“What is this?!” Soul Thirteen’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the iron lump that walked out of the restaurant.
The bald iron lump’s appearance was quite a match for the silver scaled armor on his body. However, why did this thing have the courage to act wild in front of him? It even said it would strip him in public? He could easily crush this iron lump in an instant!
He folded the wings on his back and walked forward, step by step. The floor of the restaurant shook and rumbled as his scarlet eyes turned around and then fell upon Bu Fang.
Bu Fang was sitting in a chair. A strange aura was fluctuating around him, and he looked as if he was about to ascend into the void.
Soul Thirteen’s pupils constricted. Yes, this was the damn stinky chef!
From the moment he was forced to eat the oyster pancake, he held a deadly grudge against this chef. Even though he was a Gluttony Soul Overlord now, he still felt disgusted when he thought about the taste of that foul thing.
So, he swore that he would go to the ends of the world to kill this stinky chef! Keep him in captivity? That was impossible! This stinky chef must be slaughtered and eaten now!
His eyes turned and rested on Bu Fang’s side. Nethery sat there, looking coldly at him without any emotion on her face.
“So the Cursed Goddess and the stinky chef are both here…”
Soul Thirteen felt a pang of hunger coming from his stomach. As a Gluttony Soul Overlord, all he had to do was eat! He was going to eat everything!
“I’ll start with the chef, and then the Cursed Goddess… Hehehe…”
He began to laugh as if he had lost his wits. Then, he trotted off toward Bu Fang.
He did not think that anyone could stop him. With the strongest human being, Xia Yuhe, lying like a dead dog in the doorway of the restaurant now, who else could stop him?
Lying flat on his stomach under the Path-Understanding Tree, Lord Dog slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Soul Thirteen, and yawned. Then, he turned his chubby body to the other side and…went back to sleep.
Rumble!
With each step Soul Thirteen took, the whole restaurant trembled. As he drew near, he thrust out his long, sharp silver claws at Bu Fang. He wanted to rip Bu Fang’s head off with one twist!
Suddenly, a huge palm blocked in front of him. Looking at it, he paused for a brief moment. Then, his sharp claws and the palm collided with a clanging sound.
To his surprise, his claws were actually blocked! How could this iron lump hold him back? He was a Soul Overlord!
“What the heck are you?!” Soul Thirteen’s eyes erupted with radiant light as he roared in anger. He was going to unleash his dark power and destroy this iron lump once and for all when…
Boom!
“Troublemaker, you will be stripped as an example to others…” Whitey said mechanically. Then, the flags behind it clanged, rose into the air, and came down.
At this moment, Soul Thirteen found that the Soul Overlord’s power surging inside him like magma could not be mustered, as if it was blocked by some stronger force.
For a moment, he could not break free of the invisible shackles put on him. When he was about to free himself, however, the iron lump was already closing in.
Soul Thirteen opened his mouth and growled. At that moment, he was still caught in the confusion of not being able to use his Soul Overlord’s power, and the expression on his face seemed a bit odd.
With a thud, a huge fist approached and slammed into his face, forcing him to take a step backward.
Whitey’s mechanical eyes flashed as it continued its attack. Although it was chubby, it moved with great agility. In the blink of an eye, it closed in on Soul Thirteen’s side, slapping the latter’s head repeatedly with its huge palms.
The clanging of metal against metal rang out endlessly.
Soul Thirteen was dumbfounded by Whitey’s attack. He did not expect that, as a Soul Overlord, he would be pinned to the ground and beaten up by a lump of an iron puppet in a restaurant.
Xia Yuhe, who was lying in front of the door, stared with wide eyes. Even though he was seriously injured, he had to watch the scene with his own eyes. Only now did he know that the iron lump in Bu Fang’s restaurant was so fearsome, so much so that it was able to suppress Soul Thirteen, who was an existence equivalent to a Heavengod!
“The Clothes-Stripping Crazy Demon!”
Outside the restaurant, many people were in an uproar. Many of the experts who had suffered from Whitey’s inhuman treatment were inexplicably excited. Since even such a fearsome Soul Demon was suppressed by this puppet, it was no wonder that they were stripped by it.
