Ah Zhuang’s body flew away, tumbling a few times across the ground before he managed to stabilize himself. Kneeling on one knee, he slowly raised his head.
The flaming dragons around Nethery were extinguished by Bu Fang with a wave of his hand. She pursed her lips and looked at him. At this moment, her black eyes had returned to normal, and life had come back to them as well.
Foxy was jumping in Nethery’s arms, looking very excited as she waved her little paws. She seemed very happy that Bu Fang punched Ah Zhuang who bullied her.
Bu Fang signaled Nethery and Foxy to move back while he stood at where he was, looking indifferently at Ah Zhuang, who knelt on one knee in the distance. When his fist touched Ah Zhuang’s flesh just now, he felt something strange. This man was already dead, and his body was now being controlled by a different person.
In the distance, a deep laugh rang out. Ah Zhuang slowly raised his head. His whole face had collapsed and twisted grotesquely. However, it gradually swelled up as if the air was being pumped into him, and soon, he was back to normal. It was as though he was made of rubber.
“Divine power… I can’t believe you possess divine power! This aura, this oppressive power…” Ah Zhuang jerked his head up. His pupils had shrunk to the size of sesame seeds, and his face was full of madness! No one knew whether he was laughing or scowling.
Buzz…
A blast burst out of his body and spread in all directions. Then, he raised a hand and pointed a finger at Bu Fang. At the gesture, another flaming dragon emerged, wheeled in the sky, and rushed crazily toward Bu Fang, bringing with it the Power of the Law strong enough to destroy the world.
Bu Fang remained standing where he was and took a deep breath. Holding the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife, his divine will rolled around him, which seemed to suppress even heaven and earth.
After crushing a liquid drop, the God of Cooking’s divine power filled his whole body, making him feel that he could shatter heaven and earth with one punch now! In fact, he did not have much insight into the power of the divine power liquid drop.
As the flaming dragon approached, Bu Fang spun the kitchen knife. There seemed to be a hazy layer of divine power covering the knife. He brought it up and made a straight cut, hacking the dragon in half in a flash.
“A slash… Cutting Immortal Style!”
Bu Fang’s indifferent voice rang out. The next moment, countless knives appeared and gathered in midair into one huge knife, which shone dazzlingly and blotted out the sky.
“This kind of power…” Ah Zhuang’s eyes were full of madness, and blue veins kept popping up across his skin, wriggling like worms. Then, he threw a punch at the sky. The ground broke, and a rumbling sound rang out as a huge flaming dragon rose into the sky and collided with Bu Fang’s knife.
The flaming dragon that contained the Power of the Law and the knife filled with divine power crashed into each other, and they seemed to be equally strong. For a moment, the air rang to a deafening rumble and filled with monstrous blasts, while terrible energy waves kept sweeping out in all directions.
The battle attracted the attention of many the moment the first explosion echoed out. The extermination of the Nether Chef Clan was a major event to begin with, so it naturally attracted many people when a violent battle broke out in their homeland. Countless experts went there at full speed.
These experts hovered in midair far away from the battle. Even the Patriarchs of the nine Nether Prison clans had shown up. Of course, most of them were newly elected. Except for Fire Demon Patriarch and Shadow Demon Patriarch, the other Patriarchs were all new faces. In any case, their cultivation bases were not weak.
Hovering in midair, they all looked at the homeland of the Nether Chef Clan, which was shrouded in dark clouds. What they saw shocked them.
“Who’s that burly man?! He’s so strong!”
“That feels like the aura of the Power of the Law… Is there another existence in the Netherworld who has grasped the Power of the Law aside from Patriarch Di Ting and Earth Prison Dog?!”
“Look! That’s the owner of Yellow Spring Little Restaurant! Why is he here?”
Everyone was stunned. They did not expect to see a battle like this. The main reason was that the burly man who grasped the Power of the Law was a peak existence in the Netherworld! On the other hand, the owner of Yellow Spring Little Restaurant was just a Great Saint, and yet he was able to fight such an existence!
It was indeed terrible!
“Could the burly man be the culprit behind the Nether Chef Clan’s extermination?”
Someone thought of that, and the suggestion was soon agreed by everyone.
Meanwhile, the battle was turning white-hot. Ah Zhuang was extremely excited, and his body seemed to be shaking. His original target was the Cursed Goddess, but after Bu Fang crushed the liquid drop and unleashed a formidable strength, he had changed his target to Bu Fang.
That kind of power… He could not be sure now, but once he had confirmed it… that would make his blood boil!
Rumble!
The surrounding ground kept crumbling. Bu Fang hovered in the sky with thousands of knives wheeling around him.
Ah Zhuang was grinning, but his eyes were full of malice. One flaming dragon after another emerged around him, roaring wildly. Each of them contained terrible Power of the Law.
Bu Fang glanced indifferently at them.
Vengeful souls drifted around them, and countless broken souls growled resentfully. These were the wills of the dead Nether Chefs. They wheeled around Ah Zhuang, howling like ghosts.
The stoves were broken, but their flames were still burning. Among these flames, some were Immortal flames, some were Nether flames, and some were too strange to name. They were all flames controlled by Nether Chefs.
Nether Chefs had cultivated them with hearts and souls, and they were the key that helped them cook delicious food. Although the Nether Chefs were dead now, the flames were not quenched. They still burned ragingly.
Bu Fang stared sharply down at Ah Zhuang. Then, the countless Immortal flames and Nether flames began to pour toward him like moths flying toward the fire. It was as though they were attracted by some will.
