Chapter 1664: Finally Agreed to Return
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Bu Fang was dead? Hit by an attack of that magnitude, he should have been dead.
Tongtian and Yang Jian were almost despairing. They had never expected such a turn of events.
Cracks had appeared in the Eight Trigrams Array constructed by Fuxi, causing a Chaotic-Saint-level Soul Overlord to come out of it. This was a nightmare for everyone and a major disaster for the Ancestral Planet.
No one thought Bu Fang could withstand an attack of this magnitude.
Pride Great Soul Overlord froze. As the destructive energy dissipated, he saw a silvery red flame, which burned brightly as if to incinerate all things in heaven and earth.
“This is...” His pupils constricted, then he reached out his hand to put out the flame. However, he had only just raised his hand when the flame burst into an even more brilliant light.
...
Bu Fang was a little disoriented. At that moment, he really thought he was going to die. It was the closest he had come to death since his debut. The destructive power of that dark energy could easily tear apart his body and destroy his soul.
“Where is this?” He opened his eyes. Could this be the place that came after death?
“You have woken up, child?”
Just as Bu Fang was at a loss, a gentle voice rang out.
That gave him pause. He turned, looked in the direction where the sound had come from, and saw an old man sitting cross-legged not far away.
“Suiren?” Bu Fang’s pupils constricted.
“We meet again...” the old man said with a smile.
Bu Fang nodded and gave him a complicated look. He had seen the old man turn into dust and disappear with his own eyes, and now he saw him again. This proved that he was dead...
A pity that he had not been able to accomplish his dream of becoming the God of Cooking. He sighed and felt slightly at a loss.
“Haha... You think you’re dead, little one?” said Suiren, looking at Bu Fang with some amusement. He stood up, put his hands behind him, and paced slowly. His movements were light and leisurely as if he were taking a stroll in his own backyard.
“Have you not...” Bu Fang was confused.
“Haha... I am indeed dead, but a wisp of my divine sense remains in the primordial fire of mankind. This is something that even I didn’t expect,” Suiren said with a laugh. He sounded happy.
“So where is this place?” Bu Fang caught the hidden meaning in the old man’s words. In other words, he was not dead? He glanced at the Vermilion Robe, which was indeed slowly recovering.
With a thought, his consciousness sank into his spirit sea. Inside, every Artifact Spirit was looking at him with wide eyes.
‘I’m not dead...’ Bu Fang was a little surprised that the attack of that magnitude did not kill him. He really was the man who was going to become the God of Cooking!
“We’re inside the primordial fire,” said Suiren, glancing at everything around them. “Perhaps it is the providence of heaven that I passed the fire to you... It’s a karmic cycle.
“The moment you are struck by that terrible attack, I pulled you into this space of primordial fire. You looked really miserable... However, you have a strong recovery power and bounced back very quickly.
“Although your innate talent is amazing, your cultivation base is too weak. You are merely a Saint-to-be. It is too much for you to face a Chaotic Saint.”
Bu Fang nodded. Only after actually facing it did he realize how useless his ability to punch above his weight was against a real Chaotic-Saint-level expert.
“But you’ve done well enough...”
Suiren walked up to Bu Fang and gently stroked his head with a hand. It was like a kindly elder stroking the head of a younger generation. Technically, Bu Fang was indeed Suiren’s junior.
“Don’t worry, you’ll be safe in the primordial fire... But I didn’t pull you in here just to catch up with you. I need your help with something,” Suiren said.
Bu Fang paused, then he nodded and said, “What is it? Please tell me.”
The human emperor was a saint of great merit and virtue. He had led mankind from the era of eating animal flesh raw to the path of civilization. Why would such an existence need his help?
“You are the only one who can help me in this matter,” Suiren said with emotion.
Bu Fang did not say anything. He was waiting for Suiren to spell things out.
“The primordial fire of mankind represents heritage and hope. This wisp of fire has been burning since the beginning of chaos. It will not be extinguished. It never did, and it never will...
“There is hope in the primordial fire of mankind, and that hope needs to be found. All I have left now is a wisp of consciousness. I can’t go looking for it. If I were to go, I would likely be burned to ashes by the fire before I could find it. But you can...
“Seek out the hope in the primordial fire and let it spread throughout the world so that I might have hope of resurrection. I’m not afraid of death. It’s just that the plight brought by the Soul Demons is not solved, and I’m not willing to leave like this. And so are my other two old friends...”
Suiren said a lot, and Bu Fang listened quietly. The flames were burning around him, and instead of giving off scorching heat, they made his soul feel comfortable.
“Senior, don’t worry... I will do my best to find it,” Bu Fang nodded and said solemnly. If there was real hope of Suiren’s resurrection, he naturally would not give up.
Suiren smiled. In that instant, he seemed many years younger. “Then I’m counting on you...” he said. After that, he snapped his fingers.
Bu Fang instantly saw a flash of light. The next moment, his body spun violently, and then he was in a scorching hot place.
...
Boom!
A dragon paw fell and shattered the void. However, the silvery red flame disappeared in an instant.
“What a slippery fire... So this is the primordial fire of mankind?” Pride Great Soul Overlord grinned. “It is said to never go out... Let’s see if you really can’t be extinguished,” he said coldly.
Suddenly, a monstrous Soul Demon aura rose from his back, churning and surging as if to destroy everything. The sinful power then turned into raging waves, rolling across the starry sky and rushing toward the primordial fire to extinguish it.
“Eh?! It’s not just the primordial fire of mankind...”
Amid the black waves, Pride Great Soul Overlord let out a little shriek. He could feel the power of the Laws in that fire.
The power of the Laws came from the Chaotic Universe, a universe that the Soul Demons had invaded but were then defeated and chased out. He had not thought at all that he would sense the aura of the Chaotic Universe in the Ancestral Planet of mankind. There must be something fishy about it.
