Chapter 700 The Three-headed Heavenly Hound

Rip! The oval black boulder finally cleaved into two.

A streak of crimson light shot up the sky in that instant.

The majestic and incredible power surged like the arrival of a Devil. Ding Hao and Tianshu only felt an overwhelming power coming at them. Given their current strength, they could not counter it at all and were immediately sent flying.

At the same time, an alluring aroma permeated the air.

“Meow, haha, my…” The Demon King, Evil Moon, turned into a streak of white light, swooping down immediately on the black boulder that had been split open. It had been waiting covetously on one side, and now had the opportunity to strike.

“Damn cat, how dare you seize my booty!” Uncle Tianshu gulped down a mouthful of blood. Fighting his injuries, he flew toward the center of the light. He opened his mouth, and a mouthful of golden teeth soared out like lightning, biting at that crimson brilliance.

Ding Hao swiveled in the void to get rid of the vibrating force, but did not go after the treasure.

His intuition told him that some terrible creature was hiding in this black boulder.

The next moment—

“Meow!”

“Ouch, my teeth!”

Two blood-curdling screams rang out.

Evil Moon rebounded like a sandbag, smashing many coral trees.

Meanwhile, Uncle Tianshu’s golden teeth were clearly not ordinary. Their brilliance dimmed a little. When they flew back into his mouth, the coarse-looking old man held his jaws, shrieking in pain.

The black boulder had been neatly sliced into two in the center. Surprisingly, its exterior was just a thin layer, no thicker than the width of a finger. Its inside was hollow, emanating a dazzling brilliance. The multicolored light resembled an immortal mist, as waves of auspicious flames burst out, as if some divine creature was about to emerge.

It was this continuous outburst of divine crimson light that made Evil Moon and Uncle Tianshu’s golden teeth rebound.

As the endless multicolored light emanated, a scarlet shadow slowly emerged from the black boulder.

The horrible aura was overwhelming, agitating the Qi of the heaven and earth. Ding Hao suddenly felt an invisible pressure here. That indescribable Qi was steamrolling in all directions. His body swayed, as if an ancient mountain was weighing down on him.

Instantaneously, the air seemed to have solidified into a frozen swamp, and the complexions of Ding Hao and Tianshu changed dramatically.

This power was at least at the Saint level.

Even Ding Hao felt like all the bones in his body were about to be crushed under the raging tides steamrolling over him. He almost could not take it.

“That is…” Ding Hao’s eyes widened.

A giant flaming “monster” had slowly arisen from the cleaved black boulder. At first, it was only a few meters tall, but in the end, had grown into a colossal beast a thousand meters tall. Its aura was astounding, as if a supreme Devil had descended on the earth. Its terrifying aura surged in this realm, causing the innate Qi of the heaven and earth to change within the surrounding kilometers.

Ding Hao could even sense the power of the rules within the heaven and earth turn a little chaotic.

This giant beast was simply too terrifying.

Ding Hao had no choice but to rely on the power of the rusted sword to counter this aura.

Uncle Tianshu lifted the black pot above his head, releasing halos of black light, enveloping his entire body.

Evil Moon’s figure changed. It grew to a height of several hundred meters, curling up in that spot like a giant tiger. Its wings had transformed into saintly white balls of light, shrouding itself inside.

This was definitely one of the most terrible creatures that Ding Hao had ever seen.

Before this three-headed behemoth, Ding Hao felt himself as weak as an ant.

“Dammit, it’s actually the Three-headed Heavenly Hound? No wonder…” Uncle Tianshu shouted, lifting up the black puppy.

“Three-headed Heavenly Hound?”

Ding Hao was shocked and observed carefully.

This giant beast had indeed the appearance of a dog. Scarlet flames twirled around its head, neck, and four legs. Its four legs were muscular, and its tail was amazingly large. It had three heads in all. There was a middle head with three eyes—all clear, attractive, and azure like the sea. On the right, there was a head with one eye. This eye was crimson like fire, exuding a strong murderous aura. On the left, there was another head with one eye, emitting a tranquil and peaceful orangey radiance.

“Woof, woof, woof…”

Mournful barks could be heard.

Ding Hao was surprised to find this poor black puppy the only one unaffected, unlike he and the other two suppressed by the aura of this Three-headed Heavenly Hound, unable to move at all. Crystalline tears fell from its large black onyx-like eyes. Its fat stumpy legs tried desperately to climb up the cleaved black boulder, but slipped down again and again.

Could it be…

Ding Hao and Tianshu thought about the same thing almost simultaneously.

The next moment—

“Howl!”

In the sky, the Three-headed Heavenly Hound was bellowing, its three strange heads opening their huge mouths.

Like a hurricane, the sound waves shattered countless trees and mountains instantaneously, and the void began to distort, visible to the naked eye. A large tract of primeval forests and mountains around the giant lake pit was almost instantly burned into ashes, turning into a barren desert.

Ding Hao and the others only felt their bodies about to shatter and incinerate at that instant.

