Chapter 1614: That’s Enough

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Only Bu Fang could see the naked figure. It was a woman, and she walked out of flames without wearing anything. Her fiery red hair spread behind her head, her face breathtakingly beautiful. She was giving off a mixed air of elegance, n.o.bility, and arrogance.

The woman’s beauty was like a blazing fire, and it clutched at one’s throat like a palm. If one were to let her step closer, they would feel suffocated, enchanted by her appearance.

Fiery scarlet flames whirled about her like birds, covering the secret spots on her jade-like body. However, that only made her look more attractive. Her feet were fair and glinting as if they were made of jade polished to the finest.

The woman broke out of the egg, walking in the flames. She seemed to represent fire, the fire that burned everything.

Time seemed to stop at this moment. Clad in the Vermilion Robe, Bu Fang looked indifferently at the woman in the distance, who broke out of the egg and walked slowly toward him.

‘Mulberry the Vermilion Bird?’

He paused for a moment, his heart filled with doubts. This woman seemed…different from the Vermilion Bird he remembered. In his memory, the Vermilion Bird was an unrestrained and frank woman, which could be seen by her violence when she possessed him.

However, the Vermilion Bird before him was like a beauty that had walked out of a painting, a fairy someone had drawn to wors.h.i.+p. She was too beautiful and n.o.ble to be profaned.

Suddenly, Bu Fang furrowed his brows because the woman had come before him, reached out a jade-like arm, and rested it on his shoulder. She was not as tall as him, but she stretched out another hand as if to touch his face.

Bu Fang’s frown deepened. Her palm was as hot as fire, and when it touched his skin, he felt as if it was about to burn him. He thought it was as hot as the coal freshly taken out of a fire pit.

‘What is she trying to do?!’ For a moment, Bu Fang did not do anything but just stared indifferently at the woman. He wanted to see how far she would go.

The woman pressed herself onto him as if she wanted to climb up on him, twisting and bending her body like a snake. It was as if Bu Fang’s indifferent att.i.tude had provoked her. She brought her stunningly beautiful face up close to his face…

“That’s enough…” Bu Fang twitched the corner of his mouth, then reached out a hand and put his palm over the woman’s face, pus.h.i.+ng her away.

That startled the woman. The next moment, a sharp look came into her eyes. It was a proud will belonging to the Queen of All Birds. She wanted to press Bu Fang under her body.

“This is not right…” Bu Fang frowned. “You are not Mulberry!” he said coldly. He had a preconceived idea that the woman was the Vermilion Bird, but in fact, she was not. However, his spirit sea was boiling, and it seemed to do that because of her appearance.

‘This woman is Mulberry… But… She is not the Mulberry you know,’ Qilin’s lazy voice rang out in Bu Fang’s head.

Bu Fang’s eyes narrowed slightly. The woman’s hands had already rested on his shoulders, and flames were climbing up his body. Her fiery red hair burned like flames as she parted her lips and brought them closer to his cheek.

Bu Fang kicked the ground with his toe, and as it exploded with a rumble, he bolted backward. But the woman followed, throwing herself at him as if to melt her body into his.

There seemed to be irritation in Bu Fang’s eyes. Evidently, this woman was not Mulberry, or rather… This was the will of the Vermilion Bird sleeping on Earth. What he had to do was to conquer this will, and he would need to do the same for the other few Artifact Spirits.

Suddenly, in his spirit sea, the true form of his divine sense sitting cross-legged over the G.o.d of Cooking’s Menu flicked open its eyes. With a humming sound, a golden ray shot out of its eye, turned into two golden ribbons, and came slithering out from Bu Fang’s eyes.

He grabbed the ribbons and flung them out. As if having their own will, the ribbons flew rapidly around the woman and bound her up tightly.

“As I said… That’s enough,” Bu Fang said, twitching his lips.

…

Rumbling filled the air as the enormous whale pressed down like a mighty mountain. Larger than the one-hundred-thousand-ton Jewel, the whale brought terrifying pressure to anyone who looked at it. The wind it produced when leaping out of the sea whistled like a tornado.

Meanwhile, Poseidon and the others exclaimed under their breath. They found that Bu Fang, who was down below, had been enveloped by a ma.s.s of scarlet flames, which connected him to the mysterious egg!

Were all the treasures in this spiritual energy sealing point about to be seized by the same Hua guy? Poseidon could not stand that. He had traveled all the way from the Atlantic Ocean to the South Sea, and he would not return empty-handed!

“Ephesus, swallow him!” Poseidon narrowed his eyes and growled. Behind him, monstrous waves rose to the sky. He was the lord of the oceans, the G.o.d of the Oceans!

The giant whale focused its eyes and opened its mouth as a column of water spurted out from the hole on top of its head. Then, its enormous mouth descended like one huge black hole!

Suddenly, a golden ray shot out of the flames. Poseidon noticed it immediately as it was too bright and eye-catching. Then, he saw a golden mantis shrimp emerge and hovered before the giant whale, brandis.h.i.+ng its claws.

“A mantis shrimp?!” The corner of Poseidon’s mouth twitched. He was unmoved, and he even thought of laughing. A mantis shrimp was acting mightily before the giant whale? Was it here to make him laugh? In the face of his Ephesus, an SS-cla.s.s spirit beast, a lowly creature in the ocean like this mantis shrimp was even more insignificant than an ant.

