Chapter 1562 - With This Ladle, I'm Invincible
Chapter 1562: With This Ladle, I’m Invincible
In the rotating center of a vast region of stars, there was a huge planet shrouded in dense immortal energy. This was the home planet and the capital of the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty.
Now, the planet’s surroundings were filled with a pitch-black aura, which was full of evil and sin, corrupting everything.
There were many pale bone warships floating in the starry sky. One after another, experts of the Titan Divine Dynasty flew out of these huge vehicles and charged at the planet. These experts were no longer themselves but Soul Demons, the evil creatures who represented sin!
Terrifying ancient beasts lay across the starry sky. Although they were enormous and bloated, they were extremely formidable weapons of war. With every attack they made and every sweep of their barbed tails, some Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty warships would be shattered into pieces.
Countless Gods had fallen. The starry sky was full of God’s blood, God’s remains, and howling souls. War was cruel, and it always brought indelible wounds!
The air was filled with loud and melodious phoenix cries, as well as radiant and blazing flames. Many phoenixes flew out of the planet, their colorful and beautiful tails fluttering in the air.
While the Soul Demon had ancient beasts, the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty had the phoenix. Although these phoenixes were not as huge as the ancient beasts, they were numerous and well trained.
For a moment, countless phoenixes of different kinds—whether dark phoenixes, fire phoenixes, or life phoenixes—flew across the sky and hovered around the ancient beasts. Their feathers turned into the sharpest arrows, constantly shooting at the behemoths they had surrounded.
The Xiayi Divine Dynasty had dragons, and the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty had phoenixes. Such a distribution was quite balanced, giving the two divine dynasties a lot of advantages against the ancient beasts.
The ancient beasts’ bodies were as huge as stars. Powerful explosions were created when the phoenix feathers hit them, but the attacks failed to do any damage to them. Instead, each time these monstrous beasts lashed out their barbed tails, they hit a phoenix.
The phoenixes that were hit cried miserably, their blood splashing in the starry sky and forming a very sad scene. However, without exception, their bodies always started to burn on their way down. In the blazing flames, they would all be reborn, and then they would rejoin the battle to attack the ancient beasts again.
The battle in the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty was hard and brutal. One God King after another rushed out of the capital and kept fighting the Soul Demons. The energy fluctuations caused by various weapons, including swords, knives, spears, and staffs caused great waves that filled the sky.
A black-haired woman in a golden battle robe stood proudly in midair. Her every strike and every move always caused a great change in the void. She was simply too strong! Her strength was astounding because she was the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty’s Empress! Compared with the Xiayi Divine Emperor, she had the advantage of being young.
In her hand was a longbow. It was the Phoenix Cry Bow, the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty’s divine artifact. It was crafted with the bones of nine hundred and ninety-nine ancient phoenixes, and its arrows were all made from the heart feathers of the phoenixes, which gave them supreme power and made them the best weapon to kill the Soul Demon. She could kill one Soul Demon with every arrow.
As the ruler of the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty, the Empress stayed at the capital. She was accompanied by four Protectors, who were all top-grade God Kings and whose attacks made the Soul Demons tremble in fear.
While every great world under the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty’s rule had been turned into a battlefield, the one in the heart of the divine dynasty was the bloodiest because here was where the focus of the Soul Demon’s attack was.
The Empress’s face was icy cold. Facing the Soul Demons, she did not hold back her strength in the slightest bit. There was an old proverb that said those who were not her kind were sure to be of a different heart, and she knew this very well. This was a battle for the survival of mankind.
In fact, if the Xiayi Divine Dynasty had not informed her, which allowed her to prepare in advance, the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty might have been caught off guard by the Titan Divine Dynasty, which had turned into a Soul Demon kingdom.
No one knew exactly how these Soul Demons were born and how they multiplied into such a terrifying force. However, everyone knew that they fed on humans and were the natural enemy of mankind. Therefore, the war between them was inevitable!
“Attack!”
Although she was a woman, the Empress’s fighting will was not at all weaker than the Xiayi Divine Emperor’s. Under her leadership, the morale of her army climbed higher and higher.
Led by the four Protectors, the army stabbed into the Soul Demon army like a sharp sword and started a fierce battle. For a time, the human army actually showed signs of suppressing the Soul Demons.
