Chapter 1660: Heaven and Earth Mourn at the Same Time
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“We’re closed for today.”
Bu Fang rose from his chair and looked indifferently at the group of people in front of him.
After two days of business, Bu Fang had no idea how much sales he had acc.u.mulated.
But he did not care. His main purpose of selling Soul Overlord meat was not to earn sales, although it did come very fast.
In fact, just as those Hua and American leaders thought, he wanted to give the humans on Earth some chance to fight the Soul Demons.
For any universe, Soul Demons were a fearsome invasive species. In the face of such a terrifying invader, if the humans of Earth were not strong enough, they would easily be devoured.
Earth was where Bu Fang grew up, so he naturally did not want to see it destroyed.
The Artifact Spirits had all been awakened. He could not stay on Earth for the rest of his life. He would eventually have to return to the Chaotic Universe and embark on the path of becoming the G.o.d of Cooking.
After all, he had not reached the end of his journey yet, and he did not have the capital to help Earth. But before he left, he would do what he had to do.
Bu Fang’s face was cold. It silenced the people who were standing in line.
His might was still there. After all, he was an existence who could kill Soul Overlords, and he was also very unreasonable. The man from Sakura Island who came on the first day had talked about fairness to Bu Fang, but in the end, he was knocked flying away with a finger.
Now, no one dared to say anything in front of him. They could only abide by his rules.
“Senior Bu, so we can only buy Soul Overlord meat tomorrow?” A blond woman from the United States sighed sadly. She came from a top family, and in order to get the meat, she had used all her means to finally get 100 million Hua dollars in cash.
“Tomorrow? No… I’ll let you know the next time Bubu Little Kitchen opens for business. But the sale of Soul Overlord meat ends today,” Bu Fang said.
His words left everyone stunned. Some people who were planning to leave and come back the next day looked up in horror.
What did Bu Fang say? The sale of Soul Overlord meat was over? How long had it been? Two days? Many people did not believe it and kept asking questions.
However, Bu Fang gave them no answer. He did not bother to answer. He went back into the restaurant and closed the door.
All the people were shut outside the door. Some of them knocked on the door and begged Bu Fang to let them buy the last slice of Soul Overlord meat, but they were all refused.
In front of the door, the Celestial Dog stood up and barked at the group of people, baring its teeth. It was a divine beast, so these people were naturally afraid of it.
It had become a fact that Bu Fang no longer sold Soul Overlord meat. Everyone was dumbfounded. They knew he would stop selling Soul Overlord meat, but no one expected this day to come so quickly.
In the restaurant, Yang Jian, Nethery, and the Empyrean Fairy were all sitting in chairs.
Yang Jian was quite drunk on the wine he had gotten from the Queen Mother. He was drowning his sorrows with it.
The Celestial Dog had abandoned him and no longer followed him. He was very sad. He had become stronger, but what was the point of him being stronger without the Celestial Dog?
He did not shave his beard, and he looked very depressed.
Bu Fang returned to the restaurant. He took one look at Yang Jian and then ignored him.
He sensed that the cave guarded by the three emperors had been invaded by Soul Demons. The place was too important for him to neglect.
Tongtian had also sent a message to him. After reading it, he decided to go up into the sky with the Sect Leader again.
He was hesitating whether to take Nethery with him. He felt that the trip seemed dangerous because the three emperors were guarding the cosmic portal to the Soul Demon Universe. Once that portal collapsed, the top beings in the Soul Demon Universe could easily invade Earth.
Bu Fang’s strength was strong enough to fight against ordinary Soul Overlords, but he might struggle against the seven Soul Overlords of the Soul Demon Universe… Not to mention the possibility of encountering the Soul G.o.d.
At the thought of the name, Bu Fang felt a little stressed. In the end, he decided not to take Nethery.
After telling the others that he would be gone for a while, Bu Fang put his hands behind him and turned to leave.
He did not take anyone except Shrimpy. The main reason was that the little fellow was clinging to him. As for the Kun Bird, he brought it with him after much hesitation.
The Kun Bird, stimulated by Soul Overlord meat, had broken through to the Immortal Emperor level. It became very clever, and its top speed also increased, almost reaching the level of teleportation.
With it, even if he was in danger, he would be able to escape at great speed.
…
Bu Fang walked out of the restaurant.
There was still a group of people outside the door who could not accept the truth. They had money now and wanted to eat meat, but they could no longer buy it.
Bu Fang did not look at them, no matter how they called him.
He patted the Kun Bird’s head. The great bird spread its wings and rose into the sky, whipping up a gust of wind and disappearing in an instant.
Fighter jets from different countries, including Hua and the United States, were watching Bu Fang. The moment he left the restaurant, several stealth fighters followed behind him.
However, they quickly discovered to their horror that their sonic aircraft could not keep up with the Kun Bird’s speed. In just the blink of an eye, Bu Fang was gone.
…
In the South Sea, a figure stood on a vast expanse of water.
The figure wore a Daoist robe. His hands were clasped behind his back, and four immortal swords of different colors suspended behind him. Stepping on a bamboo leaf floating in the water, his body was as steady and unmoving as a mountain.
Suddenly, the water parted to both sides, and then the Kun Bird descended from the sky.
Bu Fang approached in an instant and glanced at Tongtian. They both could see the grave look in each other’s eyes.
“Here you are, fellow Daoist Bu,” Tongtian said.
He looked tired. Apparently, he had thought a lot about it, too. It would be a nightmare for the Ancestral Planet if the portal to the Soul Demon Universe were broken.
