Gourmet of Another World

Under Bu Fang’s control, the Qilin Transmigration Ladle covered with silver flames traced a beautiful arc and smashed into the weak point of Soul Thirteen’s crotch from below.

That was the weak point he saw through the God of Cooking’s Eye, which was also the best entry point for the knife if Soul Thirteen was a food ingredient.

Soul Thirteen never thought that Bu Fang would behave in such a shameless way. ‘Didn’t he say he was going to attack my eyes and armpits? How can he not play by the rules?!’

The intense pain twisted Soul Thirteen’s face. It acted not only on his flesh but also penetrated deep into his soul, causing him to shiver all over. It felt so uncomfortable that he almost fell from the sky.

He bent his body like a cooked shrimp, and only after a long time did he slowly straighten his back. With a monstrous killing intent in his eyes, he stared at Bu Fang.

‘This damned chef… I’m going to cut him to pieces!’

Covered in flames, Bu Fang looked as if he was a God of Fire coming from the depths of the universe. He held a kitchen knife in one hand and a spoon in the other, and as he swung them, tiny flames flew. It would make anyone’s scalp tingle to face such an opponent.

He narrowed his eyes. Soul Thirteen was, after all, a Soul Overlord; even though his weak points were discovered, he was still not so easily defeated.

The Qilin Transmigration Ladle managed to hit his weak spot, and the blow even had the Divine flame attached, but it did not do much harm to him. Even those broken insect scales had quickly healed.

In fact, Bu Fang did not think he could easily defeat a Heavengod-level Soul Overlord.

Soul Thirteen shivered in midair and gasped for a moment. Finally, he regained his composure. With a towering killing intent, he flapped his wings and flew across the sky in a flash.

The chef found his weaknesses but did not have the means to completely breach them. After several shameless attacks, he was losing his patience.

As he approached, he threw out a palm. The sinful power belonging to gluttony quickly gathered in front of him, covering the whole sky like the thickest ink. Then, it turned into a huge palm and slapped viciously down toward Bu Fang.

Even then, the Black Turtle Constellation Wok above Bu Fang’s head began to spin, fighting to resist the palm. With a clanging sound, the palm burst apart like a spray of ink, staining the whole ground black.

Bu Fang, as the target of the palm, suddenly felt a great force pressing down on him, causing his face to turn slightly pale. It was a familiar feeling and pressure, which were exactly the same as the feeling the Heavengod’s palm had brought him in the past.

Rumbling filled the air as the ground kept exploding. Huge rifts were constantly appearing, while rubble kept shooting up into the air.

Soul Thirteen hovered in midair. He did not look at Bu Fang. Energy began to gather on his forehead at a rapid pace. After a while, a ray of light shot out from there. Suddenly, with a loud phoenix cry, a black fire phoenix spread its wings from behind him and flew up high, looking as if it was going to soar through the skies.

The moment they heard the phoenix cry, Ah Mo and Xiao Yanyu, who were in the middle of the battlefield, were both stunned. Hurriedly, they turned their heads to look at the phoenix that was burning with black flames.

‘The Phoenix Lord of the Phoenix Nest?’ Ah Mo thought to herself.

She knew that the Phoenix Lord had fought against Soul Thirteen together with the Immortal Spirit Empress. Unfortunately, the Empress had fallen, and the Phoenix Lord also disappeared. Now it seemed that she was also demonized by Soul Thirteen, just like the Dragon Emperor.

This was not good news for them, or even for humanity.

Soul Thirteen stepped on the black phoenix’s head, narrowed his eyes, and pointed a finger at Bu Fang. “Kill that human!” he instructed the Phoenix Lord.

The Phoenix Lord’s eyes were scarlet, and her whole body was burning with black flames. As if she had gone frenzied, she swooped down toward the ground where plumes of black smoke were rising, reaching out her sharp claws. She looked like an eagle descending from the sky to capture the field mouse in one fell swoop.

Boom!

The ground exploded, and the Lord of the Phoenix spread her wings and rose back up into the sky. However, what she caught with her claws was the Black Turtle Constellation Wok hovering over Bu Fang’s head.

