Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Chapter 515 - 509: The Secret of the Eight Treasures Reincarnation Pool

Elder Bai only severely injured and trapped the Chongming Bird, but did not take its life.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan approached and asked Elder Bai, "Elder Bai, won’t you take its life?"

Elder Bai shook his head slightly and said gravely, "He can only be trapped, not killed."

"He has entered the World Honored’s Eight Treasure Rebirth Pool. We cannot kill him; even if he dies, he will be reborn in the Eight Treasure Rebirth Pool."

Lin Yuan: "???"

Chongming Bird: "???"

After hearing Elder Bai’s words, Lin Yuan was utterly bewildered.

Not only Lin Yuan was bewildered, but Chongming Bird was also utterly confused.

After death, would he be reborn in the Eight Treasure Rebirth Pool?

If that’s the case, wouldn’t he be an immortal existence?

Thinking of this, Chongming Bird’s heart was filled with wild joy.

If this really was the case, he wouldn’t need to fear Elder Bai and the others anymore. At worst, he would just die, but he’d be reborn again in the Eight Treasure Rebirth Pool.

But, is Elder Bai speaking the truth?

Does the World Honored’s Eight Treasure Rebirth Pool really have such an effect?

If the Eight Treasure Rebirth Pool truly has this capability, then why didn’t the World Honored tell them when they first entered the pool?

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

"Rebirth?"

"The Eight Treasure Rebirth Pool actually has the effect of rebirth, so I am immortal!"

"You, Bai, I do not fear you. If you dare, just kill me!" Chongming Bird laughed maniacally.

Seeing Chongming Bird in this frenzied state, Elder Bai’s face showed a hint of disdain.

"Foolish!" Elder Bai said coldly.

Chongming Bird: "???"

Chongming Bird thought, with the Eight Treasure Rebirth Pool having the effect of rebirth, what isn’t worth being happy about?

Why be called foolish for being happy about this?

"You, Bai, what do you mean?" Chongming Bird glared at Elder Bai and asked, clearly discontented.

Elder Bai’s small and bright eyes stared intently at Chongming Bird for a long time before saying flatly, "Do you think there is such a thing as a free lunch in this world?"

Chongming Bird: "???"

With these words, Chongming Bird fell into deep thought.

Was Elder Bai suggesting that the matter of the Eight Treasure Rebirth Pool was too good to be true?

Could it be that rebirth after death with the aid of the Eight Treasure Rebirth Pool comes with a price?

But if one has already died, what price could be greater than death?

Chongming Bird wore a puzzled expression, unable to comprehend.

He wished to understand, yet found himself unable to.

Then Elder Bai’s voice rang in Chongming Bird’s ear, "Do you want to know?"

At this moment, Chongming Bird was filled with curiosity.

He suspected that using the World Honored’s Eight Treasure Rebirth Pool for rebirth would surely come with drawbacks.

Otherwise, when they entered the Eight Treasure Rebirth Pool, the World Honored would have informed them.

Responding to Elder Bai’s voice by his ear, Chongming Bird instinctively said, "I want..."

Yet upon saying "want", Chongming Bird feared falling into Elder Bai’s trap, quickly correcting himself, "Whether you say it or not, I won’t believe you anyway."

At this moment, Chongming Bird desperately wanted to hear some secrets from Elder Bai.

However, he dared not fully trust Elder Bai’s secrets.

Seeing Chongming Bird’s demeanor, Elder Bai guessed his thoughts.

Elder Bai calmly said, "Let me do you a favor and reveal the truth, whether you believe it or not is up to you."

"However, you should understand that you are now merely a prisoner, so I have no reason to deceive you."

Saying this, Elder Bai began slowly, "The World Honored’s Eight Treasure Rebirth Pool, rather than being a pool of rebirth, is more accurately an Eight Treasure Alchemy Furnace."

"Yet, the World Honored is not making the usual pills. The World Honored is creating Human Pills."

Upon hearing the two words "Human Pill", Chongming Bird’s hair stood on end, he shivered, and cold sweat coated his forehead.

Suddenly, Chongming Bird seemed to realize something.

At this moment, Chongming Bird could no longer hold back, he urgently asked, "What is this Human Pill, you Bai, stop beating around the bush, just say it straight."

Seeing Chongming Bird’s anxious manner, Elder Bai showed a hint of amusement, saying lightly, "From your reaction, you’re not entirely foolish."

"You should have guessed it; the Human Pill I refer to is none other than you."

"Everyone who first enters the Eight Treasure Rebirth Pool is marked by the World Honored. Each time you die and are reborn in the Eight Treasure Rebirth Pool, this mark deepens."

Upon hearing this, Chongming Bird interrupted Elder Bai, retorting, "If that’s the case, can’t we just avoid dying, thereby slowly erasing this mark?"

Hearing this, Elder Bai was momentarily at a loss on how to assess Chongming Bird.

Not knowing whether to call him clever or foolish.

"The World Honored’s mark cannot simply be erased because you wish it."

"That mark is hidden deep within your soul; it’s difficult enough to find, let alone erase it."

"Once you entered the Eight Treasure Rebirth Pool, your fate was no longer in your control!"

"Immortal? Do you really think you can choose not to die simply because you wish it?"

"Right now, it’s only because the World Honored finds you useful and has not deemed it necessary to control you."

"Should the World Honored seek enlightenment and require energy to offset depletion, you will become his optimal Human Pill."

"Have you ever wondered why the Peacock Great Ming King did not enter, nor did Wu Nengsheng in the past?"

"The World Honored did not invite them because he knew they would discern the true nature of the Eight Treasure Rebirth Pool. Inviting you all was because the World Honored was confident you wouldn’t recognize the flaws of the pool." Elder Bai stated firmly.

After Elder Bai said this, Chongming Bird was drenched with cold sweat!

Human Pill!

He never imagined they were actually the World Honored’s Human Pills.

In essence, they are merely reserve nourishment for the World Honored!

They were fortunate to enter the Eight Treasure Rebirth Pool, repairing their damaged foundations with pride.

Unbeknownst to them, they were the biggest fools!

"Alas!" Chongming Bird sighed heavily, saying helplessly, "Death is inevitable, whether sooner or later, perhaps this is destiny."

Understanding the truth, Chongming Bird no longer sought to resist.

Evading Kong Xuan, couldn’t escape Elder Bai, and even if he managed to evade Elder Bai, the ultimate boss World Honored lay ahead.

It seemed no matter what, his path led to imminent demise.
