Gourmet of Another World

There was still a line of people outside Bubu Little Kitchen.

These people came from all over the world to buy a slice of Soul Overlord meat from the restaurant. Some of them were local tycoons, and some were the richest people in different countries.

They had money. However, they were all very upset when they learned that Bu Fang had stopped selling meat.

Before this, they had all taken a wait-and-see attitude, wanting to see if the legendary Soul Overlord meat was really so magical. When they found that the legend was true, however, Bu Fang was no longer selling it.

The Celestial Dog lay at the door of the restaurant. Its presence blocked the countless people who wanted to knock on the door to vent their annoyance.

With a creak, Yang Jian walked out of the restaurant. He came in front of the Celestial Dog and looked at it with a sorrowful face.

He never thought that one day he would be abandoned by a dog. It pained him so much that he could hardly breathe. The feeling was simply indescribable.

However, he continued to curry favor with the dog, hoping to awaken its conscience toward its master that was buried deep in its heart.

As Yang Jian was teasing the Celestial Dog, heaven and earth mourned at the same time, and a strange phenomenon appeared. The sight made him stand up and look incredulously at the vault of heaven.

Blood-stained flower petals fell on his palm, and a wave of grief spread through his heart.

“Heaven and earth mourn together… A Saint of great merits and virtue has fallen. This… How is this possible?!”

Suddenly, he seemed to sense something. The vertical eye on his forehead darted from side to side and looked fiercely toward the distance, as though it were gazing through the void.

The Immortal Island of Penglai was in that direction. At this moment, an existence with whom he was very familiar was descending on the island. It was an existence from the Primitive Universe.

Yang Jian was stunned, and then a grave look came into his eyes.

An existence from the Primitive Universe had descended, and heaven and earth were filled with the phenomenon that could only occur when a Saint of great merit and virtue had fallen. This indicated that something big was about to happen on Earth, something even more intense than when countless Soul Demons had surrounded Tongtian and Bu Fang.

“What exactly is about to happen?” Yang Jian took a deep breath, then turned his head and looked seriously at the Celestial Dog. “Dog, I don’t care how much you resent me. Please lift your paw, feel your conscience, and tell me, is my countless years of company no better than a slice of meat? Now it’s time for us to fight side by side again! Come with me!” he said in an emotional voice.

The next moment, a golden armor appeared on him, and the three-pronged halberd fell into his hand.

The Celestial Dog lay on the ground, listening to him. At last, it grunted, looked away, and rolled its eyes.

‘Why didn’t you think of this dog when you were eating meat? Now you’re going to fight, and you come to talk to this dog about conscience? Go away. This dog doesn’t have a shameless master like you!’

Yang Jian was very sad and angry. He simply picked up the Celestial Dog with one hand, stepped on an auspicious cloud, and took off into the air.

Since soft tactics failed, he had no choice but to resort to hard methods. Why bother giving up countless years of relationships for the sake of a slice of meat?

On the Immortal Island of Penglai, many Immortals stood respectfully, looking up at the rift. Bright Buddha’s light sprinkled down from the sky, and a peaceful aura pervaded heaven and earth, filling everyone with a warm feeling.

Who was that? Which supreme being had descended? Judging by that mighty power, this existence should not be weak.

In the distance, the sea churned. Yang Jian came flying on the auspicious cloud and soon landed on the island.

Countless Immortals bowed to him respectfully. He had now stepped into the Immortal Emperor level—his strength was unparalleled.

Yang Jian looked at the light in the rift and thought to himself, ‘Who’s coming? After so long, a mighty expert from the Primitive Universe has finally descended. The Sect Leader has said that the Primitive Universe is also suffering from the invasion of Soul Demons, and the experts there are fighting hard. Something serious must have happened here that this expert has to come now…’

The light faded at last. Soon, a lotus platform flew out of the rift, on which sat a solemn Buddha. His mouth stuck out, and he had a chin like a monkey and a hairy face. He looked quite ugly, but there was a hint of benevolence on his face as well.

“It’s you, evil monkey?!” Yang Jian shouted as he caught sight of the figure on the lotus platform.

“It’s the Winning Buddha…”

At the sight of this existence, the Immortals on the island all bowed respectfully. Yang Jian was the only one who dared to call him a monkey.

Since becoming a Buddha, the evil monkey’s cultivation base had increased day by day, and now it had reached a very frightening level. It seemed that he was not far from becoming a Saint of the Great Path.

Naturally, the Immortals on the island did not dare to be presumptuous in front of him.

“Yo-ho, Three-Eyes.” When the evil monkey saw Yang Jian from the lotus platform, he immediately stood up and tore off the robe he was wearing. “I, Sun Wukong, am here!” He scratched his face, then jumped off the platform and landed at Yang Jian’s side.

“I haven’t seen you for hundreds of years. How did you end up on the Ancestral Planet? Yo-ho, you have become an Immortal Emperor? Not bad, not bad…” the evil monkey said with a smile, scratching his face.

“What are you doing here, evil money?” Yang Jian squinted at Sun Wukong.

“You think I want to come? I was killing those Soul Demons in the Primitive Universe when Lord Buddha suddenly sent me here. I didn’t expect to see you here. I thought it was Tongtian calling me just now…”

Sun Wukong continued to scratch his cheeks. When he saw the Celestial Dog being carried in Yang Jian’s arms, he narrowed his eyes and played with it for a while.

The Celestial Dog barked a few times.

