Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 330 The Way Out for the Vicious Dog: Evolution
After patting the golden dog's head, Louis summoned the puppeteer's threads and inserted them into Demilia's body. At the same time, the power of the Yang God surged into it and began to explore extensively.

From body to soul, nothing was overlooked.

Faced with Louis's current strength, it was difficult for someone of Baron-level power, equivalent to a demonic spirit, to hide anything. His physical strength, magical power, and mastery of magic were quickly revealed.

The only problem lies in the body and the soul.

Unlike ordinary creatures, this vampire's body and soul are somewhat strange.

Physically, it was alright, because Louis wasn't a true scholar. He only sensed its powerful vitality and the unique way some organs functioned, but he couldn't find anything else. For truly in-depth genetic information, that would have to be done by experts.

The real problem lies clearly in the soul.

True to its reputation as a cursed lineage, its soul does indeed possess something akin to a curse, imprinted deep within its soul, almost a symbiotic relationship. It both brought power, transforming it into a vampire, and made this lineage of vampires ugly and weak.

Louis tried to burn the curse with karmic fire and the flames of the Yang God, but apart from the karmic fire making a slight movement, he accomplished nothing.

The conclusion was that while the curse was not particularly powerful, its essence surpassed that of a great demon, and was at least a demon god-level technique.

Having no other choice, after memorizing the outline of the curse and preserving a part of its limbs for research, Louis handed it over to Khorne.

"Alright, Khorne, go."

Khorne, who had been impatient for a while, pounced on him instantly.

Then, amidst Demilia's frantic screams...

Khorne opened his gaping maw and swallowed the giant bat bit by bit, not wasting a single morsel.

As soon as it was swallowed, Khorne's body changed. The fur that used to drip sweat like blood began to glow red. Every hair began to cling to the skin and tightly wrap around the body. In just a few seconds, a blood-red cocoon that completely covered Khorne appeared on the spot.

Faintly, one could also hear the increasingly heavy heartbeat from inside the blood cocoon.

Sure enough, Khorne consuming this vampire did indeed have some benefits; it seems some changes will occur, though it's unclear whether they will be benign or malignant...

Louis separated a wisp of Yang God power and merged it into the blood cocoon to begin his investigation.

After a while.

Louis withdrew the power of the Yang God and nodded.

The changes in Khorne were confirmed, and were most likely benign. He could detect that Khorne's physical condition was constantly improving, and there was no degeneration in his limbs, which guaranteed the basics.

This change will not last long; it is estimated to end in about a day.

After temporarily resolving the issue of Khorne, Louis began making arrangements for the other two dogs.

After all, we cannot favor one over the other.

Of the three dogs, Coal Ball has the most potential and the best looks, Korne has worked the hardest and made the most contributions, and Gold is the most loyal to him and has the widest versatility.

Now that Khorne has a way out, what's next...?

Louis looked at the gold.

Monsters are found in folk tales, myths, legends, and historical records in the Eastern Kingdom; wherever there is written record, they can be found to some extent.

In fact, demons and monsters are two different kinds of things, but later the terms were merged to become the term for those who are separated from the demon beast group, can take human form, and have demon power.

The history of demons is very long, longer than that of humans. Their origins can even be traced back to the innate divine beasts and spiritual beings of ancient times. It was only after their descendants gradually degenerated into ordinary beasts that they embarked on the path known as demons in order to gradually ascend to higher levels.

Most demons possess ancestral bloodlines of varying levels and concentrations. Even a coal ball could follow the path of a demon, potentially heading towards the Tengu or other powerful canine demons.

However, given its lazy nature, Louis planned to make it his messenger after he ascended to godhood, and have it follow the path of a divine beast.

As for Golden, as a mountain-chasing dog with a strong fighting spirit and considerable combat power, it is most suitable for the demon path. Moreover, it can also be deified in the future. In this way, the combination of the two may give it a chance to become the legendary Howling Celestial Dog that searches the heavens and the earth.

