Chapter 1572: The Collapse of the Defense

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the capital of the Xiayi Divine Dynasty…

The sky had returned to normal, but everyone could feel pressure weighing down on their minds.

The Divine Emperor stayed in the palace, somewhat fidgety. Between flipping through the reports, he would stand up and pace back and forth in the great hall. As the monarch of the dynasty, he was under enormous pressure.

Outside, it was late at night. A bright moon was hanging in the sky. However, the moon, which usually looked like a jade plate, was now covered with a layer of b.l.o.o.d.y glow and looked very eerie.

The Divine Emperor sighed. He changed into ordinary clothes and left the palace. Walking in the sky, he looked down. The capital was brightly lit and bustling at night, with one towering building after another protruding from the ground, making the whole city look magnificent. However, he had no idea how much longer this prosperity would last.

Soon, the Divine Emperor landed in front of the Luo Family’s skysc.r.a.per. He wanted to eat something delicious in Bu Fang’s restaurant. When a person was stressed, perhaps eating was the only way to ease his restless mood.

But he had forgotten that Bu Fang’s restaurant was closed at night. Looking at the closed door, the Divine Emperor felt even more depressed. He just wanted to eat something…

Taking a deep breath, he knocked on the restaurant door. The door quickly opened, but it was not Bu Fang who opened it. Since Bu Fang was away, he lost his appet.i.te for food.

Under Nethery’s suspicious gaze, the Divine Emperor put his hands behind his back and turned to leave. He stooped, as if he had suddenly grown much older at that moment.

‘Mister Bu isn’t in the restaurant, so where could he be…’

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed. As a G.o.d Emperor, his divine sense was extremely powerful. With a thought in his mind, he looked up in the direction of the Divine Chef Temple. He could sense a distinct wave coming from there.

‘Oh?’ The wrinkles on his face seemed to suddenly come alive. The next moment, he stepped forward, tore the void, and disappeared in a flash.

…

In the Divine Chef Temple…

The void tore open, and then the Divine Emperor stepped out of it. Beneath him was the ancient HeavenG.o.d’s inheritance, and it was from here that the peculiar wave came.

‘In the middle of the night… Is someone cracking the seal? How is that possible… After Mister Bu broke the third seal, Summer had ordered that no Divine Chef is allowed to continue breaking it. Is someone disobeying her? In the Divine Chef Temple, her orders are still somewhat… useful.’

The Divine Emperor clasped his hands behind his back and looked around curiously. Suddenly, his eyes focused and looked down, then his breath quickened as he discovered that one of the two remaining seals of the inheritance had been broken.

At this moment, Summer emerged next to the Divine Emperor. She gave him a strange look, not understanding why a man like him, who needed to handle so many things, would appear in the Divine Chef Temple at this hour of the night.

“Shhh.”

The Divine Emperor saw Summer. He suppressed his surprise and put his forefinger on his lips.

Summer froze for a moment, then she turned to look at the inheritance. She noticed the same thing as the Divine Emperor, and she became excited. In the whole divine dynasty, perhaps Bu Fang was the only person who could crack the seals. Was he going to break them once and for all?

…

Bu Fang’s face was cool. In front of him, a dish slowly floated up, flickering with light.

To break the remaining two seals, he had to use the divine power he had learned from the previous seals and combine them with his cooking skills. It was very difficult, so it took him a lot of time to solve it.

For him, however, these remaining two seals were less difficult than the previous tests. This was not only because his divine sense was stronger, but also because his cooking skills were excellent. Cooking was so much easier for him than going through those torturous tests.

He raised his hand and gently pushed it forward. With a crackling sound, the seal that looked like a thin film broke. A gust of wind blew over and ruffled his hair. The next moment, a strong fruity fragrance greeted him and lingered in his mouth and nose, causing his eyes to narrow involuntarily.

“It smells so delicious…”

That gave Bu Fang pause. He did not expect the fragrance of this seven-colored Fruit of Law to be so strong. A little surprised, he walked up to it, stretched out his hand, and grasped it. With a buzzing sound, a peculiar wave immediately spread through his body.