The rusted sword buzzed in his hand. Its Supreme Power began to show signs of being spontaneously revived, without Ding Hao activating it.

The black pot in Uncle Tianshu’s hand was also shining brightly, almost like some deity was being awakened in it. It released black light again and again, as if about to engulf the sky.

Evil Moon screamed, and its white angelic wings seemed about to shatter.

Ding Hao frantically activated the Qi in his body at once. The Heaven Fire and Hell Ice Qi gushed within his body at the same time. These two surging Qi complemented the power of the Jade in Stone within his body. Finally, he got rid of the suppressing power of the Three-headed Heavenly Hound. His figure flashed and he came in front of Evil Moon, protecting it with the power of the rusted sword.

Evil Moon’s body shrank in size and it then sat on Ding Hao’s shoulder, opening mouth and roaring, staring at that giant beast in the sky.

“Woof woof, woof woof…” The black puppy yelped anxiously beside the black boulder, like it was reporting something.

The Three-headed Heavenly Hound stopped bellowing, and the vertical eye on the middle of its forehead emitted a fiery deep blue light. Its gaze swept over Ding Hao and the others, but did not stop. Finally, it rested on the black puppy on the ground.

The black puppy also stopped howling and looked at the sky with teary eyes.

The look in that deep blue eye suddenly became gentle.

The two creatures differing greatly in size looked into each other’s eyes from a distance.

Ding Hao did not know why, but he suddenly felt the pressure on his body relieved. The air was filled with a strange aura that he could not explain or understand, making everyone feel like crying.

As the brilliance flickered, the massive Three-headed Heavenly Hound slowly shrank in size. In the end, it was no bigger than an ordinary dog. Its two heads on either side also slowly disappeared.

It descended from the sky and came to the side of the black puppy.

The Three-headed Heavenly Hound lowered its head gently, stuck out its tongue, and licked the black puppy affectionately. Drop after drop, its crystalline tears fell on the black puppy…

“Could this black puppy be the offspring of the Three-headed Heavenly Hound?” Ding Hao seemed to have understood something.

“Something’s wrong!” Uncle Tianshu suddenly exclaimed, “This Three-headed Heavenly Hound is… already dead.”

“Dead?”

Ding Hao was stunned. How could it be? Just now, its imposing aura had dominated the heavens and the earth, leaving a lingering fear in his heart. How could that aura be from a dead creature?

“It’s just a remnant of its Divine Soul, formed from the real Divine Soul after the Three-headed Heavenly Hound died.” Uncle Tianshu shouted in alarm.

Ding Hao observed carefully and also detected some clues.

The body of the Three-headed Heavenly Hound was indeed a little dim, almost translucent. Looking through its body, Ding Hao could vaguely see the yellow sands in the distance. It was not a corporeal body. It was just that when the Dharma Manifestation of the Hound appeared just now, its Qi aura and activities were too shocking. As a result, Ding Hao had neglected these little details and not realized the truth.

“Ah ha, I got it! Blackie is indeed the offspring of the Three-headed Heavenly Hound… The Three-headed Heavenly Hound was a strange mythic beast in legends. Although not one of the 36 Big Dipper Beasts or 72 Earth Demon Beasts, it had a terrible bloodline and brutal strength. It was also one of the ferocious creatures of the Archean Period. They say that a full-grown Three-headed Heavenly Hound can devour the sun and the moon, and even Devils. These hounds were later subdued by the God of Death and became the guardians of the only passage from Hades to the mortal realm. Their three heads represent loyalty, killing, and courage respectively…”

Uncle Tianshu said loudly.

“We know these already. Can a coarse-looking old man like you be more direct? You’re always so long-winded and obscene-looking…” Evil Moon interrupted discontentedly.

“What do you know, you stinking cat?” Uncle Tianshu continued to explain excitedly—

“Haha, I’m so smart and valiant, I already know what has happened here…”

“If I didn’t guess wrong, this Three-headed Heavenly Hound must have come to the Bone-burying Forest to whelp…”

“To be honest, the Bone-burying Forest used to be only inhabited by those gigantic Surviving Species of the Untainted Land. No Humans or Demons could be found here. It was the perfect haven. Usually, before these gigantic beasts of the Untainted Land give birth, they will become extremely weak—with no more than one-tenth of their usual strength left. They need to go to a safe place to avoid their old enemies…”

“It’s just that the Three-headed Heavenly Hound was unlucky. It chose to come to the Bone-burying Forest at this time… normally a wise decision, but it so happened that countless masters of the Human Clan and Demon Clan were in this forest now, looking for the Sacred Hall ruins. They must have discovered this hound when it was weak.”

“After discovering it, I believe those masters of the two clans must have gone mad coveting its treasures, surrounding and attacking this hound without heeding the consequences. And so the Three-headed Heavenly Hound was killed. I don’t know what method it used to send Blackie out, when they were surrounded by so many masters. Unfortunately, due to combat injuries and its premature birth, Blackie did not inherit the slightest talents of its ancestral bloodline!”
