Chapter 1652: It Doesn’t Hide the Fact That You’re Food
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“I promise you.”
These words were Bu Fang’s promise to Black Turtle. Unlike the other Artifact Spirits, Black Turtle did not need Bu Fang to cook any food for him. All he wanted was a promise.
Of the three Numbered Soul Demons, one had already been killed by Bu Fang, and the remaining two were coming through the waves with a destructive aura. At this moment, the whole world became dark, and the air was filled with monstrous killing intent.
The arrival of Soul Demons was too unexpected. Before anyone on Earth was ready, one Numbered Soul Demon after another had descended with might that could almost destroy heaven and earth. Although Earth had become much larger because of the recovery of spiritual energy, it was still unable to accommodate these terrifying creatures.
Bu Fang put his hands behind him and walked in the air, gazing indifferently at the mighty existence that was approaching from afar. A demonic aura made heaven and earth hot as if everything had begun to boil.
It was a very frightening existence. He was Rage Soul Overlord, the best of the Soul Demons, a supreme being standing at the pinnacle of the universe!
However, in Bu Fang’s perception, this Rage Soul Overlord’s aura was not very strong. His strength was about the same as Soul Thirteen—maybe a little stronger, but not much.
This made Bu Fang breathe a sigh of relief. If it was the top Soul Overlord of the Soul Demon Universe that descended, he did not think he could handle it.
After all, Soul Overlords were not ordinary creatures. They were truly immortal and indestructible beings, just like the HeavenG.o.ds in the Chaotic Universe and the Saints of the Great Path in the Primitive Universe. An existence of this level was extremely fearsome and not someone that ordinary people could deal with.
When he was fighting Soul Thirteen, Bu Fang had almost lost the battle. However, with the return of Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Gold Dragon, his strength had steadily improved. He was already much stronger than when he was in the Chaotic Universe. Even without Lord Dog’s help, he could try to suppress this Soul Overlord.
Rage Soul Overlord’s body was enormous. He was a Soul Demon from some other universe, and after killing all humans in that universe, he succeeded in ascending to become a Soul Overlord.
This time, he had come to the Ancestral Planet of mankind through the cosmic portal. He wanted to destroy everything and open the portal connecting to the Soul Demon Universe, so that the Soul Demon army could descend to this universe, take over the Ancestral Planet of mankind, and keep all human beings in captivity. Humans were just delicious food for them!
With a height of ten thousand feet, Rage Soul Overlord was standing in the ocean with his upper body exposed over the water. His skin was crimson, covered with spots and insect scales, and his eyes were shot with blood. The two Numbered Soul Demons hovered beside him, and behind him was an army of Soul Demons.
This was a disaster. There were four cosmic portals on Earth. Tongtian was in charge of one, but the other three were unattended. This allowed these Soul Demons to enter Earth through them and begin their slaughter.
“Insignificant and weak human beings…”
Rage Soul Overlord’s power of sin was the rage of the Seven Sins. He possessed unparalleled strength that could destroy heaven and earth and blast through the stars. At this moment, his gaze had locked onto Bu Fang. In his eyes, this human expert was as tiny as a fly.
The Empyrean Fairy and Nethery hovered behind Bu Fang. Dreadful pressure enveloped them. Down below, the villagers who were surrounded by Black Turtle’s aura were s.h.i.+vering, while Erdan was clinging to Black Turtle’s leg as if that was the only way to give him some sense of security.
Nethery was calm, but the fairy’s face showed fear. For her, these demonic creatures were too scary, especially the one that was as enormous as a mountain. His aura made her feel that she was facing a Saint of the Great Path.
‘What kind of monster is this?’
When Rage Soul Overlord noticed that Bu Fang’s aura was not too strong, he turned his eyes to Black Turtle. The aura emanating from the old man made his eyes narrow. He was very familiar with it. It was the aura of the human Divine Artifact that had sealed the cosmic portal for countless years. He hated the aura, and he wanted to destroy it.
With a rumbling sound, Rage Soul Overlord struck out. As his enormous body moved, monstrous waves immediately rose from the sea, sweeping toward Bu Fang and his companions.
The Empyrean Fairy nervously took out a small cup and waved it. A stream of light flew out of it and froze the waves in an instant. Suddenly, a black aura of sin burst out of the water. The fairy’s expression changed sharply as the small cup in her hand burst apart.
The frozen water was able to move again and continued to rush toward them. Nethery and Bu Fang remained calm. They had seen too many major storms, so this attack was nothing.
Since Bu Fang had promised Black Turtle to save the villagers, he would honor his words. With a thought, his powerful mental force poured forth. In the blink of an eye, the waves were pressed down with a thud, and then the sea was completely still…
Rage Soul Overlord’s pupils constricted, then his body began to slowly shrink. Eventually, he turned to the size of an average adult. His body was fat and covered with insect scales, and he had a pair of long horns on his head. A dreadful demonic aura surrounded him.
As soon as his transformation was done, he raised his hand and waved at the two Numbered Soul Demons at his side. At the gesture, they flew toward Bu Fang and surrounded him from the front and the back. At the same time, a terrible demonic aura permeated heaven and earth.
This was the Soul Overlord’s test for Bu Fang. He knew there were Saints of the Great Path among humans, who was the reason why Soul Overlords like him dared not act at will.
