Chapter 1776: Bu Fang Enters the Palace
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The little girl’s voice struck everyone dumb. Where was the Queen of Curses? Why was it that it was a little girl who came out from behind the doors?
Gluttony Great Soul Overlord, who had turned into his true form, was laughing out loud with unbridled excitement. He was right on the bet! Something did happen to the Queen of Curses!
The graceful figure that appeared in front of everyone just now did possess mighty power, but this little girl was just a joke. Her aura was so weak that it was not even one ten-thousandth of the Queen’s!
d.u.c.h.ess Nightmare and others were stunned. They did not expect to see this at all. The Soul Demons, who were already about to flee, paused for a while. The next moment, they burst out roaring, their voices shaking the void and filled with the anger of being deceived.
d.u.c.h.ess Nightmare’s face was deathly pale, while the silver-haired woman was despairing. The Queen of Curses had turned into a… little girl? Where had the Queen who suppressed and awed the multi-universes gone? Was Void City really going to fall into the hands of these Soul Demons?
Bu Fang had a strange look on his face. He was no stranger to the little girl’s voice. Its owner was that little girl who had eaten the Death Spicy Strip in his restaurant. He was wondering where she had gone. Apparently, she had come here to pretend to be the Queen of Curses.
‘Wait… Could it be that… this little girl is the Queen of Curses?’ Bu Fang’s expression became even weirder. ‘The legendary Queen of Curses, who is on the same level as the Soul G.o.d and the G.o.d of Cooking, is actually a little girl?!’
As the Queen of Curses stepped out of the doors, her robes grew smaller, and her figure also shrunk. She seemed to notice her transformation. She slapped her forehead, then turned and went back inside the palace.
Gluttony Great Soul Overlord’s laughter resounded through the starry sky, while the other two Great Soul Overlords were sneering. The next moment, the army of Soul Demons descended once again, shaking heaven and earth!
Gluttony Great Soul Overlord raised his hand. He was left with his true form, but a powerful suction erupted from his palm and pulled countless Soul Demons to him. Before long, his fleshly body that was destroyed by the Queen’s slap had been restored.
He flexed his neck and grinned. At this moment, he looked like a huge ugly fish with a big mouth and pointy, savage-looking teeth. However, his aura was extremely formidable.
“Do it now, Soul! Something had happened to the Queen of Curses… She’s very weak now, so this is the best opportunity for us to take over Void City!” said Gluttony Great Soul Overlord, his large eyes flicking from side to side.
Soul’s pale, nervous face gradually returned to normal. ‘He’s right… There’s no more chance for me, so I’ve to make good use of this opportunity!’ Her face grew serious. Gnas.h.i.+ng her teeth, she said, “Let’s do this!”
The moment she said that, all three Great Soul Overlords soared into the air, flew across the sky, then swooped down toward d.u.c.h.ess Nightmare, who was still in shock.
Sensing the crisis, d.u.c.h.ess Nightmare’s hair stood on end. She spun and threw out a blow, which seemed powerful enough to rip heaven and earth.
However, the three Great Soul Overlords’ aura joined as one, and the power of three sins formed into a strange array. They turned into a huge paw with evil-looking claws.
The paw fell with a rumble, struck d.u.c.h.ess Nightmare, and seriously wounded her. She was knocked flying back and smashed to the ground in front of the palace, her face ashen and covered with a look of disbelief.
“What happened to Her Majesty?”
In the distance, the expressions of Bu Fang and others changed drastically.
Suddenly, d.u.c.h.ess Yunlan moved. She screamed, her voice shaking the stars, then threw a blow at the three Great Soul Overlords. Lord Dog barked and thrust his paw, which ripped the void. Holding the Death Spicy Strips between his lips, Er Ha took a step forward, pulled out his Golden Spicy Strip, and rushed toward the three foes.
Three duke-level experts struck out at the same time. The evil paw came sweeping at them. Their attacks landed on it, but they could not even move it. At most, they made its light flicker a little.