Sun Wukong froze, then he gave Yang Jian a strange look. “Three-Eyes, what evil things have you done? Why did the dog say you are not its master anymore?”

Yang Jian rolled his eyes. “I don’t want to talk about it…”

Just as they were about to continue their conversation, a terrifying rumble of thunder suddenly rang out in the sky.

“I’ve got to go. I need to find Tongtian…” As soon as he said that, Sun Wukong shot up into the sky and vanished into the horizon.

Yang Jian’s face became very serious. “I can’t believe the Primitive Universe actually sent Monkey Sun. Although he is only a Saint-to-be, his fighting prowess is fiercer than the average Saint of the Great Path. It seems the situation is critical…”

He took a deep breath, stepped on the auspicious cloud, and followed.

In the cave above the vault of heaven…

After the black hole was a vast expanse of a starry sky.

Bu Fang and Tongtian stood in this starry sky. In front of them was a huge circular teleportation array. It was constantly rotating, but there were all kinds of arrays hovering over it.

The main one was an Eight Trigram Array, which prevented the teleportation array from functioning.

Both of them could sense the terrible aura creeping behind that array. However, their focus now was not on the array. They looked up into the distance.

There, Suiren sat cross-legged with his head bowed. He had a wooden branch on his shoulder, and at each end of the branch hung a Soul Overlord’s head. Their true forms were sealed in the heads, struggling but unable to break free.

Blood, red and tinged with gold, dripped from the corners of Suiren’s mouth. The sound of his wild laughter filled the starry sky.

“It’s the human emperor!”

When Tongtian saw Suiren, he laughed with relief. And when he saw the two heads on the wooden branch, he even applauded.

“Suiren is indeed the human emperor! He beheaded two Soul Overlords!”

He was excited. He thought the situation would be bad, but now it seemed that the three human emperors were still guarding the world of the human race.

Bu Fang’s face was unsightly, though. He had comprehended the Law of Life. Although he could not use it here, it allowed him to clearly sense that the fire of life in Suiren had died off…

There was no more life energy left in the human emperor. To seal these two Soul Overlords, he had squeezed out the last drop of energy in his already exhausted body.

The laughter that lingered in the world was what he left behind when he was alive. It sounded domineering, carefree, and was even filled with reluctance and worry…

Tongtian’s laughter stopped, and his hands began to shake. Looking at Suiren with his drooping head, his eyes suddenly turned red.

“Impossible… If the human emperor had fallen, heaven and earth should have mourned at the same time. But we did not see that…”

He shook his head and shot forward to Suiren’s side. However, he had only just gotten close when a monstrous flame shot up into the sky. The scorching heat of the flame caused his expression to change dramatically.

“This is the Array of Primordial Fire…”

It was an array constructed with the primordial fire of mankind, which Suiren had kindled with the blood of his heart.

Tongtian’s face was pale, and his heart was filled with grief.

As he approached again, Suiren’s head jerked up, his eyes wide open. His aura towered into the sky as if he was a fierce god gazing at heaven and earth.

A terrible murderous aura swept over the Sect Leader.

Bu Fang was silent, while Tongtian took several steps back in the starry sky.

As fierce as Suiren looked, that was all he had left. It was his fierceness to Soul Demons.

As the primordial fire burned, the two Soul Overlord’s heads were soon set ablaze. Their true forms, trapped in the heads, howled bitterly, but they could not escape the fate of being burned.

Finally, with a rumble, the two heads were burned to nothingness.

Suiren continued to stare in anger amid the blazing fire. When the flames burned out, the human emperor’s body had turned into ashes and drifted away. Suiren, the almighty human emperor, had fallen while protecting the Ancestral Planet of mankind.

Tongtian flew into a rage. As a plume of purple smoke erupted from the top of his head, he violently swung the green sword in his hand, shattering countless stars.

Bu Fang sighed and looked reverently at the scattering ashes. Such a Saint of the Great Path was of immense merit and virtue, worthy of his respect.

Suddenly, he froze for a moment. Suiren was gone, but what about the other two human emperors? Had they fallen, too? If that was the case, it would be mournful news for mankind!

Tongtian came to himself at last. His eyes were red, and his body emitted oppressive sword energy that tore the void around him.

“Soul Demons… I, Tongtian, will destroy you or die in the attempt!”

The Sect Leader had an abhorrence of sin. With his temper, he could not just swallow the grief and do nothing.

“Where are the other two human emperors?”

The three human emperors were the Saints of merit and virtue who led the human race to prosperity.

Bu Fang and Tongtian looked at each other, then scanned the surroundings at the same time.

Suddenly, the teleportation array suppressed by the Eight Trigram Array began to slowly rotate. Wisps of dark sinful energy seeped out of it and wrapped around the Eight Trigram Array like tentacles.

Bu Fang focused his eyes and looked at the center of the Eight Trigram Array.

A figure with its head bowed sat cross-legged in the center of the array. Not far from it was another figure surrounded by many top divine herbs, each emanating powerful energy.

“It’s the other two human emperors, Fuxi and Shennong!”

Tongtian’s face lit up when he saw them. He could sense their life energy—they were still alive. Stepping on his flying sword, he sped forward and went up to them.

His heart was filled with grief. He knew that Suiren had died with the Soul Overlords to protect Fuxi and Shennong from being disturbed.

Bu Fang saw Fuxi and Shennong, and his face looked respectful. Suddenly, his brows furrowed and his pupils constricted. He saw a black streak of sinful energy flash across the faces of the two human emperors.

“Tongtian, be careful!”
