A sad and shrill phoenix cry echoed through the skies, sounding unusually eerie in the darkness of the night. After being covered with water-soaked mud, the black flames were completely extinguished.
The surrounding experts all looked shocked. They were the top experts of the divine dynasty, each possessing mighty abilities. None of them was weak, and the weakest among them were elite mid-grade God Kings who could fight high-grade God Kings.
However, even they did not expect that such a freakishly gifted genius would exist in this world, one who was able to suppress a top Blood Beast King with the strength of a Demigod. Moreover, judging by the way he acted, he seemed to want to make a dish out of the Dark Blood Phoenix…
The phoenix was a very beautiful creature. Even the Blood Phoenix was exhibiting an unusual beauty, with her blood-colored feathers always neatly combed. However, she looked very miserable now. All her feathers were plucked, and mud mixed with water was being constantly slapped onto her body, making her look naked and dirty.
As blood continued to gurgle from the gash on her neck, her aura grew weaker and weaker. As one of the top experts in this relic, this was the first time she felt fear. She felt that she was probably going to die soon…
The Blood Phoenix opened her mouth and spewed out a jet of black flame, wanting to burn everything. The moisture in the mud around her began to evaporate.
In midair, Bu Fang rubbed his stomach with one hand and kept repeating a slapping motion with the other, throwing mud at the Blood Phoenix. His stomach was growling, and it was a somewhat uncomfortable feeling. He had never felt so hungry before.
As a chef, he kept himself full at all times because he thought it was shameful for a chef to starve himself. But this time, he was so hungry that he could not control himself. Why was he so hungry? Bu Fang was also puzzled. Was it because he had comprehended a supreme Law of the Universe?
But it shouldn’t be. He had eaten two Fruits of Law and had comprehended two supreme Laws before, but he had never felt such hunger.
Could it be because of the fusion of the Heavengod’s bone and blood? That was possible. After all, his body was only at the level of a Demigod, and fusing the bone and blood was a huge drain on his physical strength. This was probably the main cause of his hunger.
Since he was hungry, he should eat!
At this moment, the Blood Phoenix seemed to have turned into a steaming beggar’s phoenix in his eyes.
“Oh? You still want to struggle?”
Looking at the black flames that kept spewing out of the phoenix’s mouth, Bu Fang stuck out his tongue, licked his lips, and then the corners of his mouth curved up slightly, revealing a gentle smile.
A phoenix could rise from the ashes and be reborn. Perhaps this Blood Phoenix was trying to do just that. However, no matter what she did, she could never change the nature of her being a food ingredient in front of a chef.
Bu Fang raised his hand. A silver flame immediately emerged in his palm, emitting a scorching heat. Mighty Power of Law swirled and surged over it, while scary fluctuations spread out of it to distort the nearby void. With a shake of the hand, the silver flame turned into a tiny sparrow, flapping its wings and flying toward the Blood Phoenix below.
The Blood Phoenix’s pupils constricted. She felt her flames shrink back abruptly. She had wanted to be reborn from the fire, but the flames had now retreated into her body. What happened? She was a little frightened and did not know what to do.
The next moment, she saw a silver sparrow fly slowly toward her and then land on top of her head…
Boom!
The Blood Phoenix’s shrill cry rang out immediately as her whole body was completely enveloped in silver flames. At the same time, Runes of Law were constantly emerging and circulating between heaven and earth.
In the sky, Bu Fang’s eyes lit up.
“Now!”
Like a cannonball, he smashed down on the ground and slapped out his palm. A large amount of mud immediately shot up into the sky and turned into a huge mud ball, completely wrapping the Blood Phoenix.
The water in the mud ball evaporated instantly, and some of the mud even turned red hot from being scorched.
In the beginning, the Blood Phoenix was struggling violently, but as time went by, her struggle became more and more feeble.
Summer covered her mouth in disbelief, and her head was left with nothing but shock. ‘What the hell am I seeing?!’ Looking at the Blood Phoenix that was being wrapped in a mud ball, she felt that she could no longer think properly.
‘That’s a top Blood Beast King!’
Even the high-grade God Kings in the distance were wearing odd expressions on their faces and did not know what to say. They could not believe that the Dark Blood Phoenix, who was a top existence among Blood Beast Kings and had terrified countless God Kings in the relic with her almost invincible strength, was being made into a dish!
Suddenly, the sky exploded with a bang as the Blood Beast Kings who were hiding nearby all rushed over. They wanted to save the Blood Phoenix. The fall of a top Blood Beast King had a huge impact on the situation in the relic, so they naturally could not just watch as she was being cooked.
Bu Fang looked up, stuck out his tongue, and licked his lips. “So many ingredients…” he murmured in a low voice while controlling the fire.
His stomach gave a deafening rumble that sounded like thunder. Hunger had driven him mad. At this moment, the Blood Beast Kings flying toward him in the sky all looked like delicious meals in his eyes. He saw a flying roasted duck, a running roasted suckling pig, and a bowl of steaming tiger meat soup…
“Haha!”
“It’s rare that such a genius is born in our divine dynasty. Scram now, you foul beasts!”
A burst of laughter suddenly came from all around.
“I really want to taste the flesh of the Blood Phoenix! Haha!”