“I’ve already asked the Primitive Universe for help. If worst comes to worst, let’s hope the Chaotic Saints of the Primitive Universe will show up and protect the Ancestral Planet,” the Sect Leader said with a smile.
Bu Fang nodded. They said nothing more after that.
The only ones left on Earth today who could face these things were the two of them and the three human emperors in the cave.
The Kun Bird spread its wings and flew straight up into the sky. Bu Fang and Tongtian, standing on the bird’s back, soared into the sky together.
…
The cave above the vault of heaven was no longer hidden at this moment. It just hung in the sky, wrapped in clouds.
The Kun Bird rushed out of the thick clouds and gave a loud crow. The next moment, it turned into a bolt of lightning and flew into the cave. With a booming sound, it spread its wings and then slowly descended.
Bu Fang and Tongtian came down together.
The Sect Leader stepped on a flying sword, which flashed with dazzling light and burst with great power, carrying him toward the cave. “Fellow Daoist Bu, I’ll go first!”
Bu Fang’s eyes narrowed slightly. With a thought, the Black Turtle Constellation Wok emerged in front of him. He sat cross-legged down on it and flew toward the cave as well.
He looked at Tongtian, who was drifting like a sword immortal with a flying sword under his feet, then looked at the black wok under his b.u.t.t. For a moment, Bu Fang felt as if something was not right…
Shrimpy was on his shoulder, spitting bubbles. Soon, they came to the familiar cave.
Suddenly, Tongtian stopped. Bu Fang focused his eyes, landed next to him, and looked ahead. The rock in the cave was broken, and the walls were covered with cracks.
They looked at each other and saw the serious look in each other’s eyes. They had come too late!
The two of them stepped into the cave one after another. Traces of the battle spread deep into the cave, and the ground was covered with broken stones.
Suddenly, Tongtian stopped walking. Not far in front of him on the ground was a puddle of blood, which was flas.h.i.+ng with golden light.
“The blood of a Saint.” Tongtian’s eyes were cold, but his tone was a little sad.
The puddle of blood was found at the end of the cave. Further ahead was the spinning black hole. No one knew what was behind that black hole.
“Suiren’s gone…” Bu Fang said. “More than one Soul Demon must have attacked this place. Suiren’s blood is here, but his body is not. I guess he went into the black hole while fighting the Soul Demons…”
Suppressing his anger, he looked up. He could no longer see the two mighty figures who suppressed the portal.
What should they do next? Tongtian and Bu Fang exchanged a glance. The next moment, the Sect Leader suddenly burst out laughing.
“I worry too much. What choice do I have? The most direct way is to go into the black hole and kill any Soul Demon I see!”
If a Saint of great merit and virtue like Suiren died, the Ancestral Planet would surely sense it. But there was no change in heaven and earth. This showed that he was still fighting, even though he was bleeding.
Since this was the case, how could they retreat?
“Fight!” A plume of purple emerged from the top of Tongtian’s head, and then he took out his green sword.
“Fellow Daoist Bu, you don’t have to go in there. After all, Suiren said that you are a crucial existence to the fight against Soul Demons, so I must keep you safe. Let me go into it this time!” Tongtian said. His fighting spirit was soaring.
Holding the sword in one hand, he used the other hand to perform sword incantation gestures and sent them into the void.
“These are the sword incantation gestures to contact the Primitive Universe. I’ve asked Saints of the Great Path to come here and help us. If I should fall, there are others to protect the Ancestral Planet.”
After doing all this, he sped into the black hole. The portal rotated and swallowed him in an instant.
The corner of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched slightly as he watched the Sect Leader disappear. Sitting on the Black Turtle Constellation Wok, he also plunged into the black hole.
…
After they stepped into the black hole, a dramatic change occurred abruptly on Earth.
The sky all over the world suddenly turned black. Dark clouds appeared without warning and enveloped the whole world. Then, it began to rain cats and dogs.
Flower petals fluttered in the rain, an immortal tune lingered in the air, and the shadows of dragons loomed in the lightning bolts. However, the petals were all stained with blood, the immortal tune was sorrowful, and the dragon roars were sad…
People all over the world, regardless of their race, looked up at the strange phenomenon. At this moment, a sad emotion inexplicably rose in everyone’s heart.
Many people had tears in the corners of their eyes, not knowing what had happened. But they all knew that someone important, someone who had been watching over them, was about to leave them.
Heaven and earth mourned together. What was happening?
At Mount Kunlun, the Queen Mother of the West stood outside her palace. Looking at the dismal phenomenon in the sky, her face suddenly turned pale.
“Heaven and earth mourn together… A Saint of merit and virtue has fallen. Haven’t the Soul Demons been suppressed? Why is this still happening?”
Meanwhile, on the Immortal Island of Penglai…
Countless Immortals sat cross-legged on futons, reciting scriptures with their eyes closed. Suddenly, a crack ripped open in the sky above the island, and multicolored light was cast down from it. It seemed that some supreme being had descended from a distant universe.
Bu Fang and Tongtian, who had already entered the black hole, were unaware of all this.
…
Inside the black hole was a boundless starry sky. Bu Fang and Tongtian hovered in midair, their pupils constricting and staring into the distance.
There was a figure sitting cross-legged in midair. His head was bowed. A tree branch was laid across his shoulders, and his arms were on it. Two heads were hung at the two ends of the branch.
They were the heads of Pride Soul Overlord and l.u.s.t Soul Overlord.
The sound of Suiren’s loud and cheerful laughter seemed to linger in the boundless starry sky…
