As Di Ting said, even though the God of Chef’s Challenge was at his last gasp, he was still a supreme and formidable God who could not be dealt with by the average people.
Bu Fang had asked Lord Dog to beat the fellow until he was at his last breath before dealing with him himself, but if he was still no match for him, the consequences would be devastating. Fortunately, he had done as planned, and his Divine flame had also devoured two Laws, one more than he had expected.
Standing in front of the restaurant, Bu Fang raised his hand. A silver light burst out of his index finger. It was a small silvery flame, twitching quietly like a lotus flower.
The night sky was spotless, with only the moon hanging high and shining brightly. Although it was late at night, Yellow Spring City was still very lively as if it never slept. The air was filled with the heat of burning charcoal and the aroma of food.
The city was at its busiest at night. This had been going on for a decade, and there was a tendency for it to develop into a culture. The day in Yellow Spring City belonged to one little restaurant, and the night belonged to thousands of roadside stalls.
Bu Fang put out the Divine flame and glanced back over his shoulder at the bustling city. He gently breathed a sigh of relief, then opened the restaurant door, took out a chair, and sat in front of the door. The restaurant was closed at night, but it did not prevent him from enjoying the cool air.
Tian Cang, Er Ha, and the others were also back at this moment. They all looked at Bu Fang with strange faces, while Lord Dog went under the Path-Understanding Tree, lay down, and fell asleep.
Di Ting had transformed into a little boy, and he had a puzzled look on his face. ‘The divine sense of that God had broken into his spirit sea, but instead of replacing him, it was refined into divine sense buns… What the hell is this divine sense bun?!’
But on second thought, he didn’t find it too surprising. Bu Fang was the one who had obtained the inheritance of that man. Di Ting had followed that man before, so he naturally knew of his horror. With that in mind, Bu Fang’s extraordinariness was understandable.
Nethery stood behind Bu Fang with Foxy in her arms. The night breeze was slowly blowing her hair.
After taking a short rest, Bu Fang opened his eyes and began to sort out what he had acquired. He gained a lot on this trip to Nether Prison. He had not only condensed the Divine flame but also let the flame devour two Laws. Though he had no control over these two Laws, they were, after all, things that ordinary people dared not even imagine to own.
Bu Fang was thinking about what Laws were when he remembered the reward of his recent promotion, the Fruit of Law. In his latest breakthrough, aside from the fragment of the God of Cooking Set, the fruit was the only reward. He had not thought much of it, but now it seemed that the fruit was something extraordinary.
His palm began to glow, and then energy gathered in it, which was so violent that it seemed to crush the void. The next moment, a colorful fruit appeared over his palm. It looked a bit like a tomato, but it was colorful. Its juice could be seen swirling inside, which made it appear like a delicate work of art. This was the Fruit of Law.
Lord Dog, lying under the Path-Understanding Tree, opened his eyes and looked at Bu Fang doubtfully.
Di Ting, on the other hand, stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the Fruit of Law in Bu Fang’s hand. He could feel the great temptation emanating from the colorful fruit, which deeply attracted him. He had a feeling that if he ate the fruit, his strength might become stronger!
Therefore, he was very eager to get this fruit, so much so that a hint of greed appeared on his face. This greed was directed at the fruit. He wanted to take it for himself!
Bu Fang held the fruit and gave Di Ting an indifferent look.
The look sent a chill through Di Ting, causing beads of cold sweat to break out all over his body. He did not dare to make any moves. He was now a prisoner, and if he dared to do anything strange, Lord Dog would kill him with a paw. He was well aware that while Earth Prison Dog seemed to be sleeping all the time, his mastery of the Law of Time was actually becoming more and more mature.
He was no match for Lord Dog from the beginning, and now it was even worse. Even the God of Chef’s Challenge, who had comprehended two Laws, was defeated by Lord Dog. How could he hope to win when he was just a God who comprehended an ordinary Law?
So Di Ting could only smile awkwardly as he faced Bu Fang.
Bu Fang withdrew his glance and was too lazy to pay any more attention to Di Ting. He looked at the Fruit of Law, then opened his mouth and took a bite. As it entered his mouth, the sweet and delicious flesh turned into a stream of light and spread through his body.
Sitting in the chair, Bu Fang’s face changed suddenly. The next moment, his eyes burst into colorful light, and his Vermilion Robe fluttered. Then, his spirit seemed to be pulled by a supreme force, crossing thousands of miles in an instant as if flying through the long river of time.
After some time, his spirit stopped flying. What appeared in front of him was a vast expanse of colorful sea. It stretched as far as his eyes could see and was filled with streams of light. These light streams kept changing their appearance, sometimes into animals, sometimes into human beings, sometimes into flowers, and sometimes into rivers.
