Chapter 1290 Enter Nether Prison, The Finals Begin

Yu Luo’s surrender took everyone by surprise. No one thought that this fellow would give up his dignity as a Perfected Little Saint. Under the mighty pressure of the Yellow Spring Great Sage, he had dropped to his knees and begged for mercy.In fact, no one knew that he was bleeding inside. He just wanted to have a good vacation after he finished the task. However, he didn’t expect that he would fail!

“My Stone Statue Ghost Kings have just been broken by a bunch of unruly boys from Nether Prison. You will take their place and guard the entrance for me,” the Great Saint said faintly.

Yu Luo’s heart was filled with grief. As a noble Winged Man and a Perfected Little Saint, he was reduced to guarding for others. He was very upset. He took a deep look at Bu Fang, who was drinking tea from a teapot, then sighed with his charred wings drooping.

The corner of the Yellow Spring Great Sage’s mouth curled upward slightly as he glanced at Bu Fang. “I’ll wait for you, boy,” he said meaningfully. After that, he grabbed Yu Luo by the arm, took a step, and disappeared before all eyes.

Jin Jiao and You Ji flew over from a distance. When they saw that Bu Fang was unscathed, their expressions became a little strange.

“I can’t believe you’re still in one piece after resisting those attacks from peak Little Saints?” Jin Jiao said, taking a deep breath. His eyes grew incredulous as he looked at Bu Fang.

Bu Fang put away the teapot. After a few sips of the Nine Revolution Great Path Tea, he felt much refreshed, and his mental force had recovered a lot. Hearing Jin Jiao’s words, he just twitched the corner of his mouth.

“As long as Great Saints don’t show up in person, any attempt to kill me is just a joke,” he said.

His reply made Jin Jiao and You Ji gasp, and the audience who heard them through the light screen broke out into an uproar.

“This showboating... We approve it!”

“This little chef is getting better and better at showboating!”

“How can Great Saints show up casually?”

Among the crowd in front of the light screen, some were shocked by Bu Fang’s strength, while some were shocked by his powerful remark.

As long as Great Saints didn’t show up, no one could kill him!

How many people in this world could attract a Great Saint to attack him?

Bu Fang knew very well that his current cultivation base was still too weak. If he was stronger, when he was possessed by Artifact Spirits, the power they could exert would be even stronger, and he might even be able to resist attacks from a Great Saint. After all, the Black Turtle’s defense was almost invincible.

Jin Jiao and You Ji didn’t waste time and directly brought Bu Fang back to Yellow Spring Town.

There was no light screen in the town. After all, it was prepared for the competition rather than for the audience. The Nether Prison experts paced restlessly back and forth in the square, while Lu Cheng leaned against a wall with his buttocks facing outside. There was a wound on his ass, which was pierced by the skeleton’s golden spear.

“That little chef must be dead, isn’t he?”

“The skeleton in golden armor is from the Cave of the Fallen Gods, an expert from a forbidden land. Even Captain Lu Cheng was seriously injured by it. How could the little chef survive?”

“He’s just a mere One-revolution Little Saint. Maybe he has some means to fight a Two-revolution Little Saint, but the skeleton is a peak Little Saint... There’s no way he could escape death this time!”

The Nether Prison experts had nothing to do, so they talked with each other. Zhang Xuan was dead, killed by the Yellow Spring Great Sage with a slap. No one was to be blamed for this, though they all felt that he had died wrongly.

After some time, three figures flew from outside the town and landed in the square. Everyone’s eyes lit up and looked at them, but what they saw made them all gasp.

“That little chef is... not dead?!”

“Not only is he still alive, but he’s also unscathed! How’s that possible? Isn’t he targeted by the skeleton?!”

“What a lucky guy... The fluctuation of the battle just now was so terrible. He’s so weak, and yet he’s still alive!”

The Nether Prison experts were all surprised when they saw the expressionless and unscathed Bu Fang.

