Chapter 472 Prodigy-Level Evolution

The return of Xiaobai is not just the return of a spirit beast for Xiaohong and even Lin Chen, but also the rekindling of a belief and a declaration of victory!

"Moo—!!!!!"

With a long, earth-shattering roar, a raging black and red flame suddenly erupted from Xiaobai's massive body!
This flame was extremely strange, possessing both the destructive aura of the abyss of hell and the sacred power of a phoenix rising from the ashes!

As the flames flickered, the surrounding space crackled under the strain, as if it were about to be burned through at any moment!

Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, a phantom of a demonic bull, even larger and more ferocious than the previous divine bull demonic body, slowly coalesced above Xiaobai's head!

The bull's head was jet black, with lava-like patterns covering its entire body. Its scarlet eyes, looking down, resembled two catastrophic stars about to destroy the world!

The mere pressure alone caused all the members of the cult and their spirit beasts present to feel their legs go weak and their souls to tremble uncontrollably!
"This...this is impossible!"

The Pope's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He pointed at the phantom of the demonic bull behind Xiaobai, his voice hoarse and shrill with extreme fear, and said:

"How could...how could the Divine Lord's soul have become like this?!"

He can't figure it out!
He just couldn't understand it!
How could the supreme divine soul of the God Lord merge with Lin Chen's spirit beast?
Moreover, judging from its aura, it seems even more terrifying than the divine ox!
Could it be that the divine ox was swallowed up by the enemy?

But those were ancient beings who were infinitely close to the realm of immortals and had survived for countless millennia!

How could I possibly lose to a spirit beast of a much lower level than myself?!

The High Priest and the ten divine messengers behind him were ashen-faced and trembling like leaves in the wind.

They could clearly sense that the aura emanating from the "Phoenix Ox" before them far exceeded their comprehension; it was an absolute crushing force that left them unable to even muster the will to resist!

Seeing his own morale on the verge of collapse, the Pope finally snapped out of his shock. His eyes were bloodshot, and he let out a final, hysterical roar:

"Everyone stay calm! He's just bluffing!"

"With so many of us and so many spirit beasts, are we really afraid of some beast?!"

"No matter how strong it is, can it really kill us all?! Charge!!"

Under his call and coercion, the members of the cult, though terrified, had no choice but to grit their teeth, drive their spirit beasts, and launch a desperate charge!
"Roar!!"

The high priest nearly ground his teeth to dust as he summoned his own level 97 "Golden Armored Dragon Rhinoceros," merging with the beast to become a golden meteor and leading the charge!

However, faced with this tsunami-like onslaught, Little White simply raised one of its front hooves dismissively.

Then, take a light step.

"Thump—!!!!!"

An invisible, terrifying force, seemingly capable of shattering the heavens and the earth, suddenly spread out from Xiaobai's center!
The black and red flames of gods and demons swept across the entire field like ripples!

The first to bear the brunt was that menacing golden-armored rhinoceros!

Its golden armor, which was said to be able to withstand all attacks, was completely melted through in a fraction of a second, just like ice and snow under the scorching sun, the moment it came into contact with the black and red flames!

"Do not--!!!"

The high priest let out a desperate cry, watching helplessly as his spirit beast, without even having time to utter a wail, was burned alive into the most primordial nothingness in those terrifying flames!
Crush!

A complete and utter crushing defeat!
Both were in the 97th grade, yet the difference between them was like an insurmountable chasm!

And this is just the beginning!
The black and red flames swept across the entire battlefield with overwhelming force!
Those so-called elite spirit beasts were as fragile as paper in the face of the divine and demonic flames!
Neither a sturdy energy shield nor a formidable physical defense could make any difference!
Screams, wails, and the sounds of spirit beasts being burned to ashes rose and fell in waves!
The entire underground cavern instantly transformed into a hellish inferno!
Li Zhen, Xu Feng, the polar bear, and the little fox all stared in disbelief at the miraculous scene before them, their minds completely blank!
Even Lin Chen was stunned.

Xiao Bai was already a prodigy, and now he's going further and further down that path.

too strong!
This is not just powerful, it's invincible!

This is practically a god or demon walking among humans!
Just one blow!
The massive spirit beast army that the cult was so proud of has completely collapsed!

