Chapter 114: The Chosen One, It Is Coming, Everything Is Coming Soon!

Seeing Lin Potian clearly Break Defense, the Holy Emperor hurriedly explained: "But Young Master, rest assured, the Devouring Beast is a magical innate Origin Beast. It only absorbs the essence of heaven and earth, so it is absolutely clean. In this world, it can be considered one of the few things purely born of heaven and earth, untainted by even a speck of dust!"

Lin Potian shook his head like a rattle-drum and turned to leave. No matter how nicely the Holy Emperor spoke today, he could not possibly crawl out through that so-called Steel Gate!

"Hey, hey, Young Master, where are you going?" The Holy Emperor hurriedly ran over to block Lin Potian.

"I'm heading up to go out through this Devouring Beast's mouth and nose; isn't that the same?" Lin Potian rolled his eyes. If he still believed the Holy Emperor's nonsense, he would be a true fool!

"That's true, but this Devouring Beast is extremely huge and contains its own space within. Going out through its mouth and nose would likely take more than a month!" The Holy Emperor first agreed, then frowned as he stated his own perspective.

"Heh, who said we have to walk?" Lin Potian's mouth curled slightly, wearing an unfathomable expression.

"What profound insight does the Young Master have?" Hearing this, the Holy Emperor immediately became interested and leaned in.

Lin Potian stood with his hands behind his back, shaking his head as he said: "It's very simple. I have absorbed almost all the Devouring Dao Laws in these Devouring Stones, even reaching the point of assimilation. Now, as long as I want to, I can merge into the bloodline of this Devouring Beast, temporarily becoming a part of it, and go straight up. That speed will definitely not exceed half a day!"

The Holy Emperor's eyes lit up: "Young Master, this idea is indeed feasible!"

"But this way seems closer, why don't we still..."

The Holy Emperor turned his head to look at the Steel Gate his master mentioned, feeling a bit reluctant; he still really wanted to walk that way again.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"If you want to go out, go out that way. Anyway, I have a new route now, and I am absolutely not going out that way!"

Before the Holy Emperor could finish, Lin Potian immediately interrupted.

"Assimilation!"

He instantly muttered the word, his entire body suddenly enveloped by the Devouring Dao Laws, and he plunged into the bloodline of the Devouring Beast, revealing only his head as he said: "Holy Emperor, are you following or not?"

"Young Master, do I even have a choice?" the Holy Emperor asked with a bitter smile, still wanting to exit through the mysterious gate he had been longing for.

"That is certainly a no." Lin Potian didn't even hesitate and swam straight forward, not bothering to care about the Holy Emperor, absolutely certain he would follow.

Sure enough, the Holy Emperor instantly turned into a streak of light and flew into the Tongtian Tower, shouting urgently: "Wait for me, Young Master! Without me to protect you, there are crises everywhere in here, and I know where the cultivation method for these Devouring Dao Laws is, wait for me!"

"Can't wait at all!"

Although he said that, Lin Potian slowed his speed to let the Holy Emperor catch up.

On the way, Lin Potian also discovered the mangled corpse of that Heavenly King Bai Ningbing, who had long since died completely.

"Holy Emperor, thank you."

Lin Potian's heart suddenly tightened, knowing well that if not for the Holy Emperor's protection, he might have ended up with the same fate.

The Holy Emperor waved his hand: "It's nothing. You are the Young Master; the master acknowledged you, so I acknowledge you too. But one thing is one thing, you must pass the trials of the eighth and ninth levels, and you must fulfill what you promised me!"

"Mm."

Lin Potian didn't say much; it was all in his heart.

Half a day later, the man and the spirit stopped their steps and finally arrived at the mouth and nose of the Devouring Beast. They saw its mouth densely covered with countless small but sharp teeth, like a huge jagged net, flickering with cold light, trembling and closing slightly, completely sealing the path ahead.

Lin Potian was slightly stunned and turned to the side: "Why does this Devouring Beast have teeth? Could its true form be a giant fish in the sea?"

The Holy Emperor shook his head: "How should I put it? In the water, it is a fish; once it leaves the water, it becomes a bird. With one flap of its wings, it rises to the sky and travels a million miles! The master once joked that in the Northern Darkness there is a fish, its name is Kun. The Kun is so big that one pot cannot stew it, so one might as well have a bottle of Snow beer and brave the world together!"