Suddenly, he felt as if someone was spying on him.

‘Hmm?” Holding the fruit in his hand, Bu Fang glanced around in confusion. He was sure that someone was spying on him just now, but he could not sense anyone nearby.

Shaking his head, he looked down at the Fruit of Law. He found that it seemed to be filled with a very strong temptation.

Just then, Summer and the Divine Emperor fell from the sky at the same time and appeared at his side, scanning the interior of the inheritance. The ancient HeavenG.o.d’s inheritance had been stored in the Divine Chef Temple for a long time, so they had always been curious about what was inside.

The interior of the inheritance was not narrow. In addition to the Fruit of Law, there were quite a few things in the s.p.a.ce, including many books and some strange items.

Summer’s curiosity had already been aroused. She kept walking around inside, touching here and there.

Compared to her, the Divine Emperor was much more prudent. With just one glance, he already had a good idea of the things inside. In the whole s.p.a.ce, the most precious thing was still the Fruit of Law, for it could cultivate the talent of the younger generation.

Bu Fang no longer felt the sense of being spied on anymore. He did not dwell on that either. With the Fruit of Law in his hand, he looked at the Divine Emperor and Summer.

“I didn’t expect you to break the seals without informing us in advance.” The Divine Emperor’s tone was somewhat emotional. Looking at the Fruit of Law in Bu Fang’s hand, he was a little envious. It was a pity that he was so old that it would be a waste if he were to have the fruit.

Bu Fang chatted with them for a while. He told them that he had no intention of taking away anything else in the inheritance. Except for the Fruit of Law, none of these things were of any use to him.

Since he had said so, Summer and the Divine Emperor naturally took everything away without standing on ceremony.

After taking everything away, they planned to leave the place. They rose to the sky and walked through the air.

Bu Fang planned to go back to the restaurant, eat the Fruit of Law, and comprehend the fifth supreme Law of the Universe. In this way, he would comprehend all five supreme Laws.

However, just as Bu Fang shot up into the sky, a figure flew over abruptly, stopping in front of him with a monstrous aura.

The Divine Emperor and Summer frowned and looked at the figure that blocked their way with confusion. Through the b.l.o.o.d.y moonlight, they saw that the figure was none other than Ah Mo from the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty.

“The Fruit of Law…” Ah Mo bit her lip and looked at the fruit in Bu Fang’s hand.

The Divine Emperor frowned. He did not expect that Ah Mo had not yet given up.

“Her Majesty said that the crown princess is the hope of mankind… I hope Your Majesty can give the Fruit of Law to my crown princess…” said Ah Mo. She was breathing very fast, and her eyes were fixed on the Fruit of Law in Bu Fang’s hand.

Bu Fang furrowed his brows.

“My crown princess has comprehended four of the supreme Laws of the Universe. She is amazingly gifted. Please, Your Majesty…”

“Wait a minute.”

Ah Mo still wanted to talk, but she was cut off by Bu Fang’s cold voice. She paused and looked at him suspiciously.

“You want the Fruit of Law? You’re giving it to your crown princess? Why?” Bu Fang asked.

“My crown princess has already comprehended four of the supreme Laws of the Universe…” Ah Mo said.

“I am the one who acquired this Fruit of Law. Why should I give it to you? Also… I have comprehended four of the supreme Laws of the Universe as well.”

Ah Mo did not like that at all. “But Her Majesty said the crown princess is the hope of mankind… Do you want to kill mankind’s hope?!”

Bu Fang shook his head.

On the side, the Divine Emperor’s expression finally changed, and there was irritation in his eyes. ‘If only this Ah Mo had a little sense of her crown princess…’ he thought.

“The Empress said… she’s the hope of all mankind?” The corner of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched slightly. Glancing at Ah Mo, he went on, “I know Xiao Yanyu’s character very well. She is not fit to be the hope of all mankind…”

Ah Mo still wanted to argue, but she was mercilessly interrupted by Bu Fang.

