

Upon hearing Lin Yuan’s question, the dean smiled warmly at him.

It seemed as though he was saying, "You might not look extraordinary, but your thoughts certainly are creative."

Feeling a bit embarrassed under the dean’s gaze, Lin Yuan awkwardly smiled and said, "This is merely a bold and immature speculation on my part. If I guessed wrong, please don’t laugh at me, dean."

After hearing Lin Yuan’s words, the dean shook his head and slowly said, "It might be, or it might not."

"Even though I can calculate almost everything under the heavens, there’s one thing I can’t figure out, and that’s you."

"Not just me; perhaps no one, including the World Honored One, can calculate what’s in store for you."

Lin Yuan had heard this sentiment from Elder Bai as well.

Not only the dean but also Elder Bai couldn’t discern his destiny.

Lin Yuan believed that even the World Honored One couldn’t understand his path.

If the World Honored One had a flawless strategy against him, Lin Yuan would have perished long ago and not survived to this point.

This suggests that even the dean doesn’t know whether the power of the Seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon would return to his body after its death.

In that case, Lin Yuan could only hope that his protagonist’s aura would come into play once more.

Allowing himself to seize the opportunity and advance directly to Tier Two.

Bear in mind Human King Di Xin’s Bronze Sword said that as soon as he breaks into Tier Two, he would be able to wield the Bronze Sword and Bronze Armor.

By then, with Tier Two strength and leveraging the Bronze Sword and Bronze Armor of Human King Di Xin, he might well be able to battle the World Honored One.

After leaving the dean’s lab, since Jian Bing was away in Ah San Country on a mission, Lin Yuan didn’t linger in Emperor Dragon City for long.

Thinking it over, he decided to first head to Peng City.

With nothing pressing at the moment, he figured he could stay in Peng City for a few days before the insect cultivation plan succeeded. After that, he’d have to stay long-term in the Mysterious World and wouldn’t be returning anytime soon.

With this in mind, Lin Yuan used the ability of the Yellow Springs Road to return to Peng City.

Yang Jing was still lazing about there, killing dogs and cooking meat, yet for some reason, his power seemed to have improved.

This left Lin Yuan puzzled; without any cultivation, could killing dogs and cooking meat also enhance one’s strength?