Coincidentally, Louis had captured a monster during his previous trip to Japan. Although the monsters there took a somewhat unorthodox route, growing stronger by absorbing the power of an emotion called fear, it was still a shortcut and a good opportunity to accelerate his cultivation as a Gold Saint.

With the Shrine of Zhaoming left behind by Louis as an aid, the path to gold will be much smoother.

"Gold, would you like to go on a trip..."

After a brief explanation, Huang Jin readily nodded in agreement.

no way.

Seeing that Khorne was about to break through first, if it didn't break through, it would really become the number two forever. It also wanted to be the number one!

"Okay, I'll take you there right away."

Snapped!
Snap your fingers.

A flash of green light.

The Spirit Realm began sending the gold to Neon at an extremely fast speed.

After sending the gold away, Louis looked at the coal lumps.

The lump of coal, no bigger than a forearm, was shrunk into a round ball and wagging its tail gently at Louis's feet. Its chubby and adorable appearance was cute even if it did nothing.

After grabbing the little coal-faced boy and giving him a good squeeze, Louis also arranged what to do next for him.

The coal ball let out a whistle and started circling around Louis.

Louis remained completely unmoved.

Cute as she may be, she's got real talent too.

Even if it turns you into a divine beast in the future, you can't just lie around waiting to be officially recognized.

"You should go down and work out properly. Look at all that fat on you, or you'll turn into a dog meat hotpot one day."

It was then handed over to the Black Armor Squad, where it will undergo a year of special training to help them solve various paranormal events.

Coal Ball looked back at Louis every few steps, its head hanging low, whimpering, but it never heard Louis call to stop it. In the end, it could only follow the black-armored warrior out.

After arranging everything, Louis stretched.

Maria and Emma approached from either side, and Louis put his arm around one of them. The three of them chatted about cultivation levels as they walked toward the room.

"Hmm? You feel like you've broken through?" "That's right. Your accumulation has long been sufficient. It's just that because of the special nature of your soul, you need to accumulate more than ordinary people. Now that you've accumulated enough, just break through directly. Don't worry, I'll protect you."

"Um... here, take this, and then, I'll lend you a hand..."

After handing the blood pill to Maria, Louis led the two of them to sit on the large bed.

After a while.

On a spiritual level, there is a communion between gods.

On a practical level, Louis heavily sponsored projects to help Maria achieve her breakthrough in cultivation.

In fact, given the current difference in cultivation levels between the two sides, unless both are completely drained, simply combining Yin and Yang cultivation would be of little help to Louis. On the contrary, it would be of great help to them, enough to help them take that step at this crucial moment.

In the end, they still benefit.

However, how much help they can receive depends on themselves. Louis can certainly hold on until the end of time, but they cannot.

Twenty-four hours pass in the blink of an eye.

Inside the room, Maria, looking completely satisfied, was fast asleep. Her aura was now identical to Emma's, indicating that she had clearly broken through to the next level and the project sponsorship had been successful.

On the other side of the bed, Louis's sponsorship project had also ended, and he laid down Emma, ​​who was exhausted and muttering curses and shouts of "beast" in a hoarse voice.

The Myriad Illusions Clothing automatically conformed to his body, transforming into a khaki casual outfit.

Louis turned and glanced at the messy room, then shook his head.

He cast a newly developed cleaning spell on them, set up a barrier around the room, and then left the room.

……

Inside the pristine white battle room.

The transformation of Khorne was nearing its end. Dense cracks appeared on the surface of the blood cocoon that emitted a red glow, and through the cracks, one could vaguely see the hideous and terrifying monster inside.

Outside the room, squads of soldiers patrolled back and forth.

When Louis arrived, they bowed one by one and opened the door to the room.

As soon as he entered, Louis sensed the power of Khorne's soul through the soul connection between master and servant. No, it wasn't just his soul; the key was his physical body!

