As those above do, those below follow. With the War God leading the way in crafting them, Great Wei's high-level combatants followed suit, using their own ribs and hair to create torches.
It even became a legendary tale at the time.
Once the evil and wild gods within Great Wei's borders were exterminated, these torches were sealed away in the Great Wei Treasury.
The one in Jade Dog's hand naturally wasn't the War God's rib, but it did belong to a high-sequence individual.
Over half the hair on it was white, and there were even clear scorch marks in some places.
“By my will, let there be light!”
Jade Dog thrust the torch toward the drop of blood. The blood was drawn toward it, but just as it was about to land on the torch, a large hand reached out from thin air and snatched the Sequence 3 blood away.
This bizarre scene left everyone stunned.
The one with the strongest reaction was Lyu Xiaofeng, because he recognized the person—it was his father!
Even though his father was headless, with black smoke billowing from the stump of his neck, he still recognized his father's body!
“Dad!”
His voice snapped Jade Dog and Red Fox out of their daze. Without a moment's hesitation, the two decisively attacked the headless corpse!
Currently, the only way to deal with the evil god before them was the God-Slaying Torch!
But their fuel had been stolen. How could they let this go?
However, before they could reach it, the headless corpse dove into the sludge.
This sludge, which could corrode and assimilate everything, was like its personal swimming pool.
“Roar!!!”
The evil god let out a roar and attacked the Demigods once again.
The one controlling the headless corpse was, of course, Yin Yang.
The moment the headless corpse was covered by the sludge, the black shadow in Yin Yang's divine kingdom began to move.
This was the first time Yin Yang had seen it move since it entered his divine kingdom.
It only vibrated slightly, but the divine kingdom trembled in waves, as if it were struggling to hold together.
A trace of its aura leaked out through the headless corpse. The moment this aura appeared, Yin Yang sensed an overwhelming wave of grievance and fury!
This emotion was coming from the evil god outside.
It felt as if a bullied child had finally found their parent.
Subsequently, a flood of memory fragments appeared in the divine kingdom. Like a projector, they played out clearly before Yin Yang's eyes.
Countless little people holding torches began to slaughter its believers.
Those people boiled and ate its followers, using their blood to smear its divine statues.
Finally, unable to endure such atrocities, it took to the field itself, only to be sealed by those people and have its authority stripped!
From the very beginning, it had been a trap set specifically for it.
And the tool they used to seal it was the God-Slaying Torch!
Just as Yin Yang saw this, Jade Dog pulled out a torch outside.
The moment the evil god saw the torch, it lost control instantly, and its memories became extremely bloody!
In a daze, Yin Yang realized something.
This evil god was once a follower of the black shadow in his divine kingdom.
“Roar!!!”
After Yin Yang took the blood, the evil god went completely berserk. The sludge transformed into venomous snakes, coiling toward the Demigods.
Seeing this, Jade Dog gritted his teeth and slashed his own wrist, using his blood to light the torch.
Boom!
Flames surged. The sludge snakes that had just lunged forward quickly turned back into ordinary sludge and fell.
This was one of the functions of the God-Slaying Torch!
It could greatly weaken the power of a god!
The evil god's avatar before them was only occupying a Demigod's body; the power it could exert was naturally limited. It was worlds apart from an evil god descending in its true form.
Thus, under the torch's light, the sludge was reduced to ordinary mire.
That said, Jade Dog wasn't having an easy time. The divinity in his blood was too low, leading to massive consumption.
At this rate, he would lose his combat capability in less than five minutes.
Fortunately, Red Fox could also hold out for another five minutes.
Inside the divine kingdom, Yin Yang was still watching the projection.
Although the images had no sound, Yin Yang could still understand some of it.
The clothing and armor those people wore were from the early days of Great Wei's founding.
In other words, this evil god was likely one of the entities targeted during the War God's era of extermination.
Or rather, one of the entities that had been wiped out.
And the actions of the Great Wei army weren't as noble and righteous as the history books claimed.
To lure these deities out, they used every means possible. Some of the tortures were so horrific that even Yin Yang, who was used to seeing such things, was left in awe.
The number of people who died because of this was incalculable.
...
Command Center.
“Sir, the aura there is getting stronger and stronger. It seems an evil god has revived. Shouldn't we go take a look?”
The secretary looked at the City Lord with concern.
The City Lord didn't even look up, continuing to flip through the documents in his hand.
“The moment I step out of the Command Center, those bastards in Central City will go harass my teacher. Why bother?”
“With Xia Yitiao there with the sealed object, nothing will go wrong.”
“But that is an evil god, after all.”
“Heh.”
The City Lord gave a disdainful sneer.
“Just an avatar. It can't even force the sealed object to be used. A god?”
Seeing this, the secretary paced back and forth a couple of times.
“Sir, how about I go apply for a sealed object to send to Da Di?”
The City Lord waved his hand.
“Uncle Guo's sealed objects aren't so easy for anyone other than the Security Bureau Chief to borrow.”
“Enough. You don't need to worry. The evil god's power is already declining. Those people from the Baleful Stars have some skill, after all.”
Hearing this, the secretary finally sighed in relief and bowed before leaving.
...
“Eh? The evil god's power is declining. Something's wrong with it!”
Jade Dog was very excited. Although he didn't know why, the evil god's power was indeed declining after its outburst—and very rapidly at that!
The evil god seemed to realize this as well, and its body merged into the sludge.
The writhing sludge fell silent for a moment before quickly reorganizing and transforming into a sludge giant dozens of meters tall!
It reached out to swat at Jade Dog and the others in the sky, but the Demigods were too agile for it to catch.
Black Death Lolita's expression shifted repeatedly.
“True God, can you hold on?”
“If you can't, give me what you promised first!”
The evil god still gave no response, which infuriated Black Death Lolita.
“You bastard, are you trying to stiff me?”
Within the sludge, the headless corpse sat cross-legged. At this moment, it seemed to have become a transit station, watching as the evil god's power slowly merged into the divine kingdom.
Yin Yang watched as a smaller black shadow appeared behind the original one.
It was still a blurry humanoid figure, and it still showed no reaction.
As the evil god's power poured in, the new black shadow grew bit by bit.
In the distant residential house, Yin Yang opened his eyes, looking completely bewildered.
“I haven't even figured out the first shadow, and now a new one is here?”
As he was thinking, the evil god's avatar at the Lyu family manor began to swell rapidly.
It was going to self-detonate!