On the battlefield, corpses lay strewn everywhere, and cries of anguish echoed across the land.

The surviving spirit beasts all lay prostrate on the ground, trembling, no longer daring to show the slightest intention to resist.

The trend is over!

The Pope stared blankly at everything before him, his last shred of will to resist vanishing completely with the tragic death of the High Priest's spirit beast.

He knew they had lost, lost miserably.

Little White hadn't even warmed up yet. It scanned its surroundings and found that there wasn't a single person there who could fight.

The little fox and the polar bear, on the other hand, were jumping around excitedly.

Xiaohong and the others never had any doubts about Xiaobai's strength, because in their hearts, no matter how strong Xiaobai was, he was still their boss.

Furthermore, Xiaobai's strength should be the strongest among them.

"thump!"

His knees buckled, and he collapsed to his knees, speaking to Lin Chen in an utterly desolate voice:

“If you’re going to kill someone, kill me alone… This whole thing started because of me, it has nothing to do with them, they… were just following orders.”

Upon hearing this, both Lin Chen and Li Zhen were taken aback.

Unexpectedly, this old guy actually has some sense of responsibility.

However, they are not merciful saints.

This is the Southern Burning Ancient Kingdom. The more chaotic the Divine Cult's influence becomes, the more advantageous it is for "outsiders" like them from the Azure Spirit Ancient Kingdom.

Just as Lin Chen was pondering how to deal with this group of people, Xu Feng suddenly leaned closer, lowered his voice, and a strange light flashed in his eyes:
"Brother Lin, may I... say a few words?"

Lin Chen nodded.

Xu Feng immediately pulled him aside and asked excitedly in an almost whispered voice, "Brother Lin, are you interested in this cult?"

"You're interested?" Lin Chen looked at him with surprise.

“Yes… a little bit!” Xu Feng rubbed his hands together, a sly smile playing on his lips. “I’m not interested in managing these people, but… I’m very interested in the history of this place!”

Lin Chen instantly understood what he meant.

Leather scroll!

Clues to the ancient world!
Xu Feng wanted to take this opportunity to gain the right to freely access the scriptures within the cult!
“But we are foreigners after all,” Lin Chen raised the key question, “They may not listen to you once we leave.”

"Of course not!" Xu Feng had a plan. He glanced back at the Pope kneeling on the ground and laughed, "So, why don't we just continue to let him be a puppet Pope?" "Besides, you also have a bull, and a divine bull that is ten thousand times more powerful than theirs! The Church of God reveres bulls the most, and with you, this great god, in charge, who would dare to disobey?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen's heart stirred.

Xu Feng is right. In the current turbulent situation, being able to place a pawn of one's own in the Southern Burning Ancient Kingdom and possess a powerful force that can be mobilized is a good thing that is entirely beneficial from any perspective!

He glanced at Xu Feng and asked, "You've been the vice leader here for so long, you should know their background very well. Do you think this plan is feasible?"

“Absolutely feasible!” Xu Feng said confidently. “Actually, these people don’t care who the leader is at all. To put it bluntly, they’re just a bunch of opportunists. Whoever has the biggest fist and can bring them benefits, they’ll acknowledge that as their father!”

"Alright then." Lin Chen made the decision immediately without further hesitation.

Since it's just a matter of talking, and he doesn't need to take personal responsibility, why not?
After discussing their plan, the two returned.

At this moment, the Pope and the high priest remained kneeling on the ground, not daring to breathe.

They knew very well that their lives and fortunes were entirely in Lin Chen's hands.

Lin Chen slowly walked up to the Pope and spoke in a compassionate tone, "I am not one to indiscriminately kill the innocent..."

Upon hearing this, a spark of hope was instantly ignited in the Pope's previously desolate heart!

He knew there was hope!

He immediately kowtowed deeply and said with utmost respect:

"The entire cult is willing to repent and reform! We hope that you, sir, will... guide us out of our confusion!"

Lin Chen pondered for a moment, then gave Xu Feng a meaningful look.

Xu Feng understood immediately, stepped forward, put on airs, and said with feigned anguish:
"Pope, oh Pope! Lord Lin Chen is kind-hearted and willing to give you a chance, but I fear you will remain incorrigible and continue to use this place as a pretext to harm the people..."

