Chapter 1575: Summer, Summer Pa.s.sed Quietly…
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
‘Attention, Host. The upgrade is about to begin. Please do not move around.’ The System’s serious voice rang in Bu Fang’s head.
Bu Fang’s face was expressionless, and his heart was very calm. He even wanted to laugh a little…
‘Why can’t I move during the upgrade?’ Bu Fang had doubts for the first time. In the past, the System was never this troublesome.
‘Will something bad happen if I move? Will it cause the upgrade to fail?’ he asked the System in his head.
However, the System did not want to answer him.
With a buzzing sound, a beam of light began to condense over Bu Fang.
Bu Fang was a DemiG.o.d before breaking through, and a DemiG.o.d was not considered a G.o.d. That was to say, Bu Fang, who had defeated countless G.o.ds before, was just a mortal.
The peak of a Great Saint was a DemiG.o.d, yet a Great Saint was also just a mortal. For Bu Fang, whether he was a mortal or not was not a big deal. Even mortal, he could still defeat G.o.ds because he had comprehended all five of the supreme Laws of the Universe.
The Sacred realm was divided into Little Saints and Great Saints, while the realm of G.o.ds had more grades, including low, middle, and high-grade G.o.ds. And these were just sub-realms. Then, above them were the G.o.d Kings. The peak of a G.o.d was a G.o.d Emperor, just as the peak of a Great Saint was a DemiG.o.d.
Now, Bu Fang was about to break through. As for what realm he would be after the breakthrough, he did not know. He was curious, too.
With a thought in his mind, he opened up the system panel.

System rank: Level 4 (Helping the Host to embark on the path to become a G.o.d of Cooking)

There was no doubt that, according to the system panel, Bu Fang had not yet broken through. It seemed that this breakthrough process should take a long time to prepare. After all, the breaking through from a DemiG.o.d to a G.o.d was a qualitative leap, a process of metamorphosis from a mortal to an immortal being.
This was a very important moment in Bu Fang’s life. He knew that once he became a G.o.d, he would be closer and closer to becoming a G.o.d of Cooking. However, he also knew very well that he could not rush into it.
The items section showed that the Artifact Spirits were asleep. This made him frown. Perhaps after this was over, he would need to go to find the place the Qilin had said he was familiar with so that he could wake them up.
The G.o.d of Cooking Sets were not complete without the Artifact Spirits. If he did not awaken the Artifact Spirits, Bu Fang knew that he would never become a G.o.d of Cooking.
The road to becoming a G.o.d of Cooking was a road of no return, but it was also a road in pursuit of perfection. There should not be the slightest mistake on this path, and there was no room for the slightest flaw.
After all, Bu Fang only got one chance.
Suddenly, he felt his body getting warmer. His eyes lit up in an instant.
The next moment, his aura began to explode. It was as if his entire person had turned into a blazing sun, with a beam of radiant light thrusting out from the top of his head and shooting straight up into the sky, turning into a huge vortex of energy high in the sky.
Then, his body began to transform.
…
Soul Thirteen’s eyes were fixed on Bu Fang’s position, who was on the top floor of the Luo Family’s skysc.r.a.per emanating a very obvious aura. He could clearly pick up the aura’s fluctuation.
His long tongue wrapped around the Divine Emperor, and the sharp barbs on it kept cutting the latter’s skin, causing him to bleed profusely.
The Divine Emperor only frowned slightly. However, when he saw that Soul Thirteen had spotted Bu Fang’s location, his expression changed dramatically.
‘Mister Bu is breaking through now… Once he becomes a G.o.d, he definitely has the potential to break through to the HeavenG.o.d realm in the future… I must not let him fall here!’
The Xiayi Divine Emperor’s eyes turned red. At this moment, he pushed his divine sense to the extreme, causing his whole body to burst into flames.
Soul Thirteen felt a stinging pain on his tongue as the blazing flames licked it. Without hesitation, he quickly retracted his tongue.
“Dammit!”
After breaking free from Soul Thirteen’s restraints, the Divine Emperor’s whole body immediately glowed brilliantly like a blazing sun.
Not far away, Soul Thirteen was glowing silver.
“Your opponent is… me.”
At this moment, the Xiayi Divine Emperor almost transformed into a HeavenG.o.d. His entire body seemed to have taken an energy form—his skin became so fair that it was almost transparent, his long black hair was fluttering without wind, and his golden armor made him look like a true HeavenG.o.d.
“Who are you? What makes you think that you are worthy to be my opponent?” Soul Thirteen narrowed his eyes. He was tired of paying any attention to the Xiayi Divine Emperor. He had already killed two divine emperors, so it made no difference to him whether he killed the third or not. Now, it was Bu Fang he wanted to kill, or rather, it was Bu Fang that he wanted to devour.