Soul Thirteen was stunned by Whitey’s barrage of attacks. He could not even react for a moment. Suddenly, his silver face froze as the puppet’s huge palms grabbed his shoulder and his thigh and lifted him.
“Strip!” Whitey’s mechanical eyes flashed. With a wave of its hand, it was about to start stripping Soul Thirteen’s clothes. However, the silver insect scales covering Soul Thirteen’s body were the Soul Demon’s armor, and they were actually considered part of his skin.
As Whitey’s hand ran over them, it failed to strip anything. It turned out that Soul Thirteen was naked from the beginning…
It was Whitey’s turn to be dumbfounded. Obviously, it could not understand why it cannot successfully strip clothes and why Soul Thirteen’s body was so slippery. The Clothes-Stripping Crazy Demon had failed for the first time!
“So the use of divine power is forbidden in this restaurant? Whether it is the Power of Law or the Power of Sin? Interesting!”
Soul Thirteen looked down at Whitey. Even though their current posture was quite indecent, he did not care.
He had already figured out Whitey’s trick. The iron lump was not strong. It only relied on the power of the restriction in the restaurant to force its opponents to fight with their physical bodies.
But as a Soul Overlord, he was never afraid to fight with his body!
Soul Thirteen grinned, lifted his hands, and grabbed Whitey’s round head. Then, his eyes lit up, and he slammed his forehead toward the puppet’s head!
With a clanging sound, sparks flew. The head slam knocked Whitey staggering back several steps, its mechanical eyes flashing.
“You can only fight with your physical body here?” Soul Thirteen kept sneering. He had thought the iron lump was some hidden Heavengod, and it scared him so much that his heart skipped a beat. He knew that he, who had just become a Soul Overlord, was no match for the veteran Heavengods in this Chaotic Universe.
However, he was now sure that this iron lump was actually just a little bit weird. After all, he was a Soul Overlord, so he was not afraid of physical combat at all.
His head kept pounding down. Protected by the insect scales, he was not afraid of impacts at all.
Whitey was a little blinded by the impact.
Soul Thirteen’s eyes flickered as his insect scales made a clicking sound. The next moment, a stream of insect scales shot out and wrapped around Whitey’s body.
It was as if Whitey was covered by a large net. Its mechanical eyes flickered as it struggled for a while, but it never managed to get up. It looked just like a turtle that had been turned over…
Soul Thirteen grinned, toying with his sharp claws. Then, he locked his gaze on Bu Fang. No one would stand up to stop him this time, right?
Nethery’s eyes narrowed. She had not expected Whitey to be defeated so quickly, but she was not too surprised. She slowly stood up. With a rumble, her hair turned ghostly green in an instant, while ghostly green energy seeped out from her body.
Although she had not yet perfectly mastered the power of that female corpse, she could no longer hide her strength now. Soul Thirteen was putting too much pressure on her.
“The power of the Cursed Goddess… It’s a pity that you’re not yet a Perfected Cursed Goddess!” Soul Thirteen sneered.
As Nethery raised her hand, the ghostly green cursed snake appeared. Circling her, the snake hissed and stuck out its forked tongue, bursting with terrifying power. The curse power was not part of the Universe’s supreme Laws, but it was not weaker than any of the supreme Laws.
Her hair fluttered up. Strutting her long, fair legs, she slowly walked toward Soul Thirteen.
“Go…” she said softly.
The cursed snake twisted its body, opened its mouth, bared its sharp fangs, and lunged at Soul Thirteen. For a moment, the air was filled with a hissing sound.
Soul Thirteen smiled disdainfully. The curse power was indeed terrifying. If it was in the past, he would have been afraid. But now that he had become a Soul Overlord, what did he have to be afraid of?
He opened his mouth wide, and there seemed to be a bottomless pit in it. The sinful power of gluttony surged out of it, enveloping the cursed snake in an instant.
The snake struggled desperately, but Soul Thirteen just laughed out loud. Suddenly, a powerful suction erupted from his mouth and pulled the cursed snake into his stomach.
With just one swallow, the cursed snake was eaten by him!
