Chapter 1213 Passing Through With Force!
Realm Lord Di Tai and Ying Ya had already stepped into the gates and were engulfed by darkness.
Bu Fang didn’t know where these demon mouths led to. He looked up at the huge golden eyes in the sky, feeling the mighty pressure in them. He squinted at them for a long time, then exhaled and turned around, walking straight into the darkness.
He clasped his hands behind his back and walked at a steady pace. He wanted to see how frightening this so-called Culinary Gates of Life and Death was. If he passed it, he would be rewarded with Dark Qilin Bone, which was the item required to complete the system’s temporary task. It was a win-win situation for him.
Tap, tap, tap…
Bu Fang walked straight down the tunnel. His footfalls were the only sound in the dark and quiet tunnel. Soon, even the only light source, which came from the entrance, disappeared. Darkness crept up on him and wrapped him from top to bottom, making him feel extremely cold.
He opened his mouth. A mass of white flame rushed out of it and burned ragingly in his palm, sending a scorching heat across the surroundings while illuminating the tunnel.
Suddenly, a sharp noise rang out as one bone spear after another thrust out of the bone walls and shot toward Bu Fang at top speed.
“Oh?” Bu Fang was slightly taken aback. “So this is the Gate of Life and Death? It seems like the tunnel is trying to kill me… ” The bone spears gave him the same ominous feeling as those that appeared after his opponent lost the Chef’s Challenge.
He furrowed his eyebrows and looked somewhat annoyed. “If this is death, where is life?” He felt that this assessment was not worthy of the name.
“The Gates of Life and Death consist of life gates and death gates. The life gates will lead one to the assessment of culinary arts, while the death gates will lead one to… death.” The system’s voice suddenly rang out in Bu Fang’s head.
That gave Bu Fang a pause. He didn’t expect that the system would appear to explain to him. Nevertheless, he seemed to have stepped into a death gate, to judge from what the system said.
Of the three gates, one was the death gate, and he happened to choose it.
Bu Fang felt somewhat speechless and a little disgusted. It seemed to him that one had to be lucky to get the inheritance, and the arrangement was used to simply reduce the number of candidates.
What was the point of this?
He sighed softly and unleashed his divine will. His eyes seemed to flicker with a faint golden gleam. The next moment, he sensed the gaps between the bone spears that came at him from all directions. He moved rapidly and agilely, dodging all the sharp bones.
BOOM! BOOM!
Those bone spears pierced into the ground, only to come back out again in the next instant with even stronger forces. If Bu Fang were pierced by one of them, he would instantly be riddled by the others and torn into a thousand pieces. It would not be good for him.
“This seems to be somewhat different from the Divine Chef’s inheritance I imagined.” Bu Fang pursed his lips. Of the assessments he had gone through so far, only the first one, the Stairway of Culinary Arts, was good enough. The rest were almost like jokes. “Why is this Divine Chef’s challenge so lax?”
Even then, he turned his body slightly. A bone spear shot past him and went straight into the ground. Bu Fang narrowed his eyes as a hostile look flashed in them. With a thought, Foxy appeared in his arms.
The little fox, who was pulled out of the Heaven and Earth Farmland, looked a little confused. While nibbling at a spirit fruit she held with her tiny paws, she blinked and glanced around. Then, she came to her senses, and she quickly and excitedly climbed up along Bu Fang’s body, lay on his shoulder, and rubbed both her tails against his face.
Bu Fang rubbed Foxy’s head, then told her to blast the tunnel apart. He was frustrated by the bone spears.
The little fox nodded and opened her mouth. Golden energy missiles immediately poured out from between her jaws and blasted the whole tunnel apart!
Bu Fang chose to pass through the death gate with force. Since there was no way out, he would blast one open. If truth be told, he wasn’t too concerned about the Divine Chef’s inheritance. He probably wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the system’s task. He had his own way, and he would complete his Cooking Path through it. Other people’s ways did not suit him.
The bone walls around him kept breaking apart, and the whole tunnel seemed to be collapsing. Bu Fang summoned Shrimpy, stepped onto its back, and flew along the tunnel at top speed, turning into a golden stream of light and heading toward the distance. The deeper he went, the more powerful the bone spears were. Shrimpy flew faster and faster as the tunnel behind them was engulfed by flames.
RUMBLE!
Bu Fang’s behavior seemed to have infuriated the will of the Divine Chef’s inheritance as the pressure in the tunnel suddenly grew stronger.
He frowned and unleashed his divine will. The addition of the mental forces from the Divine Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Turtle made his divine will even stronger. It spread out in an instant, forcing back the will of the Divine Chef’s inheritance.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, Bu Fang crashed through the tunnel wall and flew out of it. Broken pieces of bones flew in the air as he stood on Shrimpy’s back with Foxy in his arms.
The Gates of Life and Death consisted of life gates and death gates. The life gates would lead one to the assessment of culinary arts, while the death gates will lead one to… death.
However, Bu Fang had used force and created his own life gate in the death gate.
After passing through the death gate, Bu Fang floated in midair and glanced around. What he saw gave him a pause.
It was an empty field. There was a huge cooking bench in the distance, where a figure with its head bowed sat, seemingly lifeless.
“Oh, an Abyssal Demon?” Bu Fang murmured suspiciously.
He thought that the figure should be an Abyssal Demon, who was also the master of this Divine Chef’s inheritance.
“The Divine Chef is an Abyssal Demon?!” He took a deep breath. He felt that he was right.
