Di Tian Broke Through by Eating Shit, Leaving the Whole Continent Dumbfounded!

"I'll eat this shit!"

And so, under the horrified gazes of billions of living beings across Douluo Continent, Di Tian suddenly grabbed the golden-brown lump, squeezed his eyes shut, and stuffed it into his mouth as if marching to his death!

Crunch!

He chewed in great mouthfuls!

"Ugh—"

The moment it entered his mouth, the taste nearly made him throw up.

But in the next second, an incomparably violent blend of earth and fire energy erupted inside him like a volcano!

"Roar!!"

Di Tian threw back his head and let out a long roar. His black-and-gold robe burst apart in an instant, and a faint, dark golden glow appeared across the surface of his pitch-black dragon scales!

It was a sign of bloodline evolution!

With the help of that mouthful of shit, his cultivation directly broke through the bottleneck of eight hundred and ninety thousand years, advancing toward nine hundred thousand years—even a million!

"I broke through! I really broke through!!"

Di Tian was so excited that tears welled in his eyes. Unmentionable scraps still clung to his mouth, yet he grinned like a child weighing ten thousand jin. "Thank you, Ancient Void Dragon! Thank you, Void Earth-Armored Dragon!"

"This shit is delicious!"

Douluo Continent, Star Dou Forest.

Clatter.

The Silver Dragon Spear fell from Gu Yuena's hand.

She stared at Di Tian on the Sky Screen, mouth filthy, dancing around with excitement, and froze completely.

"He ate it—"

"He really ate it."

"And he broke through?"

Gu Yuena felt as though her brain couldn't keep up.

What kind of logic did that higher-dimensional world follow?

Bathwater could make someone a god? Eating shit could make someone evolve?

"What, then, had all my hundreds of thousands of years of arduous cultivation amounted to?"

Gu Yuena looked down at her immaculate skirt and suddenly felt a little disenchanted.

Did becoming stronger mean abandoning all dignity and squeamishness?

The Ferocious Beasts around her had thrown up all over the ground.

Xiong Jun cried as he vomited. "Boss, that was too much."

"To get stronger, you actually ate that—"

"I, Xiong Jun, have never admired anyone in my life, but today I admit it. You're a real madman!"

Scarlet King, meanwhile, tucked his tail between his legs. "From now on, anyone who dares say Boss Di Tian is useless, I'll be the first to bite them to death!"

"A dragon that dares eat shit—what in this world would he not dare to do?"

Meanwhile, on the Battle Through the Heavens Plane, in the Jia Ma Empire.

Wutan City, the Xiao Clan.

The atmosphere in the council hall was so heavy it felt as if water might drip from the air.

Nalan Yanran sat in the foremost guest seat, haughtiness written across her delicate, pretty face.

Beside her, Ge Ye, an elder of the Misty Cloud Sect, calmly cradled a teacup. The aura of a Seven-Star Great Dou Master faintly emanated from him, pressing down on Xiao Zhan, the Xiao Clan patriarch, until his face turned livid. Even the hand holding his teacup trembled slightly.

In a corner of the hall, the specially made iron cage that the Misty Cloud Sect had sent as a gift stood out like a sore thumb.

"Whimper—"

Dai Mubai curled up inside the cage, a thick dog chain fastened around his neck. Grease from the bones he had just gnawed still clung to the corners of his mouth.

Through the gaps in the bars, he surveyed the situation in the hall with his cloudy, differently colored eyes.

Seeing Nalan Yanran's overbearing attitude, Dai Mubai couldn't help feeling a sneering, gloating contempt. "That kid called Xiao Yan really doesn't know how lucky he is."

"She's the Misty Cloud Sect's young sect master, after all—beautiful, powerful, and backed by an incredible family."

"You're a good-for-nothing with only three segments of Dou Qi. She came all this way in person to break off the engagement and even offered a Qi Gathering Powder as compensation. That's already an enormous courtesy!"

"If it were me, I'd have dropped to my knees and agreed long ago. I could even use the chance to climb up into the Misty Cloud Sect's good graces. What an ungrateful fool!"

At that moment, Dai Mubai's servile mindset was on full display.

After Ge Ye had broken his backbone, he had instinctively learned to wag his tail and beg for mercy from the strong.

At last, Nalan Yanran set down her teacup, her clear voice drifting through the hall.

"Uncle Xiao, I've taken the liberty of coming today because I have something important to ask of you."

"This marriage was arranged on a whim by my grandfather after he'd been drinking."

"Now I'm the young sect master of the Misty Cloud Sect, and my teacher has placed great expectations on me. I'd like to ask Uncle Xiao to dissolve this engagement."

Just as expected, the instant those words left her mouth, the jade teacup in Xiao Zhan's hand was crushed into powder!

Bang!

Xiao Zhan slammed his hand on the table and flew into a rage. "Niece Yanran, you've come here today to break off the engagement. Where does that leave the dignity of my Xiao Clan?!"

