Chapter 1666: Bu Fang, I’m Hungry
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Suiren lifted his head. There was Chaotic Energy flowing in his eyes, and his body was radiating a glow of merit and virtue.
He had made the right bet. Bu Fang really found hope in the primordial fire of mankind and resurrected him. He felt Primitive Energy flowing through his body.
As a Saint of the Great Path, he could be said to be immortal. The main reason that he was near the end of his life was that suppressing the cosmic portal to the Soul Demon Universe for countless years had consumed too much of his energy. That was why his fleshly body decayed and turned into dust.
Now, he had revived in the primordial fire like a phoenix rising from flames.
His gray hair turned jet black at a rate visible to the naked eye, his aging face became much younger, and his eyes shone brightly. His bushy eyebrows and dark beard made him look very domineering. The light of virtue and merit was constantly gathering over his head.
After being resurrected, Suiren was back to his peak form. And that was not the end…
Bu Fang took a few steps back and looked at Suiren, who was recovering.
The human emperor opened his mouth and spewed Chaotic Energy. A huge amount of energy swirled around him, causing his strength to climb and grow stronger. His aura fluctuated, while extremely heavy gas seemed to be sinking deep under his eyes, s.h.i.+ning with a chaotic glow!
At the same time, flames rapidly gathered, turned into a flaming tattoo, and branded onto Suiren’s body, while a Flower of the Great Path hovered above his head, pouring down a profound aura.
In Bu Fang’s perception, Suiren’s already very powerful aura was rising and breaking through a bottleneck. The sea of fire began to churn violently at this moment.
“Hmm?” Bu Fang paused. He had thought that Suiren would be resurrected, but he did not expect that his cultivation base would have a breakthrough.
Originally, the human emperor’s cultivation base had already reached the level of a Saint of the Great Path. With the rebirth, it made another breakthrough and probably had reached the level of a Chaotic Saint.
“A Chaotic Saint…”
Bu Fang’s eyes lit up. The bowl of rice just now could be called the rice of hope. It brought hope not only to Suiren, but also to mankind.
People’s lives depend on food, so the importance of food goes without saying. As for Bu Fang, he was also baptized physically and mentally in this journey. All his confusion had been washed away.
His goal was very clear now. He would keep working hard to become the G.o.d of Cooking.
Suiren, who had returned to the prime of his life, was naked from the waist up. His lower body was wrapped with a piece of animal skin, which made him look like a primitive savage.
Laughing, he strode across the air from afar, shaking the void with every step.
“Haha! I was right about you…” Suiren said excitedly, “Being able to get the recognition of the primordial fire of mankind proves that you are different. You really are the hope of mankind!”
He came in front of Bu Fang. His aura was extremely powerful, and Chaotic Energy seemed to be swirling around him.
“Congratulations on your rebirth…” Bu Fang said with a faint smile.
“It’s all because of you!”
Suiren narrowed his eyes. It was all Bu Fang’s credit indeed. And he had made a right bet, too. If he lost the best, he might really vanish from this world completely.
Although he had left a wisp of his consciousness in the primordial fire, he could not be reborn by the consciousness alone. Bu Fang’s presence was crucial.
“You don’t have to be so humble. Heaven and earth will naturally a.s.sess every man’s merits and demerits. Come, let’s go back. It’s time to teach those Soul Demons some lessons!”
Suiren was very c.o.c.ky. Back to the prime of his life, his aura was at its strongest and he was full of vigor. Moreover, his current strength had far exceeded that of him back then.
Bu Fang nodded, looking expectant.
…
Nethery flew tumbling backward, and her armor had cracked. The dark green spear was held tightly in her hand, emitting the power of the curse.
Behind her, cursed snakes kept sticking out their tongues and exuded a terrifying aura that made the void tremble and the stars burst into pieces.
Nethery did not suppress her power now. This made it break through the restriction and reach the level of a Saint of the Great Path. This was the reason why she was able to fight Pride Great Soul Overlord to this extent.
The Soul Overlord was a Chaotic-Saint-level existence. He had pa.s.sed through the Eight Trigrams Array set up by f.u.xi and came to this world, which was a disaster for humanity.
After regaining some of his energy, Tongtian charged out again, forming the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Array with his four immortal swords to help Nethery fight the Soul Overlord.
Sun Wukong also brandished his golden-banded staff and rushed toward the Soul Overlord, his cloak fluttering.
A fierce battle broke out instantly. Three Saints of the Great Path fought against a Chaotic Saint, and yet they managed to fight him to a draw. Of course, it was also because the Soul Overlord’s strength had been greatly suppressed.
In the distance, f.u.xi and Shennong sat cross-legged in midair. Their eyes were filled with struggle. Obviously, they were also fighting with the will of the Soul Demons who had possessed them.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Terrible waves of air kept sweeping out in all directions, and stars exploded under the impact of the energy leaked from the fight.
Pride Great Soul Overlord attacked fiercely, his sinful power surging and suppressing his three opponents. Suddenly, his scarlet eyes focused, then the sinful power turned into a cage and smashed down.
In the blink of an eye, Sun Wukong was bound by streams of sinful power. He struggled, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not break free of the cage.
Nethery thrust her spear and stabbed at Pride Great Soul Overlord’s body. However, the power of sin spread along the spear and wound itself around her arm. Her face grew colder and colder.
“You’d better give up… You humans are no match for us! You are just delicious food for Soul Demons!” The Soul Overlord grinned, showing his sharp teeth. His dark golden scales glinted coldly.
