Chapter 1644: The Best Barbecue Technique in the Universe
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
G.o.d was smashed! Of course, it was his body that was smashed. Although he was supreme and immortal, he was still a cultivator. His immortality was just a vague comparison to the short and weak lives of mortals. For Bu Fang, G.o.d was a HeavenG.o.d-level expert, and according to the realms on Earth, he was a Saint of the Great Path.
His body was smashed, but he still had his divine soul, which was indestructible. The moment his body was crushed, his divine soul had fled.
Although the body was precious, to a Saint of the Great Path, it was not the most important. As long as G.o.d was given time, he would be able to be reborn and materialize a new body. And perhaps, through rebirth, he could cultivate a purer body. It was very difficult, of course, for he had to cultivate to the Saint level one more time, and he needed to comprehend the Great Path again.
Dark clouds rolled and churned in the sky. Bu Fang frowned as he looked up. He seemed to sense a gaze, which came from above the sky and rested on him, making his hair stand on end. The feeling was hard to put in words.
“Who is that…” he muttered.
Tongtian came back to his senses. G.o.d’s body was smashed, but he did not think much of it. Just because they smashed the body did not mean they killed G.o.d. He looked up at the sky as well. However, apart from the rolling dark clouds, he did not see anyone, so he did not understand who Bu Fang was referring to.
In fact, the Sect Leader was puzzled. He had returned from the Primitive Universe, but none of the Saints of the Great Path had returned. So far, the only Saint he met was G.o.d, whose body was smashed by them just now and was considered the weakest Saint.
Why did G.o.d, a Saint of the Great Path, appear on Earth? Tongtian did not understand. If G.o.d had returned, why had the other Saints of the Great Patin not returned? What were the secrets behind this?
“Can’t you see?” Bu Fang gave Tongtian a puzzled look.
“See what?” The Sect Leader frowned—he could tell that Bu Fang was not lying. He narrowed his eyes and looked up once again. This time, however, sharp energy filled his pupils. A rumbling sound echoed out as the dark clouds were pushed away by his gaze, then he saw… a figure sitting cross-legged amid the splitting clouds!
Taken aback, he cried out, “Who is that?!”
“I just asked you the same question…” Bu Fang rolled his eyes.
…
G.o.d was smashed and turned into spiritual energy. People all over the world were stunned. What happened? That was the omnipotent G.o.d, and yet he was… smashed by someone?
A shower of light began to fall. People were confused. When they raised their hands, the dots of light pa.s.sed through their palms and seemed to blend into their bodies. They felt refreshed, almost as if they had been reborn.
The Queen Mother was terrified. She knew the Sect Leader was very strong. In fact, she dared not to provoke Tongtian. After all, he could fight even a Saint of the Great Path. However, she did not expect that evil man to be so fearsome as well.
The four Divine Artifacts were taken by that evil man, and it made her face a little livid. It was a slap in the faces of all the G.o.ds who were here. “The body of a Saint of the Great Path is smashed… This is horrifying. That evil man must have borrowed the Divine Artifacts’ power,” she muttered to herself. “Otherwise, with his strength of an Immortal Emperor, he could never hurt a Saint!”
She did not believe that Bu Fang had such strength, but she believed that the Divine Artifacts had the power.
The disintegration of a Saint’s body was like a catalyst sprinkled on Earth. The spiritual energy began to boil, and the land expanded further.
Xiao Ai and the others were already struck dumb. “What happened? That’s G.o.d, not some superhuman! It turns out that he could be smashed as well? Is there anything in the world that could stop Senior?!”
Tongtian and Bu Fang exchanged a glance and saw the grave look in each other’s eyes. There was actually a supreme being spying on Earth? It was impossible, absolutely impossible…
“Only those top Saints of the Great Path could spy on me without alerting me… But most of the Saints on the Ancestral Planet had already gone to the Primitive Universe… Who exactly is this guy? Is he the one who plotted everything? The Ancestral Planet’s recovery and the Divine Artifacts… Is he the one behind all this?”
The Sect Leader was a little freaked out. He took a deep breath. He felt as if a huge net had enveloped him, and he was just a chess piece that was being controlled by someone. “I’m Tongtian. Even my master can’t control me. Who is this guy? How dare he try to control me?!” His voice was fierce.
“Let’s go up there and meet him?” Bu Fang glanced at the Sect Leader and suggested.
Tongtian was fuming. He was a straightforward man with a bad temper. He had dared to fight all the foreign G.o.ds for Bu Fang, who was considered an evil man by the Immortals of Hua, and now that he was aware that he was being spied on, he was naturally not happy.
He slapped Kuiniu’s bottom. The yak mooed, bent its legs slightly, and pushed itself into the sky, rus.h.i.+ng into the clouds in a flash and rising higher and higher. As a divine beast, going above the sky was easy for the Kuiniu. If it could not get to the top of the sky, it would not be considered a divine beast.
Bu Fang lightly tapped the Kun Bird with his toe. The big bird flapped its wings and soared into the sky immediately. They turned into two streams of light and rushed into the sky, heading straight toward the mysterious being in the clouds, who was spying on everything.
As they approached, Bu Fang felt that the G.o.d of Cooking Sets in him were s.h.i.+vering, and the frequency grew faster and faster as he flew closer to the being. What did that tell him? It meant that the existence in the clouds was very likely to be the one who kept suppressing and spying on him, who sent down lightning punishment whenever he cooked. He wondered who this was.
