The only patch of skin that remained white amid the blackness outlined the shape of a 'stomach'. With it being the upper left corner of one's abdomen, it matched the location of a human's 'stomach'. Without a doubt, the reason for the sudden abnormality was due to the human organ that is known as the 'stomach'!
Shi Xiaobai's eyes lit up as he hurriedly pondered.
The skin around his stomach had returned to its whiteness and it emitted the warmth as expected from a human body. Clearly, it was because the 'Holy Tree Sin Poison' around his stomach had been cleansed.
But why would his stomach automatically cleanse the toxins of the 'Holy Tree Sin Poison'?
Also, why was it his stomach?
Was there something special about his stomach?
Wait a moment!
Stomach?
Stomach!
An organ that holds and digests food!
And when food is mentioned, it would then be no doubt that it was the…
The Power of Taotie!
Shi Xiaobai's eyes lit up. He quickly thought of something special about him…The Power of Taotie!
It was a power that left Shi Xiaobai most confused. It had not only changed his 'tastebuds' and 'food cravings'. It made ordinary rocks taste like chicken and other inedible foods to become delicious 'delicacies'. He even had the perverse ability to convert the energy contained within objects into 'nourishment' that could strengthen his physical constitution!
With the Power of Taotie, his 'physical toughness' rapidly rose from an ordinary level to that of a monstrous level that allowed him to clash with King Leonis head on. The abilities and effects could be deemed a bug in life.
Shi Xiaobai had once pondered over the origins of the Power of Taotie. After all, it was an ability he had when he woke up after falling unconscious. It was as though a pie had fallen from the sky.
Shi Xiaobai knew deep down that the Power of Taotie definitely had a secret behind it. After some thinking, he finally thought of a possibility!
The Power of Taotie could very likely be the Absolute Choice's reward!
Recalling that back on the sixth level, Shi Xiaobai had gone through twists and turns, repeating the Absolute Choice several times before he finally completed the A-level choice that required him to [Push down the raging Ka Xiaozi]. However, he had stolen the 'evil seed of fury’ power from Kali, causing him to lose all reason. Therefore, he did not know what A-level reward he had obtained!
But on careful thought, the Power of Taotie had only appeared after he regained his consciousness after his rage ended.
Be it from the time the Power of Taotie appeared or the 'unscientific' nature of its ability, it seemed to match the A-level choice of [Push down the raging Ka Xiaozi]!
However, Shi Xiaobai did not have any evidence. Furthermore, he had the 'insatiable greed' of hoping that 'there might be another A-level reward', so he could not be completely sure of his guess.
The Power of Taotie was of unknown origin but it was not necessarily the A-level reward.
But now, with Shi Xiaobai in a dire state, the Power of Taotie had come to the forefront!
What is going on?
The Power of Taotie had modified his stomach, so now his stomach could even absorb and convert the 'Holy Tree Sin Poison'?
Or could it be that the Power of Taotie had changed the storage of food in his stomach, resulting in it having the ability to cleanse the 'Holy Tree Sin Poison' into nutrition?
These two guesses arose in Shi Xiaobai's mind. Immediately, he took out a piece of jade and stuffed it into his mouth!
Shi Xiaobai had just plundered some pieces of jade and accessories from the Infernal King's chamber. He had planned for them to be a snack, but now, they were critical!
Shi Xiaobai constantly stuffed the jade pieces and accessories into his mouth. As time was tight, it was as though he was eating cotton candy. He would swallow after a few chews. In less than ten seconds, more than ten pieces of jade and accessories had been swallowed into Shi Xiaobai's stomach.
He tried to sense his body and immediately felt his stomach heat up slightly. Looking down, his eyes widened immediately!
He saw the stomach-shaped white outline expand!
Just like in an endless dark sky, the glow of the tiny stars had extended its range!
Even if it was a tiny range, it was enough to shake the Earth!
Every cloud had a silver lining. The Power of Taotie was able to convert food into anti-poison that could cleanse the 'Holy Tree Sin Poison'!
Shi Xiaobai grinned as his eyes became as bright as the moon!
How could This King's path end here?
However, Shi Xiaobai's joy only lasted for a short while. He quickly frowned because, in the snow-white desolate plains around him, there was only empty whiteness. There was no plants or stones at all. It was completely empty!
