Purgatory Artist
Chapter 621: Heads-up

Chapter 621: Heads-up

The hide-and-seek competition.

On the cliff of a canyon, inside a secret supply depot.

A seal fell into Liu Ping’s hand.

A pixie’s seal!

Using it, Liu Ping once again returned to the venue of the competition.

Yun Xi sat across from him.

"You’ve already passed the Human Tribulation and Beast King Tribulation, now there’s still the Heaven Tribulation, Asura Tribulation, Huang Quan Tribulation, and Wraith Tribulation" Yun Xi told him.

Her gaze was filled with the light of wisdom, completely different from before.

"Then, what do I need to do now?" Liu Ping asked.

Yun Xi turned her hand.

A yaksha mask appeared in her hand, which she handed to Liu Ping.

"Fight as a wraith, kill a powerful Lord of Nightmares, or an agent of the Apocalypse, and cause their soul to fall into Huang Quan." Yun Xi explained.

"Which ... Tribulation is this?" Liu Ping asked in surprise.

"The Wraith, Huang Quan, and Asura Tribulations"

"Pass all three at once?"

"Because you managed to escape from that dragon and saved a fragment world of the Samsara, this is the Samsara’s reward for you."

"Alright."

Liu Ping received the yaksha mask and put it on.

Lines of burning text quickly appeared in the void of space:

[You’re wearing a mask: Desolate Wraith]

[A representation]

[Wearing it means that you’re a member of the Samsara, from now on, you’re a wraith]

[Effect: Witness your battle]

[— — the Wraith, Huang Quan, and Asura Tribulations have begun!]

[Go slay the enemy for the Samsara!]

Liu Ping lightly stroked the yaksha mask and softly asked:

"Yun Xi, how’s your world?"

"The Apocalypse is still rampaging, after you’re done with your Tribulation, I’ll immediately go fight against the Apocalypse." Yun Xi replied.

"Seems like I need to hurry." Liu Ping said.

"You still need to be careful, it’s still a Tribulation, it won’t be that easy — —" Yun Xi worriedly said.

Liu Ping put the yaksha mask back on and slowly stood up:

"At a time like this, we need God’s protection."

He suddenly drew a colorful Card from the void of space.

Yun Xi looked at the Card, only to see a smiling clown drawn on it.

Liu Ping held the Card in one hand, then put the yaksha mask on his face with the other before vanishing.

At another location.

Deep in the sky.

A middle-aged man silently appeared.

Form of Ashes!

It stood with its hands behind its back and looked down at the world below. It muttered, "You’ve hidden yourself ... How laughable. Did you really think that I would look for you slowly?"

A ball of light emitting a terrifying aura appeared in front of it.

"Go, destroy this world."

Form of Ashes whispered.

Pa!

With a soft sound, the ball of light turned into nothingness.

Ashes was startled. His expression changed as he said, "How is this possible? How could such a huge power be extinguished by all the Laws?"

It carefully sensed the changes of the various Laws in the void and only understood after a while.

"So this place is closely related to future events ... If I try to destroy the world, even I will be killed by the Four Great Laws."

Ashes said with a solemn expression.

This place was too dangerous.

Speaking of which, when did such a world appear?

It was completely under the strict control of the Laws, and the slightest carelessness would cause it to be obliterated.

Form of Ashes thought for a few seconds and made a prompt decision, "Let’s go!"

Just as it was about to enter the void, it saw fine cracks quietly appear in the void around it.

These cracks gave off a terrifying aura of destruction, even more so than Apocalypse.

As it crashed into one of the cracks, it uttered a painful howl.

— — The combined destruction of the Four Great Laws!

Form of Ashes quickly retreated, not daring to act rashly again.

All of a sudden.

A soft sound resounded from the void of space.

A man wearing a yaksha mask jumped out and excitedly asked: "A new participant?"

"I’m only here to kill one person, then I’ll leave right away." the Form of Ashes shook its head.

"Ahahaha, I can tell from a single glance that you’re an extremely evil dragon, hurry up and find a place to hide." the man wearing the yaksha mask laughed and told it.

"Why do I have to hide?" the Form of Ashes asked.

"The hide-and-seek competition! The Laws of Reality require everyone here to participate in the competition, otherwise — — "

The man wearing the yaksha mask didn’t say anything else and simply looked at the Form of Ashes with a meaningful gaze.

Form of Ashes looked down at its own body.

Cracks were spreading all over its body.

The Four Great Laws had gathered here, in order to ensure that everything would return to normal after 2000 years, they required everyone to participate in the competition — —

If you don’t, you’ll be erased by the Laws!!!

Form of Ashes’s heart sank and slowly understood.

"Damn it ... I haven’t come out for so long that I fell for this trick!" It gritted its teeth and looked down at the ground below.

On the ground below, countless living beings were fighting one another, trying to gain more territory and help their masters search for the other hidden opponents.