"Kun-kun what?" Lin Potian was dumbfounded. What kind of nonsense was the Holy Emperor spouting? Why would he want a bottle of Snow beer to brave the world?

Moreover, this Devouring Beast was too bizarre. It was a fish in water, a bird out of water, and a flap of its wings covered a million miles. This, this, this... it was simply exaggerated!

"Kun-kun? I didn't say Kun-kun. Kun-kun is Brother Chicken, who dares to talk about him?"

"Oh, Young Master, when you go to the master's hometown, you will understand what I mean. It is different from here. I have been there once; it is full of mortals, with some so-called cultivators, but they are very weak."

"It is mainly technology and 'ruthless skills'; the path they take is not the same as here. However, the power of their weapons at that time was also very weak; even their most powerful weapon, the nuclear bomb, could only perish together with a cultivator of the Dragon Transformation Realm."

"But when the master and I went there, it was a million years ago. Now, perhaps technology has developed to an unimaginable degree?"

The Holy Emperor originally wanted to explain, but felt the more he explained, the more chaotic it became, so he simply stopped explaining and waited for Lin Potian to go to that place himself.

The more Lin Potian heard, the more curious and interested he became, and he couldn't help but ask: "What is the name of that place?"

Hearing this, the Holy Emperor closed his eyes as if reminiscing, thinking about the appearance of that planet. After remembering, he opened his eyes and said: "It is all ocean there, so much water, it should be called the Shuiqiu? Yes, that must be it, it is called the Shuiqiu!"

"Shuiqiu? Good, noted."

Lin Potian nodded and kept the name 'Shuiqiu' firmly in his heart, determined to calculate the coordinates of that planet and visit it in the future.

He was simply too interested in the technology and 'ruthless skills' of that world!

If they could destroy a Dragon Transformation cultivator with weapons a million years ago, then perhaps now they could slaughter Immortals with mortal bodies?

More importantly, this Shuiqiu was the hometown of Senior Xiao Buwen. Because of this, Lin Potian was even more curious. He wondered what kind of place could give birth to such terrifyingly strong people?

But now was not the time to think about this; getting out was the priority.

Lin Potian observed slightly. Judging by the constantly opening and closing teeth of the Devouring Beast, it was about to open its mouth to change air, and they could leave through this gap. However, some ink-black water was also surging in. He kept retreating and asked cautiously:

"Holy Emperor, is it dangerous to get stained by the black water in the Heishui He?" Lin Potian asked with a frown. The main thing was that he had seen no living creatures in the Heishui He earlier, yet this Devouring Beast could swim in it, which was very strange. However, the Holy Emperor had already said this Devouring Beast was an innate Origin Beast, and Origin Beasts were inherently strange, even incomprehensible!

Hearing this, the Holy Emperor's expression changed significantly, and he hurriedly stopped him: "No, Young Master! You already have an Origin Beast inside you, it is just sleeping. If you get stained by the black water, it might wake up the Origin Beast inside you and cause some trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Potian immediately retreated far away, fearing he would be stained.

But the next second, a deep voice transmitted into the depths of Lin Potian's heart!

"The chosen one, it is coming, everything is coming soon."

Lin Potian was stunned. He looked at the Holy Emperor and said irritably: "What kind of tricks are you playing? Why are you pinching your throat to transmit sound? What is coming soon?"

The Holy Emperor frowned: "I didn't speak."

"If it wasn't you, then who could it be? Don't joke around, there are only the two of us here!"

Lin Potian's tiger-like body shook. If it wasn't the Holy Emperor, then who else could transmit sound directly into his heart???

The Tongtian Command Spirit could also do it, but this aura was completely different. Lin Potian became nervous in an instant, constantly looking at the enclosed space around them.

"We are in the mouth of the Devouring Beast..."

The Holy Emperor seemed to have thought of something; his Silver Pupil shrank, his face full of horror. Lin Potian simultaneously wore the same look of horror!

"The Devouring Beast is talking!"

The man and the spirit blurted out in unison!

"It is I. You are all too slow; I do not know how long it would take to enter that world, so let me help you speed things up a bit."

This time, both Lin Potian and the Holy Emperor heard the voice of the Devouring Beast; neither the man nor the spirit understood, but they immediately understood...

Boom!

The Devouring Beast dove headlong into the Heishui He, then opened its massive maw and spat Lin Potian and the Holy Emperor out, directly immersing them in the black water!