In front of the Abyssal Demon’s body was a rainbow altar with all kinds of ingredients on it, which were wrapped in white light shields that were suspended in the air. Rich spirit essence kept rising from those ingredients. Without question, they were all supreme sacred grade immortal ingredients. Bu Fang saw True Dragon meat, Phoenix meat, Qilin bone, and many other rare and precious things.
The Dark Qilin Bone among them was the purpose of Bu Fang’s participation in this inheritance.
He floated in midair and felt waves of pressure sweeping over at him. Far off, Realm Lord Di Tai and Ying Ya sat cross-legged on the ground. Their eyes were closed as if they had fallen into some sort of vision and were going through a violent assessment. He didn’t interrupt them. Although the Divine Chef was an Abyssal Demon, he might be genuine about his promise of passing his inheritance. If that was the case, waking the realm lord now would be equivalent to destroying his opportunity.
He asked Shrimpy to put him down on the ground. Then, he walked slowly toward the altar.
There were many good things on the altar. Clearly, they were the rewards for those who had completed the assessments. Perhaps, then, the Divine Chef’s inheritance was not a sham.
Bu Fang saw a black stone tablet in the middle of the altar. He glanced at it from a distance. The writing on it was about the Abyssal Demon’s deeds.
He was an Abyssal Demon who had become a Divine Chef, the founder of the Abyssal Gourmet, the lord and a former leader of the Abyss. Judging from his deeds written on the stone table, he was not a villain.
When he was young, he traveled with a peerless Divine Chef to learn Culinary Arts in the Immortal Cooking Realm. After learning many cooking skills, he returned to the Abyss and taught other Abyssal Demons a variety of culinary techniques. He also recruited many apprentices and introduced the cuisine of the Abyss to the world.
However, as the years passed and the Abyssal Demon grew older, his apprentices had split into various schools in the Abyss and competed with each other. To get his inheritance, they imprisoned him and even used his flesh to cook dishes in an attempt to become a Divine Chef like him.
This deeply saddened him.
He set up his inheritance in the Abyss, and because he learned his cooking skills from human beings, human beings were also eligible for his inheritance. That, in turn, was one of the reasons why the Nether Chef Clan invaded the Abyss.
The Abyssal Demon lived at the heyday of the Abyss. He had not lived through the dark days when the Abyss was ruled by the Nether Prison, so he didn’t have any evil intention when setting up the inheritance. He was simply looking for a suitable successor.
After reading the Divine Chef’s deeds, Bu Fang no longer had any doubts about this inheritance. Of course, he was still annoyed by the setting in the death gate. If he hadn’t asked Foxy to blow up the tunnel, he would have died in it. Therefore, he didn’t like this Divine Chef either.
Bu Fang went to the rainbow altar and glanced at the ingredients. Then, he reached out a hand and took the Dark Qilin Bone. It was rich in spirit essence and surrounded in tiny glowing specks. After putting away the bone, he didn’t touch the other sacred grade immortal ingredients.
He was not a greedy man. He came to this land of inheritance to get this Dark Qilin Bone. Besides, he had passed through the death gate, and he needed a reward for himself.
Now that he had completed the system’s task, the system’s serious voice rang out in his head.
“Congratulations on completing your current task: Go to the Abyss and obtain the Dark Qilin Bone. You are now rewarded with: Twenty percent increase in your true energy cultivation.”
Bu Fang’s eyes lit up. The next moment, he felt the true energy vortex in his dantian begin to spin violently, and his aura rose abruptly to a critical point and broke through a minor shackle. The true energy in the vortex surged like a vast sea and was showing signs of crystallization. Once it completely crystallized, it meant that his true energy cultivation had stepped into the Sacred Realm.
Although he had not reached that stage yet, his current cultivation base was almost equivalent to that of the half-step Saint, and his fighting capacity was more than twice as strong as before. Moreover, his divine will seemed to have grown stronger as well, which improved his overall strength. Based on the current strength of his divine will, he could throw out two ordinary Perishing Pots at the same time.
RUMBLE!
Just as Bu Fang was sensing his improved cultivation base, the ground under his feet suddenly shook. He was slightly taken aback, and he glanced at Realm Lord Di Tai and Ying Ya, who sat cross-legged on the ground in the distance. Frowning, he turned, stepped onto Shrimpy’s back, and soared into the sky in a golden beam of light.
With a boom, he flew out of the land of inheritance. Although the inheritance was great, it was useless to him. He had his own way.
A dark golden light beam ripped through the golden light pillar. Shrimpy brought Bu Fang out of the land of inheritance and came to a boundless wilderness.
Far off, law enforcers clad in blood-colored robes stood in the wilderness like spears, their eyes closed. The moment Bu Fang appeared, their eyes flicked open and glowed dazzlingly. In the next instant, a piercing noise echoed through the air as if a message was being passed around.
Standing on Shrimpy’s back, Bu Fang suddenly felt a tingling sensation in his skin as if he was being targeted by many streams of mental forces.
Two law enforcement teams were waiting for him right outside the land of inheritance.
“You’ve finally shown up, the human riding on a shrimp! Lord Judge ordered me to wait for you here and kill you as soon as you appear! Now, come and face your death!” The voice of a Little Saint thundered.
The next moment, terrible auras filled the skies as the law enforcers charged madly at Bu Fang, while black spears thrust out from down below, blotted out the skies, and rained down at him!