Even though the blood cocoon had not completely broken, the intense heat of blood still rushed towards me.

The changes to Khorne this time seem to be quite significant, almost like an evolution.

Louis wasn't in a hurry. He sat down cross-legged and continued to study the formation while keeping an eye on Khorne's changes, recording every single one of them.

soon.

The transformation of Khorne was nearing its end. A deafening heartbeat began to emanate from the enormous blood cocoon, growing louder and more rapid. Cracks rapidly multiplied on the surface of the blood cocoon, covering the entire cocoon in the blink of an eye.

"Three, two, one."

boom!
The blood cocoon burst open with a loud bang.

Fragments of crimson blood shot out, embedding themselves deeply into the alloy walls and the ground, demonstrating considerable power.

After the blood cocoon burst open, a large amount of steaming hot air and an extremely strong smell of blood rose from the spot.

Snapped!Snapped!
Khorne strode out of the rising steam with broad steps.

At this moment, Khorne had undergone a tremendous change. His size had increased by only one size, and his eyes had turned deep red. His gaze was filled with intense malice and bloodlust. Any ordinary person who saw him would tremble involuntarily, or even lose their senses.

Its fangs became thicker and sharper, its body was full of muscles and explosive power, and its tail swung flexibly behind it, with an additional drill-like tip. Although it was also blood-red, it was full of metallic texture. When it touched the ground slightly, it made a huge dent with just a light touch.

That's not all. The biggest change in its body is that its wings, which are large enough to cover its entire body, have completely transformed into something resembling bat wings, with traces of blood flowing on them. However, the membranes are not fragile; they even reflect a blood-red glow, suggesting that its physical defense is not weak.

At first glance, you can tell it's a ferocious beast!
After emerging from the fog, the ferocious beast did not roar to vent its power. Instead, upon seeing Louis and the others, it immediately ran over, lowered its body, and meekly bowed its head.

It's so incongruous that such a ferocious beast, which can be judged solely by its appearance, would behave so docilely.

Louis smiled and stroked the fur on its head. The fur was as hard as iron needles and had a faint feeling of sucking blood. Strangely, Louis sensed two different power attributes, yin and yang, in Khorne.

"Khorne, let me see your power."

Khorne nodded.

It straightened up and roared at the battle doll at the end of the room. The next second, deep red blood spread from its body, turning into extremely fast tentacles that shot out and turned the alloy-forged battle doll into scrap metal in the blink of an eye.

The next second, the body emitted a red light again, drawing back the released blood. The body's condition began to improve slightly: strength, speed, stamina, recovery ability...

It can be described as comprehensive.

In addition, it showed Louis its teeth, as if to say something.

Louis understood Khonne's meaning with a slight sense of it.

In addition to these, it also acquired the vampire's Embrace ability. Of course, this ability changed somewhat in its case, but its core essence was largely retained.

It can infect creatures weaker than itself by releasing its own essence and blood. These creatures will have stronger recovery abilities and a certain degree of control over blood. These abilities all originate from it, and they will be completely obedient to it, giving it absolute dominance.

There are certain requirements regarding the number of offspring. Currently, it is only equivalent to a viscount, and its power is limited. It can only infect a maximum of ten barons. If it wants to obtain more "offspring", it needs to continue to improve its strength.

In addition, it has acquired a system for further evolution by consuming more high-quality blood and higher-ranking vampires to increase its own rank.

That's right. It is completely unbound by the vampire system, has no "patriarch", and has no suppressed upper limit. It is both a special vampire and a ghost eater.

If we had to put it in perspective, Louis would be its "patriarch".

As long as there is a superior being above it in the vampire hierarchy, it can continuously devour and replace it until finally, perhaps even becoming a prince and turning all vampires into livestock in a sheepfold.

It can be said that it is now the nemesis of vampires.

This evolution can be described as a complete transformation. From then on, Khorne was no longer the one with the lowest potential among the three dogs.
