Bu Fang watched as those generals materialized of the supreme Laws rushed out of the black whirlpool. His eyes lit up in an instant as if he just saw some delicious food. To the Divine flame, these generals were the most delicious food in the world, and as its master, Bu Fang naturally showed its mood.
The five generals’ auras were extremely mighty and terrible. Just by standing there, they looked like the greatest terror and were exuding dreadful pressure.
The divine dragon twisted and turned, its scales reflecting the dazzling light in the sky and its ten-thousand-foot-long body exuding a horrible aura. A rumbling sound rang out as it shrank rapidly, turning into a figure with a dragon head and a human body, who was clad in a suit of armor and surrounded by the Power of Law. Holding a halberd, the divine dragon in its human form charged toward the Divine Emperor.
In the distance, the phoenix also revealed its body and transformed into a female warrior god. Then, it raised a spear over its shoulder and flung it toward the Divine Emperor. The spear seemed to rip apart the sky, causing the air to rumble continuously as it closed in on the Divine Emperor with a monstrous aura.
The Divine Emperor roared. Facing the five generals, his aura rose as well, and his heart was full of excitement. ‘Perhaps this is the second stage of the Heavengod’s calamity! Is the calamity going to be over after this? I’m about to break through to the Heavengod realm!’ He clenched his fist and threw it out toward the five terrible existences.
Rumbling filled the air. In the sky, clouds crumbled, and the void exploded. Dreadful waves kept colliding with each other and spread out in all directions. Down below, every person in the capital was watching at the calamity.
Hovering in the distance, Bu Fang watched with gleaming eyes, while Lord Dog stuck out his tongue in shock. At this moment, Bu Fang was thinking about how to devour the five generals with the Divine flame.
Not too long ago, the Divine flame had devoured the Heavengod’s Laws, and just now, it had swallowed up many soldiers made of Laws. However, it had not yet reached its perfection. Bu Fang had a feeling that perhaps it was these five generals the Divine flame lacked.
He was eager to try, and he could not wait for the Divine Emperor to fight them. With a thought, his divine sense surged. Somewhere on the battlefield, the flickering Divine flame hovered in midair quietly, waiting for an opportunity to strike like a venomous snake.
The more the Divine Emperor used his Heavengod Punch, the brighter the blows became. Even his whole body was glowing with boundless light. At this moment, he appeared like a real mighty Heavengod. He did not use the Power of Law—he could only fight the calamity with his fleshly body.
With a loud boom, the general with a dragon head was struck by the Divine Emperor. Its body exploded into pieces in an instant, turning into the purest Power of Law and spreading in all directions. However, a moment before that happened, it thrust its halberd and hit the Divine Emperor, slicing a large gash on his body. Blood gushed out of the wound immediately.
The Divine Emperor stood in the sky like a real deity. After blowing the dragon-headed general apart with one punch, he raised a hand and grabbed the spear. Turning to the female warrior god, who was actually the phoenix, he said, “Hehe… If I’m still young, I’ll definitely make you one of my concubines!” He spat out a mouthful of blood and sneered. The next moment, he dashed forward and threw a punch at the sky, shattering the female warrior god in a flash. Two generals exploded almost at the same time.
In the distance, Bu Fang’s eyes lit up. “Now…” he murmured. The next moment, his divine sense surged, turning into a storm.
A rumbling sound could be heard as the flickering Divine flame exploded with a bright light, turned into a silver dragon, and let out a deafening roar that shook the sky. Then, it sped toward the divine dragon and the phoenix, who were drifting away while trying to transform back to the dragon-headed general and the female warrior god.
Suddenly, the flame turned into countless lotuses and sealed up the void. The divine dragon emerged and the phoenix flapped its wings, and the two of them struggled in the silver flame to free themselves of the confinement.
“What is that?!” At this moment, all the people were shocked. What happened was completely beyond their expectations. The Divine Emperor’s eyes also lit up, but he ignored that and fixed his gaze on the turtle and the white tiger.
The sky was broken, revealing a starry sky. With every punch, the Divine Emperor caused mountains and rivers to crumble and break. This was the mighty Divine Emperor who held sway over the world. Down below, the experts of the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty were shaking with fear. They thought they must have been crazy to try to plot against such an awe-inspiring Divine Emperor!
With a popping sound, the divine dragon melted and was devoured by the Divine flame. The phoenix flapped its wings to flee, but it was also rolled up by the flame. The Divine flame’s light became somewhat blurry. After devouring the divine dragon and the phoenix, it looked as happy as a child who had stolen candy.
Covered in blood, the Divine Emperor was already beyond recognition—he looked extremely miserable. He had really reached the point where he was running out of strength. How was he going to fend for himself? There was no way he could make it… His mind grew heavy, but he still kept his back straight. He was breathing rapidly, and between inhales and exhales, storms seemed to gather.
The white tiger and the turtle were also destroyed, and they were slowly recovering in the distance. Under normal circumstances, the Divine Emperor could not survive this. However, to his surprise, the Divine flame had devoured the shattered white tiger and turtle. This had given him a chance because if the white tiger and the turtle were not devoured, they would recover and turn back to their previous forms, which were extremely fearsome. The Divine Emperor was already at the end of his tether, and he could not withstand another round of attack.
The Divine flame was twisting. After devouring the Power of Law belonging to the white tiger and the turtle, it became even brighter.