Bu Fang, holding the Fruit of Law in his hand, decided that he did not want to be kind to her anymore. A powerful aura abruptly erupted from him, while one Wheel of Law after another appeared above his head.

With each wheel that appeared, Ah Mo felt the pressure pressing down on her grew stronger.

“The so-called hope for all mankind is only your excuse… It’s just an excuse for your own sake!

“Have you ever thought about what Xiao Yanyu wants? Does she really care to be the hope of all mankind?

“You should know clearly what you are afraid of… Even if you let Xiao Yanyu comprehend all five supreme Laws of the Universe, what is the use of that? You’re only doing this so that you can increase her value, so that the Xiayi Divine Dynasty can protect her and protect you! Because you’re afraid to face the Soul Demon!”

Bu Fang’s tone was cold, and his every word made Ah Mo shudder. As his aura continued to soar, the four Wheels of Law blossomed with a blinding light above his head.

Ah Mo stared with a blank face. Bu Fang’s aura was far more powerful than the crown princess. Although both of them had comprehended four of the supreme Laws of the Universe, their auras were worlds apart.

The Divine Emperor watched coldly on the side and said nothing.

Ah Mo was a little panicked. She opened her mouth and tried to speak again, but Bu Fang gave her no chance.

Like a HeavenG.o.d, Bu Fang put his hands behind his back and stood in the sky, unleas.h.i.+ng his aura.

Even though Ah Mo was a high-grade G.o.d King, the aura pushed her down and made her fall on her back on the ground. She looked up at Bu Fang in disbelief, wondering why this DemiG.o.d was so… fierce.

Bu Fang paid no more attention to her. He took a step, shot through the sky like a meteor, and landed in the restaurant in just a flash.

The Divine Emperor looked at Ah Mo and said nothing. If it were not for the sake of the Immortal Spirit Empress, he would not even have sent the Gold Armor Guard to save them.

‘A hope for all mankind who almost died at the hands of the Soul Demon… How ridiculous. The real hope for all mankind should be someone like Mister Bu, who had killed countless Soul Demons with his stinky tofu!’

…

Bu Fang landed outside the restaurant, holding the Fruit of Law that kept giving off a strong fruity aroma. Without looking back, he stepped into the restaurant and closed the door.

A few moments later, the Divine Emperor and Summer also landed outside, fixing their eyes on the restaurant.

Bu Fang was a DemiG.o.d, so he still had a chance to build his foundation. Once he ate the Fruit of Law, he could comprehend one more supreme Law of the Universe.

Could he become the first genius ever to comprehend all five of the supreme Laws of the Universe? They waited patiently outside the restaurant for a miracle…

…

Outside the Xiayi Divine Dynasty’s capital, the war raged on. It was a war between the Soul Demon and humanity, and they had come to a stalemate.

Somewhere in the starry sky, a stream of silver light streaked toward a direction at great speed.

Meanwhile, in a great world under the rule of the Xiayi Divine Dynasty…

The great world was the front line of the divine dynasty’s defense. Once it collapsed, the divine dynasty would find it difficult to resist the Soul Demons’ all-out attack. At the moment, it was packed with the divine dynasty’s troops and experts.

Suddenly, the experts saw a flash of light in the sky. With this silver light, countless Soul Demons appeared in midair. They all looked greedy with saliva dripping from their mouths as they stared down at the humans.

The pupils of one of the high-grade G.o.d Kings constricted, and then he roared at the top of his lungs.

“Enemy attack!”

The whole great world woke up in an instant.

Soul Thirteen’s mouth became much larger now. It was as if a boundless starry sky was swirling inside. Looking at the human experts down below, he let out a cold laugh. He felt he was extremely hungry!

The next moment, he opened his mouth wide and inhaled.

A terrible hurricane instantly appeared. The whole great world collapsed at this moment, filling the air with sand and stones. One after another, human experts were swallowed by Soul Thirteen, falling into the bottomless world in his mouth.
