Chapter 1558: The Soul Demons Are Coming!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Titan Divine Dynasty had completely turned into a kingdom of the Soul Demon? The news shook the entire Chaotic Universe. Everyone was stunned when they heard it, and some even thought it was fake news.

How could a divine dynasty with such a large population turn into a kingdom of the Soul Demon?

Besides... Although the Titan Divine Dynasty was the weaker of the three divine dynasties, it was still a divine dynasty with many great worlds. How could it be destroyed so easily?

And... The Titan Divine Emperor had fallen? How come this news did not get out at all?

The Xiayi Divine Emperor had passed this news to the Empress of the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty. They talked for a long time, but as to what they talked about, no one knew.

In short, the whole Xiayi Divine Dynasty was in a state of war readiness at once. Aristocratic families sent their experts to join the army, while source stones were sent outside the divine dynasty to build huge defensive arrays.

Meanwhile, the great worlds under the rule of the Xiayi Divine Dynasty were also in a state of war readiness. Their leaders had sent many of their experts into the divine dynasty’s capital, and it was only a few days before the capital was flooded with outsiders.

These outsiders were all experts from other great worlds. To prevent Soul Demons from disguising themselves as humans and infiltrating the capital, each of them had been rigorously checked.

The Dragon Valley was one of the great worlds under the Xiayi Divine Dynasty’s rule, and its leaders had been transferred to the capital as well. The Xiayi Divine Dynasty had already activated its defensive array, so it was safe to stay in it. This was done to preserve the sparks of the various great worlds.

Now, the Xiayi Divine Dynasty’s capital became very lively and packed with people. All kinds of beings could be seen everywhere—people with wings on their backs and experts with dragon heads could be seen walking and talking in the streets...

The situation became turbulent all of a sudden. Of course, no matter how turbulent the situation was, it did not matter much to Bu Fang. He had returned to his normal everyday life—opening the restaurant, cooking, then closing the restaurant...

The Titan crown prince had officially become an apprentice at the restaurant. It had been a long time since Bu Fang had had an apprentice, and this apprentice was the strongest of all his apprentices.

The crown prince showed a strong interest in cooking. Even Bu Fang was a little surprised by his madness. Perhaps it was hatred that gave rise to his interest in cooking, but this interest was difficult to translate into his cooking skills.

After all, learning to cook was not something that happened overnight.

In the kitchen, the crown prince, dressed in a chef’s robe provided by Bu Fang, was frantically chopping vegetables. Because of his high cultivation base, Bu Fang had high requirements on him. He had chopped so many vegetables that he almost had a mental breakdown—Bu Fang’s requirements for the cut ingredients were too strict.

Bu Fang, on the other hand, was cooking with no expression on his face. The Black Turtle Constellation Wok kept colliding with the White Tiger Heaven Stove, filling the kitchen with a constant clanging sound. Flames danced under the wok and sometimes jumped out of it, while hot steam rose ceaselessly, giving off heat and delicious aroma at the same time.

Bu Fang held an ordinary-looking ladle in his hand, which was actually the Qilin Transmigration Ladle. Using it to cook seemed to wrap the dish in a mystical coat, and it also gave him very precise control over the dish in the wok. His divine sense could flow through the ladle into the dish, and the feedback from the ladle was extremely clear.

He kept tossing the wok. The ladle clanged with the wok as the food jumped and sizzled.

A clean blue-and-white porcelain plate was placed on the stove. Bu Fang made one last toss, and immediately, the steaming dish fell into the ladle. Then, he turned the ladle upside down and placed it on the plate.

As he lifted the ladle, the dish spread like a flower. Wisps of hot steam rose from it, and a faint flow spread, making the dish look very beautiful.

The crown prince watched in amazement from the side. ‘So cooking is really a technical job...’

Ting-a-ling!

As the bell hanging on the curtain tinkled, Bu Fang carried the dish out of the kitchen.

The atmosphere in the restaurant was harmonious. People were chatting and talking about the current situation. Of course, while they were chatting, they were enjoying the food.

In a corner of the restaurant, a modestly dressed old man sat quietly. Bu Fang came over and put the dish in front of him. The hot steam wafting from the food blurred the old man’s eyes.

Bu Fang then took out a jar of Frost Blaze Path-Understanding Brew. As his cooking skills improved, so did the quality of the wine. He poured the clear liquid into a cup, then pushed it before the old man.

“Try this wine. It tastes good,” Bu Fang said.

The old man smiled gently, which caused the wrinkles on his face to show. He picked up the cup and finished the wine in one gulp.

“It is indeed a good wine...”

“Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty.” Bu Fang’s face was expressionless. He had long been accustomed to such praise.

“Fine wine with good food... It would be great if your restaurant could stay open in the Xiayi Divine Dynasty’s capital. It’s wonderful to have this kind of leisurely life... When I retire from the throne in the future, I may be able to live like this...”

The Xiayi Divine Emperor narrowed his eyes as a look of anticipation came over his face.

“Unfortunately, the situation is not always what we hope for...” He sighed suddenly.

‘The situation is not always what we hope for... Has the situation really gotten that bad?’ Bu Fang focused his eyes and gave the Divine Emperor a look.

“The Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty has sent us the latest information... The Soul Demons had surrounded several of their great worlds. After a major battle, all of these great worlds fell.” The Divine Emperor took another sip of wine.

For an old man like him who had experienced the vicissitudes of the years, drinking a cup of wine was actually tasting life. He enjoyed the soothing feeling when the wine was sliding down his throat.

Bu Fang said nothing. He had already warned the Xiayi Divine Emperor that those Soul Demons were strong, especially Soul Thirteen. He could only barely fight that Soul Demon to a draw even after he crushed a divine power liquid drop.

