"I'll eat this shit!"
Just like that, under the horrified and desperate gazes of the billions of living beings across the Douluo Continent, Di Tian was seen grabbing that golden, hardened lump. Closing his eyes, he shoved it into his mouth with the resolve of a man facing his own execution!
Crunch!
He chewed it in large mouthfuls!
"Urgh—"
The moment it entered his mouth, the taste nearly made him vomit.
But the next second, a violent, mixed energy of earth and fire attributes exploded within his body like a volcanic eruption!
"ROAR!!"
Di Tian threw his head back and let out a heaven-shaking roar. His black-gold robe instantly shattered, and a faint, dark-gold luster emerged upon the surface of his pitch-black dragon scales!
That was the sign of bloodline evolution!
With the help of this mouthful of shit, his cultivation directly broke through the 890,000-year bottleneck, surging toward 900,000 and even a million years!
"I broke through, I actually broke through!!"
Di Tian was moved to tears, the indescribable residue still lingering in his mouth, yet he laughed like a ten-thousand-pound child: "Thank you, Void Ancient Dragon! Thank you, Void Earth-Armored Dragon!"
"This shit is truly fragrant!"
Douluo Continent, Star Dou Forest.
Clatter.
The Silver Dragon Spear in Gu Yuena's hand dropped to the ground.
She stared at the screen, watching Di Tian—his mouth covered in filth, yet dancing with excitement—and she turned completely to stone.
"He ate it—"
"He actually ate it."
"And he even broke through?"
Gu Yuena felt her brain could no longer process this.
What kind of logic existed in that higher-dimensional world?
Bathwater can make one a god? Eating shit can make one evolve?
"Then what was the point of my hundreds of thousands of years of bitter cultivation?"
Gu Yuena looked down at her pristine, spotless skirt and suddenly felt a sense of profound dullness.
Could it be that to become stronger, one must abandon all dignity and cleanliness?
The surrounding fierce beasts were vomiting all over the ground.
Xiong Jun wept as he retched: "Boss, you're too ruthless."
"To become stronger, you actually ate that—"
"I, Xiong Jun, have never admired anyone in my life, but today I do. You are a truly ruthless man!"
Chi Wang, on the other hand, tucked his tail between his legs: "From now on, if anyone dares to say Boss Di Tian is no good, I'll be the first to bite them to death!"
"A dragon who dares to eat shit—is there anything in this world he wouldn't dare to do?"
Meanwhile, in the Battle Through the Heavens Plane, Jia Ma Empire.
Wutan City, Xiao Clan.
Inside the meeting hall, the atmosphere was so heavy it felt as if it could drip water.
Nalan Yanran sat in the seat of honor for guests, her exquisite, pretty face filled with arrogance.
Beside her, Ge Ye, an elder of the Misty Cloud Sect, sat composedly holding a teacup. The aura of a seven-star Great Dou Master radiated faintly from him, pressing down so heavily that the Xiao Clan leader, Xiao Zhan, turned ashen, his hand trembling slightly as he gripped his own teacup.
In the corner of the hall, the specially made iron cage that the Misty Cloud Sect had brought as a gift looked particularly jarring.
"Wuwu—"
Dai Mubai curled up inside the cage, a thick dog chain tied around his neck, oil stains from the bone he had just gnawed still lingering at the corners of his mouth.
Through the gaps in the iron cage, he observed the situation in the hall with his murky, heterochromatic eyes.
After seeing Nalan Yanran's overbearing attitude, a trace of schadenfreude and disdain rose in Dai Mubai's heart: "This brat named Xiao Yan really doesn't know when he's well off."
"She is the Young Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect—beautiful, powerful, and backed by an immense power."
"You're just a piece of trash at the third stage of Dou Qi. For her to come personally to break off the engagement and even give you a Qi Gathering Powder as compensation is already giving you immense face!"
"If it were me, I would have been kneeling and licking her boots to agree, and I could have used the opportunity to climb the ladder of the Misty Cloud Sect. What an ignorant fool!"
At this moment, Dai Mubai's slavish mentality was fully exposed.
After his spine was broken by Ge Ye, he had instinctively learned to wag his tail and beg for pity from the strong.
Finally, Nalan Yanran set down her teacup, and her crisp voice drifted through the room.
"Uncle Xiao, I have come presumptuously today because I have a serious matter to request."
"This marriage was merely a casual promise made by my grandfather while he was drunk."
"Now that I am the Young Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect and my teacher has placed such high hopes in me, I would like to ask you, Uncle Xiao, to annul this engagement!"
As expected, the moment these words left her lips, the jade teacup in Xiao Zhan's hand was crushed into powder!
"Bang!"
Xiao Zhan slammed his hand onto the table, his hair standing on end with rage. "Niece Nalan, you come here today to break off an engagement—where does that leave the dignity of my Xiao Clan?!"