"And what about the dignity of my son, Xiao Yan?!"

"Dignity?"

Before Nalan Yanran could respond, Ge Ye suddenly sneered from beside her and set down his teacup.

Buzz!

The powerful Dou Qi of a Seven-Star Great Dou Master swept across the hall, forcing Xiao Zhan, whose strength was only that of a Five-Star Great Dou Master, back down into his chair!

"Clan Chief Xiao, some things are better said plainly."

Ge Ye pointed at the iron cage in the corner, his voice full of contempt. "Look at that beast in the cage."

"It once claimed to be a prince of the Star Luo Empire, and called itself the Evil-Eyed White Tiger. It was quite the somebody in its own world, wasn't it?"

"But if it dares bare its fangs before the Misty Cloud Sect, this is what happens: its cultivation is crippled, and it's reduced to a watchdog!"

"If even a prince has to become a dog, does your Xiao Clan really hold itself above an empire?"

"The Qi Gathering Powder is already the sect master's special act of mercy. One should know which way the wind is blowing!"

"Woof! Woof, woof!"

As if to back up Ge Ye's words—and curry favor with the powerful man who held his life in his hands—Dai Mubai actually swallowed his humiliation, lifted his head, barked twice, and wagged his tail!

Xiao Zhan's face turned purple with rage, and his whole body trembled.

Xiao Yan stared fixedly at Dai Mubai, who was wagging his tail and begging for mercy, and a look of disdain flashed in his eyes.

Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy.

Pfft!

Ma Hongjun and Oscar both spat out at the same time, looking as though they'd seen a ghost.

"He barked! Boss Dai really barked—"

Ma Hongjun covered his face, feeling too ashamed to show himself. "They pointed at him and called him a beast, and he actually played along and barked?"

"Is this really the Young Master Dai who used to take us to brothels to listen to music and throw punches whenever someone crossed him?"

In the corner, Zhu Zhuqing had just turned to leave. Hearing those two dog barks behind her, she paused slightly.

She didn't look back. Her tightly clenched fist simply loosened, little by little.

"Rotten mud can never be propped up against a wall."

The scene returned to the Xiao Clan's council hall.

Just as everyone thought the Xiao Clan would bow before overwhelming power—

The young man, Xiao Yan, who had been sitting silently with his head lowered, slowly stood up.

He glanced at Dai Mubai, who was wagging his tail in servile appeal, and curled his lips into a deeply mocking sneer. "See that?"

"That's what happens when you have no backbone."

"You can become a dog just to stay alive, but I, Xiao Yan, don't want to be a dog!"

With that, Xiao Yan abruptly turned around and stared straight at Nalan Yanran, who sat high above him. "Nalan Yanran, don't try to use the Misty Cloud Sect to intimidate me!"

"Today, it isn't you, Nalan Yanran, breaking off the engagement. I, Xiao Yan, am divorcing you!!"

Having said that, Xiao Yan strode over to the table and began writing furiously!

Smack!

A moment later, a letter of divorce, with a huge character for "divorce" written on it, was slammed onto the table!

"Nalan Yanran, remember this!"

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river—don't bully a poor young man!"

"In three years, I'll go to the Misty Cloud Sect in person!"

"Then I'll make you see just how foolish your decision today was!"

At those words, not only was everyone present stunned—even all of Douluo Continent was left in shock.

Meanwhile, on Douluo Continent.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and the others all stood up, staring dumbfounded at the young man they had once regarded as a good-for-nothing.

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river—"

"Don't bully a poor young man!!"

Even through the screen, they could feel the blood-pumping fervor surging toward them.

"Good! Well said!!"

Tang San stared at Xiao Yan on the Sky Screen, a look of unprecedented approval in his eyes.

"That's what a man should be like!"

"He doesn't bow to the powerful, and he dares fight back when humiliated!"

"By comparison—"

Tang San glanced at Dai Mubai, still gaping inside the cage, his contempt utterly undisguised. "Dai Mubai, you had a starting point a hundred times better than his, and a far nobler status."

"But when the moment came, you chose to wag your tail and beg for mercy, while that young man, with only three segments of Dou Qi, chose to write out a divorce!"

"That's the difference. That's the difference between a man and a dog!!"

At that moment, in the eyes of the people of Douluo Continent, Xiao Yan's frail yet upright figure seemed taller than any Titled Douluo!

Star Dou Forest, Lake of Life.

As Gu Yuena watched this scene, a faint glimmer of light appeared in her once-desolate eyes.

"Don't bully a poor young man—"

"So that world isn't filled entirely with bullies who throw their weight around."

"At least this young man has shown me that even at the bottom, one can still hold on to one's dignity."

"If only the Soul Beast Clan could have that kind of backbone too."