Bu Fang leaped into the air, grabbed the phoenix’s claws, and then began to climb up. The phoenix’s feathers fluttered in the wind, constantly ruffling his skin.

His brows were furrowed—he already felt a great deal of pressure. Although he had broken through to the God realm, his strength was still too weak, probably only allowing him to fight a half-step Heavengod. That was also due to the fact that he had comprehended all five of the supreme Laws of the Universe. Otherwise, he would not even be able to fight a God Emperor.

This was the situation he was currently in against Soul Thirteen. Even though he had discovered the Soul Overlord’s weakness, he did not have enough power to deal them a thunderous blow.

With one last jump, he landed on the phoenix’s back. It was a God Emperor-level fire phoenix, just like the Dragon Emperor he had met before, if not stronger.

As the Phoenix Lord ascended, Bu Fang kept hitting her head with the Qilin Transmigration Ladle. The ladle was so powerful that it was able to crack Soul Thirteen’s insect scales, which could not be broken even by the full force attack of a God Emperor.

So, each time she was struck, the Phoenix Lord felt intense pain, and the Qilin’s aura in the ladle also made her feel great pressure.

Soul Thirteen watched as his face flickered. Finally, the Phoenix Lord fell from the sky and hit the ground hard, causing a shocking explosion. “Rubbish…” Soul Thirteen cursed, his eyes cold.

Bu Fang grabbed the Phoenix Lord by the head and dragged her huge body step by step out of the ruins. The Divine flame that covered his body had increased his strength and fighting prowess significantly.

Soul Thirteen looked at Bu Fang with a gloomy face. The next moment, he raised his hand. An energy beam that seemed to come from the chaos shot out from his palm. That was Heavengod-level energy.

Bu Fang turned his body slightly and avoided the energy beam. However, Soul Thirteen’s target was not him, but the Phoenix Lord behind him.

With a thump, the black energy penetrated the phoenix’s body. The next moment, it seemed as if her enormous body could not withstand the energy—it began to swell and twist like a balloon filled with too much water.

Bu Fang glanced over his shoulder. Looking at the swelling phoenix, his pupils constricted.

Boom!

In the blink of an eye, the Phoenix Lord’s body burst apart completely, causing a shocking explosion. It was like the self-detonation of a God Emperor.

When the Immortal Spirit Empress chose to self-detonate, she hurt Soul Thirteen so badly that it took him a long time to recover. Now, he wanted to let Bu Fang experience the feeling of being impacted by the explosion of someone who self-detonated.

BOOM!

Soul Thirteen instantly sped away from the range of the explosion.

As if a nuclear bomb had exploded, terrifying energy swept out in all directions, which instantly crushed countless rubble into powder. It was a devastating, apocalyptic explosion. For a moment, the whole world fell silent, and the light from the explosion lit the world as if it were day.

Both Soul Demons and humans all stopped fighting and watched in horror. The horrific energy that kept exploding out made everyone’s hair stand on end.

Even the Xiayi Divine Emperor, leaning against the restaurant door, looked dumbfounded. “That’s the self-detonation of a God Emperor! How is Mister Bu going to survive such an explosion?!”

Soul Thirteen sneered in midair. Silently, he applauded his wit. He could not believe that the stinky chef had dared to attack him in such a shameless way. Even now, his soul still shuddered from time to time whenever he thought of the pain in his crotch.

Since that was the case, he thought of returning the favor. The Phoenix Lord was a divine beast for the human race, so he decided that it was best to use her to deliver a devastating blow to Bu Fang…

The energy of the explosion finally slowly dissipated. The Lord of the Phoenix had completely disappeared. After all, she had already self-detonated, so her physical body could no longer exist.

The earth-shattering explosion had blown out a huge circular, bottomless crater in the ground, filled with gray smoke. Debris was constantly sliding down from around the crater.

Bu Fang sat on the edge of the crater with his head bowed, panting slightly. The Divine flame on his body had faded away, and the Vermilion Robe was in tatters. Without the Artifact Spirit, the robe was no longer as overbearing in defense as it used to be. However, it was slowly recovering.

