“Did I say you can leave?”
Bu Fang’s voice was not loud, but it rang across the whole place. The churning waters quieted down. Those words, together with the grease on his lips, horrified the three Soul Overlords.
This scene was broadcast all over the world, and people broke out into an uproar.
“How domineering! Senior is as domineering as ever!”
“Kill them! Senior, you’re the best!”
“Steamed, braised, pickled pepper… Whatever you choose, Senior!”
“Senior, don’t let any of them go!”
People all over the world were shouting, and Bu Fang thought he could hear their voices. He walked step by step in midair. In everyone’s eyes, he looked like the supreme Immortal, but in the eyes of the Soul Demons, he was a glutton crueler than Gluttony Soul Overlord.
Four divine beasts had appeared and formed a mysterious array, blocking the escape routes of the three Soul Overlords. They separated and flew in different directions, but they were all forced to come back.
Laughing, Tongtian raised the green sword and swung it down with all his might, chopping off the head of a Soul Overlord. Then, his four immortal swords flew up into the sky and pinned the Soul Overlord in midair.
Greed Soul Overlord was trembling violently all over. He had never thought that they, the existences that had turned the other universes upside down, would end up in such a miserable state on the Ancestral Planet of mankind. It would be fine if their true forms could escape, but they could not!
“The Four Quadrants Array…”
Looking at Bu Fang’s array, Tongtian’s eyes narrowed slightly. He was very familiar with the aura of these four divine beasts, for they were the four Divine Artifacts that had suppressed the cosmic portals on the Ancestral Planet. Even he was terrified by the power of this array.
“Fellow Daoist Bu is really fearsome,” he muttered. He was very happy. Being able to eliminate these Soul Demons that invaded the Ancestral Planet made his blood boil.
Meanwhile, Yang Jian was roaring. After breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm, his third eye evolved again. He could even make the void collapse with this eye now!
He had become stronger, but he had also lost his dog. The Celestial Dog, who did not get to taste the braised meat, was thoroughly disappointed with Yang Jian. Where had the trust between a man and a dog gone? A master like this, who did not even give it a bite of the meat, was not worthy of its following.
The array kept shrinking. Greed Soul Overlord was nailed in midair, while the two remaining Soul Overlords were trembling as the s.p.a.ce around them continued to shrink.
“You can’t kill us!” Envy Soul Overlord said, looking at Bu. “You’ve killed so many Soul Overlords that the almighty Soul G.o.d will sense it… You will surely be tortured by the Soul G.o.d in a way worse than death!” he said spitefully.
So many Soul Demons were wiped out, and so many Soul Overlords were killed. Soul Overlords were different from ordinary Soul Demons. Although they had evolved in other universes, they were all subject to the sovereignty of the almighty Soul G.o.d. Therefore, their death would be sensed by the Soul G.o.d.
A careful look would reveal that Bu Fang’s body was surrounded by countless black threads. Those were karmic threads. The Soul G.o.d could follow these threads to find him and kill him!
“Soul G.o.d…” Bu Fang sat cross-legged in midair, his eyes calm. The name made his heart flutter a little, but he did not pay much attention to it.
“The Soul G.o.d? Hmph! Let him come! The sword in my hand will cut off his head!” Tongtian snorted coldly and waved the green sword in his hand, unleas.h.i.+ng a blast of energy that caused the ocean to explode.
“What a foolish human! You have no idea what an almighty existence the Soul G.o.d is…” Envy Soul Overlord looked at Tongtian with a sneer.
“Even the Sin Array formed by the seven Soul Overlords of the Soul Demon Universe cannot withstand a single finger of the Soul G.o.d, let alone you weak humans! You are merely a Saint of the Great Path, so any Soul Overlord of the Soul Demon Universe can kill you easily! And yet, you want to fight the Soul G.o.d? You really overestimate yourself…”
Those words shocked Tongtian. His strength was not weak even among Saints of the Great Path. Wasn’t that enough to withstand the Soul Overlords of the Soul Demon Universe?
At the same time, the hearts of all humans sank. These demons were not the strongest? There were more powerful demons? What should they do then? If that so-called Soul G.o.d descended on Earth, who could resist him?
Rumble!
Suddenly, Bu Fang fell from midair and crushed Envy Soul Overlord’s scales with one kick. “What’s so great about the Soul G.o.d? It doesn’t matter how powerful you Soul Demons are, but if you dare to come here, I’ll stew you all,” said Bu Fang.
Envy Soul Overlord looked at Bu Fang with resentment, hissing and growling. He was suppressed by the Four Quadrants Array. Otherwise, he would have made a dying struggle. With a rumble, the array exploded with mighty power, crus.h.i.+ng him in an instant.
Suddenly, Qilin roared, reached out his paw, pulled out the Soul Overlord’s true form, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed noisily.
Gluttony Soul Overlord could not escape as well and was soon killed by Bu Fang. His body was then sent into the Heaven and Earth Farmland.
The sky cleared up at last. All the Soul Demons were gone except for Greed Soul Overlord, who Tongtian had nailed up in midair. Bu Fang had no intention of getting his hand on this one, so he left Tongtian to deal with it.
With a smile on his face, the Sect Leader produced a gourd with strange patterns carved on its surface and sucked Greed Soul Overlord into it. “Fellow Daoist Bu, leave this Soul Overlord to me so I can study him,” he said with a smile.
Bu Fang did not refuse. He had enough Soul Overlord meat to fill the hunger in his stomach.
The battle was finally over, and the whole world was cheering.
G.o.ds and Immortals went out to eliminate the remaining Soul Demons, and Bu Fang and Tongtian headed to each of the cosmic portals. To suppress these entrances, Bu Fang placed a bowl of steaming Soul Overlord meat in front of each portal, while the Sect Leader hung a small sword over it.
