Gourmet of Another World

At this moment, Bu Fang and Sect Leader Tongtian could be said to have fallen into a perilous situation. However, they were not without confidence.

Sect Leader Tongtian had gained enlightenment on the Ancestral Planet. When his clone returned to the Primitive Universe and merged with his true self, he managed to break the shackle that had trapped him for countless years. Now, his fighting strength had reached a very frightening level.

Besides… he was assisted by Bu Fang in this operation. The suppressive effect of Bu Fang’s dishes on the Soul Demons was simply terrifying, so it was also the source of the Sect Leader’s confidence.

In front of the Hourglasses of Time and Space, the seven Great Soul Overlords opened their eyes, their aura joining and distorting the void. Every one of them was as strong as a top Chaotic Saint and could destroy heaven and earth with a mere thought. And now, Tongtian needed to face them all, among whom was Sloth, a perfect Great Soul Overlord.

Perhaps, after breaking through, Tongtian was not weaker than Sloth, but he was not sure if he could beat him. Bu Fang, sitting on Kun Bird’s back, furrowed his brows slightly. It was hard to predict the outcome based on the current situation.

A dreadful aura rushed at them like a tidal wave, smashing at heaven and earth along the way. The Sect Leader’s eyes grew sharp, while his swords sped across the void and collided with the aura. It was a simple clash, yet the sounds of explosion kept ringing out.

“How dare you come here… You’re courting death! Do you really think we can’t do anything to you?”

The seven Great Soul Overlords spoke in unison, while Envy stared coldly at Bu Fang.

“It’s good that you have brought the arrogant chef with you… so we can kill him as well!” Envy said, grinning. His teeth were sharp and pointy like needles.

The other Great Soul Overlords also rose to their feet. Behind them were the rotating hourglasses, which stabilized the void so the Soul Demons could come through the portal. This was the source of their strength.

“You evil demons… I, Tongtian, will destroy you all!”

The Sect Leader narrowed his eyes as a mighty, murderous aura fluctuated around him. At the same time, a clanging sound rang out. The other two immortal swords left their scabbards, too, emanating blinding light that cut through the starry sky!

Soon, the four swords formed the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Array, which sprawled across the starry sky like a murderous being who had awakened.

Tongtian floated at the center of the array, his robe fluttering. A four-colored aura surrounded him, giving him a mighty and domineering look.

The seven Great Soul Overlords were squinting as well. Sloth was in no hurry to make a move. Instead, he asked three of his brothers to fight Tongtian first.

The battle shook the universe. The sword array swept across the starry sky, while the three Great Soul Overlords also unleashed their demonic aura and monstrous energy of sin, which permeated the vault of heaven and blotted out everything!

However, the power of the sword array controlled by a perfected Tongtian was just too horrifying. As it moved, countless Soul Demons were ground to pieces, and their true selves were crushed to a mash before they could even scream.

The three Great Soul Overlords closed in on the sword array and attacked it repeatedly, yet they could not break it.

Bu Fang was inside the array as well, and he sucked in a cold breath. The number one lethal array of the Primitive Universe had truly shown its power now. He reckoned that its strength was as strong as that of a perfect Chaotic Saint. Even the faceless man might not be able to break it. Sect Leader Tongtian, in his peak form, was truly terrifying!

Countless Soul Demons died. The array was like a meat grinder; whenever Tongtian moved some distance forward, the bodies of the foes he killed piled up like a mountain behind him. The three Great Soul Overlords were shocked when they realized that they were being forced back.

“Wrath, you go,” Sloth opened his eyes and said indifferently. A Great Soul Overlord, who seemed to be fuming, rushed out in a flash.

The pressure brought by four Great Soul Overlords was enormous, and it did slow the sword array, but only ever so slightly. The light of the swords illuminated the surroundings as the array came crashing down, turning the space tens of thousands of miles around into a vacuum.

Tongtian walked with his hands clasped behind his back. With the sword array spinning around him, no Soul Demon could approach him. As the almighty expert of the Primitive Universe, he was truly formidable.

Bu Fang watched with an expressionless face from the back of Kun Bird. He knew things would not be so simple. Sure enough, when he glanced over his shoulder, he saw another Great Soul Overlord joining the battle.

Now, five Great Soul Overlords were fighting the Sect Leader. He was beginning to feel the pressure, and he no longer put his hands behind his back.

With a thought in his mind, Qingping Sword came out of his body and hovered at his side, emitting such sword intent that it seemed capable of destroying the universe and rebuilding a new world with one strike!

The moment the sword intent joined the array, its power skyrocketed. In the blink of an eye, Envy’s body was cut to pieces again and knocked flying backward.

Even then, the sixth Great Soul Overlord joined them! Together, they formed a Heavenly Demon Array, which collided with the sword array. The violent impact tore the void, while violent blasts swept across the starry sky and crushed countless Soul Demons!

Back in Hangu Pass, many experts stood on the walls and stared in horror at the shifting light in the depths of the universe, gasping.

“It has begun…” said Yuanshi Tianzun, sitting cross-legged on the wall.

“Let’s hope Tongtian will succeed…” Taishang Laojun lightly flicked his horsetail whisk.

“Succeed or not… This is our last chance.”

Yuanshi performed divination with his fingers, trying to peer through the Heavenly Secret. Through his third eye, he saw the Primitive Universe surrounded by a mighty power of sin.

“Fellow Daoist Bu… I’m counting on you.”

Tongtian’s hair fluttered as he controlled the array to collide with the enemy’s array. The battle was now in a stalemate.

The Sect Leader was truly fearsome. Alone, he resisted six Great Soul Overlords. His strength was even stronger than the Queen of Curses, who Cursey had turned into after eating a Death Spicy Strip.

