Evil God Revives! Not a Dog, What's a Dog Barking?

The...

Not far away, the Demon Suppression Division members exchanged bewildered glances. Moments ago, Lin Chen had cried out in alarm, seeming worried the man might die—only to blow his head to pieces the very next instant.

What kind of move was that?

Was he afraid the enemy would have a complete corpse after death, or worried he wouldn't die thoroughly enough?

Lin Chen's actions left the Demon Suppression Division utterly stunned. Before him, these Fusang Cultivators couldn't even die easily!

"It's over!"

The Demon Suppression Division members breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over to Lin Chen. "May we ask your name, sir?"

"Lin Chen."

"If not for Brother Lin Chen's rescue today, we would have been in grave danger," the leading Demon Suppression cultivator said, his face full of gratitude.

"No need for courtesy. I came here on a mission as well." Lin Chen smiled calmly, then looked at the four Demon Suppression cultivators. "Besides, the trouble isn't over yet!"

Not over?

At these words, the four Demon Suppression members froze in confusion, staring at Lin Chen uncomprehendingly. All the Fusang Cultivators were dead—how was it not over?

"Have you forgotten the Fusang Cultivators' goal?" Lin Chen paused slightly before continuing. "Look at the sky and the ground!"

At his reminder, everyone quickly glanced up at the sky and down at the ground, their expressions shifting in unison.

The barrier above had not yet vanished, and the blood remaining on the ground was steadily seeping into the earth. The ritual to revive the Evil God was still active!

The leading Demon Suppression cultivator stared at the headless corpse on the ground, his face darkening to an extreme. "So... that bastard was using himself as a blood sacrifice at the end?"

The man hadn't been committing suicide at all—he was performing a blood sacrifice. Since he couldn't kill Lin Chen and the others, he could only offer himself up through death!

No wonder Lin Chen had shattered his head—he was trying to stop the blood sacrifice?

But why not destroy the entire body instead of just the head? Was the Blood Qi True Flame not powerful enough?

Of course... no.

This was entirely intentional on Lin Chen's part. He had deliberately refrained from using the Blood Qi True Flame on the other Fusang Cultivators' corpses as well, all to let the blood sacrifice continue.

The Evil God—that was a Big Catch. He wanted to see what kind of thing it was and how much origin essence it had!

Suddenly, the barrier surrounding them collapsed, transforming into a dark gray mist that plunged straight into the ground. The next moment, a powerful aura erupted from beneath the Ancestral Hall.

The leading Demon Suppression cultivator's face changed drastically as he hurriedly shouted, "Not good—protect the people in the Ancestral Hall!"

"You protect the people. I'll handle that thing!"

Lin Chen now understood why the Demon Suppression Division had been holding the Ancestral Hall so stubbornly—there were civilians inside. To prevent the enemy from stealing his prey and interfering, he took on the task of dealing with the Evil God himself.

"Be careful. This Evil God is no simple foe," the leading Demon Suppression cultivator said gravely.

The civilians inside the Ancestral Hall were still unconscious, unable to retreat. With so many people, they couldn't possibly evacuate them; they could only continue to hold the hall.

But the Demon Suppression members knew that the key to this battle was Lin Chen. If even he couldn't stop the so-called Evil God, they stood no chance at all.

The moment the Demon Suppression Division retreated into the Ancestral Hall, the ground before its gate exploded. A pitch-black creature burst forth—a massive dog with two heads, tusks, and a body the size of an elephant.

"Damn... a dog this big?"

Staring at the enormous hound, Lin Chen was visibly taken aback. He hadn't expected the Evil God the Fusang people spoke of to be a giant dog!

"Insignificant mortal, I am a god—the Dog God!" The left head of the giant hound opened wide and spat out a sentence.

"Blasphemer, die!" The right head growled, its maw gaping as a jet-black stream of light shot toward Lin Chen.

Facing the incoming attack, Lin Chen dared not be careless. He fully activated the Blood Qi True Flame within him and met the stream of light with a single punch.

Boom~

The Blood Qi True Flame clashed with the black light. With a thunderous roar, the dark stream dissipated.

"Nothing special!"

Lin Chen curled his lip and looked at the giant hound. "What Dog God? This is Great Xia, not your Fusang. Here, you're just a dog. And isn't dog shit still shit?"

So venomous!

At the entrance to the Ancestral Hall, the Demon Suppression Division members once again experienced the poison of Lin Chen's tongue, as he directly compared the Dog God to dog feces!

"Damned human, how dare you insult This God! Even if you have some strength, you must die today!" Both heads of the giant hound erupted in fury. Its form flickered, and in an instant, it was before Lin Chen, a massive claw swiping at him.

"Blood Qi True Flame, full power!"

Facing the strike, Lin Chen channeled his Blood Qi True Flame to its limit and met the descending claw head-on.

Bang~

The enormous claw was stopped cold by Lin Chen's fist. Surprise flickered in the giant hound's eyes, but before it could react, the Blood Qi True Flame erupted, engulfing its body in an instant.

"Ah—woof—woof—"

A piercing scream rang out, yet as black qi churned, the Blood Qi True Flame enveloping the hound began to extinguish, vanishing completely in the blink of an eye.

Lin Chen looked at the now-shrunken giant hound and couldn't help but laugh. "Still claiming you're not a dog? What was that barking just now?"

The Blood Qi True Flame wasn't omnipotent. If the gap in strength wasn't too great—like with the Mummy earlier—it could still be resisted.

Moreover, the giant hound before him was called a god by the Fusang Cultivators, so its strength was certainly not weak. It might even have some peculiar traits that allowed it to withstand the Blood Qi True Flame, which wasn't entirely unexpected.

However, the giant hound didn't block the Blood Qi True Flame without cost—its shrinking size was clear proof of that!

"This God will kill you!"

The giant hound's two heads roared in fury as two streaks of light burst from its massive jaws, shooting toward Lin Chen.

"Still barking? Today, Young Master will beat you into a dead dog!"

Lin Chen moved, charging straight into the enemy's attack. Man and hound clashed instantly, locked in battle.

The giant hound was no pushover. Relying on its enormous body and two heads, it managed to fight evenly with Lin Chen at full strength.

"This guy is way too fierce!"

"Fourth Order—at least a Fourth Order powerhouse!"

The Demon Suppression Division members watched the fierce struggle between man and hound, stunned. But this level of combat was beyond their ability to intervene.

Every attack Lin Chen landed weakened the giant hound's form. Though the hound's strikes were mostly blocked by Lin Chen, some still landed on him, inflicting minor injuries.

Fortunately, the Phoenix Undying Body's regenerative power was astonishing. Such wounds had no real effect on Lin Chen!

Boom~

Lin Chen threw a punch, and with a thunderous crash, the giant hound's body was knocked back. Now only the size of a water buffalo, its form had also grown noticeably thinner.

Lin Chen sneered at the hound from a distance. "A god? This?"

"Foolish mortal, you have no idea of a god's power!" the hound's left head snarled, while the right head roared, "Let me show you what a god truly is!"

Both heads of the giant hound opened wide. In an instant, countless black mists surged from the ground, continuously merging into the hound's body. In the blink of an eye, it had returned to its original size.