Meanwhile, in the imperial palace of the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty…
The magnificent palace was built on a hill. It was surrounded by dense immortal energy and all kinds of immortal flowers and sacred trees, making it look like a paradise.
In the great hall of the palace, a woman in armor sat cross-legged. She was the fifth Protector of the divine dynasty and a top-grade God King as well.
She wanted very much to go out and kill the enemy, but she had a more important task, which was to protect the crown princess. Yes, she was ordered by the Empress to protect the crown princess at all costs.
The crown princess was so gifted that she surpassed all geniuses, ancient or present. Since the Empress brought her back, she had conquered everyone with her talent. In front of her, the Xiayi crown prince, who had comprehended two supreme Laws of the Universe, was just a weakling.
“Ah Mo, I shall be safe in the palace. Go and help Her Majesty…” said a graceful figure from behind a curtain. Her voice was gentle and very pleasant to the ear.
The fifth Protector, Ah Mo, opened her eyes, her gaze as sharp as a knife. She shook her head, but her gaze was looking through the ceiling at the battle in the starry sky…
…
The Empress was frowning. Although the current situation was very good for the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty, she still did not dare to relax. This was because there was a great sense of crisis lingering in her mind. ‘What could it be?’ she thought to herself.
Looking at the God Kings and the Soul Demons who were fighting each other fiercely, her heart felt a little heavy. Suddenly, her pupils constricted. ‘No… Something is not right… Where is that Soul Thirteen? Where is the Soul Demon that that old man Xia Yuhe said would bring a great crisis?!’
The Empress’s heart suddenly beat wildly. Soul Thirteen had not appeared since the beginning. It did not make sense at all! Did he go to the Xiayi Divine Dynasty instead?
Just as she was in a complicated mood, a thought struck her, and she raised a hand. The next moment, a flickering array appeared before her, and an old man emerged in the array.
“The Soul Demons attacked the Xiayi Divine Dynasty’s capital… But Soul Thirteen didn’t show up! He’s probably at your place… Be careful!” said the Xiayi Divine Emperor, who was hovering over the array.
“Huh?” The Empress paused. Suddenly, a greater sense of crisis erupted within her. She jerked her head up and looked into the distance. There, the void on the side of one of the Protectors who was killing Soul Demons was torn open, and then an almost completely silver arm stretched out of it.
The Protector, who was also a top-grade God King, felt a great sense of crisis. Without hesitation, she waved the knife in her hand, unleashed her Power of Law, and hacked at the arm. However, when her mighty blow struck the arm, it did no harm at all.
All of a sudden, the silver arm pierced through the female Protector’s body! She shrieked, while her flesh was shrinking at a rate visible to the naked eye. Soon, she turned into a pile of bones and fell from the starry sky!
A top-grade God King was killed in seconds!
The Empress’s eyes turned red. She knew that Soul Thirteen had appeared!
“Hehehe…”
A burst of cold laughter echoed in the air. The next moment, Soul Thirteen stepped slowly out of the void.
He did not look like the Titan Divine Emperor anymore. Now, he had silver wings behind him and scarlet markings all over his body, and the terrifying aura emanating from him seemed to be able to set off a deadly storm at any time.
Around his body, sharp blades of black energy swirled at high speed. Some of the God Kings who stood close to them could not even resist and were cut into pieces in an instant.
With his appearance, the Soul Demon army’s morale rose abruptly. The ancient beasts lashed out their tails even harder and crushed more and more phoenixes. Within moments, the air was filled with the miserable cries of phoenixes.
“The Immortal Spirit Empress…”
Soul Thirteen glanced at the Empress greedily. All of a sudden, his scarlet eyes turned to look at the home planet of the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty. His gaze seemed to see through the atmosphere and the roof of the imperial palace. Then, a look of greed came over his face.
Ah Mo, who was sitting cross-legged in the palace, felt a terrible pressure descend from the sky. She sprang to her feet and stood straight like a spear—she wanted to fight against this pressure. However, she quickly coughed up a mouthful of blood and took several steps back in shock.
She could not believe that… someone could make her vomit blood with just one look! What kind of terrifying existence was this?!
“Ah Mo, quickly escort the crown princess out of here! There’s a teleport array behind the palace. Activate it and take her to the capital of the Xiayi Divine Dynasty! Remember, don’t let her fall into the hands of the Soul Demon!
