Gourmet of Another World

“Dammit!” Sloth had never expected the experts of the Primitive Universe to strike at this very moment. Had Tongtian been waiting for this opportunity all along? The moment he left the seven hourglasses?

Their purpose was to stop the Soul God from coming.

The arrival of Tongtian and Bu Fang, as well as the desperate manner in which they fought, were a complete sham. In fact, they had prepared many experts to deliver a thunderous blow to the Soul God as he tried to get through the portal! They would crush the Soul God’s hopes once and for all with this blow!

Sloth was furious! He tried to pull away from the battlefield to return to the hourglasses, but he was stopped. With a dish in his hand, Bu Fang hovered in front of him, slowly turning his head and glancing at him. That gaze startled the Great Soul Overlord!

“You… Stay and play with me,” Bu Fang said faintly.

Sloth fumed. How could he possibly stay? He was going to stop that group of almighty experts!

In fact, the Primitive Universe was a little more powerful than the Soul Demon Universe when it came to high-end fighting forces. But the Great Path was restricting these experts.

And, given enough time, Soul Demons could grow to be very formidable here because there were no restrictions on them. This was the main reason why they coveted the Primitive Universe.

Soul Demons could freely grow here. This was their paradise. Now, as long as the Soul God could descend, retrieve his body parts, and then return to them, he would lead them to conquer the Primitive Universe!

Sloth’s eyes turned red. He did not want to pay attention to Bu Fang. At this moment, killing this chef was less important than stopping that group of almighty experts!

Roar!

Monstrous sinful energy exploded out from Sloth’s body as he slapped at Bu Fang, trying to knock him away. Even though Bu Fang’s cultivation base had broken through to the realm of Chaotic Saints, his strength was still a bit inferior to that of a perfected expert. That was why Sloth was fearless.

Bu Fang glanced at the Great Soul Overlord indifferently, then waved his hand over the dish. It was as if he pinched the aroma, making it swirl around his palm like a tornado.

“I said, stay and play with me.” Bu Fang twitched his lips and thought to himself, ‘When I want you to stay, you don’t want to, but when I don’t want you to come near me, you keep pestering me. Who do you think I am?’

The next moment, their palms collided. The aroma and the sinful energy tangled together and then exploded with a rumble! Sloth did not move a bit, and Bu Fang also stood firm as a rock. It appeared that the strength of their attacks was even!

Behind Bu Fang, Whitey continued to pull the true forms of countless Soul Demons into its belly. Its purple eyes grew darker and deeper, looking more and more terrifying. In the distance, Tongtian was holding the sword array over his head and the Qingping Sword in his hand, constantly unleashing sharp swords.

A large bell vibrated with a deafening sound, and Chaotic Energy kept falling from it. The kind-faced Buddha, who controlled the bell, was chanting, his voice trembling heaven and earth.

Suddenly, he struck out with his palm, which absorbed almost all the light around it. Surrounded by the sound of the bell, the palm rushed toward the Soul God, whose body was already halfway through the cosmic barrier.

At the same time, Lady Nuwa threw her colorful stone at the Soul God. Yuanshi Tianzun, on the other hand, rolled up his sleeves, grabbed his great axe with both hands, and raised it high in the air. His eyes sparkled as he turned to face the Soul God, let out a thunderous shout, and brought the axe down hard.

The Soul God was like a beast in a cage, unable to break free of the cosmic barrier. He threw his head back and growled, his empty face clearly visible while a tremendous amount of sinful energy wrapped up one of his arms. It was as if he was the will of the Soul Demon Universe and wanted to descend to this world and destroy its will!

In Hangu Pass, many immortals, deities, and Buddhas sat cross-legged on the ancient and mottled city walls, watching the battle in the distance. Their expressions were all very peaceful. The air was filled with sermons, chanting, and all sorts of strange sounds.

Suddenly, clouds began to gather over the city, with purple lightning pulsating in them. While exuding the aura of the Great Path, the thunderclouds sped away and headed straight to the distant battlefield.

Meanwhile, the Soul God, suppressed by the almighty experts’ attacks, was moving backward and seemed to be really close to retreating to the Soul Demon Universe.

Sloth was very anxious, but he never expected that Bu Fang had stopped him with only one dish. The suppressive force of the dish’s fragrance was just too strong for him.

“Scram!” The Great Soul Overlord growled as he backed away. His speed was really too fast, completely inconsistent with his name. Even Bu Fang, who had comprehended the Law of Space, was slightly taken aback.

Just then, Shrimpy turned into a giant mantis shrimp, carried Bu Fang on its back, and shot out in a streak of golden light, instantly closing in on Sloth. They were both so fast that they had touched the top speed of the universe.

Two beams of light, one black and one gold, kept colliding in the starry sky, each time causing heaven and earth to shake. However, a battle that was even more intense than this was taking place in the distance.

The Primitive almighty experts’ attack was forcing the Soul God back. Suddenly, the thunderclouds, full of pulsating purple lightning, came flying over with the aura of the Great Path. Tongtian’s expression changed drastically.

“This is the Will of the Great Path! How did it come so fast?!”

The Will was not here to deal with the Soul God, but with these almighty experts who had used power beyond the limit of this universe.

“Hurry up!” cried the Sect Leader. They had to speed up, otherwise when the Will descended, they might all be injured, and then there would be even fewer people who could suppress this great demon in the future!

Bu Fang was also looking at the clouds, holding the dish in his hand.

Sloth steadied himself and gave a long scream. Upon hearing that, the pupils of the six Great Soul Overlords who were fighting with the five Artifact Spirits narrowed. Hastily, they forced their opponents back and flew toward the three almighty experts.

“Scram!”