He looked up. With golden light flowing in his eyes, he looked straight ahead with the God of Cooking’s Eye.

There, fragments of the Phoenix Lord’s soul were drifting aimlessly. He beckoned to them, and the fragments immediately flew toward him.

A strange suction emanated from the Vermilion Robe, pulled those soul fragments over, and absorbed them. The robe’s restorative power immediately increased, and in a few moments, it was back to its original appearance. Bu Fang looked just a little bit wretched.

The robe’s Artifact Spirit was the Vermilion Bird, who was of the same origin as the phoenix, so the Phoenix Lord’s energy fragments could be incorporated into the Vermilion Robe.

The crater was enormous. Standing at its edge, Bu Fang was as small as an ant. But he did not care. He just raised his head and looked seriously at Soul Thirteen in the sky.

He felt the situation a little tricky to solve. Even the five supreme Laws of the Universe plus the Divine flame could not defeat Soul Thirteen, and that left him clueless about how to deal with this Soul Overlord for a while.

‘Attention, Host. Does Host want to take up the God realm’s dish test?’ The System’s serious voice suddenly rang in Bu Fang’s head.

Before this, the only sound in his ears was his breathing and the whistling of the wind coming from the bottom of the crater. So, when the System’s voice sounded, it was very loud.

Bu Fang’s eyes lit up. According to the usual practice, as long as he successfully passed the realm test, he would obtain a leap forward breakthrough in his cultivation base. In other words, if he passed the test, he would reach the peak of the God realm.

‘Then maybe I’ll have the strength to fight Soul Thirteen…’

After all, the stronger he became, the more powerful the five supreme Laws of the Universe became, and the God of Cooking’s Eye would not seem so useless.

He exhaled and felt everything around him quiet down. He had no choice. This was his last life-saving straw.

‘Is the Host willing to take the test now?’ asked the System.

‘Yes,’ Bu Fang answered in his head.

The next moment, he felt a strange force envelop him, and then his consciousness was pulled into a strange space.

In reality, Soul Thirteen’s eyes narrowed when he saw Bu Fang sit down and lower his head. He was able to sense Bu Fang’s current state very clearly.

‘This chef… chose to break through when he is facing me?! Isn’t he looking for death?’

How could Soul Thirteen possibly let Bu Fang break through so easily? The next moment, the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife, the Black Turtle Constellation Wok, the Qilin Transmigration Ladle, and the White Tiger Heaven Stove appeared and surrounded Bu Fang.

‘It seems he’s going to cook… He’s going to cook in the middle of a battle?!’

“Are you f*cking looking down on me?!” Soul Thirteen’s eyes instantly turned scarlet. The markings on his skin began to wriggle, while his body grew taller rapidly, transforming from what was just an ordinary human height into a ten-thousand-foot giant. At the same time, his mouth opened so wide that it seemed to be able to swallow a star.

Lowering his head, he roared at Bu Fang. A terrible suction burst out of his mouth, pulling at everything as if he was going to devour Bu Fang and everything around him.

Just then, the door of the restaurant on the top floor of the Luo Family’s skyscraper suddenly opened, and then a fat figure slowly walked out from it with elegant cat-like steps.

Lord Dog yawned. With just a glance, he saw Soul Thirteen, who had transformed into a giant. He raised a cute paw and waved it in front of him. Suddenly, everything around him seemed to stop.

Even Soul Thirteen, who was a Soul Overlord, was affected by Lord Dog’s Law of Time.

Lord Dog walked with his elegant cat-like steps at a steady pace and came in front of Soul Thirteen. Suddenly, the Law of Time disappeared, and the powerful suction that erupted from Soul Thirteen’s mouth made Lord Dog’s fat jiggle violently.

“Hmm?” Soul Thirteen’s eyes narrowed. He did not expect a dog, who was carrying a bone, to suddenly appear in front of him.

Hovering in front of Soul Thirteen, Lord Dog put the Heavengod’s bone into his mouth, then closed his jaws hard and crushed the bone to pieces.
