Gourmet of Another World

A ray of deep blue light shot across the dark sky like a meteor, heading toward the bronze gate.

Bu Fang hovered in the air, his body glowing red as the Vermillion Robe fluttered in the wind. Behind him, two flaming wings were spread open, scattering fiery feathers.

His eyes narrowed as he looked into the distance.

He was really curious. After all, what was the power of this latest, deadly dish?

This cabbage pot was cooked with the Fiery Heart Cabbage that Niu Hansan had prepared for him. Faint blue lightning arcs danced around the dish.

Although Bu Fang had no idea of its power yet, it had been really difficult to cook it.

The Fiery Heart Cabbage really did contain formidable energy. If he had been careless during his cooking process, he would have created a conflict between the Great Path’s will and the Gourmet Array. If that had happened, he would have been unable to control the energy.

This dish contained even more Great Path’s will than the Bursting Pissing Beef Meatball, so the gap in their powers was akin to day and night.

Once it blew up, the might of the explosion would be enough to make people shiver.

Of course…

There was also the possibility that its power was not as formidable as Bu Fang had imagined.

The cyan palm had thick blue veins, furiously patting the bronze gate, trying to break it in.

Although Lord Dog had closed the bronze gate with his paw, it was still being pushed, making a narrow slit where a horrible aura continuously rushed out.

The deep blue cabbage pot soared into the air and flew towards the bronze gate.

The cyan palm, which seemed to have sensed the approaching energy, suddenly raised itself up.

Horrible gusts of wind howled, generating a wave of intense pressure as that cyan palm directly grabbed the incoming cabbage pot.

From the slit, an aura filled with disdain surged out. It was as though it did not understand why the cabbage pot was used.

Did he intend to use a lotus pot to hit him, hoping that he would be forced to retreat?

What sort of joke was that?!

This bronze gate could not stop him for much longer. Soon, he would be able to tear the seal off!

At that time… the entire Immortal Cooking Realm would become the Dark Nether Cooking Realm’s, and its Heavenly Path would become a thing in his pocket!

Boom! Boom!

The giant cyan palm arose as if it could hold a corner of the sky. Slowly, it flew and grabbed the cabbage pot that was flying like a blue comet.

In the distance, Bu Fang couldn’t help but arch his brows.

He had decided to test the power of his deadly dish on that cyan palm—there was no better choice.

The Bursting Pissing Beef Meatball was really powerful. With several meatballs, he could kill a Nine-star True Immortal Realm expert.

Moreover, the Great Path’s will had increased the power of his Dried Pot Cabbage, that’s why Bu Fang didn’t dare to test it in his farmland.

There was a possibility he could blow up the entire farmland…

If that happened, Bu Fang would cry.

Swoosh.

Suddenly, Bu Fang narrowed his eyes, fixing his gaze on the huge cyan palm in the distance.

That cyan palm had balled itself into a fist, but each of its fingers was vibrating.

Something within the balled fist was causing it to swell horribly.

Sizzle. Sizzle. Sizzle.

Lightning shot out from the gaps between the cyan palm’s fingers. It was so strong that it charred the palm.

“Now!”

Bu Fang raised the corners of his mouth, looking elated.

Boom!

Immediately after, a violent explosion erupted!

In a blink of an eye, the fierce waves from the explosion expanded.

A dazzling mushroom cloud sprung up in the distance. It was so bright that Bu Fang had to squint his eyes.

The furious aura of the Great Path’s will seemed to fill the air.

A horrible screech suddenly rang out from behind the bronze gate!

Bu Fang watched as a gigantic blue lotus emerged, accompanied by endless bolts of lightning and bright flashes.

Arcs of lightning, which carried tremendous power, surged within the lotus. It eventually exploded, causing the city walls of the Nether Prison to tremble hard.

The horrible screech had come from the owner of the cyan palm, who was behind the bronze gate.

However, the explosion from the lightning lotus didn’t end there. It was just the beginning.

Right after that, the energy within the lotus burst out completely!

It became a mushroom cloud rising high in the sky, preceded by an earth-shaking explosion.

The mushroom cloud… had caught the attention of the bewildered spectators.

After a while, the fiery scene slowly dispersed.

The city wall of Nether Prison, which was now riddled with cracks, trembled as though it was about to collapse.

Cyan smoke wafted from the bronze gate.

There was a dead silence behind the gate. It seemed the owner of that cyan palm had been exploded to death!

In the distance, Niu Hansan and Nethery gawked in disbelief, their mouths hanging open.

That power…

It scared them all.

That explosion, which had rattled the entire city wall, seemed capable of destroying the world.

Although it could not do that, the power of the explosion was truly intimidating.

Indeed, both of them were so scared.

Of course, Niu Hansan still appraised the toughness of the city wall.

That Dried Pot Cabbage, a Death Food Tool, was something he and Owner Bu had studied for a long time⁠—all to invent the strongest deadly food!

Furthermore, Owner Bu had to use half of his mental force. He had almost drained the mental force in his spirit sea just to draw three Gourmet Arrays on the Dried Pot Cabbage.

Any more than that would have been beyond his control.

It really was too difficult to balance the Gourmet Array and the will of Great Path.

However, even if it had only the three Gourmet Arrays, the power of its explosion was not something others could look down on!

“T-That… That expert… Is he dead?” Niu Hansan, who had just watched black smoke and lightning arcs surge from within the bronze gate, turned to Nethery and asked in a shaky voice.

Nethery’s black eyes held a strange gaze. Bu Fang had cooked something really fierce.

Nethery didn’t know whether or not the owner of that giant cyan palm had died. She could not even estimate the might of that explosion.