“Don’t worry... The Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty has many experts, so we don’t need to worry too much. Its Divine Empress is no less fearsome than I am... Besides, she is not the only God Emperor in her divine dynasty,” the Xiayi Divine Emperor said. “The Lord of the Phoenix from the Phoenix Nest is also a God Emperor.”

‘The Lord of the Phoenix...’ Bu Fang nodded. ‘The Xiayi Divine Dynasty has the Dragon Valley, and the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty has the Phoenix Nest...’

A long time ago, the Phoenix Nest used to be a great world attached to the Xiayi Divine Dynasty, but then it was given to the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty after a great war between the two dynasties.

Of course, the war today was not a war between dynasties, but one that concerned the survival of all living beings in this Chaotic Universe—the two divine dynasties were bound to share the same enemy.

The Divine Emperor drummed his fingers on the table. He looked at Bu Fang, and after a moment of silence, he continued, “The Soul Demons know that you will expose them when you return, so they have taken the initiative to attack... Their army should have almost approached us...”

“They split their army in two?” Bu Fang froze for a moment. Those Soul Demons were really rampant.

“You could say so... Soul Thirteen did not appear in the war against the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty. The Divine Empress struck several times and killed many Numbered Soul Demons, but she never forced Soul Thirteen to show up... That means he must have come to the Xiayi Divine Dynasty...”

As soon as he said that, his expression became much more serious. “He should be coming for you.” He took a deep breath and drained his cup.

‘He’s coming for me...’ Bu Fang narrowed his eyes.

In fact, Soul Thirteen had his sights set not only on Bu Fang but also on Nethery. He had been coveting their bodies for too long. Nethery was a very unusual person. As long as she fused everything that belonged to the dead woman, she would be able to obtain the body of a Heavengod.

Since the battle in the Titan Divine Dynasty, though, Soul Thirteen’s main target might have changed to Bu Fang. After all, Bu Fang had already comprehended four supreme Laws of the Universe, which proved that his talent was simply unmatched!

“It’s fine. Let him come.” The corners of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched slightly.

After completing the temporary task, he received not only the Qilin Transmigration Ladle but also a divine power liquid drop. If he met Soul Thirteen again, it was hard to tell who would end up getting mauled!

Bu Fang drank a cup of wine and then stood up. After saying goodbye to the Divine Emperor, he turned and stepped back into the kitchen.

Lord Dog, lying under the Path-Understanding Tree, glanced up at the Divine Emperor, who was drinking and eating, and yawned.

The Divine Emperor focused his eyes and glanced at Lord Dog with a slight surprise. ‘This dog is getting stronger... The pressure hiding inside him makes him look like a dormant monster...’

Lord Dog’s paw rested on the Heavengod’s bone. The markings that once covered the bone’s surface had faded significantly, and the energy in it seemed to have been absorbed by him.

The Divine Emperor looked away, exhaled, and continued to drink, savoring the rare peace. His favorite thing to do now was to hide his identity and come to Bu Fang’s restaurant for a drink and food.

Suddenly, as he picked up the food with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, his eyes snapped open. The whole capital shook at this moment!

“What’s happening?!”

“What’s going on? Why is the capital shaking?”

“Has the war begun?!”

The experts in the capital were shocked and angry. The people in the restaurant turned their heads and looked at the huge defensive array outside the capital. As long as the array was still in place, the invaders would not be able to break into the city.

“How is this possible... How could those Soul Demons have approached here so fast? Have the front lines at those great worlds all fallen?”

The Divine Emperor frowned. He stood up, and his body began to glow. Then, in the blink of an eye, he turned into a stream of light and shot out of the restaurant.

The sudden change of events startled everyone.

“His Majesty! That old man is actually His Majesty!”

Everyone immediately got down on their knees and bowed their heads in the direction the Divine Emperor had left.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The divine dynasty’s defensive array was constantly attacked, causing ripples of energy to spread out in the sky. All of a sudden, with a loud rumble, battle cries rang out from across the capital. The next moment, countless generals flew up into the sky.

King Pingyang, fully clad in armor, stood in his chariot. His face was serious, and he was filled with the desire to fight. As a King of the Xiayi Divine Dynasty, it was his duty to protect the dynasty! He was excited to be able to fight on the battlefield again!

For a moment, the air was filled with battle cries!

...

Outside the curtain of light that was the defensive array, an expert covered in black barbaric glyphs stepped out of the void with scarlet eyes. The next moment, his entire body exploded, and then a pale bone warship emerged from his shattered flesh, its surface covered with eerie-looking bone spikes.

Three black balls of flesh were suspended in front of the bone warship. They were expanding, and then suddenly, they all burst apart with a rumble, turning into three behemoths that covered the entire sky.

An oppressive black aura filled the air, and black lightning flashed continuously, tearing everything apart.

The three huge black monsters opened their mouths at once and let out bestial roars that shook the whole Xiayi Divine Dynasty’s capital. They looked terrifying—their backs were covered with thick scales, and their tails, claws, and foreheads were covered with sharp spikes.

On the backs of these fearsome beasts sat countless Titan experts with barbaric glyphs painted all over their bodies. Their eyes were scarlet.

On the warship, the two Keepers of the Divine Temple stood against the wind, sneering as their scarlet eyes locked on the bustling city behind the defensive array...

Using special means, they had concealed their movements and brought the ancient beasts of the Soul Demon to the Xiayi Divine Dynasty’s capital. They were not here for an outing. Their goal was to take over the capital with one fell swoop, or at least to destroy it so that they could deal a great blow to the human army!

“Attack!”

The two Keepers cried out, and the three enormous beasts roared. As their voices shattered the void, their huge barbed tails slammed down toward the Xiayi Divine Dynasty’s defensive array!