As soon as Jin Jiao and You Ji landed in the square with Bu Fang, Yin Jiao and Luo Ji rushed up to them. Seeing that Bu Fang was still alive, the two of them couldn’t help but breathe sighs of relief. Earlier, when they heard the appearance of an expert from the Cave of the Fallen Gods, they all thought he was dead. In the end, he was still alive and well.

Suddenly, Jin Jiao thought of something. He squinted at Bu Fang and asked, “By the way, have you found a jade plate?”

Bu Fang nodded and raised his hand. On his palm, a jade plate with the ‘one’ symbol carved on its surface appeared. There was no doubt that this was the jade plate representing the first place, and it was found by him.

The Nether Prison experts in the distance were chagrined at the sight of Bu Fang’s jade plate. They had been searching for it for a long time and couldn’t find it. It turned out that he had found it before them. Didn’t that mean the first place of the individual competition was won by this puny little chef from the Immortal Cooking Realm?

The audience exploded into an uproar when they saw the jade plate in Bu Fang’s hand through the light screen. If the first place of the semifinal was won by this little chef, it was basically a slap in the face of all Nether Prison experts. They all claimed to be geniuses, and although they were only from the second-best team, they had looked down on Bu Fang and others. In the end, however, the first place was won by someone they looked down upon.

Two figures slowly walked into the town. They were Fa Wu and Fa Shang. Fa Shang’s face was somewhat gloomy because he couldn’t find a jade plate. The rest of the jade plates were already taken by the Nether Prison contestants. At this point, all the contestants had returned because the time was up. Almost all of them came back empty-handed, except Fa Wu, who held a jade plate in his hand.

Jin Jiao stepped into the arena and asked all the contestants who had found the jade plates to also step into the arena. Eight Nether Prison contestants stood up and took the stage. Of the ten jade plates, they got eight, while the remaining two were found by Bu Fang and Fa Wu. These ten contestants were the semi-finalists. They would enter Nether Prison for the finals.

The result was somewhat unexpected. The contestants from Earth Prison were all eliminated, and one contestant from the West Little Buddhism Realm and one from the Immortal Cooking Realm were in the top ten.

...

Everyone who looked at the light screen in Nether Prison was silent. The Immortal Cooking Realm was a very weak small world, but it’s contestant had won first place in this semifinal. It was kind of ironic.

On the other hand, the Nether Prison contestants in the arena were furious. It was Bu Fang’s scheme that killed Zhang Xuan. If he were still alive, he would surely lead them to find all the jade plates, and they would also take up all the top ten places in the semifinal. If that happened, they wouldn’t have glanced at the audience outside the arena with the look in their eyes now. They would be as confident and proud as ever.

...

Meanwhile, the people in the Immortal Cooking Realm were already boiling. For them, it was a miracle that Bu Fang had won first place in the semifinal of the individual competition.

“As always, the Great Demon King never ceases creating miracles!”

“The Great Demon King is indeed the Immortal Cooking Realm’s pride!”

“The Great Demon King is invincible! Try your best to win first place in the finals!”

The Immortal Cooking Realm experts were all screaming with excitement. Even Meng Qi and the other city lords sitting in front of the light screen were chuckling. Bu Fang had indeed brought great honor to the Immortal Cooking Realm. They thought the Immortal Cooking Realm would be cannon fodder for this tournament, but he alone had made the team the greatest dark horse in the competition! That was enough for them. Even if he lost the first match in the finals after entering Nether Prison, they would still be proud enough. At the very least, they had made an appearance in front of all the experts from different small worlds.

...

Jin Jiao took the jade plates back and announced the ranking. The more Nether Prison contestants listened, the angrier they became. The rankings were a humiliation to them, as the first and third places were taken by two experts from other small worlds. They would sure be laughed at by the best team once they got back to Nether Prison. Perhaps, at this moment, they had already become the laughing stock of the best team.