"Where does that leave the dignity of my son, Xiao Yan?!"
"Dignity?"
Before Nalan Yanran could speak, Ge Ye, who was standing to the side, let out a cold sneer and set down his teacup.
Hum!
A tyrannical Dou Qi belonging to a Seven-Star Great Dou Shi instantly swept across the room, forcing Xiao Zhan, who only possessed the strength of a Five-Star Great Dou Shi, back into his chair!
"Clan Leader Xiao, it is better to speak plainly."
Ge Ye pointed toward an iron cage in the corner, his tone dripping with contempt. "Look at that beast in the cage."
"It once claimed to be a prince of the Star Luo Empire, known as the Evil-Eyed White Tiger. In that world, he was quite the figure, wasn't he?"
"But if he dared to bare his fangs before my Misty Cloud Sect, this would be his fate: his cultivation crippled, reduced to a watchdog!"
"If even a prince of an empire must act like a dog, is your Xiao Clan somehow more noble than an entire empire?"
"The Qi Gathering Powder is already an act of extraordinary grace from our Sect Leader. One must know how to read the room!"
"Woof! Woof woof!"
As if to cooperate with Ge Ye's words and curry favor with the powerhouse who held his life in his hands, Dai Mubai actually endured the humiliation, tilted his head back to bark twice, and even wagged his tail!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan's face turned the color of liver, his entire body trembling with fury.
Xiao Yan stared fixedly at the fawning Dai Mubai, a flicker of disdain flashing through his eyes.
Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy.
"Pfft!"
Ma Hongjun and Oscar both spat out their drinks simultaneously, their faces twisted in disbelief.
"He barked—Boss Dai actually barked..."
Ma Hongjun covered his face, feeling as though he had no face left to show anyone. "He was pointed at and called a beast, and he actually cooperated by barking?"
"Is this really the same Young Master Dai who used to take us to the brothels and start fights at the slightest provocation?"
In the corner, Zhu Zhuqing, who had just turned to leave, paused slightly upon hearing the two barks from behind her.
She did not look back, but her tightly clenched fists slowly loosened.
"Mud, after all, cannot be plastered onto a wall."
The scene returned to the Xiao Clan's main hall.
Just as everyone assumed the Xiao Clan would bow before the might of the powerful, the youth Xiao Yan, who had been silent and head-bowed, slowly stood up.
He glanced at the fawning Dai Mubai in the cage, a sneer of extreme mockery curling his lips. "Do you see?"
"This is the fate of those without a backbone."
"Some would rather be a dog to stay alive, but I, Xiao Yan, refuse to be a dog!"
With that, Xiao Yan spun around abruptly, looking Nalan Yanran straight in the eye. "Nalan Yanran, you don't need to use the Misty Cloud Sect to pressure me!"
"Today, it is not you, Nalan Yanran, who is breaking off the engagement—it is I, Xiao Yan, who is casting you aside!"
Having said this, Xiao Yan strode to the table and began to write furiously!
Slap!
Moments later, a blood-written letter with a massive character for "Divorce" was slammed heavily onto the table!
"Nalan Yanran, remember this!"
"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; do not bully a young man because he is poor!"
"Three years from now, I will personally ascend the Misty Cloud Sect!"
"When that day comes, I will let you know just how foolish your decision today truly was!"
Once these words were spoken, not only were those present stunned, but the entire Douluo Continent was shaken to its core.
Meanwhile, in the Douluo Continent, at the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and the others all stood up, staring in shock at the youth they had previously dismissed as a waste.
"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river..."
"Do not bully the young because they are poor!!"
Even through the screen, they could feel the surging passion radiating toward them.
"Good! Well said!!"
Tang San stared fixedly at Xiao Yan in the light screen, an unprecedented sense of identification flickering in his eyes.
"This is what a man should look like!"
"He does not bow before power, and he dares to strike back against humiliation!"
"By comparison—"
Tang San glanced at Dai Mubai, who was still dazed in the cage, his disdain undisguised. "Dai Mubai, you had a starting point a hundred times better than his, and a status far nobler than his."
"Yet, at that moment, you chose to wag your tail and beg for pity, while that youth with only three stages of Dou Qi chose to write a divorce letter!"
"This is the gap; this is the gap between a man and a dog!!"
At this moment, Xiao Yan's thin yet upright figure appeared taller in the eyes of everyone on the Douluo Continent than any Titled Douluo!
Star Dou Forest, Lake of Life.
Gu Yuena watched this scene, and a faint glimmer of light ignited in her previously despairing eyes.
"Do not bully the young because they are poor—"
"That world isn't entirely filled with bullies who use their power to oppress others."
"At the very least, this youth has shown me that even when one is at their lowest, one can still possess dignity."
"If only the soul beast clan could have such backbone."
Gu Yuena glanced at Xiong Jun and the other fierce beasts grazing nearby, sighed, and said no more.
On the other side, the Xiao Clan hall.