Nethery’s expression changed dramatically. ‘Did he just eat the cursed snake?!’
“You also stay quietly to the side…” Soul Thirteen said coldly. With a flicker of his body, he instantly closed in on Nethery’s side. Suddenly, the silver insect scales shot out from his back, turning into a steel cage and locked her inside.
“After I kill that chef, I’ll come back and eat you slowly… A Cursed Goddess is hard to come by.”
Saliva kept dripping from Soul Thirteen’s mouth, and his eyes glowed ferociously. He turned and locked his gaze on Bu Fang.
…
Bu Fang was currently immersed in a peculiar feeling. It was as if his consciousness had floated up along the beam of light and rushed into the boundless starry sky.
In the starry sky, every star was emitting the Power of Law to attract him, to echo with the power in him.
However, he had the power of the five supreme Laws in him. So to echo with him, it required a star with the power of the five supreme Laws. When those stars felt his aura, they all shuddered with fear and chose to give up echoing with him.
So, for a while, Bu Fang was drifting aimlessly in the boundless starry sky. At this moment, he felt as if he had returned to the Sea of Laws.
The stars around him were constantly changing, and the universe seemed to be transforming as well. Everything was rotating and giving him a strange feeling.
He reached out his hand to grasp that echoing feeling. However, he could not catch anything no matter how many times he had tried. This made him feel quite chagrined.
Suddenly, Bu Fang sensed an aura. “There’s something familiar about that aura…”
It was the aura of a Heavengod. Although he did not know if it was the Heavengod who had previously injured him, he still narrowed his eyes.
The Heavengod’s aura came to Bu Fang. After circling around him for a while, it did not choose to guide him.
Then, one after another, the aura of the other Heavengods emerged, but they all did not bother to guide him.
This was a bit awkward. Bu Fang frowned. Without guidance, he could not break through to the God realm. Was he really destined not to become a God? Were these Heavengods doing this on purpose?
‘No, they didn’t do this on purpose…’ Bu Fang thought to himself. These Heavengods did not deliberately refuse to guide him, but they did not dare to do it because he had comprehended all five of the supreme Laws of the Universe!
He sighed. His consciousness gradually went farther and farther away, rising higher and higher. Since no Heavengod dared to guide him, he would tear an opening of his own! He was determined to become a God!
Rumble…
His aura began to surge, and his entire person became more and more radiant. The next moment, the five supreme Laws turned into five wheels spinning around him, while five Gourmet Arrays emerged around him as well.
The stacking of the Gourmet Arrays pushed him higher and higher as if to make him shine on all heavens!
…
In the restaurant, Soul Thirteen closed in on Bu Fang with his mouth drooling. He was trembling all over with excitement. As he approached, however, the beam of light that shot out from Bu Fang’s head began to rapidly shrink.
That not only made Soul Thirteen freeze, but also froze everyone, including the Xiayi Divine Emperor.
It was clear that no Heavengod chose to guide Bu Fang. Had he failed in his breakthrough? Only a short time ago, he failed to comprehend the fifth supreme Law, and now he also failed to break through… Was it true that the catastrophe of humanity could not be avoided?
Bu Fang, who was called the hope of mankind, had failed miserably.
Soul Thirteen finally collected his wits. He could not help but start laughing uncontrollably. The stinky chef had finally been struck by karma!
“Even the human Gods don’t want to guide you… Since that’s the case, let me eat you!”
His mouth kept opening wider and finally turned into a huge black hole. He was going to swallow Bu Fang completely.
Lord Dog, lying under the Path-Understanding Tree, frowned and opened his eyes. His fat was jiggling all over his body as he gave Bu Fang a quizzical look and stuck out his tongue. The next moment, a cute dog paw slowly stretched out from under his chubby body.
However, just as Lord Dog was about to strike, he stopped abruptly. Twitching the corner of his mouth, he pulled back the outstretched paw.
At that very moment, Bu Fang, with his aura completely retracted, slowly opened his eyes. He glanced expressionlessly at Soul Thirteen, who opened his mouth wide and was laughing.
“Are you cured of your anorexia? I can’t believe you dared to open your mouth so wide in front of me…” Bu Fang said faintly.
