Chapter 358: 0237 Climb Higher (4k for double monthly tickets)

Lu Chenzhou removed the long spear from his back, and after the Divine Weapon had absorbed the blood of the stray dog, it seemed to come back to life, with blood-colored patterns faintly appearing and disappearing. Lu Chenzhou’s eyes narrowed as the patterns continuously changed, slowly forming a picture.

It was precisely the blood-colored Heavenly Dog he had seen in his mind.

"This kind of demon, it does resemble the Heavenly Dog of myth and legend."

Having witnessed the wonders of the Void Realm, Lu Chenzhou knew that so-called myths and legends were in large part the artistic interpretations of ancient people’s encounters with existences in the Void Realm and were not entirely unfounded. If one day he encountered a creature like the Divine Dragon in the Void Realm, he would not be surprised.

The beings from the Void Realm that ancient people considered mythical surely possessed extraordinary strength, starting from the level of a Demon King. With Lu Chenzhou’s cultivation, an encounter would mean certain death.

He was apprehensive, and sought out his master that very night.

The matter had to be clarified, or else he would not be able to rest easy, fearing that the demon might not be dead, its residue lingering within the Divine Weapon, possibly attempting body seizing or turning against him one day.

...

Principal Wang was practicing Heavenly Pile at home.

He looked at Lu Chenzhou, who was covered in a murderous aura, and asked,

"What’s the matter?"

Lu Chenzhou presented the Tiger Gall Long Spear and said,

"Teacher, what is this?"

Principal Wang’s expression remained unchanged.

He took the Tiger Gall Long Spear and examined the pattern on it.

"Did you encounter a Blood Heavenly Dog?"

Lu Chenzhou told his teacher about what happened that night.

Upon hearing this, Principal Wang asked,

"A dog, broke your Golden Body?"

"Yes."

"It seems that the dog must have been a clone of the Blood Heavenly Dog."

"The Blood Heavenly Dog? Is it very powerful?"

"Not long ago, Cold Mountain Elder slew a Great Void King in Su City."

"I know of this."

"It was the Blood Heavenly Dog. This demon has not made its first appearance in the human world. A thousand years ago, it emerged, devouring several Grandmasters and convening a horde of Demon Kings and ghostly followers, attempting to wreak havoc in Jiangnan but was driven away by the great monk of Gold Mountain Monastery."

"Master Wen De?"

"Yes."

Lu Chenzhou was shocked.

That stray dog was so formidable.

Principal Wang said,

"I suspect that the Blood Heavenly Dog did not perish that day, or had prepared a backup plan before making its move, attempting to return one day... But I didn’t expect it to slip up on a seemingly ordinary Martial Artist like you."

Now the identity of the demon was clear.

Lu Chenzhou asked,

"Master, could you check if this Divine Spear has any hidden dangers?"

Behind Principal Wang, the qis of the White Dragon, Mystic Tiger, and Vermilion Bird became visible, and with a flickering light in the palm of his hand, he held the long spear, forcefully intruding upon it with an overpowering presence.

Before long, a mini blood-colored Spiritual Body was pulled out.

It bore a close resemblance to the pattern.

The Blood Heavenly Dog!

This Spiritual Body was now fading and dissipating, not far from death.

Upon seeing Principal Wang, it cried out in fear,

"Wang Changming?!"

Known as a Great Demon King, the Blood Heavenly Dog naturally had information on the strong figures in the area before descending upon Su City. It knew that the man before it was the top fighter of Su City.

Done for now.

Principal Wang sneered,

"Blood Heavenly Dog, it is indeed you."

It was difficult to completely annihilate such a Grand Demon King.

Beings like these prefer to have multiple safehouses.

Some demons even possess the innate ability to create clones.

As the Blood Heavenly Dog was close to death, it was unexpectedly calm, and instead laughed,

"Indeed, I am the king... Do you really think you can annihilate me with the methods of mere Martial Artists? My methods far exceed the imagination of you mortals."

Principal Wang said,

"It seems your clones in the human world are not limited to one."

The Blood Heavenly Dog sneered back,

"Naturally, otherwise, why would I have dared to make a move? Kill me, and one day, my mother will descend into this world and purify all of you blasphemers!"

It indeed still had several clones.

However, their strength was not significant.

The demon had intended to secretly accumulate strength through these clones until the right moment, when the clones would unite and once again forge a body for the Blood Heavenly Dog.

Although it couldn’t recover its full strength.

Returning to the realm of a Demon King would still be feasible.

Principal Wang’s intangible presence erupted, erasing the spirit of the Blood Heavenly Dog.

"Wait and see, I will return."

"When the Heavenly Dog reappears in the human world, blood will surely flow into rivers!"

The demon boasted defiantly before death.

Lu Chenzhou said gravely,

"I wonder where this clone might be hiding..."

It was his unlucky fate to be targeted by a clone of the Demon King.

Principal Wang, however, laughed and said,

"Don’t worry, as long as you are brave and continue to make progress, if any other clones dare to appear, just blow them away!" Principal Wang, at that moment, had an aura as brilliant as the blazing sun.

Lu Chenzhou, too, was inspired and his spirits soared.

He put away the Tiger Gall Long Spear, noticing the blood-colored pattern was still there.

Lu Chenzhou asked,

"Teacher... the Divine Spear doesn’t have any problems now, right?"

Principal Wang said,

"The blood-colored pattern taking shape is the Divine essence of the Tiger Gall itself. If the Divine Spear absorbs the blood of a Demon King, this will happen... You should feel lucky that this was only a clone of the Demon King, at the level of an ordinary Great Demon. Otherwise, the Tiger Gall Spear would have been burst by the demon blood, and you’ve actually benefited from this misfortune. There’s a chance for the spear to evolve into an Intermediate Divine Weapon."

Lu Chenzhou was overjoyed to hear this.

A Lower Grade Divine Weapon already possessed such power.

If it were to advance to Intermediate, he would be unbeatable below the breaking of the second barrier.

After returning to the villa,

Lu Chenzhou examined the Tiger Gall Divine Spear, and under the connection of his Heart Intent, he felt something was gestating within the spear, though he couldn’t see what was happening inside.

All he could do was patiently wait.

...

Somewhere in the Silver Eagle Federation.

Akman Town.

A stooped, burly figure danced in the moonlit night, wearing a tailcoat and killing gracefully with a sweep of its claw, as one fighter after another fell in terror.