Bu Fang’s talent was so incredible that it made his hair stand on end. If he devoured this kind of human genius, his strength would definitely skyrocket again.
After all, he had just become a Soul Overlord, so his strength was still a little unstable. If he were to fight a Soul Overlord in the Soul Demon Universe, he would probably be killed instantly.
However, if he ate Bu Fang, his strength would be stabilized and even soar by leaps and bounds, giving him the ability to fight those veteran Soul Overlords.
So he did not want to pay any attention to the Divine Emperor. Moreover, in addition to Bu Fang, he also sensed the aura of the… Cursed G.o.ddess in that restaurant!
Once the two humans were devoured by him, the Gluttony Soul Overlord, he would even be able to occupy a very high position among the Soul Overlords.
With a ripping sound, the wings on Soul Thirteen’s back flapped, tearing the void while pus.h.i.+ng him forward. As he flew, his mouth opened wide, and the dark s.p.a.ce in it, which looked like a boundless universe, began to spin.
He was very hungry, so he was going to eat the whole skysc.r.a.per!
Rumble!
Soul Thirteen sped past the Xiayi Divine Emperor in a flash, completely ignoring him.
Suddenly, the Divine Emperor’s seemingly evaporating body twisted. In less than a fraction of a second, he appeared in front of Soul Thirteen and threw out an Eight Barren Emperor Punch without the slightest hesitation.
“How dare you stand in my way? You’ve overreached yourself!” Soul Thirteen snarled. His scarlet eyes flashed, and then his silver body ran over the Divine Emperor like a steel chariot, nearly ripping the latter apart.
The Divine Emperor opened his mouth and coughed up blood. His aura instantly became very weak. Even so, he still locked his gaze on Soul Thirteen.
“Since you want to die so badly, I’ll make it happen…” Soul Thirteen said coldly. The next moment, he raised his claws, violently grabbed the Divine Emperor’s head, and then suddenly charged at great speed toward the Luo Family’s skysc.r.a.per.
The surrounding Soul Demons were all howling with excitement. The humans, on the other hand, fell silent. They could not believe that their spiritual support, the Xiayi Divine Emperor, was actually crushed by that Soul Demon like a dead dog.
“Is the gap between them really that big? How about the HeavenG.o.ds? Where are the HeavenG.o.ds?”
The humans began to fall into turmoil.
Boom!
Soul Thirteen grabbed Xia Yuhe by the head and slammed him hard against the restaurant door, causing the wooden door to shake and creak.
Watching this scene from a close distance, Summer, standing on the rooftop of the building, felt a little cold inside. When she looked at Xia Yuhe, who was bleeding profusely under Soul Thirteen’s claws, she suddenly felt a stabbing pain in her heart.
She thought she somewhat understood Xia Yuhe’s insistence. As the Divine Emperor of the dynasty, if even he did not stand up against the enemy, who else would stand up?
“You really have no idea of death or danger… But don’t worry, I won’t kill you. Instead, I’ll keep you well in captivity. You should have heard the story of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, right? This story tells us that if we want to have more eggs, we should raise our goose well…” Soul Thirteen sneered.
The Divine Emperor looked straight at the Soul Demon’s face through the gaps between the claws pressing on his face.
Suddenly, a burst of energy flew over and hit Soul Thirteen with a bang. However, the power of this blow was so weak that it did not even leave a mark on his scales.
In any case, the little burst of energy managed to get Soul Thirteen’s attention. His scarlet eyes narrowed as he turned to look in the direction where the attack had come from.
There, Summer’s eyes were fixed on him.
“A medium-grade G.o.d King?” Soul Thirteen froze for a moment, then the corners of his mouth twitched, and he burst out laughing.
The laughter made Summer’s face turn red from anger. ‘Is it necessary for this fellow to laugh so hard?! A medium-grade G.o.d King also needs to be respected!’
“Get lost!”
Soul Thirteen’s laughter stopped abruptly. The next moment, the vertical eye on his forehead lit up, and then a scarlet beam of light shot out from it, heading toward Summer with lightning speed.
The light beam was so powerful that Summer almost suffocated, feeling as if she had fallen into a cave of ice. Facing it, she did not even have the strength to lift her legs and dodge.
‘No wonder Xia Yuhe is beaten so badly. This Soul Demon has really become the greatest demon! Is this the legendary… HeavenG.o.d realm?’
