In the Xiayi Divine Dynasty, the status of chefs was not low. This might be due to the emergence of the Divine Chef Temple. However, even without it, chefs were still respected by many.
Chefs could process ingredients and cook them into delicious dishes, giving food special power that enables people who eat them achieve breakthroughs and comprehension. A profession like this was well respected everywhere.
But chefs were never fearsome fighters, and this was an accepted fact. How could a person acquire formidable strength when he spent so much time and effort on cooking? A man’s energy was limited, after all.
Therefore, among the younger generation of the Xiayi Divine Dynasty, none of the geniuses was a chef. Now, however, the young man who exhibited extraordinary fighting strength in front of everyone was actually a chef.
The young master’s pupils constricted as he stared at Bu Fang in disbelief. Not only him, but all the people were stunned, terrified by the scene playing out before their eyes. Like the most horrible scene in the world, it filled their hearts with disbelief.
Each of King Pingyang’s soldiers was very strong, and the combined strength of three soldiers was enough to fight a mid-grade God. However, what was happening in front of them had completely turned their world upside down.
Instead of running away from the three Gods, Bu Fang chose to attack them. Was he planning to go head-to-head with King Pingyang’s three guards? The young master had given him a chance, but it was for him to run away, not to fight back. No one could predict his fate after fighting them head-on, but it was very likely that he would be torn apart by the guards and killed in an instant.
The Power of Laws was surging as if to form a terrible storm that could not be stopped. Many people were moving back. The people present were not weak, and they were all people with noble status in the Divine Dynasty. However, in the face of this clash of Gods, they could not help but retreat. Had they not, they might be inflicted by the lethal energy blasts.
Luo Sanniang’s face was pale. ‘Instead of running away, he chose to fight them head-on? Is there something wrong with this young man’s mind? The young master had given him a chance! Why didn’t he take advantage of it?!’
Meanwhile, Master Cheng’s face was already twisted with madness. He never thought that Bu Fang would make this decision! ‘He’s courting death! Yes, yes! He’s dead!’
The three guards were expressionless. Their duty was to carry out the young master’s order. Since the young master had asked them to take down this chef, they would do as they were bid.
Their Laws rumbled as their spears ripped the void, causing the void to tremble and crumble. Their might shocked all the watchers. Although they were just guards, they were no ordinary guards. At the very least, they were much stronger than that Master Cheng. Every God was hard to deal with, and this was an accepted fact.
Suddenly, the guards’ pupils constricted slightly, and their hearts trembled. They felt resistance, which prevented their spears from going further. In their eyes, the insignificant chef’s strength skyrocketed, reaching a level that they had to look up to. When facing him, they felt as tiny as ants. It was as though this chef was the real God instead of them.
The next moment, the chef made a straight cut with his golden kitchen knife. The void cracked under the sharp edge of the blade, which came with terrible energy that filled the air with a loud rumbling sound. There was no Power of Law. The three guards could not sense any Power of Law on the kitchen knife. However, they felt an indescribable sense of crisis rise from the bottom of their hearts, making their bodies and minds shiver.
One of the guards sucked in a cold breath and cried out, “This is… a divine power!”
In everyone’s eyes, Bu Fang’s kitchen knife collided with the three spears. The collision of the pure knife energy and the Power of Laws produced a deafening rumble. The Law of Strength, the Law of Tear, the Law of Light, and many other Laws mixed and exploded in a flash.
The void was torn and ripped apart by the explosion, and dreadful turbulence leaked out of it. To everyone’s disbelief, the flashing Power of Laws was backing away from the knife energy!
An explosive boom echoed out, and the three guards moved several steps back in midair, filling the air with a loud thud with every step.
“Ugh?! What happened?!” Everyone was shocked and confused, their pupils constricted.
The young master took a deep breath while his clasped hands squeezed tighter and tighter. ‘Father’s guards are… forced back! Even I can’t do this!’
“It’s a divine power!” A flush crept up the neck of one of the guards as his eyes widened in disbelief, staring at Bu Fang as if he was a ghost. “How could a Demigod use a divine power?!”
What was a divine power? Only a God who had comprehended the supreme Law of the Universe could use a divine power. It could not be used by an average God, even when this God had comprehended the top Law. And those who had comprehended the ordinary Laws could never touch it unless they had become God Kings.
It appeared that Bu Fang had only slashed out one knife energy, but in a flash, the knife energy turned into nineteen thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine knives, cut their Laws into pieces, and forced them to keep moving backward.
Obviously, this chef had mastered a divine power, and it was not an ordinary one!
One of the guards wobbled, then opened his mouth, clutched his chest with a hand, and spewed out a mouthful of blood stained with gold. Hit by the divine power, the energy in him boiled violently and impacted his body, almost causing it to disintegrate.
‘This is too horrible! What kind of existence did the young master offend?!’
“What?! King Pingyang’s guard… coughed blood!”
“Are they defeated?!”
“Impossible! A Demigod could never defeat three of King Pingyang’s guards, unless this Demigod is a genius like the young master!”