“Don’t be so full of yourself... The finals won’t be as easy as the semifinals. The members of the best team are a group of freaks,” a Nether Prison expert gritted his teeth and said to Bu Fang. They were upset by his attitude and wanted to frighten him.

However, Bu Fang only glanced at them indifferently and said, “You don’t know anything. As long as Great Saints don’t show up in person, any attempt to kill me is just a joke...”

His words shocked the Nether Prison experts. They couldn’t believe he was so confident and reckless. Moreover, it sounded strange to them when such a remark was made by a mere One-revolution Little Saint.

“You can all go back and have a good rest now. The semifinals of the individual and team competitions are over, and so are the competitions held in Earth Prison. Next, the finals of the individual and team competitions will be held in Nether Prison. Before going there, you all have three days to rest,” Jin Jiao said.

The look in his eyes was somewhat complicated. None of Earth Prison’s contestants made it to the finals of the individual competition. Fortunately, they qualified for the team finals and had the chance to enter Nether Prison. Otherwise, it would be a slap in the face. As one of the organizers, how could Earth Prison not have a contestant in the finals?

After Jin Jiao announced that the competition was over, Bu Fang left the arena and returned to the inn.

As soon as he entered the inn, he saw that Zhu Yan and the others were still in their rooms. Obviously, they were still cultivating and trying to break through. So he went back to his room, washed up, and had a good rest. He was also tired from the battle and the competition.

After relaxing for a while, he entered the Heaven and Earth Farmland. Nowadays, the spiritual energy in the farmland was very rich. His apprentices were all cultivating there, and their cultivation bases were soaring, especially Xiao Xiaolong and Yu Fu. The spiritual energy in the Light Wind Empire was hundreds of times worse than the farmland, so their cultivation bases had improved by leaps and bounds.

Lu Cheng’s Sacred Nether Puppet had been smashed by the skeleton, so Bu Fang couldn’t get its heart to repair Whitey. If he wanted to find another one, he had to go to Nether Prison. He had a feeling that the trip to Nether Prison would not be an easy one. In his view, Nether Prison seemed to be enveloped in an enormous haze, fraught with peril. Therefore, he didn’t dare to be careless and planned to make more preparations before setting out.

He also thought of another thing. As an overlord-class small world, people living in Nether Prison must have strong purchasing power. If he wanted to improve his cultivation base, he must find ways to increase the rate of accumulating more turnover while he was there. And so, what dishes to cook had become a headache for him.

Bu Fang spent the next three days in the farmland, studying new dishes. Such days were always pleasant and short.

Three days passed quickly. On the fourth day, he left the farmland. Nethery and Foxy didn’t go out with him.

Bu Fang opened his door. To his surprise, Zhu Yan and the others were already waiting for him outside. They looked refreshed, and their cultivation bases had greatly improved. Without a doubt, this trip to Earth Prison had brought them great benefits.

They were all very excited because they could represent the Immortal Cooking Realm in the finals held in Nether Prison. This filled their hearts with a sense of honor.

A huge array had been carved in the center of the square, covering the entire arena. The contestants arrived in droves. Fa Wu saw Bu Fang from a distance, and he nodded to the latter. Over the past three days, the West Little Buddhism Realm team had filled up five contestants.

Everyone stepped into the arena.

The Nether Prison experts were all staring at Bu Fang. As someone who had taken the first place in the individual competition, he naturally became a thorn in their side. They were all sneering because Nether Prison was their home court. Once they were there, Bu Fang would be at their mercy!

Surrounded by the din of the contestants, Lu Cheng inserted one crystal after another into the sockets of the array. Soon, the array activated and began to shine brightly. All of a sudden, a white beam of light fell from the sky and enveloped the whole arena.

When the light faded away, everyone in the arena disappeared.

Jin Jiao, You Ji, and the others took a deep breath as they watched the light fade away. They wondered how these contestants would perform in Nether Prison, as they were about to face those terrifying geniuses of Nether Prison’s best team.