“The crown princess is the hope of mankind… The Soul Demon is about to destroy our world, and she who has comprehended four supreme Laws of the Universe will be the ultimate hope! Quickly! Escort her away!”
The Empress’s anxious voice rang out in Ah Mo’s ear.
Ah Mo’s pupils constricted. The Empress actually told her to retreat? Had the situation outside become so serious? When she thought of the gaze that had fallen from the sky just now, her heart was filled with gloom.
Without hesitation, she turned to look at the curtain and said, “Your Highness, let’s go!”
…
The Empress threw back her head and roared. The crown on her head burst into pieces, while her battle robe flapped noisily in the wind. She had completely unleashed her strength of a God Emperor. Now, she looked like a golden figure, and her aura made the spiritual energy in the starry sky boil.
In the distance, Soul Thirteen watched with a sneer on his face. His body also began to glow with a dazzling silver light, and at the same time, a dark purple ball of dark energy converged on his palm. The next moment, he raised his hand, which looked like the claw of a ferocious beast, and flicked his finger.
The dark purple ball immediately tore through the void and shot toward the Empress…
…
Roar!
The Keeper was roaring. His true form was twisting and changing shapes, while his scarlet eyes were bursting with excitement. The sky had darkened at this moment, and even the void seemed to freeze.
Everyone in the Xiayi Divine Dynasty’s capital was shivering, except for Bu Fang and Nethery, who stood at the top of the Luo Family’s skyscraper facing the Soul Demon.
As Nethery watched Bu Fang remove the ladle from his waist, she thought to herself, “Is he going to use that ladle against the Soul Demon? Bu Fang always fights in such a surprising way…”
The Soul Demon swooped down fiercely.
Bu Fang took a deep breath, his Vermilion Robe rustling in the wind. The next moment, he took a step and began walking up toward the sky as if he was climbing on a flight of invisible steps.
The Soul Demon’s roar made everyone’s heart beat faster and faster. With all eyes on him, Bu Fang lifted the ladle and swung it toward the Soul Demon.
“This is the first time I’ve seen someone fight with a ladle…” someone was muttering. ‘Even if you are a chef, you should at least use a kitchen knife, shouldn’t you? Isn’t a kitchen knife more lethal? Even if you don’t want to use a kitchen knife, you can use a wok! Why are you using a ladle? Are you trying to be funny?”
Almost everyone could not understand Bu Fang’s move. However, they could only watch.
When the Keeper saw that Bu Fang was coming at him with a ladle, he could not help but sneer. ‘As Soul Thirteen had said, this stinky chef is at his wits’ end…’
He could not believe that Bu Fang was going to use a ladle against him. As a Numbered Soul Demon, his strength was only half a step away from the Soul Overlord realm! How could a shabby ladle hurt him?
“Go to hell, stinky chef!” the Soul Demon growled, his voice shaking the sky.
In the starry sky, the Xiayi Divine Emperor clutched his chest with one hand, his pupils constricting. Many experts were also watching nervously. It was too late for them to save Bu Fang.
Bu Fang hefted the ladle. It was the first time he had used it, and he hoped it would not disappoint him. After all, it was a complete God of Cooking Set!
He thrust it forward. The ladle looked primitive and simple, without any peculiarity. Under the monstrous power of the Soul Demon, it seemed to be on the verge of breaking. Finally, as all the people watched, the ladle and the Soul Demon collided in midair.
The ladle lightly knocked on the head of the Soul Demon’s true form. There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor was there a terrifying storm. Everyone only heard a ‘pop’, which sounded as if a bubble had burst.
The keeper felt a trance the moment he touched the ladle. It was as if a towering beast had opened its mouth toward him. For a moment, he thought the end had come, and he thought that he was facing a Soul Overlord…
In the blink of an eye, the Numbered Soul Demon, who had come with monstrous killing intent, was smashed apart by the ladle and burst like a bubble. All that was left of him was a little black ball of light, but even that was instantly absorbed by the ladle.
Bu Fang hovered in midair, his Vermilion Robe flapping noisily. With an odd expression, he looked down at the ladle in his hand. Just now, when he knocked the Soul Demon apart, he seemed to hear a burp.
‘Did the Qilin just swallow the Soul Demon? He really deserves to be the boss… He’s really fearsome!’
With a shake of his finger, the ladle began to spin in his hand. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly as he looked up into the distance.
“With this ladle, I’m… invincible.”
