Chapter 113: The God-Forsaken Dog Sheng Huang!

"Sheng Huang, Sheng Huang!"

Lin Potian called out from the bottom of his heart. The Tongtian Tower in his hair glowed faintly for an instant, and Sheng Huang emerged immediately, looking puzzled as he asked, "What is it, Young Master?"

Lin Potian rolled his eyes uncontrollably and retorted irritably, "You ask me what it is? Wasn't it you who said this altar had a fortuitous encounter? Well, this is great, I've been eaten by some monster I don't even know!"

"Young Master, could it be that being eaten now doesn't count as a fortuitous encounter?"

Sheng Huang shook his head and chuckled softly, leaving Lin Potian completely stunned. "What, a fortuitous encounter? Are you kidding me?"

"Ahem... it truly is a fortuitous encounter. If you don't believe me, follow me." Sheng Huang gave a dry cough, smiled awkwardly, and began to walk forward.

Lin Potian endured the nausea in his heart, stepped on the stomach wall of this monster, and followed Sheng Huang forward.

He didn't know how long they had walked; Lin Potian felt he had already passed through the monster's stomach and was walking through its intestines. After walking for a while longer, something resembling a dark black stone appeared ahead. Sheng Huang stopped there, pointed at it, and said, "Young Master, this is the fortuitous encounter!"

Lin Potian leaned in to take a look, his expression one of shock. Inside this dark black stone was a very dense amount of Devouring Dao Law!

Just as Lin Potian was about to bend down to pick it up, the smug smile on Sheng Huang's face froze, and he hurriedly stopped him: "Young Master, absolutely do not pick it up!!"

"Why? Is there something dirty on it?" Lin Potian immediately withdrew his hand, took half a step back, and looked at the black stone nervously. He thought to himself, could this thing be dangerous? But the Devouring Dao Law inside was truly incomparably tempting, making Lin Potian feel an itch in his heart.

Sheng Huang first nodded, then immediately shook his head, and said with a sheepish smile, "It's not exactly like that, but it is indeed a dirty thing. This thing is the excrement of that Devouring Beast. Young Master, you can just sit and absorb it. It only looks hard like a stone; if you reach out your hand, then..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Potian nodded slightly. So the giant monster was called a Devouring Beast, and this dark black stone...

"Wait, what is 'excrement'? What kind of new term is that?" Lin Potian didn't understand; he didn't understand at all.

Sheng Huang thought for a moment, stroked his chin, and said, "'Excrement'—'Rice' on top, 'Field' in the middle, 'Together' on the bottom. Guess the character?"

"Let me think... Feces?"

"Ugh!"

Lin Potian was dumbfounded and nearly vomited. He had just been thinking that after picking it up and confirming it was fine, he would swallow and refine it. Thinking about it like that...

"Ugh!"

Lin Potian finally vomited his guts out. He looked at Sheng Huang with a resentful expression. "It's a good thing you reminded me early, otherwise I would remember this for the rest of my life!"

Sheng Huang scratched his head, turned his head away, too embarrassed to look directly at Lin Potian, and said, "Young Master, while it's fresh out of the oven, hurry and absorb the Devouring Dao Law within it. Otherwise, if it cools down later, the effect won't be as good!"

"Stop, stop, stop! Don't say another word!"

"Forget it, you should just go back to the Tongtian Tower!"

The more Lin Potian heard, the more nauseated he felt. Although for the sake of becoming stronger, this bit of hardship was nothing to be ashamed of and not worth mentioning, Sheng Huang really needed to shut up!

"Alright, alright, alright, I'll go back, I'll go back. Young Master, remember to call me when you're done absorbing it, and I'll take you out!"

Whoosh...!

He turned into a streak of light and returned to the Tongtian Tower.

"Finally, it's quiet."

Lin Potian didn't want to see it to avoid feeling disgusted. Looking at the dark black stone—which he had originally found quite pleasing to the eye but now found hard to look at—he gritted his teeth, sat cross-legged, and began to absorb it from a great distance away.

Boom, boom, boom!

As he continued to refine it, streams of pure Devouring power surged into Lin Potian's body. It was as if countless black holes were spinning within his blood vessels, and his skin gradually began to glow with a faint, eerie light...

"Alright, next one, next one!"

After finishing one piece after another, Lin Potian stood up quickly, as if he had transformed into a heartless excrement-remover. He suddenly had the feeling of panning for gold in feces?

Time passed in a flash. Ten days, a full ten days. Lin Potian tirelessly finished absorbing all the dark black stones. The Devouring Dao Law swirling around his body became increasingly dense, reaching his current limit. The small plot of land within his dantian belonging to the Devouring Dao Law was completely filled, and his stomach was bulging. Only then did he stop, feeling unsatisfied, and summoned Sheng Huang.

As soon as he came out, Sheng Huang looked at Lin Potian's slightly protruding stomach and laughed loudly, "Haha, Young Master, this fortuitous encounter was great, right?"

"Great!"

Lin Potian immediately responded with a smile. To be fair, this fortuitous encounter was indeed quite good; it had directly maxed out the Devouring Dao Law that had been the weakest in his body!

Sheng Huang smiled smugly, "That's right. With me assisting you, Young Master, you can rest assured and put your heart in your stomach! Now that you're full, let's go out. There are even greater fortuitous encounters outside!"

Lin Potian's face immediately darkened, and he retorted at once, "I didn't eat!"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Huang immediately winked and gestured, "I understand, I understand. No need to explain."

"I really didn't eat it!"

Lin Potian suddenly lost all his strength and composure. Sheng Huang's words were simply soul-crushing, but he really hadn't eaten it—the kind of thing he would swear on!

"Sheng Huang, how do you know so much about this Devouring Beast?" Lin Potian asked.

Sheng Huang waved his hand and, while walking forward, said, "Because in the past, the Master was also swallowed by this Devouring Beast. He also absorbed these Devouring Stones, so Young Master, you don't need to feel unbalanced."

"Young Master, follow me. I'll find the exit."

"Senior Xiao was also eaten by this Devouring Beast? And even absorbed this... feces, ahem... Devouring Stone?" Lin Potian was slightly startled, and his heart did indeed feel much more balanced!

If even an supreme powerhouse like Senior Xiao had absorbed it, then it wasn't shameful for a small fry like him to absorb it!

But he really hadn't eaten it!

"Alright, Young Master, we've reached the gate."

Sheng Huang continued to walk forward. Not long after, a strange "gate" slowly appeared ahead.

But this so-called "gate" looked more like a wriggling ball of flesh, shrinking and expanding from time to time.

"What kind of gate is this?" Lin Potian was dumbfounded. Looking at the constantly shrinking ball of flesh, he had an extremely ominous feeling!

"What kind of gate? Let me think about what this gate is called."

Sheng Huang thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered and said firmly:

"The Master used the academic terms from his hometown to tell me, it seems it's called... Steel Gate?"

Lin Potian frowned, "I don't understand. Say it simply!"

Sheng Huang didn't hesitate at all and waved his hand, "It's just the exit where the Devouring Beast excretes."

Upon hearing this, Lin Potian's expression changed drastically, and he turned green!

This god-forsaken dog Sheng Huang, first he made him absorb that stuff, and now he wanted him to crawl through that stuff. Was he even human? Why did he say everything so nonchalantly?

At the thought of having to go out through this so-called Steel Gate later, Lin Potian's mind collapsed. Steel Gate?

There isn't even any steel!
