As soon as Bu Fang opened his eyes, he saw Soul Thirteen’s ferocious, silver face that was gleaming coldly.
Soul Thirteen was very confident that he could eat this chef this time. He had gone through a lot of hardship to become a Soul Overlord in this Chaotic Universe, and he did not think that anyone could stop him.
As long as the Heavengods of this world did not appear, he was invincible. No one could stop him—not the Divine Emperor, and not even the chef in front of him! He was destined to rise to the top!
“Are you cured of your anorexia? I can’t believe you dared to open your mouth so wide in front of me…”
Bu Fang’s tone was very flat. There was neither annoyance nor raging anger in his voice. It was as if he was asking a friend in a friendly manner if he had eaten. However, his words poked Soul Thirteen’s sore spot.
“You’re looking for death!” Soul Thirteen’s scarlet eyes narrowed. Without the slightest hesitation, the black hole in his mouth descended to completely devour Bu Fang.
The surrounding people all cried out in shock. Soul Thirteen’s strength was there for all to see. Even the Divine Emperor was no match for him. How was Bu Fang going to resist this move? Bu Fang was hailed as the hope of mankind, but now it seemed that this hope would soon be snuffed out.
Leaning against the door, the weak Divine Emperor’s eyes flickered with reluctance. To allow Bu Fang to break through, he had fought with all his might to resist Soul Thirteen, but now it seemed that his efforts were in vain.
The Xiayi Divine Dynasty might not be able to hold on for too much longer, and the same goes for the Chaotic Universe.
Soul Thirteen’s mouth looked like a bottomless black hole with a huge amount of energy rolling in it. Just by looking at it was enough to send a chill down one’s back.
Bu Fang slowly raised his head, frowning, and looked at the black hole. In his eyes, Soul Thirteen was just opening his mouth wide. Focusing his eyes, he shook his hand and took out a steaming oyster pancake. Then, he threw it straight into Soul Thirteen’s mouth.
Even though Soul Thirteen had become a Soul Overlord, he was still a Soul Demon in essence. In this case, human food should still be full of disgusting smells to him. But this time, he did not dodge the oyster pancake at all.
“Do you think that I, a Gluttony Soul Overlord, would be afraid of your food? No matter how disgusting it is, it’s still food, and as long as it’s food, I can swallow it! I, the Gluttony Soul Overlord, am able to swallow everything in the universe!”
Sure enough, just as he said, the oyster pancake was immediately devoured by the energy upon entering his mouth and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Moreover, his face remained unchanged, without any disgusted look.
With a cold smile on his face, Soul Thirteen continued to press closer to Bu Fang.
Bu Fang stood up and took a step back. He did not expect the oyster pancake, which had worked so well in the past, to have failed to force Soul Thirteen back this time. Of course, he was not going to give up without a fight, so he left his chair, drew out the Qilin Transmigration Ladle he had hung from his waist, and smashed it down on Soul Thirteen’s head.
Unlike the other God of Cooking Sets, the ladle was complete, and it could even withstand a blow from a Heavengod. The next moment, the powerful ladle fell squarely on Soul Thirteen’s head.
Soul Thirteen was surprised to see Bu Fang pull out a ladle and then thrust it at him. “Are you stupid? I can’t believe you’re actually using a ladle to fight me!” He roared with laughter. He thought he could easily resist this blow, but when the ladle hit his head, his laughter came to an abrupt end.
The ladle hit him lightly on the head, but it came with such great power that it left him dazed. Suddenly, he heard a crisp crackling sound, and he was instantly crept out. Hurriedly, he took a few steps back with a shudder of disbelief, then raised his hand and touched his forehead.
He was shocked to find that the insect scales there were cracked. His tough insect scales had been smashed by the chef with a ladle! How was that possible?! Even a God emperor might not be able to harm his scales, but the chef had shattered them with a single knock of the ladle!
With a humming sound, the cracked insect scales quickly recovered. Soul Thirteen was a Soul Overlord now, so his ability to recover was amazing. Unless he was crushed to nothing by some unbeatable great force, he could not die.
Bu Fang toyed with the Qilin Transmigration Ladle in his hand. Suddenly, a rumbling sound rang out as his aura changed and his eyes became serious. Then, he gripped the handle of the ladle tightly and swept it upward violently, smacking Soul Thirteen hard on the chin.
With a thump, Soul Thirteen flew backward, his insect scales cracking again.
The surrounding people were stunned as they watched. Soul Demons and humans alike stared at Bu Fang, who had knocked Soul Thirteen down with just a ladle.
“This Demigod is really… heaven-defying! Could it be that even a Soul Overlord is not his match?!”
Soul Thirteen got up from the ground. He was a little bit stunned a moment ago, but at this moment, he had already calmed down. He took a deep breath.
He knew there was something different about Bu Fang.
In the Soul Demon Universe, those humans who were in desperate situations had also given birth to heaven-defying geniuses who wanted to fight for the rise of humanity. That kind of genius was very frightening. It had been recorded in the Soul Demon’s ancient books that they could not be measured by common sense.
These geniuses were incredibly gifted, but… so what?
There was once a peerless genius in the Soul Demon Universe who almost led the human race out of their desperate situation, but in the end, he was killed by the Soul God with just a slap. Today, his soul was still being held captive by the Soul God, suffering inhuman torture.
It was often said that heroes emerge from troubled times. Perhaps the chef in front of him was the hero of this troubled world.
Soul Thirteen calmed himself down. He wanted to treat Bu Fang in an ordinary manner.
Bu Fang toyed with the ladle while, in his mind, he was going through what his consciousness had just seen and experienced.