The whale opened its mouth—it did not even see Shrimpy. The main reason was that when compared to its enormous size, Shrimpy was like an ant waving its claws before a great mountain. No one would see it without paying close attention.

As the whale’s mouth descended, a dazzling golden ray suddenly shot into the sky. It gave the whale pause. Its huge eyes rolled and rested on the mantis shrimp before it.

Even then, Shrimpy turned into a golden ray and smashed the whale in the face. A loud thud rang out, then the indifferent whale suddenly let out a b.e.s.t.i.a.l roar and plunged back into the sea, causing the water to burst and splash high up into the sky.

Rumble!

Poseidon was struck dumb. Holding his trident, he watched with a look of disbelief on his face. “What’s going on?! Ephesus? Ephesus… answer me!” he asked, frowning. However, the only response he received from the whale was a sense of fear, the fear of facing a supreme existence.

“Dammit! You are the lord of all the sea creatures! What are you afraid of? Don’t tell me you’re afraid of a mantis shrimp? As a giant whale, how could you be so useless?!”

Poseidon flew into a rage, but the giant whale had already fled in panic. It turned its tail, which emerged from the water, flipped it, and sped away in an instant.

At this moment, a golden mantis shrimp poked its head out of the water, swimming leisurely in the sea. All around it, the seawater was falling like a heavy downpour.

Meanwhile, the water giant was charging at Bu Fang, swinging two huge hammers condensed of water. The air seemed to collapse under them.

All of a sudden, a rumbling sound could be heard as the flames enveloping Bu Fang dispersed abruptly. The Great Wizard, Poseidon, and the others all focused their eyes and looked in that direction. As the flames disappeared, they saw Bu Fang and a red-haired woman clad in a bathrobe.

The woman was beautiful and charming, looking like a G.o.ddess in the legends. However, that was not their focus. Their main concern was… Who was that woman?!

Bu Fang had bound the woman with the ribbons. Frowning, he turned to look at the water giant who was wielding two huge hammers and charging at him. Facing the hammers, he reached out his arm.

With a rumble, the hammers fell and smashed Bu Fang viciously on the palm. For a moment, the water around them churned violently while invisible blasts swept out in all directions.

The spells the Great Wizard could use included those of the forbidden level, and without a doubt, this water giant was a forbidden-level spell. Just this spell alone had consumed all the magic power in him.

Suddenly, the Great Wizard’s pupils constricted, and his flowery green robe began to shake. He was horrified to find that his forbidden spell, the water giant, was trembling.

A silver ray darted out from Bu Fang’s palm like a little silver snake and burrowed into the water giant’s body. The moment it was inside, the water giant began to evaporate. In just a flash, the forbidden spell had completely turned into water vapor and vanished.

It was at this moment that the Great Wizard saw the little silver snake was actually a wisp of silver flame, which had fallen back onto Bu Fang’s palm, burning quietly. Just by looking at it, the Great Wizard already felt a strong sense of death. It was as though the tiny flame could kill him easily! He finally realized Bu Fang’s terrible strength!

Accompanied by a whistling sound, a bamboo pole approached from a distance. It was vibrating at a very high frequency as it closed in on Bu Fang.

Bu Fang focused his eyes. The moment the bamboo pole approached him, it cracked and split into countless fine bamboo fibers. Each of these fibers was shrouded by immortal energy that emanated terrifying power! Patriarch Penglai’s means were indeed astonis.h.i.+ng!

However, Bu Fang was not in the mood to play with these people. His head ached as he looked at the charming woman beside him, who kept struggling. For a moment, he was a little confused. This woman was no doubt the sleeping Artifact Spirit, but by the looks of it, she was not the same Mulberry he knew. It was her other consciousness.

‘According to Qilin… I need to conquer this Artifact Spirit?’

Patriarch Penglai’s pupils constricted with disbelief when he saw the bamboo fibers all stopped before Bu Fang and unable to move further even for a bit! He was scared out of his wits!

Bound by the ribbons of divine sense, the woman struggled fiercely. When she found that even her flames could not burn off the shackles, a piteous look came over her face. Blinking her big eyes, she stared at Bu Fang and began to moan.

The corner of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched. ‘My dear sister, we are on the same side…’ His divine sense trembled, and the bamboo fibers were able to move again. A rapid popping sound filled the air as they sped forward and stabbed into his body…

Patriarch Penglai breathed out a sigh of relief. ‘This is more like it… If he can control my attack without doing anything, what would be his cultivation base? A Human Immortal? Or… a Heaven Immortal?’

A cracking sound could be heard as all the bamboo fibers that stabbed Bu Fang broke. However, Patriarch Penglai was not surprised. After all, Bu Fang was wearing the immortal robe, which should have provided him with amazing defense.

‘It seems that this kid’s strength is about the same as mine… Since when did Hua have such a genius? Could he be a genius from Kunlun?’ Patriarch Penglai’s eyes flickered. Compared to Bu Fang, the geniuses from his Immortal Island of Penglai were good for nothing.

“Senior! Patriarch… save us!”

While Patriarch Penglai was brooding, he heard a miserable shriek from a distance. Yu Ge’s howl echoed out across the sea. Both Bu Fang and Patriarch Penglai paused, then they turned to look over at the same time and saw…

Wrapped in dark purple energy, Susanoo had caught all the Hua people aboard the Jewel and was walking over on the waves from the distance!