“This is…” d.u.c.h.ess Yunlan’s voluptuous body trembled.
In the distance, Nethery and Houtu narrowed their eyes, and the latter even sucked in her breath. “This is the Heavenly Demon Array! It’s an array constructed with the sinful power of Great Soul Overlords, and its power is not as simple as one plus one!”
The evil paw hovered in the sky. No matter how Lord Dog, Er Ha, and d.u.c.h.ess Yunlan attacked it, they could not destroy it, so they could not advance further.
Soul’s eyes gleamed with excitement as she walked step by step across the square. The palace was right in front of her, and she seemed to see the throne that was behind the doors. It was the throne of Void City, and as long as she sat on it, she would become the master of Void City.
“Stop right there!” d.u.c.h.ess Nightmare staggered to her feet and shouted.
Soul’s face froze. She turned to look at d.u.c.h.ess Nightmare.
After being hit by the evil paw, d.u.c.h.ess Nightmare was severely wounded, and her aura was weak. However, she was confident that she still had the strength to deal with Soul.
“You’re not qualified to sit in that place!” d.u.c.h.ess Nightmare took a deep breath and said.
“Why?” Soul did not get angry or frustrated—she just asked in a calm voice. She kept walking, drawing closer and closer to d.u.c.h.ess Nightmare. “Do you think the other two out there are more qualified than me?”
Blood trickled from the corner of d.u.c.h.ess Nightmare’s mouth, and her Nightmarish Divine Body was almost disintegrating. However, she clenched her jaws and stared coldly at Soul. ‘This woman has plunged Void City into chaos! I can’t believe she’s mad enough to bring an army of Soul Demons here… Is she going to destroy Void City before she stops?!’
“You’re not qualified,” she answered coldly.
“If I’m not qualified, then the two out there are even less qualified… I’ve exchanged everything I own today with my life! What were they doing when I was fighting for my life in the Soul Demon Universe?!” Soul said, her tone becoming faster and faster. “There’s no way they can match everything that I’ve gone through, and my qualifications are not for you to judge!”
Soul’s eyes turned scarlet. The next moment, the black orb with the power of the Seven Sins inside emerged in her hand, and then a withered paw that looked like a dried-up branch stretched out of it.
d.u.c.h.ess Nightmare’s pupils narrowed. She found that her body was pressed to the ground by the withered paw. She tried to break it with her mighty curse power, but it would not budge. ‘What is this thing?!’ she thought to herself and sucked in a cold breath.
Suddenly, Soul caught d.u.c.h.ess Nightmare’s head in her hand and pushed it to the ground. A loud boom echoed out, and the ground cracked. “Stay here… The throne of Void City is mine,” she said.
At this moment, Soul’s eyes were scarlet, and her aura was extremely terrifying. It was as if the soul inside this body was no longer the Soul who d.u.c.h.ess Nightmare was very familiar with, but another horrible being. And when she spoke, it was as if a soul was about to jump out of her. Even her voice had turned hoa.r.s.e.
She stood up, then walked with swaying steps toward the Queen of Curses’ palace. She narrowed her scarlet eyes slightly, while the corners of her lips curved upward into an excited smile.
The battle continued to rage on in the sky. Terrible attacks and rumbling sounds filled the air. By joining their power and forming the array, the three Great Soul Overlords managed to suppress Lord Dog and the others. For a moment, their fight reached a stalemate.
Meanwhile, the army of Soul Demons was attacking wildly as well. It was held off by Bu Fang and his apprentices with dark cuisine, but this was not the ultimate solution. The mental force of Xiao Xiaolong and others was draining fast.
Foxy, or HeavenG.o.d Destruction, kept shooting Soul Demon meatb.a.l.l.s, killing Soul Demons by batches. But the enemies were endless, for they could form new bodies after they were killed. This made them very difficult to be completely eliminated.
Whitey joined the battle, too. Its purple eyes flashed fiercely as purple energy beams shot out of its hand, knocking down a large number of enemies.
The few of them had stopped the army of tens of thousands of Soul Demons.