He wanted to advance to the God realm, but there was no God, not even a Heavengod willing to guide him. This was simply too ridiculous.
In the beginning, he did not know what to do, and he kept trying. But then he gave up. Since there was no God to guide him, he chose to shine on all heavens, break through the shackle himself and become a God all by himself.
In his mind, the System’s serious voice was ringing continuously.
‘Congratulations on advancing to the higher realm and receiving the advancement reward…’
‘Now issuing the reward. The reward has been successfully issued…’
‘The conversion of energy within the Host begins. The true energy will be converted to divine power…’
‘Congratulations on receiving the opportunity to the God assessment. Does the Host choose to take up the assessment?’
Perhaps the System had never said so many things at once in its life.
Bu Fang was also slightly confused by what he just heard. After carefully analyzing them, he replied, ‘I will take up the God assessment.’
Then, with a thought, he called up the system panel. At this moment, the contents on the panel had changed dramatically.

Bu Fang went through the system panel carefully. There was no doubt that he had successfully broken through from a Demigod to a God.
This proved that the way he chose worked. Although no God would guide him, he made a way by himself.
A look of annoyance emerged on Soul Thirteen’s cold face. He could not believe this chef was in a daze when they were fighting! ‘Is he looking down on my identity as a Soul Overlord? A Soul Overlord is equivalent to a Heavengod. Does the chef really think that a Heavengod-level expert is someone he can mess with?!’
Soul Thirteen focused his eyes while his aura became more and more terrifying. Standing where he was, black demonic smoke kept spreading out from his body and escaping from the restaurant as if to envelope the whole world.
All those who sensed this terrifying aura felt a tremendous pressure pressing down on them.
This was the pressure belonging to a Heavengod, like the one that came with the Heavengod’s hand, which thrust out of the spinning black whirlpool after the Xiayi Divine Emperor transcended the tribulation.
The oppressive aura made everyone’s heart and soul tremble. Even the Xiayi Divine Emperor’s eyes were filled with despair. He could clearly feel that this aura was no weaker than what he had encountered before.
There was no doubt that Soul Thirteen was now as strong as a Heavengod. So, how could humans fight back?
If it was in the ancient times when Heavengods were everywhere, they might not fear Soul Thirteen. But now, almost all the Heavengods had gone, and the only remaining Heavengods were not showing up. The humans would soon be overwhelmed!
Soul Thirteen wanted to use his aura to blow up the whole restaurant. However, no matter how powerful his aura was, he could not do it. Instead, the surrounding buildings exploded one after another.
Bu Fang was finally awakened by the aura. He raised his head and looked at Soul Thirteen, who was floating in midair.
Soul Thirteen had already left the restaurant and was hovering in midair. At that moment, the sky suddenly darkened as if he had eaten all the light in the world.
“Chef… I don’t want to waste any more time with you. You can die now, and so are the rest of you!”
Soul Thirteen’s eyes blazed fiercely. He decided to kill everyone here. As for his plan to breed humans in captivity, there would surely be humans left in other small worlds. He would just need to capture them and keep them in captivity.
Hovering in the sky, Soul Thirteen no longer concealed his Soul Overlord’s aura. The ground kept cracking open while one tall building after another blew up and collapsed. The entire Xiayi Divine Dynasty’s capital was completely unrecognizable in an instant.
The Luo Family’s skyscraper, however, remained standing.
Soul Thirteen opened his mouth wide. The next moment, a terrifying beast appeared behind him as if it had crawled out of the darkness, looking like a Taotie. With its appearance, it also opened its mouth as if it was going to devour everything in the world!
The Gluttony Soul Overlord was indeed the ultimate disaster of this world!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, the ground burst open, and three demon dragons formed from the black demonic energy rushed up into the sky and floated in midair. The shadows cast by their enormous bodies enveloped the entire capital in darkness.
They kept their heads at the same height as the top floor of the skyscraper and stared coldly at the tiny restaurant. Even their eyes were larger than the restaurant door. At this moment, the restaurant seemed to become transparent.
Bu Fang let out a breath. A gust of wind kept blowing into the restaurant, making his mind much clearer. Soul Thirteen’s great strength put a lot of pressure on him.
‘Luckily, I’ve broken through,’ Bu Fang thought to himself. If his strength was still the same as before, he would probably be killed by Soul Thirteen in seconds. When he faced the Heavengod not too long ago, he was almost killed by a slap.
However, things were different now. The Bu Fang of today was no longer the Bu Fang of old.
The Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife spun in his hand, and then he thrust it out, cutting off the silver insect scales that bound Whitey and Nethery in an instant.
After regaining their freedom, Nethery and Whitey followed Bu Fang as he walked out of the restaurant.
The top floor of the building was already in shambles, while the wind was constantly howling. Bu Fang’s Vermilion Robe was flapping noisily. After losing the Artifact Spirit, the robe’s invincible function also disappeared. However, even if it was still in place, it had no effect against an attack from a Soul Overlord.
Bu Fang exhaled deeply, put his hands behind his back, and looked up.
In the sky, Soul Thirteen stood proudly like a peerless Demon God, staring coldly at Bu Fang.
Their gazes collided in midair.
The corners of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched slightly. When an individual became a God, he would comprehend the divine ability that belonged to him. Generally, the divine abilities were derived from the Power of Law. However, since Bu Fang had comprehended five supreme Laws of the Universe, what would his divine ability be?
The God of Cooking’s Eye. It was the System’s reward and also his divine ability.
‘Well, let’s give it a try now.’
Bu Fang raised his hand, rubbed his eyes, and then activated the God of Cooking’s Eye.