When they were done, they said goodbye to each other and agreed to each search for those Soul Overlords who had escaped and were hiding somewhere.
…
At the Immortal Island of Penglai, Tongtian sat cross-legged in the immortal temple. He was lecturing, and under him sat many Immortals.
They were all surrounded by a murderous aura, and he was using his cultivation base to help them extinguish it. He wanted to prevent them from going off the rails and eventually causing their tens of thousands of years of cultivation base to be destroyed.
…
Bu Fang, on the other hand, went back to Kunlun. He owned a restaurant there, so it was natural for him to return. Bubu Little Kitchen was the name of the restaurant, and he thought it was a sweet name.
When he arrived, a large crowd of Kunlun Immortals greeted him. The Queen Mother even made a special trip out of her immortal temple to welcome him.
In fact, her main purpose was to ask for a piece of cooked Soul Overlord meat. She was, of course, mercilessly rejected by Bu Fang.
When it came to food, Bu Fang did not give face to anyone. All he said was, “If you want it, stand in line to buy it.”
The Queen Mother was so angry that she wanted to take back the shop. However, under Bu Fang’s sidelong glance, she gave up the idea that would kill her.
Because Bu Fang had made a big show by exterminating the Soul Demon army, the American fighter jets were following him all the time. When they found that he had opened a restaurant at the foot of Kunlun Mountain and was going to sell Soul Demon meat, people all over the world could not keep calm anymore, and the people all over Hua went crazy!
That was Soul Overlord meat! In other words, it was Saint-level meat! Yang Jian, who was an Immortal-Emperor-to-be, managed to advance to the Immortal Emperor realm with just one piece of this meat! The effect was amazing, almost equivalent to the legendary elixir of immortality!
Countries were scrambling to send people to Hua just to beg for a piece of Soul Overlord meat.
Bu Fang naturally knew the fighter jets were following him. He did not stop them because he wanted to tell the world that he had opened a restaurant at the foot of the Kunlun Mountain, and his purpose was, of course, to earn money.
‘System, can money on Earth be considered as turnover?’ Bu Fang asked seriously.
‘Yes.’
The System’s answer made him happy. After receiving the affirmative answer, he announced this message:
“For the next two days, I will be selling Soul Overlord meat at Bubu Little Kitchen at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. Each piece of Soul Overlord meat sells for 100 million Hua dollars. Please note that I will only accept cash.”
This was his announcement. The world was abuzz, and all eyes were on Hua. Soon, helicopters, fighter jets, and drones began circling over Kunlun Mountain.
…
In the immortal temple, the Queen Mother’s face was very gloomy. She did not think Bu Fang was asking too much. Selling a piece of Soul Overlord meat for 100 million Hua dollars was actually very cheap. But why was he only accepting cash?!
As the Queen Mother of the West, she had mountains of gold and silver, but where was she going to find cash?
Tongtian, who was far away at Penglai, did not know whether to cry or laugh after learning this news. “Fellow Daoist Bu is very… naughty.”
…
Hua was in turmoil. All the top families and the wealthy people were frantically exchanging cash, and fighter jets loaded with cash roared over the cities.
The United States, Sakura Island, India, and the Western Allies were all in a ruckus. They wanted to exchange their currency with Hua’s currency, but they were all rejected. This made the leaders of the world s.h.i.+ver with rage, their faces darkened.
Although they could not get cash in the Hua dollar, these countries still sent fighter jets to Kunlun with cash in their own currencies.
At the foot of the mountain, armored vehicles slowly drove up the mountain. Countless people watched the lively scene via live streaming and found it very comical, but no one laughed at it.
A piece of Soul Overlord meat was enough for heads of state to risk everything. Even G.o.ds and Immortals coveted it.
People from various countries gathered in front of Mount Kunlun. Fortunately, Bu Fang’s restaurant was not located at the top of the mountain. Otherwise, these people would have to spend a lot of effort just to get up there.
Bubu Little Kitchen was a very modest restaurant. It did not have flashy decor or fancy storefronts. Even the door was a simple wooden door.
A black dog lay in front of the door, tongue out, wagging its tail. Yang Jian squatted beside it and kept talking to it. The fawning expression on his face was not what the average person could imitate.
Nethery sat on a chair eating greasy roast meat, while the Empyrean Fairy stood respectfully behind her, combing her thick black hair.
Foxy and Shrimpy stayed next to the black dog, laughing and watching Yang Jian’s performance.
This was what the leaders of various countries saw when they came to the restaurant, and they did not know whether to laugh or cry.
The people of Hua took the lead in seizing the advantageous position because they had favorable conditions. Their armored vehicles loaded with cash in Hua dollar were at the head of the queue, and behind them were the Americans.
Bu Fang came out of the kitchen. There were several tables in the restaurant, each with a blue-and-white porcelain bowl containing a thin slice of Soul Overlord meat, which was coated with honey and was steaming.
He went to the door. All eyes rested on him in an instant. Even Nethery and the others were looking at him. The eyes of the top people of various countries were ablaze.
“May I have your attention? Bubu Little Kitchen will begin to sell Soul Overlord meat now. Please line up and don’t push. Also, you must pay real cash. If I receive a fake bill, I will blacklist you forever,” Bu Fang said seriously.
The moment his voice rang out, the leaders from all over the world swarmed toward him, speaking in their own languages.
The first guest looked at Bu Fang with an excited face. Rubbing his palms, Bu Fang sauntered over to the first armored vehicle, reached out a hand, and tore off its heavy door. Inside, it was piled with banknotes.
Looking at those bills, Bu Fang raised his hand to cover his mouth, and his eyes narrowed into slits.