The watchers kept exclaiming. They were shocked by Bu Fang’s amazing fighting strength. Also, they all heard the words shouted by the guard. A divine power? What divine power? How could a Demigod use a divine power? A look of horror came over everyone’s face. No one doubted the guard. After all, only a divine power could crush the Laws.
“A divine power… How could a mere Demigod comprehend a divine power? Even a prince can’t do that!” The young master was no longer calm. He clenched his fists tightly, and his face was full of shock.
Luo Sanniang’s eyes lit up. “I see!” she said in a soft voice, her red lips parted slightly.
Her voice instantly attracted the attention of all. The people present turned and looked at her. Even the young master was fixing his eyes on her.
“I know what Bu Fang’s divine power is! It’s from the seal of the ancient Heavengod’s inheritance!” Luo Sanniang clenched her fists, her beautiful and charming face covered with a happy smile.
“There’s a test in the first seal of the ancient Heavengod’s inheritance, and those who completed the test can comprehend a knife technique called the Kitchen Knife of Affliction. It’s an amazing knife technique. The Divine Chef Temple had once sent a Perfected God to examine it. The knife technique can turn into a divine power!”
Luo Sanniang was just as shocked inside. She was telling the truth, but the God also said that it would be extremely difficult to turn the knife technique into a divine power. ‘Bu Fang is really…talented! The Divine Chef Temple must protect him at all cost!’
Hovering in midair, Bu Fang held the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife, his face calm. The Kitchen Knife of Affliction was very strong. Although this was the first time he used it in a fight, he felt his blood boil. When he thrust the knife, the little golden knife in his spirit sea trembled and released a monstrous knife essence, which turned into a divine power. He felt as if he could poke a hole in the sky with the knife.
After coughing blood, the three guards’ auras surged, and they clutched their spears tightly again. Their fighting spirit was soaring. As someone who had followed King Pingyang to war, they refused to allow themselves to be defeated by a mere Demigod, not even when this Demigod could use a divine power.
“You are not a God yet, so you cannot fully utilize the divine power! Whatever happens, you cannot run away from us!” one of the guards roared. Their auras towered into the sky like dragons, surrounded by the Power of Law. The next moment, they sped forward, unleashing their divine abilities. It was the divine ability taught by King Pingyang, which was the absolute killing technique in battlefields.
With the three of them using it at the same time, it was as though ten thousand beasts were galloping across the void, stomping across everything. It was the most primitive killing intent, the pressure from the battlefield.
Columns of murderous aura thrust into the sky across the whole mansion, echoing to the killing intent unleashed by the three guards. They made the three guards’ auras even stronger!
The hearts of all the experts present raced. Even the young master felt a pang of oppression. These were his father’s soldiers, the soldiers who fought for the God King Pingyang! His eyes shone brilliantly, and his heart was filled with awe.
The crowd, including Luo Sanniang, fell silent at this moment.
Bu Fang felt the pressure, and his movements seemed to slow down. In that pressure was an indomitable fearlessness, with a disregard for life and death. There was certain respect in his heart for these soldiers. They used their lives to defend the dynasty, so he felt he had to fight with all his might, too, and perhaps that was the only way to show his true respect for them.
Bu Fang focused his eyes, and his spirit sea began to rumble. The next moment, the true-form of his divine sense, who was sitting cross-legged over the God of Cooking’s Menu, opened its eyes. A humming sound rang out as his powerful divine sense swept out like a storm.
The emergence of his divine sense immediately made it difficult for everyone to breathe. Then, he waved his kitchen knife, which let out a deafening roar.
“The Kitchen Knife of Affliction!”
Bu Fang’s calm voice echoed out, and the little golden knife in his spirit sea kept trembling. The next moment, all the light in the world seemed to fade away, and all that was left was a lean figure, who casually thrust out a kitchen knife.
The sky was filled with knives, and if one were to count them one by one, there were a total of nineteen thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine knives. Soon, all the knives converged and turned into one knife, which collided with the terrible attack unleashed by the three guards.
An explosion erupted instantly, and the air rang to a deafening rumble. A divine ability was inherently weaker than a divine power, but this time, they were equal.
Bu Fang took a few steps back in midair, and his hands holding the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife was trembling.
On the ground, the light from the knife faded away, revealing the three guards. They were gasping for breath with blood running from their noses and mouths. Finally, they dropped to their knees. They were defeated in the end!
Everyone sucked in a cold breath.
The young master’s pupils constricted, and as he looked at Bu Fang’s expressionless face, a sudden excitement surged in him. ‘A divine power is truly amazing!’
A sonorous sword cry rang out. The young master stepped forward as the Law of Destruction surged over his head.
“You are just a Demigod, and yet you have already possessed a divine power… You truly are a man valued by the Divine Chef Temple!” said the young master. “I will not make things too difficult for you today. Fight me! I will let you go no matter what is the outcome of our fight!

“You have defeated the guards of King Pingyang’s mansion without even using your Law. This upsets me more than anything!”
A silver sword was held in the young master’s hand. It gave a loud cry, which tore the void. The young master’s hair stood up, straight as spears, and each seemed to poke a hole in the void. With the sword in hand, he walked toward Bu Fang, taking one step at a time. His eyes were full of fighting spirit.