That being the case, she was sure that nothing would be left off her if she got hit by that attack.

Roar!

After some moments of silence, a horrible rage-filled roar caused the surroundings to tremble!

“Damn the Immortal Cooking Realm! Dared to ambush me! Despicable!”

Thud.

The bronze gate trembled once again. It was as though the enraged creature behind it had begun to smash into it once again.

Rumble! Rumble!

A giant hand reached out from the gap in the doors.

When the onlookers spotted the massive hand, they sucked in breaths of cold air.

Even Bu Fang was shaken.

That huge cyan palm was now… only white bones!

Its blue flesh and blood had been blown off.

The expert behind was extremely powerful. If he were not, his entire arm would have been blown off.

Even now, his huge white bones were riddled with cracks.

The trembling hand seemed close to shattering into pieces. The injury it had suffered appeared to be a really serious one!

Bu Fang exhaled inwardly. That Dried Pot Cabbage was as powerful as a small nuclear warhead!

Simply formidable!

Bu Fang didn’t know how strong the expert behind the bronze gate was, but he should be no weaker than Lord Dog.

Anyway, the Death Food Tool that had wounded that expert was surely not ordinary.

Bu Fang had carved just three Gourmet Arrays on it. If only he could harvest more Gourmet Arrays and draw them onto the dish, the explosion it would cause was impossible to imagine.

Bu Fang’s lips curled upward. It was just a test, and this accidental move had turned into his strongest attack.

“The power’s so intimidating. I’ll call this Perishing Pot, a pot that can destroy heaven and earth!”

Boom!

The expert on the other side began to hit the bronze gate even harder.

Suddenly, the sound of a blast rang out, and to Bu Fang’s surprise, blood seeped out from the gap between the bronze gate.

“Damn you! I won’t forgive you! After I get into Immortal Cooking Realm, I will really slaughter you to erase this grudge in my heart!”

The Nether Prison’s expert was so enraged that he vomited blood. He roared even louder!

Anybody who heard this roar would be incredibly shaken…

…

The wooden house, peak of the Immortal Cooking Realm

A naked Realm Lord Di Tai was in his bed, snoring. Suddenly, he woke up with a start.

He was scared, causing beads of sweat to drip down his body.

What was that sound?

Realm Lord Di Tai widened his eyes, bewildered. He did not know what to do.

Then, he sensed the location of that horrible explosion, causing his expression to change immediately.

“The Heaven Nether Bridge again… How could something happen there? Can you guys just let people sleep, please!”

Realm Lord Di Tai scratched his shiny gold hair, feeling mad.

However, he didn’t dare to linger. He quickly put on his golden armor and tore through the void.

In just a short while, Realm Lord Di Tai arrived near the Heaven Nether Bridge. Wearing a grumpy face, he was trying to suppress his annoyance.

However, after he saw the scene, he was baffled, and he had almost choked on his breath.

“Holy sh*t… What’s going on?!”

Realm Lord Di Tai was perplexed.

In the distance…

The bronze gate had a big lotus-shaped dent. Lightning arcs crackled on the gap and were still crawling and flashing.

The ground shattered unceasingly.

The massive city wall of the Nether Prison had tens of thousands of cracks.

Realm Lord Di Tai clearly understood how strong the city wall was, but now, that tough city wall was riddled with cracks.

Who did that?!

Realm Lord Di Tai felt cold.

Moreover, the massive cyan palm… No, that hand was mere white bones now… was full of cracks.

That cracked skeletal hand laid there helplessly.

Realm Lord Di Tai still remembered how terrifying that hand was. One palm strike from it could almost destroy him!

However, when he saw the state the hand was in, he felt rather funny.

“So karma came that fast?!”

Roar!

The Nether Prison’s expert roared in rage from the other side of the bronze gate!

Realm Lord Di Tai tried not to laugh. However, he could not contain himself for long and burst out laughing.

He was excited that his enemy had been so gravely wounded.

After laughing, Realm Lord Di Tai became skeptical. Who was responsible for that, though? What had blown up that hand so bad that only its bones were left?

Did Lord Dog do that?

Impossible. If Lord Dog was able to do that, it would have done that already. It would not have needed to sneak.

That being said, besides Lord Dog, who could do that?

Realm Lord Di Tai was so confused and couldn’t come up with an answer.

…

Meanwhile, the perpetrators of this case had ridden the Netherworld Ship back to Immortal Chef Little Store.

Bu Fang’s mood was really good.

After he had returned Niu Hansan back to the farmland, he stayed in the kitchen and cooked.

A short while later, he walked out of the kitchen with two dishes in his hands.

Ding. Ding. Ding.

The bell jingled when the curtain at the door was pushed aside.

Bu Fang brought the radiant Spicy Blood Lobster to Nethery, who looked unable to wait any longer.

The red Blood Lobsters smelled so good and were piping hot, whetting the appetites of those who had sniffed its aroma.

The other dish was Lord Dog’s Sweet ‘n’ Sour Dragon Ribs.

The first prize of the Immortal Chef Tournament was a massive slab of True Dragon meat, which was more than enough to cook Sweet ‘n’ Sour Ribs for Lord Dog.

Naturally, Lord Dog was touched. Without wasting any time, he opened his mouth and began to wolf down the dish on the porcelain plate.

Bu Fang returned to the dining table, placing his palms on it as he calmly watched Nethery enjoy her Spicy Blood Lobsters.

Suddenly…

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Someone was knocking on the door.

Bu Fang looked up in surprise.

A voice rang out from outside. “Owner Bu, congratulations on becoming the champion of the Immortal Chef Tournament. I’m Tong Wudi, the City Lord. I bring big gifts to congratulate you…”