At this moment, the four immortal swords made a clanging sound and flew back. Tongtian’s robe flapped noisily, and his face turned red.
Pride Great Soul Overlord looked at them playfully as if he were teasing them. The power of sin kept falling, trapping Nethery, Tongtian, and Sun Wukong, while the Soul Overlord put his hands behind him and walked in midair as if he was the victor.
His gaze fell on f.u.xi and Shennong, and his eyes flashed with a touch of indifference.
If these two men had not desperately stopped them, the almighty experts of the Soul Demon Universe would have descended long ago. As the hub of the universes, they must conquer the Ancestral Planet of mankind.
“You’re still struggling… It’s useless. Give up! Submit yourself to the will of the Soul Demon and become the faithful servant of the Soul G.o.d!” Pride Great Soul Overlord raised his chin and said arrogantly. He had no regard for the two human emperors.
In the distance, Tongtian and Sun Wukong sat cross-legged in midair. They were entangled by the power of sin, and that made them furious.
Nethery’s face was icy cold. Her cursed snakes were tearing and gnawing the black energy around her. The power of the curse could fight against the power of sin.
Soon, she broke free from the cage formed by the power of sin. With a shake of her body, she tore through the sky, holding the spear and charging toward the Soul Overlord again!
“Why are you so annoying?!” Pride Great Soul Overlord turned and roared, his voice causing many stars to burst into pieces.
Nethery grunted as several cursed snakes exploded around her. She frowned.
“Don’t think that I dare not kill you just because you’re from the Void City! The Void City can’t do anything to the Soul Demons even if I kill you!”
The Soul Overlord opened his mouth and let out a deafening roar again.
Nethery’s expression grew grave. Several cursed snakes emerged in front of her. The next moment, a terrible attack fell, and these cursed snakes burst apart in an instant.
A rumbling rang out as Pride Great Soul Overlord flicked his dragon tail, causing the void to explode.
Nethery’s face suddenly turned pale. As the cursed snakes burst apart, she flew backward, blood streaming from the corners of her mouth. Even then, she paused and looked into the distance.
There, the pulsating primordial fire began to rotate and turn into a circular hole, from which two figures slowly walked out.
Boom!
Pride Great Soul Overlord fell, clenched his fist, and threw out a punch.
Nethery raised her arms to block the punch. With a thump, her whole body shook violently, and her armor cracked further. The powerful blow knocked her flying backward again.
“Since you’re courting death, I’ll beat you until you are left with one last breath. I’ll then lock you up with cold chains and drag you back to the Soul Demon Universe… I will let you experience what is worse than death!” The Soul Overlord hissed while descending.
With a loud rumble, Nethery flew backward again and smashed into a star, kicking up a cloud of smoke and dust.
When the smoke and dust cleared, Pride Great Soul Overlord’s eyes narrowed. He saw a figure standing beside Nethery.
Bu Fang was holding Nethery and staring at the Soul Overlord. His face was cold and expressionless. “You’re courting death,” he said without emotion.
Pride Great Soul Overlord raised his brows slightly. “You’re not dead?!” He opened his mouth, and black gas could be seen gathering in it. He did not expect Bu Fang to be alive.
In the distance, Tongtian, Yang Jian, and the others were surprised when they saw Bu Fang.
“He’s still alive! I knew it!” The Empyrean Fairy breathed a sigh of relief. ‘Can this evil man create another miracle?’ she thought to herself.
As she felt the warm hands that held her, Nethery turned her head and saw Bu Fang’s expressionless face. She took a deep breath. Just then, her armor made a clicking sound and then shattered completely, turning into specks of green light.
Her face was deathly pale, her hair waving in the wind and her long black dress fluttering. Her eyes turned black again, and she fixed them at Bu Fang. Her red lips pursed and moved slowly as if to say something.
Bu Fang stared coldly at Pride Great Soul Overlord. An icy killing intent slowly spread out from his body.
“Bu Fang…” Nethery murmured.
Bu Fang turned to look at her.
“I’m hungry,” she said, pursing her red lips.
Bu Fang froze for a moment. His eyes softened considerably, then he nodded and said, “Just bear with me for a while…”
In the distance, Pride Great Soul Overlord cracked his neck bones, filling the air with a series of popping sounds.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk… If the Soul G.o.d is here and sees what you did, he’ll definitely kill all of you… The Soul G.o.d is most uncomfortable with the useless emotions of mankind!”
Immediately after he said that, a shrill sonic boom rang through the void. The next moment, he was right in front of Bu Fang, his dragon paw falling to crush the heads of Bu Fang and Nethery!
The slap perfectly demonstrated the power of a Chaotic Saint!
“Die!”
Bu Fang stared at the Soul Overlord, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.
“Senior… I’ll let you handle this guy.”
As soon as he said that, Pride Great Soul Overlord froze.
Suddenly, a huge fist rushed out of nowhere and hit the Soul Overlord’s face. The force of the blow was so great that it smashed his face, broke his teeth, and caused his eyes to pop out.
With just one punch, half of his head was blown away!
Pride Great Soul Overlord was dumbfounded, while Tongtian and the others were horrified.
What happened?
Accompanied by swirling Chaotic Energy and the Flower of the Great Path, a burly figure emerged slowly in the void. He had thick eyebrows and a thick beard.
“Why did you come so close to them when you saw them whispering to each other? Are you cold and lonely? Come… Let me keep you company!”
Suiren carried a tree branch over his shoulder and hovered in midair, glancing at the Soul Overlord from the corners of his eyes.