Bu Fang frowned as he turned to look at the Queen of Curses’ palace, which was now shrouded in darkness. He knew he had to find a better way to end this. “You guys hold on first… I’ll go and have a look in the palace,” he said to his apprentices.
They nodded solemnly. Supported by Bu Fang’s oyster pancakes, their mental force could still last for some time. Besides, they were a.s.sisted by Niu Hansan.
At some point, Niu Hansan had produced a kind of seed. Made with Pride Great Soul Overlord’s corpse Bu Fang had left in the farmland, whenever he sprinkled a handful of them, they fell onto the Soul Demons’ bodies and slowly swallowed them until nothing was left. It was a very effective weapon against the Soul Demons.
If it had not been for Niu Hansan, Xiao Xiaolong and the others would have been defeated. After all, there were simply too many Soul Demons. Whitey was slaughtering in the distance with the bodies of Soul Demons piling up into a hill under its feet. It looked like a G.o.d of Slaughter.
Bu Fang turned around. The Law of s.p.a.ce swirled, allowing him to directly step through the darkness. Nethery and Houtu followed. As the Cursed G.o.ddesses, they also wanted to know what had happened to the Queen of Curses. They, too, stood a chance to fight for the throne of Void City.
They traveled through the darkness and landed on the broken ground in front of the palace. They saw d.u.c.h.ess Nightmare, trapped by a withered, savage-looking branch that seemed to grow out of the ground. She lay there with a dull look in her eyes as if her life force had been sucked away by the branch.
Bu Fang, Nethery, and Houtu walked up to her. Looking at her from a close distance, they sucked in their breath. “What is this?” Bu Fang asked, frowning.
Nethery shook her head. She had no idea what this thing was. Houtu, on the other hand, was pondering. She seemed to have seen it before. Then, a horrified look came over her face as she thought of something.
“This is a ‘Soul-Devouring Tree’, which is cultivated with the essence of Soul Demons in the Soul Demon Universe!” She sucked in a cold breath.
There were many almighty experts in the Primitive Universe, but it was still having a hard time resisting the Soul Demons. The reason was not only because of the Soul Demons’ special nature, but also because of these Soul-Devouring Trees!
When Soul Overlords held the weapons made of Soul-Devouring Trees, their fighting prowess would be increased exponentially! It was said that the tree was controlled by the Soul G.o.d himself! Houtu never thought that she would see this thing in Void City.
Frowning, Bu Fang reached out a hand and touched the tree. The branch wiggled, and more tiny branches spread from it, trying to catch him.
He broke them into pieces, then he unleashed the divine flame. He planned to burn the tree. However, no sooner had the fire touched it than d.u.c.h.ess Nightmare, trapped beneath it, widened her eyes and howled.
“Stop! d.u.c.h.ess Nightmare’s soul had merged with the Soul-Devouring Tree now. If you burn the tree, you will burn her soul as well…” Houtu hurriedly stopped Bu Fang.
“Don’t mind me… Enter the palace and stop Soul… The throne of Void City cannot fall into her hands… Her will… Her will is controlled by the Soul G.o.d!” d.u.c.h.ess Nightmare said in a hurried and pained voice.
Bu Fang and the others felt a little headache, but they had no other ways to help her now. So, they stood up, turned, and started toward the palace.
The heavy stone doors stood ajar. When Bu Fang and the others came to it, they saw Soul’s swaying figure step through them in a flash. Houtu and Nethery looked at each other, then they hurried over and entered the palace as well.
Bu Fang exhaled. He was not sure if he should enter the Queen of Curses’ palace. The Queen hated chefs, and there might be many secret means in the palace that could kill him. However, after thinking about it again, he stepped forward.
Putting aside the fact that Nethery had gone into the palace, Bu Fang had a hunch that the Queen of Curses should be related to the G.o.d of Cooking. Just this alone was enough for him to enter the palace.
He opened the stone doors, took a deep breath, and walked inside. The moment he was inside, a silhouette came hurtling toward him!