“The Chaotic Universe...” A look of amusement came over the Soul Overlord’s face.
He became serious. As a Chaotic-Saint-level Soul Overlord, his strength was extremely strong. A huge amount of sinful power immediately poured down to put out the primordial fire.
In the distance, Tongtian gritted his teeth, while Yang Jian’s eyes shot with blood. The primordial fire of mankind would never be extinguished!
Suddenly, the void trembled, and then a black ship slowly sailed out of it. A pretty young girl sat at the front of the ship, swinging her long fair legs. Black hair tumbled down behind her back.
The Empyrean Fairy was kneeling behind the girl, gently brushing her long, neat hair.
“This is...”
Tongtian and Yang Jian were obviously not expecting anyone else to show up at this point.
“She’s that little girl beside fellow Daoist Bu... Why is the Empyrean Fairy here as well?” Yang Jian sucked in a cold breath.
Nethery stood up.
The Empyrean Fairy took a few steps back, holding the wooden comb. Her heart was throbbing now. The terrible aura that filled the starry sky frightened her, and the power that could kill her with just a wisp of aura made her not brave enough to fight.
She suddenly admired Nethery. ‘How could this girl be so calm in the face of such a fearsome existence?’
“Get out of here! Run!” Yang Jian shouted to Nethery. He did not think she could create a miracle. What else could she do when even Bu fang was killed? “Fellow Daoist Bu is dead! You don’t have to come here and get yourself killed!” he roared.
The Empyrean Fairy’s heart shuddered. ‘What? He’s dead? That heaven-defying evil man is dead? It can’t be... If he’s dead, how could I be still unharmed? After all, I have the array he set up inside me...’
Nethery looked at Yang Jian as if she was looking at an idiot.
Bu Fang was dead? What kind of a joke was that? In her perception, Bu Fang’s aura was so clearly present. He was not dead. He was still alive.
“Oh... How interesting. More people are coming to die.”
The corners of Pride Great Soul Overlord’s mouth curved upward slightly. His dark golden scales emitted an icy sharpness that suppressed heaven and earth. He was arrogant—he had no regard for anyone except the Soul God.
Yang Jian and Tongtian flew to the side of the Netherworld Ship.
“Fellow Daoist Bu was killed by this Soul Demon... Quick, get out of here. We will avenge him!”
Blood trickled from the corner of Tongtian’s mouth. He was getting a little desperate. No one present was a match for this Chaotic-Saint-level Soul Demon. Unless the Chaotic Saints of the Primitive Universe come here, no one could resolve this crisis.
“Bu Fang is not dead,” Nethery said with a frown as she glanced at the Sect Leader.
“I’m sorry, little girl,” Tongtian sighed.
“I told you, Bu Fang isn’t dead!” she said that again in a serious voice.
“Alas... Life and death are ruled by fate. Little girl, don’t let hate get in your head... Leave now. Fellow Daoist Bu doesn’t want to see you die for him.”
The corner of Nethery’s mouth twitched. She was speechless. Even the Empyrean Fairy behind her did not know whether to cry or laugh.
‘What Nethery said is true. Bu Fang is not dead!’
Suddenly, brilliant light burst out of the primordial fire covered by a huge amount of black smoke. It tore open a path through the black smoke and rose into the sky. In the blink of an eye, flames spread rapidly and filled heaven and earth, and then a clear scene appeared in front of everyone.
In the scene, Bu Fang was seen walking with his hands behind him toward a sea of flames.
Tongtian froze for a moment, while Yang Jian and Sun Wukong blinked, speechless. Bu Fang was still alive? The atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
“Impossible... How can this human still be alive?!” Pride Great Soul Overlord’s pupils constricted. He roared, and his voice immediately shattered many stars. “The primordial fire of mankind! Dammit! I’ll put you out with a slap!”
His hissed. The next moment, he threw out his dragon paw. Horrible sinful power burst forth from it, causing the void to collapse as it rushed toward the flame. He wanted to extinguish the flame with a slap and tear Bu Fang to pieces!
Standing on the Netherworld Ship, Nethery focused her eyes. Looking at Pride Great Soul Overlord, a huge amount of ghostly green energy suddenly burst out from her body!
“How dare you hurt Bu Fang... You’re courting death!”
Boom!
A terrifying aura rushed up into the sky. Nethery’s black hair turned ghostly green in an instant, and her face was streaked with ghostly green patterns. A huge cursed snake emerged and coiled around the ship, while a dreadful curse power began to pervade the void.
Bam!
The void began to collapse.
Nethery’s long black dress ripped and shattered. The next moment, a set of ghostly green armor emerged and wrapped her delicate figure completely. At the same time, a ghostly green spear appeared on her back, spewing astonishing curse power that caused the void to crumble.
“You finally agreed to return...”
A mighty voice boomed. Nethery’s gaze seemed to look through the void.
“Since you have agreed... Then I will give you power.”
No sooner had the voice gone out than Nethery suddenly disappeared from the ship.
The Empyrean Fairy almost choked, while Tongtian and Yangjian were frozen in place. What had happened? Why did that little girl suddenly become so scary?
Boom!
Pride Great Soul Overlord’s paw was pierced by a spear. Nethery, in her green armor and holding the spear, looked at him coldly.
“I won’t allow you to touch Bu Fang.”
The Soul Overlord’s pupils constricted as he looked at his paw, which was pierced by the spear. The next moment, his aura began to boil, and the killing intent in him surged.
He looked at Nethery’s emotionless eyes, the cursed snake that wrapped around her, the ghostly green armor, and the cursed power that filled the air.
Pride Great Soul Overlord opened his mouth and said in a cold voice, “The Queen of Curses of the Void City?!”
