Chapter 163: The Heaven-Swallowing Divine Emperor!

"Are you here to see my master?"

The next second, the giant dog spoke, its mottled, graying fur revealing that it had perhaps lived for countless ages.

Lin Potian heard this and asked tentatively, "Senior Dog, is your master the person who resides here on the Ninth Layer?"

"Mm."

The giant dog merely gave a grunt, then frowned in a human-like manner, clearly displeased, and said coldly, "Call me Tuntian Shendi."

"Shendi?"

Lin Potian was startled; what did this giant dog just say?

Tuntian Shendi?

A Shendi is the highest existence, on the same level as an Immortal Emperor. Could this giant dog actually be a Shendi? Good heavens, Lin Potian exclaimed "good heavens" in his heart!

Out of respect, Lin Potian cupped his hands and said, "Junior Lin Potian pays his respects to Tuntian Di!"

After speaking, he watched the giant dog's reaction. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, Lin Potian felt a shock in his heart—it really was a Di!

This giant dog was not lying; it truly was a supreme powerhouse of the Shendi level!

The reason was simple: if this giant dog were not a Di-level powerhouse but was just spouting nonsense, it would be punished by the Heavenly Dao for accepting someone's obeisance!

Since it was not punished, it meant it was not spouting nonsense, but was truly a Di!

Immediately, the giant dog's eyes, large as stars, sized Lin Potian up and it said in surprise, "No wonder you could come here; so you are the successor of Xiao Zhugong!"

Lin Potian heard this and immediately cupped his hands in reply, "Exactly!"

But no sooner had the words left his mouth than the giant dog's attitude changed abruptly. Fierce light erupted in those massive eyes, a savage sneer curled its lips, and it said viciously, "Hmph, that fellow Xiao Buwen, to think he still dares to let his successor in—is he truly not afraid of death!"

As it spoke, its massive body shook violently, its gray-white fur standing on end like wolf-hair brushes in a gale. A heart-palpitating pressure surged from within its body, and as its front paws slammed down, the ground shattered with a boom, dust flew, and it pressed toward Lin Potian with a menacing aura!

The sight was as if it wanted to swallow Lin Potian alive!

The Saint Emperor immediately appeared from nowhere, hurriedly blocking the giant dog, sweating profusely as he said, "Brother Dog, listen to me, the matter from back then..."

Before he could finish, the giant dog looked at him coldly, "This matter has nothing to do with you, get lost!"

"I only want him dead; if you say another word, you die too!"

The giant dog let out a roar like thunder. Its massive body carved a gray afterimage through the air, and with an overwhelming momentum, it lunged fiercely at Lin Potian!

"It's over, what is this situation?"

Lin Potian could not even move, having been immobilized. He felt a breath of death rushing toward him, his pupils constricted, and the hair all over his body stood on end. At this critical moment, the Saint Emperor quietly pointed a finger, and Lin Potian was finally able to move. He rolled to the side with all his might, narrowly dodging this fatal blow!

However, the wind from the giant dog's claws still grazed his hem. In an instant, his robe shattered, and the force, sharp as a blade, left a bloodstain on his skin deep enough to see bone!

"Young Master, it is angry. Just let it hit you a few times and it will be fine. Take this, it should be able to withstand it!"

The moment Lin Potian dodged the giant dog's attack, the Saint Emperor, sharp-eyed, took advantage of the chaos to quietly flick a warm, glowing Jade Pendant into Lin Potian's palm, transmitting his voice.

"You want me to let it hit me a few times?" Lin Potian retorted via voice transmission, but he did not blame the Saint Emperor; it seemed that even the Saint Emperor could not afford to provoke this giant dog!

Or perhaps they were very familiar with each other, and the Saint Emperor did not want to clash with this giant dog.

As the Jade Pendant entered his hand, a warm current seemed to flow through Lin Potian's entire body, and his defensive power doubled!

"What, you actually dodged it? Heh, survive two more of my moves and I will let you go!"

The giant dog's eyes widened in anger, and it roared again, the sound shaking the wilderness. Its massive body carved an even swifter gray shadow through the air, aiming straight for Lin Potian's vitals!

At this moment, the Jade Pendant in Lin Potian's hand suddenly erupted with dazzling light, like a great sun, enveloping his entire body. That light contained ancient and powerful Runes, forming a translucent shield that forcibly blocked the giant dog's thunderous strike!