However, he was soon relieved when he discovered that Bu Fang was not a Saint of the Great Path. In his perception, Bu Fang’s aura was, at best, on the same level as a Numbered Soul Demon.
While the two Numbered Soul Demons surrounded Bu Fang and kept attacking him, the people down below were watching nervously.
All of a sudden, the smile on Rage Soul Overlord’s face froze. As he watched in shock, the void twisted, and then his two Numbered Soul Demons were chopped to pieces. Their insect scales burst apart, and their true forms were crushed by Bu Fang before they had time to recover.
Bu Fang was very experienced in dealing with Soul Demons.
Black blood fell on the sea like rain. Two of his Numbered Soul Demons were killed. It was a great loss to the Soul Overlord. After all, it took countless resources to cultivate two Soul Demons to this level.
The Soul Demon army roared and charged toward Bu Fang, looking like a swarm of locusts. The villagers on the ground had already lost their color. They had never seen such a scene before, and it filled their hearts with despair.
The Empyrean Fairy was pale too. How were they going to fight a being as powerful as a Saint of the Great Path and so many demons? Even if they killed them one by one, it would take a long time. Suddenly, she froze. She looked up at Bu Fang and found him very calm.
Facing the army of Soul Demons, Bu Fang’s expression remained unchanged. With a wave of his hand, a blue-and-white porcelain bowl suddenly emerged in his palm, and then he gave its edge a light tap with a flick of his finger. A crisp tinkling sound rang out, and a striped gold-and-black stinky tofu floated up from the bowl.
A pungent stench instantly filled the air. Even those villagers on the ground, who were shocked by the horrific scene, all covered their mouths and noses with their hands.
“Stinky Tofu?”
“Can stinky tofu defeat these demons? Are you kidding me?”
“Is this deity here to make us laugh?”
The Empyrean Fairy was also dumbfounded, but she soon came to her senses. She knew that Bu Fang’s stinky tofu was definitely different from ordinary people’s.
Under Bu Fang’s control, the stinky tofu flew away from the bowl and began to grow larger and larger until it was as huge as a mountain, covering the whole sky.
“Is he trying to smash these demons to death with the stinky tofu? How is this even possible?!” All the people were a little confused.
Bu Fang naturally did not care what other people thought. He was very experienced in dealing with Soul Demons. He took out the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife and swung it. In a flash, he made ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine slashes, cutting the huge stinky tofu into countless pieces.
The Soul Demons all rushed forward as if they had gone crazy, their faces filled with excitement and greed. The fragrance that permeated the air was constantly attracting them and whetting their appet.i.te. In the distance, Rage Soul Overlord frowned—his fat face showed a puzzled look.
The corners of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched slightly as he looked at the Soul Demons as if they were idiots. The next moment, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers. A crisp sound rang through the skies. For a moment, the whole world seemed to fall silent.
All of a sudden, a rumbling sound echoed out, and the huge stinky tofu fell apart, scattering into countless small pieces and flying away in all directions. The Soul Demons opened their mouths and swallowed the stinky tofu without hesitation…
The next moment, silvery red flames emerged from their bodies and burned them to ashes. Even Numbered Soul Demons could not escape the fate of being burned to death. Soon, countless Soul Demons burst into silver-red fireworks in the sky, looking very beautiful.
The villagers on the ground were all stunned. They threw their heads back and stared at the scene in disbelief, while Erdan and the other children were cheering excitedly.
“Look! Look! Fireworks!
“They are so pretty!”
The Empyrean Fairy was shocked to the core, and she looked at Bu Fang with wide eyes. ‘His cultivation base is only at the level of a Saint-to-be at most, but this means of his is comparable to that of a true Saint of the Great Path! Every piece of stinky tofu can kill a demon…’
At this moment, the Soul Demons were as fragile as tofu.
Hovering amid the dazzling fireworks, Rage Soul Overlord’s eyes erupted with rage, and wisps of hot steam began to rise from his skin. As the steam continued to rise, his body slowly became thinner—the fat in him was being converted into muscles.
As a Rage Soul Overlord, the angrier he got, the stronger he became.
“Not enough, it’s not enough… It doesn’t anger me enough. I’m not angry enough!” Sharp fangs grew out of his mouth, and his skin turned blood red as if lava were roiling under it.
Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed a piece of stinky tofu that was flying toward him. Looking at the food that gave off a delicious scent, he violently pressed it to his face and kept rubbing it on his cheeks.
“Dammit… I’m so angry!”
Boom!
Flames shot up from behind Rage Soul Overlord as if a volcano had erupted. Even the water underneath him was vaporized. His face was stained with the tiny pieces of stinky tofu, and he looked extremely furious. The angrier he got, the stronger he became! Anger was the source of his strength!
The Soul Overlord spread his arms and roared. A terrible aura exploded out of him. He was boiling with rage now—he wanted to destroy everything!
Suddenly, a spinning black wok flew over and smashed into his face with a thud. The tremendous impact made him shoot into the sea like a cannonball!
The Black Turtle Constellation Wok flew back. Bu Fang raised his hand and grabbed it, then glanced indifferently at the Soul Overlord as he was knocked flying into the sea.
“You’re angry? No matter how angry you are, you can’t hide the fact that you are a food ingredient…”