Even Bu Fang, who had comprehended four of the supreme Laws of the Universe, had exhausted all his trump cards in the face of a blow from a HeavenG.o.d, not to mention Summer.
In the face of this beam of light, she was as weak as a moth fluttering to the flame. She would be turned into ashes in the next second.
Summer had already felt a sense of death, and it turned her face pale, bloodless.
Soul Thirteen ignored her after he shot out the light beam. As far as he was concerned, this weak woman was dead. So, he locked his eyes in the restaurant.
‘That d.a.m.ned chef is in this restaurant… Oh? He is trying to break through the G.o.d realm? But even if he becomes a G.o.d now, he cannot change anything. At most, he just got tastier…’
Xia Yuhe’s pupils constricted to the size of sesame seeds as he watched the light beam close in on Summer. She was his sister, the only family he had now. He did not want to see her die like this, but he was powerless.
Suddenly, the Divine Emperor froze. Even Soul Thirteen was struck dumb.
At this moment, a melodious song rang out, which sounded somewhat comical in the serious atmosphere.
“Summer, summer pa.s.sed quietly, leaving behind a little secret…
“I keep it in my heart, in my heart, and I can’t tell you. Hey…”
The look in Soul Thirteen’s scarlet eyes changed. His sharp eyes suddenly widened and looked puzzled.
“Who’s playing this… f*cking song?!”
Summer’s eyes were closed. Her whole body was shaking, and she could not move. However, when the scarlet ray approached her, it did not kill her, for a blurred silhouette emerged before her and blocked it.
It was a blurry figure who looked as graceful and beautiful as a woman.
With a dumbfounded expression, Summer looked down at the necklace around her long, fair neck. It was given to her by Mu Hongzi. At this moment, it was broken.
“If you are so strong, go inside the restaurant and bully that chef! What’s the use of bullying a weak woman? I can’t believe you have the nerve to call yourself one of the Seven Sins… Bah! The Seven Weaklings is more like it! My little Summer is so lovely, so how dare you take a swing at her? If you are so strong, come to me! I will definitely teach you a lesson! If I flinch, I will not be called… Mu Congxin!”
As soon as the graceful and stunningly beautiful figure appeared, he opened his mouth and growled. That stunned everyone.
Soul Thirteen’s scarlet eyes widened, and his mouth fell open, not knowing what to say. “What the f*ck is this?!”
Xia Yuhe, who was pinned to the door by Soul Thirteen, twitched the corner of his mouth. ‘Who is Mu Congxin? Obviously, he’s Mu Hongzi…’
Despite the critical situation, his heart was warm. It turned out that Mu Hongzi had set some protection on Summer. If it were not for this protection, she would already be dead.
At last, the unreliable Mu Hongzi was reliable for once.
“GET LOST!” Soul Thirteen’s eyes turned cold again, and he let out a growl. The chattering figure was getting on his nerves. He released his grip on the Divine Emperor, then in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Summer, swinging out his sharp claws. The void was instantly torn apart, and spatial turbulence poured out of it.
Mu Hongzi’s figure was torn to pieces in an instant. However, to everyone’s surprise, even Summer was torn to pieces as well…
“Hmm?”
When the last speck of light faded away, Summer had disappeared. She was taken away by Mu Hongzi.
Soul Thirteen suppressed his anger. He felt a little frustrated. As a high and mighty Soul Overlord, he actually let someone threaten him and run away! He wished he could devour everything in front of him now! He always wanted to eat when he was angry!
Xia Yuhe breathed out a sigh of relief, slumped in the doorway, and slightly twitched the corners of his mouth. Now that Mu Hongzi had taken Summer away, he was much relieved. At least, if the Xiayi Divine Dynasty was wiped out, it would still have a successor.
‘Who exactly is that Mu Hongzi? Why is he able to block a blow from a HeavenG.o.d-level being? Had I been wrong about that guy before?’
Soul Thirteen’s gaze turned and rested back in the restaurant. As for the Xiayi Divine Emperor, who looked like a dead dog, he did not even look at him.
His widening mouth was dripping saliva. He just wanted to eat that chef now! No one could stop him!
All of a sudden, Soul Thirteen froze as the restaurant’s door creaked open.
“Hmm? Acting all mysterious… Are you finally willing to open the door and come out to be killed by me?” Soul Thirteen grinned. Then, he took a step and walked into the restaurant. As he entered it, his scarlet eyes focused and shot out two rays of light, s.h.i.+ning on a figure.
It was a chubby, metallic figure.
Whitey’s mechanical eyes flashed. As soon as it sensed Soul Thirteen’s violent aura, the three flags behind him flew out at once.
“Troublemaker, you will be stripped as an example to others!”