The Form of Ashes squinted its eyes and quickly came up with a countermeasure.

"I’ll participate — — - but since it’s a hide-and-seek competition, someone has to search for them, right?" it asked.

"Of course!"

The man wearing the yaksha mask happily spun around and replied: "However, in the previous competitions, no one wanted to be the one searching for others, so everyone agreed to hide while searching."

The Form of Ashes smirked and exuded intense killing intent:

"Then, if I’m willing to be the one searching for them and dig out everyone who’s hiding, would that be fine?"

"That’s a tiring job, if you’re willing, of course it’s fine." the man wearing the yaksha mask replied.

"I’ll participate!" the shape of ashes declared.

Cheers resounded from the void of space.

They were the excited cheers of the pixies watching the competition.

"Then, please begin — — - I’ll make some preparations, then introduce you to the competition!" the man wearing the yaksha mask said.

He entered the void of space and disappeared without a trace.

The Form of Ashes looked down at its body, only to see all the cracks slowly disappearing.

Sure enough, I’m going to participate in this competition!

That brat really planned it well, using such a method to trap me here ... but he miscalculated something.

I’m the agent of the Apocalypse.

The [Form of Ashes] coldly smirked and muttered: 「 Plague of Ashes, spread your wings and bring an end to everything on the earth 」

Large clusters of green fog began to exude from its body, which scattered with the wind and quickly filled the entire world, spreading in every direction.

On the ground.

As soon as the Lord of Nightmares’ subordinates came into contact with this fog, their bodies were completely corroded away, leaving only a pile of bones on the ground.

— — -this was the Ash Apocalypse!

The power of the Apocalypse was capable of destroying everything, if any participant hiding in the world didn’t come out, only death awaited them!

Bam!

A small sound of impact.

The man wearing the yaksha mask reappeared with a megaphone in his hand, loudly declaring:

"All participants, listen up!"

"— — -this year’s competition’s version has been updated!"

"This big shot from the Samsara — — the Form of Ashes is responsible for capturing people, anyone caught by it will die."

"Or — —"

"You can challenge this expert who is invincible in single combat."

"When the challenge occurs, you may temporarily stop hiding."

"Begin!"

The Form of Ashes suddenly acted and threw a cluster of green flames towards the man wearing the yaksha mask.

The flames penetrated his body and flew straight into the distance.

"As I thought ... another illusion, you’re actually him, aren’t you?"

The Form of Ashes’s killing intent appeared on its face as it gritted its teeth.

The man wearing the yaksha mask covered his mouth and laughed so hard that his entire body was trembling: "I heard that you’ve been undefeated for the past 100 million years — —"

"I hope you’ll be able to put on a good show."

On the ground.

The Lords of Nightmares appeared one after another.

They stared at Form of Ashes without any expression — —

If that ash of Apocalypse earlier had spread across the entire world, wouldn’t I have died for sure?

It was fortunate that the rules had been changed and the version had been updated.

"Hey, the one wearing the mask, what’s the one-on-one like?"

One of the Lords of Nightmares asked from afar.

The man wearing the yaksha mask appeared surprised and shrugged: "Of course you’re going to fight it alone."

"Does that count?" another Lord of Nightmares couldn’t help but ask.

"A Pixie." the man wearing the yaksha mask clapped his hands.

A pixie in a green dress about the size of a thumb suddenly appeared from the void of space, excitedly flipping through a thick book and chattering away:

"Whoa, what a big dragon, that’s great, let me take a look — — hm, there really is such a rule — — but why is the ink on this rule so new?"

The green dress pixie dipped her hand into the last rule on the last page of the book, only to see a blob of ink on her hand.

She looked at the man wearing the yaksha mask in confusion.

The man wearing the yaksha mask shrugged: "The weather has been a bit humid recently."

"But why was there an additional rule? You have to teach me, no one can just randomly add a rule like that, that’s amazing, I want to learn it, Coach!" the green dress pixie asked with glowing eyes.

"We’ll talk about that in detail later — —"

The man wearing the yaksha mask squeezed himself in front of the pixie and whispered: "Shh, I bought two ice creams, I’ll give you one, don’t tell anyone else. Come, let’s find a place to slowly talk."

The green dress pixie opened her eyes wide, then pretended to clear her throat: "That makes sense, hm, the weather has indeed been humid recently."

She closed the book and loudly declared: "Now, let the one-on-one duel begin!"

"Wait a minute — — this isn’t fair!" the Form of Ashes hurriedly said.

No one paid any attention to him.

The man wearing the yaksha mask and the green dress pixie bowed to each other, as if thanking each other for their excellent cooperation.

They both disappeared.

Silence returned to the surroundings.

Form of Ashes looked around — — -

From the sky to the ground, the Lords of Nightmares had filled every inch of space without leaving a single gap.

All the Lords of Nightmares were staring at him with displeasure.