It was a spectacular scene. Countless flames roared as they gathered into Bu Fang’s flame, forming what looked like a blooming flower bud, extremely beautiful to behold.
Even then, Ah Zhuang floated up as well. Surrounded by the flame of Law, he glanced disdainfully at Bu Fang, who seemed to be absorbing those unowned flames. In his opinion, those flames were extremely inferior.
“Do you feel the anger and resentment in those flames?” Ah Zhuang asked, grinning. “If you absorb them, you will have to accept their karmas as well… Do you dare to do that?”
“What is karma?” Bu Fang asked with a straight face as globs of flame swirled around his white flame.
“They died because of my Chef’s Challenge… If you devour these flames, it means that you must defeat me in a Chef’s Challenge on their behalf… This is the so-called karma,” Ah Zhuang said. Then, he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, looking somewhat greedy.
‘Let’s have a Chef’s Challenge! Once we fight in a Chef’s Challenge, I will be able to know your secrets and confirm everything about you… And as long I defeat you, all your things will be mine!’ Ah Zhuang roared wildly in his mind, his heart full of greed and desire. Bu Fang’s aura of divine power was attracting him like a nightmare.
“A Chef’s Challenge?”
Bu Fang bowed his head and began to ponder. He could feel that these were all Ah Zhuang’s traps, and the purpose of that was to force him to a Chef’s Challenge. How could he not know anything about the Chef’s Challenge? The System had once provided him a Chef’s Challenge, and the Nether Chef Clan had Chef’s Challenges as well… And now, this Ah Zhuang wanted a Chef’s Challenge.
Around them, the vengeful souls were howling. Their voices lingered in the air while one glob of flame after another bloomed like flower buds, extremely beautiful. However, the more beautiful they were, the greater the risk they contained.
Down below, Nether and Foxy held their breaths and dared not to say a word. Even the experts watching from far away were sucking in their breaths.
The air rang to shrill whistles as more experts arrived, some from Nether Prison, some from Earth Prison, and some from nearby small worlds.
Many suspected that Ah Zhuang was a God. But even if he was indeed a God, so what?
The sky was torn apart, then a black dog walked out with cat-like steps, his fat jiggling. Behind him, a short-legged dog followed obediently.
The appearance of both dogs made everyone silent. No one dared to speak again. The strongest God of the Netherworld, Earth Prison Dog, was here! How dare they be rude to him when even Di Ting had become his God Slave? Even the Patriarchs of the nine Nether Prison clans nodded and bowed to Earth Prison Dog.
Lord Dog paid them no mind. He lazily raised his eyes and looked at Ah Zhuang, who was confronting Bu Fang in the distance.
“Oh? A complete Law… Is he a God?” Lord Dog murmured, the fat on his face jiggling.
“Not a real God. He’s just here by possessing someone else’s body… But since he knows this trick, he’s not an average God,” Di Ting said.
The people around them sucked in their breaths.
“So this guy is really a God!”
“I can’t believe Owner Bu is confronting a God!”
The crowd exploded into an uproar.
Rumble!
Suddenly, the white flame in front of Bu Fang burst into light and devoured all the Immortal flames, Nether flames, and strange flames hovering around it. As it kept devouring them, its power began to climb, while an extremely strange and unusual aura began to spread from it!
Ah Zhuang’s pupils constricted. The next moment, he opened his mouth and burst out laughing.
“So you accepted it! I’m afraid that you cannot bear this karma!”
Ah Zhuang laughed crazily. He was the God of Chef’s Challenge, so how could he be defeated in a Chef’s Challenge?! He could not be defeated! As long as he won, all of Bu Fang’s secrets would be his!
Perhaps too excited, Ah Zhuang’s eyes burst into bloody light, which turned into a blood-colored array in the sky and enveloped Bu Fang in an instant.
In the distance, Lord Dog furrowed his brows. “A God’s Sphere?”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk… Bu Fang is doomed! If I’m right, that fellow should be the clone of the God of Chef’s Challenge, who is worshiped by the Nether Chef Clan. The extermination of the clan should be related to him,” Di Ting said gloatingly. “Bu Fang could only leave the Sphere of the God of Chef’s Challenge after defeating that guy. Otherwise… he will die.” Di Ting chuckled.
“The God of Chef’s Challenge?”
Lord Dog’s face trembled slightly, then he raised his paw. The Runes of Law swirled around the paw, while the Law of Time twisted and crumbled the void.
“I don’t care what God he is. I’ll kill him with a paw,” Lord Dog said lightly.
That startled Di Ting. “Are you insane?! Your paw might be able to destroy the God’s Sphere, but… Bu Fang will die for sure! We can only wait and see if Bu Fang could win the Chef’s Challenge,” he said, looking in the distance.
Lord Dog pulled back his paw, and a cold look emerged in his eyes. “If Bu Fang is hurt, I will go to the Divine Dynasty and kill this f*cking God of Chef’s Challenge!”
Di Ting narrowed his eyes.
Rumble!
Countless flames were quickly consumed by the white flame. Bu Fang once obtained the ability to devour flames from the System, but he rarely used it. Now that he had devoured so many flames at once, he felt a burst of pressure. It was as though his body was swelling.
When the last glob of flame was devoured, the white flame began to ripple and transform.
In Bu Fang’s spirit sea, Black Turtle suddenly opened his eyes as if he sensed something. Then, a rumbling voice rang out of his mouth, “Little Host, quick! Merge one divine power liquid drop with the flame!
“This is a rare opportunity… The God of Cooking’s divine power can be used as a guide to condense a divine flame that can fuse with the Law! You can’t miss this opportunity!”