With a ripping sound, the void in the sky was suddenly torn open. Accompanied by terrifying auras, one high-grade God King after another came walking out from it. Each of them was holding a different weapon; some held a halberd, some a spear, some a sword, and some a knife.
Standing in midair, these God Kings with heaven-shattering aura blocked in front of those Blood Beast Kings.
A battle broke out in an instant. The Blood Beast Kings and the God Kings dragged each other into a fierce fight. Their Power of Law clashed with each other, and their divine power and beast blood were boiling at the same time.
Because of the numerical advantage and the fact that the Blood Beast Kings were all a bit depressed because the Blood Phoenix was killed, the final victor of the battle was the human God Kings.
The Blood Beast Kings fled into the void. To them, the loss of a top Blood Beast King was simply devastating news!
The void was continuously torn apart as the Blood Beast Kings fled. Soon, only the God Kings were left in the sky, and they all looked very happy. This battle was the most pleasant one they had fought so far, for they managed to drive those Blood Beast Kings into fleeing. With a strange look in their eyes, these God Kings looked down at Bu Fang.
There, Bu Fang stood in front of a huge ball of mud that was almost as large as a hill, with silver flames flickering inside.
He kept burning it with the Divine flame, both from inside and outside. By cooking it with two layers of flames, the meat would definitely become a superb delicacy. Of course, the quality of the Blood Phoenix’s flesh was already excellent in the first place.
Rumble!
Black clouds once again appeared in the sky. It was not the purple thunderbolt this time. Since this was just a normal lightning punishment for the dish, it was the blue thunderbolt. For Bu Fang, it was very easy to resist this kind of lightning punishment. After being blasted wildly by the thunderbolts, his eyes blazed a little as he stared at the huge mud ball in front of him.
The God Kings all landed on the ground and curiously gathered around Bu Fang.
“Little brother, are you really cooking the Blood Phoenix?” a God King asked, glancing at Bu Fang and swallowing subconsciously.
Bu Fang, however, did not answer him.
At this moment, Summer walked over. ‘I can’t believe he managed to make a dish out of a Blood Beast King!’ she thought. ‘What level of cooking skill has he reached now? Has he reached the level of a Heaven Divine Chef like Mu Hongzi? If that’s really the case, that’s a bit scary…’
“Can you really turn the Blood Phoenix into a delicacy by wrapping it in a mud ball?”
“What a strange way to cook it…”
“It should be edible, shouldn’t it? Otherwise, such a top ingredient would be wasted!”
The surrounding God Kings were muttering. They were not really top God Kings. It just happened that they were nearby, so they rushed over to help. However, they did not expect that they would encounter such a feast and were able to witness the heaven-defying cooking of a Blood Beast King.
Looking at the huge ball of mud, Summer could not help but feel curious and tempted. “Is it ready?” she asked Bu Fang.
Bu Fang glanced at her and twitched the corner of his mouth slightly. “It’s ready!”
As his voice rang out, he shot up into the sky. With the Black Constellation Wok in hand, he stepped on the air and flew straight up to the top of the huge mud ball. Then, he grabbed the wok with both hands, raised it over his shoulders, and smashed it down hard toward the mud ball.
Dong!
With a crunching sound, the solid mud ball cracked. The next moment, numerous tiny lines immediately appeared and spread across its surface.
Standing over the mud ball, Bu Fang crooked his forefinger and middle finger and lightly tapped it. The mud broke with a crackle, and a small piece fell off. Silver flames spewed out from the opening, turned into a silver phoenix, and wheeled around him. Then, it turned into a wisp of silver flame and burrowed into his palm.
Gradually, a rich meaty aroma emanated from the mud ball, whetting everyone’s appetite and making their mouths water! The smell was simply too delicious!
The God Kings, Summer, and Bu Fang were all inhaling deeply, intoxicated by the aroma! This was the charm of food, the charm of a superb cuisine!
It had been a long time since the God Kings in the relic had smelled such an aroma. They were very hungry at this moment!
Bu Fang felt like he was about to get cramps from hunger. The smell was just too tantalizing. With a shake of his hand, he took out the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife and slashed it down hard.
With a crackle, the whole mud ball split in two. He put his fingers into the crack, roared, and forcefully pulled it apart. As the ball broke open, shafts of golden light burst out of it and shot into the sky, illuminating the whole world. Then, an even stronger aroma spread and filled the air.
Both the God Kings and Summer could not help but look amazed. How delicious was the dish cooked with the Blood Phoenix, a top Blood Beast King? Everyone was looking forward to trying it!
As the shells of the mud ball fell to the ground, they immediately broke apart and crumbled. However, no one was paying that much attention. Instead, everyone was looking straight ahead.
There, suspended in midair, was a Blood Phoenix as huge as a hill. It no longer had feathers, and its flesh had turned golden brown, with beads of grease dripping from the surface. Wisps of hot steam were constantly rising from it, and the air was full of a tasty fragrance.
The golden phoenix was so beautiful that it made people’s mouths… water.
Bu Fang could not stand it anymore. He took a step forward, reached out a hand, grabbed the Blood Phoenix’s leg, and then pulled it violently! As hot grease spat and dripped, the skin and flesh separated at once!
Grabbing the huge leg of the beggar’s phoenix, Bu Fang opened his mouth and took a bite without hesitation!