Gu Yuena glanced at Xiong Jun and the other Ferocious Beasts, who were still eating grass nearby, and sighed without finishing her thought.

Elsewhere, in the Xiao Clan's council hall.

Nalan Yanran stared at the letter of divorce, her delicate body trembling and her face darkening to the extreme.

She, the dignified young sect master of the Misty Cloud Sect, had been divorced by a good-for-nothing?

"Fine! Very well, what a fine 'don't bully a poor young man'!"

Nalan Yanran gritted her teeth and snorted. "Xiao Yan, I'll be waiting!"

"In three years, at the Misty Cloud Sect, I hope you're still this tough!"

With that, she turned and left, unwilling to stay a moment longer.

Elder Ge Ye shot Xiao Yan a chilly glance, then looked at Dai Mubai in his cage and gave a mocking laugh. "A good-for-nothing and a mad dog—a perfect match."

"We'll leave this lecherous tiger with you. Take good care of him!"

Then Ge Ye swept out of the hall with the Misty Cloud Sect delegation.

Only the Xiao Clan members remained in the hall, along with Dai Mubai, still locked in his cage.

Xiao Yan slowly walked up to the cage and looked down at Dai Mubai.

Now, as Dai Mubai looked at the young man he had just despised, he felt an unprecedented fear rise within him.

Xiao Yan's eyes were simply too frightening.

"Your name is Dai Mubai?"

Xiao Yan asked mildly.

Dai Mubai nodded without thinking. He even wanted to wag his tail out of habit, but caught himself just in time, his face flushing red.

"Prince of the Star Luo Empire, Evil-Eyed White Tiger."

Xiao Yan shook his head, casually tossed the letter of divorce into the cage, and let it land over Dai Mubai's face. "Remember this: in this world, if you treat yourself like a dog, you'll only ever be a dog."

"Even if you're a prince."

With that, Xiao Yan turned and walked away, leaving behind a carefree silhouette.

Dai Mubai clutched the letter of divorce and stared at the bright red character for "divorce." His face felt as though it were burning.

He, Dai Mubai, prince of the Star Luo Empire, had been utterly defeated before this useless young man.

Above them, the Sky Screen shifted once more.

As though to make the humiliation cut even deeper, the Sky Screen didn't stop twisting the knife.

The image split in two.

On the left was Beast God Di Tian, shoveling shit in a manure pit with a blissful expression. He was even fighting with the Sub-Dragon Beast beside him over a fresh pile of Void Earth-Armored Dragon dung!

On the right, in the Tagor Desert, Sea God High Priest Bo Saixi had been turned into a human water pump by Queen Medusa. Tears streamed down her face as she greedily absorbed the medicinal residue energy in the water she used to bathe!

[ Ding! Explorer intelligence updated! ]

[ Beast God Di Tian: Adapting well. Although his job is shoveling shit, thanks to his unyielding appetite and tireless efforts, he has successfully broken through the bottleneck of eight hundred and ninety thousand years. He has also comprehended a trace of the earth element's laws in dragon dung. Evaluation: A master of the survival path, with boundless prospects. ]

[ Grand Worship Bo Saixi: Adapting well. Although she serves as a bathing tool, through her spirit of enduring humiliation and shouldering heavy burdens, she successfully absorbed the essence of the queen's bathwater, increasing her Soul Power purity by 30%. Evaluation: If you can set aside your dignity, even bathwater becomes divine nectar. ]

The moment these two evaluations appeared, Douluo Continent once again fell into dead silence.

Capital of Slaughter.

Just as Tang Chen came to for a moment, he saw Bo Saixi's assessment and spat out a mouthful of blood that shot three yards high. His eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the spot.

"Bathwater is divine liquid, too."

"He can set aside his dignity."

They'd practically peeled the skin off Sea God Island's face, thrown it into a cesspit, and stomped on it twice!

And just as the entire continent was drowning in despair and self-doubt,

the Sky Screen's icy voice rang out once more!

[ Ding! Six explorers from the Douluo Plane have been detected! ]

[ The first-stage adaptation period has ended! ]

[ The second-stage opportunity period is about to begin! ]

[ Special announcement: The next person selected will descend directly into the very heart of the Battle Through the Heavens Plane—the most mysterious and dangerous place of all, the Central Plains! ]

[ Furthermore, they will encounter the plane's true pinnacle force: the Soul Hall! ]

[ Random selection beginning---- ]

Soon, a pitch-black pillar of light, radiating an aura more terrifying than any before it, slowly gathered 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 watched the black pillar of light.

"S-Soul Hall?"

"Just the name makes it sound like nowhere good!"

"Could it be our turn?!"

And so, before the horrified gazes of everyone, the black pillar of light slammed down squarely on the rear mountain of the Clear Sky Sect.

And there, in seclusion, practicing the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer to prepare to return to the world and restore the Clear Sky Sect's renown, was the sect master of the Clear Sky Sect!