However, it was far from enough. The strongest Great Soul Overlord was still waiting in the distance, emanating a frightening aura at all times.

Bu Fang nodded and lightly stomped his foot. Kun Bird knew what he meant. The next moment, it flapped its wings and shot forward like a bolt of lightning.

“Foxy… Shoot as much as you want!” Bu Fang ruffled the little fox’s fur and said. As Heavengod Destruction, she should be able to provide great help to them.

The little fox’s eyes darted from side to side. Then, she wagged her tails and rushed into the starry sky in a flash, running faster and faster until she turned into a beam of white light.

Golden light filled her mouth, and when she finally came before the Heavenly Demon Array, she opened her jaws and unleashed a volley of golden meatballs. One meatball after another smashed the array, causing it to tremble violently. Its aura was greatly suppressed.

Whitey stood behind Bu Fang, guarding him. He waved his hand, and all the God of Cooking Sets appeared at the same time. The roaring of a dragon and a tiger, the crying of a bird, the hissing of a turtle, as well as colorful light filled the air.

Bu Fang closed his eyes to focus. When he opened them again, he activated the God of Cooking’s eyes, which made him incredibly calm. His gaze seemed to see through the darkness.

Suddenly, Bu Fang had a strong feeling that the dish he was about to cook might be the key for him to break through to the next realm. His cultivation base had stopped progressing for too long, and the System had remained silent for a long time as well.

If he were to make a breakthrough, he had to cook a dish approved by the System. After upgrading, the System’s demands on Bu Fang’s cooking skills had increased. It was now requiring him to cook like the God of Cooking. In other words, it would compare his dishes to the God of Cooking’s dishes!

A humming sound could be heard as one ingredient after another flew into the air. They were all the best food ingredients from different universes. Those from the Chaotic Universe were surrounded by the power of Laws, Void City the power of curses, and the Soul Demon Universe the power of sin.

The Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife spun in Bu Fang’s hand. He made a slash with it and cut the thousands of food ingredients to pieces. The knife technique itself had reached the acme, flawless. The ingredients fell apart, all neatly cut.

His aura was as bright as a star. At this moment, he seemed to have become the center of everything that attracted thousands of gazes.

Rumble!

Meanwhile, Tongtian’s energy soared, and he sent the sword array to collide with the demon’s array. The rumbling echoed out seemingly without end, while the void crumbled. But he still could not break it.

Sloth sat cross-legged at the center of the seven hourglasses and watched. Suddenly, he glanced over his shoulder, his eyes lighting up and his brows arching.

“Is His Excellency… almost ready?” His aura fluctuated with excitement. However, he did not lose his patience. He turned back and looked at Tongtian and Bu Fang in the distance.

He had to admit that the Primitive Universe was the strongest and hardest universe they had ever invaded. It had too many experts. They could not even break Hangu Pass. However, it would be a different story when Soul God returned! Sloth’s eyes burst into bright light.

“Hold him back. His soul will be obliterated once Soul God returns to us,” Sloth said. That boosted the six Great Soul Overlords’ spirits, and the power of their array instantly grew stronger.

Rumble!

Tongtian’s face turned pale. The last collision had almost knocked the four immortal swords away. But he did not give up. Clenching his jaws, he continued to resist. He was buying time for Bu Fang to finish cooking. When the dish was ready, they would have a chance to destroy the hourglasses.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The arrays kept colliding with each other. Tongtian’s face grew gloomier, and his aura was somewhat messy. Foxy’s bombardment had affected the demon’s array. If it were not for her, the Sect Leader might have already been defeated.

For a moment, the situation reached a stalemate.

In front of Hangu Pass, a great battle was taking place. The huge glowing Buddha was killing Soul Demons, and so was Taishang Laojun, who slaughtered countless foes with each flick of his horsetail whisk.

Without the threat of the Great Soul Overlords, the Primitive Universe had gained the upper hand. But this was only possible because the Sect Leader was holding back the Heavenly Demon Array. The real battlefield was actually at the depths of the universe…

Yuanshi Tianzun focused his eyes. He did not leave Hangu Pass. He was also a perfected Chaotic Saint, but he knew that a Soul Demon of his level was watching him. Once he left his position, the latter would certainly crush the pass with a palm! That was why he must stay put and guard the entrance to the Primitive Sphere.

Bu Fang’s face was growing paler. Cooking this dish put too much pressure on him, and he felt as if his body was about to be crushed by it.

“I’m not strong enough…”

He gritted his teeth. The stress of cooking a dish beyond his ability almost filled him with despair. It was as if the fruit he needed was across a great river with rushing water—he could only stare at the river and reach out his hand desperately.

As Tongtian said, they needed a stronger dish to suppress the Great Soul Overlords. He already had a rough idea of the dish, but… he did not have the ability to cook it. This was the first time Bu Fang had felt this sense of defeat since his debut.

The ingredients’ energies flowed like dragons, and he could not make them flow according to his will. Blood was trickling down from the corners of his mouth. The pressure on him was just too great.

In his spirit sea, the God of Cooking’s Menu bloomed with a brilliant golden light. The Artifact Spirits stared in horror at it, gasping.

“Dammit…”

“Stop… Little Host! Stop!”

Vermilion Bird and Divine Dragon cried out anxiously, while Qilin’s eyes widened.

“Is he out of his mind?! How could he try to break through the realm beyond his ability… Does he want to be dissolved by the God of Cooking’s will?!”

Black Turtle, sprawling in the starry sky, sighed. “Little Host had made it this far… Is he going to fail too?”