In the sky, the Qilin kicked the air and snorted while a great terror seemed to be exploding out of the huge whirlpool behind it.
With disheveled hair and gleaming eyes, the Divine Emperor stepped on a cloud and charged up toward the sky. He and the Divine flame seemed to have formed some kind of tacit understanding. “I’ll destroy them, and you will… devour them! Only then will I have a chance to survive the calamity!”
A fierce battle broke out between the Divine Emperor and the Qilin general. It tore the sky as terrible rumbling caused the void to keep vibrating. Finally, the Divine Emperor waved his fist, thrust it out with all his strength, and crushed the Qilin into pieces, completely shattering it into the purest Power of Law.
“It’s your turn!” He roared, then coughed out a mouthful of blood. Though he was trembling all over, he still stood straight like a spear.
At this moment, the Divine flame sped over, turned into numerous lotuses, and enveloped the Power of Law the Qilin had turned into. The Qilin struggled fiercely, while the whirlpool in the sky also spun faster and faster. However, the Divine flame seemed to be the bane of these Laws… With the nearly perfect Power of Law, it devoured the divine dragon, the phoenix, the turtle, the white tiger, and finally, the Qilin, who represented the supreme Laws of the Universe!
At last, the Divine flame quieted down, floating and burning silently in midair. The Divine Emperor stood in the sky not far away. For a moment, the atmosphere became very quiet.
Everyone was feverishly looking up at the sky. Was it over? Was the calamity over? Did the Divine Emperor transcend the calamity?
Some people beamed with pleasure, and their bodies were shaking with joy. Gold Armor was elated, and he struggled to hold down his impulse to roar. “The Xiayi Divine Dynasty will last forever!” he cried out.
Meanwhile, the crown prince’s aura exploded out as if he was about to become a God right there and then. When he saw his father slaughter the enemy like a Heavengod—and the calamity could do nothing to stop that—he felt a thrill. As the crown prince, he knew one day he needed to be as invincible as the Divine Emperor.
The Divine Emperor had created a miracle. Throughout the ages, countless divine dynasties had fallen because their divine emperors were unable to fend off the calamities. And now, Xia Yuhe has accomplished that! He lifted his heavy head and looked at the sky. There, the whirlpool was spinning. ‘Is the calamity… over?’
Inwardly, Bu Fang was a little excited as he stared at the Divine flame. Its aura had finally reached perfection, and it seemed to have blended into this part of the world. What it needed now was a fuse, which was Bu Fang… As soon as he became a God, the Divine flame was bound to sublimate, and the improvement would be invincible!
The black whirlpool represented the calamity, and what was surging inside was the extremely terrifying calamity. A rumbling sound rang out when suddenly, the sky thundered. Lightning seemed to flash in the black whirlpool, and then a thunderbolt darted out of it like a spear.
The calamity finally made a move because it sensed that it was being hoodwinked. Someone had intervened in its karma.
The Divine flame was not a human, so the calamity did not mind that it had devoured some of its soldiers. However, it had gone too far by devouring the generals the five supreme Laws had turned into! At this moment, the black whirlpool was thundering as if the calamity had flown into a rage!
The Divine Emperor looked up, and his face had changed. He was old again, and his life force seemed to be dissipating. That was what he really was now, an old man who was in his twilight years. “The calamity is not over yet…” He felt a little bitter.
Sure enough, the calamity was not so easy to transcend. The Divine flame had helped him a lot, but still, it could not help him work miracles. “Who is the master of this magic flame?” The Divine Emperor was no fool. He knew that the flame would not have done such a daring thing if it was not controlled by someone.
Suddenly, he focused his eyes, turned his head, and looked into the distance. There, the Divine flame was burning in Bu Fang’s palm, and he nodded at the Divine Emperor.
“It’s him!” The Divine Emperor had a complicated look in his eyes. “The successor Mu Hongzi had chosen to inherit the Divine Chef Temple…”
At this moment, the expressions of Bu Fang and the Divine Emperor changed. They looked up at the same time and saw the black whirlpool had grown larger and larger. Then, a terrifying aura spread out of it. Although only a tiny wisp of the aura had spread, it already let all the people present feel extreme despair…
The Divine Emperor felt as if the whole world were pressing down on him. “This is…the might of a Heavengod!” He was utterly shocked, and his expression changed dramatically.
There were only five Heavengods in the Chaotic Universe, who represented the five supreme Laws of the Universe. Although there were fewer God Emperors, some God Kings living in seclusion were actually as strong as God Emperors. However, the number of God Kings has been fixed since ancient times. Even the identity of the five Heavengods was the same for ages. No one had ever been able to challenge them.
However, at this moment… The aura of a Heavengod was spreading from the black whirlpool. The Divine Emperor had never met a Heavengod, for they all lived in the depths of the Chaotic Universe. So, this was the first time he sensed the aura of a Heavengod, which was vast, dreadful, and… despairing.
A humming sound could be heard as the black whirlpool was forcefully ripped apart. The next moment, a hand reached out of it. It was a human palm, which looked like a woman’s hand. It was slim, fair, and glinting like the purest jade in the world. As soon as it appeared, it attracted everyone’s eyes.
The Divine Emperor was petrified, staring blankly at the palm. However, it did not slap toward him. Instead, it moved around him and went straight toward… Bu Fang. It was as though the hand was angry with Bu Fang for what he had done!