“Where am I?” Bu Fang took a deep breath. He was absolutely amazed by what he saw. His spirit wanted to enter his spirit sea, but he was horrified to find that he could not. It was as if there was a force separating them. He could not contact the four Artifact Spirits, nor could he sense his spiritual whirlpools. The only thing he could sense was the God of Cooking’s Menu, which was glowing with a golden sheen.
“Host’s spirit is now in the Chaotic Sea of Laws, where all Laws were born.” The System’s serious voice rang out, explaining everything to Bu Fang.
Bu Fang’s tense mood lightened at the familiar voice. It was then that he began to look around. ‘This is the Sea of Laws… Is it because I have eaten the Fruit of Law that I am beginning to comprehend Laws?’ he thought, narrowing his eyes. ‘If this is the case, that would be great!’
He suddenly thought of something. To become a Demigod, one needed to comprehend the Laws. However, a Demigod was not much different from a Great Saint. So, if he wanted to become a Demigod, he probably just needed to comprehend a Law and did not need to achieve any turnover target.
After thinking this through, Bu Fang became a little excited. If he could become a Demigod, his cooking skills would surely improve even more. After all, Demigods possessed divine sense. In cooking, the divine sense was bound to have more advantages than divine will.
‘Perhaps this is the value of the Fruit of Law, which is to help me comprehend the Laws.’
The next moment, he began to fly like a bird in this Sea of Laws, feeling the Power of Laws that kept caressing his face. There were many Laws here, including the Law of Fire, the Law of Water, the Law of Ice, the Law of Storm, and a variety of others.
However, Bu Fang was not attracted by any ordinary Laws. What he wanted to comprehend was the strongest Laws of the Universe like Lord Dog’s. Only that kind of Law could make his power stronger and provide him more security on the path of becoming a God of Cooking.
Bu Fang kept flying forward, leaving all kinds of Laws behind. Suddenly, he came to an empty area, and five huge beasts appeared in front of him.
“Oh?” His pupils constricted in an instant. “A dragon, a phoenix, a turtle, a white tiger, and a Qilin…”
Each of the five mythical beasts exuded a majestic aura, which was much stronger than any Laws he had just seen.
“They are the strongest Laws of the Universe!” Bu Fang took a deep breath as a hint of excitement came over his face. “Is this the strongest Law of the Universe comprehended by Lord Dog?”
Indeed, these were the five strongest Laws: Time, Space, Destruction, Life, and Transmigration! They were the five universally recognized supreme Laws, but there were probably other supreme Laws that had not been discovered.
Bu Fang’s divine will surged forward and enveloped the five supreme Laws. If he could comprehend one of them, it would definitely bring him tremendous benefits. The Fruit of Law had given him the opportunity to comprehend the Laws, so he could not waste such a good opportunity.
He sat cross-legged down in midair with his back to the colorful Sea of Laws. The next moment, thousands of Runes of Law emerged around him, while the illusory mythical beasts materialized by the Laws were slowly approaching him.
…
Outside the Great Netherworld, the stars blinked quietly. All of a sudden, the void began to shake and slowly split into a giant blue hole. Soon after, a warship sailed out of it.
This was a black warship made of some unknown material. It was as huge as a mountain, and on its main mast, there was a huge flag with the words ‘Divine Dynasty’ written on it. Obviously, it was sent by the Divine Dynasty.
The warship did not seem to move very fast, but in the twinkling of an eye, it had sailed tens of thousands of miles and flew toward the Great Netherworld. Its deck was packed with people, all of whom emanated mighty auras.
With a creak, the door to the cabin opened, and a group of people emerged from it. They were led by a man who was more beautiful than a woman. All the so-called peerless beauties paled against him. His figure was perfectly proportioned, his long hair spread out behind him, and his skin glowed like white jade.
He was a perfect man from every angle. All the people around him looked at him in awe.
“We have reached the Great Netherworld, my lord,” said a general to the beautiful man.
The man clasped his hands behind his back, walked to the bow, and looked into the distance. His eyes seemed to cross thousands of miles and landed on the huge Great Netherworld. Then, the corners of his lips curved upward, revealing a charming smile.
“Netherworld, I’m… back.”
As his voice rang out, the warship burst into light and sailed through the void toward the huge landmass that was the Netherworld.
…
In Immortal Cooking Realm, the Immortal Tree was shaking violently. Its branches lashed wildly, cracking the surrounding void, while the figure made of its branches stared fixedly at the sky.
Realm Lord Di Tai landed beside the figure and sucked in a cold breath. He could feel the uneasiness and fear in the Immortal Tree, which he had never felt before.
“Here he comes,” said the figure.
The next moment, a dark shadow fell over Immortal Cooking Realm with a deafening rumble, covering the sky. Realm Lord Di Tai’s pupils constricted. He felt as if his heart had been grasped by a big invisible hand and was about to explode.
In the fifth layer of Immortal Cooking Realm, a huge black warship hovered in the sky. Waves of terrifying energy emanated from it, causing the surrounding void to collapse.