Nalan Yanran looked at the divorce letter, her delicate body trembling, her face turning incredibly ugly.
She, the dignified Young Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect, had actually been divorced by a piece of trash?
"Good! A very good 'do not bully the young because they are poor'!"
Nalan Yanran gritted her teeth and let out a cold snort. "Xiao Yan, I will wait for you!"
"Three years from now, atop the Misty Cloud Sect, I hope you can still be as tough as you are today!"
With that, she turned and left, not wanting to stay for even a moment longer.
Elder Ge Ye cast a cold, chilling glance at Xiao Yan, then looked at Dai Mubai in the cage, and sneered, "A piece of trash and a mad dog—a perfect match."
"Keep this lecherous tiger; raise him well!"
After saying this, Ge Ye flicked his sleeves and led the Misty Cloud Sect members away.
Inside the hall, only the members of the Xiao Clan remained, along with Dai Mubai, who was still locked in the cage.
Xiao Yan walked slowly to the cage and looked down at Dai Mubai from above.
At this moment, Dai Mubai looked at the youth he had despised just a moment ago, and an unprecedented fear welled up in his heart.
Because Xiao Yan's gaze was too terrifying.
"Your name is Dai Mubai?"
Xiao Yan spoke indifferently.
Dai Mubai nodded subconsciously, even wanting to wag his tail out of habit, but he realized what he was doing and his face flushed red.
"Prince of Star Luo, Evil-Eyed White Tiger."
Xiao Yan shook his head, tossed the divorce letter into the cage, and let it land on Dai Mubai's face. "Remember, in this world, if you treat yourself like a dog, then you will only ever be a dog."
"Even if you are a prince, it is the same."
Having said that, Xiao Yan turned and left, leaving behind only a dashing silhouette.
Dai Mubai clutched the divorce letter, staring at the bright red "divorce" character on it, feeling a burning, stinging pain on his face.
He, Dai Mubai, Prince of Star Luo, had been thoroughly defeated by this trashy youth.
Above the sky, the images shifted once more.
As if to make this blow even more profound, the sky did not stop its psychological torment.
The screen split in two.
On the left was the Beast God Di Tian, shoveling dung in a cesspit with a look of genuine satisfaction, even fighting a Sub-Dragon Beast to snatch a fresh piece of Void Earth-Armored Dragon excrement!
On the right was Bo Saixi, the High Priest of the Sea God, located in the Tagor Desert, acting as a human faucet for Queen Medusa, weeping while greedily absorbing the medicinal residue energy from the bathwater!
[Ding! Explorer intelligence updated!]
[Beast God Di Tian: Adapting well. Although his job is shoveling dung, thanks to his tenacious appetite and unremitting efforts, he has successfully broken through the 890,000-year bottleneck and comprehended a trace of Earth Law from the dragon dung. Evaluation: A man of the 'dog-eat-dog' path, with a boundless future.]
[High Priest Bo Saixi: Adapting well. Although she is a bathing tool, thanks to her spirit of enduring humiliation, she has successfully absorbed the essence of the Queen's bathwater, and her soul power purity has increased by 30%. Evaluation: As long as you can let go of your dignity, bathwater can also be divine liquid.]
Once these two evaluations appeared, the Douluo Continent fell into a deathly silence once again.
Capital of Slaughter.
Tang Chen, having just regained consciousness for a fleeting moment, saw Bo Saixi's evaluation and spat a mouthful of blood three zhang high before rolling his eyes back and fainting dead away.
"Bathwater is also divine liquid."
"Able to cast aside dignity."
This was practically tearing the skin off Sea God Island's face, throwing it into a cesspit, and stomping on it twice for good measure!
Just as the entire continent was immersed in despair and self-doubt, that cold voice from the sky rang out once more!
[Ding! Six explorers from the Douluo Plane have been detected!]
[The first phase, the adaptation period, has concluded!]
[The second phase, the opportunity period, is about to begin!]
[Special Announcement: The next chosen individual will descend directly into the most core, mysterious, and dangerous region of the Battle Through the Heavens Plane: the Central Plains!]
[Furthermore, they will encounter the true peak power of that plane: the Soul Hall!]
[Random selection beginning----]
Soon, a beam of light as black as ink, radiating an aura more terrifying than any before it, slowly condensed above the Douluo Continent.
This time, the direction it locked onto was none other than the Clear Sky Sect!
On Clear Sky Peak, Tang Xiao and the five elders turned deathly pale as they stared at that black pillar of light.
"Soul... Soul Hall?"
"Just the name alone sounds like a wretched place!"
"Could it be our turn now?!"
And so, under the terrified gazes of everyone, that black beam of light slammed down, hitting the back mountain of the Clear Sky Sect with unerring precision.
That was the very place where the Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect was in secluded cultivation, practicing the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique in preparation to emerge and restore the prestige of the Clear Sky Sect!