Tongtian roared and controlled the sword array to swoop down on these demons. All he had to do was hold them off and let the almighty experts finish suppressing the Soul God, and they would be able to get through this catastrophe! Suddenly, his face changed.

Roaring, Envy was rushing toward the Sect Leader, his eyes full of madness. The sinful energy that was swirling around him was extremely unstable and pulsating in a very violent way. The next moment, he and the sword array crashed into each other and exploded!

It felt like the most terrifying explosion in the universe, and the powerful impact forced Tongtian to take several steps backward. His face became extremely unsightly. The sword array had broken up, and the four immortal swords were hovering behind him.

That was the self-explosion of a Great Soul Overlord—not only his physical body but also his true form. After the explosion, everything about him was gone, and he would not be able to be resurrected!

‘I can’t believe he used such an extreme method!’ Tongtian thought to himself.

Envy’s self-destruction tore open a gap, through which the other Great Soul Overlords quickly flew away. Tongtian shuddered.

“Please descend quickly, Lord Soul God!” Greed roared. With madness in his eyes, he charged at the Buddha, who had the big bell suspended above his head.

The Buddha was suppressing the Soul God with his palm when Greed approached. The Great Soul Overlord’s body swelled in an eerie manner, then exploded with a deafening bang in the blink of an eye. The apocalyptic explosion struck the big bell, causing it to shake continuously. The Buddha’s face flickered.

Meanwhile, Gluttony hissed, and as his body swelled, he flew toward Yuanshi Tianzun and crashed into the great axe that was swinging down! Yuanshi’s pupils shrank. The next moment, an explosion pushed his axe back!

When a Great Soul Overlord was not enough, another came and blew up his body and true form. The power of the self-destruction of these demons, who were as strong as top Chaotic Saints, was extremely dreadful. It managed to block a mighty blow from a perfected expert!

Pride threw himself at Lady Nuwa and self-detonated. The blast knocked her colorful stone back into her hand. The goddess’s expression changed drastically.

The means that the Primitive experts had arranged for so long was stopped at this moment! Even then, the two remaining Great Soul Overlords also blew themselves up. The energy waves generated by these explosions seemed to turn the universe into nothingness.

While the seven hourglasses were shaking, the Soul God took advantage of this opportunity to take a step further, pushing one leg through the thin film and leaving the other stuck in the Soul Demon Universe. Now, he was just one step away from entering the Primitive Universe.

The faces of Yuanshi Tianzun, Lady Nuwa, and the Buddha all flickered. They tried to organize another round of suppression, but it was too late. The purple thunderclouds had already descended and were emitting the aura of the Great Path, which was holding them down.

The three almighty experts were forced back—they did not dare to continue to use the top divine artifacts of the Primitive Universe. If they insisted on using them, the universe would completely collapse. This was not what they wanted to see!

Yuanshi Tianzun sighed, helplessness and resignation evident in his eyes. They were too slow. They tried to suppress the Soul God before the Will of the Great Path descended, but they were too slow… No one expected that the Great Soul Overlords would resort to such extreme measures.

Sloth laughed excitedly and somewhat crazily! “It’s too late! You can’t stop it! There’s no way you can stop it now!”

A purple aura hung over Hangu Pass. Countless experts were silent as they watched the battle in the distance. Taishang Laojun, holding his horsetail whisk, looked pale. He closed his eyes and sighed.

‘Sure enough… the Great Path is merciless.’

He flicked his whisk and said, “Prepare for the battle of life and death.”

…

Bu Fang frowned. This situation was something he had never expected. He could not believe that the six Great Soul Overlords had chosen to blow themselves up. All of them had gone through a lot of hardships to get to this point, yet they had chosen to commit suicide.

Their sacrifice, however, gave the Soul God his chance. He was almost on the verge of breaking free! Once he entered the Primitive Universe, it would be a disaster waiting for them.

The Soul God was a being of another universe, so when he broke through the cosmic barrier, he was like jumping out of the Great Path and out of the control of the Will. Therefore, the Primitive Universe’s Will of the Great Path did not threaten him.

Sloth was so excited. He looked respectfully and frantically at the Soul God, who was only half a foot away from stepping into the Primitive Universe, and knelt in midair, bowing toward him. Each time he bowed, the Soul God moved a little bit further out of the barrier. At the same time, the energy of the Great Sins pervaded the air.

Tongtian’s face was pale, and so were the other experts.

The Great Path of the Primitive Universe had made them, but it also broke them. It had given birth to countless experts, enough to suppress the Soul Demon Universe, but its restriction made them miss the chance to suppress the Soul God. Were they really going to fail this time?

The sound of Sloth’s kowtow kept booming inside them, making them tremble both physically and mentally. A despairing atmosphere enveloped them.

Suddenly, Bu Fang sighed. That slightly startled many people. He put one hand behind his back, and while holding the pseudo-God of Cooking’s dish in the other hand, he took a step. The starry sky shook.

“Come back to me,” he said with an expressionless face.

As his voice rang out, the Artifact Spirits in the distance burst into a golden light. Accompanied by the roars of a dragon, a tiger, a bird, a turtle, and a Qilin, they turned into five streams of light and came to Bu Fang’s side.

In the blink of an eye, he was clad in the Vermilion Robe. With the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife and the Qilin Transmigration Ladle hovering by his sides, the Black Turtle Constellation Wok floating over his head, and the White Tiger Heaven Stove under his feet, he walked step by step toward the Soul God, who had only half of a foot left to completely come into the Primitive Universe.

Sloth was stunned, while Tongtian, Yuanshi Tianzun, and the other almighty experts stared at Bu Fang with wide eyes.

Hovering in front of the huge faceless Soul God, Bu Fang smiled faintly.

“You want to come out? Have you asked me? As it happens, I’m also not bound by the Great Path of the Primitive Universe.”