The Kun Bird flapped its wings, flying higher and higher into the sky. Clouds kept fading behind them. The Kuiniu was not as fast as the bird, but it was a divine beast, and it could fly to the top of the sky as well.
Tongtian looked straight up. A sword hung above his head, glowing brilliantly with a green lotus flower spinning under its hilt.
The world grew smaller and smaller under them as they kept approaching the top of the sky. Soon, they rushed out of the clouds and came to a vast expanse of s.p.a.ce filled with twinkling stars and shooting meteorites. However, Bu Fang and Tongtian did not stop there.
The Kun Bird flapped its wings and soared higher, while the Kuiniu kicked the s.p.a.ce and pushed itself up further. The starry sky seemed to be thrown behind them.
At last, Bu Fang and Tongtian felt as if they had broken through some kind of restriction, and the starry sky before them disappeared.
What greeted them was a s.p.a.cious cave shrouded in clouds. There was a flickering fire in it, which looked like an eternal flame, and as it swayed and twitched, it gave forth an enchanting force that seemed to absorb the soul of those who looked at it.
“Who exactly is he?!” The Sect Leader felt his heart pound in his chest. Based on the power he sensed, this was definitely not an ordinary Saint of the Great Path. Was he a Chaotic Saint like his master?
Only that no Saint of the Great Path could descend on today’s Earth, let alone a Chaotic Saint, who was a higher level being. So, the ident.i.ty of the mysterious being had become the biggest question in Tongtian’s mind.
The Kun Bird folded its wings fearfully, transformed into a little bird, and perched on top of Bu Fang’s head. The Kuiniu, on the other hand, was so scared that it would not move, no matter how the Sect Leader urged it. It was even more scared than when it saw Bu Fang.
Who would be the existence that made even the divine beasts afraid? Bu Fang was suddenly curious.
The air was filled with spiritual energy, which came from G.o.d’s disintegrated body. It was as if an invisible force had attracted it here.
Bu Fang and Tongtian exchanged a glance. Then, they walked toward the cave together. Once inside the cave, they heard the crackling of a fire.
The fire came from the burning of what looked like the most common firewoods, but it made the divine flame in Bu Fang stir. It was as if it had met a higher-level nemesis. Bu Fang was surprised. His divine flame had fused with three thousand Laws and was very powerful, and yet it was frightened by the common flames in the cave.
As he approached, Bu Fang felt a scorching heat come blowing in his face. The temperature made his expression change slightly.
“This is the purest fire in the world… My Samadhi Fire is nothing before it…” The Sect Leader was shocked as well. Suddenly, his pupils constricted as he seemed to recall something. “I think I know who this existence is…” He shuddered and turned to look at Bu Fang.
“Hmm? Who is he?” Bu Fang asked.
Tongtian took a deep breath and was about to say the name when a cough was heard coming from the depths of the cave. They both jerked their heads in that direction.
A hunched figure slowly walked over from there. Bu Fang was confused as he looked at the figure, but Tongtian’s face was full of excitement, his eyes flas.h.i.+ng with reverence.
“You’re finally here.” The voice was old, but it contained supreme authority that seemingly made Bu Fang’s blood boil, filling him with a reverence that seemed to come from the depths of his blood.
Meanwhile, in his spirit sea, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Qilin all froze in place as if they were statues, and they had retracted their aura. Even the System fell completely silent. Bu Fang narrowed his eyes. There was no doubt that the man who walked out of the cave was a mighty being!
Under the flickering light of the flames, Bu Fang finally got a clear view of the figure. It was an old man who was naked from the waist up and only covered the lower part of his body with animal skin. His hair was tied up in braids with threads made of dried gra.s.s, and his eyes narrowed. He looked benevolent, but the powerful look of a supreme being could still be seen under that kind face.
The old man was holding a huge beast leg, which was covered with scales. Bu Fang squinted at the leg, paused for a while, then cried out, “Soul Demon?!”
“Hmm… Do you know it, young man?”
The old man seemed a little surprised. Tongtian was slightly taken aback as well, and he glanced at Bu Fang. ‘Soul Demon? What is that?’
The huge beast leg was exuding unparalleled pressure, frightening those who sensed it. Holding it, the old man sat before the fire. “Since you recognize it… join me for a feast of barbecue leg. My barbecue technique… hehe… is the best in the universe,” said the old man, smiling.
Tongtian nodded. Without saying anything, he sat beside the fire.
‘The best barbecue technique in the universe?!’ Bu Fang twitched the corner of his mouth. ‘Doesn’t this old man think he’s too arrogant?’ However, barbecue Soul Demon meat sounded exciting. Besides, based on the leg’s aura, it did not seem to be ordinary Soul Demon meat.
So Bu Fang sat down beside the fire like the Sect Leader, facing the old man. At this moment, Bu Fang was starting to doubt if this old man was really the mysterious being who kept suppressing him and sent down lightning punishment whenever he cooked.
“How do I address you, old mister?” Bu Fang asked.
Tongtian gave Bu Fang a sideways glance and twitched the corner of his mouth. “You don’t know him?!”
The old man grabbed a wooden stick and violently shoved it through the Soul Demon meat. He did not remove the scales. Smiling, he held the meat over the fire.
Then, he turned to Bu Fang and said, “It is normal for you not to know me, as I’m not someone famous… I have forgotten my name, and I only remember that people are calling me…
“Suiren1.”