The Pope was a shrewd man; upon hearing this, he immediately understood its profound meaning!
This is asking him to voluntarily relinquish power!
Without hesitation, he once again prostrated himself in Lin Chen's direction, shouting with all his might:

"To preserve the righteous path of the Divine Sect and to protect the well-being of all people! I humbly request Lord Lin Chen to ascend to the position of Divine Lord and lead our sect!"

Upon hearing this, the high priest and others behind him were all stunned!
To appoint a foreigner as the god?
This is unheard of and against the rules!
But when they thought of the world-destroying demonic bull phantom behind Xiaobai, and then of Lin Chen's unfathomable strength, everyone instantly came to their senses!

rule?

In the face of absolute power, rules are nothing!

"We humbly request Lord Lin Chen to ascend to the position of God Lord!"

In an instant, a thunderous roar of loyalty echoed throughout the entire cave.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen glanced approvingly at everyone, but still waved his hand, feigning reluctance:
"I am not a citizen of your Southern Burning Ancient Kingdom, so it is against my principles for me to serve as the God Chief. But I truly cannot bear to see you go astray again and harm the people..."

He paused for a moment, then gave his final solution:

"Alright then, you will continue to serve as the Pope of the Church. Xu Feng will be the Vice-President, overseeing you on my behalf."

The Pope was overjoyed upon hearing this!
Although he is still a puppet, whose puppet isn't a puppet?

Compared to living in constant fear under the capricious and unpredictable divine ox, being under Lin Chen's command is clearly a million times better!
"When I feel that you have truly repented and reformed, I will return this position of God to you. What do you say?"

Lin Chen's last sentence, which was full of empty promises, completely shattered the Pope's last psychological defenses.

Overwhelmed with gratitude, he kowtowed repeatedly and cried out:

"Greetings, Lord God! The entire Divine Cult obeys your commands!"

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Divine Lord!!!"

The others joined in the shout, their voices shaking the heavens.

……

Surrounded by everyone, Lin Chen and his two companions were treated like gods and welcomed back to the most central palace of the Holy City.

After the Pope and others went to prepare for the "enthronement ceremony," only three people remained in the palace.

Li Zhen then eagerly asked, "Lin Chen, what exactly happened in the Beast Taming Space? Little White... how did it suddenly wake up and become so strong?"

Lin Chen didn't hide anything and recounted in detail how he lured the enemy into the trap and used the power of the demonic bull to kill the divine bull's soul.

Finally, he said apologetically:

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hide it from you. It’s just that Demon Bull told me that the old guy’s soul power is extremely strange and he might be secretly listening to our conversation. To be on the safe side, I didn’t dare to tell you beforehand.”

Upon hearing this, Li Zhen suddenly understood. Far from minding it at all, he patted Lin Chen on the shoulder and smiled sincerely:

"I think Little White now is probably capable of fighting even against those true level 99 spirit beasts!"

Lin Chen's eyes were also filled with anticipation.

Those spirit beasts couldn't even last a single move against Xiaobai, so they couldn't even let him witness Xiaobai's true strength.

Just then, the Pope and the high priest, among others, entered with fawning expressions, carrying a pile of glittering gold objects in their hands.

A golden scepter symbolizing supreme power, a dazzling crown inlaid with rare and precious jewels, and a magnificent divine robe woven from celestial silkworm threads.

"Your Holiness!" the Pope said respectfully, as if he were the most devout believer, "This is a symbol of your status! Please accept it!"

Lin Chen wanted to refuse, but seeing their attitude that they would die to prove their point if they didn't accept it, he exchanged a glance with Li Zhen and reluctantly accepted it.

At this moment, Xu Feng cleared his throat and said to the Pope:

"Pope, that book, 'The Life of Brahman,' that you've been hiding from me and unwilling to show me, can you finally bring it out now?"

Upon hearing this, the Pope quickly nodded and bowed, saying:

"Of course! Of course! Vice Master, please wait a moment, I'll go and get it right away!"

After saying this, he left in a hurry.

Lin Chen asked curiously, "What is the 'Biography of the Brahman'?"

Xu Feng's eyes gleamed with the excitement of exploration and thirst for knowledge. He lowered his voice and said mysteriously:

"That's a rare book that records the oldest legend of the Southern Burning Kingdom! I suspect... it contains what I'm looking for!"