The energy from more than ten pieces of jade and accessories was only sufficient to cleanse a tiny bit of the poison. In this god-forsaken world, how was he to find sufficient food?
He had a method to save himself, but he did not have the materials to do it!
Shi Xiaobai frowned as he began pondering once again!
Food, food, food!
Where could he find food?
Suddenly, Shi Xiaobai's eyes lit up slightly. He hurriedly reached into another pocket and pulled out a golden ball!
Master Conquest Ball!
This was also the Absolute Choice's reward. It could conquer any non-human biological creature, allowing it to become a pet that was absolutely obedient to it.
Shi Xiaobai pressed the button that stuck out from the ball's surface and opened the Master Conquest Ball. A white beam flashed and a snow-white colored mini-poodle appeared.
The snow-white poodle was about the size of a palm. It floated and gave a standing posture. Its two front paws were curled to its chest as it cocked its head. It surveyed its surroundings with its large and dewy black eyes, and when it saw Shi Xiaobai, it immediately gave an excited bark. It pounced at Shi Xiaobai and placed its paws on Shi Xiaobai's face. It extended its tongue to habitually lick him with affection.
But as it stretched its tongue out midway, it was stopped by Shi Xiaobai.
"Woof?"
The little white dog barked with a look of confusion. It finally realized that its owner was somewhat different from before. His owner's skin was black and he looked very weak. Immediately, it let out a sad whine, making it resemble a weak-willed and worried child's emotions.
Shi Xiaobai stroked the little white dog's head in amusement like he was playing with a doll.
Up to today, he still found it hard to believe that the little white dog was the extremely greedy and extremely haughty Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign.
The Master Conquest Ball had 'conquered' the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign, causing it to lose its memories. It reduced its intelligence to that of a child's. Furthermore, it was completely obedient and loyal to Shi Xiaobai. It went from a terrifying beast at the Level Lord grade to a tiny pet that professionally took on an adorable act.
The black mastiff that was a few hundred meters tall was a Master Conquest Ball difference away from the cute and obedient mini-poodle.
Upon careful thought, the Absolute Choice's rewards were nearly all 'illogical'. They seemed to attempt to break the 'balance of one's worldview' of the world?
Shi Xiaobai did not ponder too deeply into it. He turned his head to gesture to the little white dog to not approach him as it could be infected by the 'Holy Tree Sin Poison'.
Shi Xiaobai had naturally not opened the Master Conquest Ball to summon the little white dog as 'food'. He was not sick and perverse enough to eat his own pet. Although the little white dog's value was still unknown, its aesthetic value was debatable and it seemed useless, as the 'Pet of the King', its fate was definitely not to be 'eaten up'!
Shi Xiaobai opened the Master Conquest Ball completely and overturned it. He forcefully shook it a few times but nothing came out of it.
Frowning slightly, Shi Xiaobai attempted to use his 'will' to order the Master Conquest Ball.
Splash!
The moment he willed it, a huge pile of crystalline objects fell from the Master Conquest Ball!
Diamonds! Piles of diamonds fell out!
Shi Xiaobai's eyes lit up as he grinned. He was feeling slightly rejoiced.
Back on the sixth level, Shi Xiaobai had spent twenty minutes to smash the diamond monster that blocked Dragon Mountain Valley into smithereens with 'Turtle-speed Divine Punch'. It had then shattered into a pile of tiny diamonds.
Back then, Shi Xiaobai did not care too much about worldly possessions like diamonds. The rookies were embarrassed to take it. Kali, as her role of 'Ka Xiaozi', had cleverly suggested that the diamonds could be considered as Shi Xiaobai's well-intentions. Therefore, the rookies had each taken one out of gratefulness. However, there had been too many diamonds in the pile, so there was still quite a big pile left.
Shi Xiaobai had originally planned on ignoring the pile of diamonds when the little white dog suddenly requested to come out of the Master Conquest Ball. The moment it came out, it began eagerly picking up the diamonds on the ground. It later realized that its tiny body could not pick up more than a few diamonds. It had then looked at Shi Xiaobai with a pleading look.
Having his heart softened, Shi Xiaobai had thrown all the diamonds on the ground into the space within the Master Conquest Ball. He allowed the 'greedy' little white dog to be able to roll around a diamond laden bed 'alone', so as to comfort its loneliness as a bachelor dog.
He had never expected that those diamonds would become his life-saving straw!
